Literature Text
You draw
railroad tracks
on your wrist
hoping the
metal-made grooves
will take
you somewhere
better
But these tracks
you're chugging along on
only put you
on a train
that is zooming
toward a deep,
dark tunnel
And at the end of this tunnel,
there is no light.

How to be Popular
don’t talk
just breathe
stand straight
smile brightly
don’t argue
don’t fight
don’t cry
don’t frown
do homework
go to parties
sneak out
get drunk
listen to friends
go with the flow
be silent
drink some more
don’t let them see the tears
as you cry yourself to sleep
for the most important thing
is to be popular
Literature
she's gone, she's gone.
don't tell a broken girl with
grief pouring into the juts of her cheekbones,
hunger suffocating into the curves of her ribs,
that her eyes are made
of moonlight
and her hair was weaved from
sunshine when you are
light years away and millennia too late
Literature
Unpainted Reality
My brain is sick.
It only thinks of twisted things.
Like how we burn our eyes out,
And we rip our wings.
And then we sit in the dark,
Staring blankly at each other.
Our eye-sockets bleeding,
On a wounded brother.
Then we kneel down,
Praying to the sun.
Hoping things get brighter;
But we don't know what we've done!
We take our tongues out,
We scar them with razors.
Spitting every blade
Across other people's faces.
And if you start feeling,
My words are getting dark;
I'm just painting pictures
But you are making them stark!
And now you feel dead;
Surreal in your mind.
So listen to this preacher,
From the land of the blind.

A poem reflecting on self-harm, I suppose. I used a weird metaphor, but I hope you enjoy, nonetheless.
