there has been a change in my vital signs
something inside my mind has declined
unwilling to further its investigation
finally uttering true devastation
do not put me on life support, a crutch
though my skin is cool to the touch
i believe i can hold on for a while longer
offer me a transfusion, make me stronger
or you could let me be, watch me float out to sea
bury me there in the deep
just a skeleton of who i used to be
churning in the celestial ocean
keeping an eye on my heartbeat's innermost motion
do you think there might be a magical potion
hidden in a subterranean cave beneath
hoping to find something in which to sink my teeth
holding my breath
diving possibly to my death
monsters of the depth follow my trail of blood
wishing to feed from my flesh, trying to drag me through the mud
black waters then envelope me
returned now to my home
freed from the darkness, no longer needing to roam
this is where i've longed to be, free
no evil doers here, just me
i need to speak my peace
a simple question, rescue me please
thought i could do it alone
i need your help one more time
place the tourniquet, make your pledge
keep me from my final hemorrhage
~~~~~
"He:[she] who writes in blood and aphorisms does not want to be read, he:[she] wants to be learned by heart."

when i look in the mirror
i never trust what i see
having trouble realizing me
told what to do, what to feel
where do i begin to find what is real
i said no, “you mean yes”
i guess
not so sure anymore
an uneven score
wanting more
do i deserve such
i feel i have been missing much
caught in a web of lies
unheard for years, my many cries
chains stay the course
do you think he feels remorse
overactive emotions
dysfunctional neurotransmitters
i’m not a quitter
not even bitter
i just need to know
how do i go
from here to there
care
self-distrust
do i matter much
it’s not a crutch
i’m struck
by a twist of fate
stalemate
maybe
someone help me
figure this out
untwist my brain
serotonin lost
my mood the cost
depressed
on a quest
to find my true mind
real emotions
presynaptic collapse
my body reacts
self-harm
moving to my arm
sound the alarm
imperfections now found
on my body’s sacred ground
tell me the truth
show me what to do
is this true
as tears drop
shocked
mediating tension
hand is wrenching
stainless steel
again appeals
to the theory of
invalidation

could you hit me
just once, leave a mark
split my sides
for the world to see
rather than fighting my mind
i succumb to the blind sides
of pain & agony
PLEASE
push me against the wall
make me fall, bleed
you invalidated me long ago
sowing seeds of insignificance
punch my clock
leave me to rot
confused by lies
i’d like to see you cry
innate emotional intelligence
this dance has broken my defense
i don’t know what to believe
about me
emotionally lost
my cost
tossed
minimized
killing my confidence
constantly paying penance
drained
soul raining
draining
“stop being so emotional”
my backbone no longer breaks with
stones thrown
knock me out, cold
tired of the toll
unheard, discounted
pressure mounted
nailed to the cross
you say you’re the boss
i now carry my weight
in an altered state
splintered
wintered
hit me, it’s all good
leave me like you should
bleeding
i won’t beg for my life
PLEASE
at least then
i have a chance
leave me for dead
~~~~~~
“Telling a person she shouldn't feel the way she does feel
is akin to telling water it shouldn't be wet,
grass it shouldn't be green, or rocks they shouldn't be hard.
Each person's feelings are real.
Whether we like or understand someone's feelings, they are still real.
Rejecting feelings is rejecting reality;
it is to fight nature and may be called a crime against nature,
"psychological murder" or "soul murder."
Considering that trying to fight feelings,
rather than accept them, is trying to fight all of nature,
you can see why it is so frustrating, draining and futile.”
~ S. Hein ~
