(2013)
I’m like a broken plate That you threw on the ground Because you were upset But no matter what you do You can never fix it
In the morning wake And breathe fresh air To distract my thoughts From a recent nightmare Then go through processes
The air conditioner blows On high And the sound Reminds me of small monsters. A clattering starts
I want to be the one You tell your problems to, Because no one else seems to liste… I want to be the one Who understands you,
I want to try The simple cut Not a cry for help But a physical release From the prison
Walking talking depression Who’s too big around the waist Saying you’re messed up But what I’ll never understand Is how you think that you’re
I put in my headphones To listen to songs And I listen to sad things Which tend to make me cry And I listen to screaming
Sometimes I feel myself Willing to cry And sad over nothing I can remember That would make me upset
I walk through rivers, valleys, fo… Exploring all my thoughts Dreaming peacefully Things made up and memories Talking to friends and enemies
Long thin lines Across skin Placed there Upon day’s end Old ones pink
People walk Down the streets, Seeming happy As can be, Or maybe sad,
My sudden bursts Of depression Are like a typhoon Flooding a small island Or a hurricane
I pretend I know everything, Or that I can do anything, But I don’t, And I can’t. Sure I may act
Sitting on the bed And sometimes laying down The chill from the AC Is too uncomfortable I recoil from the breeze
In my ear, Ana whispers And tells me just Be thinner, dear But I fear
