I smile*
As you yell in my face
I laugh
After you push me down
I skip
When you want me to lay down and cry
I love myself
Even though you've told me for year
no one would ever love me
I stare in the mirror
Despite you trying to make me hate how I look
I enjoy life
Regardless of the fact you pushed me to the
point were I was going to take it away from myself

I smile
Though all I've wanted to do some times is cry
I laugh
When I really just want to just
ball up and die
I skip
Even though I live with a monster's
voice in my head telling me I'm not good enough
I love myself
After all the years that it took me to get to
this point
I stare in the mirror
Even though I can still hear your voice
feel you hands
I enjoy life
Because I don't know when it'll all be over
and I want to enjoy it now that I've decided to have it
And I refuse to let my past,YOU
Take that from me
Because you've already taken so much

I was once an innocent girl
Until this one man came into my life
I fell in love with his charisma
And learned how to live a lie.
With piercing eyes and a charming smile
He introduced himself as loveable
Hard not to believe him
Even though I could sense trouble.
He taught me to deceive
And to live in the moment
When he put his hands on me
The rest of the world became my opponent.
Learning his ways were easy
There really wasn't much to it
Just think of it as temporary
Then forget that you went through it..
Half way believe your own lies
As you spit them out
By telling yourself it's possible,
Make it believable without doubt.
You must think of everything
Every question that may arise
Rehearse it all in your head
So you are never caught by surprise

today
i feel weak and small
today
small problems become big
my brain is so full
i can hardly speak
today*
i’m batteling my mind
fighting the pain
trying to survive
with teary eyes
and an aching heart

Off we go to the torture of our souls

We twist and turn at the thought of what awaits

The dumping of all this knowledge into our bowls

And the life you lived is now bundled into dates


The darkened nights of despair as you rack your brain for a reason

A reason for why you try so hard

You will not find out until the end of the your season

That all this pain is a good way of being scarred


You must navigate your way through this place

Find the people you love and hold tight 

Find a passion that you will chase

Only then will you be lead out of this misery, into the light

holding on too tight
too weak to hold on any longer
finger by finger
hope by slipping hope
there's nothing left to keep me up
slipping away
from your grasp and mine
nothing left behind
falling forever
i left nothing behind me
there was nothing to leave
a carcass dropping
floating down
the corpse is empty
she hasn't survived
so why ask?
ask if she's alright?
can you not see?
she never survived the push
she never survived the pain
she never survived the fall.

I feel like drowning in the sea
I don't feel like being found
But no matter how much I try to drown
I float

I see poets,
And read poems,
I can't understand,
Why I understood,
In words I wished to write,
Yet never once I truly wrote;
But darkness and brightness,
Are honestly meaningless,
Because I'm surviving,
And not living.
I don't understand.

Scars
     Reminders not of my suffering
     But of my survival

There is one thing I know for certain.
If you could not endure loneliness,
Then you wouldn't survive long in the real world.

Triumph over tragedy is not being dismembered by it.
But how to stop the bleeding?  That is the thing . . .
Wake up every morning and put one foot in front of the other.  Forward momentum is always helpful.
