I think I’ve lost my sanity
There’s no turning back
I’ve lost the battle
My mind now shattered

The demons laugh
They poke and ****
Pushing me further back
Into my own dark mind

They call me names
Scream profanity
Making me hate myself
Even more than I already do

I just want to go back
To a time where I was safe
Protected from the demons
Who devour my mind

I lost sight
Of what I had
The demons came out
To ruin my life

They pushed me too far
This time there is no stopping
The actions in which will happen
To stop them once and for all

To those who they hurt
I am so sorry
I wish I could have stopped them
I wish you could understand

I wasn’t in control
I had no memories of what happened
And because of their actions
I lost my only protection

The light which shown through the darkness
The one who could pull me out of my head
But it’s too late now
I’ll never get your light back

They have destroyed your faith in me
And in doing so destroyed my will
I’m sorry but I’m not strong enough
To face this battle alone

So I surrender
I forfeit the fight
For how can I possibly win
When I can’t see anything but darkness

My quiet place is no longer quiet

My sanctuary built inside skull  has blood spilled on its white marble walls

This life I escape wormed it's way through and is slowly occupying my refuge

This lifestyle I lead finally overtakes my one area of stability

And now peaceful palace harbored in my head has become a living hell
They say find your happy place but even my happy place is sad now

I'm just so addicted to the feeling of feeling. Of wishing for something more because this can't be it. I want fireworks, smiles that stops the heart, the softest touch of your hand against my waist, explosions and gasps saying all that our mouths can't say when we're breathing in each other. I want a love that you can really feel, that you can touch. I want eyes talking, staring hungrily at me like they just can't have enough. Kisses adoring every inch of my body and you grabbing my hips because you just need me closer to you. I want that. Even if it's just in my head, I want it. So I stay dreaming all my awaken time, knocking me over to feel something more than this nothingness, turning me inside out to find a new angle where I might meet you. Through movies, books, even my own texts. Because I need to feel it to soften this longing. I need to feel like there's something more waiting for me than just these ordinary emotions, this neutral life.

I was the kid always falling from the branch,
      the other kids laughed, thinking I wasn't

nimble fingered, but as I saw it I was the only
one not scared to fall any distance..

    Because I'd know that I would get up again.

They would never know the amount of falls it
                        would take for determination

to allow me to stand with my head up high...

The same goes for love, I thought I could fall.
                 But rejection doesn't bruise

it hurts deeper inside.

And you were always there..

Don't let a tumble blemish that feeling inside,
            you'll find it again.


It may take time,  like finding wally in that book.

But once you find it you'll know its unique..
                         Because it was harder to find...

So just remember it may not be a long fall..
   but it'll always hurt.

If you ever need me, I'm here.
                No matter the amount of tears


i'll dry them up.

When the feeling wells up
I feel warmth,
I feel safe... almost

But eventually I feel scared too.
Of what I’m not sure.
Losing,
Never having at all,
Trying.

Holding,
Kissing,
Feeling.

Feeling.
Feeling like I could blink and this would all disappear.
Are you here?

I hope so; because you make me smile
and I think,
I want this.

the feeling of
uncertainty
creeping up
my spine
makes my
head twirl
in an attempt
to keep all
my thoughts
in place.

What if all our thoughts
Hiding away in our head
Not being anymore there
Were told out loud, were said
