(2013)
Long thin lines Across skin Placed there Upon day’s end Old ones pink
To tell the truth Most things are easy And I’m the one To destroy simplicity And blow things far
I walk through rivers, valleys, fo… Exploring all my thoughts Dreaming peacefully Things made up and memories Talking to friends and enemies
I put in my headphones To listen to songs And I listen to sad things Which tend to make me cry And I listen to screaming
Sitting on the bed And sometimes laying down The chill from the AC Is too uncomfortable I recoil from the breeze
I pretend I know everything, Or that I can do anything, But I don’t, And I can’t. Sure I may act
Ten times more They whisper hate And I wish they would stop Because of late I’ve seen these people
Walking talking depression Who’s too big around the waist Saying you’re messed up But what I’ll never understand Is how you think that you’re
Eyes are shifting Slowly sifting Through the darkness Of the scrying glass, Hours spent staring
I want to be the one You tell your problems to, Because no one else seems to liste… I want to be the one Who understands you,
Scars on legs And scars on arms Incisions on bodies And stitches for sealing Cuts and scrapes
In the morning wake And breathe fresh air To distract my thoughts From a recent nightmare Then go through processes
Sometimes I feel myself Willing to cry And sad over nothing I can remember That would make me upset
In my ear, Ana whispers And tells me just Be thinner, dear But I fear
My sudden bursts Of depression Are like a typhoon Flooding a small island Or a hurricane
