Dying

The knife in my wrists is going farther.
The gun in my hand is rising.

The dagger in my chest is sinking deeper.
The arrow through my heart is being ripped out and I'm crying.

I know you're not a mind reader,
So this is what I'm thinking,

I feel like dying.

Wonder

Living.
Such a simple word.
To define it?
Impossible.
To live.
Same meaning.
Not exactly.
Much harder.
Dying.
Such a dramatic word.
When you think of it you think of pain and suffering.
Many images flash through your mind.
Most are terrifying.
Others are depressing.
Few are peaceful.
I find the word dying as a peaceful thought.
When you die, you are gone from this horrifying backstabbing world forever.
Or so it would seem.
There are many questions here.
Do I become a phantom?
Do I disappear completely?
Does my soul really get saved?
Will I go to heaven?
Is there a such a place called so?
If so.
Will I  become an angel?
If not.
Will I go to hell?
Is there a such a place called so?
If so.
Will I meet the devil?
Or become a demon?
If not.
Will I turn to dust and be forgotten?
Will I cease to exist in every or any way possible?
So many questions.
So many answers.
Are any of them correct you ask?
Who knows.
So I repeat.
Dying.
Such a dramatic word.

That Girl

I'm the girl that the boys attract
I'm the girl that's never alone
I'm the girl that puts on the good child act.

I'm that girl you see having fun
I'm that girl who's always laughing
I'm that girl who hides from the sun.

I'm the girl that always gets kissed
I'm the girl that talks too much
I'm the girl that never feels missed.

I'm that girl who feels ignored
I'm that girl who feels alone
I'm that girl,while being good, feels bored.

I'm the girl that feels used
I'm the girl that feels nobody hears her
I'm the girl that feels so bruised.

Yep, I'm THAT girl.
The one who's sick of all of this!
Yep, I'm THAT girl.

I'm the girl who's stuck in a cage
I'm the girl who nobody takes seriously
I'm the girl with all this rage.

I'm that girl that watches as blood runs down her wrist
I'm that girl that punches the couch
I'm that girl that put you, on the kill list.

I'm the girl who flips out
I'm the girl who does'nt seem to care
I'm the girl who wants to scream and shout.

I'm that girl you want to turn in
I'm that girl you didn't expect
I'm that girl you don't see burnin'

I'm the girl who can't hurt a fly
I'm the girl you dont know on the inside
I'm the girl who knows how to cry.

Yep, I'm THAT girl
The one who's sick of all your fun.
Yep, I'm THAT girl.
The girl thats done.

Better Now

I'm not going anywhere
Though I've tried to leave
You acted like you didn't even care
See the proof beneath my sleeve

I'm not going anywhere
Dont worry about me
Though this life ain't fair
I'm fine now, don't you see?
