Wore not needing to drink caffeine like a badge of honor Taking meds was my Nobel peace prize Being unmedicated feels like the end of the peace treaty with myself

How am I supposed to barter? The only way I can win is chemical warfare

Hiding in the trenches Until I am strong enough to fight again

Today I woke up and the world was a little brighter

Like someone upped the saturation to everything around me

The grass is a beautiful shade of khaki brown

The sky is the perfect amount of blue and white

And the rain clouds are gone

Today I woke up and saw my smile appear almost as bright as the sun

My eyes are a volt holding all of my cherished memories

With the key in my hand I sit back and watch the movie play

My heart swollen with love

Today I woke up

And everything was okay

Felt a little silly :3

Maybe I’m more than myself

I can rise above all

I am god

I am infinite

Maybe I’m less than I’ve thought

I sink

Within the soil I crumble

I’m nothing

I will never amount to anything

Maybe I’m just somebody

Plagued

Yet no different

Than any other

Can I be like you?

Can we hold hands and

Walk through the flower field?

Picking a bouquet with all we see

Am I plagued?

Or am I just one person

Holed up too far

In my own sufferings

To notice the hand

extended out towards me

Maybe I am normal.

Maybe I’m nothing

Maybe, just maybe

I’m more than I thought.

cluttery brain

Little snips of paper

bearing random words

assemble themselves into

scrambled pages

a spiteful little breeze

blows pages across

prone piles of guilt

and sassy little sparks

play across the ceiling

the anxiety spiders

skitter across the floor

sowing worry

while those she loves

dance in and out

patting the weary walls

to comfort her cluttery brain.

did it kill you?

did it kill you too?

or am i alone in my pain?

calling out with everything i have

do you chase my shadows down empty hallways?

it felt real, you felt real

did you feel pain when you tore me apart?

or were you just a venomous, two-faced cobra

that tore apart my heart?

did you need stitches too?

did you have to put the pieces back?

it’s hard to fit them in a way that matters

did you also struggle with that?

i want you to hurt

but i couldn’t bear it at the same time

the truth is i still love you

even after your venomous lies.

Red and Silver

** If you are struggling please reach out to someone. things can get better I promise <3**

Red and Silver

the colors I clung to

the colors I knew might be the death of me one day but I couldn't seem to bring myself to care

it started with the silver

the way the sun or the lampshade or my flashlight would make it sparkle

making it seem like something it wasn't

making it seem more welcoming that it should be, like it wouldn't hurt me

and then came the red

who knew silver and red went so well together?

and as time grew, I became more and more obsessed with these colors because who was I without them?

so maybe that was why I dyed my hair red when I had never before liked the color

and maybe that was why I sought out every piece of silver I saw

and maybe this is why I hated looking in the mirror but I could never be sure why

because every time I did, it reminded me that I was nothing without these colors

I'm not fighting upstream on a tiny boat, refusing to let the water take me or to rest on solid ground; I am the river.

Running red with resistance, to fall stagnant and kill the things that grow inside, to be filled with poison. I want nothing but to rest, though my fate is as lonesomely comforting as it is hollow.

I am anything but lost, but I will never be certain. The days and nights pass by like clouds, and I keep changing, cycling, remaining the same. The clouds pass by like thoughts,

And I can never tell if the whispers are my own or of the wind or the earth itself. If we only were not so stubborn, it could be a harmony of all the world's songs, but it remains a whisper.

The riverbed is not my cage, not my home. It is the only solid thing I've ever known. I could run forever but I will never escape myself. And I cannot love this, a river doesn't adore the basin of its body. I can only close my eyes and let myself fall upon the stones; clear and pure, but never certain.

In search of grace, we run so fast,

Exercising hard, but shadows cast.

Starving for a fleeting, to fit our dream mold,

A relentless path that's hard to hold.

i spent a lifetime believing kindness lived on the serrated edge of a butchers knife;

that my worth was carried in how well my body bent to steel.

so many years of swallowing razors like sacrament —

it’s easy to forget what it’s like to be loved unbloodied.

Rose-Colored Glasses

 I’ve lost my

rose-colored glasses,

or they were stolen

on the way;

now, the world

around me passes

by in tedious

shades of gray.

I open tik tok

This person looks cool, they're lip syncing a song I like. I scroll.

This person wrote something. I relate. I scroll.

Someone is explaining something. I don't understand. I scroll.

When I scroll, I am washing all the thoughts away that come.

What is this person gonna do? I scroll.

It's a aesthetic slide show. It looks cool. I scroll.

What happens? I don't know. I scroll.

Someone is telling something. It takes too long. I scroll. With every tik tok, I get new thoughts that pop up in my mind for a second.

This reminds me of my friend, I'm sending it to him. I scroll.

This tik tok is taking too long. I scroll.

This reminds me of something. I scroll.

There's a cat. I scroll. And with every new tik tok, I wash them away again.

I scroll.

I'm scrolling the thoughts away.

I wonder if the pain will ever stop

And I’ll see the sunshine again

Mom doesn’t check in very often

I know that she cares, though

Think she finally learned

That simply loving and caring isn’t enough

If it was, she would have put an immediate end to the generational trauma

I know she tried.

But sometimes, trying is not enough

And maybe, trying will never be enough

And the only way I can end this generational trauma

Is to not create another generation

And focus on creating self-growth

Self-healing

Self-love!

I love myself more than my obligation to the bloodline

The bloodline ends with me.

The generational trauma ends with me.

beautiful

Lipstick

Pearls

Gloves

Cradled in metal

Sleeping in tragedy

Beautiful,

They say.

Yet

What is beautiful

About hurting so exquisitely

You could leap off the

Eighty-sixth floor

And feeling so hideous

You begged that you

Be burned in death

And burned she was

Into history’s memory

As

the most beautiful suicide.

And out of the cracks in her heart grew flowers,

As the broken organs found their power.

Slowly she learned to live once more,

And found beauty in the things that had killed her before.

Through the knots in her lungs she began to find air,

And she realised at last that to live was a dare,

As the scars on her skin grew quieter not louder,

And out of the cracks in her heart grew flowers.
