Do not ask me to remember.
Do not try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you're with me.
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept.
I am sad and sick and lost.
All that I know is that I need you to be with me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me.
Do not scold or curse my cry.
I cant help the way I am acting.
Cant be different though I try.
Just remember that I need you.
That the best of me is gone.
Please dont fail to stand beside me,
Love me till my life is done.
And you know we'll always be there for you and never try to change you.
Anyway, here's mine
By me
You think he’s smiling but he’s lying.
That he’s laughing: it’s not true.
But you can’t blame him for his trying,
After all that he’s been through.
You see the cuts along his skin?
They tell a story of their own.
But there’s no way to even begin
To get his concept of ‘alone’.
His heart is broken but it’s beating.
His bed’s his home all day and night.
Any hope he has is fleeting,
Of ever living in the light.
If you think that you’ve been there,
That you have seen it all.
No, I guess that life is not fair,
But you’re not alone at all.
Some people have it better,
And some others have it worse.
But if we’re there for each other,
Then each other, we can nurse.
Live life in just this moment new,
Don’t even think about the past.
The pain that you’ve always been through,
Will comfort you at last.
Its 3 AM and I’m still awake,
With thoughts in my head I just can’t shake.
There’s a girl hundreds of miles away,
But my heart really needs her to stay.
She thinks I’m funny, well she is too,
The hardest times, she’s got me through.
Of all the people I’ve ever known,
She’s the most human, she takes the throne.
The reason I love her as I do,
Is she does something I could never do.
She knows my flaws and she doesn’t care,
I think she’d love me anywhere.
I’ve lived too long inside this shell,
But it wasn’t just my personal hell.
Part of her was in here too,
Without her with me, I couldn’t do.
She loves that I’m soppy,
And loves how I’m rude,
She makes me so happy,
She lifts my whole mood.
I won’t say I love her,
It wouldn’t be fair,
To make her stay with me,
When she’s better off elsewhere.
But I can’t live without her,
I can’t say goodbye.
I don’t know how I’d live now,
Without her by my side.
a train met Lucy
The Train was juicy,
the juice was Lucy.
Tomorrow is a mystery
But today is a gift
That’s why it’s call the present
Until you've seen the marks
Etched on my skin
And the ones on the inside
On my heart
That I hide
Don't tell me that I'm strong
Until you've seen me break down
Fall apart
Time and time again
And cry until the tears no longer come
Don't tell me that I'm a wonderful person
Until I shut you out completely
And push you away
Because I promised myself
That you're just like the rest
And you'll get tired of me too
Don't tell me that I'm lovely
Until you've seen those nights that are like pure horror
And the terror that sometimes posses me
Seen me sob and tremble and question "why me?"
Until I run out of air
And collapse
Don't tell me that I'll get through this
That this is only temporary
Until you've seen the inner torment
Inside of my mind
And the demons that refuse
To be silent
But if you have seen that other part of me
The scars, pain, insecurities and bitterness
That I hide
The voices that whisper during the day
And scream during the night
The darkness lurking behind my smile
And you still stay by my side
Then maybe....just maybe.... I believe you....
Dusted living room walls and clean doors.
No dirt in the draws,
Or crumbs on the floor,
This home with no flaws.
Leaves me wondering is there any kids at all?
Not a toy on the stairs,
Or a sock in the drier,
Leaves me curious to think
...Is this house for hire?
But as the night draws in,
And the floors creek within,
My mind begins to change,
With the singing hymns of children's screams.
I dont know what it is I like about that bit, I just find it a bit haunting.
Loved this one, it speaks to me
It might be hard for you to understand,
But I miss my sister that much it makes me frown,
We use to go on bike rides and make mud pies,
Feed the ducks and look at the sky.
We use to think what it was like to fly,
And jump off benches to get that little high.
I know she had problems (but don't we all?)
Being sick when she wasn't,
But if she just had some love,
Maybe she wouldn't...
You might not understand,
But when I moved away,
I lost my best friend that day.
Lostsense - yours are so powerful it really makes me feel
ellaleftwonderland - you put it together in such a smart way, you really have a skill for writing ( also wheres you profile picture from? reminds me of an old song
Aidan - yours are so class
Skive - Funny as hell
I wrote this a while ago. Probably quite clear I dont really know much about poetry. But thought I'd share anyway.
* This is about sexual abuse. So may Trigger. **
I just froze
My body gave up
But who knows
If I stood up
I gave up trying
To tell you
I was suffering
Cause you knew
Heard me screaming
You just stared
I wasn't day-dreaming
You just never cared
I remember clearly
My breaths deeply
How heavy you was
& how weak i was
"No" wasn't the answer
When I would push you away
Cause you're abuser
Who could never obey
Your idea of humilation
Felt like suffocation
Didn't matter if i tried to vioce
I had no chioce
It's what you lived off
Loved the control
What a turn off-
You don't have a soul
I fell for your compliments
I fell when we kiss
Even our arguments
I miss
Can call me naive
But i thought you cared
So I didn't leave
Or I was just scared
My thoughts are consumed
I thought this was love
But i was being groomed
And you was just above
But I have realised
I deserve more
And I have recognised
I am stronger than before.
I use to ask myself where were you?
And how could you?
What did I do to hurt you?
I use to ask myself,
What could I do to save you?
But every action just angered you.
And I am sorry,
That I could’'t protect you,
Although I tried so very hard to.
I use to miss you,
I use to cry for you,
But mother.
I no longer love you.
And that wasn't an easy thing to do,
Just throwing you away like some stranger into the blue,
No,
It tore me apart,
Ate me from with in,
Crushed my very heart,
But I had to.
Or else I would have ended up just like you.
Am coming home mum,
I’'ll see you soon,
Just promise me,
You’'ll be there too,
I don’'t care,
If you’v'e grown old,
If you can’t get out of a chair,
Or even if you’r clamming hills,
Just be home,
Cos I'’ll be there.
I’'ll be outside that door,
No later then noon,
I know it’s a little later then expected,
Talk about a few years,
Oh how they just pass by,
But mum I’'ll be there,
So please just promise,
You will too.
Please I beg you,
I think I really need to see you,
Just one last time to say good bye.
To say I really did love you.
I tried to talk to you
When that didn’t work,
I tried to show you,
When that backfired,
I tried to see it from your view.
About a kid,
Who is not your child,
Or related in anyway…
I stepped into your shoes,
And then I realised,
That I am nothing to you.
How wounds appear,
It’s not the actions of our razors,
But our fallen tears.
Hidden
Speak from your feelings,
Feel from your soul,
and listen with your eyes
Because not every secret is told.
I remember phrases,
From when I was wee,
Of how I should be,
And what was wrong with me.
I remember being told,
I was to be seen and unheard,
For a child has no mind
Upon this adult earth.
These words didn’t bother me,
But what hurt was not mattering enough,
For someone to know that they eventually would.
As i walk this lonely road, no one seems to care,
The trees rustle in the wind as they stand there bare,
I can hear them coming closer now , but it seems to late,
I run down to the farm i see and lean on the rusty gate,
I can hear a whisper now, a whisper in my ear,
Something that i may allow to take away my tears,
But who are they i wonder as i say,
I turn around and they quickly run away.
When the sun shines,
when the wind blows,
when the sun sets,
when the air is still,
when the rain falls upon my windowsill,
when the birds call,
and the world cries,
when heaven and nature sighs,
you never fail to surprise,
because no matter how I'm feeling,
your love and kindness,
and open mindedness,
never runs out,
like a lifetime supply.

I wonder who this is about? Hehe
Their vile words like a hurricane in my mind,
who would of thought they were so strong combined,
'It's in the past, they can't hurt you anymore'
I wish it was just that easy to close the door,
They hurt me everyday,
and it's not just what they say,
their words and actions carved into my mind,
why was it so hard to just be kind?
The nightmares haunt me while i sleep,
their claws go in far too deep,
when i'm awake there is no peace,
as the flashbacks never seem to ease,
my biggest secret of that night,
i wish i grew my wings and took flight,
their voices i can still hear,
as loud as ever, ringing in my ear,
'They can't hurt you anymore' i keep being told,
but their actions took a far bigger hold,
they hurt me everyday,
and it's not just what they say.
After last night I realized I need to stop self harming, it's gotton so out of control so wrote this to help motivate me.
self-harm
You tear me down, give me nowhere to run,
You tell me this torture has only just begun,
But when I've cut you tell me I've done good,
Torturing myself just to keep you at bay,
I need to fight and fight for my life,
But now it's time to face my fears,
To not give you power, to not let you win,
It's time to be happy in my own skin,
Self harm you are not welcome anymore,
So it's time I show you the door,
And get my life back to where it should be,
Innocent,carefree, happy and free,
The scars will remind me of what once was,
And you are not my ruler,
Goodbye self harm,
To those stories on the shelf.
Each one stagnate until I return,
to the worlds that I have learned.
Paused when closed, they cause no mischief.
For nothing changes inside that bound leaf.
Higher than the birds
Stronger than a beam.
Her love blossomed
More vibrant than a flower
Growing stronger with its power.
Her hope was low,
Lower than the ocean deep
At the bottom of a mountain gone too steep.
She holds on to that dream
For it's the only thing that makes this all seem.
Worth her time and hard work
For the love she's found is as loud as a firework
And runs consistently like clockwork.
When all is down and low,
She need only think if him and glow.
When things get rough and she falls on the floor
She need only remember what she is doing this for.
True happiness and a lifetime of love to go with it
She need only hold on, just for a little bit.
And when things get particularly rough
And she feels all swallowed up in it,
She can spend some time away even just for a minute.
For this girl has a reason to keep on fighting,
And I'd you think she's giving up you may find this next part frighting.
For she finally has something to work for,
Her future, her happiness, her love and to be able to walk out that front door.
(I'm a loser this was probably rubbish oops it's been months 😂😂)

I'm trying to get up, they're knocking me down.
Chewing me up, spitting me out.
Hey, hey, hey when I need to be saved,
You're making me strong, you're making me stand.
-Skillet, feel invincible.
The days are long, but the nights are longer,
I cant wait for the day when I feel stronger,
You've taken too much of my life already,
Well this time, I know i'm ready,
Relapse after relapse, you always win,
But eating shouldn't be a sin,
Scars line my body forever more,
But self harm isn't a chore,
I shouldn't have to punish myself,
Just for taking some breaths,
But you punish me,
Why can't you just let me be,
I will fight you, and you will not win,
See, i'm not the person I was when you crept in,
I'm brave, resilient and not a quitter,
You are a coward, so low and bitter,
Only I can choose to recover,
and not be scared of fucking butter,
And recover I will,
And you I will kill,
You cannot have me,
Cause I will be free,
The days are long, and the nights may be longer,
But this is the day when I feel stronger.
Thank-you to the nurses who have picked me up off the floor, when the world seemed so scary and I just wanted to close the door.
Thank-you to the nurses who held me as I cried, when all that I could wish for, I wish that i'd have died.
Thank-you to the nurses who when I couldn't get out of bed, done my hair and make-up instead of lying there with dread.
Thank-you to the nurses who sat with me through the night, so that I wasn't alone when the voices put up a fight.
Thank-you to the nurses for convincing me to eat, when the voices wouldn't let me but this illness I can beat.
