ghost in the bones
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
There's nothing here to see
there was never anyone here to see
when everything falls
someone will scry my bones in the dust
and find the story of no one
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
There's nothing here to see
there was never anyone here to see
when everything falls
someone will scry my bones in the dust
and find the story of no one
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway

I Am That Horror Show
I was called out and rightfully so
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...

not made for this
The more you've got it made
the less I feel I belong here
and I don't know how to tell you
I don't want the white picket fence dream
because I don't know how to explain
how lonely walking the line
makes me feel
I wasn't born to fit in
and I think I've always known that
but I still squish my soul
into ill fitting places
because some days
the need to belong
outways the instability
of true freedom
And the choices that have lead me
to this half life of ghosted dreams
and discontent ...
the less I feel I belong here
and I don't know how to tell you
I don't want the white picket fence dream
because I don't know how to explain
how lonely walking the line
makes me feel
I wasn't born to fit in
and I think I've always known that
but I still squish my soul
into ill fitting places
because some days
the need to belong
outways the instability
of true freedom
And the choices that have lead me
to this half life of ghosted dreams
and discontent ...

Nobody Noticed
Nobody noticed… when I wasn’t in class couldn’t sit on my ass even tho I loved maths I’d rather be smoking grass
No wonder I never went back
Nobody noticed… when I was abused walking round with a bruise never could be amused and couldn’t tell the truth
No wonder I was prone to attack
Nobody noticed… when I changed cus they’re still the same stuck in their lane while look at all the power I gained
No wonder I carried the slack
Nobody noticed… when I disappeared for three years, changing gears, amped my life up through...

To turn towards life
The bright clear sky calls me today
To choose to go a brand new way
To stop dying the inner death
Of thinking I am not enough
Have I not done the good I could?
I mostly have done what I should
Perfectionism is the death
That tells me I am not enough
I tentatively spread my wings
To go see what a future brings
Where I don't pollute every breath
By thinking I am not enough
This road, I think it will be long
But each step on it makes me strong
I turn towards life, I turn from death
I write it down:...
To choose to go a brand new way
To stop dying the inner death
Of thinking I am not enough
Have I not done the good I could?

Perfectionism is the death
That tells me I am not enough
I tentatively spread my wings
To go see what a future brings
Where I don't pollute every breath
By thinking I am not enough
This road, I think it will be long
But each step on it makes me strong
I turn towards life, I turn from death
I write it down:...

& it still is...
this is my story
...not a human experience absolute
but it was never about food
or appetite...or lack thereof
it's imperative you understand
no...
it was much more than that
a desperate need for the one damn thing
sorely lacking in my life
something stolen before I knew it was needed
...or that it even existed
an elusive slippery kind of concept
information...without proof
& I could not comprehend...
...something I'd never had
so I created my own version
refusing to eat what I was...

Faking It
They say fake it
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?

The Little Steps
I was talking to my caseworker today. He encouraged me to write my story Free. And I did do that. And I ended up crying and thought finally! I'm releasing some emotions pent up in my body from years of repression and hiding away from myself.
I'm so thankful for him. He's a way better source than all these articles or videos saying the generic be positive speel. Because when I try to be positive, it ends up backfiring. I end up getting more mad that I'm saying something I honestly don't believe and end up hurting myself.

The Perfect Little Girl
Diana had a perfect life.
She was the cute next door neighbor girl
With great grades and a heart for the arts.
"You have the perfect body," her mom would praise. "More than most people your age."
Try as Diana might to compliment those bigger girls,
But for her mother it wasn't enough.
Fat people weren't beautiful.
They never were,
And they never will be.
They never will be enough.
"At least I'm skinny," Diana thought.
"At least then I'll be loved."
But she still wasn't...

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.
There’s just so much I want to share
when I convince myself that you might care…
Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my...

Galaxy of Resiliency
" The wound is the place where the light enters you" - Rumi
I have deeply loved myself
despite a heart scarred with failed fates,
and wounded eternities.
Epoch lifetime battle scars and bleeds.
I wear my wounds.
Celebrate my ruins.
What could we possibly learn unmarred?
A scab on every single solitary place
your fingers touched me.
A myriad of patient scars,
to transform me into
a human galaxy of resiliency.
I have deeply loved myself
despite a heart scarred with failed fates,
and wounded eternities.
Epoch lifetime battle scars and bleeds.

your fingers touched me.
A myriad of patient scars,
to transform me into
a human galaxy of resiliency.
