I won't hurt you
like I do
with myself
it's okay
I'll give you hope to stay
it's okay
I bundle all my kindness
and my dad's jokes
so you won't choke?
its okay
I will wipe all my tears
to make you believe
I have no fears
its okay
I won't hurt you
it's okay

Someone once told me,
"You’re shining. Even if it doesn’t always feel that way."
I in fact, have been feeling that way.

I sit and think about all the pain and problems I've gone through.
Thinking before, "I'm so done. What am I gonna do.??"
I now say to myself "I am so strong for keeping up and fighting my hardest. "

"I'm
so
proud
of
you."
To that person, you know who you are. Thank you for your kind and meaningful words. They have helped me more than you know.
To isolate is to be angry, alone,
But to be angry is too close to violence,
So why not be alone?

Alone is scary,
Alone is losing yourself,
Alone is impossible, but the feeling still there.

Alone and depression are interlinked,
A big word often misused as a funny joke,
That hurts me.
That a state so serious and personal is made into something so unserious.

Depression is a problem that feels impossible to fix,
you know its there,
It pops up from time to time, more often than not.
It eats away at your brain.
Feeding.

You don't know how to fix it,
or if you even can.
The help you need seems obsolete.
It seems impossible to actually follow through.

As in a state of loneliness it is easy to lose yourself.
That's what I found myself doing,
Losing myself.

I've been gone six months now.
I'm still lost.
I'm still looking.

But that feeling keeps on coming back.
More often now,
It's eating away at all of me.
I feel as though it will soon be finished.

But the monster is still there,
Looming, waiting for the next time to strike.

And I will be left,

All alone

This ink, it runs.
This paper is stained
Tears run free as
I'm stuck in a daze.
I put this pen to paper,
To write the words
This voice can't deliver.
My heart is heavy
With pain and despair.
Can't breathe.
I'm fighting for air.
My mind is spinning
At the speed of light.
This pain in my life
Has clouded my mind.
The thoughts are deafening
Of my life you took away,
But after all my
Heartache,
Someday I'll be okay!
you can lose everything in a blink of an eye, and be lost trying to find the answers to why.

You figure you're 18, okay
You wanna go outside, alright
First, stumble into a fight
Thinking you'll be okay and alright
Then they say it's all in your brain
But I didn't buy a ticket for this train


Before you know it,
It feels like the world is falling apart
I guess I'll have to take it all to heart
Now you failed me again
What am I doing up at 3 am?


Now I have been counting the stars
Hoping one leads to an answer that I want to hear.
I want to stop being dug into a grave.
While walking the earth knowing I'm not the devil's slave.


Before you know it
You are put on a million pills
Knowing you didn't want to work at the mills
Now you failed me again
What am I doing up at 3 am?


I have never seen a 17-year-old in my office before
Those words are not for the faint of heart
Yet those words tore me apart
As I stand as a mystery
I can't even think of my history


Before you know it
You are crying on your bed
Praying it is not in your head
Now you failed me again
What am I doing up at 3 am?


Doesn't your sunburn hurt? It looks bad
My tolerance is a lot higher than it used to
Like it just came out of the blue.
It doesn't feel right anymore
Like I might be an underscore.

Before you know it
You don't feel right
Why does the world seem so bright
Now you failed me again
What am I doing up at 3 am?
I'm dealing with a ton of health issues. I am always full of emotions because everyone is clueless. This poem is inspired by everything I'm dealing with and shares the mental part of physical issues.
When the dusky husky twilight descends,
I think of who I am.

Each night my opinion changes,

Sometimes I'm a shiny white suit,
Elegance.

Often though,
I'm a lumpy sack of coal,
A big burden,
Such a terrible person/thing.

But I think for now I've decided,
I'm okay.
Nothing special,
A warm summer day,
Something normal,
You treasure anyways.
If I need an excuse to talk to,
It's that I love you,
Miss you,

Crave you.

You understand me,
I understand you,

We're open, even when we're closed.

It's the feeling of being with you,
The rush of each kiss,
Each time I hold you,

You hug my arm,

This is what it means to be loved,
To be close to someone,

I think I'll be okay.

I Miss when we were friends
When we would sit and laugh
I didn't savor those moments
And so they left in a flash

We used to be so close
i shared with you my heart
And I know this is normal,
Growing apart.

Summer went to fall
And fall ended too fast
The frost and snow fell
Because nothing good lasts

But the flowers thaw through
And new things start
So I think I'm okay
with us growing apart.

Brave Hero,
You wish to save the world?
With your aspirations, you can run for miles
With your dreams, you can burn through metal.
With your hopes, you can destroy even mountains.

But, Brave Hero!
You must learn your lesson!
Running is only avoidance.
Burning is only rage.
Destroying is only vengeance

Oh, Brave Hero!
You must know these three truths!
Know them in your body.
Know them in your mind.
Know them even in your soul.

Brave Hero,
It's okay if you only save one person.
It’s okay if that person is you.
It’s okay.
A little boy plays by the river,
Slips on wet rock by the stream,
He scrapes his knee.

He cries from the pain,
But his buddies laugh it away.
And he becomes a man,
Because grow men don't cry, right?
An old piece but a good lesson. It's okay to let your tears go.
