honey
My lover has a scar Just above her hipbone; It's not a small **** a forgotten accident. They're words - Straight lines she etched Deliberately, Slowly, Painfully. I trace my fingers softly, Not to wake my love, But I can't soften their bite. Words of cruel warning, An order, imperative. Commanding, even faded, Echo a silent scream. They mock me, mock us, For they still have a hold: She is only half mine. They hurt me, cold, Like unblinking eyes, Knowing that she stares back Every day. I barely brush them, Intruders on soft skin, Indelible scripture Of darkness within. And they keep whispering: don't eat.

Scars
Words never said Only written down Never seen by anyone Never noticed The smile on my face It's only fake My happy attitude only comes from force Leave it to me To see a tool A box cutter And only think about stealing the blade Not for cutting a box though Written words Words unspoken Silence is the loudest scream Tell that to everyone else Written words Not on paper but skin Written words Not with ink but blood Scars forming Never to go away again

Written Words
My palms are cold and ****** Your name stains my tongue I prefer sleeping with my eyes open Bloodshot eyes and boiling skin I can’t believe they let you out Randy, Was it worth the laugh Does my blood still stain your hands Do you close your eyes and remember me I want you to feel the pain you drove into my veins The smile you craved into my brain stains my teeth My smile likes yours I no longer know myself My childhood smells of tears and blood But all you cared about was a rub and some *** Using a woman as your toys, you see them as objects You see me as an object no longer will I be yours Randy, was it worth the laugh you had that night Before the cops came and shocked your night Shocked your life and made your night a living hell. My brain still screams in agony at the sight of your name.

one hundred and thirty six
i'm stuck in this bomb of a body; heels pressed into the knowledge that things will always go wrong. finger cocked on the hair-trigger that is my mind; whether the blast will go inwards or out no one knows. either way, the result will hurt everyone close to this disaster that is me and myself; the only thing  i can be trusted to do is sabotage my health - i fail on purpose at everything else,

Stuck
i feel like someone is trying to pry open my ribcage with a crowbar like the doors to a closed bar ready and wanting to drink in the rage sitting in my heart the only question is: will they reach it before I die and anger flows out of my body on the wings of relief?

So you accidentally cheated, ***** a young girl to death, Preying on other's wives Stole your employer's cash Committed several atrocities, You were all smiles till you got caught, Someone got to your head, It's witchcraft So you play the victim The demons were at play Beg for forgiveness While you blame it on the devil.

I plead the devil.
Residential Treatment it isn't what I thought it'd be I don't know what I had in mind Perhaps a place to heal, a place to unwind But we delve into my conciousness Past the men who toyed with me and past the things you'd done to me, further till my blood ran cold two figures a child a man my hand in his as they walk down the corridor masked by darkness I dared to cast a glance at him My eyes returned to the hardwood floor He opens the door A dark room, I'm filled with dread my stomach drops And then it stops We're driving home back in your memory In your truck, the place where you hurt me Your vile touch Black eyes of greed Why do I feel safer, here in the arms of a predator than where that man took me?

The bottle has a lot of words Like a flock of flightless birds. It tells me not to exceed two Just like my friends telling me not to exceed heartbreaks from you. You tell me to take eleven So that I wont go to heaven. But I ended up taking thirteen So that my vision turned green. I started getting dizzy And the world was going fizzy. Which way was up, and which way was down? My vision started turning brown. My stomach started to ache My mind started to break. The tears kept falling And i kept bawling. The ground was so cold as I laid there waiting for oblivion I felt like I was done. I couldn't handle the colours no more so I shut the door. I laid on my bed looking at the clock And glanced at the door lock. I shut my eyes calmly As my arms rested near me. The clock struck one And I was done.

Do not exceed..
I sit on the rooftop Not two feet away from the edge. Not two feet away from a release So sweet I can taste candy On my tongue. From the Siren’s song Playing in my head So clearly That I hum along. I feel temptation’s kiss On my lips – So soft Softer than any man before. But even as I look down At the concrete and grass below That beckons me closer Into their warm embrace – I turn away. Because the unknown After that leap Terrifies me more Than tomorrow Or the day after that.

The Day After That
i am broken like a carousel off its axis; lost, because I have to figure out how to fix this shattered mind with no blueprints for what a stable one looks like; hopeless, in a world that shoves happiness and recovery down my throat anyway; someone who lives only for the sake of others those who mistakenly believe i can be saved; soulless, because for all that i feel none of those emotions touch me deep enough to pull me out of this void i'm living in. i am. dying and already dead inside.

i woke up sad, wondering when will i be glad? i saw a blade, i cut, hoping scars will fade, i wish i could be happy, but i feel so ugly, having depression is not fine, people seeing your scars feels like you've committed a crime, people asking if im okay, of course i will smile and say im okay, people trying to help me, ******* sake, stop pretending, oh gee i am smoking and cutting, hoping one day i would be dying, everytime i close my eyes, hoping sadness flies, i feel so alone, all i do is frown, everyone left, save me from my self;

Depression
Will I find you in the shadows looking over me Will there be you or it is just the continuation of recurring hallucination. It is getting trickier to place you between the imaginary and real you both out to mess around me your madness is catching me the shady creature filling my head space. Manipulative ways simply tracking my businesses connecting into the web stalking at all time triggering an all kind paranoia. Invading in was easy but the red light is on between the scenes the mask flew away true colours will come out. Holes in your plans aren't as visible to you the green figures through the night vision has come to play too this exposure to the truth keeps me sane you got a new player in this game. I am counting the days waiting for you in the shadows to watch you fall into your traps.

in the shadows
The knife slid smooth across smoother skin, A thrilling thing, a winning sting, Blood bubbling up like syrupy scarlet wine. Alarm bells felt like fireworks to celebrate the first time, “That’s dangerous!” the brain screams, eyeing the **** aghast “It’s exciting.” the body sings, sighing dreamily and relaxing finally, I’ve found a way out, I think, somewhere between the two. To bleed is not to die, but certainly it holds the key, Perhaps someday, some night in the haze of the absence of sleep, I’ll reach for my razor and cut so deep, That all there will be left to do is bleed and bleed and bleed

A Cheap Imitation of Sylvia Plath
today i woke up feeling superly enraged again, numerous of problems that i have to face faking smiles, making strong words, so people would trust today i woke up wishing i wasn't here, in this house i don't know maybe somewhere else, not with this family yelled at, cursed upon, always told me i'm lazy as **** little do they know what i wonder at night when i'm alone in bed, staring at the ceiling or even during the day, basically anywhere, "am i lazy? nah, i get things done, how am i lazy?" little do they know how thoughts swarm my head right after what they do and or what they say, "i need to calm myself, what should i do?" and then grabbing a laptop or a paper to write you know, if i was lazy i wouldn't be grabbing anything cause i would just cry or yell at people but then again i'm not as calm as what personality tests describe me: "just like water" yeah, you mean, "easily wrecked and one touch finishes all" today i woke up feeling superly energized energized to work, to do things, positively, and then it instantly drains me, like sugar rush, last but not least, energized to **** who? myself – billiondays

calm?
They say that suicide survivors are usually relieved when they don't succeed their attempt. Some are even happy. I am not one of those survivors. I don't like having to explain why I have such deep scars on my wrist; Or apologize when I slur and stumble over my words when I'm sober because all of the pills that I overdosed on effected my brain. I don't like having to live with the realization that I'm even a failure at killing myself. I have to live not seeing a future. When people ask me where I see myself in ten years, I have to lie. I make up some stupid, cliché response like "married with kids." or "super rich with my **** together." When really I'm actually thinking to myself, "I don't see myself anywhere in ten years because I plan to be dead before then." I may of made it 18, and to 21, and to 23 but I will be ****** if I make it 30. There is no future for me.

Trigger Warning.
The numbness of old, once scabbed over scars The ones where you went too deep, Should've gotten stitches. But instead you sent your hopes to the stars For them alone to keep, But they don't listen. Medicine and serotonin All that seems to matter in the grand scheme Aggravation and empty promises Let me not fall back into that bottomless ravine They say when you wake up with a start (Like you fell from a cliff and hit the ground,) They say that's your soul, another part Of you that died without a sound. Our love is ravenous and consuming us alive I hope in the end we make it out side by side I grind my teeth and bite my tongue Say not the ways my mind has come undone For your safety I keep myself around For our sanity we love each other unbound Should you choose to turn around And walk the other way; My heart will beat its last for you. First loves never really count- But the last one, I hope it never fades, The last one, I hope is you.

Your touch haunts me.  I feel you in the most intimate places. Possessing my soul.  Not even a priest can save me from you.

Haunting
I tried to make it easy for myself. To give it up. I used to sit around pick at my food, and wonder how many pounds I would need to lose. I had a goal set in my mind. I wasn't ready to stop. It was becoming my time. All the constant compliments on my weight, didn't care if I saw the light of day, as long I was skinny, I was happy. I was pretty. Now the world's a pretty ****** up place. But when you have BDD you think you're a disgrace. I pushed and pulled and tried to mold my body, into something I wasn't. That's not even the ****** part. I used to take the pills, chug the water. Was ashamed to call myself my parent's daughter. I was praying for something to come. And while it seems real dumb because according to you I'm pretty, I don't see what you see. Me calling myself fat wasn't for attention. It was a call for help. I just wanted to mention that starving yourself won't get the job done, and if you think it will, it'll harm you a ton. So please stay beautiful the way you are. And don't lose that precious beat in your heart. You're the only you there'll ever be. I love you for you. I just don't love me for me.
