Literature Text

Sometimes, I think when I walk alone
Someone will abduct me
Shaking my throbbing head.
I think of all the reasons no one would want me.

Sometimes, I think when I sit alone
I am too emotional
Rubbing my aching chest.
I think of all the times I was heartless.

Sometimes, I think when I can't sleep
I am strong
Wiping away the endless tears.
I finally stop lying to myself.

Looking at all my problems
I find the source of all these self inflicted wounds
Scarring my tender flesh
A cold reminder of the harsh truth
I Am Alone.

Look at her

I want to steal a glance at her subtle perfection but this room is too full ff distractions I can't seem to catch her eye No, that's an excuse. Because she wills me to look How can I deny her? Something is squeezing the life out of me I can feel my energy draining I suppress a shiver and shake her brothers hand off my shoulder Just a warning, he said. She's right there Across the room I can hear her laugh Floating is way to my ears "Look at me" What if I misunderstood her? She may not have intended for me to notice her but how could I not? There's a man at her side I can't look at her directly her dress dances around her knees my heart

All Alone...

All Alone... Have you ever been alone? I mean all alone? Where you have no one and nothing to comfort you? Not just being upset with your best friend, for something they had done, and then not talking to each other, for a couple of days or even a few weeks... Or not just having a simple argument, with your dad or mom or brother or sister, or with people in general, and feeling like no one understands you... I mean being truly alone... No family, no friends no significant other, nothing... As if everyone you ever loved, has either died and been buried, or long since stabbed you in the back, and completely forgotten all abou

To the Vein

To the vein that wasn't cut To everyone who called me a slut Just let it be known, I can stand on my own Though I still have the need I refuse to bleed My scars haven't healed but my wounds have all sealed. I'm ready to throw out my blade and to watch my deepest hurt fade. For three long years, my blood was my tears... So To The Vein That Wasn't Cut I am Enough.

Emo.Tional

Emo. Goth. "What, are you goth or something?" ... "See. She is emo." ..why.. You've left me kneeling in the aisle way, Between desks, Picking up the pieces, Picking up myself While I'm cautious not to let a faucet run from my face "Abby..Are you alright..?" My history teacher...so kind, I absolutely adore her.. I tried to hold myself together as I made no effort to stop tears that raced down. I just wanted to run.. "If you need to, you can go into the hallway.." A shake of my head would tell her no, but if I could speak I'd say yes. "Abby, you okay?!" Karina.. so polite "What is i-oh..."

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

Words to Emotion

I wish I could tell you I was doing okay the words and emotions would be one in the same I want to smile and feel the happiness rush through me what a world it would be if my emotions followed the words that I wished them to be.

Literature

Broken

I'm not broken, Just a little bent. All those words you've spoken, Just left me a little dent. My heart isn't shattered, It just has a crack. Sore, bruised, and battered, But my tears I hold back. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine, I swear. I just want you to see, That I'm still able to be repaired. Even though I'm hurt, damaged, and weakened, Even though I've felt so much pain. It doesn't mean I'm truly beaten, It just means that I'll need a little help again.

i drank the poison from your lips, i dug my fingers in the cracks between your ribs, held tight: a living vice and prayed that we would last the night. (but we suffocated in the cages of our bed covers, cold like the surface of the moon.)

Odd times

Things aren't always what they seem Take the dice and shake it twice Come on come on Let life roll to pieces It may seem odd But you are strange Time ticks to the sound of my heart As you wave your goodbyes Forever the sun was in your eyes It may seem odd But you are strange Please take my heart as you take my hand Don't pick the dice up Cause this ain't a gamble Just one blow and we're gone It may seem odd But you are strange Take a wink and a kiss I guess this is goodbye

She Talks With Monsters

This girl never had a fear of monsters. She allowed them to rest on the insides of her eyelids, the crook of her neck, the empty spaces of her chest cavity. She had no fear, there were much scarier things in this world than darkness, clawing at her back. Living for the night she etched her dreams upon the bars of her cage whispering of centuries past because she truly missed the sun, grass on her back. Frosty Decembers have her forgetting what it feels like to love, but she knows who she is— she doesn't need the taste of cigarette ash suffocating her inside her own flesh. November skies tore open this night, ripping a hole i

Raoul's Death

All Christine could do was stand there, watching in horror as her beloved fiancé and demented tutour locked blades. She couldn't live with another grave before her. She just couldn't. In no time, Raoul was at the Phantom's mercy. He pleaded, oh how he pleaded, but to no effect. The Phantom plunged his blade through him, and kept doing it over and over again. Christine could glimpse a river of scarlett spraying on Erik's face. Now it truly was distorted. Every emotion she had felt before left her. She was left limp, pale, dead. Tears, very warm tears, trickled down her cheeks, but she couldn't feel them. She had nothing left to

Social isolation can undermine the human spirit. We need friendship and to interact and connect with others. Being alone sucks, so I hope you are not in that situation again. Better days are still to come. Nicely done.
