Hello broken person, Are you empty just like me? Do you feel so much it hurts enough To bring you to your knees? Are you confused or frustrated Over why you can never be Someone who can find the time To unsee what we have seen? Hello broken person, I am empty, and just like you I have fought a thousand battles And somehow made my way through It hasn't gotten easier I dont think it ever will They say that time is healing, But only time can tell Hello broken person, Are you empty just like me? Have you had enough? Do you feel numb? Are you sure you can even breathe? Does it feel like exsanguination, But it's coming from your heart? Do you feel a void so big That its tearing you apart? Have you heard of an antidote, Some sort of remedy? Something that will help us out I'm tired of being empty

Hello Broken Person
She sneaks out at night She doesn’t blink She smiles The land mines She sets Here and there Wherever You let To be one And separate Together Apart Diminish the night With a few broken hearts

The other one
They think I'm recovered, that's what they said But there's still a constant battle inside my head It would be so much easier to stay in my bed And go a week without being fed And let my arms drip with red Or I could totally give up instead Would people really miss me if I was dead? Of course they would miss you, they really do care You might feel alone but you've got people there You need to stay positive when life is unfair Just think of that outfit you wanted to wear The summer breeze that goes through your hair The smell of flowers drifting through the air And watching the sunset through the trees over there

Hold on
I am a person of forgiveness and second chances I am not one of firm decisions and stances I am one who can be easily swayed So I become one that is easily played With an open mind and intentions pure Am I taken advantage of, I can never be sure And some are not so eager to flip a new page Some remain bitter and burning with rage I am not one, who can understand grudges How you can’t move on, when opportunity nudges But I live in sorrow, and I live in pain I radiate sunshine, but live in the rain I promote to be happy, but am subject to hurt I treat people well, when they treat me like dirt You would think it’s rewarding, to see people smile But when your world is grey, it’s old after a while I don’t do it for return nor do it for praise But just once I’d like, to stand in sun’s rays I’ve had moments when, I’ve felt sunshine’s beams But in the back of my mind, I know what it means A shadow is lurking and it’s one of tears The world turns around and puts me right back in fear With all life’s great moments being so bittersweet I am one that’s familiar, with constant defeat I am one with two faces, one happy, one sad Some think to themselves, that isn’t so bad But I am one with a heart, that tugs on both sides And although I am hurting, I roll with the tides And the waves pour over any chance of assistance Still I fight through each day, and I fight with persistence Though I never know, what each day brings I treat those around me like queens and like kings Life suffocates me with such crippling worry I do see a future, but mine is quite blurry I can’t see how I can possibly go on With the overwhelming feeling that something is wrong People say that they get it, and say that they care But I am one who’s alone when they say they’ll be there A counsellor for others, but still no one listens I am one who’s destiny, is not one that glistens I’ve searched for solutions, and I’ve searched for answers Although it doesn’t compare, there’s no cure, like a cancer I am one who longs for peace, in the world and my soul But I feel like one, with an unattainable goal War seems to be forever, it’s a damning belief It’s proven quite true with my internal grief I am one who is calling, crying out And I am one that is filled with doubt Doubting my chance, to ever be heard Doubting my chance, to get in a word I am one that hopes for a listening ear For you to cherish and hold me so dear Or at least that you’ll see that your actions are unfair That you’ll see your two faces, and you’ll be aware Of your resistance to change, despite what I need That you’re killing me with your selfishness and greed I know you’re broken, but I’m broken too I am one that needs fixing, and you are my glue.

Her skin is apprehension coated in ice Past snowfalls left her stagnate A frozen statue lit inside like a candle She melts slower than a clock ticks second to second Tedium Touch her and your bones left shivering Longing for the sweltering flames Hibernating inside of her No one can grasp how stunningly electric Her soul truly is Yellow louder than the sun Orange flames dancing But walk on your tiptoes with fireproof clothing She’ll melt you; a foreboding puddle Before you choke on the fire That lives inside her Smoke sighing through a cage of ice Yet she’s still cold While burning inside Isn’t that contradicting?

Fire and Ice
Cycling again The same old spell I've been under for years I start to become more positive Starts seeing the light of happiness Yet it comes crashing down again Over and over I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of spiraling out of control. I abuse and abuse Drugs, alcohol, and eating I start not to take care of myself again. Then it slows down I pick myself up just to fall within minutes, days and sometimes months. This cycle lasts longer each time. My habits become more vicious To the point where I don't know where I am Don't care if I die I just want to get higher and higher for this never-ending pain to go away. Simply why can't I stop this madness. I don't have dreams or goals anymore I wish for one thing every birthday or every shooting star I've ever seen. Just to wanting to be happy. Just one time, I would love to know what is life like without : overthinking being depressed Not being angry. Just a girl wanting to be normal.

Vicious cycles
She used to be human. She use to have fun. She used to be talkative She used to be alive. Her emotions run her life into the ground. Her fun turned into pain. Her voice doesn't have strength to talk. She's alive, but only her body is here.

Not human
lately I’ve been feeling like I live on another plane of existence. I have left my body and I’m watching over myself as I fail at being a functioning person. I take four hour naps every day and don’t wake up until noon and I’m left up at night screaming into the void that I exist because as much as I know that I am alive I don’t feel like I’m existing. or maybe I just don’t want to exist. maybe I’m tired of these day to day tribulations that come with being an adult, maybe I want to exist as a child forever when everything is bright and new and nothing hurts except bruised elbows and scraped knees. maybe I’m being nostalgic for a place that I don’t even know exists. maybe I lost my innocence too early to know what being a child feels like. maybe I lost myself too early to know what being a person feels like.

maybe i've been pretending so long i don't know how to be real
I am working on freedom But it's a work in progress As much as I try and convince myself I know I'm not ready. Not just yet. To take responsibility, For my safety and health, To pick up a fork and keep down its wealth. To prepare myself a meal To allow myself to heal. To put down a razor and use a different technique Maybe one day, But at present I am weak. To walk innocently Not compulsively. To tackle negative thoughts in a productive fashion One day will be the case When I have the compassion. To love myself like I do you, Will take a long time to do. To allow myself to make, An error, a mistake Without having to dance with my self defeating thoughts I'm not quite out of those courts. I am working on freedom But it's a work in progress. One day ill be ready. Just not yet.
