    shadowgraphy

    shaking, fear, crawling in my skin
    i swore to myself i wouldn't let them in
    the edge has never been so thin
    i can't escape the grasp of the sin
    silence is a shadow, a different kind of art
    it's the inescapable misery that lives in my heart
    it's wanting to move on but not knowing where to start
    it's wanting to be loved when everything is dark
    the eyes are a shadow of all the stories untold
    it's the haunting memories caught in a chokehold
    it's the pain inside to where the soul was sold
    it's rejecting the warmth when you're used to the cold
    the shadow is the side that no one ever sees
    because if it were made known, no one would believe
    it's the tortured mind, the sadness that never leaves
    it's not wanting to be awake, but being too afraid to sleep

    enough

    enough is enough
    but still you return
    with your twisted love
    to watch me burn

    how can you heal an empty shell?
    is there any way out of this prison?
    do they see that i am unwell?
    can barely make a thought out decision

    is there something better on the otherside?
    because i am sure damn sick of life
    is there some place i don't have to hide?
    somewhere easier to survive?

    breathe in, breathe out
    repeat. repeat.
    hush, don't make a sound
    repeat repeat

    repeat. repeat
    don't sleep. don't sleep
    bleed for me
    can't you see?

    i've had enough.

    Lovely poetry @Loz
  • DistractionDistraction Posts: 493 Listening Ear
    Don’t come near me,
    Don’t dare stay,
    I’ll take your happiness,
    And throw it all away.

    Don’t think for a minute,
    That we can be friends,
    For I’m so much work,
    That it’ll just come to an end.

    Don’t wiggle your way in,
    To my life of pain,
    Because if you win,
    You might just see,
    What I’ve truly became.

    If I left a note,
    Would it be filled of past hope,
    Would it scream, of a world unseen,
    Of the demons, that kept me acting like a machine,

    Or maybe…
    It would be traced with a wish,
    Of what could have been,
    If only, I could’ve put my brain in, for a dry clean,

    So I’m torn, far and in between,
    Of what I have left within me,
    To fight this misary,

    Then again…
    Maybe this isn’t necessary,
    Maybe I’m just a drama queen,
    Behind the scenes.

    (SH Trg)


    The night I started

    When I started self harm,
    I didn’t even know it had a name.

    Or any clue on what else to do,
    When the nightmares came.

    Morning always seemed so far away,
    As it was the only thing,
    That kept the monsters at bay.

    So I tried to stay awake,
    Watching them in the shadows,
    As they would kill and slay,
    Hoping that they, would just slip away.

    But more often than not,
    Fear would make way,
    For sleep to take me astray.

    And it was in that world,
    That I was so very afraid,
    Trapped and murdered,
    Again and again,
    Feeling every ounce of the pain.
    It made me feel insane.

    For when I awoke,
    The monsters remained,
    Still Hurting me,
    In every way.

    So I learnt a trick,
    For it all to be delayed.
    As tears fell,
    I picked up a blade
    And stayed awake until day.

    A child's last hope

    You can scream,
    You can cry,
    But you might as well wave goodbye.

    For adult eyes,
    Turn to glass,
    As they walk away,
    No questions asked.
  • DistractionDistraction Posts: 493 Listening Ear
    I was an adult,
    Before I was even a teen,
    A mother,
    To the lady,
    Who gave birth to me.

    Soothing her aches,
    Understanding her needs,
    As I listened to the demons,
    That wanted to kill me.

    misery

    i don't think anybody truly understands
    what it is like to be held hostage in the dark
    to have the fate of my life in my own hands
    the only thing awake is the beating in my heart

    when will i wake up? feel like myself again?
    when will i heal? be stronger than the pain?
    when will i be able to hold an umbrella against the rain?
    will the memories ever be something i can contain?

    when will i wake up?
    when will i feel like i'm enough?
    when will i wake up?
    when will i feel worthy of love?

    what if i never wake? what if things don't change?
    what if this is the only way?
    what if i'll always be trapped in this cage?
    what if i'll never be okay?

    what if i never wake?
    what if i'll never be okay?

    what if i'll never be okay.

    baggage

    routine - maybe it's okay?
    keep busy. get on with the day.
    still got baggage to clear off my plate.
    but i've started again on a clean slate.

    a twisted celebration
    a trauma anniversary
    i wait in trepidation
    i wait here on my knees

    scream
    scream
    i can't see

    bleed
    need
    i can't leave

    i can't speak

    the agony when the bullet hits a nerve
    i know this next month is going to hurt
    a slave to the memory i have to serve
    beat me, break me, leave me in the dirt

    anxiety

    creep in through the back door
    leave me on the bathroom floor
    nauseous and broken to the core
    questioning if i can do this anymore

    whisper your truths like they're fairytales
    bring back memories that were rotten and stale
    help me build my coffin, bring another nail
    remind me what i'm working for is just going to fail

    keep me away from sleep, make sure i'm deprived
    force me into lying and to say that i'm doing fine
    tell me i can't do this even though i survived
    lie to me, lie to me, never draw the line

    you like to watch me panic, it's that off which you feed
    it's almost like you wanted this, you want to watch me bleed
    it's not good enough for you until i can't fucking breathe
    if i reach that point, you whisper that they won't hear me scream

    they won't hear me speak

    they won't even see

    Just floating away,
    Into my darkest days,
    Lost,
    Full of pain,
    Screaming,
    In silent rage.

    What are you meant to do,
    When moving on,
    Is so over due…

    When time,
    Has nothing left to teach you,

    And grief…
    Takes the place,
    Where love,
    Is meant to hold you.
  • DistractionDistraction Posts: 493 Listening Ear
    Some say,
    To soak up such rage,
    At that little age,
    Can make a child,
    Grow strong and brave

    That it’s not torture,
    When a mother,
    threatens slaughter,
    as she beats her daughter,

    They say that love,
    Comes in all different ways,

    And I know,
    It’s hard to show,
    When a disease takes ahold,

    But mum.

    I was so very afraid,
    As you drank yourself through yet another day,

    I was only young,
    About seven years old,
    And I just wanted to take your pain away.

    (She didn't beat me, she did that to my sister)

    Screaming souls

    We’ll sit here,
    And we’ll cry,
    Until the moon,
    fades from the sky,

    And then…

    The sun will rise,
    And once again,
    We’ll pretend,
    Parts of our soul,
    Didn’t just die.

    “You’ll never be nothing”

    Do you know how long I’ve waited,
    To hear those words,
    Or anything related,

    To be of some worth,
    To not scrape it from the corners of the earth,

    Do you know how much I’ve been hated,
    And cursed,

    Living in this world,
    Makes me feel like dirt,

    Hearing words,
    That only pierce and hurt,

    Do you know how much I’ve tried to hide,
    All the evil,
    I’ve gathered inside,

    To not project it,
    Into others lives

    Do you know how much I’ve cried,
    Screaming,
    To stay alive,

    Feeling like nothing,
    In everybody’s eyes,

    Do you know how it feels,
    To be tossed a side,

    As the darkness,
    Covers the skies,

    To question,
    Why you’re still alive

    So may I ask you why?
    You say such lies,
    As every ones else,
    See’s nothing,
    And expects me to die.

    (My friend sent a a text, in it she said I'd never be nothing, I didn't know how to feel about it, it was a lovely thing to say and I appreciate it but, yeah I don't know, so heres a poem)

    I’m tired of how hard I’ve had to work,
    Just to stay on this earth,

    I’m tired of how much it hurts.
    Like I could sleep for years,

    I’m tired of the pain,
    The sadness,
    That always seems to remain,

    I’m tired,
    That I have to pretend,
    Like all of this
    Is a worthwhile gain.
