#wornout
Feeling mighty Feeling mighty fine Mighty fine and thin Thin and all worn out All worn out and heavy Bellied ordinary Dense and not too smart Frayed and torn apart Feeling barely able Translucent and unstable Underwhelming, overwired Saggy skin of a bad liar Feeling crowded, also lonely Feeling trapped inside my body Like I’d leave it all behind Like I’d pulverize my mind Like a shellfish, dumb and selfish, Only focused on my needs Though I’ve always had my feed Politely asking to be freed From this self that I perceive

Feeling mighty
The last green leaf on the tree And the labor-and-delivery nurse at hour eleven, The ancient peeling bathroom wallpaper And the old dog, The third shift gas station attendant And the 20-year-old converse at the back of the closet, The moon in the morning And the sun at night, And me.

Tired
Numb Beating my head like a pounding drum Numb Not stupid, not dumb Just numb Nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs Numb I'm so done Numb It's grown to an awful hum All I am is Numb

Numb

You must, You just must surround yourself with people who respect you, Give regard to those who do not The path down the hill of contempt Is one not well-kept You might hear this often I do, I guess I know it’s a lot easier to write this than to do But once you leave, you will feel free Your company should never make You feel hostile and trapped You’re worn out and It’s uneasy and uncomfortable You don’t need an explanation to leave Havoc and abhorrence That’s they’re own doing There may never be a consolation to these type Of toxic relationships But that’s the beauty of free-will You are in charge of ones discretion It may be unrequited, unsettling for them But think about you now Liberate yourself Respect yourself … let them go & now, be free

unrequited consolation
I've tried time & time again , Tried making everything right. Tried fighting the good fight  in myself , thinking it'll all be okay ;thinking that one day you'll love me for me or even love that I'm all about being alone then actually committing to somebody... I live this dark struggle of life struggling mother, no father , unexplained ailments & falling disorders ; this life will never be easy as I try cry & pretend to be happy when I'm just dying inside hoping to go on one day to world of spirits but I'm not gonna quit until I feel happy Happy not only for me but those around me & that the right one will find me & Turn these dark struggles into dust lines & calm that rough storm brewing inside of me ...                                         ~Chilled

Tired of trying
And I don't know if I can do it anymore              Water is calling to soak up my body                              To float and be free                                    No gravity                  It would feel like I was floating                                            Dead.                   could be dead in the water

Dead in the Water
Not a thing matters when you waste your life in bed Not a thing matters when your mental shocks are dead Not a thing matter when you've nearly lost your head Not a thing matters when there's nothing left to shed c.b.

To be Adjusted
A strong weariness has taken over the worn out shell that is my own no amount of rest can cure As each day passes more reasons will be made to give into temptation and revert to old habits from simpler times Though these thoughts will linger they will be nothing more than faint whispers through the night If these days find ways to go on than I must do the same

Rise
Life is not running smoothly at the moment. I feel alone, directionless and desperate. I am worn out, emotionally and physically. Sometimes the burden of “keeping myself safe” is too heavy. It is asking too much of me to “manage” all of... the follies, the nightmares, the triggers, the shame, the embarrassment, the rage the internal voices who scream and cry and rage… all with no support. It is too much! And trying to avoid all of that **** is like avoiding breathing, which I would not mind doing right now. Something has to give. There is only so much one person can deal with day in and day out every single day and night! There is only so much! I am not equipped to handle an entire Pie of Crazy

Hot slice of crazy pie!
I'm just done. Today was lame. It being never ending. So, I am finished. No more. The end. Goodbye. Glad it's over. Never to experience it again. Too much ******** from everyone. Nothing wanted to work. A screaming grumpy kid. With copious amount of lack of sleep. I am just done. This isn't a cry for help. or me begging for attention. I am just done with today.
