I want you to see me in the golden hour light

I think I would look pretty as the sun goes down

Pink and gold sunset is a good shade on me

I will wear your kisses just as well

As the sun and the moon are in the same sky together

We will be together

Warm bodies in a cold breeze

you want to see me stripped on the floor
a motor of a girl gasping for breath
crawling with her blistered knuckles
her wounds harsh and fresh
can’t you just breathe in deeply?
exhale, then inhale me
oh, for your sake baby
push it in then leave me diseased
you only see a body
you only see a body
you only see a body
you only see my body


—i wish so hard that you would just see me
about how people talk about my body and other people’s bodies. i feel like they only want me for something that isn’t on the inside. this is also for people who are only seen as objects and feel like they can only impress by wearing something or looking a certain way. see us for who we are. we are shooting stars, we are dying to be seen.

I beg of you:

1. Examine me with curious eyes.
Crave to sneak a look within,
to see where the treasures lie.

2. Caress me with gentle fingers --
hold me in such a way
that every touch lingers.

3. Open me, peer into my soul
and study each aspect with care.
Hold each one in the softest embrace
no matter the fright or scare.

4. And this, I ask with all my heart --
love me, treasure me, and all my parts.
For despite appearances, despite my walls,
I am not Pandora's Box.

Not my best work by any means. The meter changes every stanza and it doesn't flow together well at all. I had originally not intended for it to rhyme but I changed my mind at the last minute.

the tears that fall
that fall down my face
are viewed as weak
they are not weak

they show I have feelings
they show I do care
they are not weak like you think
they are strong

so what if I cry
so what if I let how I feel show
just ignore me like always
just act as if I weren't there

just pretend you don't see me
pretend I'm invisible
like I don't exist
I don't need you

what I need is a friend
someone who sees the tears
sees who I am
sees me for me

someone who views them as strong
someone who cares
someone to listen
I need these tears

Love me, hate me
Desire me, despise me
Hold me, leave me
But do not ignore me
See me, as I see you
Do not pass me by
as if I’m not there
Do not show me
you’re happy without me
Let me in,
tell me I belong
Do not shatter me
and crush my hopes
But reach out,
take my hand
and let me in.

I feel ****** to the
Eternal inferno of flame
The smoke burns my
Lungs
As I listen to the
Crackle of burning skin
The brimstone hearth
Holds the flames of
Those lost
The fire burns through
My flesh
As my eyes turn to flames
And yet the pain feels welcoming

Someone granted on me death
They reached out and stole my life
My only wish that they held my breath
But instead they used a knife

Don't need roses at my grave
Don't need sorrow, hurt, or pain
Stolen life, that i had gave
Stole my life, but what'd you gain
Daisy Castell Aug 2018
I can feel the chain
Wrapped tight to drag me down
I can feel the pain
A sensation that brings me to the ground

I can feel your eyes
Set upon me burning
I will not say goodbye
Even though I'm yearning

I feel very broken
Torn up beneath your cleets
I feel very broken
Like the ground Beneath Your Feet...
