I want to get so high
that I can’t hear my name,
can’t feel the weight of mirrors
reflecting all my shame.
Anything will do
a pill, a bottle, a cloud of smoke
I want to outrun the whispers
and the rules I always broke.
Sometimes it’s just too much
the stares, the likes, the skin I’m in,
So I chase the dizzy hush
where nothing hurts within.
Let me float past curfews
past curdled dreams and fights at home,
just one more hit, one more escape,
just one more way to roam.
Maybe I’ll get so high
I’ll finally disappear,
And maybe then the ache will stop
Or maybe I’ll just be nowhere near.
I wish I knew another way
to mend a heart that’s breaking,
but tonight I’ll take whatever comes,
no matter what it’s taking.

Some nights I count pink pills in my trembling palm,
It promises rest, or maybe something calmer
I wonder if a handful could hush the storm within,
If letting go would finally let me win.
I sit in the bathroom, cold tile against my skin,
Haunted by the weight of everything I’ve been.
But then, through the haze, a memory breaks through
My mother’s tired eyes, my sister’s laughter, too.
I think of family photos, sticky notes on the fridge,
The way my father worries, pacing at the edge.
I imagine empty chairs and dinners gone cold,
The stories they’d tell, the grief left untold.
So I put the bottle down, wipe the tears from my face,
Knowing the hardest battles never leave a trace.
I stay for the ones I love, though the darkness calls my name.

its health class
and were talking about drug overdose
I sit in this chair in silence
I feel the walls caving in on me
and the room is dark
the only light shining on my dried teary face
how am I supposed to talk about getting help?
when I just overdosed a few days ago?
how do I write a script about what to do?
if I don't even know what to do after that?
I sit here in this chair
the chair feels too big for me
I feel as if I'm sinking in
I feel like everyone is staring at me, like they know
everyone leaves the class because they finish
I have a paragraph written
and I cant get myself to write about the topic
the topic I'm struggling with
I cant look it up
I cant look at symtoms
I cant look for help
cause the topic feels like a weight on my shoulders
pressing down and down and down and down
until I'm sunken far down the hole,
you look at me and you smile
your light blue braces
your squinted eyes
your long blue hair
you come over to me and you hold my hand
its warm and its soft and I can feel your fingertips brushing away the tears
you take my laptop and start writing for me
you whisper "don't worry about it okay?"
she holds my hands in the silence of the classroom
everyone's gone except for me and her
my tears are far down my face
as she wipes them one by one
Its no longer health class
I'm walking out the door
I'm holding her soft hand
and she smiles at me
"hey, you don't have to think about it anymore okay?"
I smile and nod
the walls start to uncave
I feel less shrunken now
and the halls feel brighter
no longer a light shining on just me
but rather the both of us
I turn back to the health classroom
then back to her
but within seconds shes
gone

their magical
their glowing
their screaming
"I can help you get rid of the pain"
I believe them
I try and reach to grab it
to feel like I'm holding onto a sense of something
it opens up to me
I feel the pain it holds
I want to hold it too
I take one of you
swallow
another
swallow
it feels better
your helping I know you are
can you help me 18 times more
if I let you in
the pills on the top shelf.

There was a certain comfort in the time I spent
Sitting against a wall outside in the cold
They don’t tell you what its like to freeze to death
But here’s what wishing you would is like
The trees sway with another chilling breeze
There’s a little stinging pain in my toes
Its been about 20 minutes out here
My feet are the only things cold
I'm thinking
Way too much about how the frost feels
My hands become red
a little icy itch not quite numbing my fingers
Another 20 minutes go by and I can feel the cold travel
I have no intention of leaving
I don’t want to
Maybe i’ll stay all night
An hour in my feet are cold on the outsides
My ankle is freezing
I adjust my earbud and look up to the sky
My breath can be seen in the air
I think about my mother finding my body
Bitten blue with winter
2 hours in and my feet are starting to ache
Its an interesting feeling
Almost like I’ve broken a bone but can’t quite feel it
I don’t want to be here anymore
Not outside, id love to stay in the icy air all night
But here, in front of my so called home
Filled with my so-called family
I’d like to be staying somewhere else
Somewhere where they aren’t
Somewhere where the people who care about me
Are all far far away
And if I die, they know in a few days
Not right away
If I’m sick they’ll send a gift card
And call so many times I’ll have to turn off the phone
So maybe I’ll just sit here
And let nature have its way with me
Because I'm not ready to go back in
And live in a “family”

The day after dying,
Your mortal shell will rot
And be filled with sleeping pills
No, sugar can not
Hide the pain you feel
From failing your many deaths,
Immortal now and always,
A hundred final breaths.
The day after dying,
You're nothing but a husk,
An empty, rotting hell
That lies awake until dusk,
Just contemplating painful existence
That wounds every inch of you.
Words, knives, and other pains
Don't feel enough in joy's lieu.
The day after dying,
Nothing will even change.
You'll still be a hopeless wreck.
You'll still be from peers estranged.
You'll still be a walking corpse.
You'll still never be alive.
You'll always wish you'd succeeded.
You'll feel useless just like I've.

Counting
Saving
Stashing.
How many will work?
Or! Maybe I can
disassemble
my Pencil Sharpener.
Or better yet,
Knit a long,
Skinny,
Scarf.
Where to hang it though?
Perhaps I could take a
Too Hot
Bath,
And sit till it's cold.
Maybe...
Weigh myself,
Until I'm satisfied
That'd do it too.

Sherri can you hear me?
I'm sitting in my bathroom,
I've got a bunch of pills
And I'm ready to meet my doom.
Sherri can you hear me?
I'm almost ready to die.
I called you for one reason,
I wanted to say goodbye.
Sherri can you hear me?
Please don't call nine-one-one
Nothing can help anymore.
It's all done; I'm done.
Sherri can you hear me?
One, two, three, four.
Counting pills, ready for death
Oh no, they're at the door.
Sherri I gotta go,
The ambulance is here.
My wrists are sliced real bad
And my death is getting near.
Sherri I'm so scared.
Lights and sirens are on high.
They're sticking stickers on my body,
My death will soon be nigh.
Grace can you hear me?
My heart's beating too fast.
I'm seizing, once, twice, three times,
This day will soon be my last.
Grace, stop, stop!
I'm pulling out my needle
Barely aware of what's happening
My body's turning feeble.
Grace, why did you do it?
I'm now being interrogated.
Summit Ridge or Peachford?
To the hospital I am fated.
Mom can you hear me?
It's finally visitor's day.
I'm so anxious, I love you lots
Please mom, will you stay?
Grace did you hear me?
You're going no matter what.
Skyland Trail's the next step,
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Mom can you hear me?
I miss you too much.
Please. come pick me up,
I really miss your touch.
Friends can you hear me?
You're help was invaluable.
A Thank You goes to everyone
My recovery is beyond admirable.

Someone
out there
doesn't have a mom.
You say "Everyone has a mom".
Well, get this.
Someone's mother
was born in the 70's,
with bipolar disorder.
Quite the disaster.
This was before
people knew how to address
things like that,
so instead it was
hidden away.
Someone's mother
turned to drugs
to make herself feel okay
but it didn't really turn out that way.
By the time she was 22
she had two daughters,
but no source of stability.
Someone's mother
overdosed one (two? three?)too many times
and got arrested for
possession of illegal drugs.
Someone's mother
had to sing
"You Are My Sunshine"
with her hand up to glass,
instead of with her hand
in her daughter's.
Someone
forgot to give their mother
one last hug
goodbye.
Someone's mother's
last OD
resulted in laying
on a couch for
three days.
Alone.
Someone's mother
went into
a coma.
Someone
was told
to say goodbye
to her mother,
and said
"She can't hear me.
Why should I say goodbye
if she can't hear me?"
Someone
was without a mother
at 11 years old.
Someone
had a sister that stole
*** from her mother.
Someone
grew up
not really knowing
what was going on.
Someone
out there
doesn't have a mom.

What happens when I get the bottle open?
When I'm strong enough to let it go?
all the hopes and dreams I once had
escape
and I gain the knowledge to be free
What happens when I get the bottle open?
I stab the villain and not the innocent
finally slaying my demons
it's liberating
can't you see?
What happens when I get the bottle open?
I'll finally see the truth
maybe you will too
be happy for me
this is no set back
What happens when the bottle finally opens?
and all my dreams come true
I'm laying on the beach
listening
as the crashing waves
consume me
so nicely
What happens when the bottle's open?
and there's no going back
like Pandora's box of bottles
and all that's left is to
sink
What happens if the bottle's already open?
and I can't hide it anymore
I'm sorry
for wasting
Everything
but the bottle's been opened
and I can't waste this
not now
there is no strength to close it.

Ke$ha is a shooting star;
her light burning bright
in the sepia darkness;
her eyes painted by
Whistler & Sargent
Ke$ha is a comet streaking
pink & purple across
the rich midget's laps
smelling like a starry
gas cloud all pink &
purple in garters & red
petticoats; Ke$ha is
nebulous so deep wellwisher
maybe the one true
blonde foretold; Ke$ha is
a mysterious black hole

in a way
that ******* gross aspirin cannot fix
i can still taste the overdose
in the back of my throat
the pits of my
aching stomach
trying to expel
its chalky white substance
my head hurts
i'm too traumatized by
"pills"
fix me, ******* magically fix me

"One fine morning,
As usual Mary went for jog,
and while returning home, she checked the letter box,
Besides the usual bills, advertisements and offers
There lay this ominous letter in black and crimson color...
and of course,
curiosity got better of her and she was ripping of the edges
and on scanning the contents
she gave out a shrill cry...
her fingers trembling
her forehead sweating...
It was a suicide letter!!
A letter with news of death
A letter from a man
who wrote this
before his few last breaths...
Slowly she read each word..
each one of them echoing in her head..
the letter went as follows-
Dear Jane,
I love you a lot,
and I know you will be in shock and pain,
but I couldn't handle it anymore,
I found my answers in the dark,
I found solace in enternal bliss,
I just want you to stay strong,
and fulfill my last wish,
so lend me your attention, woman,
Do you remember that old paino we have in the attic?,
I want you to gift that to my small sister,
Lily is naive and she would miss me and won't find any thing
To call her own anymore,
Give her this paino so that she may hold it dear to her heart,
If you don't do this for me,
then I am afraid my soul wouldn't rest,
and in a fortnight I would be chasing you as a ghoul,
you will always be my girl,
Love,
Peter
Mary read and re-read again and again,
then she finally gave a sigh of relief,
and picked up her phone and went to do laundries,
You see,
the letter had reached the wrong destination.
(what a irony)"

all the days just fade into one another
i do nothing, i see nothing, i am nothing
even medication and self harm cannot bring me out of this darkness
i binge and purge the demons out of me
i take all the pills at once to drown out my own self hate
i take them all to accompany the numbness in my heart
i slip down further and further
the darkness gets darker and darker
i drink away the voices in my mind
i drink until they go from sharp and bitter
to warm and soft
i drink the pain away
i cry until my heart caves in
i cry because there’s no other way
i can suffer like i should
i cry until my eyes dry out
i take the pills
i drink everything away
i cry all night
until i find the courage to end my own life.

What it feels like to od
Your mind is screaming, fingers fumbling
You poor down the pills
Throat burning, but all you can think about is pooring down more
***** covers your body
Everything shaking, spinning, darking
You lose focus on everything but the white, red, and blue pills
almost patriotic
The ***** dosen't stop
you try to keep it down, but it burns it way up and out
Soon whole pills come up
this just makes you more determined to swallow more
You just want it to end, no matter the pain
Hearing gunshots out your window, wishing it was you
Layng there, weak, covered in your own *****
then suddenly dog barking EMTs running through the house shining a Flash light in your face,
Screaming "what did you take!"
blank stare, mind too foggy
again "what did you take!"
mind reeling, stomach lurching, vomiting
screaming again
"*Into the bag. ***** into to the bag, we need to analize it*"
****** into and amulance
you're too young, you're too young, you're too...
black out

Not even the purest of Jellies could save me now
okay, maybe if they stung me or caused me to drown..
I'm fading away inside and out all I wanted was to
w o r k t h i n g s o u t
but now.. I just want to make the pain go away
even if that means that I cannot stay- all of you
are better off without me anyways I'm just a..

The words come back and conversation
Flows under excited pressure
Just like the red rose when I register
Its been a while so the better in me knows
And tries to send a message to me
But my psychic energy grows
More intensely on a memory's
Lows, I always get the best of me
Tolls, Happiness isn't free
I wish I could just be fine with settling
Stop hoping that my two halves will quit wrestling
Over who drives while the other is directing
From the back seat, this is where I belong
A siren is my life's theme song
Hand in hand I'm dragged along
To some place I'd rather not be
Put on a face so they won't see
Anything that's felt inside of me
Learning to survive by blending in
Once released, spin cycle repeats
Pumping poison bought off the street
A death rehearsed I'll never know
When rehearsal ends, begin the show
I'm drifting off into sleep...
But this time it's too deep.

False idols only lead to false hope.
Got a choke chain necklace
A Rosary noose around my throat.
We all love, We all die.
As long as I still struggle to breathe
You won't see how selfish it is to keep me
Crawling by.
Oh how lucky the depraved are!
Oh how brave the saddest were...
I've tried their medicine, I made it mine.
No note; Nothing to say Goodbye.
Maybe my blood will thicken their tears?
My only salvation is my biggest fear.
So here I'll stand... But I'll go stag - staggering.
I hope, not, to bother you
With these thoughts
that keep us both awake.
I've had some Help, my reflection in her eyes
And she said as best she could, "keep your friend in mind."
Trying to hang on - to something - but it's lesser everyday.
Brave friend...You once said
"Me and you, we think alike. Share the same troubles..."
Maybe I'm just jealous
Cuz my struggles are now doubled.

She takes the pills
As if they will relieve
This deep ache that pervades her whole being.
Inside she wills
Herself just to believe
That she's not feeling what she is seeing.
Inside it plays
On a screen in her head
As if on a loop, over and over.
Nothing betrays
How she's feeling so dead
And the lengths to which wretchedness drove her.

I am getting frustrated
at the sight of all these sick people
running around and blowing
their nose with nothing but the air
these women behind the desk
they don’t really seem to care
they just nod their head -
forget to take the insurance card
they tell you to sit
patiently
well how am I supposed to wait behind
these people without giving a ****
if I’m late or if I’ll be on time
that’s all I can really think
when I stare at this sick girl
I do care you see
but I work for a company
one that is a corporation and
I truly feel disposable
like the generic paper towels
that won’t absorb anything
I’m just one of many -
not making the company anymore money
while I sit and wait
behind all these sick people
when all I need is five minutes of your time
to stick a needle in my arm to
tell me that I’m not overdosing.
