I'm fine
When I asked you if you were happy
there was silence and then a small yes,
it's good, -I want you happy.
But I'm sorry I could not return
the same answer to you.
Even at the lowest I've been
I've always managed fine
A second before my blood flows
-i'm fine
A second before my body ends
-i'll be fine
and now after you called,
sitting on the toilet floor,
I'm fine.
The last resort
When daydreams don't disperse the night mares
I only find warmth in dark images of destruction
Cutting deep for the first time,
the ruby red pearls fall in harmony with my tears
As my lips pray for natural death
I cry, huddled into a ball on the bed.
i cry, cutting deeper and deeper,
as if to prove that i have real reasons
real reasons which are different from everyone else's
genuine reasons for feeling like this.
What can I say?
What a lovely sleep I had,
What a beautiful morning.
What a crap afternoon.
But what's my evening going to be like?
Pain.
I read my writings,
wondering at the meaning
of the words I wrote.
Do I feel what I say,
or is it that I say what I feel?
How do you find the words
to fill the silence your eyes left?
I show happiness to low people,
-too delicate to deal with mine.
I try to remind myself I am unstable
but then I fool myself with white lies.
And I relax the chains
and once more feel the pain.
