Once Upon a NightmareOnce upon a mysteryOnce Upon a Nightmare3 weeks ago in Free Verse More Like This
Once upon a crime
Once upon a lullaby
Once upon a rhyme
Once upon a thunderstorm
Once upon a lie
Because every nightmare tends to start
With once upon a time.
One of those peopleShe is one of those peopleOne of those people3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Who like to play games
She's not afraid of looking stupid
And not acting her age
She knows how to put
A smile on my face
She never ever judges me
Never says I'm strange
She is one of those people
Who enjoy their coffee
Always paying attention
Taking everything in
One of those people
Who will hug you softly
And when the rain pours down on me
I know she'll take me in
She is one of those people
Who often feel lonely
With a radiant smile
And a heart so big
That even if you'd put the whole world inside it
There would be space for more sweetness to hop on in
She is one of those people
Who like your natural side
So y
In a Little Girl's MindThere sits the girl with the things in her eyesIn a Little Girl's Mind3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Monsters, destruction, and sweet butterflies
Hopscotch and daisies, surrounded by screams
Beautiful dresses now torn at the seams
Crayons and paintbrushes, villains and grins
Young, gladsome innocence, hatred and sins
Little red houses on roads left to fade
Gorgeous moonlight shining off of the blade
Blood pouring out as she cries her own name
Knowing she's forced to take each bit of blame
She could have stopped it and left it behind
All of these things in her troubled young mind
She could have saved them if she dared to try
Rather, though, she left herself there to die.
Now, others watch as she

Cut ItI’ve got so much to sayCut It3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
But not enough words to say it;
Perhaps I should scream it
Or cry it,
No;
I should cut it.
Blood speaks so much louder than words,
Blades cry so much sharper
Pain screams so much softer
And it’s the only way I know how to talk
Even if it makes it hard to walk
For days after.
I think I’m going to hell,
Well, that’s just swell
Because ever since I fell
Pain’s all I’ve known anyway.
It’s like a blanket,
Hiding all the hate from view,
The shield between me and the monster,
The monster that is me.
Ever heard of freedom?
Yeah, so have I,
But I don’t know what it is
Only tha
AnorexiaMeet a girl named No One, with a heart of shattered stoneAnorexia4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Staring at the other girl, the one that's not alone
Girl with skin that glistens, with the eyes of crystal seas
Grin of shining diamonds and a laugh like a disease
Flashes just a glance and soon, she's every trouble's cure
She has everything… and No One's off to be like her.
Eating turns into a crime, she'd rather be away
Thrusting fingers down her throat to make herself okay
Watching as her very bones are seen behind her flesh
There she drowns in tears, for she has not yet seen success.
Minutes turn to hours, and these hours turn to days
Every moment slipping, slowly fading

Or do you choose not to look?
I want to share my story,
But you close me like a book.
I'm screaming as I cry,
But you refuse to hear.
Look away as I die,
Ignore each little tear.
Am I not loud enough?
Is that why you ignore my scream?
My life is tough,
Help me escape this bad dream.
I scream a bit higher.
Please, I need your help!
My circumstances are dire.
I'm losing myself.
But you do not help me,
And I've decided to give up.
Maybe then you'll see.
Ha! That's just my luck.

She never knew why. But she was always depressed. The simplest of things started to effect her. Annie had been struggling with it on and off for a while. She had started thinking she was stupid as her grade had dropped badly. She was under stress from school and started to spend less time with her friends. She lied to them over and over again.
"What happened to your arm, Annie?" they would ask.
"Oh my cat attacked me again," She mumbled. She didn't have a cat. She was doing to herself; each night; each morning. It started out with picking her lip until it bled. She didn't even know it was a

Deafening Laughter
Only adds to the pain
More after....
Passing through
Halls, distant eyes
Staring and beaming
Down, only to be
Afraid ever more so.....
Not wanting only
To have certain
Ones apart of there
So called society......
Only wondering
But cannot hear
Words being so
Passively spoken.....
Maybe to see how
It felt, to see how
Being a victim of
Such silence can
Be so abusing to
Oneself….

Tick-tock
The clock struck five
Another minute passed
Time controls our lives
Can I turn back the dials?
No one has to know
I'm just so very tired
Watching the time go
The clock doesn't care
An objects mocks our hearts
Numbers arranged in a circle
Could be wrong from the start
Tick-tock
Hours passing by
There's nowhere you can hide
Before it's time to die
Can I wake up?
Maybe it's a dream
Can I turn the hourglass around
And then go back to sleep?
The sand drips like water
Flowing freely in a space
Reminding sons and daughters
One day they'll be erased
Tick-tock
This noise is in my head

never to existed in their mind
no reason to cheer
this is why I was designed
there's a cloud over me and its raining knives
all smiles are faked
no one hears his cry's
as he sits there shivers and shakes
doesn't even try to reach out because there's nothing there
only my own numb stare
no desire to fight the devils wrenches
would anyone notice if I could disappear
because Im starting to feel warm in these trenches
would they even shed a tear?
Sick of the acting

The baby that I never got to see.
And maybe, just maybe that baby would love us, too
If only that baby got to be.
I love the little baby that was never able to smile
Never even able to survive.
And maybe that baby would have a life worth living
If only that baby was alive.
And maybe that baby had mommy's blue eyes
And daddy's smile, and grandma's tight hugs.
And honestly, there's no way to describe that little baby
And no way to describe the way it was loved.

I will only ever lie
When you ask me if I’m fine
Or if I like this life of mine.
If I had a gun,
I’d put it to my head
And turn bouncy blonde,
Into ruby red.
You want me to stop cutting;
I’ll stop when I’m dead.
The last time I’ll cut
Will be the last thing I see
When I finally put an end to me.
Dying sounds good right now,
Just fading into black
And never coming back
To the agony living brings.
Perhaps you’ll find me hanging,
Or bleeding,
Or after OD’ing;
Someday soon you’ll find me,
Finally free.
It’s too late now,
I’m too far gone.
Now I&rsquo

Thinking everything at once is slowly killing me...

Its better he's gone, feed your self that lie
Don't sit helplessly like a broken butterfly
You'll gain control through blood and knife
Etch it in, show your still alive
Make it fresh show your inner pain
Walk along the horrid memory lane
See it heal, watch it slowly fade
Let him go with the scars you made
Go to sleep with a heavy heart
Wish to be taken in from the dark
Nightmares creep in your head
Drown in self-drawn blood want to be dead
Awake the next day, hurt and torn
Same condition as the night before

Warmth at all,
Nothing to warm
The scarred soul....
Listening to the
Passing ticks of
Time pass by in
The circumference
Of the world.....
Scream shout
Till the light went
Out, only till eyes
Were to open up...
Mattered not nobody
To hear the perplexed
Cry’s out......
Hidden in darkness
With a faint light
To see, going off and
On whenever it pleased.....
Black and blue like
The remembrance of
The suppressed night sky.....
Not to think as a dream,
But a nightmare that’s ever
So real and is now just
A shattered memory in the
Mind.....
Filled With NothingsNothing is writtenFilled With Nothings6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Of the emptiness now
I have told you of sensations
But its different somehow
And we go through so much
But I can't stand to say
That I dont know if its felt
In a similar painful way
Because the ache in my chest
Is a pumping living heart
But if feels so broken
Like a swollen useless part
My mind is never clear
Yet nothing is ever thought
Emptiness overwhelms me
And its functions are left to rot
Even this sense of pain
Is as sharp as it could be
But dulled beyond recognition
Because my fake is even empty

I watch your back, keep you from stress

A razor is your savior
A drink calms your nerves
And maybe I am wrong, but
I give you what you deserve.
It will become too much for you
Let me have control, my dear...
We will switch, body exchange.
Let's face your fears
Give me control. Give me it all.
I will keep you. I will

To repeat the horrors until you beg for mercy
