When I was
A small girl
My father told me
To never look at the stars
and feel alone
When I felt
Cheated,
hurt,
or
despised,
I closed my curtains
A while ago
Those curtains ripped
So not only I stare at the stars
and feel alone
the stars look back
and they're empty

love letters on old parchment
whenever im around you i
bleed poetry, the
metaphors and analogies all
burst from my blue veins, leaving me
empty and full, a walking paradox,
i'm so confused.

no longer need oxygen,
stardust is fine,
i cant function with you in the
back of my mind, im
a mess.
i've noticed the way you
raise your eyebrows when
you're amused, the
corners of your mouth turn
up into a grin in the
loveliest of ways,
you make me forget how to think.
i never believed in love at first
sight until you crossed my path,
ive never felt love like this.
most of my poetry is a yearning
cry to sylvia plath, i
always felt drawn to her
A drifted lonely as a fog,
Just to be blow by a wind.
I dragged slowly as a bog,
Just to be polluted by a friend.
I crawled as a pest, angry and lazy,
Until I came upon a valley of daisies.

If you don't understand...
If you don’t understand mental illness, good.
Good
for
you.
You shouldn’t have to understand.
If you don’t understand why some people can’t get out of bed in the morning, good.
I hope you jump out of bed every single day; ready to take the world by storm.
If you don’t understand how someone could drag a blade across their skin, good.
I hope you’re never that desperate to feel something.
If you don’t understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself despite everything she lost in the process, good.
I hope you stay heavy, present and real.

Literature
The Optimistic Pessimist.
I am hopeless.
No longer will I think that
I can change.
This world is broken
Don't let others tell you
It's not.
I'll prove that
They're wrong.
"Life isn't worth living"
I say.
Never will I
Think that twice.
My sister, my brother,
These are dark days.
"It can't possibly get better."
You will say, I know you will.
You'll fall,
It's going to happen
And you can get up.
It's never healthy.
To look at something one-way:
I want you to read again.
Backwards.

Silicon-wrapped thoughts at midnight by Lassmichnicht, literature

Silicon-wrapped thoughts at midnight
I am a poet.
My words of depression,
Sadness,
Anger,
And lust
Drip onto the white slip of paper i've pulled from my pocket
I am a lover
My feelings of
betrayal,
enjoyment,
laughter,
and
pain
rip across the white slip of paper i've pulled from my pocket
I am a fighter
My experiences of
distrust,
longing,
fear,
and disturbia
cautiously make their path towards other people,
so that they can help
or at least
try.
I am a poet
I write,
I love,
I hurt,
and I fight
for my poems
for my knowledge
for my life
and fighting,
is something that we all must do.
Hush,
Allow the liquified moonlight to run down your skin,
Take in a deep breath as it drips off your fingertips.
Close your eyes,
The velvet sky will open her keener eye,
And wrap you in safety.
Fall backwards,
Such viridescent openings await your presence,
As do the vermillion petals that grow along their stems and roots.
Such a natural landscape,
Brimmed with twists and turns of a realistic fairy-tale.
I wish to lie on a cloud, basking in the natural oceanic blue swirls of the daylight sky. Sneaking between channels of warm and cool, before plummeting out of sight and sound.
To travel is one's on whimsical desire, and to be lost in a field of forgetfulness is divine.
A slowly melting sun drips off your eyelids, and a crossing of miles, thousands, millions, billions of miles of pure blue.
I can't sleep,
[Don't make me drift into slumber]
I want to hold you tightly and
[Listen to the sound of your breathing]
Your heartbeat is so simple, but it's
[so beautiful]
I wake between scattered blankets,
[Soft whispering]
My heart in irregular motion,
[I can feel the skipping]
missing [craving]
the soft [yearning]
skin from your lips. [longing]
I veil my face from day, to keep my eyes fixed on a dream. [A modern day Romeo and Juliet]
The only place I can touch your face, without getting caught in a
scheme.

i heard our song playing softly on the speakers in
an old coffee shop downtown and i swear to god i could taste blood in the back of my mouth.
god, fuck you for ruining the ink spots for me.
when im alone at night i can still see your shadow
following me around the halls, it doesnt matter if im with two people
or twenty, you'll just never fucking leave, will you?
because of you i flinch when my bedroom door opens,
my heart races and i lose all feeling in my legs because
i just know its you and your ugly rage
"goddammit, what did i tell you?"
the night after it happened i made you eggs.
warm, sunny-side up, with a side of regret and ag

i'm not alice, this isn't wonderland, but i am just as surrounded by things that yell,
"eat me! drink me!" and they don't say it but i know they'll all make me bigger,
sadder, fatter, too big to fit into a house, my arms my legs come shooting out,
everything i feel is just too loud-
look.
i should be better than i am.
i should be taking the world by the shoulders, shaking back its shoulders because i am a storm, i am a force of nature and you will take notice-
but my winds are quiet

1. Do you snore?
Nope! I do mumble in my sleep, and if I’m really worn out I might whimper or something.
2. Are you a lover or a fighter?
Mmm… Both, in a sense. I hate starting conflict, but if you push me, I’ll go to the end of the Earth to f*** up your life. <3
3. What’s your worst fear?
Jesus Christ, uhhh… I’d have to say being alone.
4. As a kid, where you a lego maniac?
Nah. I didn’t have any.
I had CDs and stuffed animals.
5. What do you think of “reality” tv?
It’s stupid, really. What’s the point?
6. Do you chew on your straws?
Nope~
