Behind that fake smile
Behind those lies
Lie the distant echoes of my cries
Behind those frequent relapses
Lie my urge to recover
now give me some poison.
I am predictable in my unpredictability
I am trying to fight my melancholy
Behind that funny girl
Lies someone who wants to watch themselves burn

The one who laugh the loudest have felt the most pain.

I sign myself over

I sign myself over

I'm overwhelmed and it's all my fault.
I'm bleeding and I'm the one who pulled the blade.
I'm endlessly crying and I caused the tears.
I'm working hard and I'm the one holding myself back.
I'm having nightmares and I'm running from myself in those dreams.

(a.d)

I'm my own worse enemy.

Happy

I should be happy.

I woke up alive and well,
I should be happy.

I have new books to read,
I should be happy.

I have 490 songs on my iPod,
I should be happy.

I have good grades in school,
I should be happy.

I have friends who I can talk to and fangirl with,
I should be happy.

I'm young, I have my whole life ahead of me,
I should be happy.

I should be happy,
I'm not happy.

We met

We met

You admitted a weakness,
A sweetness in your honesty
But I never imagined it could be.

A glance caught,
A laugh shared with ease,
A fool, that's me.

So simply self convinced,
No chance for this.
But then, a light touch to knee...

And like that day you shook my hand,
We met.
And now I see.

So much to learn for
This is your world,
This language is is not me.

But I'm a fool
who wants to learn,
Teach me.

This is how I'll spend my nights away from you, I miss you all the time.

The Funeral

The Funeral

I am the wind that blows your hair
I am the sun up the summer sky
I am the water that flows in the spring
I am the brightest amongst the stars

Again I saw them grieve at the grave
A nice speech the eulogist gave
Oh dear friends, weep no more
For if anyone should ask
I am not there...
I did not die!!!

Pain

Pain

I write a word
I cut a slit
I send the message
another slit
I cry for you
One more slit
I die inside
I bleed a bit

This poem I write
Is in memory of those of times
when
Words
would
f
   l
     o
        w

from me to
- You-

and I hope you know
That with every word
every             of blood
drop

I miss you
and I miss you
and I miss you even more

Her love

Sep 2014 rare-and-rad

Priyadarshini Mukherjee

Her love

She loves her.

She loved her
with little rays of sunshine
and
Pitter patter tears.

Her love was like dew drops
on grass blades
on a misty morning.
Like a butterfly loitering around a little girl.
Like money on a starved beggars hand.

It was a humane love
built with
illogical trust and belief.
It was made of burnt bricks
of built up grief and an exhaustion
which comes from an eternal search
for a handful of love.

Her love was the size of her soul.
It was next to everything she would own even after death.

Going Insane

Going Insane

I have this feeling in my heart of rage and hate
Trying to stop it before it's too late
That **** that flows through my brain
Is starting to slowly drive me insane
It's like a car crash, with lots of glass.
It's like a house fire, with lots of ash.
It's like a tornado, so much destruction.
It's like i'm in ruins, under construction.
The feelings I've felt never cease.
My brain just needs to be at easy
burning slowly in the flames
this will be the last of your sick games
the smell of burning flesh consumes the air
as i suffer, you sit and stare.
unleashing wild, anger and screams
This is the stuff you see in your dreams.

Meth

****

This addiction is bad
These injections will change your life
It is everything, it is nothing, it is unexplainable
Like being stabbed a million times with a knife

It burns my whole body
Inside and out
I want to stop so bad
But it fills my mind with doubt

I become obsessive,
Sometimes I'm in rage
Even saying something simple
Will put me on a rampage

There are bugs in my skin
I get constant heat flashes
I can't stop itching
It leaves me with gashes

Your friends become enemies
Every family member is now a stranger
No one can be around you
Everyone is in danger

I'm loosing my body
I'm loosing mind
This specific drug,
It's the worst kind

I can't feel my body
Now it's all down hill
I no longer shake
I am completely still

My vision is impaired
Feels like it was injected into my eyes
I lay here stiff as a board
As my body slowly dies

— The End —
