Your soft skin is tearing,
Your voice is cracking, trying to sing.
Your hands are shaking, cold chillings runs down your spine.
No escape,
No place to hide.
Inside, you're dying, fighting for the smallest sliver of hope.
You died in that cocoon, you never became a butterfly.
Knifes are ordinairy now, you know them all too well.
As they cut and damage your resolve, you suddenly know it and it occurs to you...

Death is coming for you, it talks, whispers even:
''Go back to sleep my child, you've sufferd enough...''
This poem is dedicated to all the victims who struggle in their teen years, some who did survive self harm, some who didn't....
It is sad how feeling sometimes can destroy us

I have slowly drowned
but with no water in sight,
I try to keep my head above
but im slowly sinking out  of
sight.
  
I struggle, I fight that which
is slowly flowing over me,
Im trying to keep a float,
this is now my hell.
  
I am drowning with no
water in sight, do I give  in
let it take me, or fight and keep
myself  afloat.
  
One day I will learn to swim in
this ocean that is drowning me,
no water  in sight, but for now
I am drowning in despair, I hope
to never give into always fight.

I can see myself sitting
I am low against the ground
My body limp and listless
My cries, they make no sound
Who is this pathetic creature?
I ask now, in despair
She is the girl I never was
But suddenly, she's here
Now, this is where I leave her
This is where I turn away
Because I didn't like things I saw
When I met myself today
Every job is a job
Every cake is a cake
Put on your socks
So your feet are not worn
Put on your shoes
So your socks are not torn
Lay down in bed
Think back on your day
Wake up in mourning
Think forward Today
And it’s always the same
Same old **** in a frame
So bleeding bored
But with no-one to blame
So I look in the mirror
And wrestle my hair
Sculpting an image
That could lead to despair

I'm trying, I swear.
I'm stuck. Trying not to dispair.
It's bitter cold, inside this whole affair.
Frozen words, the only repair.

Help is near.
But I'm swallowed in fear.
Inside out, not one tear.
So close, yet so far, from my soughten cheer.

My instincts abandoned.
My emotions are stranded.
I'm at the precipice of where I've landed.
And nothing is ok, from where I'm standing.

I'm unfolding again.
I watch it begin.
So hold on my loves,
For the girl within, (the original sin).
Former goals long before gone,
broken dreams,
hidden in secret behind friends views,
a life in vain.

Doubtless efforts fruitless taken,
countless beatings endured,
still seeking path to milk and honey,
wondering if it hasn´t already resigned.

Value meaningless,
reduced to sheer nothingness,
clouded vision,
not able to recognize it´s worth.

Neither happiness nor sadness,
behind it´s emotionless face,
killing time with dusty distractions
and waiting for something to happen,
that relightens a fire
well known in former days.
Sometimes your best efforts haven´t the best outcome. And a heart in pain needs words in pain to feel understood. So take as long time as you need ... until you be the one relightening your fire by yourself.
Everybody said, it would become easier over time.
Told me, that everything will work out fine,
when I just live my life without thinking
at all the things that happened before.
Told me, life just means living
without regrets or sorrows
enjoying every day
to the fullest.  

Sometimes  
I believe you tight.
In times with all of you
my negative thoughts fade
and you all may see me smile.
Those are the times I am free again
being the one that you force me to be
in order to see you smile, my dear friends.    
    
Those are the times you can see me alive,
vividly bright and charmingly light;
but those times became rare lately.
Frankly spoken I lost my hope
of something ever to change
and regaining the colour
forcefully bleached
out of my life.
One of my life's motto's is, that life is like a rollercoaster. I wanted to create a poem reflecting this not only in it's words but also it's shape, while staying true to my current life situation.

It's burning in your soul
I know
Pretenscious
And foolish
Reminiscing the pain
Which way
Should I go to turn around?
To see the past
Is to know the future
History repeats itself
And all of that
Making the same mistakes
Everyday
Learn from the past
Make a new future
Travel a new way
Go
Get your life underway
You have a history to make
Challenges to defeat
Life
Its worth discovering
Its truth and dispair
You're alive
Surviving
Find love everywhere

You tell me
Keep pressing forward
but how can I go on
when I've reached the end?
I have no faith left
I'm standing here
With my own two feet
at the end of the eternal line
and no strength left to take another step
for
from now on
each step will be on hot coals
they will burn.
I like here
where it is safe
by the fire
I can bid my time
until I turn around
and take the easy road
back to despair.

It's come to this...
An epic battle?
...Nope...
an amazing duet?
...not even close...


Its come to this, it's simple
a fools remorse, and a lovers choice
Though he had the answer from the start
It never showed its voice

He was to stupid to notice,
Though he does care
So he tries to sort things out
But fails as his screams pierce the air

He talks to himself
as he figures things out
But he is so contradicted
He screams and he shouts

He shouts out the pain
and screams out the tears
while during this whole time
He is quietly drowning in fears

This is a story of a lover
who is also a fool
He makes the wrong choice
and looses his cool

For his fears come around
from every which way
Though he wont speak a word
For he also fears "noway"

So this boy needs to think,
Stop being a fool!
Make the right choice!
And don't lose your cool!

For a lot is at stake with this one little choice
you could ruin your whole life, with one simple voice.
