Suicide, Self Harm, and Abuse Part 1

Suicide, Self harm and Abuse…

     The three things that are on my mind constantly. I hurt from the abuse I bleed from my self harm and I cry from my attempts. Sometimes I wish I can go somewhere and never come back. Sometimes I wish that none of this happened and sometimes I wish that she'd care more about me.

Goodbye For Good

Goodbye for good  

She was tired, she was crying, she was hurting and cutting but she was hurting too much that suicide got to her . 

Suicide told her that the world would be better off if she wasn't here anymore.

Suicide told her she would be happy again.

Suicide told her to say “goodbye for good”.

So...she did, she said those exact same words and suicide took her life.

Suicide took her life and laughed. 

Suicide took her life and told her to enjoy herself in the underworld. 

Suicide said “make yourself at home c’mon don't be shy I think you'll like it down here”.

She was scared at first but then the underworld warmed up to her, literally.
She said to suicide “it feels like home, like I belong, thank you so much suicide you saved my life”...

Why Is Life So Full of Such Hurt and So Many Lies

Why is life so full of such hurt and so many lies? How come every time I get hurt or a lie follows it or how come I even get lied to?

     I always end up getting hurt repeatedly, and honestly no one cares because to them I'm a nobody that feels hurt only for attention, but really that's not the truth. I feel the pain and hurt from every lie that's been lied, from every tear that drops and from every drop of blood that bleeds. 

    To me and my world there's no such things as "happiness" anymore. Every time I tend to seek "happiness" my dark mind and negative behavior has a tendency to make it run off and never come back. 

     At my attempts of looking for "happiness" again and again and again was of no avail, a task in vain, because the darkness inside me is giving in and feeding my dead and dark soul on the inside and I am here oblivious to ignoring it, and to not do anything about it because what's the point anymore what's the point of trying when everyone and even I know I'm not going to get anywhere and be happy. 

    All I really want to do now is nothing and be myself again: a dark, empty, low-life, pointless, and an uninteresting person the rest of my life.

Sorry

Sorry...

          Sorry for trying. Sorry for being with you a while. Sorry for "not caring". Sorry for ever being here or ever existing. Sorry for being apart of your life. Sorry for making mistakes. Sorry you've been "hurt" or "heart broken" so many times by different people including me. Sorry I have feelings because I'm human. Sorry for being a waste of space.

          Sorry I cant do what you expect me to do. Sorry I'm more aggressive than I was before. Sorry I cant be what you want me to be. Sorry for breaking promises. Sorry for never being "okay". Sorry for leaving instead of staying. Sorry for running away from my problems instead of sitting down and talking about them with you. Sorry for cutting after I made a promise to stop. Sorry for being suicidal and suicidal thinking. Sorry I have anger issues and don't know how to control them. 

           Sorry for everything.

Empty Its All I Am

empty: it's all i am 


    empty is what i feel now.

depressed is what i'll feel later.

    p***** is what i'll feel afterwards. 


cut is what i'll start to do.

    suicidal thinking is what i'll do afterwards 

cry is what finishes everything off.


    can it stop? 

does it stop? 

    will it ever stop?

does it have to do with the people i surround myself with? 

    am i really the reason of the cycle?

does it affect the world? 

    can it affect the world? 

will it ever affect the world?


    empty is all i feel now, 

now that my inner self is gone,

    nowhere to be found.

missing in action…

                    -rashelle.h.moreno

And Yet I Still Say Im Fine

Red is the color of the blood dripping off the blade.

Dark brown is the color of my eyes looking back in the blood stained chrome!

Pink is the color of my scars on my arm!

Green and purple are the colors of bruises on my skin.

AND YET I STILL SAY IM FINE!

Maybe Full Version

Maybe

   Maybe I'm just NOT FIT for the world
Maybe LIFE isn't for me
   Maybe I'm just the UNWANTED again
Maybe I'm a NOBODY
   Maybe DEATH is the ONLY way OUT of EVERYTHING...!!!

Maybe I'm NOT SUPPOSED to EXIST
   Maybe HOPE DOESNT COUNT as HAPPINESS
Maybe HAPPINESS DOESNT NEED to be NEEDED in LIFE
   Maybe life doesn't need to be needed at all 
Maybe I just CANT HANDLE being ALIVE ANYMORE 

   Maybe I CANT HANDLE the WORLD MUCH LONGER
Maybe I think IM DONE with EVERYTHING 
   Maybe I WASNT SUPPOSED to be LOVED
Maybe I WASNT SUPPOSED to be BROUGHT INTO the WORLD

  But maybe I was just a MISTAKE and maybe I should probably LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK...!!!

When I Realized

When I realized...


When I realized everything was a lie...

I cant believe this whole time I was being lied to, by the person I loved the most. All these feelings, emotions, and tears were a waste of time to you I guess, right? You know I never would've thought that I'd be getting hurt so many times by the same person at once. to be honest out of all the lies I've read and heard from you was "I love you". The sad part about all of this that the person I love claims to love me back but the real behind this fake is that she loves someone else and didn't tell me so I can leave them alone and leave her, period.

When I realized everything was a lie, my whole world tore apart...

I don't know to handle this anymore I either get quiet and show no emotions or I leave and find somebody else to chill and talk to until she notices me gone. Everyone told me to leave her and being the person I am now, I said "no, because I don't know how to let go, I don't know how to stop loving her, and she's the only one I've ever loved like this before.
