My lips curl
My cheeks rise
My eyes blush
My teeth hide
Remembering a happy memory makes me happier
I am having a happiness hangover
I don't want to crush the lost but beautiful juncture
They are a frame of melancholy but I still want to remember
Lke pricking my own shattered heart aiming to puncture
All these years for a once glowing but now rotten ember

Maybe I'm so used to the sweet pain of desolation
That it now all feels like mere momentary solitude
Sort of being addicted to the stench of the unbearable situation
Yet preferring to surf the fatal waves of self condemnation rather than intrude

Maybe I can walk away now,this very minute
I could develop large wings of freedom and flap away
Cause it ***** being in this cold dark cave and I mean it
I feel tired of trying to keep my monstrous passion at bay

Probably I'm the reason I haven't got any ground
Intentionally lost because I don't want to be found

Strengthen these arms
for they only exist to hold up the black canopy
that is the night sky

May these legs find purchase
on this expanse of tilth
that has received the boon of yesterday's cry

Feel the cadence of my skipping heart
resulting in the breeze of faltering breaths
lulling you as you lie

Comfort the tremors of these quivering lips
as they whisper forth
promises of mysterious galaxies and
cryptic nebulae

These eyes would cast their gaze;
assuming the role of sentry
guarding from all who would pry

My being... My entirety was put here
so that your bed would remain safe
from future's winds come silent and sly

****,
Molly,
Mushrooms,
LSD,
*******,
Crack,
Heroine,
****...

Do­ you have any idea of what this stuff is?
What it can do to someone....
How much it hurts the people that love you.

NO ONE knows what my life is like...
NO ONE knows what I've dealt with ,
How many times I've cried,
because I was scared....

Scared to lose someone I love,
Scared about what it'd do,
worried sick,
crying hard.

I just can't deal with someone else,
who I care about,
doing anything like that,
or getting hurt.

I try not to care,
so I won't get hurt,
but I can't not care,
it's just who I am...

Please don't put me
through that experience
again by doing the same thing,
I care too much to not care.

Right timing?
Trust me, in life there's never perfect timing.

Depression...
It is but only a stepping stone to
achieving happiness.
Depression is a reminder...
"Hey, you've failed once at chasing happiness
and grew stronger and smarter from it,
give it another go."
Depression is only to make happiness
that much better.

We sleep
So our darkest thoughts
Can be passed off
As nightmares
