I know I should start but my bed is too soft, my phone too loud, and honestly, math can wait. I’ll do it later. Yeah, later. Maybe after this video or this game or after I finish staring at nothing. The clock is ticking, my brain says panic, but my body says nah, chill. Tomorrow looks nice anyway.

I will make tiny bets on brown sugared eyes and a lightly lifted chest We will make one tiny bet on a month with no name and a boy, with no head

Oh where, oh where is the puppeteer? Surely he's moved on to another career Up and left a lot of us just hanging here Swung gently by a lonely gust of meandering air As we masquerade as some fleshy chandelier What could've happened to cause a reaction so severe? No surprise to the wise that a why has never been made clear Knowing nothing but to my right is doubt, to my left is fear Needless to say, that's all I'm privy to hear Day in and day out, long enough that it's easier to tally by the year I was unaware that a situation could even be cavalier I've held onto memories that now serve as an unwanted souvenir And no one can know for sure, but I believe I just shed my last tear But that doesn't mean the emotions disappear, no, they just blur and cohere With a jump scare they premiere as unfamiliar in a mirror But I have no desire, I don't have the will to explore a new frontier Hey, look here, is that salvation or an end that draws near? I'm going to stick around just to be clear on who's here Cause I've been fool before by an imposter Paul Revere ©2024

I am a terrible person for what I know I have to do But I am only human and deserve to be happy too I am used to depression It's been a long time friend But as long as we are together it surely won't end Not because you abuse my body or my feelings But because you aren't helping the **** with which I'm dealing You may be sweet but you make me feel sour Quiet because it is easier to cower Than to pick a fight that is impossible to win Aggravation works it's way further under my skin You are supposed to have my back Clearly you do not You throw me under the bus without a second thought I wish I would have waited before rushing in headfirst It seems with bad judgement I am hopelessly cursed An impatient creature Now both are paying the price Because I am too foolish to stop and think twice I know you will be angry You have every right to be But I have faith that in the future you will see That this decision really is for the best It only gets harder the more time we invest I know deep cuts now are engraved on your soul It wasn't my intention to carve out a hole But attraction has slowly shifted to dismay "I love you" is a phrase that toward you I'll never say The way I looked at you changed after our first fight And has only grown worse since that night I held on hoping situation would improve And one day of your actions I'd actually approve But our relationship dies a little bit more Each time you do something that I deplore My eyes are finally open to who you really are Too bad to see it took getting this far This whole time I've held on wishfully thinking It will get better but problems aren't shrinking I'm ready for this to be over Yearn to be free Keeping your emotions safe is mentally draining me A grave is already dug now it is time to lay to rest The remains of our romance Suffered cardiac arrest You can yell if you want to or call me names Whatever it takes to break these heavy chains I have bottled up the truth for far too long Pretending it might work despite it feeling wrong I ignored my instinct in fear of loneliness But these gnawing doubts have gotten too large to repress Obnoxious ocurrences are a routine indication Of our incompatibility Leading to irritation It seems we are both holding the other down Not only do you not make me smile You widen my frown I am fully aware I frustrate you as well Without saying one word by your expression I can tell I don't want to be the source of your despair But the weight of commitment has become too much to bear I have wanted to cry out loud but kept my mouth closed But these silenced concerns beg to be exposed I think the moment is past overdue for you to hear The honest thoughts crowding my skull no matter how severe I apologize for hurting you Hope you believe it wasn't my plan I would stick it out awhile longer but am not sure that I can

I'm Only Human
I am a terrible person for what I know I have to do But I am only human and deserve to be happy too I am used to depression It's been a long time friend But as long as we are together it surely won't end Not because you abuse my body or my feelings But because you aren't helping the **** with which I'm dealing You may be sweet but you make me feel sour Quiet because it is easier to cower Than to pick a fight that is impossible to win Aggravation works it's way further under my skin You are supposed to have my back Clearly you do not You throw me under the bus without a second thought I wish I would have waited before rushing in headfirst It seems with bad judgement I am hopelessly cursed An impatient creature Now both are paying the price Because I am too foolish to stop and think twice I know you will be angry You have every right to be But I have faith that in the future you will see That this decision really is for the best It only gets harder the more time we invest I know deep cuts now are engraved on your soul It wasn't my intention to carve out a hole But attraction has slowly shifted to dismay "I love you" is a phrase that toward you I'll never say The way I looked at you changed after our first fight And has only grown worse since that night I held on hoping situation would improve And one day of your actions I'd actually approve But our relationship dies a little bit more Each time you do something that I deplore My eyes are finally open to who you really are Too bad to see it took getting this far This whole time I've held on wishfully thinking It will get better but problems aren't shrinking I'm ready for this to be over Yearn to be free Keeping your emotions safe is mentally draining me A grave is already dug now it is time to lay to rest The remains of our romance Suffered cardiac arrest You can yell if you want to or call me names Whatever it takes to break these heavy chains I have bottled up the truth for far too long Pretending it might work despite it feeling wrong I ignored my instinct in fear of loneliness But these gnawing doubts have gotten too large to repress Obnoxious ocurrences are a routine indication Of our incompatibility Leading to irritation It seems we are both holding the other down Not only do you not make me smile You widen my frown I am fully aware I frustrate you as well Without saying one word by your expression I can tell I don't want to be the source of your despair But the weight of commitment has become too much to bear I have wanted to cry out loud but kept my mouth closed But these silenced concerns beg to be exposed I think the moment is past overdue for you to hear The honest thoughts crowding my skull no matter how severe I apologize for hurting you Hope you believe it wasn't my plan I would stick it out awhile longer but am not sure that I can

Disorder The word still echoes in my head Surreal and complicated Such a heavy word Even though it's been almost a year Since things were so bad And I heard the words: Anxiety Disorder Eating Disorder Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Followed by the words: Depression Phobia Medication Each one like a lightning strike I can feel them in my veins But the most frightening Was hearing the prefix: Severe

Disordered
Age 15 the beginning and the end Age 19 and the scars still haven't mend I was a fool with nothing to lose Letting lust become my muse It happened fast without protection In his eyes lay no affection. A month passes with no monthly time The panic inside me starts to climb. Lie to my mother to get a test Sure enough there's a baby in the nest. Inside my stomach lay a beating heart Anxiety and depression begin to start. Scared beyond belief and still at school Feeling like I had just been a tool. Could I handle being a single mother Abortion? I had to pick one or the other. Or maybe I didn't have to after all. Spotting begins to start and I start to bawl. To many emotions in too young a girl. My body killed a life, guilt begins to swirl. Age 15 the beginning and the end Age 15 and made a life ascend. Age 19 and the scars still haven't mend Age 19 and still no way to amend.

Haunted Memories
1:00 am, 3:00 am ... most nights, thirty minutes without warning, restless air, chokes the pipes when controlled, it explodes in bits of yellow, orange , dark red and gray skull seems to crack ... or , is it breaking now? a darkness follows a wheezing, desiring to spew all malaise expelling bad air, while chasing fresh air praying a stillness soon rules .... . but , no, the painful exertion persists that disturbing noise just goes on, and racks one's whole being ... one's world every rib quivers ... every fiber throbs eyes and veins start to bulge as if to burst on their own... ,, ,, , for a while, a calm occurs ... yet , another dreaded episode lurks... on a dark, restless night such as this, one can only imagine ~ ~ ~ the undulating waves ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ and the blue waters ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ of the tranquil sea ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sally ~ ~ ~ Rosalia Rosario A.

I'm sorry
It feels like darkness surrounding me. It feels like monsters are everywhere. It feels like I can’t do anything to stop it. It feels like I’m saying too much. It feels like I’m not allowed to be here. It feels like I can’t stop repeating myself. If feels like I’m Broken.

“Anxiety”
I believe that every conscious being travels this road Where nothing is completely given or reached Where everything completely stop but never goes This road diverged into either the left path or right plagued with the decision of making a choice The pressure of that inner voice Speaking to you of the consequences of each action the good never out weigh the bad The consequences never worth the results The action of always sacrificing something in terms of ganging It is the road that you cannot venture away No matter where you turn you always end up returning this road is one who tampers with your mental capacity Your morality Your happiness Your individuality It happened too those before and will to those after me what a progressional tragedy

Chores
The face and body of a million others because of the 21st chromosome. The movements and quirks of a million others because of a little spectrum. The testers and medication of a million others because of a tiny chemical. Down syndrome. Autism. Diabetes. The most loving person I know.
