A piece of furniture, In the corner of the room. They walk past me every day, Like I’m invisible too. I scream inside my head, But it never makes a sound. I’m here, I’m breathing, But I’m nowhere to be found.

To Be Invisible
They sell us comfort, coin by coin, While truth lies quiet, unemployed. A system built on silent screams, Where dreams are bought, and sold as schemes. Investors grin behind the glass, As need and pain walk slowly past. The people bend, but rarely break— Not yet awake, but far from fake. We trade our power for a price, Forget that unity cuts twice. Divided, numb, we play their game— Each dollar tagged with someone’s name. But sparks can start from aching hearts, From minds that dare to question parts. And if we rise—not just for self, But human worth above the wealth— Then change won’t knock. It will arrive. We’ll see the world, not just survive. For when the many choose to see, No wall of gold can cage the free.

The cost of silence
As days go by I no longer feel fortunate When it comes to the idea of being alive I can no longer concentrate My life I can no longer render it It’s no longer me in my body I only hover over it But I am not deceased As the days go by My happiness is decreased It’s like my spirit is trapped In a sandglass With every spill And every drop She deteriorates Now my stomach has more pills But no one will know that All they have seen is an act I may chuckle I may be foolish But don’t be deceived I am not as merry as you think Therefore misery is all I have received Now since that has happened I am back in that place All I feel is darkness around me I can’t even get some space Maybe this is what god had designed   For me to suffer For me to deal with this agonizing pain Please god go back to when I was made and rewind I know me saying this People will think my head is not right And I agree I’m sorry my days, and my life isn’t as bright Life was a thief Taking my innocence and leaving me with no beliefs As my skin becomes foggy it’s a relief But no one cares Right? Little does anyone know Yet now they will I look in the mirror I can see them clearer The skin on my body is torn And the slashes on my skin is all that I wear Yes this is all that I bare Me telling my parents would bring their eyes to a storm All they know is That I like wearing flashy clothes What they don’t know And what they never will know Won’t hurt them The thing is My arms and legs are no longer divine All that are on them is lines My head is filled with these voices It’s obvious that In my life I have not made the best choices It is so frustrating Now I am sitting in my bath Which is like my vast My life is what I am contemplating My apologies I will stop complaining   Please know I am trying my best So give that half *** speech of why I should be here a rest

Living this conflicting life of regret and reality living this conflicting life of confrontations and morality, treading on this weak link of trust and animosity. Living in this fear that what if those memories ever return, or if I am even human enough to be breathing with them.

Just a Warning-
My blood I willingly spill onto the page It takes the form of words to engage A written expression of my life's insanity It exposes my darkest truths for all to see Unwilling to admit it's existence to myself Darkest of thoughts I place upon a shelf Behind my smile I've concealed this reality I fear the possibility of my broken mentality Would others not think this to be true If asked for help what would they do It goes unnoticed each time I reach out That someone cares I begin to doubt Hope I once held slowly fades away Deeper into this depression I fall each day Why does no one care enough to see The emptiness I've hidden is killing me Someone to talk with I have not found Paper now keeps me mentally sound With pen in hand I have learned to speak In poetry I have a voice that's unique ChillNPsyco

What I Hide
I reach out but no one hears     Within the silence are my worst fears Why do I look for reason in every day     I tell myself I no longer wish to stay The pain reminds me I'm still here     Always pushing away never pulling near All this time alone woundering why     To be a part of this life at times I try A room filled with many I'm still alone     A feeling not changed in an empty room at home This life perhaps never ment to be     For so many yes maybe not for me Whispers in the dark voices I can't see     Often they convince its time to fly free Light fills my eyes each day I wake     This life is not mine...                             Not mine to take!?                                                                                                 ChillNPsyco

A Question
I can’t sleep I don’t eat Correction. I won’t sleep I won’t eat I won’t do anything I hold fear in my eyes That you’ll appear You run through my mind, Conscious or not I can’t shake your words away Or the feeling Of your hands On. Me. You get in my head somehow Without even being around I don’t leave the house In fear of seeing you Other than what my mind already does On repeat. Never ending. Pain.

PTSD
Why worry about something that is not in our control? Why do we try to fit into some role? With endless love, fulfilled with flowers, You'll have way better inner powers. Not with good looks, but with heart's beauty, You can give back your given duty. Not with false words and deprivation, But with sharp focus and true dedication. Don't look up or down, but far ahead, The more you do - the more your love will spread. Not the platonic wild obsession - But calm and positive progression. Don't try to own one's feelings, cause aggression, Stop making someone your material possession. Do good, not harm, don't ask to give you back, Only give and you'll receive twice back.

Unconditional Love
Some days, I do nothing but remember to breathe; And some days, That is enough.

Binge
Everytime she held a knife , it's more real than anything else Everytime she wrote unsent secret letters,it's more real than anything Everytime she got high over her thoughts,it's more real than anything Everytime her eyes turn red without drugs,it's more real than anything Everytime she puts up her smile and laugh a lot over smallest of things just because she don't wanna show up her fears and demons that are haunting, scaring, threatening her to death,it's the real struggle

Depression
suicidal girl. she was broken, disturbed.. couldn’t handle what he’d done. never talked about it once, no not to anyone. she bottled it up, held it in a safe. so hard to unlock, no sign, not a trace. cut deeper wounds instead. blood all over the floors, blood dried up on her bed. 14 years old. scars, from head to toe. scars, nobody knows. can’t let anyone know. sweaters in the summer heat. can’t let anyone see. suicidal girl, how cruel the world can be.

I am the moon. I may not burn as bright as the sun- But I glimmer enough to shed light on the things that crave to be seen in utter darkness.

to be defined by an assault no person should ever endure. it is more than just physical violation, **** is an assault on your whole being. scars go deep & you don’t understand how to heal from it. saying no didn’t seem to have an effect. the word lost its definition, it is one syllable, a filler word. so now you feel like you no longer have a valuable voice. one worth listening to. you change, that person you were is gone your body is just a shell of who you use to be. you aren’t living, just simply alive.

I had a dream last night Vision of my life In a state of deep connection Yesterday,today,tomorrow as one. I had a dream last night A bright pure light Guiding my way .... Spreading the warmness of love. I had a dream last night Vision of my life Distorted faces getting pure With a slit of light touch. In my dream last night I was Discovering lucidity Connected with my inner self With the goddess of existence And the pure source of love. M.T. 2016.
