#harming
I wounded myself With what cuts you To see if you would notice, that You're not alone. To see the world through your view, that I might better understand you, I lost myself To see how to make it Back onto the path. What I saw; No person was too far gone That made love their epitaph.

Gouge Away
is it right to follow the law if it is not right? is it just to dole out justice with a lady liberty lacking sight? when so many are the disenfranchised and the majority of wallets, tight is a moratorium ending harming or mending? where is the break in our dark someone illuminate rational light for the contrast is stark between those who laze and those who fight

Geopolitical Blues
eating is torture eating is a total nightmare I’m torn between needing the food because I’m starving and being horrified of the food coming inside of my body and making me feel full The feeling of the food inside of my stomach is absolutely terrifying I’m the puppet of my anorexia I’m terrified of getting away with not eating, but there’s a bigger part that praises me when I get away with not eating I’m never gonna make it easy for them, because of the terror Eating makes me so ******* scared I don’t want to gain weight, I’m already fat The people around me are lying, telling me I am too skinny Or is it my head that’s lying to me? Why do I see a fat person in the mirror when I look at myself I eat less than a 100 calories each day I need a minimum of 2000 How is it that I’m still so fat? Eating is horrifying to me My parents think I do it to control them, but that’s such a lie I do it because I’m genuinely scared to eat I fear eating and I fear food I fear getting my stomach full and I fear getting fat I don’t know how to overcome this fear I’m working so hard and no one sees it

can't eat
& maybe i was the lost little girl with high expectations way too many goals that could not even be completed & maybe i was the lost little girl who fell for the wrong guys for the guys who clearly were under my standard only because of my insecurity & maybe i was the lost little girl that kept herself busy as long as everyone was happy & every night she would find herself crying herself to sleep while cutting her wrist at the same spot over & over again because at the end of the day she knew no one was really down for her as she thought

Lost Little Girl
How they wield horrible envy, Crawling its way onto my veins, Grab my neck by means envious.

Schadenfreude
My record spins in sync with my mind, trying to forget the life I left behind But the monsters they won't let me go, the demons tell me you hate me so I'll go make myself feel something more, I'll carve out on my skin the truth - *"you ***** For that's what I am as you've told me so many times, just let me leave and escape my mind

Almost died by the sound of the night. The silence like a knife, stabbing me from the inside. The substance like oxygen, I breathed in the pain. Wondered why I did this. Wondered why I won't speak up. It sickens me that I am such a scarred soul. I beg for happiness. But what's given is sorrow. My heart is wild, It's trapped in a cage, It could easily break, I should let it escape. But if I do, It has no where to go or stay. People will scream, Once it's in sight anyway. No matter what, My heart will not be happy. Outside or not, Still it's so weak. My heart shouts for my mind to think. Like a glass that fell, My heart is shattered. A book with skipped unwritten pages. My mind is incomplete, And confused of what story that's hidden within. Aimless, Confused, Soon to be breathless, I am hardly amused.

Soon to be breathless.
Some pour any ointment they can find upon their insides so that they might stop the aching, in some attempt to make all they can focus on a blur. So that all they bottled up can flow away and stop the drain upon their life. There are those who sit looking at canvases that they might seek to mark so many times it would create something of beauty if it would only hide the ugliness beneath. As if to carve some crack through which a light might shine and blot out the dark. A light that might be found as friend or mother or lover that on the other side is a life preserver, a sanctuary, a single point afloat in all the world held onto so tightly the white knuckle ride that would seem to only end when they let go. But to let go, is to fall. to fall into that sea that numbs that crowds that never lets up. To fall and stop so suddenly the world gives out below. Were it not for those who hold us tight in some attempt to pull us up there would be but one thing to stop the fall. The people we talk with and dance with and live with can be the only things holding us up, but those lines feel so thin that they might break at the slightest tug so we hope they might somehow form a net, something to catch us and carry us away to shore, where finally we can lay and rest.

Canvases
She screamed, And the blood of her victims Reigned down upon her. Sealing her thin body in a scarlet coat, Her naked eyes shown through. No emotion for anything, No sign of the murderous frenzy taking place. The murdered thought she was one of them, But they couldn't see what she did. Images flashed from one to another, Totally normal to Morbid nightmares In her everyday life. She was just scared, We justified. She thought they were harming others, We excused this little mess, And let her free, But that is not what should be. Her victims walk around my room And stop In my doorway, Embodiments of normal people. But the fear of the lady coming to **** them Is terrifying. So I wake up, And live my life Sleep deprived and afraid.

Morbid nightmares
she stares at the bottle of pills sitting calmly on the table as she picks up a paintbrush and begin her painting her choice of colour was red always shocking red her canvas was smooth smooth as a baby's skin they say but no one will ever know the days she spent locked up in her room painting her life away that her canvas was her skin the paintbrush was the blade the choice of colour was her blood and she couldn't stop
