Violin

Have you ever heard a violin?
The bow strumming peacefully across the strings
A beautiful symphony
Then you hit a sour note
And the beauty just starts to bleed away
Until every note is sour
Making you cringe with every beat
Making you want to scream

Don't Worry

Don't worry about it.
Her voice as sharp as blades.
Just give up on him.
Screeching like nails on a chalkboard
You can feel your world crashing around you.
You're falling.
No one is giving you the answers you need.
Life doesn't have a cheat sheet.
You need to figure this out.
But you can't think straight.
But don't worry.
I'm here for you.
I'll pick you back up once you crash.
You'll be okay.
Don't worry about it.

Cold Waters

"Do me a favor?" I whisper, my voice harsh
"Anything." you look up at me, tears in your eyes.
"Catch me"
I lean off the slippery bridge rail
I can hear you scream my name
Far above me
I crash hard into the sea
The cold water engulfs my body
I try to breathe and the liquid invades my lungs
Weighing me down like chains
My body grows heavy as the icy waters numb my nerves
My consciousness slowly fades
And just as fast as I fell
I'm gone

Depression

I'm always so tired
I never want to put effort into anything
I just want to lay in my room
Cuddled up in my blankets
Lay in silence
With clouded thoughts clogging my mind
My depression is eating me alive
And I just sit here and let it

Alone

With a knife in my hand
Blood drips to the floor
My mind is screaming
Begging for more

With a slash of a blade
Crimson stains my pale skin
A scream parts my lips
Someone please make this end

My head just feels cloudy
Nothing feels right
I want this to end
On this depressing, dark night

Everything hurts
I scream with the pain
Someone please help me
Make me happy again

My eyelids grow heavy
But I won't die tonight
My whole body aches
This starts to feel right

I drift off to sleep
Darkness surrounding my mind
Maybe, just maybe
There's a chance I'll be fine

I'll Be There

Your skin is stained with scars of your own doing.
Your makeup runs down your flushed cheeks.
You've tried to escape from this world full of pain.
But each time, you've been saved.
By someone who wants you to stay.
Someone who loves you.
There's someone watching over you, someone I don't believe in.
Telling you that you need to carry on.
So stay strong and keep marching.
And I will be here to catch you, when you trip and fall.

Storm

The rain falls against the window
Sounding like the soft pitter-patter of a child's feet
Lightning flashes
Like the sky is taking a picture
Thunder booms
Like the mighty king of the sky
I lay in my bedroom
Staring up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling
I listen to the storm play through its symphony
And carry me off to slumber
