(sry power went out and spring break but I'm back now)

If I showed you my scars
would you call me a freak
and say that I'm selfish and weak

Or would silently back away
not really understanding or knowing what to say

Or would be the one
the one to actually stay
and sit with me until everything felt okay
((kinda short my apologizes

This is so good!!!!!

@belle-elaine

You said you would stay by my side
that you wouldn't leave
time after time

But here we are today
or should I say
were not
you're over there with your new friends
your normal friends

You keep sending me cautious looks
not saying a thing
but still saying everything
"I'm sorry, I lied,
you knew this is what would happen right,
you didn't think I would actually stay,
But were still friends okay,"

and most of all
"please don't come over here!"

Don't worry I won't

@Periwinkle_

Have you guys heard that song Die Trying by Michl? I know its like 3 years old but the lyrics to that song are pure gold.

Change

People change.
This is proven.
I do not understand this -
Shouldn’t you be happy with the way that you are?
Is your desire for something more too strong?
I want to tell you how much I hate this new thing that replaced you
But I cannot bring myself to
Because this monster - behind it
Is still you.

(I has plans to turn this into a song, so 'hah' is just like a sound not a line, so just ignore it) (bit personal, bit confusing, but hope you like it)

Hah
When golden sunlight poured through windows
When the hum of lawn mowers vibrated the distance
When winter never came too close
And spring breezes still filled the air

Hah ah ah
Hah ah ah
Last summer I didn't cry, din't choke, didn't lie
Last summer I knew, always breathed, always flew
Hah ah ah
Take me back to life

Hah
When graying moonlight brought forth shadows
When screaming began in the basement
When I tried to use Kleenexes to stop the flow
That came from the closet and under the bed

Hah ah ah
Hah ah ah
Last winter I didn't prove, didn't talk, didn't move
Last winter I wept, always thought, always slept
And now?

(second one I wrote today, angry)

Will you still be smiling when it all comes crashing down?
Will you still be laughing when I walk out of this town?
Wrap your hands around my neck
Choke the life out of me
I don't care, just try and see
That I'm already dead
Will the world keep turning for you when I'm goine?
Will you still be getting up at dawn?
Break down the door, shake my shoulders
Pull off the blankets, call for me
It won't work, I'm not asleep
I'm already dead
Will the questions ever stop?
Will I ever feel a drop?
Tell me everything's going to turn out right, tell me everything's going to be just fine
Just please, please, please say someone's coming for me
I don't know, I've been waiting for so long
That I'm already dead

When I read those “ha”s, I couldn’t help but think of:
“You thought it was over

HAH

@Bandito

Door agaping, mouth shut tight
Hold still in bed, you turn on the light
Don't make a sound, sticky feet on wood
Approaching, then leaving, I'd cry if I could

Some people say um, some people say like
But there's nothing to fill in the gaps in my psych(e)
I'm running, you're snoring, I'm breathing my silence
It chokes me, disturbs me, it's causing the violence

It's okay, I'm fine
I know, I'm just tired
Some things take a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time

Lead streaks down the blade of my souvenir knife
A replacement for blood, pencils can save a life
I had a normal day, but why can't you see
That normal for you is not normal for me?

Maybe if you thought, you'd finally figure out
Why we don't ever say what our songs are about
But for now I, the mystery, lay me down to rest
And I put on the headphones, such a cold, quiet mess

Damn. That's really really good. when I read it I couldn't help but rap it it my head

@hollow-boned

this is definitely not my best but here it is ig

-

Don’t forget boas suffocate their victims to death.



I guess there is irony

In the way they carved their quips and questions

On the inside of my throat.

I took their bullets, I gave them my love,

I gave them shining laughter

And golden skin, dressed solely in sunlight.

Mea culpa, mea culpa.

I never unlearn to love someone,

Not even when it’s necessary

For my own well-being.

No matter, no matter.

Someday soon, they’ll touch my back with the tip of their knife

And they’ll find I bite

For pleasure

In more than one case. In more than one way.

They’ll reach to twist the soul in its ribcage

And find a bear trap set there

Purely out of rage, in feral,

Calculated bloodlust.

They thought me a mouse, I am a snake;

They thought me summer rain, I am hail.

There is one basic rule their mothers must’ve never taught them:

When you want to strike first,

Do not risk being gentle.

Don’t you rest until your enemy has nothing left -

Declaw, defang, take out their poison;

Be relentless, for your own sake.

Don’t forget a single weapon in their arsenal -

You’ll regret it for the rest of your days.

@AloeVera groupMentallyImInACottage

This was inspired by a dream i had recently! One of the lines was something I said to my Dream-Kid that I had (i don't have kids) bc I died shortly after he was born (don't ask, that wasn't even the weirdest part of the dream)

I know you've only been here for a month and three days
But there's come a time when I will be going away
And I know the world ahead of you has a lot to take in
But I promise you that you will never be forsaken

I've dissipated and I'm faded, I'm empty and hollow
But do not be afraid of the future to follow
Maybe I'll become a ghost in the dark, my spirit passing through your shadow
But maybe that's for losers like me, never hallowed

But, dear you are mine and you will always possess that title
Even if I never see you reading your Bible
Don't be afraid of yesterday 'cause you're going through a trial
So stand steadfast and forget your past, look ahead at your revival.
