ScaredI'm just so scaredScared by ~SelfOutcast
to touch happiness
only to have it
taken away again
maybe that is why
I push everyone away
and maybe that's why
I'm so guarded
but I don't think
I can even touch it
without love
and I don't know
how to love
at all
You say this?There's a reason why you forgot about meYou say this? by ~SelfOutcast
maybe it was the way
I was never okay
or how
my hair was always messy
my eyes was always heavy
perhaps how
my thoughts were usually jumbled or
other people interested you
and you didn't know what to do
it could be how
I cared too much
and maybe I still care
too much
ThousandsIf you ever should change your mindThousands by ~SelfOutcast
I will still love you
if you ever change your mind and
love me too.
Pick me up gently
for your hands have made me
fragile.
Hold me to your chest and whisper,
because angry words will shatter me
and sad ones will pull me apart
till there is nothing left.
Your eyes have stripped away
all my defenses.
So don't tell me I'm beautiful
unless you mean it.
Take my hand and never let it go
because if you do,
I am afraid I will fall.
Hold my heart in your hands
to steady its beating; I cannot
take care of it myself.
For you have made me weak
and you have made me strong.
If you ever should change your mind,
even
Therapists, I don't like their taste.i.Therapists, I don't like their taste. by ~DearPoetry
in 7th grade
i didn’t know depression
until she told me her name,
carving forever scratches
along my limbs like
little love notes on the bark
of a tree.
she stole my rings
and left me hollow.
ii.
i had only ever met anxiety
in passing, until one day
he handed me power and told me
to hurt someone else with it.
iii.
inexperienced,
with an uncontrollable
quivering in my fingers,
he whispered, “ to survive,
you must learn quickly.”
as i shoved the bevel of a needle
into a strangers arm.
iv.
so, if a therapist
could talk away my scars
like iodine disinfects,
guide the ships
through
Sta.sh
and watch!
