she/her | 16 | veni, vidi, amavi • I came, I saw, I loved
Im scared I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die
Not yet
Please God Not yet
I’m not ready
I haven’t done enough I wasted my time Sitting staring at a screen
I wanted to learn
Learn everything
Poems History Math Art Language
Everything
And I wanted to love And be loved In a way more that friendship To be held and to be chosen
I wanted to love
Make my mark Make some kind lf difference
Not just fade out With nothing to show
Please I’m not ready yet I need more time
I need more time
Please I don’t want to die
I’m scared
A star from the night sky
tracing constalations on my back
An angel from the heavens Weaving love in the places I lack
The sun and the moon shining on me
Cupids radiant smile you’re making me everything i want to be
You look And see You hear And listen
Too beautiful Blurring my vision
Feels to good to be true Maybe i’m dead
Even so I’ll love you forever
My goddess in a mortal bed
When I first saw you I knew
You are perfect
Nothing marring your beauty
And it was up to me to make you amazing Live up to your potential I am your guide
Teaching you to live your life When I barely know how to live mine
Teaching all my mistakes Sharing all of my trauma
Your eyes look at me Glistening peaceful
Will it be tamped out by this broken world? I pray not
I’m not ready Will I ever be ready?
Please look me in the eyes and tell me I haven’t ruined you
-Good Morning America- Today is the first time in months that we've looked up Staring at the ground Too preoccupied in our precious lives to look up and see around us Oblivious
-Good Morning America- Someone wake our Nation up tell us to look around take it all in What are you gonna do about it?
-Good Morning America- How long are you gonna wait? sit by watch watch as the scenes play what a strange movie to watch from afar
-Good Morning America-
It hasn't touched you yet
Or that's what you believe
It couldn't happen to us next
Why interfere?
Selfish
-Good Morning America- 1 2 3 hundred thousand million deaths that you could have changed
-WAKE UP AMERICA- This isn't a movie It's not gonna go away Its not far off in the distance Look around What will it take? How many? How Long?
Its almost too late
Wake up America
Tell me a happy story Please
One to get away from it all
Tell me something magical beautiful
Something far away from here
Tell me something real Honest
Something almost to good to be true
Tell me a happy story please
A prince and a princess
A beginning and and ending
A happily ever after
The clouds are grey here Dark Brooding Sad
There’s still anger, resentment, frustration, fury, desperation, hunger, sadness, pity,
love
Here
And it’s all too much
So tell me a happy story please As I fade into the sky
A happy story Please
And when i’m gone
Maybe
In that way
It’s a happy ending for both of us
People are talking Inside my head Screaming Screaming Screaming I can’t hear myself think
And yet the doctors say it’s fine It’s a figment of my imagination
Thoughts are pouncing in every conversation every thing I say every interaction i have with anyone
And yet The doctors say i’m fine
My legs and arms keep shaking Chaos to keep the calm always moving to stay still for you
The doctors say i’m fine though
I can’t control myself anymore My mind controls me and my body and yet My mind isn’t me anymore My mind has a gun My mind has a knife My mind doesn’t want to use it But they will if they must
The doctors say i’m getting better though Just a few side effects
But when i’m dead on the floor And my lifeless eyes are screaming for freedom You’ll know i wasn’t fine And you’ll know that this All of this Is because everything you didn’t do
My feet are clinging to the ice Every step harder than the last
Only a little further Till i’m there Til I’m home
The cold is biting at my ears nose eyes
Every inhalation A fight That i’m not winning
But Only a little further Till i’m there Til I’m home
Heading towards the center The cracks at my feet leading me
Cold air billows from my lungs Making another cloud in front of me
I’m trembling And the tears streaking down my face are Thick and frozen
Only a little further Till i’m there Til I’m home
I’m almost at the center
Almost to you
Almost to your open arms
I see it then
The hole in the ice The cracks surrounding it
Only a little further
Til I’m home
I take one step then another
Flashbacks bombarding me if a cold night like this weeks ago
You didn’t choose your fate
But i’m choosing mine
I strip off my jacket first then my gloves hat boots shirt socks pants
Folding all of them neatly by the side By skin is prickly with goose bumps Purple with the cold
I can almost feel you over me wrapping me in your arms
But your not there yet Not yet
Only a little further
Til I’m home
I dip my toes in
The cold is paralyzing I can do this
You’re waiting
And i love you
I slip in Letting the dark water envelope my body take me down down down down
I’m coming
Love me
And make me feel warm again
——————————
kind of a long one sorry 😅
Help
Help
Help
Help
Help
Help
There’s no air
I’m stuck Suffocating Forced to be here As by lungs Burst And bruise
Trying to cling to
air
life
all of the above
My head it touching the cool metal as i’m pushed against it I try to focus As my whole body screams
Help
Please please please please Help
I promise i will do better If you give me this chance Help me get out
Bubbles float around me Dots spin in my eyes
Then A Yanking on my hair
Pulling me out of the wet the darkness
I’m gasping curling and retching on to the tiled floor
Im alive I’m
I’m
I’m Alive
There’s a body A dead body blood spilt on the floor next to me Metallic like the sink I was in seconds before
There’s a man standing over me asking if i’m alright How do i tell him i’m not? How do i tell him that i will never be again?
The balance between good and bad
The fight between caring and uncaring
A choice defining us
A moment in time
A grade
An action
All small in the scheme of things
But they mean so much
Be careful
Ever so careful
What you do on a
day to day
hour to hour
minute to minute
second to second
Everything adds up Creating who you are
You look back and everything’s changed Because time tics forward even when you do not
And i love
And i run
And i hide
And I hunger
And i cry
And i move
And i hate
And i adore
And i weep
For this life was not made for someone like me
I choose to listen And to obey
Chasing fleeting moments Where happiness is mine, only to decay
The big picture is getting smaller And my life is moving on
And i keep feeling these emotions Why is it such a con?
Hurting me Leaving me helpless
To say goodbye myself And turn away feeling disgust plus
Every freaking emotion turning against me
Just let me feel empty Just let me be
Sitting here crying as the night turns into day
Because this world wasn’t meant for people like me I never belonged here anyway
