Watch Band
Empire Dec 2019
Trigger warning: Cutting, self harm


Not technology
Not an accessory
Not a tool
Not a clock
Not a device
Not jewelry

My watch is a mask
A disguise, a cover
For the darkness I hide

As long as it’s there
As long as it stays put
They’ll never know
That underneath
There are marks which prove
Irrefutably
I’m living a lie
I’m not alright

But I can keep it quiet
Hiding my wounds
Beneath my watch band
An old one I found written on October 1. It's still shockingly relevant....

What Keeps Them Alive
Empire Dec 2019
Trigger warning: Suicide


What’s it like
To want to live?
To fall asleep with a desire to wake?

How do you look forward to things
When everything is wrong
And excitement
Only brings disappointment?

I can’t remember
Days I wanted to be alive

I can’t find anything worth living for
I can feel it in my body
The aching everywhere
Crying out in existential agony
Because I don’t want to be here
And it knows that
My heart and body know it
But I can’t... I can’t quite do it

So I just... I wonder about people
What keeps them all alive?

They have something I do not

But I fear it’s something I cannot have
Dec 2019 · 305
Lonely Room
Empire Dec 2019
Why would you bring me here
And surround me by things I can’t have
Just drown me in temptation
That I can’t give in to
And you won’t talk to me
Because I’m not fun
Because I can’t drink with you
So I’m just sitting here
Alone
Isolated
Depressed
Waiting for all you drunk idiots
To just let me leave

It hurts to want so badly to be a part of it all
To need to be included
But to be sitting on the edge of the room
Counting down the minutes
Until I can just leave you all alone
To enjoy yourselves
Dec 2019 · 173
Shaky
Empire Dec 2019
My hands are shaking
My heart is picking up speed
It could be situational
It could be anxiety
It could be side effects
It could be withdrawal
It could be anything tbh
But I’m really messed up
So I suppose
I’ll pop a few more pills
I can still take three more today...
Dec 2019 · 69
Meaningless
Empire Dec 2019
Listening to ****** music
Fake, false, empty, shrill
Making small talk
Dealing with ridiculous complaints
Grating on my nerves
It’s all so ******* meaningless
Everything is void
I just wanna drift away
Medicate and cloud my brain
Go delirious and wild
Cause everything
It’s all
So
****
Meaningless
The emptiness of today is causing a lot of anxiety
Dec 2019 · 100
Burn
Empire Dec 2019
My eyes burn with sleep
As I prepare my body
For basic presentation
But I just want to lie here
Drowsy and calm
I don’t want to work
Just sleep
She wanted me sedated
So I wouldn’t try anything
And ****... it works
Dec 2019 · 440
Drift
Empire Dec 2019
I just... I just...
I just wanna lie in bed...
Take some more pills...
Take several more pills...
Until I drift back to sleep
Away from life
To be suspended in the unconscious
To forget
To flee
To escape
Dec 2019 · 104
Lovely, Merciful Drugs
Empire Dec 2019
Mmm... yes...
I love my drugs
I’ll take them all
I want them
I want more
Mm... calm and comfy
Secure and sleepy
And if I could lower my inhibitions
Just a tad...
I could swallow them like candy
Dec 2019 · 243
To feel okay
Empire Dec 2019
Tbh... I don’t even mind the pills
I’ll take whatever you give me
And maybe a little more
I just want to feel okay
And if they can give me that
****... I’ll swallow the entire bottle
Officially taken more than prescribed... tbh not even sort of regretting it
Dec 2019 · 292
Medicated
Empire Dec 2019
I just took so many drugs
I hope they make me ill
I hope they make me sleep
Just... just let me drift away
I’ll be someone else
She said I could take another...
Why do want to keep taking more...
I feel like I’m becoming quite heavily medicated

Honestly though, I really love the sedatives
Dec 2019 · 359
Mind Games
Empire Dec 2019
I feel like I’m playing a game
Of antidepressant roulette
Maybe this
No that
A little more
Will this one work??
Um... try three...?
Oh and btw,
They might make you wanna die
Ya know... more than you already do
Spin the wheel
Which is it this month?
I’m sick of playing games
I sick of taking drugs
This is what I get
For being honest with my doctor

drowsy.... drifting...
Empire Dec 2019
I don’t need this medication
It’s not helpful
But man... I keep wanting to take it...
Every night it’s like a treat...
Swallow the clonidine
Then very very soon...
Sleepiness sets in
Getting drowsy....
Mind... drifting....
Until sleep.... sleep saves me
My rescue from the pain
It’s a good medication
I don’t need it
But I really really like it....
Mmm.... goodnight, everyone...

i need a drink
Empire Dec 2019
i need a drink
a shot
another
another
another.... a few more
i don't wanna think
i don't wanna remember
i don't wanna feel
i don't wanna be able to walk
i want to feel the poison in my veins
i want to forget it all
i want to feel okay
i want to be as unsteady as i feel
i want to stagger with my legs
as i already do in my mind
i want to require clear care
because apparently scars aren't enough
i just... i just want out

jealous
Empire Dec 2019
i've always been jealous
of the people who drink
to drown their sorrows
the ones who use chemicals to run away
and i've always wondered
why they never asked me
if i wanted to run with them
because my suffering is great
i really would love nothing more
than to ruin myself
get dizzy... weak... wild
**** the consequences
and i want it so badly it hurts
just... just give me a night of escape
let me be free for a little bit
just let me try
please.
please?
i'm begging
i'm pleading
i need something
i can't take this
i need to run
it's cowardly and i want it

bleeding and laughing
Empire Dec 2019
trigger warning: idk blood


i must be losing my mind

sitting here staring at the blood on my wrist
man... it's all over my wrist....
i could do more... but i ought to stop

but here i am...
just looking at it...
laughing...

i've found myself
in some delirious place
where the pain... it's funny
'cause there's so much
it's so ******* bad...
all i can do
is laugh
and bleed
and cry
i really need to not be sober right now
but i don't have a **** choice

blood-stained
Empire Dec 2019
trigger warning: self harm, cutting


unsheathed my blade
and held it to the light
and there, along the edge
a line of red
dried on
from night after night
of being used
over and over and over
in a desperate, futile attempt
to feel something
to control something
to see the damage
to see the pain
to attain release

and as i clean my blade
i'll wipe away the bit of me it took
to make myself bleed
so many times....
all over...
and then
i'll put it away
and move to wipe
my blood-soaked wrist

wrong
Empire Dec 2019
It's all wrong
It all keeps going wrong
When was the last time
I cared
I enjoyed
I smiled
I laughed
I felt something
I felt alive
?

I can take something going wrong
Bandage the wounds and carry on
Then another blow
Knocks me off balance
But I get back up

But when I'm enduring
blow after blow after blow
wound after wound after wound
disappointment
betrayal
loss
isolation
loneliness
inadequac­y

I CAN'T TAKE IT ALL

I cannot withstand perpetual suffering
I can't ******* do it
I can't remember why I'm alive
I feel dead
cold
numb
empty

AND

I

JUST

WANT

TO

END

IT

ALL

I’m hardly tired
But I just wanna sleep
Took the the pills so early...
In desperation
In the hope
That they’ll show me mercy
And lull me into slumber
To save me from myself

Battlefield
Empire Dec 2019
On the ****** battlefield she stands
She can’t feel her wounds anymore
Pain so intolerable she’s gone numb
Her shield shattered
Sword too heavy for her fatigued limbs

To take a step forward
She musters all her strength
Then falls to her knees
The shield slides from her arm

Her hand can no longer grasp the sword
And allows the blade to fall beside her
Where she lies
Weak, helpless

Her strength fails her
And weaker and weaker
Her heartbeat grows
Waiting to stop
Eagerly anticipating
That one last breath
Dec 2019 · 213
Surrender
Empire Dec 2019
trigger warning: suicide


I’m losing my mind
And I can ******* feel it
Darkness
Emptiness
Craziness
Insanity
It’s setting in
It’s settling in
Fast.
I won’t be able to fight it
Not this time
I’m getting closer
I’m losing my grip
It’s getting real
And I might just do it
I might just take my life
I’m done with it
But I can’t
I can’t do it
I just... I just want to
I want to give up
I want to surrender

to clear the fog
Empire Dec 2019
Trigger warning: self harm


And here we are again
Another day lost to depression
There's so much to do
Can't clear my head of this noise...
I just want to spend some time
Taking care of myself
Or enjoying something
But I have things to do
Work to be done

and i know how to do it
i can quiet the noise
it's not hard
just a bit messy
i just... i just need a little...
a few delicate slits
right on the wrist
shock me back into existence
jolt me back to reality

i need it
i need to bleed for a little while
to clear the fog
to quiet the noise
to get me to focus
to get the work done
i... i have to...
i'll sort out coping strategies later
'cause right now
right now i need this.
now my wrist is stained red

Thrill Me
Empire Dec 2019
explicit content


So, here's what you're going to do
Place your hands on my waist
C'mon, dear, like you mean it!

Alright now pull my hips to yours
Yes, that'll do nicely
So I can feel your body against mine
Now, kiss me gently, lovingly
And then again like you need me
Like you lust after me
Like I excite you

Now, pull away and I'll bite my lip
To hold the place of your tongue
Tear my shirt off over my head
Throw it somewhere
Undress me quickly
Show me you need my body

And together we'll fall on the mattress
Where we entangle ourselves in lust
Mmm.... darling you excite me
And clearly I you...

Now ******* thrill me.

I'll put you on your back
Lie flat and let me take you!
I'll have you now
Fingers trace your v-line down...
Wrap myself around you
As we're both hit with pleasure

Our bodies scream for more
As I tease you from above

Oh, but you won't have that, will you?
No, what a powerful man
Take over
I'll surrender

If you make me

Throw me aside and make me your slave
Touch anything you like
I'm yours tonight
Let me feel the strength in your arms... in your hips
Tell me you CRAVE more of me
Be cruel, be kind
Set me on fire with bliss
Darling, more!

Yes... yes there... right there.... that's it now...
Yes... a bit more... go on...
MORE!

then it hits.
the rush.
the flood.
and as it fades I'll scream for you to do it again!
let's get it back, shall we?
mm... yes... yes that's it, dear...
keep giving me that...
make me your woman.
Found I had a bit of ****** energy that needing releasing...

Rules
Empire Nov 2019
Perhaps rules really were
Meant to be broken
Checkpoints, goals, objectives
You’re developed, you’re grown
When you’ve learned the secret
That rules weren’t intended to be followed
Not precisely, for certain
Everyone at some point must learn
To bend the rules

So... what does that make me?
The respecter of rules.
I did everything you asked
I took all the precautions
Memorized the guidelines
Never broke a rule

Am I... am I to be broken in their place?

A Good Deal
Empire Nov 2019
If the opportunity arose
I’d jump at the chance.
I’d sell my soul to liquor
And consider it
A very good deal
I don’t want a drink; I want to take shots ‘til I can’t remember my name.

I’m sober by law not by choice.

Vices
Empire Nov 2019
I want to drink tonight
I want to forget
I want to lose myself
I want to relinquish control
I want to feel the giddy bliss
I want to relax
I just want a **** drink
Or several... or... ten...
But they won’t let me yet
I don’t get the privilege
Have to sit through the pain
While you all enjoy your vices
I don’t care if it destroys me
I can’t stand being sober
Nov 2019 · 405
Not for Me
Empire Nov 2019
I don’t want this
I don’t want to be sober
I don’t want to be successful
I don’t want to be whatever you all wanted

But yes... I understand.
Happiness is not for me.

In Her Desperation
Empire Nov 2019
Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting, substance abuse


the ceaseless agony
she endures and endures and endures....
until the burdens force her knees to give
everything weighs so heavily on her
and in her desperation
what else could a suffering mind do
but frantically seek refuge
earnestly pursuing escape....

the meds aren't enough
the pain cuts through them
so she wonders....
how many could she take?
two... three little white pills?
might it help?

she knows they'd notice the missing bottles
but she longs for a heavy intoxication
a dumb bliss
a few hours of happiness
let the pain melt away
replace it with stupor

so she considers lesser options
she could binge eat for mild pleasure
intertwined with heavy guilt
she could **** herself
oh right.... she can't because of the meds
nothing else offers her any feeling
she seeks emotionally charged art
music, poetry, shows
but it's not enough
it's never enough

so, in her desperation
when all else has failed
when the agony is unbearable
no solace in sight
she opens the drawer
in the safety of her room
uncaps her tool
sterilizes the edge
sets the metal to her skin
and drags it across
'til she drips red
Nov 2019 · 306
Gone
Empire Nov 2019
Look at her
Look into her eyes
Where has the light gone?
Her life has been drained
There’s only emptiness now
Her vibrancy gone
The blue in her eyes
It’s turned to ice
Her soft, tender heart
Has quit beating
Leaving an eerie silence behind
There’s nothing left of her
Of who she was
Or of who she is
Because there’s just... just nothing
Her presence, her soul
Gone void
A vacuum
And she’s left utterly empty
She’s gone.

Relief
Empire Nov 2019
Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting, suicidal thoughts


If she drives the blade deep enough
Will it fix her?
As crimson pours out of her skin
Slowly seeping out
She feels... relief
finally... relief...
Like releasing her life force
Setting herself free
She watches as the blade moves
Allowing it to do what it will
It doesn't matter anymore
If it eases her hell... it'll do
Each stroke more desperate than the last
A need to feel
So she digs it in deeper
She draws it out longer

And, as always,
There's this thought
That one so terrible she tries to ignore
The thought.... to make it fatal

Strong suicidal ideation tonight...

Slipping
Empire Nov 2019
It's all slipping
Everything is getting worse
Worse..... and worse....
The cuts are getting deeper
The scars are staying longer
The thoughts are growing louder
Everything is falling apart
I thought... I thought I could do it
I thought I could hold myself together
But the strain... it's wearing on me
The fatigue is making me weak
I've begun slipping...
All the pieces of my life
Falling from my grasp
In a violent cascade
I don't even want to try anymore
I just want to let them crash to the ground
Shatter like glass
As they slip from my fingertips

Then and only then
Will I be able to finally surrender
When I hear the darkness calling my name
Drawing me to the edge of the chasm
And maybe
If I'm very lucky
I'll slip
How merciful that would be...

I seem to be experiencing suicidal ideation tonight

Slits
Empire Nov 2019
Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting


How could it be that the blood on my wrist
Brings peace to my troubled mind
Forces a sharp focus
Evens my frantic breath
It's what I needed
I needed this
I needed these slits
Nov 2019 · 580
Unstable
Empire Nov 2019
I can't bring myself to concentrate
Sit in class and find myself somewhere else
I'm either depressed or anxious
It's always crippling
Meds just make it all worse
Consequences are getting closer
They're going to call me lazy
They'll tell me it's my fault
I'll believe them
But I'm not capable of more
I'm not stable
I can't function
I can't do all this
It's too much
I can feel the panic
It'll come tonight for certain
I'm not stable
I'm not okay
I'm falling
Drowning
Fading
Dying
Nov 2019 · 576
I didn't mean to...
Empire Nov 2019
I didn't mean to fall in love
Especially with you
Not like this
I can't have you
You'll never be mine
It was too good to be true
You were everything I wanted
You could've been what I needed
I wanted you with me
I wanted you forever
But it could never be
So instead we circle around
Landing blows
Our hearts aching
My world crashing down around me
And all I wanted...
I just wanted to be with you
But it can't be
So I cry and I scream
Writhing in the agony
Of falling in love
With the man
That I can't have

salvation
Empire Nov 2019
i don't wanna hear it
i want to fall
i want to lose whatever made me human
whatever created this
i want it gone
i'll abolish it
exterminate myself
i don't want to be saved
no... no don't weep, darling
i can't feel a thing
i want this
to just... slip
right out of grace
let go of life
let go of your detestable expectations
remember those?
you thought they'd make me better
make me good
but they broke me
do you understand?
i am broken
you did this
you broke me
and because i know you need it
to ease your nagging guilt
i don't want it

i don't want to be saved
just trying to feel something

toxic
Empire Nov 2019
poured the poison down my throat
just to numb the pain
the overwhelming pain
and I poured... and poured
take it slow... then a bit braver...
a shot... another...
another.... another...
til my limbs felt loose
the room swayed
and I just... I just felt good
the pain... had melted away
just as I had desired
just as I had craved
and I loved it
every moment

Ecaspe
Empire Nov 2019
I;ve done it
escaped
from that ******* hell i''ve been livng in
can't ******* think striaght
but i don;t feel the pain
I can dance and be free
and just not give a ****
hahahahaha I WIN
Intoxication and rock music are a good pair

When I close my eyes
Empire Nov 2019
I know
It ends when I close my eyes
Once I sleep
I won’t get this back
Not for a long time
So I don’t want to ******* sleep!
I wanna dance :D
But I have responsibilities
Well **** them!
Lemme enjoy my ******* life
I don’t get to
EVER
So let me just like
Have this ONE
Just the one
Mmkay?
Alright

Drunk
Empire Nov 2019
I’d never been drunk before
But six drinks in
I’m certain
I don’t want to be sober
Cause sober...
Sober’s all those things...
Pain and grief and... sadness
Sober is depression
Everything is so good now
Don’t take this from me
I’m happy
Finally
Ahaha I’m intoxicated lolol

I'm tired of this
ALL OF IT!!!

None of you want me
None you desire me
None of you!
You don't care for me
You don't care about me
You don't take care of me

YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELVES
You care when it makes you look good
You care when it's convenient
But I'm falling
It's dark here
I can feel it in my heart
As it grows colder
...colder...

and i've come to hate my heartbeat
because it's this constant ******* reminder
that i have to keep ******* living
breathing
though i've no desire to do so
i don't want it
i don't want to keep going
I'M WEARY
just leave me to ******* die

Version of Me
Empire Nov 2019
There was a version of me
That wanted this
That wanted what I now have
Doing all the “functional” things
Looking alive
But she never could have anticipated this
I hate it
I don’t want it

ANY OF IT!!!

Take all this **** away from me
Just let me live
I know I’m betraying her
I’m betraying her dreams
I don’t want to give up on her
But she was misguided and confused
And now I’m suffering for it
I don’t want this
I don’t want this life
I don’t
I don’t
I don’t

TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!!!

My heart screams
As the first tears in ages
Well up in my eyes
But they won’t fall
Because I’m not that sad
There’s too much serotonin in me
And dopamine
And norepinephrine
Because I’m ******* drugged
And I want to WEEP
But... I... I can’t...
I’m just unsteady
Unstable
I’m not okay
I’m not okay

I AM NOT OKAY

Only Asleep
Empire Nov 2019
I needed a warm embrace
So I dreamt one up
Kind and strong
Arms holding me tight to your chest
And you stayed
For so long...
Just let me melt into you
Let me feel safe
Like you cared
I knew you wouldn’t let me go

But I woke up

And remembered

It only happens

When I’m asleep.
Dreams are getting so vivid and full of longing

Binge
Empire Nov 2019
Can’t feel anything
They drug me so I don’t cut
So I don’t **** myself
Won’t let me drink
Can’t get high
Can’t even **** myself
So instead
I ate... and ate...
Til my stomach hurt
Forcing it down
Feel the carbs increase my heart rate
Tiny bursts of mild pleasure
Turning into gluttonous lethargy
I guess I felt something
Nov 2019 · 428
Drugged
Empire Nov 2019
I feel ******* drugged
I mean... yeah... I guess I am...
Artificial feelings
Laughing a bit too long...
Missing things...
Miscounting..
I’m just... scattered
But I feel okay
I feel better...?
