I Am Addiction

I am addiction 
I will stay with you; I will be your sin
Seething and screaming until you give in
I am addiction
I will leave you in tears
No warning, I'm yearning to strip you of years
I am addiction
I will take away your pride
I will follow you, I will swallow what's left inside
I am addiction
I will always take my toll
Inviting, Inticing I will rip at your soul
I am addiction 
you'll never try me just one time
I will stay with you, spend each day with you, commit another crime
I am addiction
I will cut you; I am a metaphorical knife
Slicing you and dicing you, threatening your life
I am addiction 
aren't I just fun?
Ripping you and stripping you; my destruction has just begun

When a Daughter Loses Her Father

When I was just just a little girl I thought I knew it all 
But as the years passed by I have never felt so small 
I never knew what life would be like without you teaching me 
But now I'm lost and am scared but there's no way to flee 
Dad I know you'd want me to be happy and I know you'd want me to smile 
But losing you has confused my soul and set me back awhile 
We were just becoming closer, becoming the best of friends 
I know we had many disagreements but in the end we made amends 
I miss you everyday and cry when I'm alone 
I'm lost inside with nowhere to hide I wish that I had known 
Life is different now I feel guilty to laugh and sing 
I know it shouldn't be that way but you were my everything 
I looked up to you for guidance, for strength, for love, for hope 
But in the end you'll always be my best friend and in time I'll learn to cope 
It's almost been three years dad and life has knocked me down 
It's beaten me up, bruised my heart, and tossed me all around 
But life has also brought a brand new meaning 
From diaper changes, little coos, and the occasional screaming 
From I love you's, to bedtime kisses, all the way to morning messes 
From pacifiers, to baby swings, and little tiny frilly things 
Baby baths, little naps, apple juice, and diaper bags 
Cuddles, tantrums, spills, and cuts 
So much sass it's driving me nuts 
The stress, the love, this life that I chose 
Could only get better the more that they grow 
My heart is so full, this much is true 
The only thing my life could ever need now is you.

I Am Who I Am

I am who I am regardless of who you want me to be
I am finally figuring out what it is to be free
Lose a little weight? No, that's my decision
If I am not who you want, not who you envision
Then there's the door because I'm going to keep on living
I have changed on my own despite the "advice"
I've let go of others opinions, broke free of that vice
I no longer care what hateful, vile, madness you spew
I'll let you talk amongst the grapevine; I've let go of that too
When I decided to move here I thought I had escaped all of the insults
But your house of gossip held every one of my faults
Is that his baby? Your mom is crazy, why are you so lazy? It got to me daily
I've let it wash away with the rain, got rid of the pain, and I've been who I want to be lately
Talk with me deeply, with wisdom and kindness; This I need
No more flames for your fire; Snuff it out I must and I will succeed.

Overcoming Anxiety and Depression

My heart was a mess
I was in complete distress
but I laid those thoughts to rest
and now I'm trying my best
Holding on to the memories
but never looking for more than a moment at the past
For my eyes stay forward and leave the past at my back
Stay positive, stay hopeful, don't let the world leave you a mess
I used to be afraid of failing but I'm soaring high above distress
Facing my fears head on and conquering the anxious voice inside
I ignore that bitter voice and love is all that will reside
Hate will not consume me, control me, i wont let it doom me or ever again even know me
The thoughts of depression are much more than a lesson
It taught me that happiness is where I am destined
You cannot have the good without the bad, this I know
So I'll let the sadness blanket over me like a frigid winter's snow
But I will not stay there in that deep abyss of sorrow
Because I know with sadness comes happiness and there's always tomorrow
Without sadness, happiness loses its astounding appeal
I want to experience every emotion, I want to know that it's real
To fear is not living, it only takes without giving, and the life i was living, was more than misgiving
The regrets and mistakes that I had made were all just trial and error
I will not let this depression instill me with unnecessary terror
So let's reach for the skies and break free from this awful vice
We only get one life, one chance, so let us dance away into blissful paradise

I'M Losing My Best Friend

I've noticed something, something that was off
I've noticed a change so drastic, you've become lost
Somewhere between living and just being alive
No more big dreams of being someone, you've lost all of your drive
We're drifting not because of distance or differences and I fear it's only just begun
I've been there, still am there, mental illness plus one
Addiction, such a terrible and awful waste
We've gone through this together, drove miles just to get a taste
If you're looking for someone to blame please blame me
This guilt is always following me, why couldn't I just see?
I gave you your first Adderall in high school, introduced you to something worse
The taste of battery acid and chemicals, I wish those memories would just disperse
Yes I know I didn't force it upon you, this much is true
But as soon as you fell for the drugs the drugs fell for you
Please put down the bag and look into the mirror
You see that beautiful girl is still there but that's all that will appear
We used to speak deeply of our feelings but now it's all sadness and despair
Where did you go? How can I help? Will you ever break free from there?
When we talk we don't talk for long, your friends are back, I get it, time to go
I am struggling too and would rather talk to you, when my mind brings me so low
I always went to, always would vent to you but recently I don't have much of a choice
I can barely get a thought in before I hear someone else's voice
The saddest part was when I needed you by my side the most you weren't there
The funeral was so hard and I cried so much, life was so unfair
Loved ones closest to you can let you down: cut you the deepest
And that day I was on the edge of a desolate cliff that seemed to be the steepest
I've been wanting to spend time with you but don't get my hopes up anymore
The life I chose was so far that when I left you had to fill that hole with something more
You will always be welcome, I will never turn you away
But it's a two way road, we talk less each and every day
I'm starting to worry, my anxiety is back, loved ones are worried about you
They've told me you've fallen too deep and they want you away from that place too
They've also noticed your paranoia, rapid weight loss, and the excuses you make
You're killing yourself with every snort, inhale, and every pill that you take
I love you, you are my best friend, I'd do anything just to take the pain away
My thoughts are with you always, and there will be a place in my heart and forever you'll stay

Anxiety, Just Leave Me Be

I'm a nervous wreck when my anxiety makes its presence known
It swallows me whole; my happiness a sinking stone
I want to rise above my insecurities, soar above my flaws, float weightlessly over my obstacles and have confidence I won't fall.
Why can't I just face this anxiousness? Why can't I just be strong?
I want to rediscover my own strengths and find courage to carry on.
Am I even in control of my thought process? I feel like a prisoner in my own head.
Please understand this is something I can't control ; I'd rather be fearless instead.
I see you all with your head's held high while mine faces towards the ground.
I feel beat down; defeated. Anxiety has won this round.
I cannot help my perception is lacking because I'm so lost within my head.I'm calling out for help but can't seem to shake this dread.
I'm begging you anxiety do this one thing for me. 
Release my mind and set me free.

Paranoid Schizophrenia

How can I help her when she doesn't want help?
She's content with living this way
No one can help her, not even herself
Her mind is her enemy but maybe not today
Paranoid Schizophrenia, I can't imagine how it feels
Trusting no one but yourself and your kids can be hell
Her thoughts recede to her past; Her mind, it reels
She distorts what has happened to what is happening; she simply cannot tell
I wish I could go back to when she was small
I would pick up the pieces and become the mother she never knew
I would build up defenses. ever so tall
And I would never let them hurt her; I would tell them their reign was through
Her step-mom was evil inside and out
Her father just sat by and let that disaster continue
She would beat her, mistreat her, degrade her no doubt
If I could've I would've, But now what could I do?
This beautiful soul, oh what a beautiful find
She fought for her kids; gave them everything she never received
For a long time, no one knew that she struggled with her mind
She held on for so long until it was time that she grieved
Her real mother moved out of state left her for another
But when she finally forgave her, memories would appear
She wished that her mom could've been more than a distant mother
But instead, she raised two kids of her own with a new love she held so dear
She raised them, she praised them, she was patient and kind
She had the personality I strive for each and every day
She was loving and giving despite her paranoid mind
She is a mother to me and my brother and I am thankful in every way
At the end of November 2013, her real mother passed away
She did not get to grieve, for she lost her husband in December
She's still trying to get through it, even today
I will never forget the sorrow; I will forever remember
My father had always been the rock; solid ground that she needed
Losing him shook us to our core; a pain I never knew
And that's when I lost her, that beautiful soul, her mind didn't want to believe it
She slowly distorted those thoughts and they became untwined through and through
On December 9th I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl
My mother loved her as if she were her own
But it was then her memories started to unfurl
Distortion, absorption, her thoughts became all that she had known
Some days she's happy but other days her fury becomes her
Anger, resentment, feelings she never truly got to display
If I could go back to my childhood; back to that little girl
I would tell her she's perfect despite her dismay
I would hold onto her; never fight or fuss
I would drown out her silent sorrow wipe away all of the hidden tears
She was and is the perfect mother; I am so thankful she created us
And despite the pain I am feeling today, I am grateful for all of the beautiful years

Bulimia Nervosa

Through smokey eyes, there lies
a girl whose innocence begins to materialize
To her surprise no one can hear her cries
because she's all alone in her masked disguise
Don't blame her, blame the world
Blame this girl she thought would unfurl
But now she's numb and feeling quite dumb
Her eyes tear-stained she's coming undone

Desire

His green gold flecked eyes stare into mine and I am whole
My love for him etched itself perfectly into my soul
I thought I've loved before but oh i was so wrong
His hands dance upon my body like a melody, a beautiful song
His lips meet mine and we are fire
His warm skin against mine is pure desire
And together we mesh, two perfect puzzle pieces
His soft lips kiss me in all the right creases
We come up for air and stare into each others eyes
He moans at the sound of my soft muffled cries
It's pleasure, excitement, and pain all rolled up into one
And I feel as if I'm coming undone
Unraveling, opening like spring's first bloom
And he's moaning like he's unraveling too
Making love is better than emotionless intercourse
This lust and love is churning at full force
And I let myself fall deeper, sink into the motion
Our bodies in tune, sway like the ocean
I've given him all I have and even more
Pleasing him, teasing him, pleasure galore
He loves the way I caress him down there
And I see the burning desire in his pleasured stare
After we're done we fall into each other once more
Holding each other tight, it's him I completely adore
I'm reborn feeling thoroughly brand new
Before we fall into a deep slumber we both whisper, "I love you".

Life In My Perspective

To live is to die, to love is to suffer
To hurt is to learn and to feel is to fear
To die in the arms of your beautiful lover
Holding on is letting go to the ones that are dear
