#poetry is my therapy

[living-dead-girl515]

Hey let's go for a walk

We can talk

Or not

Walk away from that pain

Let's see what you can gain

Even just for the day

Moth follows the Moon's illuminations Craving-seeking a soul with the same markings, the same reflective scales, the same dark thoughts and desire to rise above

But the string holds the light much too high in the sky and its beating-flapping wings are much too small to reach the right peaks—high enough to see the whole world's secrets

so Moth follows the globular cycle above deep waters full of monsters, unable of letting its strength falter, Forever chasing a rival worthy of combating these night-seas

Reminder,

that if you want to be

exceptional,

you're going to be different

from everyone else.

That's what makes you exceptional,

you can't fit in, and also be exceptional.

Both have discomfort.

When you fit in, you have internal conflict,

because you're not being yourself, truly yourself.

When you're exceptional, you have external conflict,

because everyone sees you as different.

Pick one.

When your friends start to say,

"you've changed"

remember, it's because they don't know how to say,

"you've grown"...

April is National Poetry Month, 30 days of celebrating the joy, expressiveness, and pure delight of poetry.

The heart’s a heavy burden,

and you’re gonna carry that weight a long time.

Better to exchange hearts with each other,

as another’s burden never weighs as heavy as your own, and love makes a heart all the lighter.

i've washed my hands what seems to be a thousand times, scrubbing every imperfection off my skin. as the ink that stains my hands slowly starts to fade away, i imagine pieces of my insecurities washing away with it. the water feels cold; unknown. i scrub, rub, scrub, waiting for something to happen: anything. i rub, scrub, rub, begging for something to occur. i beg for a solution: on my knees; never on my feet. i scream, i scream, i scream, but i am left unheard. for what is an imperfection against unknowingness?

No

Seems like such a simple thing right?

No thank you

Not right now

I don't want to

I can't

No

There are so many ways to say it

You'd think it would be easy

It's just a word

Its just a sentence

Just say no...

But when you grow up feeling

As if no is a bullet

And your mouth is a gun

When you grow up feeling

Like no is the first domino

And each boundary knocks another one down

When you grow up feeling

Like their mental health

Outweighs yours

And you must do everything you can

To keep them alive and safe...

No

Is the hardest word to learn

As a child you are everything they want you to be

You bend and break to their wishes

You are terrified to leave their side

Because you think they won't survive without you

As a child you learn its okay to be codependent

You learn guilt and fear and anxiety

You never get angry

You never overshadow anybody elses problems with yours

You can suffer alone you're fine

You know how to take care of you...

Because you have to take care of you...

As a teenager you struggle

You struggle with depression, anxiety and loneliness

You put all your energy into "fixing" other people

You shove all your problems into this task

The more you help everybody else

The less you think about wanting to die

You get used to falling asleep with the tv on

To drown out the fear.

As an adult you are what we call a people pleaser

You will go out of your way to make others happy

Even when it hurts you

You don't know how to say no to people

And it causes you to hate yourself from time to time

You are constantly afraid you've said the wrong thing

Or done the wrong thing or acted the wrong way

You will ask your partner if they are mad at you

10 times in one day

Just in case

Because what if you make them so mad...

They kill themselves...

What if you say no

And they don't want you anymore...

Yes feels safer

No seems like such a simple thing right?

No thank you

Not right now

I don't want to

I can't

No

It should be simple

And yet

I am still learning

[living-dead-girl515]

I keep searching for the red flag

They all swear I'm missing something

But maybe it's not there

Maybe it's just that you make me

Not want to be alone

Like I thought I needed to be

Why do I trust you so?

You're someone I barely know

But they don't see what I see

Growing up

Where did all the years go?

when did we grow up?

How did we go from?...

Being excited for birthdays/being ourselves doing silly things/not being afraid of being judged by other people/tiring yourself from playing/loving your family/talking to random people and things/smiling and laughing all the day/going to shops secretly/making potions out of shampoos/imagining things creatively/having lots of energy and motivation/happily existing and having fun

To...

Not wanting to grow up/being anxious about being ourselves/being afraid of judgement/not wanting to get out of bed/not wanting to live with your family/not being able to interact with people/faking smiles every day/covering scars/having suicidal thoughts/having little to no energy and motivation/losing interest in things we enjoyed/ questioning our existence?

[crystaletters]

books, fairies, castles, oceans, dressed in elegant corsets, being seduced by a vampire, gazing at the stars in some high tower, riding a horse with long hair flying, hearing that they love me enough to give their soul for me, dancing in the light of every full moon, practicing spells on mountains facing the sea under a huge bonfire. these are just some of my wishes.

I want to-

imagine a day of isolation in luxury,

give the spine to my vanilla stories,

chase scents in theatres, steal smiles in grocery stores,

create chaos and see

What it's like to not cuff yourself to the fence with soot,

And write at ungodly hours while the meal

remains untouched till dusk.

🍯POT OF HONEY 🍯

MMMM… SO YUMMY , YET SO SWEET

FINGER LICKIN GOOD GOLDEN TREAT

IT’S EVERYONES DREAM &&—- DESIRE AND WISH TO TASTE A POT OF HONEY

IT’S GOLD WITH FLOWING MOTIONS

A TASTE THAT SOOTHES && WARMS YOUR THROAT AS IT MAKES IT’S WAY IN

THE TASTE ENTICES THE TONGUE

MUST HAVE A SENSE FOR IT’S SWEETNESS ,BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW THE TRUE SWEETNESS UNTIL YOU’VE HAD AN ACTUAL REAL TASTE

THE TASTE AND GLIMPSE MAKES LIFE BETTER

-PoeticxBrii

When you read this poem you have to have an open mind. Read between the lines
