Rare but Relevant
I am damaged and unhappy
But I care about you a lot
And truth be told you get distant when I'm unhappy
I can't promise I'll be fixed
But I promise I'll never show my faults
I'll never cry or grieve over my wounded soul
I'll pretend to be happy
I'll pretend to be whole so I can keep you in my life
Even though I hurt ten times worse when I pretend
I'll still do it because the warmth of you being mine means a lot more to me than expressing my true emotions

•like clockwork,
  her day would begin
•pressures of life like no
one could imagine•toting the
crushing weight upon her tiny shou-
lders•responsibilities and expectations that
would overwhelm before she falters•she'd ***-
ble as she groans her duress•her skin would crack
to release pent up stress•then there would come a day
•her exhausted veins would rupture and then give way
•she has the most terrible temper•but we would still flock
to her•
why?*........when time and again she offers us strife•

simply because she provides,
she gives us life•

WickedHope
you hear the crash
shattered glass
shards fall like tears
and scatter like ashes
sharp angles glitter
glitter and shine

don't touch
don't help
don't salvage
don't hold


do not touch the glass
you'll smudge the reflection
leave prints
don't leave prints
when you let go they'll be left behind
burning deep into the fibers
like hands holding embers
like scars of war
cuts will leave scars
so

don't touch
don't help
don't salvage
don't hold


the broken glass leaves stains on your hands
on your clothes
on your mind
on your heart
blood pumping
blood pouring out
blood run cold
more than a fracture
jagged edges that will never fit the same

so *don't touch me*.

I know it may seem odd
But sometimes
I can be in a crowd
And still feel alone
