i feel anxious

not sometimes,
not constantly.
well i'm not too sure.
maybe..

i feel like i'm constantly being dragged in every direction,
the stars are plucking at my hair like strings.
and my mind- it seems to wander,
goes anywhere else but where i need it to be.

i will never understand why my feet forget how to walk sometimes,
no they're not judging the way you walk-
well, now, maybe.
i'm not breathing that loudly- stop it you know how to breathe,
now you can't catch your breath.

i will never understand why my eyes flicker to find people who i assume are looking or thinking about me.
no one cares.

so why do i?

Why is it you choose to only yell at me
How come when Something goes wrong Im the only one your blind eyes can see
I mean ya it was me but only to a certain degree
You talk to them
but to me u act beastly
You say I can talk freely
But then stop me in my tracks saying u disagree
You throw my will around like a frisbee
And when I react you say "woah calm down love take a knee"
You love to preach how I can be "anything I wanna be"
Yet when I tell you
you act as if your the referee
Calling me back to reality
You cook me on the stove like I'm a panini
And yes that maybe have been a hyperbole
But It's like I'm trying to live my life without a short coming
And your killing me slowly
ur like a H.I.V
In fact it feels like I'm throwing a party
But you don't like it so ur knocking on my door like ur the l.a.p.d
I'm Tryna rid u of my life a.s.ap
But I mean hey ur my parents and I'm and only fifteen

Broke, hungry, and a dry tongue.
Who knew life would attack you this young?

Ripped sweater and freezing cold.
You can't grab a blanket cause it had to be sold.

For water and food.
Tired and sad is your only mood.

Why can't the world be a bit more kinder?
She could be in a cardboard box and no one would mind her.

Holding a little hand with nothing to say.
Because of the cruel world, they may take that little hand away.

Our world is ******, and the system is broken.
But who cares as long as the rich get a gold token.

Who cares, it's only a few.
who cares as long as it's not you .

I don't want to kick the hornets nest
But I am felling quit depressed
And begaining to get awful distressed
There is things I need to express
Because my chest is really compressed
I know it's from all the stress
It will be hard for you to digest
But I have to get this off my chest
This problem must be addressed
I think it is for the best
That all of it is confessed
I know after I tell you, me you'll detest
But maybe that's for the best

Oooh never mind
I'll just keep these hornets in their hive
And stay in the shadows and hide
Getting to you is like jumping milestones
It's lethal to leap
But hurts to be alone.
I do not authorize the duplication(s) of my writings, photography, or personal information. -K.W.

It's saddening, right?
I'm afraid to be alone.
I don't know how to be.
But when I am surrounded.
I tend to grab my bags and flee.
I'm so tired.. of this war,
Inside of my distressed mind.
Don't tell me to love,
Then have me run.
I want a forever.
Despite the pain that I caused.
It makes me feel selfish.
I was wrong.

one minute you are normal
the next minute who are you?
i feel trapped
blood mixed with water
tear by tear
it is known now
who shall be the one
for it can’t be me
it has always been you

you tighten your hold
have you forgotten?
the memories
the smiles
the laughter
it is unknown to us now
who are we?
we will not be the same
strangers or friends
enemies or allies
i will stand up
but i can’t
weak and pathetic
i have to leave
but i can’t
lonely and lost
i should go
but i can’t
i want to leave
but *i can’t

I’m so madly in love with you

I just want you to love me too

You say you do

Just please,

Render it true.

I can’t survive without you

When we fight I turn so blue

You don’t understand

No, you never do

Just the word

“Bye”

Makes me cry for hours over you

I know these are just words

Simply written in text

If you could just see the hurt and the tears

Running down my neck

The make-up smeared

In lines down my face

You’ll never hear my cries

You’re hundreds of miles away

You’re my knight in shining armor

Though you don’t believe this case

I care way too much

I cling to you

So there’s no space

No space between us

So we’re face-to-face

If only this were true

It’s just a matter of days

Until I take my life

With this pile of blades

I’m coming home my darling

Just please understand

I love you way too much

I can’t withstand

These days without you

Holding my hand

I’m coming home my love

This I have planned

I’m coming to see you

Just promise,

you’ll hold my hand.

I hate all this fighting

Because we’re apart

I’m coming home,

I’m coming home.

Together,

we can mend our hearts.

I’m sorry

For the days we fight

Just the thought of you leaving

Makes me cry in the night

My passion for you

Could never be for another

I will love you

Like no other

So even though

We have our ups and downs

We’ll work things out

And get around

The pain in our hearts

Don’t make a sound

Just think of me in the night,

then lie on the ground.

Look at the moon

And stare at the stars

Think of me

and know

That I’m not too far

I’ll love you forever

Just don’t forget me

Because even now

I’m still in need

Of your care and your touch

I forget

And I can’t see

If there’s any good left in me

Just don’t let go

If you still care

Cause my skin is thin

And I’m so scared

I don’t want to lose you

But I hate the air

I don’t deserve to live

And I can’t be there

I can’t be there and stay by your side

Even though I fantasize

About one day

Being your bride.

And even though you don’t want me

I just wish that you could see

What you really do to me

I try so hard to be happy

Because you said that you were

Proud of me

Proud of me for staying clean

When all I see is filth in me

And even as I hold these blades,

I think of you

and I feel ashamed.

You keep me strong

While I’m going insane

I really wish you felt this way

And I pour my heart out

day after day,

Hoping soon you’ll see the pain

Believing the tears rolling down my face

Knowing I love you

And that my heart breaks

Every moment that you’re away

I write these words

No matter what you say

I’ll love you the same

Either way

Even if

And when

You push me away

I’ll say,

“Okay.”

Cause I love you

And if that’s what will make you happy

Then okay.

I’ll still keep loving you

day after day.

And I just hope

you’ll feel the same

Just love the girl

That drove you away.

She didn't mean it.

She’s insane.
If you don't love me, I'll find someone else who does.
