I’m drowning
Fighting against the raging current
I’m screaming
Nobody hears me
They sit in their lawn chairs under colorful umbrellas and watch the waves of life
Peaceful they call it
They don’t see
I’m slipping
I swim and I fight
Yet I’m pushed farther away
I yell out each time I manage
I’m ignored
“Every teenager feels this way”
Im running out of energy
I can do this anymore
I want to slip i...
I’m screaming
I let my mask start to slip
My fake smile start to drop
I let these scars lay exposed
I’m crying out for help
I’m stuck in this pit
Ive called out to those whi claim to care
“God’s with you” paired with a heartless emoji
I’m yelling at a God who supposed to swear to never leave me
Painful silence in return
Love I once felt, he took back
I’m broken
I’m abandoned
I’m alone
I ...
I wish I never had to let go of times
When summer seemed to go on forever
Where the the days we’re filled
Running through the fields
Playing dolls in the grass
And building dams in the streams
The days where
mud on my face
grass between bare toes
Dirt under my finger nails
And ants cradled in my hands
Was all my daily life
When a smile on my face was the default
the world felt welcoming
And th...
If one ugly pebble
Taken from the beach
Where it once was surrounded by others just a like it
Just a little less smooth and a little less perfect
If it was tossed into the sea
To join the other fallen stones
Would anyone really notice?
Would it even make a sound?
I’m sure there’d be a plop as it hit the water
Maybe a few rings would radiate from the impact
But after the fact
After that pebble has...
You gave me directions to your house
Which streets to walk
And what to look for
How to get to your house
Even though we’re hundreds of miles apart
You wanted to show me your roses
Your orange trees I picked as a toddler
Your lemons to make lemonade
You’ve forgeten that I live across the country
You’ve forget my name
Soon you’ll forget yours
You’ve forgotten yourself
We’re losing more of you ea...

My heart used to bleed
My soul used to ache
My head used to spin
I used to break
Then came the doll maker
Who promised to fix me
He promised he delivered
Now im regretting
Stole all my pain, my joy, my emotion
Painted a face that would last forever
Heart no longer bleeds
It’s all been drained
It no longer loves
But it no longer pains
Ripped out my...
Normal
The same
Like the others
Then how come
They seem to be
Swimming laps and taking strides
While I stay behind
Struggling to surfaces
Drowned by waves life
Knocked down by each social interaction
If I’m normal
Why can’t I catch up
Why am I always lingering behind
Fighting to keep a pace
The others call normal
If I’m normal
Then why do I feel so broken...
Leaving your door open
Stealing your snacks
“Borrowing” your clothes
Slapping your back
Racing to the front
Calling you names
Saying I hate you
Every stupid game
This is how I love you
I would kill for you sis’
But you can’t borrow my shirt
My friend and nemesis
After all you’re my sister
You warm my heart
And boil my blood
I hate you Cora
But you’re also my love...
