Oh devil heart how you cross my mind
Angelic nature is yours to find
My heart is closed to love, obtuse
Above my heart my mind hangs a noose
Blood red paintings stain my room
What a waste of talent, what a waste of life
I watched them on the big screen, listen to them on the radio
I talked to them in the halls, they are pros at hiding strife.
Look me in my eyes
Do you see the pain?
The pain I hide
Look at my smile
Do you see the pain?
The pain that I hide
Im guessing you don't
Because I am the clown of the circus
Imagination is key
Life is not for me
The thoughts flood in my head
Telling me I am better off dead
I listen to them as they creep
Telling me I should sleep
Forever is short they say
Everything started out at school, always saying she wasn't good enough
Rumours spread, stories told that she somehow heard of
Then the social network came, telling her to just give up
So she lisened to the chatter
Just like art, she is constantly evolving
Each in-breath she takes brings more purity and clarity than there ever was.
Her gentle eyelashes flutter as each drop of rain falls softly onto her cupid's brow
Natural disasters are spiking like a bed of nails
Dead bodies dangle from the ceiling, falling from seasons like snowflakes
No stories are the same
Spread your wings, warrior
I am the vehicle that drives his daily thoughts
To be the only one on his mind shouldn't I want?
I drive for miles and miles, covering him in exhaust
I am the liquor that stains his hardened lips
I'm laying on my bedBeneath me is red on whiteAn arrow in my throatI didn't put up a fight
He's sitting all alone
wondering why she left him hereWith nothing but am empty chest
and endless guilt to bearHe wants to leave this stupid place
They tease me, ignore and often bore me
They don’t see what has instore for me
They talk to me like what they have said wont lore me
Into their trap of therapy
I’m just a statistic, a suicide count
I put the inanimate over my head, to protect my mind from gathering more unwanted thoughts
These thoughts fuel my eyelids as they become triggers my lashes ever so slightly pull
In the midst of a storm,
lightning has crashed,
piercing down the soft shell
of an unsteady path
The ocean's rivers
bleed into falls
as the red pool rises
and lucid night calls
When I was younger and I heard people talk about heartbreak
and how much it hurt I thought they were lying.
I didn’t think heartache existed
until it was 3AM and I couldn’t do anything
She’s alone.
Everyday she fears having no one.
Dad’s gone
Mom is sick
And she..
She crawls out of bed every morning,
At thirteen I lost my reason to live,
my sister, Virginia, became a stillborn
My heart was torn in not two, but a hundred pieces
A demon was created inside of my head
I was told from others she deserved to die
As she drags a razor against her wrist,
he lays in bed wondering if she'll stop herself in time.
A soft sob escapes his lips
Outside the door his mother flinches, knowing how much he's hurting
I wonder why I woke up this morning
It must be because you sustain me
I question my religion daily
I find the world around me amazing
The peace that I found is a mystory
My old self is long gone it's history
I am soldier in this war called life
I have to fight for my sanity and happiness
I have will win some and lose some
The wins feel great for a bit
But the loses, well the hurt stays for what feels like forever
When Robbin Williams died,Suicide,My family sighed saying, that's just how things are sometimes.
I'm hurt.
I'm hurt that my Dad left my family and I,
I'm hurt that he didn't get to finish teaching me the things he wanted me to know,
I'm hurt that my parents argued that night,
beep.....beep
Leave me be
Let my mind roam free and let me escape this misery.
Do not torture me anymore
Allow me to escape these thoughts
Stop my hands
