Why you stalling on death when it's time to embrace?
Cuz every time I close my eyes I see their face
Who? The ones who'll turn their back and leave you to rot?
You tell me they're bad for me but maybe they're not
Do you feel any better now that they are around?
Do you feel less lost now that you've been found?
Has it changed anything, does your life still not suck?
You're the one suffering, do you think they give a fuck?
I don't know, maybe they actually care ...

I'm Back!
It feels so fucking good to be back
Now its time to paint this fucking world black
Suicidal thoughts and suicidal tendencies
Fuck the attachments and these bullshit dependencies
Sinking further every day stuck in an ocean of debt
Slowly drowning inside a river of regret
Its all fucking pointless and I no longer care
I sit alone every fucking day, there's nobody there
Tired of the worrying and I'm tired of pain
Tired of the people and tired of rain
There's no sunny days when you live as a storm
Time for...

Let Me In
It was a matter of time
Til you came back to me
This positive shit aint you
I know you agree
You got these people around you
You say you want them to stay
But i know all you think about
Is how to push them away
Cuz now its become a burden
And you want to be free
Its ok, I don't mind
You can blame it on me
Cuz Im always the bad guy
The source of your stress
But when you fuck things up
Who cleans up your mess?
With your half assed ideas
About wanting to...

Checking In
Hey, how's it going?
I thought I'd check in
You may have turned your back
But I'm still your best friend
This search for the light
Hows all of that been?
Thats a rhetorical question
No need to pretend
You're feeling worse than before
I know, cuz im you
Bumbling around aimless
You don't know what to do
At first I was pissed off
Ill admit that it's true
If you love something let it go
Sometimes that works with hate too
You could never beat me
In truth I just backed away
Cuz I...

Im Gone
I have nothing left to say
So I guess its time to go
I'd like think Ill stay away
But you never really know
It has always been about release
The purpose has been met
The dark thoughts have begun to cease
No longer feel a threat
If you never see my works again
Just know that I am free
I am laying down my pen
No need to search for me
I leave behind my pain in word
If someone feels alone
Know that you are not unheard
Your suffering not unknown
So I guess its time to go
I'd like think Ill stay away
But you never really know
It has always been about release
The purpose has been met
The dark thoughts have begun to cease
No longer feel a threat
If you never see my works again
Just know that I am free
I am laying down my pen
No need to search for me
I leave behind my pain in word
If someone feels alone
Know that you are not unheard
Your suffering not unknown

Worry
I worry
Waking from a restless sleep
My mind is immediately filled with thoughts
Three kids on her own
Deadbeat dad
Trying to be strong
Working hard
Overwhelmed
Five heart attacks
Congestive heart failure
Body failing her
Living alone
Feeling hopeless
Trapped in her body
Shackled by anxiety
Dragging herself forward
Unrelenting pain
Feeling invisible
Full of self doubt
Looking for a remedy
Stricken with trauma
Missing a fathers love
Barely treading...

Dad
I look over to the shelf
A box full of ashes
All that remains of you
Happy Birthday Dad
I miss you and thats the truth
So many reasons why I shouldn't
Why I should hate you
But I don't
I forgave you for what you did
For what you were
I sent you a text before you died
I wanted you to know
I found out after that you never got it
That still bothers me
I know that you were broken
I didnt understand it then
I know now
Childhood trauma destroyed your mind
Mine...

From Dark To Dim
I think its pretty clear from my writes
The dark subject matter
That I was in a really bad place when I found DU
I needed an outlet badly
I needed to know that I wasnt alone
I was wallowing in self loathing
Death seemed like the only relief possible
In a little under 2 months this place has become quite a boon to me
Seeing others show support and share how they relate has been so therapeutic
My blunt nature and direct approach got me into some trouble
I briefly walked away because I questioned if I belonged here ...

Keep Swimming
Watching her go through this journey
Seeing the strength she has even at her young age
I feel honored to even be a small part of the growth
Im amazed at how she has managed to keep her kindness
She can turn to the darkness understandably
Yet she loves and cares for others
Even in the absence of feeling it herself at times
She reminds me of my daughters and I don't want her to feel alone
She reminds me of myself and how much I wanted my dad to love me
I know she has so much to offer this world
I can't sit by idle...

No
Crazy how 2 letters can cause me so much hesitation
The anxiety that is wrapped up inside those letters
The amount of self doubt that comes with saying them together
2 letters that drag me under like anvils strapped to my waist
Hatred and dread surround those letters
They rob me of my purpose
Erase my worth
Make me useless
Make all of this pointless
I sit with the letters on the tip of my tongue
Hoping for something else to say
But there is nothing else to say
I have no choice
No other option...
