I’m a mess Everything we hate about me Is a cruel sick DNA guarantee I’m fighting Fighting to breathe Fighting to be still Fighting to stay Fighting my own demons I’m so **** tired I can’t do this anymore I don’t wanna be here I don’t wanna live I want to die I’m starting to truly give up

****
the wine sloshes red , the bottle a lighthouse of blood . your teeth are stained with it we used to live deep in the woods , where the trees are tall, and the darkness is taller , and haggard, looming deer roamed the night , but we had each other , and that was enough . throwing stones into the lake when it froze. you loved the sound it made. sitting on the hill outside the hospital wandering the fields after curfew stealing signs and putting stickers on lampposts snowboarding down the hill outside your dads listening to ****** folk-punk making our hideout in the woods playing make-believe running from it all into the trees threatening darkness learning the words for light the dogs outside howl they have eyes like gods but nothing howls back they will starve without food and so will us . we used to live .

So I tried everything you asked, I tried so hard I don't think I've ever tried this hard in my whole life, I don't think I'm ever going to make it to where you want me, and I don't think it's fair that you only love me if I climb there, At what point do I give up and accept that you're just an evil person?

Everyday
So there I was, running and running trying to catch up with the sun, with all my hopes and dreams. I was right at an arms length, until then I woke up

i gave up on myself,
I feel as though I'm looking for an anwser to a question I dont even know.. Everything kinda feels pointless when you dont know what you want.. Even if I had what I wanted would I be happy?.. This is just a place to write my feelings no one cares to listen to.. yet I find myself speaking words that go unheard. And its the same everywhere.. no one listens to me so why talk?

Searching..
I see my mirror posted on my wall. I stop and stare at what I see. I can't fix the mess in front of me. Eyes swallowed by darkness and a smile that hides my misery. I try to fathom how this all came to be.. What happened to me? A life stolen by illness and disability. Invisible ones that most of the time, you can't see. I try to hide behind a strong facade. Deep down inside, I quit. I'm tired of playing games. So I hide my thoughts and push them away. I stand up tall, and push through the day. But, When no one's looking, to my knees, I pray.. For. Just. One. Day.

I quit
I wish you were mine, Your beauty is divine. Your personality brightly shines. Your overall is just so fine. I just look at the sky, wonder why. No matter how much I try, You'd probably deny. I'd always do something awry, You'd just decry. I wouldn't wanna be shy, but you make me wanna cry. Even when the tears are dry. I'm not the one you'd rely. Well, I'm not the tough guy, ***** the retry, F*ck those other guys, I don't need a reply. I don't need a goodbye. I'll just go die.

Sigh
Like the falling stars Melting before I reach you I burn to nothing

(Senti) Mental
She can't stop It's uncontrollable She just wants to turn it off She just wants a switch Turn them off for good All emotions... Especially love For forever It only causes her pain Unrequited love The worst of all "Friend Zoned" Backed against the wall Last attempt Wasted down the drain She watches it swirl down Then drops the knife Sinking sowly to the ground No heart + No life = nothing, empty and she's finally happy

Whatever I say, someone takes it wrong Whenever I defend myself, people tell me I'm stupid I get ignored by everybody And so, I've decided, I give up So hate on me all you like Tell me in the comments Message me if you don't want everyone to see But tell me how you hate me And my poetry's awful And I'm just a stupid child Who doesn't know anything And hasn't got any right to hurt Tell me again Not like I'll care Because I hear it enough But right now, From today on, As long as I live Which may not be very long, I GIVE UP

I give up.
These secrets are Smothering my soul There's nothing left of me Nothing at all There is no hope There is no faith There's no such thing As ******* fate My scars are fading And so am I You gave up on me You let me die
