It closes as fast as it opened, No one goes inside, No one sees what's inside, I fantasize about what is hiding from me in there, Why they all go in there without me and leave me waiting outside, Picking at dandelions. I feel as if I’m the only one that isn't allowed to go in there, Since the beginning they said, “No, don’t go in there.” Then all of them go in, And I sit for hours outside waiting, Thinking it must be special to be in there, Not outside waiting in the pouring rain. I make up stories in my head, About me and my friends going on adventures, And pick at the dandelions in front of me; They stain my little hands yellow. Time passes by and they come back outside and all walk home, They walk past me and ignore me, I act as if they didn't do it, As if I just imagined that too. I get home and Mom asks me how my day was with them, I say it was amazing and smile. The next day I walk with them to the door and they all walk inside, They slam the door before I can walk in, Saying I wouldn't understand it anyway, That when I'm old enough I’ll also be allowed to go inside. I wait for that day, The day I can see what’s behind that door that I fantasize over. I walk over to my spot and sink down, Into the patch of dirt I’ve worn into the grass, Continuing where I left off yesterday.

Where you stand now, can be moved. It's either you or the ground. Is it light you seek or darkness? If you remain immovable Like that thing in the street, Tripping, your face will meet The ground, hard. Lay ****** and bruised, Defiant as the cement That slapped your face. It gets dark real fast When all you hear is the mold That lays you to rest. Be alert and aware like A library door. Possibly your unnoticed Life is awakened by Words that wrap you with History and comfort as if Every minute is the opening From a wrapper of your Favourite candy. Live In the trace of light Where you stand.

Where You Stand
That is what it is like when somebody loves you more than you love yourself. You find you're loving them, and in loving you trust, both them and their judgment. *If he loves me for me, and I love and trust him, then I should love myself just the way that I am.* and *I want to be the one he is deserving of, and I want to become the best version of me.* and *It's not just for his sake that I want to improve. I'll grow and change for him, but also for myself.* That is what it is like.

I wake up to a morning where, Splendour sketches an idyllic scene, Snowy clouds shroud the dazzling sun, Swallows soar high, gliding, Through these vehement winds, Rustling leaves sing an ode to this peace, Grey, white, blue, blur into one, A myriad of colours found beautiful by none, All Acts and Roles- forgotten, And the Play- lost, Trapped in this second, Enchanted by no magic, Every passing moment envies the next, Solitude settles in the air, Loneliness bids me goodbye, Rationale screams for realization, But soul guides me to tranquility, Life seeps back into me; I'm awake. I find joy. I find myself.

Dear {Deadname}, It's been a while, I'm sorry. I don't know if you want me to write to you, or if you want me to just talk. Maybe you don't even want that, I don't know. Maybe you just want me to show you how much I love you physically. (I don't mind any of that.) It's okay. Take your time to figure it out. Love's a weird thing. So is writing to you. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's different now you're mine. The world changed, in a good way, but even good changes are different. I know that I want to love you. I just don't quite now how to love you yet, but I'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. Maybe it's kissing you every day, maybe it's writing a letter every night. Maybe it's both, or none at all. Love is not 'a thing.' It's different every single time. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. You have needs, things you want. So do I. I don't think I know you that well, and that's alright. (I hope...) I wanna get to know you. In every way. I don't know how. I don't know what the meaning of this letter is, but maybe that's the meaning. Forever yours Sincerely, Me

Dear [Deadname], (6)
You say you'll kiss me, You say you'll dare. But when I can finally touch you, You don't wanna be there

Six feet under, Down the drain. Lie my feelings, Is my luck. Six feet under, Under this dirt. Is my hapiness, Is my love. Six feet under, Or hidden anywhere. Depression is here, Right inside me. Six feet under, Where we live. I try to Cover this sadness. Six feet under. I try to hide, Alcohol, Drugs, Cigarettes. I'm slowly suffocating.

for myself #6
Everything I see, Turns into ideas. Poems, paintings, Music, art. My life is full, Unfinished. Drafts everywhere. Surrounded by Undone paintings. I Sometimes Have to, Clean it all up. Delete, Erase, Rip apart. So you can go now. I don't need you, You're a Worthless idea. It's all Worthless Anyway < >

Note 6: Draft
_If you're looking for a reason not to **** yourself tonight, this can be it._ Sometimes, we feel as if nothing matters. We all do. So i made a list of a few of my own reasons, 13 Reasons Why I'm still alive. And hopefully you'll change your mind. Those moments you feel happy, and nothing but lucky. And you wish nothing will ever change. I will try my best. _Reason 6, Lillie_ I might've mentioned it once or twice, this name, person, mind. This is probably one you can't relate to much. But maybe I can make you feel as if it does. I once heard this beautiful voice, that said my name. Well, it wasn't even my actual name. Just a nickname. You said: "Lillie, what you you think?" While you showed me one of your drawings. I was in love within a second. That beautiful voice, that one word never left my mind since. I wish it did though. It's killing me, Like i'm slowly suffocating. Lily's are pretty flowers. But are the dead ones too? Or can't you see that the flowers are turning into dust? Can't you see i'm struggling staying alive just like the flowers? Can't you see you never call me lillie anymore? Can't you see where i'm going? I'm turning into dust. You're the reason, I'm doing this to myself. So are you the reason, I'm saving myself.
