it’s funny that
after all these years
i finally tasted life
and still
i have not lived
Sarah Adams Jun 2014
Dream of me, like you used to.
Think of me, when no one is around.
Keep me a secret, like you’re supposed to.
Keep me hidden, safe and sound.
Talk to me, give me your attention.
Anything to keep me sane.
Comfort me when I’m crying,
Because you take away the pain.
Love me, just like you did before.
Think of me, when your vision is not so clear.
Keep me hidden in your thoughts,
And just maybe, I’ll appear.
Hate me if you have to,
But just know that this is real,
My love for you is eternal,
Even though that’s not how you feel.

Some people say that it’s a way to escape
A way for your mind to evacuate
A way to shake off the pain
To erase the names
To find peace
To soothe your mind
Yet you feel ashamed
As if it was wrong
To slice at your wrists
You cry at night
Blinded by the sight
Of the crimson fluid
Flowing down your arm
Running away from your problems
You continue to fly away
And cut at the arm that God made
Just for you
It’s not a way to solve things
With all the pain it brings
To your own self,
It damages you
Don’t throw your body away
Don’t throw away the perfection
that God made
Just for you
Because once the blade
touches your wrist
You become an addict
Trying to find your way out
But you keep going back
For more
Only because you’ve
Convinced yourself
That it helps

I can't stand to even look at myself in the mirror
I hate what the reflection is
the reflection that I see
It's just an empty body
Used for the remains of who I used to be
A girl
With a scattered mind,
A broken heart,
An unstable way of thinking

I truly hate what I've become,
I truly hate the things that I've done
All the excuses I've made
How I've exaggerated my pride
Into something unreal
A huge web of lies

I'm sick of parading my ignorance around town
I act like I know everything
It's because my heart's ripping
I'm trying way too hard just to be something

A label
A genre
A group
Anything that can confirm my worth

Fight or flight
War or retreat
Courage or cowardice
Victory or defeat

We are a generation born
thrown into a pile of blood
We are shunned

We are a generation born
thrown into a pit of shame
We are torn

We are a generation born
thrown to the ground, as if we meant nothing




--We are a generation born
To witness the end of the world
