The scariest thing
is not being able to trust your own mind.
It is my woeful enemy
shooting me from behind.
Filled with nerves and harsh thoughts
i battle salty streaks and stomach knots.
I have no appetite and get no sleep
maybe its why i seem and feel so weak.
And while i try to understand this corruption
the anxiety and depression continue their introductions.
So theres a reason my mind and heart weep
over my broken thoughts that run so deep.
My doctor tells me this is "common"
that "others have it and are doing awesome".
But even though i know the stats
it doesn't make me feel any less like shattered glass.
And at the end this monster will take over
its slowly growing and getting closer and closer.
So dear friend, watch out for your mind
or you'll end up with a monster who is incredibly unkind.

You were the five pm.
The good morning message
The ******* butterflies.
You were the Sunday mornings, the Tuesday afternoons.

But you couldn't be my two am.
My raking fingers
My shaking breath.
Because,
I was too afraid of what happened in the dark to turn out the lights.
Because,
your words only made me feel when they were filled with venom.
Because, when you said you loved me,
I couldn't breathe until I told you I didn't feel the same.
I'm almost too scared to share this, but I'm not really sure why.

Mr ***** said
"Hi",
"How you doing"
"Better than you get some self control"
What can I say I'm bone
Stiff,
Ridged,
White
As a ghost, he had nobody
He was empty inside
In need of feeling,
Not just bone
Cartilage,
Muscle,
Nerves
Were frayed, even though
None were felt, he just wanted to be somebody
Not just a pile of bones,
He would look around
But from his vacant sockets
A tear did
Roll,
Cascade,
Height
It fell from, meeting each rib
Different sounds of sadness
As each tear hit others on the way down,
He was Mr *****, a sad nobody man
He was just bone,
People would always look through him,
Never look him in the face
A smile given, but with nobody
No one knew the sorrow and sadness felt by poor *Mr Bone.

my heart beats fast & my hands shake
i should have stayed at home today
i try to escape my own mind
tug at my clothes & count the time
i can't sit still but i can't move
my mascara runs more than i do
the familiar old knot,
the familiar old sweep,
nostalgia and nerves
always cuts so deep

The scene advanced,
The song started,
And lapsed
Into my psyche
Chords hitting nerves
I'd thought were wasted
And lost
Because I'd left them
Wandering through a maze
Of things
That had messed with them too much
But the song
Was subtle enough
To teach them to feel again
In the way they're supposed to.

For the first time in darkness eyes twinkled
I discovered charm, it held my pupils
Hostage
Nerves sounded out alarms we all know well
To dampen hands and make hearts swell.
For the first time a smile of sweetness, warm like the sun
Surrounded emotion in a magic cape
The mind whispered- “run”
But my shoe laces lay undone,
Caught on twinkling stars and thoughts of true love
Eyes flashed, steaks of colors painted the air
Red, what was felt
Yellow, pondered cards dealt
Green, how we acted
Blue, what we wanted
In purple we flaunted
What we found, for a while kept veiled
Then, blasted from tree tops to distant sails.
From right here right now, until the future avows
Our surrender, enthralling eyes promised vows.
