I Am One of Them

Life's Hard
It's filled with pain
And misery
My mind is stained
Stained with every memory

Sometimes I think today will be my last day
This place causes me so much pain
I wish I didn't have to stay

Some days are worse than others
I'm starving
Dying for food
I'd do anything

To many things go through my head
Will I be able to keep down my next meal?
Will I live for tomorrow?
Is this terrifying place even real?

I feel so alone
Yet I'm surrounded by people
But this place could not be called a home
There's no life in these places
Or in these faces

Everyone looks dead
As so do I
Most of us haven't been fed

My eyes have been marked
With these dead bodies that lay upon the ground
Without a soul I still look at them
Soon I may be found
As one of them

My Wrists

A story is told 
Just by the look of it
You see it starts to unfold 
It's hard to take in just a bit

So many memories
I take them all with me
I pull at my sleeves
So that no one see

I don't want to hurt anyone
Even when they've hurt me
I'm fragile
Yet they still break me

Suicide

I see the pain in your eyes
The fear in your voice
I know because I've been in your place
It's not your choice

I'm sorry
I would hate for anyone  to feel this way
Please don't leave this world
Just try and stay

This isn't the only way to go
At least don't leave without a fight
Just know
You were never alone

You had me right by your side
Even when you never wanted me around
I promise to you I never told a lie
I was always honest and true
Towards you

You don't have to end your life
I've tried to many times its not worth it
Please put down that knife
I mean it

Stay with me
Fight this battle with me by your side
You always had me don't you see
I was always nice to you

Even when you where terrible to me
I fought threw it and you can too
You're just a little seed
Waiting to grow into something beautiful

Reflection

I look and stare
Wondering who I am
And who still cares

How could anyone?
I don't even care for myself
All I want to do is have fun
Be my own self again

That's never good enough
I have people judging me
From hea to toe
Don't they see

That every word is a knife to the chest
Why is our society so judgmental
One more label
I swear I'll go mental

So I look and ask who am I
Who is the real me
I look at her in the mirror
And ask if this is really me

Box of Sharp Objects

All my secrets hidden
In the color of red
Filled with my sharp objects
That I keep under my bed

No one would ever know
I look happy don't I
But I'm not because I have a secret
So I look alive

Full of life they said
But I'm not
I'm dead
But I fought

Fought against myself
But how could you ever win 
That's the problem you don't
You die with every sin

No one knows why or how
And for a second they care
But they never really did
All they did was stare

So I grab my box
Soon see blood running down my skin
That's when I feel alive
But I still could never win

Win my own battle against myself
So I just listen to the rattle
Of my sharp objects

Blades

Just one more I say
No one will notice
No one will care
Then I see my life start to fade

A cut to my wrist
A cut to my thigh 
Making a fist
While I start to cry

No one cares
Nobody's here
It's just not fair
Why do I have to live in fear

All I'm asking for is a friend
Someone I can trust
Someone to send the love 
That I try to send to others

But no one will accept me
Except my blades
They're always with me
They help me forget

So I take out my blades for another time
Watch the blood run down my wrist
Just for a moment I forget
But now I have the memories on my wrist

Hell

Everyone's terrified of it
They don't know that I have to live in it everyday
But I do and it's sad to say that I'm use to it

I'm use to my burning flesh
The tears that run down my face
The pain that I feel
And the fact that I'm stuck in this place

I need happiness
But I never find it
I just want to know what it feels like
To not feel like shit

No one will give me a chance
To see who I really am
Instead of who I appear to be
They never seem to give a damn

No one cares that I'm here
I'm invisible
That is my biggest fear
To be forgotten in this hell

It Was the Cat

People look upon my skin 
And I know they saw
I look at them and say it was 
the cat
The cats claw 

It scratched me 
Let me bleed red
Their eyes cannot see
What was once there

The story that comes with it
When I tell them it was the cat
I'm not lying 
Because I am the cat

I'm a black and white cat
I'm the one who puts the cuts 
on my skin
Who feasts among the dirty 
rats

I make these marks on me
So that when I look back
I will see
That I was strong

If You Knew

If you knew
All the thoughts 
That I knew were true
How many times I fought 
To try and tell myself that
They couldn't possibly be true

I've had hold on to dear life
But why
I could have been long gone
I wouldn't have to try
and stay

Maybe I'm just hoping 
Hoping things will get better
But I know they won't
Things could never get better

Because I have to many 
worries
To many tears
So many stories
That I wish could just disappear

I just want to be happy
But I could never feel that
Because I am nothing
What am I even here for

Why am I living
Why aren't I dead
I should have been gone by 
now
That's what they have said
