Tainted flowers

Darkness surrounds me 
I can no longer move
The flowers you once gave me 
Now entraps me in its roots
How could kindness turn so rude 
Yet I will never stop loving you
I watch as these flowers now black
Suffocate me 
Wrapping around choking out my breath
Keeping from me air needed to survive
Voices whisper in my head
This is no longer a friend
Yet I cling to these roots for dear life
Wishing it wasn’t right

Headaches

My friend once told me
She hurts her self because
She hates her life
She didn’t say it exactly like that
But at the time I couldn’t comprehend how she did it.
Now I kind of understand.
I practically do the same thing with my headaches.
I get them all the time.
Instead of taking medicine to make them stop.
I let the pain get so bad that no medicine could help.
Now most could see that’s a stupid thing to do.
But honestly it what I deserve. 
I’m a horid person 
Though most wouldn’t know
I pathologically lie
And I hate people so much that 
I wish they would just die.
I hate my self so much that one time I almost tried to die.
I won’t paint that sad picture 
Because I’m pretty sure 
You can already see it in your minds eye.
But now I just punish my self 
With these headaches 
To try killing myself on the inside.
