#disordered
Ink soaked in despise and despair, thoughts bewildered and perplexed. Parched soul, a distinctive flair. Faint and feeble brightness, an outstanding dazzled affair. Stitched up hopes, with an astounding glare.

Just Mere Words
Violin in my ribs Guitar in my heart Drums in my mind Yet all out of sync Guess I need a perfect conductor But who will be brave enough To tame such a disordered body?

Curves melting away Numbers dropping An obsessive measurement of worth One food at a time Or Consider mixing it all together Counting bites Counting grains, kernels, seeds Counting times chewed 26 waist 32 hip 5 wrist 11 neck 7 forearm 30 ribcage 17.8 bmi 16.3 body fat 98 lbs Obsessively memorizing Remeasuring Plugging in numbers Worrying if you look sick Collar bones too defined Hip bones jutting out just too much Getting scared Binging Purging Feeling deliciously empty Thinking clearly Everything fuzzy at the edge It ain't a ******* joke

The meaning of chaos is a ”Disordered State” Topsy and Turvy and somewhat irate If your life is in chaos, it's by your own choice Why did you pick it, you do have a voice To be in that state takes its toll, I am sure To come out of your chaos, will take a detour Go ahead and try it, you may be suprised Life without chaos is what is advised Brian Hill - # 236

Chaos...!
it dimmed my light it made me lie it made me say things i would've never said it made me wish that i was dead summing up everything, i'm barely alive i'm nothing but a walking frame i never have anything left to say all my interests are consumed by keeping track of my intake keeping track of my weight keeping track for my sanity's sake but that's one more thing to keep me awake and i don't know how much more of it i can take

Am I going crazy? Perhaps one should define the term crazy, maybe it is these moods swings: always violent but never long. Or my hysterical crying in the early morning though I never remember what for. On the days it rains hardest in the black of midnight, I rise from slumber like the undead to stare blankly at the water-streaked pane and wonder "Why me?! Why was I blessed to hold a mind this heavy?." In the spirit of my family name I never talk about it, about the insane thoughts that run like school children in summer between my ears. My father once told me he would love to see a psychiatrist just to sort some things out but I have to wonder how much a man with a family history of hiding yourself behind intellect and avoidance tactics could mean it. My grandmother still doesn't call to tell us she's sick, just mentions it as an afterthought, a hey-I-forgot-to even as her husband slowly forgets everything he thought he knew. Maybe I was born with this shame in my blood, or maybe that is where this sickness came from, My ever present thoughts and their not so secret toll on my wellbeing. But since we don't talk about it I have to wonder: is this just me? Am I going crazy? Is this why all good poets write? Is this why they all **** themselves?

The demons are on replay today Circling through my mind. I’m trying to tell them they’re not telling the truth Yet somehow, it’s hard to find The words to say back to them As they batter me inside One glimpse at a mirror is all they need To crush my soul and pride. You’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re worthless As though my appearance is the epitome Of my future destiny As though it matters how I look. I try to be strong, to fight their throng, of never ending bashes, yet sometimes I am prone to crashes, where tears fall from my lashes and I feel as though I’ve been reduced to ashes. But I must fight, I must continue on. For an ending isn’t the solution. No matter how much I want to curl up in a ball And hide from all I can’t be small, I must stand tall. You’re not a burden, you’re a human, With so much more to you than looks and appearance. So fight the urge to restrict This is the real Laura’s edict.

we, all of us, all these kids who make lists and count, count doorknobs and bus stops and fenceposts and cars on the highway and scars and broken bones and illnesses we make lists and reasons and categorize categorize, organize, memorize we know, we KNOW how many steps it takes to get to the mailbox the bus stop the garage and the car we count the steps to putting on shoes 1. pick up shoe 2. open 3. pull on 4. tie we remember the things everyone tells us to stop worrying about like we don't KNOW that the weight of this big big world doesn't rest on us alone and that turning the lock three times doesn't lock it tighter that going right sock right shoe, left sock left shoe isn't gonna make things better in the long run we KNOW we know we've got everything categorized and memorized and then people have the audacity to say our mental states are disordered

disordered
I don't need to list the reasons, What I need is a reason not to. You've heard me talk like this before. And somehow my silence seems like a bandaid- Like maybe if I just don't talk about it Everything will get better. Maybe if enough time passes, It will all, eventually, heal. But that is ******** I don't need your permission, **** forgiveness.* My intentions have their own agenda But it's never hidden. Quite the opposite- I'm plain sight. Don't have to wait for night To let the darkness take me. I'm honest, open, And honestly I'd rather be sleeping In a closed casket; no one Wants to see my blown off brain bits And some teeth meshed with leftover tendonis threads Dangling from my severed neck. But those tooth shards are smiling- The bandaid has been ripped off The time has ran out, Sand in my mouth. Dirt where my eye sockets used to be. This isn't me, This whole "life" thing... I don't need to list the reasons. I never signed up for this **** Where do I check out.

Check Out
One day Those of us who found our way back Survived We'll look back on the days When we were lost And we'll wince at the realization Of the time we wasted Pushing away someone Who could have been our future And we will wince At the days consumed Trying to shrink Into the disordered skeleton children We became Flashing fake smiles And looking out at the world With vacant eyes clouded by despair

Wasted
Society is a clay mold Taking every newborn into its fold Kissing each brow with insecurity, shame Releasing it's victims, carbon-copies, all the same Society is a line graph's slope Plotting point ever upwards in hope Shunning those who are different, who fight Loving only those who are "normal", all outliers denied Society is a disease, nipping at the soul Filing and wearing down on the young and old Breaking every innocent into a pessimistic, jaded mess Rending, tearing, stomping, destroying whatever is left
