Never Enough

The days are going by
and so am I
I am getting weaker
and the cuts are getting deeper
my family doesn’t care
I'm just a burden for them to bear
they'll be happy when I die
they'll laugh and say 'if only sooner'
I know that I don’t belong
cuz no one cares
and I cant cry
I feel like it
but its not possible
if only the tears would come
people lie all the time
and their biggest crime
is when they say
that they do care
cuz I know its not true
cuz nobody does
hey just wanna see you dead
gone in your eternal bed
and I am so
angry and sad
it doesn’t matter how deep I cut
cuz its never deep enough
Cutting Board

I am a cutting board
ugly and obscure
cuts showing the pain
hat I must endure
These crazy strange thoughts
that fill my head
walking alone through the halls
my heart filled with dread
his words pierced my heat
killing all hope
that maybe one day
id know how to cope
don’t tell me it never happened
don’t look at me with disgust
I need to tell my stories
to you, whom I trust
you tell me I'm crazy
you look at me like I'm nuts
just because I cannot cry
just because of my cuts
ill always be miserable
I've come to that conclusion
until I find a way to die
cuts will be my solution
Why?

Why is it that I want to die
why is it that I can’t cry
why do you just pass me by?
Why is my knife my only friend
why am I always hurting in the end
why won’t reality bend?
Why are you so glad
why am I so sad?
Why must I feel so bad?
Why must we have reality
why cant I climb that tree
why is it that I must be?
Why do you act like a queen
why must you be so mean
why cant you see me as a human being?
Why do you try to hurt me
why is it you cant see
why I hurt internally?
Why can't it be okay
why cant I smile through the day
why must I be gay?
To Be Free

Oh how I wish
that I could be
a bird
flying free
but instead
I'm in pain
where there is no
wisdom to gain
crying inside
plastered smiles
walking alone
all these miles
the things they say
the things they do
it hurts so much
they never knew
broken spirits
wounded hears
all if it
torn to parts
Blame

Crying endlessly
my tears are red
never clear
for they are bled
flowing freely
falling in shame
looking for no one
else to blame
Afraid Of Myself

All I wanna do is die
I'm trying hard to cry
the tears are hear
but will not fall
all I wanna do is die
I'm so lonely
and so scared
so used
so alone
in so much pain
that I cant bear
nobody cares
please help me
you know who you are
I need you now
if I ever did
it was not this urgent
I'm afraid of me
Artist

My knife will be my brush
and my flesh will be my canvas
my blood will be my paint
and my bones will be my easel
ill draw and draw and draw
until the pain goes away
ill make that red river flow
until my troubles disappear
a tear shall never
stain my cheek
nor shall a whimper
escape my lip
I will not complain
I will not plead
I will only cut
I will only bleed
let blood flow feely
let it be the cure
let it be the cleanser
of my tortured soul
I will remain strong
I will remain silent
I will remain trustworthy
I will remain reliant
I am a shadow
that goes unnoticed
I am a child lost in the wild
I am not a mother
but loving and warm
I am not a father
but gentle and sweet
One More Girl Passed, How Sad

She’s not quite sure how she’s feeling.
And she’s not quite sure what’s up.
But she knows her ship is pitching and heaving.
Just like the emotions in her head
it’s raining outside.
Is someone crying for me?
I shook her head
I'm sorry, but no, no one cares for you
why, oh, why?!?
The tears streamed down
she lied, I cried
its nothing more than fate
the cuts on her legs
were deep and beautiful
or so she thought
till they scared
what shall I do
she cried out loud
its ugly and pitiful
I just cant go on
you can
you must
said they,
the rest
ill feel guilty
it'd be my fault
no! Just go away
I want to die
stop caring my life’s
not
worth living
look at her
she’s a dyke
a social outcast
I declare
she’s queer
she’s weird
she must
be on drugs
purple?, blue?
Pink?, or green?
What color
will it be?
She cut herself up
like a human cutting board
with her knife
she did the honors
when can I next cut?
And why?
The questions flashed
and the days passed by
still no sign of hope
cutting and burning
the only way
to cope
it’s not good enough!
I cant feel the pain
so the cuts got deeper
and closer to a vein
the more she bleed
the deeper the satisfaction
until one day
when she just fled
its no wonder
she was abused
harassed at school
but nobody knew
and soon one desk
was removed
a moment of silence
the loud speaker said
let us remember her
let her be an example
of that what is done
has its own consequences
the boys just smirked
the girls just laughed
the teacher shook
their sorry little heads
and so everyone’s life went on
just like it always had
till one more girl
passed, how sad
Tortured Kindred

Sadness
lurks within
my tortured soul
my only kin.
Crying for love
but without tears
crimson red
be my tears
crying internally
nothing shows
this is how
my life goes
happiness...
I have never known
I search for it
casting stones
I fall asleep
wondering how
someone can live
hurting others
High And Low

Now I’m sad and depressed
and I feel really oppressed
hopelessness and despair begin to fill my mind
as I struggle to see the path I’m trying to find
I’ve put scars on my skin
I've hurt those to whom I’m akin
why? Why me?
I ask, trying to see
what made me deserve this?
For its far from any bliss
this wretched state
to which id rather not relate
but here I am
not happy as a clam
I’m stuck like this a lot
mostly cuz its all I got
although I wish it was my time to go
its not, so life goes on, high and low
Blossom And Unfold

I have been given a renewed hope
and I’m learning how to cope
I now know that I belong
and this belief has made me strong
I’m thankful for all my friends who've helped me
recover from being lost, for now I’m free to see
as I struggled to find my way
you helped me through, day be day
you all have given me courage
to put bad memories away, in storage
for this is where they belong
cuz they made me not-so-strong
I see it now there is a light
and it is shining bright
as I begin to blossom and unfold
this inner self has made me bold
I shall struggle with life no longer
cuz this has mead me so much stronger
A Simple Tears Life

A simple tears life
I well up in her eye
as she holds me back
she’s scarred to cry
willing me not to fall
her body shakes and trembles
she pinches her nose and looks up
hurt by what I resemble
never looking back
it hurts her so deep
I want to run down
I really need to seep
down her left cheek
the pressures building
the need is growing
she is never willing
to cry a simple tear
I live my life
always being fought back
when she called a dyke
and when she cuts
I am a simple tear
rolling down her face
betrayed by one held dear
it is me who she despises
I feel not real
I am but invisible
by the alter she kneels
in her blood red dress
her nails painted black
her hair streaked colors
black-and-blue from a smack
she received just before
she wipes me away
simply and quickly
I must never show during day
night is my time
and I am replaced by a red
not so transparent tear
