More Ways Than One (TW for self-injury)

I’ve been finding
New ways
And it’s scaring me
So much,
For I can harm myself
In more ways than
I ever knew before;
I’m so afraid
Of myself now.
These new ways
To hurt

So bad

With Each Lash (MAJOR TW for self-injury)

I drive away
The pain
With every stroke
Of my
Soothing instrument;
I comfort my misery
With each time
I drag that
Coping skill
Across my waiting skin.
I satisfy my hunger
For blood
With every time
I score that
Gleaming object

Forgetting Me (TW for mention of su!c!de)

The me I once knew

Betrayed by the world,
So she left the earth
To take her place
In the sky.
The me I once knew

For others stole her heart
And gave it back
With pieces missing
And showing the darkness

A Lying Disclaimer (TW for self-injury)

I am no longer harming
And I’m so proud
Yet I'm still regretting it

Back in my early,
Dark and depressing days,

Of addiction.

Protect Me Lord

The world is a war zone.
Above the clouds
Is my shepherd.
Down below is my enemy,
Full of hatred for everyone
And everything,
So, God above,
Protect me

I'll Be There for You

Sometimes life can
Get you down,
And when no one else
Is around to help you out,
I find you
And you find me.
We will always be
Together like this.
I will always be here
For you,
When you’re feeling
All alone,
I’ll be right there

Guardian Angel

I’ll be your
Guardian angel
Who watches over you
As you sleep,
Who sends you
Peaceful dreams
In hearts and
Air-kisses
That land on your cheeks
And make you smile.
The nightmares
Tremble and flee
In terror from my presence
Because I just...

Don't Leave Me Alone

Please don’t go,
Please stay here,
You don’t know what
Happens when I’m
Alone.
When I have time to think,
I think such things
That bring me down
And crush me
Until I’m crying
And my pillow
Is soaked.
Please stay here,
Please,

A Different Kind of Love

I love you even
Though you’re not mine,
I love you
With a love
That’s different
Than love,
I don’t love you
Like I love someone else,
But I still
Love you
And I want to make
You feel happy,
But it’s okay
If someone
Else makes

Pain From a Loss

When I think about how
you’re gone
forever,
I cry and weep,
Not wanting anything else
But for you to
Hold me
In your soothing,
Comforting arms,
And sing me to sleep.
When I hear your
Graceful,
Soothing voice
Singing to me,
I let the...

Sad Days

Some days I just have
That faraway stare,
I just stare into space,
And let my mind wander aimlessly.
For when you feel sad you can’t help
But wonder how you can go on.
And I feel like
Nothing really matters
On those sad days,
When I just...

Duct Tape

Sometimes I wish that I
could close my mouth with duct tape,
though it never works.
I always end up regretting some words
that I wish I could just take back,
but my words just spread all around...

Yearning

I try not to cry
But the tears fall anyway,
I’m dying inside
Because I can’t tell you anything,
I try not to cry,
When I stare at you,
Knowing that I’m just alone,
Knowing that it’s never fair
When you’ve accidentally
Fallen in...

Misery

When will I die?
When will this end?
When will I become free?
When will these thoughts leave?
When will my life get better?
When will I get over my past?
When will my eyes stop shedding tears?
When will my heart beat normally again?

Knowledge Brings Pain

You think you know love,
Do you?
You think you’re so humorous,
Do you?
You think you can play with a girl’s feelings,
Do you?
You think you’re that funny,
Do you?
You don’t even know what I’m feeling,
Do you?
You think feelings are meant...

Why? (TW for mention of self-injury)

What have I done?
Why have I done this?
I was so stupid
For thinking
That I could actually
Win this war.
But I’m a loser,
I’m a jerk,
For breaking promises
I made
To those who care,
And how can I tell them all
That I’ve broken the vows...

Struggle

My life is ebbing slowly away,
I cannot stop the hurt,
Ibuprofen can only heal so much pain,
And even though it’s a pain reliever,
It’s not strong enough
To heal this pain inside.
I’m trying to hang on
And stay strong,
But it’s so hard

Like Death Passed Through

Our life together is no more,
It’s like you died
An invisible death,
That only you and I know,
Your death began
When I first noticed
That you weren’t acting like yourself,
Then I found out
You were with someone else,
It was like a little...

The torture I receive each day.
I cannot deal with
Being treated so terribly.
I cannot deal with
My life right now,
So I slam the door
And lock myself

Can't Feel You Near

Draw me close O Lord,
I pray to the Heavens above,
I need to feel you near,
As I’m

In the waves
In the storms of life,
Hear me out O Lord,
I cry to the darkened sky,
Hear me and don’t ignore me,
My life is in peril,

Something Missing

I wish I could always
Be able to hold on to a hope
When life has got me down.
But for me,
There’s always
Something missing in my life,
But I don’t know what.
So, if you would,
Could someone please
Tell me where
My hope is...

Those Good Old Days

I remember
Those good old days,
When we would love like no other,
When we would tease and laugh,
Smile and giggle,
And life was just okay.
I remember
When we were doing alright.
When I cried,
You’d always be there
To hold me

Sorry

I tried so hard,

Cause for what I did,

Sometimes in life,
There is death,
And sometimes in life,
Life can turn into a tragedy,
But within this grief,
There is happiness and hope,
For there’s a better place
For our lost and loved ones,
Sometimes in life,
Tragedy can strike,

The One Who Perseveres

There is a girl of about sixteen years,
In theatre she is, beating her stage fears.
If she is truthful, some days of her life,
She fights against herself in quite a strife.
She has never-ending, heavy issues,
In which past times her coping...

Lost Childhood (TW for SA and mentions of self-injury and su!c!de)

A girl of an age so young,
Whose fate had been decided before it was done.

There came a friend of hers, a little boy
But soon she found he would not bring her joy.
They were neighbors, a relationship of no harm,
Before he, a victim himself,...

Only younger than her?
Of course, he’s not the victim here; neither of us were.
We were just innocent children gone wrong.
