Lion and Rabbit
These monsters in our head are real.
People say they are fake,
But they aren’t fake to the people who have to suffer through them,
Who have to feel their claws dig into them,
Their blood-stained teeth ripping through our skin and muscle.
We have to hide from these predators,
These lions,
And we are the rabbit,
Defenseless,
Helpless.
We have to wait at night at the predators stalk their prey,
Waiting to make the blood pour from our bodies,
And make us screech out in pain,
Our insides spilling out,
Our hopes and dreams...

Him
Cupid’s bow and arrow,
Shot through my heart,
Made my eyes turn to someone I never expected,
My heart leaps with joy,
My stomach flutter with butterflies.
How did I get to this point?
I can now see all his strengths,
And I love them.
I can see his weaknesses,
And I love them.
I see how he helps me,
How he encourages me,
How he supports me.
How did it get to this point?
How did I not see this before?
And I can’t help but wonder,
Is this it?
Is this what will keep me going?
Is this what will allow me to...

My Rock
He helped me,
He was my rock,
Always helping.
We would write together,
Laugh together,
Bond together.
I tried to help him,
But it was too late.
He was too far gone,
Too far in the deep abyss he was in.
His last breath was something I never knew came...until weeks later.
His friend messaged me,
Saying I’m so sorry.
I didn’t believe it,
How could I?
After feeling okay for once,
How could I believe my rock was gone?
I felt horrible,
Like it was my fault.
I couldn’t help him,
I tried but I failed, ...
He was my rock,
Always helping.
We would write together,
Laugh together,
Bond together.
I tried to help him,
But it was too late.
He was too far gone,
Too far in the deep abyss he was in.
His last breath was something I never knew came...until weeks later.
His friend messaged me,
Saying I’m so sorry.
I didn’t believe it,
How could I?

How could I believe my rock was gone?

Like it was my fault.
I couldn’t help him,

The Stars Above
I wonder about stars,
The stars that fall from the sky,
Down to the Earth,
Burning up in our atmosphere.
Do they choose to fall,
Or are they forced to?
Forced to die,
Without another chance to shine bright.
Are they left with a choice when they are falling,
Do they even get a chance to save themselves,
Or is this a forced destiny?
The stars that fall from the sky,
Down to the Earth,
Burning up in our atmosphere.
Do they choose to fall,
Or are they forced to?
Forced to die,
Without another chance to shine bright.
Are they left with a choice when they are falling,
Do they even get a chance to save themselves,
Or is this a forced destiny?

Living Hell
My inner demons kill me,
Slowly,
So so slowly.
I'm being killed,
I'm being tortured.
I need help,
But I stay quiet.
I don't want anyone to know my pain,
To see my demons,
And hate me after.
So all I do is suffer in silence,
My life being taken from my fingertips
As I fall from this earth to Hell.
I'm in a deep abyss,
Nothing but pain attacking me from all sides,
I pour my heart out to you,
And all I get is laughter,
All I get is more pain,
So I stay quiet,
I don't say a thing,
A stay in my...

Fake Smiles
I sit in tears,
I sit in pain,
My ears are filled with the sound of music
The sound of love and desperation
The sound of sadness and cruelty.
It’s the only thing that can keep me here,
Keep me in my body,
Keep my soul from escaping to another world.
I could leave,
But it would only leave tears
It would only leave sorrow.
I keep suffering for them,
So the ones I love won’t,
So the ones I love will be happy.
And maybe it’s best for everyone,
It’s best for everyone to be happy,
It’s best for everyone to succeed, ...

My Monster
Help me.
I’m screaming it in my head,
But nothing comes out but ‘I’m Fine’.
I’m being locked away for something I haven’t done,
I’m being punished,
But no crime was committed.
I’m in terrible pain,
But there is nothing to take it away.
I can’t break free of these chains,
And I’m just dying…
I’m dying with no one to help me,
With no light in my darkness,
And all I need right now is someone who will help me.
But I stay quiet.
Not because I want to,
But because he won’t let me.
He won’t let me shout or cry or scream...
I’m screaming it in my head,
But nothing comes out but ‘I’m Fine’.
I’m being locked away for something I haven’t done,
I’m being punished,
But no crime was committed.
I’m in terrible pain,
But there is nothing to take it away.
I can’t break free of these chains,
And I’m just dying…
I’m dying with no one to help me,
With no light in my darkness,
And all I need right now is someone who will help me.
But I stay quiet.
Not because I want to,
But because he won’t let me.
He won’t let me shout or cry or scream...

Insanity
My heart burning out of my chest.
They hurt me...again.
How much more of this can I take before I crumble?
How much more of this can I take before I’m destroyed?
I go back to you, like always,
But when will I learn?
Maybe this time is different,
I tell this to myself every time,
And i always get hurt again.
But I always come back…
I’m in a twisted loop,
Of being hurt,
Suffering,
Then I’m back with you.
The definition of insane is when you do something over and over, expecting a different outcome…
I’m Insane.
They hurt me...again.
How much more of this can I take before I crumble?
How much more of this can I take before I’m destroyed?
I go back to you, like always,
But when will I learn?
Maybe this time is different,
I tell this to myself every time,
And i always get hurt again.
But I always come back…
I’m in a twisted loop,
Of being hurt,
Suffering,
Then I’m back with you.
The definition of insane is when you do something over and over, expecting a different outcome…
I’m Insane.

The Moon
The moon is bright,
Her glow spreading through the air.
She shines her light,
Promising to be fair.
She helps me see through the darkness,
Always scaring it away,
Making the night harmless,
So I won't become its prey.
Then one night she'll disappear,
Making me stand in the dark once more.
My body overcomes with fear,
As the rain begins to pour.
Without her I am nothing,
Not able to keep myself alive.
She turned me into something,
So I'm not driven to suicide.
But she's stuck in her own darkness,
Not able to...
Her glow spreading through the air.
She shines her light,
Promising to be fair.
She helps me see through the darkness,
Always scaring it away,
Making the night harmless,
So I won't become its prey.
Then one night she'll disappear,
Making me stand in the dark once more.
My body overcomes with fear,
As the rain begins to pour.
Without her I am nothing,
Not able to keep myself alive.
She turned me into something,
So I'm not driven to suicide.
But she's stuck in her own darkness,
Not able to...

Flourishing
I was like a flower
I couldn't bloom,
With all the weeds in the way
There was no room.
But then you came along,
You tore out the weeds.
I began to bloom,
I was set free.
But then you left me
You left for them, saying they needed help.
I waiting for you to come back
I let out a yelp.
But you never came back,
I was stranded, left alone.
The weeds grew back
And crushed by a stone
Because of you, I'm dying
From lack of water
Because of you I'm crying
Trying to survive, not to be slaughtered
You...
I couldn't bloom,
With all the weeds in the way
There was no room.
But then you came along,
You tore out the weeds.
I began to bloom,
I was set free.
But then you left me
You left for them, saying they needed help.
I waiting for you to come back
I let out a yelp.
But you never came back,
I was stranded, left alone.
The weeds grew back
And crushed by a stone
Because of you, I'm dying
From lack of water
Because of you I'm crying
Trying to survive, not to be slaughtered
You...

Dying
My heart hurts,
I’m dying,
Slowly dying.
It starts from the inside,
A feeling I can’t shake.
It starts at my core,
A feeling of despair,
A feeling of hopelessness,
A feeling of fear and sadness.
It spreads outwards,
Going to my limbs,
Filling me with these feelings.
I stare off into an abyss,
And wait.
I wait for my monster,
Knowing he’ll show up,
Knowing he has come to end me.
I’m slowly dying,
And i can’t stop it.
I’m dying,
Slowly dying.
It starts from the inside,
A feeling I can’t shake.
It starts at my core,
A feeling of despair,
A feeling of hopelessness,
A feeling of fear and sadness.
It spreads outwards,
Going to my limbs,
Filling me with these feelings.
I stare off into an abyss,
And wait.
I wait for my monster,
Knowing he’ll show up,
Knowing he has come to end me.
I’m slowly dying,
And i can’t stop it.
