non

in french it means "no"

as a prefix
it negates everything after it

i live in a constant state
of feeling
"non"

my life is lead by non-interesting adventures
to non-exciting places
that make me feel more
non

in comparison to everyone
and even only to myself
i am
non-pretty

i smile my
non-white
smile

and nod my
non-even
head

i hang out
alone
with my
non-friends
who pretend
just like me
that we are not just
non

i am the prefix
non

name a nice adjective
and add a non

that is me

non-kind
non-nice
non-happy
non-beautiful
non-social
non-talkative
non-humble
non-talented
non-human
non-EVERYTHING

I AM TIRED OF BEING NON

I WANT TO BE SOMETHING

I WANT TO BE
PRETTY
AND NICE
AND KIND
AND TALKATIVE
AND SOCIABLE
AND GRATEFUL
AND HELPFUL
AND HAPPY

BUT ALL I AM

IS

non

Sixty Six . Run

I'm tired of dreaming,
I'm through with trying
Tired of living,
yet scared of dying
Maybe things are good for you,
but look at all that I've been through
Look at all the pain I've won,
I bet you think that it's been fun
You never thought I'd turn away,
you never believed you'd see this day
Look again, cause here I go,
leaving behind all that I know
Changing it all as I must do,
not daring to stop & think things through
Wanting to run as fast as I can,
not stopping until I understand
Like why did I let things get this way?
Why didn't I leave, like, yesterday?
How are things going to be,
when there is no more you & me?

Done

I just can't do this
This-living the unhappy life
Never knowing who you will be
When I get home
This roller coaster of emotions
Is tearing me apart
I know I made a promise a vow
But my God! So did you
And every thing I told you that hurt me
You did it and expected me to take
It
I'm just done.
Take your half *** promises
Take you words without action
Take your anger, your rage, your criticism,
Take you veiled insults, your arrogance,
And please please take the memories of us-
The happy ones from when we first started
Because those are the ones I can't keep

Happy

You were unhappy.
Did I make you happy?
You make me happy,
And you did.

Are you unhappy?
She makes you happy.
They make you happy,
But I don't.

I'm glad you're happy.
Did I make you happy?
You make me happy,
But you won't.

My mind

The mind is powerful
It can be an inventor
A doctor
An artist
The list is neverending
But my mind is different than most
It is the master of twisting happiness into sadness
Love into hate
Light to dark
Joy into pain
It enjoys watching me suffer
It thrives on my misery

10/13/16
They say misery loves company but I refuse to let those around me be ****** into my personal hell so in the meantime I will keep my mind company and condone it's misery

Depression's war tactic

You know its there
You feel it everyday
It holds you hostage from your own life
You try to defeat the control it has on you,
Managing to achieve it
You start to see the light,
Where darkness once reigned
An ending you are at peace with
But it only last a brief moment
Till it disappears
Depression never ends

9/23/16
Depression has mastered the art of camouflage
Hiding in plain sight
Ready to make its move

Not worth it

Putting you through this is not worth it
You already have to much to worry about
I'll just make things worse
You see what I want you to see
And that's what you want
But that's not the real me
You would never be able to handle the real me
My breakdowns
My constant isolation
My negativity
My sadness and tears at @2 am
The never ending pain
Trust me I'm saving you the time
I'm not worth it

10/24/16
A day at the beach is worth the tan
A piece of cake worth the calories
The sadness the controls my life not worth becoming your problem

When depression hits

When it hits me
It comes in stages
Everything will be fine
Then the thoughts flood my mind
They take over me
I start to get numb in the chest
I then lose focus
Only thinking of the thoughts it has brought
There is no way to avoid it
Pain
Trauma
Sadness
It fills my body till there is no actual life left

10/13/2016
An invisible tidal wave
That drowns me with thoughts

Before you

Before you, I was a mess on the verge of ending things
You only had one thing in mind like all the others
Hoping I can overcome my weakness
I gave you a chance
You helped for a while,
I thought I was finally normal with these feelings you brought me
But you only wanted what was best for yourself
Never thinking about me
I wish you never tried,
You left me in a bigger mess than I was before you

11/04/16
Leaving me alone would have kept me sane
But it's not like I had mattered to you

Swept Away

Hand in hand
We walked across
A bridge we built
On perfect flaws

Below our feet
Ran a river
Of broken hearts
And dreams that withered

Cringing at
This dreadful sight
I clung to you
And held on tight

I looked into
Once beaming eyes
Then suddenly
I realized

My heart was breaking
I was falling in
You had pushed me
To my end

And as I plunged
Into the blood
Of broken hearts
Tears, and mud

I grabbed your hand
And said not today
I will not be
Swept Away

I searched your eyes
And begged for love
But all I got
Was another shove

Drowning in the pain of others
The blood washed away
The scars I'd covered

Trying to keep
My fears at bay
I refuse to be
Swept Away

Holding onto empty lies
My tears became the rivers pride
It grew in strength and pulled me under
Out of hope, and way out numbered

Opened my eyes
For one last glance
Hoping for
Another chance

Reached one more time
But to my dismay
I'd finally been
Swept Away

I wrote this when I found myself in a toxic relationship that I knew was bad for me, but I loved him and didn't want to let go. But eventually, to my heart's never ceasing pain I found away to let go, and found myself to be swept away in emotions, agony, and a strange sort of relief.
