“I’m happy for you guys. That’s great that you two are happy together.” Janine wasn’t happy for them. She didn’t think it was great that they were together. It broke her into pieces that would take years to heal, but she didn’t know that. All she knew was that her heart had shattered and the ones responsible were walking away together hand in hand. The boy she had liked for years and the friend she had for just as long had just told her they were going out together. She hadn’t told either of them how she felt; afraid to express how she truly felt to anyone. Now those feelings lay in a puddle of
Why must he toy with me
He knows how I feel
Yet he messes around
Asking what I think of other girls
We sit down and have meaningful talks
Then he turns around and has another girl
Can't he see it's hurting me
He's going to lose me before he has me
Can't he just see me
For the amazing person I am
I'm smart, pretty, and cool, or so I'm told
My confidence falls when he ignores me
I want to be more then just friends
I want more then just that
I want to know if he feels the same
Can't he see that
Can't he see we're meant to be
Maybe we could be soulmates
Maybe I'm the rebound chick
Maybe I cry myself to sleep because of it
Is there a way to make
The wind flows through the fields around the valley
A storm is coming for the town
Based on the breeze and the temperature
It’s not far off
Not just a storm but a battle
The town won’t live through it
I’m fearful for what will come
The soldiers march with lightning behind them
Thunder is the beat they march to
Our few soldiers won't stand a chance
They come and make the ground red
After an hour the ground is now bleeding
All the men on my side are dead
I shed a tear and move on
The guards won’t let my go and look at my men
The grip marks on my arm flush red
I walk into the new castle, alone
Now more than ever
I see the
Don’t fall down the rabbit hole
Don’t fall down the rabbit hole
Whatever you do, don’t fall into
That pit of despair
That black hole of grief
That endless fall of self pity
That chasm of doubt
Don’t fall into it because once you do
You can’t escape
There are occasional ledges to land on
Brief places of relief
That will eventually crumble beneath you
Then you fall right back into the melancholy
You drive me crazy
You're on my mind every minute of the day
You never leave
I don't want you to leave
You're fun and I enjoy you
I give you everything I can
But you give me nothing in return
Please help me back
I can't help but think of you
You provide me with so much yet not what I want
You only help me mentally
That's also where you hurt me the most
I want to know you better
But you push me away
Can't we be together in harmony
Or will you continue to hurt
I don't show people my sadness
So I cry when no one is around
I put my makeup on perfect
So it can all run down
I dye my hair to be cool
Only to be laughed at
I wear clothes that cover me
Because they'll make fun of me
I can’t escape the ridicule
No matter where I run or what I do
It follows me everywhere
i just want to be free from judgement
While I wait for the walls of depression to close in on me, I ask myself
Which door should I have opened?
Which wrong turn did I take?
Was I wrong for coming in here in the first place?
I would like the answer to any of them
But I know that I can’t do anything about it
How far the walls move is always different
One day they are so close all I can do is curl into a ball
Other days they are so far away I have to run to touch them.
Most of the time though they move about an inch one way or another
I’ve seen glimpses of windows
Seen others enjoying their time
I just sit here writing, thinking about how I could have done better
The person who cares about me the most is no one
I reason I say this is because no one knows me
At least not the full me
I don't tell people all the things I like
Because I know they wouldn't accept it
I don't tell my parents about my depression
Because they would want to get me help
I don't tell my friends how much I want to die
Because it would make them sad
How can others love me when I don't even love myself
How can you know the full me when I don't know the full me
So I will continue to cry silent tears
Tears of not accepting myself
While I smile on the outside
Let people think they know me
That I'm not dying on the inside
That I'm as ha
There once was a girl
She sat on a seat by the window
While everyone one else wanted to hurl
She had found herself a beau
There on her window was a bug
She had meet him at dawn
She just wanted a hug
Everyone else wanted him gone
Then she asked him to prom
And he said yes
After that she felt calm
Now she needed a dress
But then something happened
He flew away
She was stunned
Her world turned grey
She cried after that
They tried to comfort her
They think he went splat
Now her life is a blur
Because she no longer has him
I have meet death
Every night he comes to see me
He takes me away
Not to the valley of death
But to dance
We spend the night in step
We do the dance of death
If I slip up he takes me
If he slips he becomes human
Another reaper will take his place
And if we end together
We stay the same
He goes back to work
I go home
We do the same thing each night
It won't end until someone messes up
We may be at this for a while
We don't want to mess up
We enjoy the dance to much
