You hurt my feelings
Phoenix Rising Jan 2018
I don't think he misses me anymore.
I don't think he loves me anymore.
I don't think he is the person he pretends to be....
Phoenix Rising Apr 2020
There is good
and there is bad.
There is happy
and also mad.
Beauty exists
and ugly, too.
But nothing compares
to all of you.
You see, nothing is real
and it's all we have.
Everything real
is made in our heads.
Phoenix Rising May 2015
I feel legitimately sad
and I hate that it's uncontrollable
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
High degree of lunacy from the lack of meaning in her life.
She did what she wanted, yet I don't think she wanted anything.
A dead stare she carried closely almost everywhere she went.
I overheard her saying the world is broken.
No, she is broken.

i wish someone taught me
how to love,
to feel compassion,
hold ambition...
i guess we can't all be lucky
and have loving parents...

i'll just use my intuition.
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
soft spokenly
a token of gratitude
to thee
what seems as imperfection
is great perfection
to me
never change
never want to be
some one else's arrange
Phoenix Rising Mar 2018
I'm pathetic...
All I do is talk about you like you're still mine...
"*** bf would do that"
Who am I kidding
I did this to myself
Phoenix Rising Mar 2018
Couldn't see the beauty in me
******* someone else will someday
Done not being good enough for you
Phoenix Rising Feb 2018
You don't love me
Phoenix Rising Apr 2017
I hold all the cards...
But why am I only showing
the bad ones?
I see your eyes and what they are saying.
You are ready to leave...

Why do I create so much chaos?
I do it all by myself.
Then, like always,
Everyone runs away from me.
And I feel relieved.
Phoenix Rising Mar 2020
Loney people
are the best
Company.
Phoenix Rising Oct 2017
hip hopping
all the way,
swinging off the wagon.
Phoenix Rising Jan 2015
a prickling tickle I get from a love that's fickle
is sometimes desirable to a girl young and nimble
her mind is more rapid than the body itself
wants to feel her seat being tugged out from beneath her

she is aware a fickle love is unstable
her parents are a prime example of that label
give me the sweet gore that comes with
ever-changing pursuits of psuedo-fun

Abuse can be present and still be so subtle that the person doing the abuse and the person experiencing the abuse don’t realize what is happening at the time. Not everything is text-book perfect, in life. Not everything is black and white. Abuse isn’t always intentional. Screaming every day, ignoring every day, choosing partners over child, choosing partners’ offspring over your own child, belittling, singling out, calling out, never touching, quick changing-environments (moving in with boyfriend’s after only a couple months, risking child’s safety—which includes mental health)…..is a form of abuse and neglect.  Please understand that I must emphasize how this was literally every day of my life. Constant chaos is all I know.

I am a warrior. I just haven’t reached the good part of that story in my life, yet. I like to think someday, all this **** I went through was for something.  I hope that something is me becoming strong. I hope I truly understand how to use the pain of the past as a tool to get me through tougher times. I hope that this wasn’t all for nothing. I will never recreate that hell for my own child, that’s for sure.
Phoenix Rising Mar 2018
I'm in ******* hell *** I cant take this
Phoenix Rising Mar 2018
I really don't see the point any more
Phoenix Rising Apr 2015
The birds are debating.
It's 5 A.M.
Why the **** am I awake?
Phoenix Rising Mar 2020
I am destroyed
and broken.
Unhappy token,
in a crowd
of smiling masks.
I'm the opening scene
of an antidepressant commercial.
I shed my skin at night
at the end of a bottle
or two.
I always wake up, though,
thinking of you.
I don't even remember you.
I know I've made you up
inside my messy head.
That's what I tell myself
so I don't cry when
I wake up in someone else's bed.
I'm slutty
and used
and tired.
I'm so tired.
Phoenix Rising Apr 2020
It's been really,
really  hard
to let you
go.
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
Benadryl hums it's numbing song and I dim down the lights to surrender from my wobbly eyes.
Phoenix Rising Dec 2017
hey world,
i'm doing okay.
as okay as a person with
severe anxiety and depression
can be.
i should be writing more...
channeling my pain and whatnot.
but sometimes i can't get out of bed
or even find the energy to talk...
so i may be m.i.a. for a while
until i find the energy.
Phoenix Rising Apr 2020
How could you
take all of my love
just to toss me to the side
the moment you're bored.
I wish you never
said all the things to make me
love you.
Now I'm left confused
and used.
Phoenix Rising Nov 2014
I wish I liked nice guys, but I always fall for the ******.
Phoenix Rising Nov 2014
Dense, hugging fractal frenzy
O green queen
Rooted soul, in tune universally
Quiet earthly whispers
Still
And not afraid to be naked
Grouped, but never identical
I admire you, you are my idols
Phoenix Rising Oct 2014
Hey, are you okay?
You look like you need a friend
Averted stare, unmanaged hair, fresh wet skin under those eyes
Hey, are you okay?
I think we have all been there
Disturbed, unheard, horribly impaired

I love you and even if I didn't
There are a million--no, billions who would love you in a minute
Don't dread and tread all over that beautiful mind
I'll take you in and call you mine

Fix you up, give you strength
Until you are ready to take the lengths
Walk on your own again, remember how bliss feels
I'll give you my heart as a meal
Eat it up, love for two
And if I fall back you'll be ready to catch me

The never ending cycle of needing one another
Phoenix Rising Aug 2017
O, the flow rolls
like the way our bodies do.
You look at me,
I look at you.

This is so much more than touch.
Your hands are on my body but
I feel them on my love.
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
I fall in love
because I am afraid to be alone
Phoenix Rising Jan 2015
childlike fascination
mystery obsession
...
terrarium in a cranium
barefoot expedition
...
valley sea
mushroom haven
...
fairy stars between trees
full jar
Phoenix Rising Jul 2023
Sometimes… I really think,
truly think,
I want to be dumb and
succumb to the numb.
Being above-average
in self-awareness and
awareness in general
is a curse.
I can appreciate
the complexities and intricacies
in every day life…But
****,
do I feel so alone…
Because everybody else
seems pretty
content with average.
Why
Phoenix Rising Sep 2015
Why
I fill my life with something to love
It makes me feel emptier
My thoughts become hyperactive
I don't hate myself

Why
What's missing
What am I doing wrong
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
I have a job
It's pretty odd
I babysit drunk friends

*Grown *** men
Phoenix Rising Nov 2014
Blend in, until the end begins, because I am afraid we have crossed into the deep end.
We are egotistical animals who proudly fight for ideas that are no more than mere words that have created a reality. This reality.
Oblivious of the barbaric nature behind our sophisticated speeches that explain mutilation of another race, we praise the beheading of our brothers. I love you all. Why do you hurt me? Why do you hurt each other?
Phoenix Rising Jan 2015
My sharp teeth grip livid bruises onto my tongue
Never saying what I'd like to portray

I am incapable of transferring my emotions into language
My only apparatus is "my mind" and it's unequipped for this life

Maybe I am incompetent?
But surely, there is a way to use my time peacefully...

Words just spill out onto the screen of my laptop
And suddenly it becomes a subject I had no preparation for
Hah, sounds like my life
You
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
You
I love the sound of your lip bouncing back from my pulling bites,    
  the breathy laughs and seductive gasps          
How your touch is gentle but assertive    
           and how you leave me needing more
Phoenix Rising Oct 2014
Last night, I adventured up onto a mountain
Shady trees and familiar acquaintances who I like
Nobodies who enjoy crawling into cracks and crevices
Because the streets are unstimulating

We reach the edge of the world
Look down, must of been 2,000 feet
Kings and Queens
We owned the city, because we had their lights in our hands

That was a night I will relive
Over, and over, and over, and over
I feel alive, I feel aware when I am with you all
It doesn't matter if we had a past or not

You matter
And you made an impact
And you have an affect on my memories
And you made my night memorable

We rule
Because we think we rule
And that is all that matters
All that matters is what you think of yourself
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
Fear is a man-made obstacle course
That you push yourself to relive before trying out

Fear is becoming unnatural
Because it's no longer about surviving violence

Fear is all in your head
All you have to do is not fear
The key is in your hand, why don't you unlock the door? Theres never a good enough reason to be afraid to try something that may result in pure happiness. Never let anyone take that from you, do what you love and yearn to do.
Phoenix Rising Dec 2014
The moment you took your last breath,
and I heard the croak dissipate into the corner of the room
Your body took form of a silhouette
and now you're nameless

You are more than who you were when you had a name
Yet everyone treats your death with shame
my depiction on after life
Phoenix Rising Oct 2019
teach me how to shine,
you make it look so easy.
you give me butterflies,
it makes me so queasy.
my knees bend and shiver
when you smile in my direction.
i wonder why you love me
while i stare at my reflection.
you're everything to me,
i want to show you the world.
i wanna be your everything,
i just wanna be your girl.
Phoenix Rising Mar 2016
Humans tend to make me cringe
fold like paper; thrown into the bin
I don't wanna be seen even though I exist
Carelessly crafted by anxious hands
I've been written up just to be written off

— The End —
