Once I tried to convince myself that it was seasonal, And that it would pass like the chilly weather. Then flowers started to blossom, But I was still stuck in the bud of my mind And birds came back from migration, But my happiness didn't. Though there were no more flurries of snow in the air, There were still blizzards in me. Now, I wasn't only freezing, But I was alone. While my teeth were chattering, I watched everyone else have fun in the sun. With no one here, no one to snuggle up with, it's impossible to keep warm. I tried to reach out at least a hand to their summer world, But it could never reach me. It's almost like I have a repellent on me, And no matter how hard i scrub, It always remains. But of course, I'm not going to drag others into this winter with me. Because I know the nature of it. And I wouldn’t want to inflict it on anyone; Once it begins, it'll never end. This eternal winter has no escape. This eternal winter Will be the death of me.

Eternal Winter
I wish I was stronger That my mind would leave me alone I keep trying Pushing through all of these walls I've built I keep trying To focus on the little things to get me through each day But each little thing is getting harder than it ever use to be Why can't I just stop Stop worrying about how I'm meant to do this How I'm going to get through this Stop avoiding life and carry on get over it and move on I wish I didn't feel so strongly But the emotions I carry weigh me down so intensely I don't want this to be who I am Yet it's how I see myself I've got no dreams or aspirations And I find that really weird Why don't I want more out of life Why can't I see a better future for myself I just continue to get stuck in my head and weigh myself down I'm a burden to myself And I resent it more than I should I wish I could see the light the silver lining behind it

I'm A Burden To Myself
I'm breaking and can feel my cracks Expanding and loudening with every snap Emotional turmoil and feeling delusional Will I be jumping off the plank soon? Will I be tempted to pick up metal again? Will I try to escape from all the pain With that chilling bright pink and red? I can't go back down there again Down the endless pit my mind constructs Every now and again to put me in my place I've been so happy, been feeling so full I've had him for support until he leaves Then I become an inanimate vessel For a breaking, shattering mind My body feels tender and pathetic I had so many plans for productivity Excitement for senior year, Getting my **** together, finally Tossing and turning Anxieties are rushing Shooting pains so numbing Woke up to find splotches of bloodstains A whole *** massacre on my bed It was my ******* period. No wonder I'm so constipated
