You are more than a number, statistic or fraction,
You are more than a stranger’s glance or reaction.
You are more than a puzzle piece or a missing link,
You are more than what the world may think.
You are more than a stigma or sign which you're labeled,
You are more than “special”, diseased, different, disabled.
You are more than a whisper, you are more than a name,
You are more than rejection, you are more than others' blame.
You are more than vibrations that torture your ears,
You are more than disorder that drives you to tears.
You are more than emotion you can't read or display,
You are more than the words you’
I sit and listen quietly
To your gentle screams
No matter how hard you try
This is going to be a dream
No matter how hard you close your eyes
Or how quick you dry your tears
I'll come after you
I'll fill you with numerous fears
Running away won't help
Neither will trying to hid
Ill follow you wherever you go
And you'll come back to me with lies
You say it won't get out of hand
That you'll control it this time
But both of us know the truth
That you will never be fine
I'm the one you rely on
I'm the thing for you
You can't beat this fatal disease
You can't make it through
No matter how hard you try and deny it
You will n
Picture perfect
How thin can you go?
Up for a challenge?
Painful and slow.
Waiting it out
Obsessed with forbidden
Skip one more meal
Keeping secrets hidden
Insomnia increases
Watching seconds tick
Saying you're not hungry
Denying you're sick
Grinding teeth
Vision wavering
Tastes long forgotten
You're still savoring
Standing outside
Feels so cold
Approaching blackness
Then legs fold
Hospital bed
Haven't awoken
Tearing eyes
Lives are broken
“What’s on your arm? What’s on your thigh?”
I scratched myself, darling—but I will be fine.
“What’s on your wrist? And why do you cry?”
Oh, silly—they’re signals, they’re my warning signs.
“Why are there tears coming out from your eyes?”
They show that I’m breaking. My laugh’s a disguise.
“What’s on your forearm? What’s on your mind?”
I’ll be okay, darling.
I just wish to die.
Are You Done With Me...? by CourageoftheMagi, literature
Literature
Are You Done With Me...?
When you hurt, do you flee?
When you finally stop?
Are you done with me?
Scars blur with the fading day…
Lies you toss, slowly fade away…
A fading breathe, a torn mistake…
It hurts so bad…
Are you finally done with me?
Fade to black, within the reddish sea…
He stands up, just so he can smile at me…
A girl once innocent,
Now holds the hands of hope…
He always sees right through you…
A mix of red mingles his hands,
Like he’s hiding something from you…?
No waiting underneath the shade…
He’s spies your dying breathes…
He’s got one hand along your chin…
Will
If you've ever thought
That the grass is always greener
On the other side
You're not alone tonight
If you've ever feared
That the world could get meaner
Hidden from the light
You're not alone tonight
For a million souls still stand
Reached out with shattered hands
We are
The faceless
The nameless
But not forgotten
The fighters
And lovers
Sick of crawling
It's true that
We seek for
A hope befallen
To show us
A way back
From the dark
If you've ever thought
That all you do is grieving
And you're not alright
You're not alone tonight
If you've ever feared
That love is meant for leaving
Given into spite
You're not alone tonight
But a million
I like you
underneath the name
and bones that poke
like questions.
You sit too close to me,
knees remembering the spring
and making me ask
why you never let
my skin make yours
a memory.
I will find you again,
hunched over poetry
your eyes holding court
over what blooms
beneath.
Am I Human
If I can't feel why I'm here?
Am I Human
If I want to disappear?
Am I Human
If the light, it burns my skin?
Am I human
If I don't know right from sin?
There's a danger in me
This blatant stranger in me
And I can't fight
From what I can't hide
This fuckin' anger in me
And I've tried to pick up these pieces
Of the things that I've shattered
And the shards that I've lost
Were the things that really mattered
But too late did I realize
That I'd become so numb
That the glass of all my memories
Cut me till I succumbed
To the things that I hate most
Me, myself and I
That I'd become a ghost
Was I still human when I died?
Am I Human
If
