#seeme
I walk in rooms that hum with light, Smile stitched tight, shoes pressed right. Yet inside me, a quiet plea Whispers, See me. Really see me. I fold my words in careful lines, Hiding cracks, rehearsing signs. A laugh, a glance, a practiced tone— Still, my soul feels left alone. I crave the eyes that look and stay, That trace the shadows, the frayed array Of fears and dreams I tuck away, And nod, I understand today. Not for applause, or fleeting praise, Not for mirrors that briefly gaze. Just a hand that holds, a heart that knows, The raw, unfiltered me it shows. I am more than shape and skin, More than what the world lets in. And though my voice may sometimes thin, I long for someone to see within.

Invisible Threads
I wish you could see me More than my gaze, More than my smile I wish you could hear more than these words That I’m speaking out loud Your eyes wander up and down slowly against my silhouette Yearning my embrace, craving my warmth Just to fill your thirst with your empty glass Eyes that lust - dress me up in lies. Gouge them out and throw them away, please - If you can not, meet me in purity Haunted by tomorrow’s hopes, I wish you could see me. Not just idolize or fantasize I am not your projection I am not your sacred prize I wish - you could see me. Immaturity loves Shiny objects, Because that’s what beings are to IT - objects, right? IT caught a Butterfly and caged her in, Just to boast: “I touched her Wing.” But never asked how Light is fed, Or why the Stars sleep in her head IT wants to say IT once touched Divinity, But not honor it, nor grow with it In seeking to cage the Butterfly, You lost the chance to learn how to tend your own Light in the presence of one Who carried Sun in her wings I can never be enough, Or fully myself. You want me to limit my presence for your liking, Need to be careful not to shine too bright, Otherwise you’ll go running to the shadows. There’s the comfort zone.. Did I scare you? “Too much” - what does that even mean? Perhaps it’s just the trembling scream Of egos fearing what they lack, So they attack or turn their backs, Since her fullness can only be tolerated in fragments. If you want to stay in your comfort zone, By all means go ahead, regress. But don’t expect me to conform. I don’t operate for likes, Or to have people understanding me anyway. I know all wisdom seekers were also once never understood, So I don’t expect you to. But nobody told me how lonely This path of Truth was to be walked upon. This is the ache of the mystic, The healer, the truth teller The one who feels so much, Sees so deeply Yet must often walk Without being truly met Still… I wish you could See Me.

I want you to see me in the golden hour light I think I would look pretty as the sun goes down Pink and gold sunset is a good shade on me I will wear your kisses just as well As the sun and the moon are in the same sky together We will be together Warm bodies in a cold breeze

I want you to see me,
you want to see me stripped on the floor a motor of a girl gasping for breath crawling with her blistered knuckles her wounds harsh and fresh can’t you just breathe in deeply? exhale, then inhale me oh, for your sake baby push it in then leave me diseased you only see a body you only see a body you only see a body you only see my body —i wish so hard that you would just see me

sight
the tears that fall that fall down my face are viewed as weak they are not weak they show I have feelings they show I do care they are not weak like you think they are strong so what if I cry so what if I let how I feel show just ignore me like always just act as if I weren't there just pretend you don't see me pretend I'm invisible like I don't exist I don't need you what I need is a friend someone who sees the tears sees who I am sees me for me someone who views them as strong someone who cares someone to listen I need these tears

tears
Love me, hate me Desire me, despise me Hold me, leave me But do not ignore me See me, as I see you Do not pass me by as if I’m not there Do not show me you’re happy without me Let me in, tell me I belong Do not shatter me and crush my hopes But reach out, take my hand and let me in.

See Me
I just want to speak to you. Can I get one moment of your time? I just need me to see you. I just need you to see me. I know sometimes it’s not easy. I just want this one moment to last. But I know the images of me. Brings up the bad moments of your past. I just want to say sorry. Although history can repeat. It usually does..no matter how discreet. Things can still rise to the surfaces above. I’m thinking of you too much. And the mistakes that were made. But I’m also missing your touch. Almost by days: like yesterday and today. Tomorrow could be a different story. But I still think about you always. I won’t go into details. But I shouldn’t raise my _______. I feel sorry where it landed. It should of firmly planted. If it was me instead of you. I would of never withstand it. So, now I understand it...Why. You left me without a goodbye. Then again you just left. Without a single text. I started with a Hello... I got silence in return I guess your wondering what’s next.. I guess your still feeling hurt.. I’m Sorry (it’s not just words) I’m Sorry (I really mean it when your hurt) I’m Sorry (I should thought of my action first) I’m so so Sorry.

I’m Sorry (just want to talk)
I feel ****** to the Eternal inferno of flame The smoke burns my Lungs As I listen to the Crackle of burning skin The brimstone hearth Holds the flames of Those lost The fire burns through My flesh As my eyes turn to flames

Hell hath no fury
Someone granted on me death They reached out and stole my life My only wish that they held my breath But instead they used a knife Don't need roses at my grave Don't need sorrow, hurt, or pain Stolen life, that i had gave Stole my life, but what'd you gain

How To Use Power
I can feel the chain Wrapped tight to drag me down I can feel the pain A sensation that brings me to the ground I can feel your eyes Set upon me burning I will not say goodbye Even though I'm yearning I feel very broken Torn up beneath your cleets I feel very broken Like the ground Beneath Your Feet...

The Mania Of The Broke
All i see is battle scars Lined up and down my skin And I will crash this car Just so i won't win Im half crazy and insane With a knife in my hands Im half bitter and vain While i listen to the same ol' band I want to rebuild and restake This claim to fame But the blood on my clothes Looks unsafe and untamed So I'll just sit in the back While you sit there and laugh At this joke of a human And this waste of a life...

Made up Love
Sometimes the storm Of life goes by But you have to remember To keep your head held high It seems the same wrath Will just not leave So you take the dark embrace That you have received Then you feel the light Seeping through And realize that what you Felt before was not true There was so much dark It hid the light Even though it was in you The entire time It was the little spark of hope That just kept going The little spark of light That just kept showing...

A Defective Blemish
Nervous.... When I enter a room... Do I look okay? I fidget with my bracelets, making sure my battles are hidden... What will they think.... When they find out... I'm not okay... I'm a loose ***** A walking wreck... Held together by barb wire, the rough edges pierce my skin... Will you hear my pleas? Will anyone answer me? Or just pass by like a blurred figment of imagination? Believing the smile on my face, the joyful laugh I make, misguiding you? That I'm always this pleasant and easygoing? But I'm not, never was, but I'm trying to hide and show you all at once... Can you see me?

Nervous
You silence my brains loud screaming and violent thrashing, With a touch... How can you mean this much? My heart, thumps rapidly in your presence; Why can't I tell you... My words of confession get trapped with aggression as my lungs fight the will to breath... You take my hand and everything stops... As time moves on... Can you feel my hand as it shakes in yours? My pleas for help to save me from myself? Or... Do you just see a carefree girl smiling with glee? Please explain why you mean so much to me....

Help
I struggle with myself, I struggle with my brain it ain't that I'm a crazy it ain't I'm gone insane trauma changes people deep within the mind all that I am asking is you be the loving kind, I gotta thinkin problem some things invade my thought, I don't know when it happened or if it was something I was taught, so tell me I'm annoying but don't say that I'm bad tell me I am wonderful in loving me your glad, I will love you truly love cuz I am true of heart but maybe we are doomed you know doomed we were the start, but still, too not seek the beauty in the experience, seems to me a waste of both our precious precious time when loving could be so amazing exciting an sublime I only ask you try be present be with me open up your mind and heart only then we will see if to love so unencumbered will set our love so free, only then we will know- if you an I were ever - REALLY meant to be.

tell me i'm annoying
Don't ignore me I'm standing right in front of you My heart still beats And yet you stare right through it Like I'm not even there I beg for your acknowledgment Still you don't listen I feel like I don't exist Life becomes meaningless And still You ignore me
