Poet Introduction
Not sure if I'm a poet or just a girl that needs to write out her feelings
How depression feels
People always ask what depression feels like, how it feels, what goes through your head.
Imagine just existing not being happy but not being sad. Day to day nothing feels like anything.
Imagine eating your favorite food, you go to eat it but you can't taste anything, it's just gone.
Imagine listening to your favorite song that you know all the words to, but not having the energy to sing along
Imagine having a really great day, nothing went wrong you should be happy, but your not and you don't know why, your just numb
Imagine going through the day feeling nothing,...

The game
What is love?
Is it memorizing the lines in his hands fearing that they will disappear forever? Is it knowing what a look means? Is it longing for the taste of someone? Is it dreaming of a touch or embrace? Is it obsessing over the small details of ones face counting the scars on their body or the freckles on his face watching his eyelashes close and open to find a firework show of Amber and golden flakes with the tiniest hint of green strands ? The answer is no

A trial of how long can you hold on to a lie before it comes out and you are hurt

Dark
I'm drowning
Slowly but surely
I am lost
I can not find my way
I cant see
The dark has covered everything
I am depressed
Not in the way you would think
I am physically unable to feel anything anymore I no longer crave happiness because I have accepted it's absence as a statement a bold forever
I cry for myself I see myself and can't make out any features anymore I am but a blurred apparition there is nothing to me anymore I am fading away

Into the night
Arrows Pierce the sky
They fall as I cry
Into the night
Hands hold me back
I can feel my heart crack
Into the night
Love is my battle
I hear the wind tattle
Into the night
His heart makes me strong
I start to sing along
Into the night
When the Moon is tall
I don't care at all
Into the night
His hands were warm
His love a storm
Into the night
My happiness it seemed
To be only when he gleamed
Into the night
I stopped the fight
Pushed away...
They fall as I cry
Into the night
Hands hold me back
I can feel my heart crack
Into the night
Love is my battle
I hear the wind tattle
Into the night
His heart makes me strong
I start to sing along
Into the night
When the Moon is tall
I don't care at all
Into the night
His hands were warm
His love a storm
Into the night
My happiness it seemed
To be only when he gleamed
Into the night
I stopped the fight

It's okay
It's okay to not be so okay
It's okay to want to fade away
It's okay to give up and cry
It's okay to want to die
It's NOT okay to hurt you
Just because your feeling blue
It's NOT okay to not try
It's NOT okay to try and die
It's okay to love yourself
It's NOT okay to refuse help
It's okay to not give a damn
It NOT okay to need a man
You are you and that will do
White black or navy blue
You can't change the past
But you can change the stone you cast
It's okay to want to fade away
It's okay to give up and cry
It's okay to want to die
It's NOT okay to hurt you
Just because your feeling blue
It's NOT okay to not try
It's NOT okay to try and die
It's okay to love yourself
It's NOT okay to refuse help
It's okay to not give a damn
It NOT okay to need a man
You are you and that will do
White black or navy blue
You can't change the past
But you can change the stone you cast

Don't
Don't read this
Don't see Into my soul
There's nothing here anymore
Don't touch me
Don't graze my velvet skin
It is all scarred and broken up now
Don't look in my eyes
Don't inhale the icy blue
I am standing frozen in place
Don't hold my soul
The hole where it once was
It will leave only charred black reminents
Don't listen to my voice
Dry, harsh, and a sickly sound
Leaving minds crazed and ears ringing
Don't open up my mind
Endlessly running from the shadows
I can't recover...

Cut
A sliver of metal
Short and strong
Glittering in the light
Dangerous
Cunning
Sharp
A piece of flesh
Perfect
Clean
Untouched
Frail
Silky
A sharp pain
An edge of metal
Pain
Lonely
Salt streaming down a face
Landing in the gaping skin
Crimson fluid flows
Untouched perfection
A once smooth skin
Now flawed
Ugly
Inside is beauty
Outside is pain
A drip tuns into a flood
A mix of tears and blood
Unwavering
Steady
Flowing
Short and strong
Glittering in the light
Dangerous
Cunning

Lies
A tangled web of lies
Hurt me
A new lie
Use me
A new goodnight
Loved me
A new show
Abuse me
A new friend
Leave me
A hidden mark
Need me
A new cut
Bleeding
Another story
Keep me
An escape
Trap me
A tangled web of lies
And I've been set free
Hurt me
A new lie
Use me
A new goodnight
Loved me
A new show
Abuse me
A new friend
Leave me
A hidden mark
Need me
A new cut
Bleeding
Another story
Keep me
An escape
Trap me
A tangled web of lies
And I've been set free

You'll be okay
I'm not going to tell you that one day it won't hurt because it will I won't say you won't be able to see the scars because they will I'm not going to tell you that everything will be okay because it won't I will tell you to try again and I will tell you to stand up look in the mirror and see who you are because I cannot change what you see in that mirror I can't change how you feel I can't change what happened and I'm not going to because I went through that I got up I looked in the mirror and told myself that I was enough. I lied to myself in the mirror day to day until I started to believe...

You
Hurt..
I hurt
I never hurt until you hurt me
Then you hurt me
Then you did
There were so many yous but you hurt me the most
You loved me but your love was poison do you know what you did?
Or were you to drink or high to care
Do remember the things you did in the dark?
Or were you too gone to care
Do you remember the way you acted? I bet you were too buzzed to remember running about like a five year old hitting me playfully.
Do you know how old I was when I stopped having a childhood? Do you remember the day you took it away from me...

Do remember the things you did in the dark?

Do you know how old I was when I stopped having a childhood? Do you remember the day you took it away from me...
