She was the type
to cut her wrists,
and then swallow the
razor blade,
because looking at what
she'd done
was even harder
to digest

but I want to tell her
to let the emotions
s l
p i l
out of her mouth,
instead of her
skin,

and that I'll gladly
let the words slice me,
if it means
it'll save
her wrists.

you're never hopeless

you tell me you feel hopeless as you talk with tired eyes- the sky drips with black pen ink poured on crystal cosmic lights your eyes become black vacuums- your words turn to somber sighs, and I ask you: on the darkest of nights, have you ever seen a starless sky?

Depression...

No, depression is not just getting sad. It's a constant sadness that melts into your bones, An indescribably heavy weight upon your shoulders, Never mind your heart and soul. It's believing so many lies (maybe because you've learned to accept them) And no longer appreciating your self-worth. Wishing you no longer existed, wishing yourself gone. Depression holds you back from your dreams And pulls you into a nightmare. It takes full control of your existence. It makes you never want to get out of bed, And when you finally do, You just want to get back in it. But you know the hardest part? Ignorant people. Just. Like. You.

Cutter

“What’s on your arm? What’s on your thigh?” I scratched myself, darling—but I will be fine. “What’s on your wrist? And why do you cry?” Oh, silly—they’re signals, they’re my warning signs. “Why are there tears coming out from your eyes?” They show that I’m breaking. My laugh’s a disguise. “What’s on your forearm? What’s on your mind?” I’ll be okay, darling. I just wish to die.

What could have been

Is this good? No. I'm still trying to work through my writer's block AND artist's block. But I figured I might as well finish it. It's very cliche, at least in my opinion. Still, here it is. _________________________________________________ The day was pleasant. The heaps of snow brought by the pegasi for this year’s winter were only recently starting to melt, turning the ground into an ugly brown mess. I was starting to see the beginnings of buds growing along the branches of trees, including the one I was currently perched in. The tip of my tail flicked lazily, and my eyes were half-closed. To say I disliked the winter season would

She's Toxic

Clothed in the colors, The shades of nature. She's toxic. Defying your logic. Elements in her favor, Controlling forces of nature. Powers over botany, She is Poison Ivy.

Depression Isn't Real

Depression isn’t true, my dear Depression isn’t real. It’s just a silly tragedy You’ve forced yourself to feel. Anxiety is fake, my friend You wonder why it’s there. But others have it worse than you! Stop forming false despair. Cutting is dramatic, love, It’s ugly, and it’s dumb. Why not just get over it? Is the attention fun? Suicide is stupid, dear, And selfish, if I may. Get over yourself, darling, Can you hear these things I say? Why aren’t you replying, love? Oh, where could you have gone? I never meant to hurt you, love, Did I say something wrong? Why aren’t you replying, dear

Unrequited chapter 3

Unrequited Chapter 3 Silently he watched as the stylist assigned to District Twelve placed the small gold Mockingjay pin on the inside of her jacket. Her eyebrows creased as she registered just what the token was. It took a lot of persuasion to let her have the small pin but not much. He was the head Game Maker and had final say over the decisions regarding the games. So he let her have the small gold pin. It wouldn't make a weapon and as for the bird itself he really did not see how it would cause a problem. She would probably lose it in the arena. The stylist checked the small silver clock above the tributes head and motioned for her to s

gravedigger

dear sarah, i wonder if sometimes you can still feel the weight of your bed sheet around your neck. heaven knows there were days i could count every thread. last night i was cleaning up my desk, and i found the scissors i used to crack my skin open four years ago and when i went to throw them out, it felt like moving mountains or graves. if you don’t know yet, you’ll learn that some types of grief leave scars—some ghosts don’t know how to stay buried. you will stumble through the rest of your life wondering if you will one day forget how it feels to toe the edge of the cliff and turn the other way. the answer is no
