my body is spent
but my mind's still reeling
why can't I shake
this sinking feeling?

don't worry love,
you're gonna shine one day.
maybe it won't be for long
and maybe it won't be that bright
but my love,
you're gonna shine one day.

they tell us we aren't enough
they tell us that we're outcasts
waiting for a death sentence
using our own hands.

but our scars tell a story
a story we survived
a story no one else knows
except you and I.

put down those razors
you can fight this
you can heal
put down that alcohol
you can overcome
and conquer your sadness
put down those drugs
you can break it
and live to see another sunrise

put down your pens
you're done writing this chapter
tell your story to someone else
your story of survival

A comment and a couple likes
is something, but it won’t suffice
there’s fruit down here, it’s free to take
but it’s too ripe to suit my tastes

this ain’t the place that I wanna be
at the bottom of this poet tree
as they all ripen, heavy fruits
come down and knock me for a loop

but still I sit, knots on my skull
can’t find a branch to get a hold
the bark’s too smooth to get a grip
so every time I try, I slip

a couple scrapes, some minor cuts
they sting, but I don’t give a ****
because the place I wanna be
is further up this poet tree

Familiarity breeds contempt.

And she was all too familiar with herself.
I love little 2 liners.
