all your lovers of summer whisper soundlessly
against my collared [owned]
existence.
airy spirits of longing sleep
unseen by anyone
except me,
and yet these
flickers of response aren't
noticeable.
I?
desolate and weak.
my heart remains and feels the sight
like an eternity of bleach down my throat
or glass in my eyes
or fingernails ripped
or neck broke
or burn marks
or bites
or the Judas Cradle
or the Blood Angel
or the Swedish Drink
or White Torture
or disembowelment
or Scaphism
except worse.
The thoughts are whirlwinds,
or maybe whirlpools
because I'm drowning
in the same way that you drown me out.

Perfect body
Perfect mind
It’s all we strive for
A perfect life
The nights are slow
But the years go fast
We work hard to not show weakness
Appearances matter
When we want to show we’re doing just fine

I don’t want to live a life without regret
I just want to be like you
I find you special
For your own ways
I want to be on your wavelength
Never mind of who I am
My old self never stood a chance
I just want to be noticed
Even if it means I have to wear a mask

The sun will shine soon
And a new day will arise
I let go of my old self
It’s time to give up the past
But when you’re no longer my passion
Then who will succeed your place
I just want to be perfect
Even if it means
I’ll never be the same

Wake up and get out of bed. I am so ashamed of the hearts I break and this hurt won’t go away

The sun rises and I fall. I told them I wasn’t that strong
Hey, it’s been a minute! Just another sad poem. I hope you enjoy and leave a comment.❤️❤️

My winter child one of a kind
Full of warmth and full of light
You got the face of your father
Eyes of an angel
You look like your mother
hope you got heart of your father strong and simple
But if you got my heart baby, I'm sorry it'll be hard life
so be brave and be kind not like your mother child, who shakes every time the branches hit the windows sight
a note to winter child

My courage
My strength
My bravery

It's all a show for those who see
Inside I'm hoping no one will test them
And see that they break in use
in practice
in walk
like brittle bones
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease that causes bones to break easily.

A drop of water
Almost empty, just a quarter
A rain drop daily
Light is fading,darkness... maybe
A wave, an unexpected splash
Feeling weak , I just crashed
Rivers flowing, oceans wild
Its all gone, I just died.

Ask it.

And mirror marked
Of grime, and dirt

Lines, white
Razor perfect

Eyes that haunt
My own

Approaches
A simple device
Of a vice

Choices

I find myself
This familiarity
Strings to hands
Leading feet

Want, need
To not
And no longer
Be that one

This used to numb
Thoughts are
Are not

The intentions
Put to sound
Shaky tired voice

Help me

Breathe it in
While facing
His gaze is
I
Am

Sorry





Again
Denial addiction struggles medicating disappointing failing sick weak disease excuses forgiving needs bad choices helpme
What is new?
My eye knows your view
And remembers your way

To talk and explain
To say how you are weak
I fell in that plan

When then I see
You, I forget
And listen to you again

I fell in that plan
As I forget everything
And remember any thing

Belongs to your smart
whn one descides to mett his lover with his mind , he falls in trouble and gets his mind in long vacation and remebers only the smart

I was told that some people
are born to be leaders,
and other people
are born to be followers.

my depression has sent me
on a downward spiral,
and I know that
I can't stay strong forever.
I won't stand tall forever.

am I a leader?
when I fall, will I take
anyone else down with me?

or am I a follower?
will I fall because I let
someone drag me down?

and if I don't want
to be either of those,
then who do I want to be?
