I can't believe that this, 
This is what you compared to mine. 
  The family shame.
    When we were scared for our lives.
      And you say, it's over.
Ashamed by my weakness. 
No lingering pain.
Not in this moment. 
But wait
What about those clinging demons
Laughing in my sleep as we meet yet again
Hello, my enemy
Slithering, slobbering, tearing from the inside. 
This is the reality of trauma. 
It's a putrid cologne
It's the numb, careless life
The intrusive thoughts in a safe place

My feelings aren't yours to point and laugh at.

I'm not the person
To be in one place
I belong to no one
Least of all myself
I'm nothing
Forever
I'll shred my skin 
ninety
Hoping to reach the happy place 
poison and passion

i just want 
to
...reach...
into my ribcage
grab hold
tight
and yank outwards
spill it all out
it's so heavy

what is it 
what is it
WHAT IS IT
leave me alone
please
it's that thing in the dark corner
it's that thought 
it's the unknown
it's you

I don't want to feel bad for them. They're angered by my desire to play, but I've been there. Latching onto an idea, only to continuously patch as they destroy.

I feel sorry. Then I remind myself, I felt sorry when I was the one being used as well. There are no winners in this game, I suppose. I'm drained and tired and unhappy. It's addicting and any little high will do. Pushing my luck on the open road, walking into unknown units, being the C I was supposed to be. She's wild and adventurous. She's sassy and smart. She laughs and holds her own. She's C, and she takes no shit. She's C, and she cries herself to sleep as he sings lullabies. She's C, and it's all just emptiness. Funny how my choices boomerang back, twisted and ruined, relying on me to straighten them out. It's funny how they all seem nice, but the truth is I don't think I care anymore. I am looking for the end. Who will be my last movement? When I no longer have anything left to fight for. Who will be the push it takes. For me to scream or just to jump [off a bridge, he said].


The empty words of a grey memory. Rehearsed, pretty little nothings. Thank you, I say cringing all the while. Lies are easy for all of you, aren't they? I won't tell any of you that you're anything to look at. I'm going to wrap you in my arms and hold you so tight, so...lovingly, but when you want me most I WILL FUCKING GUT YOU. I WANT TO WATCH YOU BURN.

i'm scared to be alone

you need space

i'm angry
but not with you
it's me
i can't breathe
 i eat in desperate hope to fill the emptiness 
drink to numb it all
hurt myself to eclipse the pain
cry to comfort the frightened child
my heart is so heavy
as i think of how i want to hurt you
how i want you to feel the same
but love isn't supposed to wound
so maybe i don't

I said
I'm going to come out of this so untouchable
And I am
All get what they want
Doesn't mean it's what they thought

Nothing has changed
I'm just cold
Moldering insides
I turn away in fear
Because everything
Is ruled
By what you can't face

Sunday, July 21, 2019

hey, thanks for letting me be a part of your life
or wait
I have no ground with you
I'm just a fucking toy
so, oh, pretty please let me apologize for feeling what you don't want me to feel
"I don't know how I live with myself, I'm so talented"
I say
as I cut a bleeding line into my thigh

Saturday, July 13, 2019

I'm putting up walls
Yet reaching out
Panicking
Suffocating
That dead center
Festering

Will you ignore it
Say
It's over now

It's my destruction
And ours



Thursday, July 11, 2019

why is it you don't want to know me
the real me
it's exactly the way you want
and i'm fading

so know me
continuously
or 
don't


Friday, June 7, 2019

Yeah, none of that mattered
You're still just a disposable product

Saturday, June 1, 2019

There's probably a word for this
Is it existential angst
Is this depression
Your skin is too heavy
A constricting waxen suit

Thursday, May 23, 2019

Part of me thinks we'll disappear
That I'm in a coma
If I were to die
I'd take you with me
If I were to live
I'd live my whole life 
In search of you

To be a moment of you

Friday, May 3, 2019

And now you know
It was all just words
Oh, I want to hurt you

Monday, April 29, 2019

I'm waiting
for that bubble to burst
all the liquid dreams
turn hard
but is it ash
or gold

don't break me

Thursday, April 25, 2019

can i ask you a question?
no
i want to love you and give everything to you
but in a real sense i don't want to love
i don't want to trust
is love a choice?
but choosing failed and my body ultimately gave me away

maybe you can't reach past a certain point

what is real
am i safe
am i safe
am i safe
does it matter

it's not a level to get past
what if i've never loved

and i understand nothing

Monday, April 1, 2019

the thing is
you were never in control
you never said yes
you never said no
you grab hands
you live
you sink

Sunday, March 10, 2019

somebody please
help me
i don't know what to do anymore
got that urge
to just
stab
a giant hole into my
forearm

Sunday, March 3, 2019

You are worthless

You do the same thing always
Bumbling
Stupid
Oaf
See that sounds cute
Fuck
What is going on with you

Thursday, February 21, 2019

guess what
my arm hurts
and my shame grows
as i peel the scabs 
my body tries to heal
abuse it again

and is that shame 
ashamed of the depth
or 
me

Time to let it all out
This radio silence coming from within
I've relapsed again
But not into delirious oblivion
This is "normal" 
and if your normal isn't
Well then, fuck you

I'm begging for pain again
Simultaneously exhilarated and frightened
Dragging blades across my burning skin
Or
The thrill of being hit over and over

What if it's mania
And I'm one of them

My heart is held by hands
And love can never reach
They pull and twist from it's grasp
Leaving me exhausted

He's okay, just alright
Safety on
But I need him to shoot
Bang bang bitch

I cut my wrist and went to sit in a dining room. I fell asleep at the table and woke up in the hospital after being dead for 4 hours. People kept coming in and telling me I belonged in hell. I kept trying to tell them it was an accident, and I hadn't been gone long enough for me to not be able to come back.

drink until oblivion
he told me to stop
i want the thrill
i'm drowning

stronger than my heart

she's in my head and i want to scream i want to drag blades across my skin and feel the warm hug of that crimson release i want to fly and feel the truth and what do i care if this is me leave me i'll fuck someone else and another and it doesn't matter
