I tell myself I will heal, But how can I, When I'm my own enemy?

Healing
i make my heart collapse. seedlings planted in my chest trees sprouting out of my ******* i am the root of this massive Redwood. i watch the leaves shake till they touch hands with the sky, say hello to the sun. pull me upwards. lurch me forward. giant Redwood breaking through me as i travel up its stump. i love the blood the tree jerks from my veins. drips down that rough bark and settles past its roots where it lays to rest in the hot center of the earth. i love the skin ripped from my body as i am revealed for all that i am. lies suffocating in oxygen, their deaths fertilizing the life that is this earth. Breathe. feel cold purity enter your lungs. let the wind carry your limp body. finger paint the sky as your canvas, use the sun as your paints. Rest, deep in those moon craters. befriend the stars. Breathe. let that rainbow of music notes pour from your mouth as you laugh. let your smile radiate happiness for all that is. let your mind fly with the kites and your tongue taste the air the birds do. It’s Okay to fade into that dark night that only God can see. to feel that wonderful, eternal fall in your stomach as your roller coaster plummets so sublimely beautiful from that place up high. body slipping from the seat, and letting go, to be all that there is, to experience all that exists, to let the light gleam from those cracks in your still heart. to fall and rise with the tide of that ocean that carried you away so delicately, so gracefully, so searingly beautiful.

I promise One day The sun will wash away the rain And the tide will pull away the darkness Maybe that isn’t today And maybe, That’s okay Because I promise One day You will be.

This is Just to Say.
You ask me why I cling to you like you’re going off to war It’s not you going off to war it’s me Everyday is like a battlefield in my head I can’t seem to get the words right I can’t tell you how I feel because of the fear I can’t let you in because that means you would know You would know the monster within I’m toxic and I can’t resist you Maybe I’m young Maybe I’m naive I’ve seen more things and been through more to last me ten lifetimes My heart flutters when I see your face The brush of your skin is enough to give me a heart attack I ask you not to hurt me You tell me you won't We both know that's a lie It's a lie it's all a lie Because you walk past me like I'm not even there You talk to my friends and don't acknowledge my presence I'm invisible again I'm a ghost slowly being hollowed out **** it not this again This vicious cycle that kills me from the inside I'm slowly deteriorating please I'm begging you Don't hurt me DON'T hurt me   Like they did.

Please Don't Hurt Me
Coming up from the ground You see that light The light that makes you perpetual Like a feather flowing through the breeze Deft as an emotion, clear as water Im open to the world, i'm open to nature We all have that empty pit in our stomache When we cant see the sun for what it is Blocked by the bleakness of winter But you can get through, you can get through, just keep holdin on See the forest through the trees See the trees in the forest And advice I can give ya, is to not give up Stuck with  fleeting feeling Of uncontrable variables And that balance is virture, We cant renovate the old, so lets change the new We cant renovate the old, so lets change the new lets start a revelotuion New, new, lets make this world.

virtue of deft
I honestly am not suicidal anymore. And that's good. It's nice to be able to say that again. I'd like to feel like I'm living more often, but I don't want to **** myself anymore, at least. I honestly am not suffering from an eating disorder or any kind of weight paranoia. This is also good. It is really nice to be able to feel less worthless in that sense. These are good things. I'm getting better. Let's focus on the positive, Ember. This year WILL NOT JUST BE AN EXTENSION OF LAST YEAR. You don't want to live like that anymore. The silence is over. Build something better for yourself. It's time to find your own escape. And it's time to focus on something better. Maybe this sinking feeling of depression isn't entirely escapable, but count the struggles you've overcome. I don't cut anymore, I don't starve anymore, and I don't make drafts for suicide notes anymore. These are good things. I still feel hollow, but I'm alive. I'm going to start FEELING alive. This is my goal. It will be okay. I need to start believing that. because it is true. I just don't know it yet.

Count the struggles I've overcome.
Tears of sorrow Is the frosted window To our darkest desires And shout the lies Depression is like a ghost in the snow It all seems unreal You have no idea what you're up against Yet we've seen what they look like The clock can keep ticking And whisper the time We are too ignorant to hear And too scared to listen The sun shines on you And screams your imperfections Forget about the people who hate you A smile is the perfect revenge
