A familiar time which plays on repeat in my mind
Get the opposite of high, but I don’t know why
Cutting pounds but not just my weight
I’m not trying to over-exaggerate
But I think it’s time to say goodbye.

Being alone isn’t the same as feeling it
I just wanna stop, I just wanna quit

They say all it takes is

Time Cures

Time cures most everything
And helps to heal the breaks,
But shortages of resources
Tense and test the zeal,
Creating less of what time makes
And more for it to heal.

is this even poetry anymore

i tried to end it all last night
i failed, obviously
it's so crazy to me how life goes on
when it almost didn't
i talked to my friends today
laughed with them
smiled as if everything was normal
but i doubt they could tell anything was off
i even hung out with a friend
and i love to hang out with her but
i

Kindness

Kindness-by Dominique Smith 

Kindness thats what we have until we learn to speak, Kindness isnt a plan, its something we seek. The kindness we harness can be seen as weak but if you think that the kindness you have isnt a relief, Then you dont know the kindness I the world needs. Kindness shouldnt be

No one tells you

No one tells you how to smile when your throat closes with every breath behind that smile.

No one tells you how to move forward when the chain around your neck drags you back.

No one tells you how to be positive when your own mind digs into you with horns and a tail.

No one tells you

dew of the willy wag-tail

You sure don't care,
of the willy wag's
tail flickering,
a glorious
morning,
in
opposition
to burning trees,
a desolation
held so fast,
burning embers
flickering hands
casting out
those flames...
a fire-starter,
whose time begins,
this sick-ness
is the air
we breathe
and try to forgive.....
our sins
and theirs,
and the dark is here
as the flood-lights,
illuminates new-born skies
to eliminate past cries..

Unmade, Fire and Ice lyrics, updated

The demons come out to play, may they fall,  
As they seek their next prey.  
I was trapped on a merry-go-round,  
Lost in salt-trodden earth and pain.

Forgive me
For praying to God for you,
While enemies hid within,
Claiming to be friends.

Salt falls on the stage, as demons sing,  
A Trojan horse births the

Open Letter Part 2

The Wounds We Hide
Some of us grew up being told we weren’t enough, scolded or beaten by those meant to protect us. We learned early that opening up leads to hurt. That safety is temporary. That when things are good, it’s only a matter of time before the rug gets ripped out.
So we stay guarded.

Open Letter: To Those Who Feel Invisible part 1

The Quiet Struggle
Some of us are just trying to get through the day. We don’t want to

A Bridge Has A Name

Visions of a saint near
that bridge has a name.
The suicide frontier
the method's all the same.
a jump into crashing rocks
head first into oblivion.
Leave behind shoes and socks,
and aspire to be heavenly.

Waves wash away red splashes
before the blood can stain,
a church will have its masses
while many choose the rain.

A return to first opened eyes
Purgatory denounces peace to

HOPE WITH NO FEAR

HOPE WITH NO FEAR

What do you see
When you see me
A person who hears voices
A person who hears strange voices.
Tell me what do you see
When you see me
A person who relies on medication
A person without any dedication.
I'll tell you what you see
When you see me
I'm a person with hope
A person learning 
How to cope
With life when

Grief Is a Beast With Weary Eyes

Grief is a beast with weary eyes 
Waiting on a chord unfinished—
The tinny purr—
A waving growl of tambourine,
Death’s rattle sounds the closing bars,
That dissonant finale.

Crest on crest the ocean marches,
Leave forever in their wake,
Repeating patterns, variations,
Enigmas do their shadows make.

Dawn’s dunes of drought, by dusk
Drowned out by moon’s dictates,
Rhythm of the days; advance—
Recede, advance —

Beyond the Blackbox

Attention:
This one is the problem child.

Mom and dad deny autonomy
take authority over a diary
supervised at all times; no privacy
door hinge wide open
so why are the walls closing in?

This home is an emotion free zone
Mom says save it for therapy
but stops taking me
says my borderline personality is burdening this family’s budget
believes I’ll be cured if she

MENTAL HEALTH II

Protect your mental health
Even on your job 
When your employer try
To bully and take advantage
My mistreating you and 
Invading your personal life
And space after work hours

Love and Broken Souls

Love is a complicated feeling, they say,
Understanding its depth isn't like child's play.
But isn't love as simple as breathing, I ask,
Who knew that fate was planning a cruel task.

Love is liberation, salvation, they say,
But what about the ones drowning in gray?
What about the feeling that you could taint someone pure—
Their charm, their smile, their allure.
