It burns
I can't help but laugh at my own tears
                Anticipating you and what you keep in your jeans.
It's silly...... CRAZY even!
               That I could sit rubbing myself against the edge of the bed
While you are....
Where? Where are you?
                             Clearly not here
Not close enough
Not hard enough
               I can't sleep I can't eat I can only watch you and weep
I'm sorry, come back
I wasn't going to bite...
               But I could if you wanted me to....
I'm hysterical my love,
                             I can go all night

fits clutched against the bed sheets
pulling in strides as I come
holding on to that moment of ultimate control

"when did I lose my mind?" she asks no one in particular.
"was it morning? were the birds singing?"
" I don't know my love. It is hard to say" I respond.
She sighs, "I only hope that it was beautiful. That the sun was shining. "

Man becomes woman woman becomes man
headline dictation that makes you understand
but what's this? The scene goes beyond extremes,
the black/white photograph is of color underneath.
But **** me, I'm being erratic. I'm standing on tables
shouting so your disdain's automatic. What's up with
this new fad? Uhmurika never had it this bad. We have
a literal metric ton of whining millennials wanting to be
special snowflakes. Man, who could take all of this social
pressure? Being held accountable for a miserable, literal lack
of knowledge about the world around us? Man, definitely not
for me. But seriously, bro, did you get your **** cut off? What's
up bro, **** you get your **** sewn on? That ******* ***** lacks
a ******. That motha ***** lacks the design that gives him a similar
package when his blood pressure rises. Don't talk to me about feelings
before you've had the operation -- because before you've done that step
it's better if you don't implore my empathy or patience because you're
just not real, I won't feel the weight of your complaints and frustrations.
Matter of fact, for you, ess jay dub, my emotional core's on vacation.

Leave me alone with your dialogue.
Discourse is not for me.
Leave me alone with your dialogue.
How do you prefer to ***?

Is it this hard to admit to your audience there's something else outside
yourself? I can see how defining the lines with alacrity makes it easier
to breathe the air you breathe to stay alive. It must be nice to stand tall
and be you and not have to bray declarations of self to stay confident
and true to the compass. Walking is all it ever takes you yet when I say,
"Actually [...]" it's enough to make you think it's me getting in your face
with another liberal lecture, but I'm just keeping real straightforward
about which terms I prefer in our vernacular. Shut up, you **** up, we
advocate for your finish, only requiring you fit into our premise.

Leave me alone with your dialogue.
Discourse is just not for me.
Leave me alone with your dialogue.
How do you prefer to ***?

I just think it's best to have some canned material
in case you need it.

my lids are heavy
held down by pain and dried blood
I can feel the ground
my fingers wet
the smell of a public toilet
it's dark
I feel like I've just lost my mind

Two days later I'm pressed against hot benches
light blaring down on my
now red
bare chest
I know I can't move
"Sit Down!"
if I stretch my legs
just for a second
I could be in here the entire day

Five years later
sewing in thick gloves that don't fit my once feminine hands
I can see past the windows that can't open
men walking in the grass
gray clothes
gray hair
walking together as if they were chained
or had been
for far too long

One year later
the walls laugh at me
their pathetic attempts at a
"***** feel"
I see my friend in the corner of the room
I'd missed her
I start walking towards her
and notice her chin caked in spit
and her eyes glazed over
with emptiness

will I ever be free
will I ever convince them
will I ever run again

*will he ever find me
Clara Cartwright, 1929-1931
There is sometime
in a year
when I think that

Love is a hysteria.
Raven Le Fey Jul 2015
It
in the back seat of a car
the headphones in the higher volume, the sound spreads
in the back seat of a car
with it's secrets veiled by it's mouth

only when it's useful
it is had with attention
but in indifference times
disappears in the darkness

passing the crossroad
a master and it's disciples
the mists surrounds it
and make it invisible

the bell rings
the sparrow sings
the cigarette burns
the blade cuts

with it's friends
it walks
but the loneliness
surrounds it

into the night
a cry of pleasure fills it
a nervous laugh
followed by the kiss of love

a punch that makes it bleed
the Patriot gives it
it's clothes in the street
and freedom around the corner

the wind whisper
the owl sings
the candles on
the moon shines

in the woods appears
smiling, hysterical, naked
dancing in endless spirals
with it's invisible beings around

in a black and white world, ruled
a being with colored eyes
breaking boundaries and walls
the arcana 0 incorporates

in the back seat of a car
the headphones in the higher volume, the sound spreads
imagining the perfect perfection
in a place of pain and prejudice

the pen between it's fingers dance
a silent music
the poem of it's pale owner
the paper reveals secretly

So carve my name into your chest
and send me pictures, dear.

Write me letters in the red
and bottle all the tears.

Call me an angel.
Tell them I'm lying.
Scream it 'til your words make sense.

Fill your lungs with hatred
and spew out penitence.

Because you know with all your silent flames
and pledged ambivalence,
You know with all the months and years
of burning my pictures as incense.
You know that I'm your demons.
The burden that you bear.
I drove you to hysteria,
you say I brought you there.

So discard your kilogram of flesh
to punish me, my dear.
Leave it at my doorstep,
sweet nostalgia for my tears.

Tell me I tore you apart.
Whisper that I ripped out your reason.
And I will say I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
I will say this.

But you never voiced your anguish,
your complete disappointment in me.
How was I to know that it was I
who drove you to insanity?
If you hated me so much, maybe you should've said something, rather than letting me 'ruin your life.'

What they don't tell you, is that you don't need to be depressed to want to end your life.
You don't need to think that your life is over.  
You don't need to think that everyone hates you.
You just need to have a crippling fear and anxiety over everything you have and haven't done in the next few and last few days.
It sounds like simple stress.
But what they don't tell you, is that sleepless nights and days without meals and unrealistic expectations add on you, and pile on you, until you're breaking from hysteria.
Hysteria is all you need to **** yourself, although they don't tell you that.
Just absolute conviction that you just want to go to sleep and never wake up.
It doesn't matter how happy you are, it doesn't matter how many good things are going in your life, it doesn't matter how selfish you're being.
All it takes is the inability to drag yourself out of bed to face another disappointing day.
All it takes is a little bit of meaningless sadness.
All it takes is hysteria, weeping, and conviction that you don't want to see another day.
You may not ever act on suicide, but that doesn't mean that a part of yourself hasn't died....but they won't tell you that.
They will never tell You that.
Iris Nyx Feb 2015
I lied
In all of my time
In every painful moment
I cried wolf inside my mind

I swore that the pain was
unbearable
I was sure that I had felt it all
and me being me

So utterly selfish
So undeniably vain
So wrapped up in myself
I was positive

That I had felt it all

I never thought I would feel
What I felt
On that hazy night
When you told me that

My pain
was shared
and oh god
Oh god

If I spent various nights
With hot tears and nauseating guilt
If I spent days wondering if my mother
would still love me

If I wasting years of my life
brooding
over something that I had every right to mourn about
oh dear

That means
That you did too
And how on this forsaken planet

How
how could any god let you
******* YOU

feel the pain
That only terrible people like
I
Should feel?

If that's the God
That eveyone worships
I want
no part

Like maggots to the host
Like rats to the under
He is foul

He wants to hurt you , Though doesn't deserve to
And the further you get is the closer you feel
His head is a mess , it's going to explode

His eyes are blind
His hands are tied
Driven by the will to eradicate , annihilate

He is the cause of man's dissolving evolution
He buys his " happiness "
With the deceased , it's all he has left

He says that it's the last time over and over again
Though the addiction to continue is salient
Twenty-four-carat will to ****
" He " - Designed to stand for insanity
