Cuts leave scars
Cuts bleed
Cuts hurt
Cuts heal
Cuts don't ever go away
Cuts will be there forever
Cuts will be there when you have kids
Cuts will be there when you die
Cut might be the reason your dead
Cuts will **** you
Cuts are not worth it
Cuts ruin your body
Cuts ruin your skin
Cuts ruin you

you deserve the whole universe
and I’m just one star
the dullest star
the coldest
the one that’s about to die
because stars shine brightest before they burst
I guess I am a starburst
because with these thoughts,
I just might explode soon
you are a galaxy **

Keep on saying
that you've burned all the bridges

you jumped down
hit your head

Please help me
like I did

You've left me alone again
Drive into the city

Please don't forget about my heart
My head doesn't sleep
I dream about you some days

You're breaking down
I'm always there when you're at your lowest

So please understand
that I'll need you
when I'm drowning
This thunder
reminds me of the old times
when I would climb into your bed in fear.

I sleep alone now,
for the same thunder  
is now the lullaby
you sing for me
from heaven.
In memory of my late father

Tell me your late night plans
Because regardless of what you think
You’ve never been alone
There is still light inside of you
You should not be ashamed of who you are
Please
Don’t hide from me
You don’t deserve to die
You don’t need to die
Look at me
And tell me
Why
Why is it you feel this is your only option
I know you don’t want to be alive
But please,
Live for me
I love you too much to let you go quietly
You are not a ghost
Look at us
Because you are still glowing
Friend, please
You deserve better than this
Even if you don’t feel like it
You do
You mean so much more than you think
You are worth more than you think
Please,
Tell me your plans for tonight
I want to show you the light
And I won’t let you go until we both do
I know my words might not help,
But I will listen to every last thing you have to say
Scream, yell, cry
Get it all out
Because I don’t want you to be the next obituary
The next vigil
The next news story
Please,
Don’t take your life away from me…

Yeah,
I’m a little ******* up
But I’m not sure you’ll ever understand
Just how much
I’m dealing with my own demons—
They’re mine, not yours—
And you should just leave me alone
Leave me be
Go away
I want to be alone right now
I hide behind my poetry, divided
I hide behind my music, my raps
Empathy is just a joke these days
You don’t really know what I’m going through
So please,
GO AWAY
LEAVE ME ALONE…

I’m addicted to the way poetry feels
The way it writes
I’m addicted to the way music feels
The way it flows
I’m addicted to the blade
The way it cuts
I’m addicted to the thought of you
The way it hurts
I’m an addict with all the weapons of need:
A pen, a song, a blade, and you.
And I don’t want to stop.
i need you
i feel like i cant breathe
most of the time

maybe its the tight binder
on my ribs
maybe its the suffocating thoughts
that tell me im not good enough
maybe its all the stares
that i know are questioning my gender

i wish i could tell you it gets easier
every time someone calls me a girl
when im wearing all mens clothes, a binder, and short hair
but it doesnt
it gets worse

so much worse

no matter the effort i put in
how hard i try
to present as masculine as possible
at the point where i cant even
see anything feminine about myself anymore

im always seen as the thing
that will always break me down

sometimes i think
it would be easier to take it all back
say im a girl and dress like one
at least then
ill be seen as how im trying to

ill hide behind a mask
say im something that im not

because arent i doing that already?
saying im okay and that it doesnt matter
when someone calls me a girl?
putting on  fake smile
and act like it doesnt feel
like someone took my spirit
and covered it
with the wrong color paint

i feel like i shouldnt be myself
most of the time

The clock reads 11:11
And I am wishing for you
The clock reads 11:15
I’m still wishing for you
It’s 3 am
And I still wish for you.
I wish for your touch
Your arms
Wrapped around me
Your hand, folded into mine
Your lips, gently brushing my skin
I wish for you
And all that you are
And all that you bring.
