Whats happy without sad

Need to be mad to feel glad

To wipe tears you need to cry

To find the truth you need to lie

Positive needs negative

Actions have a consequence

To die we need to live

Need madness to make sense

You need to make mistakes to learn

To get a good marshmallow you need to Let it burn

Don’t Realy know how it would turn

Need to lose it all to earn

Need a broken heart

To...

It happened so fast,

I couldn’t move an inch,

No matter how hard I tried,

I just couldn’t.

And now I don’t think I’ll ever move,

Not after what I just witnessed.

You got hit by a truck,

And went flying,

Straight into an oncoming car.

Unbeknownst to me,

My mind is engraving the sight of you,

Broken legs sticking out of a windshield,

Glass etching int...

_They all hate me._

That’s fine.

It’s okay.

I know it,

And they fake it,

But it’s fine, really.

I’ve let every single person I’ve ever loved down.

And some of them say it’s fine,

That I’ve also done a lot of good.

But I know I’ll only let them down again.

And I’ll only have so many second chances.

And I’ll only keep myself together for a while longer,

So it’s better for them to hate me now anyway...

My heart it pounds, to the sound,

Of my annihilation.

Swords will clash, my heart with gash,

Bleeding out with causation.

My king he stands, safe on our land,

And without hesitation.

I will die, I will cry,

For his safety insureation.

Yet to the land of awake, causes my heart to ache,

For he is not shielded from his expiration....

I hate that im open to you still

Waiting on you still

For moments held firmly within you

Still hoping that you feel_

like you don’t need to hide yourself

Paranoid thoughts had your back arched

Curved in a stance

Hands pressed against mine

I felt it

and yes I hate it

Express your anger

Test your limits again

Tell them I am yours

Lock your eyes to their jugular, rip out their throats

I ...

If only you could see

The girl behind

the perfectly perfect

forced smiles

the girl who cries alone

in her bedroom

longing for something

anything

to make it all better

if only you could see the girl behind

the bright eyes and peefect clothes

the girl who dosent feel loved

if only you could see the

girl behind the scenes

where she just needs a hug

and a reasurring voice

to tell her

that is is o...

Tear

Tear

Tear me to pieces

Tear

Tear me to pieces

My scars are bleeding

Screaming and pleading

Kill me if needed

Lay me to rest right next to my demons

Walking inside

Where there is no light

In the dark with no hope in sight

In the dark where no one can hear my cries

Tear me to pieces

Kill me I’m pleading

I bring no purpose to life

Just let me die

I too tired to f...

If you saw a teenage girl

Skinny lean,

Brown skin the color of melting wood

Orange eyes, dull, eyebags underneath

A turtleneck jacket, her face half hidden in the thing

Voice quiet, getting loud then ended abruptly

Eyes twitching as though she didn’t know where to look

Would you give her a dollar if she asked?

Would you trust her enough to dig into your wallet while she’s standing there, watchin...

14 years old is not very old.

14 years old is not old enough

To be shooting up a school

To be killing 4 human beings

To be in jail

14 years old is not very old.

And yet

When I see the news

There was another school shooting

And the culprit was a child.

What is this cruelty that we’ve been taught

As students in schools

And children in homes

Homes that should be teaching kindness

What does this ...

(Draft #17, thx Rose Bud for suggesting this to me.)

14 years old

Is not very old.

Most people just started high school

And some are still in eighth grade.

14 years of age

Still makes you a child.

And yet-

And yet…

Yesterday I saw a post

Online

Of a girl.

She was grinning like the happiest person on earth.

The description went something like,

‘My daughter never ceases to amaze me.’

My parent...
