Writings
I once put my heart in
the hands of a
shallowed shadow man.
Never again...
The ways I love,
oh so shackled in
fairy tale chains.
Comes in caresses of
the small minded;
like us utterly deranged.
Yet, I'm scatting poetry
against the pale moonlight.
Elbow deep in turmoil
without much insight.
Weaving loss where
god inked his famed.
Where angels and demons
all dress the same.
Trivial...
The hammers banging on my head.
The constant wish that I were dead.
(Can replace this line with “these feelings and thoughts i just can’t shed” if I’m preforming it)
My thoughts are so loud,
Like someone is holding shift.
Sound goes away, my only wish.
Silence was a priceless gift.
The shame.
The migraine.
The thought that everyone knows that I’m in pain,
Kinda like fame.
The paperazzi t...
The questions that ring in my mind.
The questions that scream in my mind.
The questions that hiss in my mind.
The questions that sing in my mind.
The questions the questions the questions-
“STOP!”
I scream out.
For a single second, everything is clear.
For a single second, I can finally breathe.
For a single second, my mind is my own.
For a second a second a second-
“WE’RE BACK!”
They scream ou...
Tw⚠️: self harm, knife.
“FUCK YOU” he yells at me whilst i lock myself in a room and he does too
I reach in my closet and pull out my knife
We’ve been fighting everyday for months it was already so loud i roll down my pants and start making my thighs bleed, i think im cutting to hard but i really dont care at this point i cant see, its all so blurry from the tears. I wipe up the blood and wait ...
Silence was a priceless gift,
A mask, a tool, a bloody fist,
One that punches again and again,
As you just stare and stare, I knew it then,
That silence was a priceless gift.
One you unknowingly gave me,
Your lips sealed, blocking a vast sea
Of words you want to say, but don’t,
A secret you swore you’d never tell, and won’t,
One you unknowingly gave me.
Safety from the violent storm,
Saying noth...
A tale I spin, so listen close, I've found, comes people from all over obnoxious and loud.
After hours of labor, in retail's lore,
A moment of respite, a gift to adore.
Oh, silence, you sneaky and elusive friend,
When the day feels long, you gently descend.
A symphony of peace, a temporary release,
From customers who clattered, their voices ceased.
With patience worn thin, and nerves on edge,
I...
you told me:
“i once watched you
sleeping naked in my bed,
curled up and limp,
and i knew
that everything else was bullshit.”
i told you:
“it’s so hard to stay alive these days
or sane,
so let me sleep
while you guard me from it all.”
you told me,
shaken and irritated:
“being in love with you is agonizing,
‘cause one day you’ll stop breathing,
and i already think you’re dying
when you lie ...
Help me. *Help*.
I live within a cacophony. It seizes my heart in an iron-like grip as it roars the roars of a thousand lions. My screams drown in the never-ending noise, and as I close my eyes, my hands over my ears, I suddenly realize...
I can stop this. I can switch the outside off. Turn off the phone notifications. Hey, here's a wild idea... *turn off the phone*.
Turn off YouTube, email, In...
silence was a priceless gift
but i didn’t know it then
because everything is precious
when it has to end
the waves of the quiet
lapped over my wasting corpse
gently lulling me to safety
my body would enforce
but now the noise does choke me
with its dark and sharpened claws
as i scream into the darkness
drowned out by the applause
the thorns drain me of blood
our bodies are packed in
