teeth flash white, jaw snaps carnivorous, ravenous emaciated beastly, starving thing terrible in it's fury confined no longer violence, a staple peace is a foreign concept, home is where hearts stop primordial urge adrenal hunger, straining Against iron chains. calloused, chafed raw visceral instincts woken from a brumal sleep

The Caged Wild
Twenty days ago I taped a blade to my wall And let it gather dust without me Twenty days ago I heard my picture frame fall and saw the sea creature inside it Twenty days ago And I still can't stop thinking about it Every night I still writhe for cutting Squirm for blood and Yell for pain Tonight is upsetting I feel a blade resting on my skin Yet I don't pull it closer For maybe tomorrow will be worse I'm rightfully clean for the first time Since July last year And all winter Four years ago. I said not to cut 'til my concert May 28th, Or ten days from now. But will ten more days than twenty make me feel any less sick? If it's like this at twenty, What'll it be at thirty? Does anything ever go away for real? Have I ****** myself to a life Of constant choking urges? From now until forever?

Twenty Days and Forever
8 am In class Three days clean Dizzy Heavy breathing Alone Silence Too many thoughts Urges No blade No bathroom break Glances Heat Aching Inescapable Isolation Squinting eyes Full of feeling Mouth watering Pain Urges

Urges
The girl in my dreams doesn’t want to be left alone, The girl in my dreams can’t be left alone On she’ll suffocate under Pressure Guilt Words That scar. The girl in my dreams is never truly happy, Always hiding behind a mask Saying “I’m fine” when her whole body Is on fire And all her muscles Are frozen. The girl in my dreams is scared of herself, And what she might do If she is left Alone.

Alone
This ain't love but what I feel Hatred anger and more to steal Every glance upon your neck Is just me making sure, to check I need to know who you are Before you go and step to far Don’t you smile that at me Soon enough, We'll be three My stomach hurts and feels obtuse I will only ever break our truce Anger fills my eyes and breaks my nose I’ll never be you, I suppose No, one day I will, don’t yet forget Steal your body and take your bet It's not an act of malice, swear More than one of need, I’m the bear.

Becoming Bear
I know I shouldn't, but I do— savour it, because its the last time. That’s what you said last time. And here you are, veins reopening, rubies spilling down your wrists, beautifully. My vision clouds, but her voice cuts through, “You always coveted pretty things too much.”

Is there another girl? Was I not enough? How can you not talk to me? I never heard your voice, but I can't forget your words. It's been nine days and you haven't even acknowledged that I want to talk Just tell me if you want to go And tell me if there's another girl you love One's that closer to you, probably in your bed and not 18 hours away and who's the complete opposite of me Is she pretty, kind, **** and everything I never was? Or i'm overthinking this whole thing. And you're just really busy. You swore you love me, but where are the clues? You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days. Of course I trust you I just need some reassurance sometimes

The day I’ve outlined in my head I don’t know what will become of my life until then But I hope I can erase the date Before I erase myself from this world

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.

Randy. By Xavier M
Morphisms ignored You seed sour schisms Divide & bleed Bluster-concealed claw of iniquity Blink & you'll miss misdeeds Bleak greed breeds alacrity Mimic predators Crack fatigue Shoved in your leaking maw Sweet as a fatal flaw niggling Raw needs wriggling Impelled again to begin again Fresh meat, feed me, let me sin again Defeat just past the next win But when Actions unsating swiftly flow Satisfaction ebbs Objectifying friend & foe This spluttering glut will not quench So‽

Fission
The taunting flow of crimson Clouds my judgment It calls me And I answer Will we play this game my whole life? Will the temptation sink it's teeth into my heart? I want to be free of this But the red crimson flow reminds me of who I am Sick Twisted Lonely And afraid Of myself? ... I contemplate the possibility But I cannot answer Because I don't know

...
I imagined the softness of two lips sharing a moment, the sweet pressure of personal gravities pulling two people into a collapsing orbit, how fingers fit, how the taste of her lips would push me on to higher states of desire. I dreamed of being one, two bodies combined by the passion that has defined my species for quite some time. I wanted to be fulfilled, by a fantasy, but fantasies do not equal reality. The arithmetic does not add up one bit. So, I settle for a self-purging of this urgent ****** urging, that is overworking my human system.

my biggest fantasies involve playing magician and assistant make myself disappear into thin air without an onlooking audience to wonder why or how explanations withheld run off to nowhere only to realize nobody is chasing me and the only thing i am running away from is myself

escapism
Tie a knot in twine. Stop a thought in time. Cut a rope, slit a throat. Floors and walls the blood will coat. Resist evil. Remain pure. Do not feed these thoughts which stir.

I told myself I was different I didn’t excessively bleed No one could see anything I was doing just fine. To me cutting became expected. For others it wasn’t okay, but for me? Just a daily routine As normal as brushing my teeth.

flowing need
I am afraid I'll be sad forever Nothing brings out a smile When I am down I often forget It is only for a while I am scared I'll never be fixed My broken heart will never mend When it's aching it feels like Pain might not ever come to an end I fear my instability Urges to make a deep incision Temporary emotions pushing me Towards a permanent decision

Permanent Decision
I am suffocating. I can't get you out of my head, please go away. So I can go back to my simple life, the one without your smile, without your brilliant blue eyes, without your voice. Why would God put you in my life... if it wasn't meant to work between us? The thought of your shiny blonde hair, your mouth sliding in and out of mine. I can't breathe. I stay high, so I don't have to feel you right. I'd have to say I'm addicted, I should stay away. But these urges I can't fight. I can't breathe I am suffocating

I'm Suffocating
We all have a hunger For more Than what we have, To be something we’re not Not all itches are meant to be scratched

Hunger
You make me want to kick and scream Because I hate that I love you and hate you all at the same time Break the plaster Shatter the dishes Destroy the photos Ensure there is no proof of us here Because I believe now that love is a lie A myth to get us all twisted On reality and illusion A trick to reel us in When in truth it is a sin The amount of destruction That results from this word Let’s start from this apartment Then we’ll investigate the world Love creates peace But where does peace exist? I’ve lost faith and I am petrified Of what results from this loss of light I punched a hole through the wall And saw myself on the other side A simple reflection Terrifying when it comes through Like a mirror Existing in another dimension

Violent Urges
ever get those words flowing into your head? and you have this urge to write it down. because you know if you don't, it'll be lost forever into the abyss of your mind? i get that a lot... and i can' write it on my phone, because i'd miss that sound of my pen scratches through the rough paper. and sometimes, its the only sound i hear in this quiet room.

i can't write it on my phone
It' odd to not be sure how you're feeling To not know what's going on inside your own head You're a mystery that can only be solved by yourself Sometimes I feel like people can control if They want to feel something or not For them it's a switch It's not so easy for me It takes a lot just to block it out The pain,                 The thoughts,     The urges... It's hard to control an urge Your gut and your mind says "yes" Regardless of your answer Your mind is high, not letting you think straight Maybe deep down inside your heart You know it's wrong But you can't help it Feelings are so very complicated Maybe they're a curse
