Hey.
I know you don’t know me.
And you never will.
But you’re amazing.
No matter what.
anyone else thinks.
Though I’ll never.
Apply good advice to myself.
The world was cruel to me.
Even though I was.
So kind..
Death.
Dead.
Silent.
Silence.
Peace.
Maybe.
Slash.
Fall.
I can’t.
Your me.
I’m nothing.
I try.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
STOP.
STOP.

My mind is poison.
Self destructive, killing me slowly.
My mind is a poison.
My thoughts are poison.
Self deprecating, making me doubt.
My thought are poison.
My mouth is poison.
Self sabotaging, hurting everyone.
My mouth is poison.
My body is poison.
Self mutilating, inflicting pain.
My body is poison....
you forced your way into my mind.
Seeped into my vains and tainted my blood.
A sensation both deadly and kind.
A tide that gently rises then builds into a flood.
You whispered in my ear
promises you never intended to keep.
You warmed me with fire and blanketed me with fear,
and put all my strident thoughts to sleep.
So i lie still as your poison claims me.
Az it erases and rewrites.
A p...
The words shooting
Out of your mouth
They are quite
Venomous and
Poisonous
They hurt
I’ll admit it
But a little bit of
Poison doesn’t kill you
And overtime, with the
Little doses I’ve been taking,
I think I’m immune
Or at least, I know
How to wear a mask
I can’t keep myself from
Immediately overthinking, but
It’ll only bother me for a day or two
Then, I’ll just
Stop caring
Sometime...
you poison my thoughts
flowing through every vein of my body
i need an antidote, a cure, a remedy
the universe
not revolving around the sun
but revolving around you
if i’m honest
you always outshone the sun and the stars and the moon
i need an antidote, a cure, a remedy
but to be fair
it is not you who poisons my thoughts
how could it be you
if you’re my antidote, my cure, my remedy...
In the quiet dusk, she took her shower,
The evening hers, a fleeting hour,
A robe wrapped soft, around her frame,
The twilight's glow, a gentle flame.
She fed the dog, and stirred the pot,
The kitchen warm, the wine uncorked,
The scent of meals, a labor sweet,
She danced to an unhurried beat.
He walked in tired, from a long day’s grind,
A request made, not unkind,
“Take the dog out,” his voice d...
I am surrounded by poison—
Along the path, wispy hemlock sways,
Representing a beautiful design of light lace.
White bells of lily of the valley
Ornate every point and pace.
I am surrounded by poison—
Serpents in shapes of humans
Bite me with bitter words,
Causing me to falter
And turn into an utterly sullen coward.
I am surrounded by poison—
My dreadful thoughts scream
Telling me lies and t...
She’s poison I tell you
You take a little shot and she’s there
She’s in your veins taking over
You can’t escape her, it’s unfair
She seeps her way into your soul
She controls your every thought and act
She disguises herself with kind words and love
She destroys you though, it’s a fact
She’s poison though
She hides in your veins
She waits for the right time to strike
Then she leaves yo...
**We are one page in the book of life **
**Every character has shared our strife. **
**We are so smart, some will say **
**Only clever creatures live this way,**
**With barren lands of tired soil **
**Where fires burn and oceans boil. **
**We think our words and language rare, **
**How unique to mark paper with care; **
**As Beetles burrow and carve up trees **
**Moths make lines within the leave...
TW: **cursing **
I wish I could have seen it earlier
The signs were so clear from the start
The cursing,
The slurs,
The talking right behind their back,
The not listening,
I could go on and on…
You,
You
Are
Poison
It’s not a “micro-aggression,” if you know what exactly your saying
It’s not “internalized homophobia or racism” if I never said a single fucking thing about my identity
