My sister asked me why I'm so morbid
I didn't have an answer
Just that my veins bleed black
Not red

Depression is eating me slowly.
Depression
is loving skin that isn't his to claim
Cutting it up and naming it, as his...his own beautiful scars.
Why doesn't it hurt?
Blood running down my own skin that soon became skin unknown.
But don't get me wrong for once
the pain has stopped
and i don't feel like i'm drowning anymore
As blood runs down i can feel the pain
disappear, that's why cutting skin
that doesn't feel like my own are scarred up with what i call remorse

The room is empty,
The air is still,
Nothing but me,
My contempt.

It's cold,
Smooth,
Sharp,
Uncontrolled.

I turn the killer,
Over in my hands,
I turn the breaker,
The thriller.

I wrap my fingers,
Over the handle,
Open,
It lingers.

Fair skin,
No marks,
No scars,
This what would've been.

Press,
Glide,
Cut,
Regrets.

Drip drop,
Red,
Blood,
No stop.

Pain,
Mental,
Physical,
No gain.

Sharp breaths,
Gasps for air,
Bad thoughts,
Deaths.

Back to reality,
Realization,
Wounds now scars to come,
No morality.

The blade,
Not the killer,
The one who holds it
The killer betrayed.

Just one,
A single burning cut,
All this hurt,
What have I done?
A poem about cutting.

Horizontal lines
So beautiful
Those pretty marks
So wonderful
Tattooed forever
A constant reminder

I knew a girl who always looked on the bright side no matter what, always saw the glass half full.

She lived fearlessly, only afraid of dying is what she would say.

The girl became sad, she didnt talk to anyone anymore, she started thinking negatively, like the glass was half empty.

She is scared of many things now, but dying is not one.

She cannot see the glass half empty of half full, for her shaky hands have dropped the glass.

As the liquid floods her feet, she comes to the realization that this liquid was not water but blood, hers. She is no longer afraid, and she knows she is already dead.

"So what does depression feel like"*

It feels like trying to run through the sand after you have just climbed out of the ocean.

Like trying desperately to hang on to the merry-go-round spinning out of control.

Like struggling to keep your head above water in a wave pool.

Like trying to climb up a steep slide and slipping down just as you almost reach the top.

Like gasping for air after you've had the wind knocked out of you.

Like having a crush on life knowing life will never like you back.

Do you understand now?

I think about you
more often than I do not
I talk about you
more often than I do not
every night I cry about you
more often than I do not
emotional breakdowns
more often than I do not
I reminisce
more often than I do not
I cry for the hurt I feel
there's not an hour of the day where you do not pass my mind
I got a new phone today and the only pictures in it are ones of you and I
18 cuts for your age
12 for our anniversary day
24 for my favorite day we spent together
on good days I will only cut
6 for the months together
3 for the month of my favorite day
maybe just one for the unbearable month spent without you
there are so many more days I wished to spend with you
so many more feelings I wished to experience
too many more new favorite days to make; new memories
I yearn to hear your voice and your hugs and kisses and your body against mine
I yearn the smell of you skin and cologne and lips when they kiss my nose
I yearn the touch of your fingers as they glide across my bare skin, your hand as it holds mine, and your eyelashes giving me my daily butterfly kiss
I yearn the sight of your arms outstretched towards me, your deep brown eyes making contact with me and not dropping gaze
I yearn the taste of your tongue intertwined with mine, of your morning kisses, and the taste of the sweet words I love you falling from your mouth as if a waterfall spilling out your favorite smells
