He did drugs for many years and he finally had to pay.Because of his drug use, he died one year ago today.He overdosed last year and sadly, he could not survive.
You promised
To never leave me.
But you did.
And I will never be the same.
You were there
For me
When times were
The toughest
But now they're
Harder.
I take drugs to feel good, boy.You lie like a liar should, boy.I don't trust, but who would, boy,after all I've been through?
he lies awake
all fucking night
until the stars disappear
from the black blue sky
damn he’s like
deathly high
Blood vessels and veins mesh beneath skin;
violently violet
Head and arms draped across the bathroom floor
a question most have
but none ask:
why suicide?
life has so much more to offer,
they say.
it gets better,
they promise.
Just one more
I promise that’s it
Just one more
Then I promise I’ll quit.
Those lies you spoke
for so many years
An ocean of needles
and too many beers.
Just one month ago, you were walking around.But now you're dead and buried in the ground.So much can change in just the blink of an eye.You went too soon, forty-eight was too young to die.
Life is shit; Life ain’t fair
I don’t even fucking care
Grab a drink; pop a pill
Pray to god that this will kill
Heart Is beating; trouble breathing
I am sweating and I’m freezing
The darkness behind your eyes was deeper than the surface could see
Your pain and suffering was consuming you inside and weighing you down underneath
You sent many signs
I won't say I'm in love.
I like your hair,
I won't say I'm in love.
I like how you don't want to catch my eyes,
I won't say I'm in love.
breath nearly fleeting from me
seeming at peace, laid in bed
unshaken, unbroken
paper-packs pile
on the mahogany dresser
i wish someone would’ve stopped me
The sun is asleep and the moon is only half awake.
My mind is blurry and my heart is half paced.
Crickets are chirping in slow motion as I ascend into open space.
you told me, i’m a fighter,
you told me, you’d always be here.
you were your sister’s protector, and I’m my brother’s keeper,
you suffered
It’s amazing how you have the ability to cut me down and bring me to my highest of highs,
In a single sentence, you have this uncanny ability to remind me how small I am.
Pain is the feeling I get when I think of you,
You’re gone and you left us behind.
I can’t help but think about what you would be doing,
They always say its more fish in the sea
but what about the fish that starts with an m and ends with an e..
What about the one thats always in the deep end, so far from the light yet still acts as though things are alright..
i had taken 50 tylenol, in intervals of five on april 2ndapril 2nd, because i felt that april 1st would be a day too cruel to get a call from your child's school
How are you just going to get up and leave like that?
You're only seventeen, what are you gonna do with yourself now?
You went from a child who tried in school to a girl smoking pot just to feel cool.
lights, camera, action, green screen, Steven Spielberg special effects this set up is more complex than anything you’ll find up in Hollywood
There is no time for stage fright the cameras here are always rolling
I'm lucky to be alive but I know god has plans for me, no matter how mad sad or happy I can be, I took a dive for the worst and if it wasn't for a y'all's prayer, where would I be no one knows where, I am very grateful, and since my overdose I am
Today a boy will fall down unconscious
his trembling form on the bathroom floor
one hand clutching tight a bottle
filled with little white exit signs
I sit here, alone.
Eyes set to the ceiling;
thinking, too much. not enough.
Clock ticks, sand grains fall. slowly, fast, whatever.
Sleep doesn't come, eyes never move.
Open, close, who knows.
Sarah
She was born into an orphanage
Her reading disability is awful
Her emotionally traumatized brain can't help it
Her life spent without being wanted
Justin
Wishes he didn't have parents.
time can't rewind,
though i really wish it could,
if i could change the past,
i most certainly would.
we used to be close,
actually best friends,
but drugs came into the picture,
Every day she walks alone, through the drabby halls.
Whispers follow her wherever she goes, as though they come from the walls.
She pulls the sleeves of her hoodie further and further down,
Waiting for trains
Stand by the edge
They come so fast
You can feel the wind being pushed out of the way
It's an inch from your face
Closer, closer, closer
For the train you wait
She wore red velvet; redder than velvet was her heart.
Gone were the nights of regret, she learned to cope with it.
She wore black leather; blacker than leather was her hair.
McKenzie picked her poison quite a while ago.
She never paid for drugs; instead they were her pain killers.
They were an opportunity to pacify her demons.
When she was high, she had no past, no present, no future.
Narrow is the passage that leads to your heartAnd as I search for your loveI never come close nor am I ever good enough to have itI'm still stuck out hereAnd looking in, I can see itAll that love that once was
A certain level of joy when in love
One tragedy breaks the pure bliss
So easy: falling in love
But is it truly worth it
The tears were streaming
down my face,
happy thoughts
I could not retrace.
I stare up at
my computer screen,
social media
can be so mean.
I type my goodbyes
You’re screaming at me but I'm not there to hear it.
I'm drifting away on fluffy white clouds as my world melts around me like a Dali painting and my fingers leave patterns in a sea of stars.
