twenty four

i am a nasty girl.

i scream.

i bite.

i cry.

i scratch.

i yell.

i pull.

but i just want to be heard.

january

you reached your hand into my chest and stole what was mine, you stole my soul.

i have a hole where it should be, i search for a replacement in the people around me. but i know you still possess it.

i know you keep it with you at all times.

give it back to me, return what belongs to me.

return what i must give to someone new, you can no longer keep my soul in your back pocket.

you never treated it with care, its cracked and bruised.

she screams out in the night, she misses me as i miss her.

you're a thief. but i know i will forgive you.

child

i think she might be coming back.

the child i shelter and protect inside myself.

she's so little and innocent.

but her voice is demanding and horrifying.

she doesn't understand i just want to protect her.

i nurture and she ruins.

she ruins me.

she is me.

caterpillar

for you i am whatever you want me to be.

i would morph myself into a butterfly if that's what you want.

i would peel off this skin i already possess and sew on a new one.

i would forage in the forest for wings and attach them to my back.

is that what you want?

have i been a caterpillar for too long?

rotten carcass

I have calluses on the inside of my body.

I am smooth and polished on the outside.

But once you peel away my cocoon, you will find cuts and bruises.

My intestines are knotted, tied in one big bow.

My bones are cracked and discolored.

my muscles are tangled and weak.

My brain has pins in it, i am someone's voodoo doll.

But no one will ever know, i hide it so flawlessly.

gentle

i tried so hard to be gentle for you, to be quiet for you

i tried to silence my anger so your adulation could be heard

in the end, you did make me quiet. but, my anger is still there, pulling at the strings keeping me together. she wants to get out.

i must keep her in, she hurts too many, she ruins too much, maybe that's not her, maybe that's me. maybe that's you.

your initials will always be engraved into my soul. my eraser broke, i'm stuck with this branding.

you called me pretty, but a pretty face is nothing when you have a vandalized soul. you made me unloveable.there is no longer room for anyone else's name.

you hated my anger, but she loved you. I think she still does.

rage

nobody loves an angry girl.

so i muffle my screams with my bloody arm.

but thats not enough is it.

my rage is displayed on my face everywhere i go.

it lurks under my scars. 

anger is a part of me.

fury, melancholy, confusion.

there's no way to hide it.

scars

my scars have faded.

i still remember where they were.

i could map out every blemish and imperfection on my body.

you used to kiss them and tell me i was perfect.

but now that they have disappeared, what is there for you to kiss?

raw

i can slaughter the girl i once was, but i must learn how to love the woman i have become.

i can eat my decomposing body, to feed my new one.

pick apart all the rotten things about me, separate them from my beauty.

i can dissect and collect everything about the innocent girl i once was.

but all that knowledge will never heal me.

all that flesh will never feed me.

all that beauty will never satisfy me.

depth

dont leave me here 

i can't be alone

the voices overwhelm me

the lights blind me

the stench sickens me

the thoughts scream to me

with you its not so scary

you hold and comfort me

with you i can fight the darkness of my brain

protect me

once more?

before im all gone
