So Magical

is this the magic of Christmas?
weighing yourself before the festivities begin
eyes on every calorie you consume
smelling the food you know you’ll never eat
it’s a vicious cycle, one i’ll never beat
but i’ll beat myself up
another day of depression
counting down the days ‘till Christmas day
has turned to counting the calories every day
so magical!

all i want for christmas is to
get the stupid thoughts out of my mind
get the scars off of my arms
to find some joy in being alive
instead i'm sat here, alone in my room.
crying meaningless tears that make me feel like a fool
thinking about how many days i have left feeling this low
while my brother thinks about getting presents and snow
‘tis the season to hide in baggy clothes
the time to wear a fake smile just so nobody knows
about the pain in your stomach, the pain in your bones
so merry christmas everyone, just leave me alone

Where Do I Belong

too long i have longed 

for the feeling of belonging

each day i struggle 

to merely get up in the morning 

boiling the kettle 

buttering the bread 

oh how i wish 

i was somewhere else instead 

one day i may give up 

trying to please everyone else 

but for now, here i sit 

ashamed of myself

Love Is a Dangerous Game To Play

i laugh at myself
glancing over at you at the otherside of the room
smiling with that charm you somehow always manage to possess

i manage to look away
reminding myself that i can't win a losing game
not against you, anyway

fighting your witty demeanour
and captivating voice

i'm walking right past you
but ignoring you isn't a choice

I'll never forget the day where i first realised
that the game of love began

a bittersweet feeling of loss swept me off of my feet
love
this word could ruin everything i stand for
or change our lives forever
all in the click of a finger

i think to myself
am i too young to feel the way i do?
setting myself up for a journey of ecstasy and heartbreak

love is like a tug of war
pulling from one side to another
but eventually
we must admit
that all games must come to an end

Ocean Thoughts

red oozing from every seam

                      of my shell 

    stinging 

            like a jellyfish 

what is a body? 

                                 a home

                                               mine or theirs? 

a prison? 

          punished for 

   my flaws

                  the flaws i can’t change? 

a clownfish 

mind and body mirroring the 

   image of the striped, majestic, free

creature

if she’s a creature for her 

                                               beautiful  imperfections 

 then why am i imprisoned?

               trapped: enveloped in 

      Earths tentacles for mine?  

                                                     a monster

Rubix Cube

i wake up in the morning 

wash not one face, but six 

pigments on each side, crawling

to be seen, but never mix

again i change, 

but always the same 

unable to show all my range 

the rainbow is to blame 

why can’t i choose one way to be 

maybe people would stay 

belonging is alien to me

but i don’t let myself astray 

the colours have made their mark 

forever in my life 

slowly losing my light and spark 

darkness seaping like wounds from a knife 

seen, but never solved

Nothing Hurts

each line i draw

an elixir to my suffering 

being safe is a bore

i give up on recovering 

my life, my hopes, my dreams 

nothing left to gain 

another day not clean

numbing all the pain

this laborious cycle of hurt 

life dictated by a number 

and my future in the dirt

when i retire to endless slumber

nothing hurts anymore 

the hollow labyrinth of my mind

envelops me with every word 

and though i’m trying hard to find 

a place where my voice is heard 

i know my friends are worried 

but i couldn’t care less

doctors abstract words, hurried 

i just need to get it off my chest 

i can’t do this

fighting everyday 

no i can’t do this 

there must be another way

so nothing hurts anymore

Broken

when i first met you, i thought that was it 

the sharing of smiles

the glances across the room 

i was besotted with you.

i truly believed it was going to work 

the holding of hands 

the locking of eyes

i believed that it was us against the world 

and now it’s broke 

hope will forever remain 

the intertwining melodies of our lives 

your necklace that i still wear 

our paths may cross again some day 

but for now it’s broke 

broken by you

and me too
