I do not like it here
I do not like what we have.

Take the shovel,
here.

Pigeon-toed,
austere.

Dig deep in the earth,
big capable man.

Plunge through that dirt
until you reach the other side.

I'm
restless
as desert dust

the steps on me,
heavy.

Plant in me
the rose

and garden
the romance.

Won't you
resuscitate
the dear
in my tongue

tighten
the clutch
of these arms

soften
this face,
unalarmed

out of its casket
into a smile...

Take the shovel,
here.

You’ve been cold too.
Your body is quivering

so
dig
through
that
dirt

Dig deep in the earth,
big capable man.

Bring us both back
the last breathing rose.

But the man with the shovel
never came back...

However
I did hear he reached the other side.

"You're loved."
Can I ask why?
English version
Wake up from the short minute of sleeping I got, like always.
Go to school like always, meet the same people.
They talk almost about the same ****, everyday. Im tired of it.

Im tired of the same thing, over and over again. My mind is so noisy, but my mouth is so quiet and soundless.
Some people even think Im not capable of using my mind and put what I think into words, that I have to scream. Scream loud enough.
Because no one, would even care if I shared my thoughts.
They would go on with theirs same routines, same ******* like always.

So why bother? I go to school, everyday. I don't see the point of it at all.
I feel it's something everyone get's forced to go too.
But another day is here, and Im still here.

"Girls are like rocks
You skip the flat ones"
I'm sure whoever made this
Got a lot of laughs
But I promise you
The 'flat' girls...
We're not laughing.
This isn't my idea of a joke. Really though. Like there are funny jokes and there are jokes that can make someone feel like their purpose is to be "skipped" because they don't have extra fat.
With scents of crimson
and emerald lace, I
remembered your embrace.
With your hand around my throat, the scent of blood as we collided.
You're all I know of love, and boy
I know you.
As memories flood I as held that torn dress, with scents of crimson and emerald lace
It felt like having my chest cut open
over and over again
and the stinging pain just won't go away
it leaves me begging on my knees
for mercy and sympathy
and all I get are deeper cuts
and bigger pains.

It feels like having my heart ripped and shattered
crushed and broken
burnt and destroyed  
and it feels like everyone is watching
as I'm being smothered.
this ***** but im broken
Beg
I turn myself inside out with the truths
They destroy with ease
It leads me to one thought every time
Full circle and I'm begging, I'm begging for mercy, I'm begging to be done with it
I don't have to feel this way, I don't have to hurt everyday
I don't have to be here, do this ****
I don't have to live with all this, I could have peace, I could have non existence
I come to these conclusions, all the pain could be gone, I, there could be no 'I'
And I beg
Please
