when can I be happy
My bunny died today yet I did not cry I remember grampa's funeral Except when I cried They say I am "Strong" I say I am broken Because "Strong' Is wrong "Strong" means I was born like this I was not born I was molded I was sculpted My bunny died today I think I already died

My Bunny died today
Blood cracked lips Nervous habits One more drink Burning my throat Lost in limbo Reliving my past

My Past
Dear Little Girl Dear Little Girl The girl who is tired all the time You will grow up and become a great person The ups and downs will go but your friendships will stay Life will continue to be stressful but you will live your life to the fullest Dear Little Girl, Life will be eventful you will succeed. You will be made fun of but don't let that stop you from enjoying your life. The people will change and so will you Your life is going to be like a roller coaster Ups and downs will stay but you will change the way you see yourself Dear Little Girl, To the girl who is stuck in her head, you will learn to escape what your brain says. To the girl who is struggling with body image, you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are To the little girl who once looked to princesses and princes and said I want that type of love, you will get one, one day I promise you that. Dear Little Girl You will be okay

Little Girl
Why do I hate myself? Is it the way my laugh bursts too loud, Shaking the quiet around me, Or my nose, too large, too certain, Sitting at the center of my face Like it owns the room? I count every flaw as if they are prayers, Whispered endlessly into the void, Hoping someone, anyone, Will tell me it’s enough. But the mirror only echoes back The same questions, And I am left with my own voice, Sharp and unrelenting: Why do I hate myself? Everything about me?

I tear and rip at my lips, leaving them raw and bleeding Looking bloodied and messy No one wants to kiss a pair of lips that look like mine I yank and tug at my nails, leaving them short and bleeding Looking bloodied and messy No one wants to hold a pair of hands that look like mine I love and lose, a consistent cycle My brains bounces back, my heart taking the fall, cracking a little more with each loss, leaving it broken and bleeding Looking bloodied and messy No one wants to love a heart that looks like mine I pull and pick at all the seams throughout my body I unravel myself and sew it back together again I break and fix, a consistent cycle But I take the toll, displayed by the scares throughout my body, leaving me broken and bleeding Looking bloodied and messy No one wants to love a person who looks like me

Nervous habits
When I'm sad, pain trickles down my chest, from my heart, to my sleeve and paints it all red.

A simple sadness
The classroom was filled with laughter and joy, And dancing young teens All i could feel though was jealousy and hatred I hate them for being so happy when my world is so dark I hate them for being able to socialize and make friends I hate them for being gorgeous and tall and skinny I hate them for everything that i'm not It makes me mad knowing its not there wronging it's the universe

Jealousy
He was kind and sweet He made the promises That girls like me admired I was naive and innocent Was neglected from those in my life Desperate for attention and praise I believed and trusted him Days went by and he changed He started to manipulate me Promises of fulfillness broken Made me feel worthless And like i had no worth Soon i looked in the mirror And only saw what he saw in me I looked in the mirror and did not recognize who i was anymore

deception of youth
Loving you was my self harm, your words like a blade upon my skin, making marks on my memories, and tearing me apart by each cut. So I became addicted to the high but now with you gone, I recreate the memories on my wrist- but its not the same self-inflicted. And I lied that day, I said I did not love you, but loving you was killing me and losing you is my recovery.

My bad little habit
When I'm down the sun never seeks the sky. Just a dullness that hovers  beyond the grasp               of my need to rise above my pain... I only needed that ray to hit upon my                                  sighs...                          I need to not hurt like before, I cant keep this smile aloft.. It's falling like a shooting star,    bruised when it hit the ground              never again found.    I'm dwindling like the stars caught                  between the dawn and nightfall. But never             a light flickering before its radiance is just an echo like me.. You'll find me, that star that fell,         but never wished upon. Just cold never seen, here but missed,    as I fell from a moment of height   to a place where I'm low and alone.

Shooting Star Never Wished Upon
I tell her: My little girl, These days are intense And alone. And I know when you Open that gate, You do not recognise your home. My little girl, I know your mind is dark, I know there are traces of a plague Infecting your heart, I know you want a fresh new start- But put down the knife And let wounds mend And pains blend, And see this life To its natural end.

Why am I like this? It shouldn't be this way Am I really alone Or is it my brain just forcing me back Back in time To the dark To this inescapable prison Where have I gone Where are you Whoever you are I can't do this myself I just keep falling No one realizes I'm slowly failing life The longer I go the more I fail Slowly crumbling with every step Failure is second nature now It hurts but I can't get around it I can't stop it now I'm gone Doomed to this world of darkness Of failure Will my brain ever let me go Or do I need someone?

Trapped In Failure By: Sunset

E.V.E
Morning, day and night, hopelessly I wonder, Knowing nothing better? Facing other fears? I saw red and I saw silver. when has blunt steel been useful? like a wave of light, there is nothing there is silence. then the guilt draws in, tiptoeing silently, was it worth it? what had I done? there are no riddles no games that was me or was it me

Morning, Day or Night
Never let a pebble        Become a boulder. For troubles should never      Accumulate to the point           Where you are lighter Than the weight of your woes.

The weight of woes
Will I feel this weight on my heart forevor? Cause it eats me alive everyday. I physically feel it pushing down on my heart and sinking it down to my stomach. Will it ever be as light as feather? Cause sometimes i get butterflies in my stomach. I feel them flapping their wings and raising my heart back into place. I feel so happy it brings a smirk to my face. But it never quite gets there. No matter how light it may feel, the weight is always there. Its everywhere.

The Weight
I see it sometimes in a dream at night in a dream at day I see how good it could be could've been. its happy I'm not sure what happy is, but what else could it be? I see it in my dreams pure happiness, held tightly in my grasp. it's so alluring so captivating but why when it's at its best must I always always ruin it end it in tears not just destroy it but make it a nightmare i think to myself, why do I always have nightmares and not dreams? but is it so? or do I turn my dreams into nightmares always

Nightmares
I met her eyes they showed a series of lies what she hides is behind her smile never to show never to see until only her can be set free She is drowning but there is no water People asked her how shes been she said "I'm healing sins"   She carries the chains around her neck Tangled and mess a reminder she is a wreck The rivers are the agents of the sea thoughts flow like the river sent into words hard to express but easily felt Her screams of silence never heard what is dear to her its nothing no more Only desire is to be set free

Set Free
They ask me who I want to be I ask them what is wrong with me? They say to be like others are You can't become a faulty star There's no way that you'll get that far Be a doctor, be a nurse Be a dentist, drive a hearse A poet? please, you can't do worse You can't make money just with verse They ask me how I sympathize With tear-stained faces, bloodshot eyes Those who struggle with goodbyes And quiet ones who analyze Or far too much, apologize They ask me how I am so wise I say that I just talk to them Find the lovely, hidden gem But first, I say, I don't condemn You are you and I am me That is all we have to be If we strive to be much more We fight our own internal war Don't be something for another's sake Learn to dream when you're awake Remember you're your own snowflake They ask me What makes you happy? I answer short of patience And just a little snappy I say that sometimes nothing can Like leaping out of fire Just to land in the pan I feel just as permanent As lines in the sand Hurting on the inside I just don't understand And other times I feel fine As if the sun remembered How to shine It's like depression just forgot How to poison every thought Or pull my fragile heartstrings taut And shatter every dream I sought But I don't say this all out loud In front of one big jeering crowd Or with friends or all alone Or even when I'm safe at home I look into their eyes and say Don't worry, friend, I'll be okay

IDK, A lot of feelings I guess?
Afraid and Anxious of Being something I'm not Conscious about everything Dying to be Everything I want but wheres the Fun in that. Go out and Have fun. Its strange how I changed. Jeers where the sound track of my life. Knowing that many have been cheering Lamenting of the days I should have fought. Mountains where not made to Nor overcome. That what I thought I have this OBSESSION of Painting my way by asking allot of Questions that I shouldn't have ask. Race that I shouldn't have joined cause I'm Sedentary. I'm afraid to move. Timid and Nervous. Fear is Ubiquitous for everyone, but its Victory over me is for sure. but Wait its not the end because I'm the stranger of Xenization, forever travelling alone Yearning to be with somebody. This is the end and the start Zero, yes I started with an A&Z is the end cause I always feel                    WORTHLESS.
