Wounds
Wounds as deep as mine
Do not even seem to scar
They just putrify
Do not even seem to scar
They just putrify

Can You Hear Me?
Do you know who I am
Can you recognize my face
I know you hear voices
But can mine come through
I wish i could talk to you
Tell you all I’ve been through
But it’s so hard, when you’re so far gone
Can you hear me
I’m so sorry
Can you hear me
I’m so ashamed
I don’t know how to deal with it
So in the tears and silence I sit
Where there was once love
Hopelessness and fear subside
I still hold on to the memories,
But now i feel them fading away
Fading with each faint beat of my heart
Can...

I’m so ashamed
I don’t know how to deal with it
So in the tears and silence I sit
Where there was once love
Hopelessness and fear subside

Darkside
Push them all away
I don't need anyone
trust no-one not even myself
living life cutthroat
life isn't about living
its about survival, at least that's what I've learned.
Going to bed with my demons
I've stopped fighting them
now they keep me company in the dark side
eyes darkened and mouth shut
hope was nothing more
than a bullet in the gun my demons held.
Confessing my secrets to paranoia
feeding into my anxiety
killing myself to give life to my depression
carry myself cold and distant
surrendering...
I don't need anyone

now they keep me company in the dark side
eyes darkened and mouth shut

than a bullet in the gun my demons held.

feeding into my anxiety
killing myself to give life to my depression

Borderline
Break the mirror because I hate the reflection
the person staring back is a stranger
you're not here anymore so I don't know who to be
morphed myself to be what you wanted
different people different personality
knew you better than I know myself
I don't know who I am I'm a stranger to myself.
Please don't leave me like the others
I know you've promised before but promise again
I need reassurance whenever it can be given and then some more
paranoia is my lover
it fucks me every single night when I'm alone
it reads your actions...

We Are This
When you read this I don't want you to take it personal but I know you will because it is personal
Some things have causes
Mental health doesn't seem to be in your dictionary but you lack the mental capacity of gaining knowledge of it
Acknowledging it
Because your mentally filled with it
Mentally flying in it
I'm mentally dying within it
It's not about me being crazy or feeling crazy
It's about the normal ups and downs of emotion
Emotion you can't always explain but it is explainable
Because you caused it so if it's...

EXPLODING DOORMAT POEM
The problem is not that you are a doormat.
The problem is that there is someone who is using you as a doormat.
The problem is not that you explode.
Explode harder!
The problem is that there is someone who is using you as a doormat.
The problem is not that you explode.

Destruction Disruption
With threat of a monster lurking
She tore off both of his arms
Turned swiftly to the winds
To face an unseen swarm
With trembling legs he crawled to her aid
Smiling at death as he gazed upon it's face
She cut out her heart, realizing her mistake
Betrayal embeded only in her mortal state
War escaped her once contained center
Only hers, forcing the voices to shatter
She made him whole once she remembered
The ancient healers, they do not dismember
Arisen, a flame came from a silver sword
Wings dried her tears and...

Dissociated
I don't even feel as if I’m sitting here
Zoned out in a dissociative state
Feeling so unwanted by the world
Stuck inside, no, I don’t feel okay
One singular human, that’s all I get
To wait all day, just one to wait on
Waiting for you all day, I just can’t take…
I can’t take this anymore, all this going on
I feel like a phony, stealing away time
Time that belongs to others who live
Who actually can provide, others...
Who may even have something to give
So i sit here silently, breathing silently
