Cry myself to sleep, Watch my eyes colors bleed. A shot in the dark. Spark & shock, restarting my heart. Down a slippery path of arrogance. Whispers of a different muse.
I wish I could be. The real me. I wish you could see. What affect you have on me. I wish everything was rosy. And everyone came up smelling of posies. I wish your words didn't linger.
I walk. I eat. I sleep. I touch. I see. I smell. I hurt. I ache. I long. I am all but I am not. I do things for necessity. I breath for the sake of breathing. I work to have a job.
My head's filled with white noise. This mental war has reached its peak. I can't tell which are decoys, Our future looks to be bleak. I can't trust you with my retentions ...
Open your eyes, Look around you. People. People everywhere. They know you, You know them.
Butterflies flutter, Fly high I sit here and I cry. If only I had wings, I could take off to better things. But no, I sit here and I see, I don't know who is 'me'.
Must we haste And waste the day. Must we worry About what others think. Must we overthink Every little detail. Must we pretend And lie till the end. Must we fight And blur our sight.
Strong is what I aspire to be. So the whole world can see the real me. Putting all my insecurities in a box. That is secured by a huge padlock. Keeping that box close to my heart.
Rip out my heart, Throw it away, A kindling dead, Rebuked today, Scratch my face, So tears will fall, Deep and red, Silent and small, Into my lungs, Dripping black tar, Turn me around, Let me run...
I think that out of all the things people have said to me in the past that annoy me the most, it’s this: You’re too hard on yourself.
My dreams were shattered a long time ago You bring out the worst in me, I hate that I stoop so low I find it hard to remember what it's like to feel respected I try to hold on to the old me, so...
I've felt this torment many times before. The scream that builds to an internal roar. An urge in my muscles to burst out of my skin. Where is the end, I don't know where to begin.
You know that moment when when you feel so angry at yourself all you want to do is bury your head in the ground and.
Clinging to the edge, I know I promised and made a pledge. But what have I got left here. Hope, love. No, just fear. It'd be just so much easier to fall. Heart dead, put a stop to it all.
Playing eternally in my mind like an old film tape wound Around my thoughts, my heart Starts.
#augustwriteaday #abandoned Abandoned is this mind where it lays, Quietly settling to its uninspired ways The busy hands of a clock that ticks, Had I not tried, it would have taken me weeks.
Pain. I didn't know how to deal with pain. With hunger and self gain. They did this. Saw me in pain. But they were vain. They left me in the rain. Left me to wallow in my self pity.
You're a hero that's the phrase. Stand up. Be brave But what if I'm not that way. You're a hero saved the day Stand up. Be great But what if I'm not that way.
Tightening grip around my neck. Face, still smiling, but the breath is becoming laboured, Torture, this is. My breathing, shallow. Is it supposed to be this way. A rite of passage.
Need to get me some sleep. Before my eyes start to weep. Before exhaustion takes me. And I start drowning in a sleepless sea. Before tiredness. Becomes a wilderness. Before my words. Are misheard.
This world is a trap, Just all tap, tap, tap, Around and around, Never leaving the ground, Longing, wishing, hoping, All drinking and doping, Will that find more.
My self esteem is very low. I go through everyday thinking it's all my fault. I don't deserve happiness or anyone to love. I know that I will never be good enough.

Thoughts are bubbling to the surface, Of who, of what, of that, I don't know how to control it, To maybe just sweep it under the mat.
