Candid
Amongst the pages of grocery lists and budgets
I've come to write about suicide
Looking at Taz, I cherish him
Like others, he is better off without me
I am pregnant and I see children everywhere
Even myself, a lost child who is angry and sad
Six-year-old me would be so disheartened
If she saw the loner I have become
Don't you dare say it out loud
No one will love you if you don't love yourself
Is it better to stay alone?
Than burden someone with that task?
I cut them off, they reach out
But I can't see them through...

Starcrossed lovers
They say the eyes are the window to the soul but his hold the cosmos
If you look close you can see the galaxies
It's hard not to get lost in my daydreams
For thine soul longs for thee
I want to make love to every crack in his being
If you look close you can see the galaxies
It's hard not to get lost in my daydreams
For thine soul longs for thee
I want to make love to every crack in his being

Bid You Farewell
You told me once
That you wouldn't hurt me twice
But here we are again
My heart aches as I bid you farewell
I thought what we had was special
A once in a lifetime experience
You know, you meant the world to me
But I guess it was all just in my head
It's hard to have to let you go
After all the laughs we shared
Still as pretty as the day we met
Your smile a ray of sunshine
If I leave you, my dear
How will I survive without your touch
Without your hand grasping mine
Fingers intertwined
That you wouldn't hurt me twice
But here we are again
My heart aches as I bid you farewell
I thought what we had was special
A once in a lifetime experience
You know, you meant the world to me
But I guess it was all just in my head
It's hard to have to let you go
After all the laughs we shared
Still as pretty as the day we met
Your smile a ray of sunshine
If I leave you, my dear
How will I survive without your touch
Without your hand grasping mine
Fingers intertwined

Phantom Mask
I don’t want to be a writer anymore.
I don’t want to feel the constant need to pick up a pen and paper to get my feelings out.
All because simply my mouth is zipped shut.
The only way to hear anything about me is through my writing. It's the only way I feel, I touch, I see, it's the only way I am me. I'm constantly putting on a show for others so I don't have the unbearing thoughts of if they will like me or not. But with writing I can show the true me. Saying things that I could never tell a person. My heart just wants to be liked by others and I'm tired of hearing how...

Sitting here with a gun to my head
Getting ready to pull the trigger
Do it
The reasons all keep mounting up
The pile is getting bigger
Do it
All alone no one would care
If they did where are they now?
Do it
They use me up and toss me aside
This I no longer allow
Do it!
Just one little squeeze is all it takes
Make all the pain go away
Do it!
Everything good in my life I destroy
There's no reason for me to stay
DO IT!

Outdated
Sometimes things
are outdated
sometimes things
don't work
Sometimes you have to give up
And realise it’s not worth it
But then you
Feel like a failure
And you want to try again
And in the end you think was it all worth it
No not really!

When I'm in my car
When I'm in my car I think about things
Like the buzzards that always loiter over the highway,
And the orange hue sinkining into its asfault,
And the 1968 Volkswagen Bug that's been sitting on the shoulder for 3 days,
And what I'm going go wear tomorrow,
And the eyeless shadow figures peering in at me,
And how many opossums get hit by cars on this stretch of road every day,
Probably explains the buzzards.
I also think about why I hate my job so much
And if any of the shadow figures thought I was hot,
And if the person who drove the...

Off Rosetta Ave
Possible Trigger: Sexual Assault*
My mother
told me
to never walk alone
at night.
I never
listened to her
until I got a good fright.
He grabbed my hair
from behind
and pulled me down
with force.
He straddled me
and covered my mouth
with no remorse.
With a knife in his hands
his words were
“I won’t hurt ya, if you play nice”.
With my life in my hands
my thoughts were
should I roll the dice?
I closed my eyes
and stayed still

Echoed Trill
Mommy, they're causing me strife,
My wings, they just won't come to life.
They said it's a game we'd be playing,
But now, it's tears that I'm spraying.
Mommy, where can you be?
Mommy, come set me free.
I hear your fearful trill, it's quite a chill,
To the sound of your voice, I'm flying.
Who are they, my little one?
Don't give up, the day is not done.
As fast as I can, I'm running,
I promise to help, I’m Coming.
Mommy, they are causing me pain,
The fire on my wings, it's been slain.
I tell them it's hard to...
My wings, they just won't come to life.

I'll Be Brief.
I'll kiss my suicide note goodbye,
thick red lipstick stains;
"I no longer wish to live this life,
with love, yours truly".
Spritz the paper with my favorite cologne
and I'll have effectively left a replacement
to fill the chasm that should have been occupied
by a better child, better sibling, better worker, better lover, better person.
I'll take the page from the prettiest notebook I have,
rewrite it again and again until the letters look nice enough
to be the last thing you remember of me.
I will make art ...
