go to sleep, close your eyes
dream of broken butterflies
that tore their wings against a thorn
you know the pain that just was born
silver metal shines so bright
scarlet blood, it feels so right
rockabye baby, broken and scarred
im just a teen, why is life so hard?
time to end the pain you hid so well
and down will come, baby, to go straight back to hell
tears on my face
memories burned in my head
the roses have wilted
the violets are dead
hushabye baby, youre almost dead
you dont have a pulse and the bathwater's red
your family hates you, your friends let you bleed
sleep well with your demons, they're all that you need
no more sadness, no more pain
finally, all my sorrow's washed away

heartbeat
maybe you die twice in life once, when your own heart stops beating and twice when their heart starts beating for someone else...

ReplyHey! Whenever you feel down, think about all the possibilities and opportunities that's awaiting for you. No matter how hard it seems right now, it's just making you stronger for your future. There is always a way out of your pain, embrace it and rise up! You are stronger than you think. :)
Replyhey. I get what you're trying to say. I write poetry, too. I found that it's one of my favorite ways to express my emotions. Looking back on my poetry, i can feel the emotions I was feeling, and I can feel your emotion in yours. As much sad poetry as I write, I try to make sure that I remember that not everything's covered in black or red. The emotion, the pain, it's going to happen. There are rainy days and there are sunny days, we don't control the weather. Life is hard. It's a struggle. I struggle with it everyday, just like you. I don't know who you are. But I know that you deserve what little I can give.
it's okay, close your eyes
dream of broken butterflies
but butterflies whose scars they adorn
healed and stronger, no longer torn
please don't yearn for that metal bite
let your broken wings take flight
rockabye baby, battered and scarred
i'm here with you, i know life can be hard,
this depression has you under a spell
i have a secret, baby, i wish to tell
its okay to cry
the memories will flee
the roses will live
and so will we
hushabye baby, youre stronger now
if you stand tall even mountains will bow
you dont need your family, your friends are full of greed
you sleep with angels now, they're the friends that you need
no more demons, no more pain
only then can your sorrow be washed away
dont stop fighting, don't give up
show that youre stronger than them, and youll never give up
Let me know if you want to trade emails or something, we can chat, trade poetry, whatever. I know that it's always easier if there's someone to talk to that I can't see.
ReplyI know how you feel, I really do. I haven't figured out how to deal with any of this either, and it just makes me more ashamed to not be "normal" like everyone else, healthy. But through these years, the one and only thing I've learned is that apparently this will pass. As long as you keep searching, as long as you keep swimming, you'll eventually reach the surface. So don't give up. Just like the people on here that make a simple comforting comment on a post, there actually is people out there that want and can help you. Happiness won't come to you, you have to find IT. So don't give up.
ReplyThat was very moving. Just remember that you've got someone out there for you.
