One fight over
Another one follows
Battle is all we do
Causing pain and suffering
To ourselves and others
But we want to stop
And we cry
Longing for a moment of peace
Waiting for our battles to be over

a shadow

i'm a ghost barely existing present but not really a shadow of a person quiet and discrete not rocking the boat not standing out always avoiding the spotlight a mere afterthought a background character in everyone's stories with no role to play and i like it that way

ENOUGH!

There are times when I feel like tearing these pages apart, Or perhaps, throwing this BLOODY song into the fire and watching it BURN! Maybe I'll start plucking the keys from my keyboard, Or simply swipe everything off the desk. Each item shattering into a hundred pieces, Much like the fragments of my dying inspiration.

Secrets...

Secrets are things that people won't tell, Despite the greatest truths Hidden within them. Secrets are things that people lie to Cover up, In fear of you finding out what's Real. Sweetie, here are a few secrets That I feel must be shared, Because they've been kept for Far Too Long. You are beautiful. You are stronger than your weaknesses. You are unique. You are different. You are perfect. You are not defined by your sadness, nor are you defined by the stereotypes. You are not broken, despite the the scars and missing pieces. You are powerful. Wonderful. Marvelous. You are a fighter. And, darling, I know no one has whispered These t

I Will Believe That You're Okay...

If you tell me you're fine, Then I won't question it. I won't ask you about the cuts, Or the bruises. I'll turn a blind eye to everything... Instead I'll ask that you join me tonight, And maybe we'll cook ourselves a little supper. Maybe you'd like to stay over? It'd be cool! We'll watch a movie, play a few games. C'mon you know how much I suck at monster hunter, Be my wingman--er, lady tonight And in the morning, let's go for a walk, There's a huge park just a short distance away. We could go on one of those nature trail things! Hell yeah? Hell yeah! And maybe, after you've had some time to think, You'll see that things ain't quite a

Guilt that eats

Maybe I should have questioned why your teeth always chattered like fingers clicking on a typewriter, and why your fingernails looked as though faint, blue ink had bled through but who questions anything but hair, makeup, and boys at the age of sixteen and maybe I should have noticed the lunches you spent doing homework, or listening to music, as you gave away your lunch, because you said you were not hungry- and I silently thought more for me and maybe I should have wondered why you walked through the hallways with pockets of graphite under your eyes, as your knees knocked together like keys on a lanyard: clink clink clank and maybe t

Introvert

Everyone's trying to get out of the shadow of their parents- I'm here trying to get out of the shadow of myself.

You're Not?

You're anorexic if you're thin You're not? Then you're obese. If you're different, you're insane You're not? Then you're a fake. If you're happy, you're hiding something. You're not? You must be emo. If you're dating, you're a slut. You're not? You must have no friends. If you're popular, you're a jerk. You're not? You're a nobody. If you're quiet, you must be disabled. You're not? You obnoxious freak. If you're you, you're wrong. You're not? Then you must be perfect.

I Like Being Weird

Whether I’m laughing in awkward situations Or crying when everybody else smiles I go from wanting to stay in bed forever To wanting to run directionless for miles Normality just feels like silent floorboards And is something I most definitely fear See I need to creak every once in a while You won’t understand but I like being weird Talking when everybody else is silent Being deathly quiet in a maelstrom of noise As I decide if I’ll be your friend today But I promise that you are not just a toy Normality just feels like empty nightscapes And is something I most definitely fear I need the stars to spell out my last name Do

Darling, Don't You Dare

To the girl who skips dinner, Because her reflection hurts more than Starving. To the boy who wears sweatshirts On hot summer days, Because he doesn’t want his mother to cry over his Scars. To the boy who weeps uncontrollably Until he falls asleep, Because it’s the only way to escape into his Dreams. To the girl who spends her days in her bedroom, Because the dark is more peaceful than her Mind. To the child who gets angry, Because no one understands. To the teens who self-harm, To the ones in recovery, To the ones that just can’t do it anymore… Stay Strong. For the girl who skips meals And the boy who wears sw

My Beautiful Mess

She smiles like the Cheshire cat Like her problems don't matter Like the stars can speak Like perhaps she can hear them She laughs like she's mad Like every moment is special Like she controls her destiny Like it's her last day on Earth She loves like a child Like she's not sorry for being happy Like her pain is pretend Like there are always second chances

Poetry and Lyrics

Can't you hear the voices?

Can't you hear the voices? As they ring inside my head Can't you see the faces? Painted in the blood so red Can't you taste the poison? As it rests upon your tongue Can't you hear the voices? No? Then you do not belong.

Castle

Come with me, little girl Let's watch the rose pedals fall Let's bury your castle And put up a brick wall Lets rip off your butterfly wings And place them in your grave The demons have come to get you You better start to behave Come with me, little girl For you can only have the gown for an hour Do they love you, or love you not, Ripping pedals off a flower Come with me, little girl Let's open your scars And bury your castle, In the girl you no longer are...

Magic Wand

Dragons fly through poison skies, their whispers in the wind Ladybugs in black sandcastles, scratches on your skin Hopscotch over quicksand, and a castle made of dirt Shining silver crowns and dancing 'round in spinning skirts Bloody, ruined princesses locked up in towers tall Watching as the prince quickly begins to fall Slowly, as the innocence does take her darling life Please do watch now, as the magic wand becomes a knife...
