Makayla Palmer Poem
I convince myself that I will get better.
That these hard days will soon leave.
but, maybe I don't want them too.
maybe I just want something that will stay.

Makayla Palmer Poem
I put myself in dangerous situations.
Not because I want to die,
But maybe because even fear itself is better than being numb.
-I’d just like to know what wanting to live feels like.

Makayla Palmer Poem
I like the way my mania feels,
She comforts me in my weakest moments.
She holds me in her arms and sings to me.
When it’s her time to go she gives me one last kiss and wipes my tears.
Without her here I am wasting away.

Makayla Palmer Poem
I give my love to everyone around me,
those who need it more than I.
I give my body for a moment of affection,
The validation I crave deep within.
I give my life to please everyone,
Giving everything I refuse to give myself

Makayla Palmer Poem
I could write poetry into your skin and you'd still ignore it.
-I guess love poems aren't meant for me.

Makayla Palmer Poem
I remind him of you,
I remind you of him
I share your face and share his anger.
I share his eyes and share your sadness.
I am the product of both
-Yet I’m nothing like either.

Makayla Palmer Poem
You do not see my body as beautiful,
rather something that gives you pleasure.
You do not view my lips as mine,
but as something that lets you in.
You do not see the way I look at you,
but I see the way you look at everyone else.

you left me
you left me alone
and I can't forgive you.

Makayla Palmer Poem
When life begins to slip away,
I take a bath.
With one last breath,
I hold myself under the water.
In this stillness, I am calm.
The relief of death seems to comfort me.

Makayla Palmer Poem
Because you knew you weren’t in this forever
You had an escape plan since day one
I kept tearing up the map
In hopes you’d just forget about the plan
And stay mine for just a little longer.
