anxiety creeps
along my spine
"youre  not  good  enough!"
my conscious whines
"stupid , worthless , left  for  dead!"
i cant get these voices
out of my head.

sometimes i wish
i could end it all
but that would make me
all too responsible
for grief and pain
and suffering
for the ones i love
and who say they love me.

is this what life
is all about?
ive thought these thoughts
for 9 years now
and the only person
that can help
me from myself
is unhappy
from bottom to top
because of me
because  of  me .
they cant help
but sing me lies
in order to live
their chosen life
am i that bad?
that you could shatter
my trust into pieces
and have it not matter?

my heart is tearing
sobbing, moaning, crying
my fingernails tear
at my skin, im trying
to hold back
from digging in deeper
with a dull knife
or a sewing needle
just smoke it away
the cravings, the urges
get high and play
the thought game in which
i forget who i am
and who's life i am in.

i cant breathe
my lungs are tight
with fears that bleed
into my eyes.
tears stain my cheeks
and my sobs shriek
into my dark
and vacant room.
loneliness
shudders my teeth
hoping that
you'll come save me.

you're with your friends
cigarettes and drinks
you've probably found
a girl to please
your angry drives and
addictive needs
someone who's anything
but me.

and still i wait
in spite of my self
in chance you'll come
although you wont.

right before I go to bed
a little voice speaks in my head:

"Hello Angel."
I am so scared
I am so scared
I am so scared
Patience Dec 2014
I am the elephant
in the room
the frown, the tears
the sob, the gloom.

I am the tree
that's torn in two;
do I stay with myself
or do I change me for you?

So many decisions
rendering my distress.
Lack of comfort puts
jagged holes in my chest.

Breathe  in;   Breathe  out;
but why breath at all?
if even in my favorite spots,
I'm still uncomfortable.

a foreign hello
from a rare butterfly
who's name tag read "happy"
greeted me recently
letting me thrive in its presence
and capture its meaning

(whispers  tell  me  ive  found  heaven)
smoke between my lips
******* wounds and numb them through
(and  drown  me  in  your  bliss,)
Patience Oct 2014
my body is tired,
my mind is numb,
my eyes are wet
and i've bit my thumbs.
they're bleeding now,
and i want to sleep,
but my mind wont rest
without your blessing;
the queen can't end the day
without a kiss from her king.
