Krystal Thurston Poem
Maybe I’m drowning in my own thoughts
Maybe I’m living in my own storm
Maybe the trauma of the past are the waves crashing around my ship
Maybe the clouds and pouring rain drops are the fear surrounding every decision
Maybe the swirling winds around every moment of life are the negative perception of hear say of events that have happened
The hole causing the ship to sink is the words of the people sitting and staring just watching it drown
The death of air is the suffocation of silence
Use your voice is all that said
But in a wreck where your voice has been drowned out by all of the background noise for so long
Hope is what has been lost
The disappointment is what you have become
Now lost in the waters of your own head
Drowning in the conclusions of perceptions instead

Krystal Thurston Poem
Forbidden secrets I could never tell
Shared memories that have put us both through hell
One sided point of view
You forget I was there too
My mistakes I have made
Hoping you were the one that stayed
By your actions I have been deceived
I guess things weren’t as I believed
Away from my life you faded fast
Now your just a memory of the past
With us time has changed much
Adding a sense of life’s touch
A bond now broken
Was a life lessons token

Krystal Thurston Poem
A cry for help that goes unnoticed
One in which my mind lost focus
My silence shows the way I feel
Until my thoughts have had time to heal
Losing my voice is not my choice
Anxiety won’t let the words come out
In my head they scream and shout
They travel at a pace so fast
A black shadow is what they cast
Speeding faster than I can process
My words have become my biggest losses
Shutting down without control
It is something that takes its toll
For many people think they get to me
But, for that’s not true reality
For I just need time to think
About the way my words should link
A minute to just think and breathe
So my head is the space that I can leave

Krystal Thurston Poem
Crumbling beneath the mold
You have many stories untold
Sitting in a world of darkness, with all of its temptation
Leaves you with a mind numbing sensation
The thought of suicide crossed your mind
In your head your life plays on rewind
You’ve been on this downward spiral
And some of it has went viral
You claim the voices just get louder,
Making the darkest of days crash like waves of the ocean
Causing in many people’s lives a huge commotion
The cause of the current circumstances is self induced
Many peoples trust you have completely misused
Although I want to be there for you in your time of need
My personal health is not where I can continue to let you feed
When it comes to the boundaries I have set
Many times you’ve pushed past them, leaving my sanity in debt
This fall is one I can take no longer
It is in my efforts to try to remain stronger

Krystal Thurston Poem
Through the past two years I have made one decision that has changed my life
One decision to walk away and end the strife
Though times were bitter, they were also sweet
I chose not to accept defeat
Many people walked away
Those of many who claimed to stay
In a time of crippling anxiety
I had to work on my propriety
I had to realize I endangered my mental health
By condemning every inch of myself
Trying to do what others thought best
I had laid my soul to rest
Being a shell in an existing world
I watched as insanity swirled
In a time where I had become toxic
I knew I had to leave the feeling of being boxed in
Becoming distant from the world I knew
And keeping in contact with very few
I started to repair my soul
Against the damage that took its toll
For those of you that stuck around
I’m forever grateful for your sound

Krystal Thurston Poem
I miss you more than you will ever know
Through your truest actions, your deepest feelings show.
Years of life don’t seem to matter
Through time I watched our friendship shatter
You said you’d never leave
Those words in which I believed
They turned out to be a lie
Something in which I have to deny
I knew care and caution were the key
But I let my guard down finally
A friendship I hope to reconcile
But our wrongs have us both in denial
Til death due us part were your words
Ones in which this fight laid swords.

Krystal Thurston Poem
Scattered thoughts, they roam around.
On the verge of a mental breakdown.
The screaming and the noise never stop.
They grow faster, louder, more intense
Barely ever making sense.
Begging, pleading, ask for help.
Screaming, crying, you get the round about.
They jump around inside your head,
Making you wish you were dead.
Fighting the urge of fatal actions,
No one ever sees her simple tactics.
The scars, she hides them well.
A simple tool she uses to rebel.
The harm is known, but no one cares.
All she gets are peoples blank stares.
The hurt runs deep,
As it all seems to seep.
All her thoughts of anxiety
Have become nothing more than a society
They raise her up and push her down,
Frantically she searches all around
Stuck in her depressive state,
Things always seem like a huge debate.
She does her best to succeed,
But sometimes she can barely breathe.
Her grip on life is fading fast.
No one knows how much longer she will truly last
Her struggles bring her to today,
To what she wonders what to say.
The thoughts that travel through her mind,
Race and taunt and keep her blind.

Krystal Thurston Poem
Another angel taken way too soon
Another soul we have to talk to looking at the moon
Missed by many with the joy you spread
In our hearts your memory is always led
Even through your struggles you gave the world so much hope
And affected by your loss we all have to learn how to cope
We can be at ease knowing you are out of pain
But forever in our hearts you have left your stain

Krystal Thurston Poem
Her skin had become the canvas for the unmarked pain
The color of red dripping across her wrists covering that of a tears stain
Losing sight of everything she has lived for
Standing there knocking on deaths door
Begging pleading for him to let her in
Stating her heart can’t stay in this world of mortal sin
The fact is she had been feeling this way for a while
And no one noticed in her phase of denial
She stood there each day in front of the the people who said they cared
Slowly fading away as they just watched and stared
Standing there watching her as she pushed herself beyond her limits
Everyone preaches rules that no one implements
All it took was for one inconvenience to the higher power
And now her strength is what must tower
When she stood there and tried to talk
Her feelings is what they all would mock
When it became to much for her to bare
They all stood there with a confused glare
They stated she never had mentioned it
And now at their table is an empty place to sit

Krystal Thurston Poem
A fight that has been eternal lasting
This poem is going to put on full blasting
The gender bias of women being equal to men
It’s one fight that has truly been
And yet we still hold women to prove themselves beyond
For they are still trying to break societies bond
A conversation that has taken place
Is one that will prove this undertaken case
“Women are too emotional and get inside their head
So men are better off for the team to be led”
Their sensitivities get to them
From where do all these ideas stem
Women, should learn to communicate when they struggle
But men should hesitate when they have too much to juggle
It’s said they won’t ask for help just because they’re men
This is an idea that I don’t understand times ten
What’s fair for one is fair for all
At least that’s what they say by government law
