Tell me everything

Give me the dirt in your soul I don't want pretty and clean I want the ugly and messy the real nitty gritty the raw feelings. Please overshare that story with me, people like you don't scare me, I don't feel uncomfortable when you scream and cry, I feel at home.

A secret

It's been a year since I felt a thing 

the fucking wind doesn't even hit my face the same

the smell of fire isn't as strong

I turned down my own brightness

This year I crave to be noticed

Getting close

Table cloth around my neck I can share the smoke from my breath 
Bracelets that clatter when I feel depressed
I want my pain to tickle your chest

how can I love you when I don't love myself

You carry dust in your socks and rearrange the color of your thoughts 
the cherry candle I bought melts out months of your rot
I can buy a brand new lighter to burn every piece of me you shot now I'm left with a memory I'm sure you forgot

Destructive me

Why did I love you so my old friend
The taste of you now is not light at time of bed
I want to erase every memory from my head but who would be my friend till the end 
a face I won't believe till I see them drop dead

A made up reality

I have a friendship with fairy tales and bright white china dolls who collect sparkles in their eyes 
I can show you my safe place where we share all the love our mothers gave us and wonder why our fathers never loved us enough 
This is a memoir to the child with a sour heart

smoking cigarettes at gas stations

You blow up your pain and burst into vapor
Loving the smell of dangerous nature 

Drink to all things you'll get to later
didn't know you'd grow into a tree with flames in your craters

Thoughts scare us

I feel as if I am mad like the curtain wrapped around my brain is being ripped off and suddenly changed vibrant and loud like all the reactions i let out 

im not surprised at the fire that's resistant to the water it won't go out like all the misery you try to wash out of your hair when you cry over that boy who was never yours 

I'm accepting to your currant it leaves me cursing on the floor...

When you get upset it overflows

It's easy to say "don't take your anger out on someone. They don't deserve it. Take it out in a healthy way."
But we all get upset, we all lash out, we all get sensitive, and sometimes all we know is how to react viciously towards someone else.
Sometimes you get so upset at everyone around you when the problem lies within yourself. 
Sometimes you can lack control and it's not necessarily your f...

new jeans

I got new jeans last year because when I graduated high school my body began to change. Hips and all. I was surprised and a bit self conscious with the growth of my body. I felt like I wasn't as thin. I remember wearing really tight sports bras to cover up my boobs. I didn't want to seem curvy. I wanted to seem skinny. I'm currently learning to accept my body for it is growing everyday. not being ...

I'd like to thank god for being the only constant friend in my life. You have never left me, you never will leave me and that's comforting beyond belief. How can I thank you. breathe through me. I'm sorry for the evil I do.

We exchange stories that change us forever

We all met different people who give us a reason to keep fighting.
It's exciting to know I haven't met all the souls I was meant to and I can't wait to see where these people take me how they'll help me heal. It can be scary when you feel alone in a mind crushing with madness, but you will meet someone who will show you why we become darkness. They will give you a hand like you never knew unlike ...

Alone

When you weren't looking I knocked on the door of your soul 
I noticed glass was the product you chose 
Maybe I can help myself first before you see me marveling the build up of dark you hold  
You had rose petal eyes with words powerful enough to make old bruises swell 
you opened your mouth when the lights were out and the flowers flowed with a color I've never seen before 
It was beautiful...

Diary

I've realized I continuously put myself down there's this side to me that's almost evil. 
I don't know why it brings itself to my mind embedded in my cells.
It talks in tones that echo into my speech.
I want to take this part of me and shed it off to throw it over a cliff. 
It's the doubt that's infectious.
As I have always seen shutting down as the only choice.
When that is such a awful way...

I am more

I would kill to dance with you underneath the moon. only nature surrounding us as we captivate earth with the way we speak of magic and change. for no one believes I can pick myself back up to be noticed by the sun.

why would you mark dance routines around the one you love.

Know you deserve the best

How could she believe anything you'd say.

I wonder what lie your selling for your lost hope in being vain.

take back the brag that's written for personal gain.

The pride you hold in your teeth portraying it's not a game.

Took away her trust in place of holding a temporary face.

Still you claim she's your love.

Look at the damage you've done.

the lies you tell than second guess...

The lies we accept

I Stomped on your glass when you claimed to carry my feet
Does dishonestly make you complete
A sick way you got to me
One thing I'll never believe
All the beautiful words not meant for you to speak
Every goodbye you give is fallen on hurt you can't see 
I handed you a piece freely when I was drawn in with false feelings

Cheater

 

some people won't see your worth and all that you are

you let these people go for you can never force one to love you

Even if they do, it won't be with honesty 

For the love they give is built on lies

Repeat love cycle

Lock me in a coffin filled with red roses this pain is one that reoccurs with a strong notice 
You ran the water dry lead me up real high 
To inject me with a thread

to leave me out on a knife flooded bed 
I shouldn't have expected Flowers to shed when I pick the bad ones who rattle my head

You left me with rotting skin

when I get this upset all I want is to cut myself open and take out all the pieces that are dying, If I could I’d rub away the residue of what you left in me

Don't leave for money

Don't drown, don't drown honey you promised you'd never change for the money

Now I miss the sweet step in your walk ever since you left there's a new way you talk

I can't explain how we all fall victim to violent rain now you leave because with me your ashamed

Give me a second to remember how it was it can be hard when you lost the one you love

He's given up on having power realized it...

Believe

I will be your light I know how the demons hide 

Have faith in me from all the wickedness you keep inside

for I see all under the sun what's done in secrecy has not won

When you feel dead like nothing's worth the fight in your head

Bring me the pain ill grant you the courage to change

anxious introvert

getting out of your comfort zone seems impossibe. 

inside youd like to stay.

what waits for you outside of these walls may amaze you.

how scary it is to step out of the routine.

judgement awaits in faces you thought youd forgotten.

dont let it scare you we all have something to give.

take time to heal to grow and fully accept who you are.

have faith. 

climb up the ladder.

Not for you

Try me on we can taste the cake

tell me how different your mind can shape 

Of course you experienced my pain too late 

In a circle around you didn't break 

Lie for the art that's not yours to take

My lonely

Goodbye love of cigarettes 

captivated by that night it replays again and again 

now the taste of alcohol whispers truth in my head

dropping me off at a dead end

calling out for a name I want to forget

Uncontrollable

Why so dramatic she says with red eyes her reflection weeping back at her
Maybe you were made this way to create something greater than yourself 
To shake everything up a bit
Don't be afraid beautiful girl

Solitude

Even if you shine the light my way I won't flinch
I mistake each sparkle for a glimpse 
lead me on to take one last kiss
We can admit it's wrong as I cross you off my list

Supportive loyal fake friends

People come and go, sometimes you think it will last forever. 
Don't we wish friendships had stronger ties. 
But friendships can be exhausting.
They can be toxic.
They can be over in a text paragraph. 
You can get your heart broken by friends.
Some people aren't willing to love you like you love them. So you let them go.

Said you bring the rain in with the sun

my own relationship with god

What a twisted way we portray God in the media. Our society has us fooled.

Along the stream we all go. Unpopular opinions unwanted. Banished. Shamed.

We are a foolish society with open minds but not open hearts.

Offended by anything we take this too seriously.

so why should I care what any of them think. Let me love God.

let me do me. Flourish within my soul.

feminism

He praises empty bottles of liquor
Dressing up pretty to get to her quicker 
She paints her skin like rose water and dances to pictures
Everyday he brings her news letters covered with stickers 
She throws them away to grow flowers quicker

midnight show

There's something that burns in me, it gets hot when I want to sleep.

Shakes me out of who i am, it wants me to begin again.

But im so weak. I'm so tired. I can't even move. I feel like this a lot of the time.

its my chest deepening getting ready for something greater.

I feel all this, so Im prepared for what's to come next. I know it.

empowered

What a drag it is to be an individual. Brave hearts are only capable to go against the grain.

For it is exhausting. Not to be myself but to accept myself. knowing the inner fire that builds

it snaps at whoever gets in my way. It can break me I must say it has broken me many times.

It has also evolved me from the ash. A strong girl I've become.

individuality is something you're born with

my sister has always been out of the box. She's one of the coolest people I know. She is herself.

100% authentic and you can't say that about everyone. And now it seemed more and more people

wanted to be different/weird even the ones who made fun of others for being so in the past,

because these people were apart of the system the trends they want to be cool they want to be accepted

tragedy set the alarm

I swore some people got off on tragedy. In a twisted way it gave them something outrageous to feel.

It set a fire to run through with abusive feelings. Kind of an excuse to act out. I'm not sure if these people

even realize they're doing it. Waiting for their next emotional explosion.
