..:.You Don't Understand.:..

You tell me to stop harming my body and that I will get over it someday. How can you even say those things, you have no idea what goes on inside me? You don't know the troubles I go through each and everyday! Telling me that everything gets better after graduating high school. How can anything ever get better when the problem is me?! Don't tell me these lies to comfort me through one battle in an entire war! You tell me to go home and get away from the people that hurt me at school. You don't understand that I have NO escape from this nightmare! I'm laughed at and never good enough even in the safety of my own home. I'm a disgrace and burd

Bleeding Feelings

I can see it in your eyes, all the pain from throughout the years. You learn that you cant run from it. The sorrows surround you smothering you so you cant escape its raft, it wants you to put your trust in it To not depend on anything but it. The demons inside of you, trying to drag you down, I want to take you back to a time where you were happy. Throughout the times that we shared we learned to fear the shadows tried to break us apart, I want you to be happy, i want to be happy. But life's not what it seems. All we can do is drown in the pain, in all of these bleeding feelings...

the heroin heroine

how can you save someone with tattoos and track marks? they called him Jesse and I loved him, I loved him too much for my own good. he was a burnt-out angel with weathered grandfather wings and an aluminum halo. "please," I begged, incessant, "please, stop. you're better than this." I wrestled with his addiction as though it was my own, destroyed syringes straight from the crook of his elbows. I always knew he had one true love, and it sure wasn't me. his arm was pale and thin around my shoulders, pale and thin in the masquerade lamplight, where he pierced his veins in belt-constricted solitude. one night, as I paced with his bent silve

Colin Through Battles ~ Powerless by Linkin Park

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all. but you were careless to let it fall You held it all, and I was by your side Powerless I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend You'll never know what I became because of you Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all, but you were careless to let it fall You held it all, and I was by your side, powerless And you held it all, but

I am alone

My feelings I threw into a box, too big for me. So I created a mask, made of all the tears I've shed. I know I know how cliche that sounds. You asked, you asked “Are you ok?” But you didn't want an answer. Instead you wanted to be smiled at, and say in a plastic voice “I’m fine, you?” Because you wanted to talk about yourself. The feelings you had were apparently superior to mine. Apparently I am just here as a blank slot. To be played and then left because I ‘gave nothing’. The time limit for you to care lasts a minute, and then you’re off. “This ‘you’ isn't the person t

The Window

they are looking through the window as you fall to your knees and thrash in the water as you cry. you look up, and they're smiling, asking "how are you?" and waving just to make sure you can't pretend not to hear. so what can you do but call out "hello. yes, i'm just fine, just sitting here." they nod, turn away, just in time to miss you choking on your own bile and cry. ... they are looking through the window telling you to get a new cat because the old one's scratched up your arms, from your shoulder down to your pale wrist. so you nod, and say "i know, he's vicious, but we just can't let him go," even though you've never had a cat or

Puberty.

Puberty. I just see it as you trying to control me, Trying to turn me into something I’m not. It’s like you want me to be sad, depressed and lonely And that is why you break and regulate everything I've got. Can’t you see I am doing this for your own good? That I am trying to protect from all what is bad out there. If I didn't do it, I can guarantee you that nobody else would. It was never my intention to turn your life into a living nightmare. You’re not protecting me, you’re preventing me, Stopping me from taking and making my own decisions. Even before I say or do anything wrong, you&
