Fear Is Draining

Swallowed fear down my throat 
In the whirlpool of my stomach 
Striking lighting in my chest 
Sending earthquakes along my skin 
Hair stands on end. Alert.
Fear. 
Draining.
Fears a draining thing. 
A fight for my sanity against evil that doesnt exist.
Labored breath fills the room 
That slams into darkness 
I.cant.breathe. 
A stale room filled with the scent of my own tears and sweat. 
Is this what dying is? 
Am i dying? 
Living?
Im living each day with another panic attack 
in my mind,
 im breaking.
I cant stop shaking 
I just wanna go home 
To simpler times 
Wanna rewind 
A place where everyday isnt dark 
But instead light is shining 
Where i wake up in the morning without 
Fear.
Fear.
Fear is draining

A Plead To the Sea

And how i always said id Let the water take me, 
Im begging now. 

Drown me beautiful ocean.

Let your waves tie around my ankles and tug me under.

let me watch the bubbles rise up as i sink ever so gracefully.

Seaweed tying knots around my lungs,

Consistently aching in such a bittersweet way.

Sand meets my toes that dig softly into the ground as my back 

settles on the ocean floor.

Too dark to see the particles blurring in my eyesight before me.

Light filters through in certain spots,

The only thing left filling my vision.

my mind succumbs to the deafening quiet.

No more air to release into the sea bearing an anvil on my chest,


A tomb i built only for myself.

Wallows

Forgetful baby 
Wallows in the night 
Screaming out 
With dry eyes. 
Bruised up child 
Cleaning up her sorrows 
Before morning comes and questions are asked 
Baby girl forced to give in 
Teething on her bed sheets 
Scratched her thighs 
With greasy nails 
Water droplets cold on her forhead drowning in the tub thats meant to cleanse 
In a room filled with the scent of bile, liquor, and shampoo. 
Its over. 
Its quiet.
For tonight at least.

A Letter To You

Its been two years 
Living in a daze 
Im living well 
My only regret is you cant see me now
Flourishing under all the things you taught me 
I hope your up there watching with delight 
As i take on this nearly apocalyptic world
It would be selfish to say i want you back 
As the world crumbles in defeat. 
But to say i wouldnt have you here with me every step of the way is a lie. 
You'd love the people ive let into my life 
And you'd be proud to see 
Im using the skills you taught me, everyday single day.
I miss you dearly

Ink

Black like ink, slimy gooey terror 
Marking trails across the floor.
A dash across the concrete leaving panic in your wake.
My minds like putty, adjusting to your story youve all but written into reality. 
Pills slide down my throat
To force you away
But you come back 
Everytime 
With a feeling of vegence. 
I cant help 
But to submit to your presence 
Cowering in the dimension you reside 
My heart melts to the floor, scattered feelings in the shadows in the walls. 
Uncertainty in my mind
Choking me silent

Shoes

My nana always says "lilian, make sure you buy yourself some really good shoes, because your feet are gonna have to carry you for the rest of your life!" 

But recently i was giving words of encouragement to someone, and realized the same could be said about your mind. 
Its one of the few things, if the only, that will be with you forever. So you need to be kind to it, give it sleep, and food and water. 
Be nice to your brain, encourage yourself and hopefully learn to love yourself. 
Because your only guaranteed yourself for eternity

Whisper

I used to hear myself
In the back of my head 
Telling myself the most aweful things
But ever since you showed up
The whispers have slowly quieted and replaced 
With every word of encouragement you shower me with. 

I feel like i can finally breathe again
