Have you seen it yet?
What you’ve done to me?
All of my scars and tears?
Were there too many?
Too many to count?
Did you feel anything?
Guilt or regret?
No?
Figures as much.
You leave in a flash.
You won’t look back.
Not after what you’ve done.
Not again.
Never Again
Will she smile as bright
Or laugh as loud
Maybe even leave her room
She won’t be good enough
she’ll never be good enough
Not enough for you that is,
Your standards are impossible
Change her skin color, eye color, hair color, age, body size maybe?
Or will that still not be enough for you?

To all the thoughts
I’ll never speak,
To the lies written
on my cheeks,
To all my friends
who came to an end,
To all the relationships
that were wrecked,
To every last person
I wish I’d never met,
We walk our separate paths
leading us to our lonely roads.
Until we meet again,
next time in the end,
We relive our greatest memories
We will finally rest in peace.
trapped
in my mind
voice
is lost in my throat
mind
excited and loud
eyes
shining in my silence
heart
passion and life pumping in my veins
My voice is quiet my brain is loud
my escaping breaths exhale my soul
Odd one out
I’m all alone
My family is 5
My siblings
are favorites
My parents
are against me
My friends
leave there’s

of my never ending pain
forevermore depression
plagues my every day
breathing in the happiness
Exhaling sadness and sorrow
the dreary grey scale
called my life finally spirals
through the rainbow
as I remember
after the clouds clear
the light shines through
sorry I’m not perfect
sorry I'm not true
sorry I’m not happy
sorry I'm not you
sorry I'm not there
sorry I'm not that extraordinary
sorry I'm not thin
sorry I’m just ordinary
sorry I'm outspoken
sorry I don’t share
sorry I don’t need you
sorry you were never there
sorry I’m not comfortable
sorry you're the same
sorry that I don’t change
sorry I’m not a game
sorry I’m here
sorry I won’t be gone
sorry you don’t care for me
sorry if I'm wrong
sorry for what I'm about to do
sorry but I can’t stay
sorry but I've gotta leave
sorry I'm just running away
You look through
And see yourself
All of yourself
The good, The bad
The evil, The pure
Only,
your eyes
Hide everything but
The imperfections of who
You are
But now
You're not who you used to be
You highlight
Everything you hate
And you're left with nothing
To love
The mirror is your worst enemy
The mirror dehumanized you
What you see is no longer
the beautiful person you were
It's only the remnants of
what the mirror left behind
After tearing you apart
Slowly from head to toe
It’s never been easy
to talk about this
you’ll always be fine
happy with the life you’re in
you’ll never be in pain
hiding your bruises
out of sight across your skin
sweatshirts are your best friend
never admitting he’s doing it
Always hiding never leaving home
he won’t let you
leave his sight
keeping your pain hidden
you manage to get up in the morning
go to school
smiling and laughing
no one knows

One Last Breath
My breathing
turns to gasping
my lungs
fill for the last time
nevermore to inhale
the icy winter air
or exhale
the stress-ridden poison
My heart
stops never to beat,
a little faster when I get anxious
beating steadies with the shock
of the defibrillator
panic washes over me as I jump up
from my almost permanent sleep
My stomach
clenches
I heave the pills
of my previous attempt
My mind
will never be the same
it will remain broken
with a fake smile painted
across my permanent frown
How do you justify Hurting another
There is no right
When you talk someone
onto the ledge
There is no right
When you go too far
There are consequences
Guilt and sadness
Wishing
You could just take it all back
Make it better
Bring them back
But you can never forget
Never slip your mind
Your fault
Your fault
Your fault
