Reflection(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

1 min read

…

…

…

…

Sitting in the silence

Darkness all around

Thoughts racing fast

Thinking of the day

Every little detail

What did I do wrong

Way to many things

The list keeps going on

Faster and faster

Each one is a cut

Both with the blade

And in my mind

Mark after mark

The blood begins to pour

Useless, I’m useless

A waste of space

When the reflection’s done

My arm is red

I bandage it quickly

Till tomo...

As A Kid(Tw)

When things go wrong

Especially as a child

The effects last awhile

I still remember that day

It’s not as clear now

But it will never go away

Dad was upset about somthing

Mom was taking to him

Eventually a police officer arrived

Just one to talk

Dad went away for a little

Mom made us kids talk to people

Therapists or somthing

They came to school

Pulled us out of class individually

Only ...

Forgetting Myself(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

…

I forget so many things

What my favorites are

How to do things for me

What being seen feels like

How to brake and cry

What it’s like to be heard

How to ask for help

So I cut myself sometimes

Snap at people for small things

Stay by myself all the time

Feel like I’m not even there

Escape to my daydreams

Hope it will get better

That I can find all I’ve lost...

Thorns(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

…

…

The most beautiful things have thorns

A sweet rose can couse deep pain

Families can wear and fray with age

Friends can be toxic and harmful to you

Even in hope there’s despair somewhere

Life can be hard and you can be hurt

Your own mind can trap and lie

Your hands can find a blade to cope

A bottle or two of pills or booze

But thorns can be removed with work

Even if they come back some ...

The Favorite Child(Tw)

I’ll the favorite child

Always staying in line

The only one home

My brother left

Mother isn’t satisfied

She curses me more

Her anger growing

She hurts and hurts

Controls my choices

My brother hates me

I’m to much like her

He doesn’t listen or care

I told him I was going

He didn’t hear

I know I’ll die

But I have to try

Try to be more than Mother

More than the perfect child

I have to take t...

Calm Woods (Tw)

…

Adventuring in the forest

My only true escape left

Walking trails at night

Listening to insects

I settle by a tree

A nearby stream

Babbling slow

A perfect place

For a final rest

I lay by the tree

Remembering

The life I’ve lived

I unsheath my dagger

Position it by my heart

Then plunged it deep

Goodbye cruel world

I’ll lie here forever

Where I’m meant to be...

A Candles Flame(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

Lighting a candle

Lavender and calm

Watching it dance

With rhythmic song

Empty on the inside

The sent so enticing

I reach out to touch it

The warmth in me growing

Pulling back slowly

My hand now red

My other hand grabs

The candle instead

The hot wax is pooling

All it takes is a tip

Little beads now

Dotting my wrist

I move up my forearm

Careful and slow

Then settle back down

The wax gr...

Fading Away(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

…

The days come and go

I put on a smile for show

Slipping by unnoticed

My insides growing cold

Numbing and alone

Unable to shed a tear

Pills by my bedside

Helping me with my days

Til a bad day wins

Shaking and afraid

I take one after another

Ten in quick succession

To insure my sleep is forever

As my body gives in

Breath slowing to a still

A question lingers

Would anyone notice a chan...

How To Cry(Tw)

Regulus Arcturus Black

…

Sitting in my room

So unhappy

Unable to cry

I’ve forgotten how

I remember it

Crying over little things

When I was a kid

Now it’s a tear at best

And never for myself

Even why I cut

Or can eat a thing

I’m just empty

It’s easier for now

But I want to brake down

To get help

If only I knew how


(Someone once told me that crying was a sign of healing. It’s ok to cry and let out your emotions...

The Forgotten One(Tw)

…

Sitting alone in my room

The good child to them

The one not to worry about

Forgotten by them all

What they don’t know

Is that I hate being alone

I hate being forgotten

I’m in really deep rouble

I cry and I cut and I bleed

But they wouldn’t care

They hurt me more

Now my brother is gone

All the anger is on me

All the pain is mine to hold

No one sees it but it’s true

And I don’t know how ...
