#self-injury
I remember the weight of his body Towering over me, Ensnaring the torn mesh of my skin, Concealing the crevices he's embedded me in. The mass of his force, That spark traveling through his velocity, Littering my ability, To resist and penetrate the vein of impalpable pleasure. He keeps it contained, At the bottom of the river, Beneath the hidden plain, Of his repressed, departed soul. Acetic fizzed, frothing exhale, Pirouetting through my nose. Its toxicity starts to unfold, And he wants me to recognize   The power of his redundant trickery Engraved in his smirking bloodshot eye.

Embedded
You told me I was too good to cut myself, So I put down the blade, because I wanted to be perfect in your eyes. But now my chosen method of torture Is picking up the phone And scrolling through your ******* Instagram feed Because seeing how happy you are without me is a scarless form of self destruction. Because at the end of it all, I spilled my soul and blood and tears in your name And mine isn't even worth the waste of your breath.

it's 10:42, and all i want is you. this room keeps spinning and spinning, and i don't know what to do. there's eighteen different voices demanding i make these choices because, girl. it's the bottom of the inning. stop. there are too many noises. it's okay. it's all in my head. still my veins are dripping blood red. oh, how i wish i could go back to the beginning, but i sit here hoping that i'll just drop dead. so here's to a stroke of luck, to life not being able to **** to having you back because then i'll be winning instead of crying my eyes out like a pathetic ****

*Is way of expressing the pain that I seem not to be able to talk about. It is how I cope with feeling numb. It is how I cope when I have so many emotions I can't even begin to name them. I self injure to hide the pain I feel. I self injure and nobody knows but me. I am me I can not change that Right now self injury is a coping skill. I am trying to find new coping skills to learn how to deal with things. I can sometimes make those other skills work for me, but on a day like today it seems to be the one reliable thing that I know will help me get through the rest of the day.*

Self Injury
I had the wind ripped out of me, like i was bleeding under cotton wraps and a galaxy was exploding from my veins. there’s glass everywhere and you’re still deflating my lungs, begging me to rest we were childhood friends and i only knew of you but you stuck thorns in the carriage of my rib cage. i got a paper cut and cried, you poured salt on my withering roses, and they died in the haze of that hot summer. i’m going to rot just like you, like the trees like the birds and i’m sorry I let myself live before you but i wanted to hold on to the taste of winter.

apology
You say that you can't take it anymore The teardrops hit the floor Drowning in the sea But you're never going to be free Your thoughts are only screams There's nothing to say Except "I'm okay." Blood pouring like rain Yet there's no pain

The End
*There was love all around, until I was taken from the ground.* Now you look up at the stars every night, just hoping that everything will be alright. I see the coldness of the metal against your skin. *But I can't stop it now when you're already inside my head.*

Sudden Death
Now it happens very quick! Shh don't tell anyone but I'm quite sick! All the pins drop and the clocks all tick. Everything comes crashing down on everyone but me. Oh can't they see my ***** little secret? It leaves scars that nobody ever seems to see!

***** Little Secret
The trees that bear no leaves, and one single red bird that sits upon the only evergreen tree. Well this is the kingdom of isolation, it has a broken Queen. The only sounds that nobody ever hears are her silent screams. The screams of the past she can't let go, oh how they echo. Well this is the kingdom of isolation, where the floors are covered in broken glass and crimson snow.

Kingdom Of Isolation
Well I've tried to sleep, but sleep won't come. Will the evil come back for me? It might. The thoughts of them are in black and white and they're a warning light. Why can't they just leave me alone? I can't escape my horrid dreams, oh they follow me until all I hear are screams. They're drowning me in my own tears, as I go down all I see is my fears. Fire spreads through the crowd, and I fall to the ground. Will the evil come back for me?

Nightmares
I blanket myself within torment and pain, Refusing to peek into the ever soft light. I tear at my flesh with a blade, Hoping that doing so would end my fright. I cry myself to sleep using my tears as lullabies, Only to sleep a nightmare filled never-ending slumber. I wake forcing my limp body out of bed, Knowing that by nightfall the sorrow that the day would bring, Is the only thing that I'll care to remember.
