I scream at her. I tell her she's ugly And too loyal, That she doesn't work hard enough. She is not enough. She is nothing. I wail at her That she is too open, Too soft, Too forgiving. That everything she gets She deserves. I scream awful tears and hit her. She shatters- I stare at my bloodied hands and broken mirror. I am nothing.

She is Nothing (Part 1)

I scream at her. I tell her she's ugly And too loyal, That she doesn't work hard enough. She is not enough. She is nothing. I wail at her That she is too open, Too soft, Too forgiving. That everything she gets She deserves. I scream awful tears and hit her. She shatters- I stare at my bloodied hands and broken mirror. I am nothing.

This morning, it was hard for me to get out of bed. I was so tired, I was so willing to lay down, Rest, And give up But I didn’t. I got out of bed, Got dressed, And got ready for school Most people only think about the war that comes with depression and anxiety They don’t tell you about the many little battles Battles I’m learning to overcome They’re not easy battles, But for the first time in a long time, This morning, I won.

A beautiful flower perfection Yet, it still drowns with too much rain. Too much power casts a shadow Even a perfect flower wilts the same. There is no ignoring a diseased garden, that is riddled with pain. I am that garden that rain that shadow. Afraid I will **** you, my perfect flower, in just the same way.

I am the Rain

A beautiful flower perfection Yet, it still drowns with too much rain. Too much power casts a shadow Even a perfect flower wilts the same. There is no ignoring a diseased garden, that is riddled with pain. I am that garden that rain that shadow. Afraid I will **** you, my perfect flower, in just the same way.
