Hangman
I lay awake in my bed
Missing someone I've never met
Longing to hear their voice say my name
To feel their hand gently caress my face
And quietly say
Those three god awful words
That my heart craves
"I love you"
Missing someone I've never met
Longing to hear their voice say my name
To feel their hand gently caress my face
And quietly say
Those three god awful words
That my heart craves
"I love you"

Teeth
When I'm not in pain
I'm high as hell
On oxycodone,
Itching my arms and legs.
Face swollen and bruised.
I'm living on mashed potatoes
And scrambled eggs.
Falling asleep sitting up more often than not.
Playing video games,
Watching cartoons.
Drinking grape soda.
Staying in bed all day.
Simple pleasures often come with pain.
I'm high as hell
On oxycodone,
Itching my arms and legs.
Face swollen and bruised.
I'm living on mashed potatoes
And scrambled eggs.
Falling asleep sitting up more often than not.
Playing video games,
Watching cartoons.
Drinking grape soda.
Staying in bed all day.
Simple pleasures often come with pain.

4 Wisdom Teeth Short
Got my wisdom teeth out today.
Suckers had 4 roots, which is rare I guess.
Started with sedatives but ended up getting propofol.
Knocked out flat.
Woke up and started crying about not being able to take a selfie with my surgeon.
Took a selfie with my surgeon and started trying to put my foot in my mouth (Literally).
Swallowed a bloody gauze pad.
Drunken stupor.
Taken home.
In bed holding my face, crying due to pain.
Take oxycodone and everything evens out.
Laughing and smiling despite blood pouring from my mouth.
Rolling over, covered in a...

Awake
I've been clean for... 5 days I think?
It's been pure hell, I'll tell you.
But it's something that I need to do nonetheless.
I need fix myself.
Because no matter how long I wait you're never coming back to help me pick up the pieces.
And I accept that.
I don't need you anymore.
I don't need your permission to be me or to heal.
I do not miss you in the slightest.
I am FREE.
I have been released; resurrected from an early grave.
I stand tall despite your attempts to tear me down.
I am alive.

Takes Two
I remember the day that we first met.
You were welcoming and non-threatening.
Friendly with a smile on your face.
And even though I was shy and quiet as a church mouse, you would listen when I spoke.
As time went on we grew closer and you welcomed me into your world with open arms.
For the first time in my life I felt like I belonged; I felt at home.
You helped me out of my shell, slowly.
You showed me that there was a world outside, though you began controlling what I was exposed to.
Though I just looked past that small part of your nature and focused on...

Bender Pt 1
Wandering the halls of an old motel at 2 a.m.
like a zombie
as rain pours in from holes in the roof and puddles form on the old, stained carpet.
My heart is pounding,
my stomach feels like it's inside out,
and my entire body is shaking.
Eyes are blood shot and glassy.
On the way here, I downed a bottle of vodka all by myself.
And before that I went to a party and grabbed two handfuls of pills from a bucket with a smiley face on it.
Hadn't slept in 4 days.
A man comes out from one of the rooms on the first floor
and tells me he's...

Unmasked
I live for
I breathe for
I sleep for
I wake up for
I eat for
I work for
I exercise for
I love for
I hope for
I smile for
I cry for
I stand up for
I dress for
I forgive for
I yell for
I heal for
I sober up for
I write for
I laugh for
I move on for
Me
Because I am my own person
And I am finally free
I breathe for
I sleep for
I wake up for
I eat for

Spring Cleaning
I always used to say that I couldn't live without you
I couldn't even imagine a day where you wouldn't cross my mind
Even when we were okay and on good terms, you still caused me a lot of pain
But I always brushed it off
Because
I truly loved you and thought it was my fault
For angering you or making you unhappy
But now I see
After 10 months of pure pain
And misery
And thinking that it was all my fault that my world came crashing down around me
That you never even loved me in the first place
Not even as a friend
And while the days...

Suicide
I am a ticking time bomb.
I have my note written
and I know exactly what I'm going to do.
I picked out a date,
a location,
and a time.
In preparation I've ceased taking my medication,
increased my alcohol intake drastically
and began smoking a pack a day just to keep my hands steady.
Taking prescription pain killers to catch some shut eye when I've nothing better to do.
I've stopped eating completely and lost 25 lbs...
Motivation is out the window and never returning.
There is only one way out of this life.
One way out of...

Dead
You took everything from me.
My life.
My ability to love.
My hopes and dreams.
My happiness.
I am dead now.
My life.
My ability to love.
My hopes and dreams.
My happiness.
I am dead now.

Sore
take another swig of whiskey
kick the chair out
and once more my world comes crashing down around me
kick the chair out

Overdose
Dark circles and bags around her listless brown eyes
Untrimmed, messy dark brown hair
Unhealthily pale skin
Dry, leathery skin wrapped around a skeletal frame
Listless dark brown eyes
A life devoted to science and mathematics
Consumed over and over by itself
Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss

Dry, leathery skin wrapped around a skeletal frame
