#depession
I twist and contort from the light Hiding my cracking porcelain skin If I step too hard an arm will fall to the earth and shatter. Turn to quick and my ribs will crumble inwards. So delicate I walk on glass  stick legs, careful my footprints don’t leave stains in the snow. I shudder upwards towards the moon but only reach my bedroom window, in I go, they’ll never know. I prop myself up on the wire stand that keeps me from collapsing and gently lower down the bell jar that keeps me safe. I pop a blue pill to sleep and pray I don’t wake up tomorrow.

I hide my truth
Went and got a tattoo just for the needle See myself out of body, I don't need her Spinning till morning Looking at old pics mourning I don't know why it's happening again I thought I was done being broken In and out like the breath from my lungs Fast heartbeat but not from the drugs Please, no Another low **** me slow

Another Low
I could hear her words, faintly.. like an echo through water. But I want drowning. When I was in the womb I swam in darkness.. Now all I see is white heavy clouds, depriving me of breath... The last thing I saw was my mother crying, as my father ran with me, then I saw blue.. And knew he'd never let me drown in her arms..

Smothered Love..
I’m not sad. I really mean it. I swear I’m fine as I am when the words I’m fine slip out of my lying mouth. I don’t know what you want me to say when I say I don’t feel. Do you want me to lie as I do when I say I don’t need help. Do you want me to say I’m happy, an emotion I haven’t felt in years. Or do you want me to tell the truth deep down honestly, I don’t feel anything. My emotions went away on a trip and I don’t know where they are. Serotonin took a U-turn out of my mind. Dopamine lost the fight. But I’m fine, I don’t need your help. I’m fine sitting alone on my white turned red bed surrounded by my failures.

Hard Times
I try not to worry her So much that sometimes I answer I’m fine before Hello when she calls because I know to her I’m still more bone than skin I’m an empty bottle of pills One breath away from non existence A blood stain she scrubbed with her tears I’ve already worried years off of her life while trying to end my own So when she phones to to check on me I’ll always be fine no matter what is going on in my life and sometimes before Hello

Before Hello
Hollow and empty within Scattered leaves, on crimson ground Horror waiting to begin Closed door, cracked and chipped Building from a ruin Beating, bleeding, ripped Screams shatter the silence Inside the mind, they rage outwards Dwelling and feasting on violence The evolution of agony Sinister but regal I reign Waves on contempt wash over me Who am I, you say I am the abyss And this is the only way

Abyss
If I die today don't say you'll miss me. I've been dead inside for years yet somehow you couldn't tell when you kissed me If I die tomorrow please don't cry All I've wanted for years was to be able to die.. physically To finally be free of my thoughts & my misery To be able to see once & for all if being here served a purpose Does god really exist? Or was living by all those rules simply worthless. When I'm gone please don't pretend you care Because when I was alive, you were never there All I ever wanted was to appreciated & understood But all you ever saw in me was the bad, not the good Now I'm gone & you wanna talk about how you loved me. Yet When I was alive you put everything above me. Basically what I'm saying is don't wait til its too late, because feeling so alone can lead to self hate. Self hate to self harm Self harm to killing myself When if you'd taken the time to ACTUALLY care, it could've done a world of help.

If I Die
I can tell I'm depressed When I don't take the laundry Out of the washer, Where it has been cleansed of its sins Of passion, or rage, of greasy fast food. My filthy hands would ruin them. So I wait for my roommate To baptize his own spotless hands With MY damp boxers. The habitual thuds of my soggy clothes Against the back of the dryer Are a nice distraction. My favorite flannel dances With her tiny lost sock. But 45 minutes isn't enough. I don't want to end their fun, So I leave them there And hope that they'll fuse forever. He tosses the clothes onto my floor, Scattering them, wrinkling them, freeing them. Corduroys atop henleys under crew socks and tees. Folding them would be a waste Of a catastrophic masterpiece.

Laundry
Moving with might Following potential refracting metaphorical light Becoming apart Of what gives people life Selfless balance Of give and receive If the roots are affected Then so are the leaves If roots are Not grounded, Not watered Not nurtured Some leaves unwholesome Some wilted Some lonesome Little do we know The leaf is wanting to let go Anticipating renown To return to the soil To avoid the turmoil Of what it is to grow " If "doesn't feel Anything is real Then it may keel To avoid the hearth Creep into the earth Be lead to ascension Strong In ground Trunk, Branches, Long to astound   Constant extension Leaves can regrow Even when low Growth can be slow Growth can be fast Leaves will come and go Your roots will last

simple yet effective
i am trapped in a cold, cold place. there is no way out. there is something special here. how the stars shine in different ways like they know something about me. the presence of another fills my mind. it watches me blink slow and steady. the ****** fingertips and rusty nails is all i can relate to now.

If eyes are the window to the soul, Yours are fake, My mistake.
