slip away

The hours slip away

changing into day

Trying to forget

every little bit

I think i want to die

or maybe i want to fly

either way

i just don't want to stay

i tell you that i'm good

but I would tell you the truth if i could

i feel a pain

that leaves my skin stained

the crimson red

makes me feel more than just dead

I am addicted to the sensation

but i know it's hurting his creation

but no one really cares

because no one dares

to reach out to say are you ok

bc they would rather go on with their day

Alone.

No one cares.

It's ok though.

I'm never enough anyway.

Nightmare

I'm awake

Though I wish I was asleep

These nightmares used to only be at night

Now...

They haunt me in broad daylight

One of these days I hope when I go to sleep I never wake up

Then it will just be cold darkness that surrounds me

Not the hot embers of pain and suffering

I just want this nightmare to end

The pills are waiting

Ready to help me stay asleep

I've counted them countless times

Every single one screaming for me to swallow it

Promising me everything will be ok when I do

I can't tell if these nightmares want me to kill my self

Or stay alive to struggle through this life

As of right now...

I just want to sleep

At least I wish I could but the nightmares

These nightmares that are supposed to happen while you're sleeping

Are always there

When I wake up

As I go to bed

Even while I'm sleeping

I can never escape

I can't wait until all of this is over

One way or another

Broken

The scars on my arms

are just a reflection of the ones on my heart

More and more created almost every day

Every single one telling a story

But not like fairytales

More like nightmares

The lack of sleep

Is just a reflection of my struggle to get through the day

The thoughts I have as I lay in my bed

Every one marking my heart

Slowly killing me

The tears in my eyes

Are just a reflection of the pain in my soul

Every one that falls creates a deeper scar

My heart is broken

My thoughts are broken

My soul is broken

I'm broken

Twenty-For Seven

"You're ugly!"

"You're so fat!"

Maybe it'll stop

I'll just put away my phone for a while

"You should loose some weight."

"You're so stupid!"

Maybe tomorrow will be better

I'll just go to bed

*somebody commented*

"You're beautiful!"

They don't really think that

Nobody else does

They're lying

How can anyone think I'm beautiful

"You should kill yourself!"

"You're worthless!"

It's getting harder to fall asleep

But yet I don't feel like getting out of bed

"You should stop eating"

"OMG! How do you live with yourself?!?!"

I don't really know anymore

I don't think I can

"You can't do anything right!"

"I hate you!"

That's ok...

I hate me too

"Hey!"

"Listen, I'll love you no matter what(:"

How could anyone love me?

I don't matter

"I hope you rot in hell"

"You're such a piece of shit"

I'm sorry

Maybe I should just kill myself

"You're such a fucking idiot"

"I wish you were never born!"

Yeah...

Me too

"How are you?"

"I hope you're ok❤️"

They don't really care

How could they

"You should just go kill yourself already!!"

Ok...

I will

Forgotten

I am worthless

I don't matter

I will never be anybody's number one priority

Because I am nothing

I will never be good enough

Everybody will just walk right past me

I try to be seen

But I am invisible

I am replaceable

If I left

No one would care

Because I Am

Forgotten

Bottle

You have no idea how hard it is

to stay away from that bottle

Just sitting there

Waiting for me to give in

The bottle sitting in the bathroom

The bottle filled with all my worries

That could disappear in seconds

That bottle could be my escape

The one to end all my pain

But that would be selfish

If I think about my pain

What could it possibly be like

to lose a daughter

A sister

A friend

Whatever pain I would be taking away

Would just fall onto all of the people around me

That bottle

That one bottle

Could be the one to break me

That bottle

On the counter

In the bathroom

Waiting
