Can You Hear Me?


I'm calling out,
but nobody hears me.
Is anyone there?
Does anyone care?

Tears streaming down 
my face, I can't do this
anymore. I just want
to be normal.

I want parents that 
don't leave. I want 
friends who care.
I want to be happy.

Red lines trace over
my wrist. I'm sorry,
I couldn't stop myself.
I needed it.

Dark circles hang
under my eyes. I haven't 
slept in days, My thoughts
keep me awake.

The tears stop coming.
I'm not sad anymore,
just numb. This is worse 
than sadness, though.

My throat is raw
from the crying and 
calling. I eventually stop
calling. Nobody's coming.

The tears stop, 
the calling out stopped, 
everything stopped. 
I gave up.

The Grey

Why must people always have to be either good or bad? What if I was a good girl with bad tendencies or a bad girl who did good things? Must things always be placed in little boxes? What about those who do not fit into any box? What happens to them?

Turmoil of Lack of You

Do you remember that day the sun didn't shine, the birds didn't sing, And poison rained  from the sky? That was the day  you wouldn't talk to me. 

And I'd Burn It Down Again

You built a house out of the bad thoughts rushing through your head and I tried to burn it down but you got caught in the flames. If it’s any consolation, I like the way you look with the tips of your hair singed off. I’m sorry your mother won’t.
