“I can’t do this anymore.”
The words flow through my mind rapidly, repeatedly, and as I awake each morning, each night more restless than the last, I feel weak. I feel my pool of strength ran dry long ago and I am unable to create any more for myself, as the universe is unable to create energy, and I climb out of bed, weighed down by the pressure to not give up I set upon myself.
“No future, no love, no life.” The mantra created to distract my brain from giving up, shutting down from malnutrition, horrendous sleeping patterns, and the constant berating from myself, my parents, my teachers, everyone.
The fear of inadequacies and f...

Ransom Note Love Letters
no place no time
no life no love no light
free and easy
no air no thoughts
no start no sound no stop
free and easy
alone with you
free and easy
barely beating barely breathing barely here
free and easy
i think we get too caught up in the operation definitions and don't see everything that's really around us. like how there are only twenty six letters in the alphabet and eventually you'll run out of grains of sand to count. how every word used to define a word in the dictionary is defined by other words and you just end up in circles when you're going around the world. and the world is just some unimportant speck in the universe yet we all feel we're more important that everybody else. we hide behind our money and status and use them to try to ignore our mortality and somehow we forget to feel fallible. we forget that the only reason...
you feel ugly as the water leaks
leaving stains in the ceiling
as you wonder how you wound up here
miserable in a loveless life full of

and you vow that it's the last time you let it happen
that you'll leave tomorrow but tomorrow never comesin your dreams you hallucinate happiness
though you've never known what it is
and you hope that you'll be saved but you know what bullshit
all that knight-in-shining-armor stuff isso you sit on the floor in your now hardly furnished apartment

this is our perfection wasted
far past our one last chance
nothing is sound
nothing is static
nothing isn't nothing anymorethis is our perfection wasted
on an imperfectly imperfect world
the screams aren't sound
the screams aren't static
the screams aren't screams anymorethis is our perfection wasted
and the flowers cease to bloom
through the crackless concrete
and you cease to be beautiful
through the heartless world
beauty isn't sound

you are not luminous any longer

crying in the streets and you
walk past the broken hearts

You'll Never Be Perfect
"You should eat."
I hate those words. They think I don't know when I should eat.
I know it all perfectly well, I just decide not to.I know I should eat a great deal more than I do. Considering my low blood sugar and possible anemia.
They don't understand. How could they? "I don't have a problem," I repeat, "I'm not anorexic. I eat."
I do eat. I know I don't eat enough. In my deformed mind the food that barely sustains my existence is much more than I need.
It doesn't mean I have a problem. I don't have a problem. It can't happen to me. It isn't possible. Spiraling out of control isn't my style anymore. I know what I'm doing.I s...

What made you do this?
A lot of people say they hate hospitals. They smell and feel like death.
I hate hospitals. To me, they smell and feel like pain.I can't even comprehend the pain I should have been in that night, drowned out by an overwhelming feeling of nothingness. Liquid charcoal. I couldn't believe people come up with such things. I couldn't believe anything. I couldn't believe I let myself get so out of control.
"It helps absorb toxins in your liver.", I overheard the nurse say.
Sitting there. Pretending to feel strong enough. Pleading with my father, "How long until I can go home?"
Liquid charcoal is perhaps the most disgusting thing in th...

You'll Think I'm Beautiful
See me starve myself baby?
I do it all for you.
Because maybe, one day
you'll think i'm beautiful.
If I were
thinner
smarter
prettier
better ...
Because I'm not good enough.
I'll never be good enough.
But I keep hoping that maybe, one day
you'll realize how amazing I am
on the inside.
If only I was better on the outside.
"Why don't you just come over?"
It's amazing how those six simple words have changed my life forever.I was "in love".
As "in love" as you can be at thirteen.
But what the fuck do I know about love...Sitting on a bed, making out.
"Wanna get high?", he asks.
I roll my eyes, "And destroy my repuation by becoming intoxicated? Oh, my Heavens, no."
Reputation my ass. For what? Skipping school and failing classes?
He seems to get angry, and for what, some innocent sarcasm? What an ass.We continue our makeout session.
His hand goes up my shirt.
Pulling away, angry, I yell, "What the fuck do you think you're doing!"

It's up on the bridge
And it's locked in a cage
And it's trapped underwater
And it's oh God
Oh God
There's a figure
It's OH GOD
It's coming towards us!
Sometimes I pretend to be afraid
So I can get their attention
Or I can show them I'm human
But sometimes
I guess mosttimes
Sometimes...
I pretend to be afraid so I can
Show them I'm still a girlOnly girls are afraid of the dark
And only girls are afraid to be up high
Only girls would pretend to be afraid
Just to show they're still
A girl
