Self harm is not only cutting it’s hitting and biting and burning and hurting your self but mostly cutting people think hurting them selfs is better than getting professional help in reality it’s worst your wrist are covered with cuts from self harm this is why you should get professional help some people can’t get professional help because they don’t want their parents to know and that’s understandable but at least have someone to talk to and if you don’t always text me x

Self harm
I wait patiently But still eagerly For your touch on my skin Your mouth on every part of me Your hands holding me down I want so badly to be claimed Punished To be marked and abused by you Eat my sins and take your payments Treat me as I deserve for what I've done Break me Liberate me. I am no good Better me

No.1 My T-Shirt: Ive never been epic
Let's fight over dirt about what's underground Let's work on bombing hospitals so we can play a few rounds Let's ****** one thousand children just to take out one Let's liberate the people by sneaking them under our thumb Let's make the world better after we purposely made it worse Let's spread the good word using an orange hearse Let's die for Isreal so Jesus can come back down (Who's gonna tell Hegseth that he's poor and brown) Let's use hideous creations to decimate beautiful things We can rebuild civilization on top of dead human beings Let's start a war for peace so the oil tycoons get rich Just send the poor to die for money and **** two birds with one whip

Oh, my dearest, Humans ain't even enduring, then how are we envisioned to have endless instants. Moments, treasure and worship, such that it prevails eternally, It's the only way it abides. isn't it so outlandish to lament on past moments by neglecting the present?. Live in the moment, grasp devotion, yearning, enchantment and sparks. only those moments get you lessons, not what a triumphant businessman orates. We gotta glorify the misery, idolize the brokenness, embrace the solitary, endear the faithless souls, because all this is what, take you somewhere in the sky, to thrive, to grin, and to live.

Moments
What words can work when you’re under pressure? and What tongue can speak that my mind cannot utter? and What will I be mute to and what might I mutter? Don’t you ever wonder? and Don’t you ever think? and Don’t you ever wish just what could have been? Or whatever? But what can I say? Hey, I’ve been better This Sunday’s got me homesick but yet I’ve been home since last week You reminded me of myself and of what might come to be But I cannot judge because he’s just like me, a forgery Don’t you ever wonder? and Don’t you ever think? and Don’t you ever wish just what could have been? Or something other? But what can I say? Hey, I’ve been better To see you here in person couldn’t be worse than not at all I’d love to write a letter but you know no one does that as much, am I wrong? Wishing we could see each other and wasn’t a young man’s brother, gained or lost Don’t you ever wonder? and Don’t you ever think? and Don’t you ever wish just what could have been? And nothing lesser? But what can I say? Hey, I’ve been better Let’s go back to the old days where we could make each other laugh Older now, but in our twenties, how long was that supposed to last? Not much to look forward to except for looking up or looking back Don’t you ever wonder? and Don’t you ever think? and Don’t you ever wish just what could have been? Or maybe never? But what can I say? Hey, I’ve been better What words can work when you’re under pressure? and What tongue can speak that my mind cannot utter? and What will I be mute to and what might I mutter? Don’t you ever wonder? and Don’t you ever think? and Don’t you ever wish just what could have been? Or whatever? But what can I say? Hey, I’ve been better

The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Written
just lie down on the smooth soil, and rest beneath these grey clouds. feel the rain pound your body, and listen to its rhythmic sound. You breathe in and out, the sky capturing your breath, but for once, you do not notice, and your veins dance with life. you are calm, as the vines creep beneath you, slowly pushing, tearing at flesh that was once theirs. plants begin to burrow through your skin, sprouting out your mouth, your chest, your arms. Blooming up to the calming sky, flowers stealing your life away, so you can rest.

i just want to let it go
i met you in the middle of august during the death of summer but the birth of my life the leaves were just beginning to turn the shade of mustard of my favorite yellow the specks of gold inside the dog of my childhood and you were a melancholy prince a monsoon of everything I was always too busy looking elsewhere for always on the cusp now before my eyes it was terrifying I was too busy in my own sadness always teetering on the verge of the roof more mosquito bite than girl when they asked why I was always writing what could I write about if I wasn't ever talking to people no sensory experiences but the ones I imagined a shyness of a body a flushing fever of a person how could I explain spill onto the kitchen sink gripping strangers' shoulders crying I was in love with everything and could that be such a bad thing I didn't want to be a wound but there we were stealing groceries from the store and never sleeping inside a romantic cocoon I would go anywhere with you be your favorite friend a favored nervousness inside the pit of your amygdala if you wanted me to

a party of leaves
Cold trails Dark sparks Wood chips drowning beneath waving path No time No chance No opportunity left to embark I've missed the stars The skyward boat It's filling mast has sailed away And I am left standing Beneath the reality Of day My reality This day

I've Missed The Drifting Stars
all I've ever learned from love is *in the trying is the finding out of the all about, losing battles to find yourself, a war-won victor and a long term loser, making the process new, expensive the event expertise training acquired to shoot your foot straight, laugh about it when you do it again and again for the relearning is the crown jew-el, that jesters rob from their kingly masters, pride in love is the fall season preceding Canadian winters, always thinking you know better, be better at keeping warm, this time which is the next time you cannot learn from love, cause it’s twice, two times, never the same, past lessons ain’t no prologue, the body is maybe in the wafers, sometimes vanilla, sometimes chocolate* and the epilogue is 100% of the poem~songs that I love writing and hate remembering

all I've ever learned from love
Something has changed Since I last was awake Sounds are wrong My pulse is unnerved My limbs are sitting strangely The world blurs As rain twinkles down Crouching outside On the edge Of a field of weeds I am not wanted I do not belong Some space is being taken By me That is not mine to take

is the trying is the finding out of the unique all about, losing battles to find yourself a war-won victor and a long term loser, making the process new, requiring expensive for the event custom made expertise trainers, re-acquired to shoot your foot straight and laugh about it when you do it again and again for the relearning love is the crown jew-el, that jesters rob from their kingly masters, nothing more precious pride in love is the fall season preceding Canadian winters, always thinking you know better this time you cannot learn from love, cause it’s twice, two times, never the same, the all over modifying past lessons, so, ain’t no prologue, the body is the wafers sometimes vanilla, sometimes chocolate and the epilogue is 100% poem~songs that I love writing and hate remembering or is it the other way round?
