Why do I feel so alone with so many people around, Everyday a smile on my face inside it's upside down, I cry inside everyday but haven't shed a tear in years, People say I always look happy my life's not what it appears Everyone lives two different lives,ones public the others at home Cuz after their day and...

The tingling sweet sensation As he grabbed my hand I dared betray my emotion This path I chose to stand Side by side in lovers strand Woven tight by fate’s hand His stare of phony devotion How can I question? The beautiful morning ray, I hoped he not stray An empty echo as I turned, dared not say Our journey, the dark lair still lay Maidan...

I looked at the Spring garden, I was about to paint, knowing the new tubes of paint I ordered, were due, any time soon. I saw that many of the rose petals had faded, from red to mauve, some that had dropped were brown. So without red, I could mix blue with magenta, and yellow to paint those drab...

He doesn't cry in public- he's learned to bleed where no one looks. Where bathroom tiles keep secrets and mirrors lie just enough to keep him standing. he skips lunch again. just not hungry, he says but the hunger is real- not for food for someone to notice. for silence. his sleeves stay long, even in summer. skin whispering stories that no one ever asks to hear. because boys? boys don't break boys don't...

they say boys don't cry, so he bleeds instead. silent screams hidden under hoodie threads. he skips meals like skipping pages in a book that no one wants to read- his ribs start spelling out "notice me" but no one speaks that language. "you're a boy, tough it out," they said when his voice shook like glass$and his hands begged for anything but silence. so he carved the words he couldn't...

It's always a battle, Everyday is, Always a battle, Between life and death, I forgot something, I didn't check before leaving, I didn't look before going, Everyday's like this, I didn't eat,I overeat, I overslept, I under slept, I haven't moved, yet I'm so tired, Always like this, everyday is, Incase you're asking, What depression looks like, It is like this, Everyday is,...

The path I chose wasn't easy, Choosing my self, My kid, It was never easy, There are days I cry to sleep, Stay awake and blame myself, There are mornings I wished I have someone, Cause I didn't thought it was this hard, Thinking what if I stayed, What if I didn't make a way to get out, Or what if I waited, Could things be...

I drove because I hated me. I drove because I didn’t understand. I drove because I am a loser. I lost. What did I lose? The best timeline I could ever have. Happiness, Purpose, A reason. What did I gain? Loneliness, Sadness, Grief, Pain. White for the innocence I left behind, Pink for admiration, for gratitude in kind. Red for the passion I buried alive, Purple, the sun’s crown, her colors survive. Dianthus...

I met a girl, She's a beauty, Looking expensive in looks, Bet she's incredibly rich, Then she dances through the crowd, Swaying slowly, Stripping off, showing off, Leaving on a pair of heels, I see where it started, with the abuse and torment, the trauma and her pain, It all started there, Now see how she sways, How she give herself away, To break even to pieces, Oh how worthless!, She's...

I don't take one side or two In disputes about who’s right And who’s wrong – it could be you Or it could be me tonight But the next day it may turn The other way round, the pendulum Swings and all I had to learn Will be lost in setting sun Now the nightmares get too real Heroes drop their marble masks...

Insomnia By Evelyn Aimarie Sleep eludes me A winding serpent Iridescent and alluring In murky water. I grasp for her but her crow feather sheen black Scales glide through my fingers Like rough, cold, beautiful ink. Greased in memory- she slips. My mind is constructed, Carved by her teeth To mimic. Repeat Repeat Repeat. My mind is now of the same cloudy material, Broken pen...

Snapshots of teenage melodrama: not having the sense to stay out of the rain, the latest hits broadcast over the cafeteria speakers, a night out, with boisterous boys and giggling girls in cars, first heartbreak. It seems like the end of the world - silly, isn't it? Visions of Hell: standing alone, under the driving rain, unable...

A pill to take away the constant dark clouds of despair. A pill to take away the thoughts on endless replay. A pill to take away the crippling fear. Now I pay the price. Will my body ever be the same? That pill took my waist. That pill took my desire. That pill took my...
