#mention
did I mention how I crave your touch at night not a ****** touch a loving touch a gentle touch a holding me in the night touch a playing with my hair touch a squeezing my hand touch a kissing me when I cry touch did I mention how much I want you to be mine how I giggle and kick my feet when you message me how I make time out of my day to see you or to hear you say hiii did I mention how I see you your coacoa brown eyes your strawberry blonde hair your beautiful freckles your light blue braces your stunning body of a goddess do you know how I look at you and wish you could be all mine did I mention how I find parts of you in every view I see in the most crowded places in the most beautiful places in the places with imperfections and with perfections I find a piece of you I take with me did I mention how you saved my life by telling me you loved me by promising one day we’d be near and never out of reach did I mention how I see you as my forever and ever and ever?

did I mention
To feel you for a while, I did my best, Overcame depression, waiting for the next Suddenly opened my eyes feeling perplexed: Standing on my knees in tears, I pray Did you mention my name, dear, far away?! The time is really beyond before and afters Distances turn to a means as we disperse Your spirit is here; you sound in my laughters The cigarette is glowing in the ashtray Did you mention my name, dear, far away?! Stretched my soul in such a miraculous bond No constraint anymore and no discord Just like a butterfly flying in a void I found the peace here, please, do stay, Did you mention my name, dear, far away?! I feel you turning pages with shaky fingers I feel your heart beating in a rhyming bliss Papers will reflect you in your red dress As you touch my letters, it will make my day Did you mention my name, dear, far away?!

Dear father, I am your lil version. People usually say 1st daughter are father's carbon copy, i belive what they mention. All your love for me or your decisions I respect them and never question. You made so many sacrifices and Always being an helping hand. Your strictness gave me growth And yo u be there for me like under oath. I want to return but i cant Now i want to fulfil all your want. You made me capable, you made me so far Now its my turn to make you at par.

To my father
It’s not your job but it’s nice Just because it’s not your job Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it

Your job
My permanent mental state is an odd battle between paranoia and self-deprication. Are they laughing behind my back or am I not worth a mention?

.S.A.V.E.M.E.
Depression is a war, one that i’m trying my hardest to battle but still no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to fight. The words are painful, they hurt more than the ones kids at school would yell. The words I tell myself daily, like **** yourself” they are the echo of this world I was brought up in, they are my fathers words, the bullies, the ex boyfriends, the ex friends. Those are the words that ring in my head, as I tell myself daily how much I would be better off dead. I look in the mirror and I can’t find anything else to say except ‘ew’ the once pretty boy I knew is now a ghost, an empty shell of someone who tried to take on the world but ran into the wall of reality, that this world isn’t perfect like it’s said to be. I struggle some days to get out of bed, I stay awake at three am, grasping onto any happy moments I can find in this empty ******* head. I need happiness, I crave it like it’s a drug, and hell to me, it is. My life is like a dumb game, one that I don’t want to play. I would think I was dead if it wasn’t the constant heaving of my chest as a reminder that i’m still alive.   Depression is a war, like I said. I’m not a fighter, and one day, I’m going to be dead. Maybe not now, or even in a few years but I struggle to live. This life is hell, I have no friends, no family to care. Poetry is my only escape from here.

Depression is a war.
Clock strikes twelve But still no reply I've been texting all night I pray to god You're safe and sound No tears But breath still present How I need you to be I need your lungs filled with air And your heart full of blood And your mind filled with me. That's how I need you to be.

un.i.led
Tired, I crawl into the hole I created, my resting place. It is nestled deep in the tundra, Away from the life I have lived. Here, I forget my failures, that I have burned into the skin of those I love the most. Here, I close my eyes, and like a needle has been pushed into my veins, I forget.

Wasteland
*** when you're in love is amazing, you can have awkward moments but not care and just laugh it off. You are comfortable enough to ask for certain things, positions and do what you know the other likes. But when that *** is expected from you, everyday, and there is no time to think "I want to have *** All you think is "I love him and if I don't **** him, he'll leave" You lose that spark. The way your heart use to race at his breath on your neck or his hand moving to lift your shirt off, just evaporates *** turns into a chore that you have to do daily, like doing the dishes or going to work It's not longer something that you desire but something you just know has to happen at some point that day. Love exists without *** and *** can exist without love. But to keep that love, there shouldn't be the need for *** Don't tell them "it's *** with you, or I find it with someone else" *** isn't a chore, and it isn't the key to love.

Not again
One of these days I'll forget how your name numbs my tongue. But not today. Today your name is hot poisonous gas trapped in my ribcage. Today you are steam burning my throat screaming "Oh god!" "Oh god!" "Oh god!: because you are going to be my shadow again. You are going to be everywhere again. I keep having these flashbacks of when I was choking on my words as you held me down. Of when he held up the camera and you bent me over the couch and You both laughed as I giggled and whispered "stop please" instead of screaming because my mother was upstairs. When me saying "I'm done. No seriously stop." turning into your wicked grins in your rotc uniforms pointing at your badges "we're higher ranked than you. You aren't done yet." and that... ******* camera. Always threatening to **** yourself when I did "wrong". Always threatening- Always threatening me. I was your puppet and when I spoke for myself. another threat. I got rid of you. But you dug a hole under my skin and crawled right back in. Shot me in the head and like a maggot crawled into my Broca's area controlling what I said. It got worse. You were ******* other girls. I got rid of you again. You acted like we were wolves. But I heard they mate for life. I heard they're loyal. You my sweet, are just a worm. Saying you love me promising you love me. And then texting another girl the same thing as you're whispering it into my ear. I pushed. I pushed. I pushed. You were a concrete wall. A snapped spinal cord between a paralyzed man and using his legs again. The emphysema that keeps a person from breathing. You were a disease. And just like brain cancer you deteriorated me and controlled me. For 2 months you were everywhere. For 2 months you were always the ghost around the next corner. You followed me... Everywhere. Showing up outside my house to walk me to school. Showing up outside my classes to tell me you loved me and hated me at the same time. Every time I pushed, you threatened. Always another suicide attempt as I tried to get out of the grave you put me in. You kept throwing dirt on me and saying "I can finally breathe!" I remember that one day, your hands were ****** Glass was everywhere. Your pocket rattled. My name engraved on your thigh. "Janna this blood is your fault" as it ran down your leg. You stuffed pills into your mouth, pushed me away as I screamed and clawed at your throat trying to get them out. Next time. More blood, less pills, but you were dizzy, delirious, saying you love me, saying goodbye, throwing up, saying goodbye, resisting my help, your hands looked miles away which is probably why for once you didn't touch me. It's taken me 2 months to realize the leaves moving behind me weren't you running for me. 2 months to realize the person behind me isn't going to capture me and keep me locked up. You're back from the mental asylum. And just the thought of your brown eyes breaks down what ever recovery I built up. You are an atomic bomb. And I'm not sure there's ever going to be a day where I don't tremble at the thought of you. And if there is, then it is not today.

Its been a sad day The skies are a murky grey You had wished to be solitary Into the forest you'd gone, involuntarily. You walk along the forest trail Looking about at the leafy veil When suddenly, you turn to see A deer overcome with glee The deer dances and gallops around It's winter coat flies as it bounds Why it's so happy? You haven't a clue But suddenly you don't feel so blue You turn around and head back home But the deer to you it seems to roam You gaze into its brown doe eyes, And through its eyes, you see the skies. The stars, the moon, the trees, too! They're all looking down at you. They seem to beckon, they seem to call For you to look up at them all. You close your eyes, lay yourself to rest. and wake up in your bed, feeling your best. You sit up and find, it was all a dream. But you seem to know just what it means.

Deersteps
you are working hard, to keep this laziness alive. You drown in dark, push down an empty hive. Why beat so fast and freeze my body like ice? You can't let love last so why do you still thrive?
