Skin

My skin grows to tight for my bones

Every inch, every dent, every curve is bone

My skin is like latex

My skin is like rubber

I can’t break free

No title

Im trying my hardest.

But these walls are closing in

My box is becoming smaller

I comfort others

But never myself

What did I do wrong

I followed the handbook

Yet this box is making it hard to breathe

Please help me

Please save me

What have I don’t wrong?

I haven’t broken a rule

I haven’t broken a heart

I’m trying my best to be honest

I still can’t breathe

I have no title

But other labels float above my head

Please help

My box is to small

My words are over flowing

No one’s here

…

My box has Bronx to small

It feels like I don’t fit in my own skin

I shout for help yet the echo is defanging

I hate this

I hate who I am

I’m trying my best

But this label never goes away

My box
Is
To
Small

Words hurt

Sticks and stones break bones.

Words and feelings shatter my heart.

It’s like a poet with a whip like tongue.

You lash me with your words and I stagger back.

Begging for the ground to swallow me whole.

Words hurt.

Words are hidden behind sweet tones and kind voices.

But underneath they are *****, derogatory, and filthy.

Don’t call a woman a w—re just because you think it’s funny.

Don’t call a man a f-gg-t just because he has a different clothing style and doesn’t dress masculine.

Words cut deeper than sticks and stones could ever.

Words. Hurt

Words will hurt. I’ve nearly lost two friends to suicide because they were bullied and called derogatory words and slurs. My friends have found professional help and are doing better.

“It’s only a joke”

If it’s only a joke why does it sting?

If it’s only a joke why do you make it personal?

A joke shouldn’t be something used as a hateful thing.

Jokes are supposed to be something we can look back on and laugh at;

Not be ashamed because we were made insecure by a few words.

Make it make sense

Jokes are supposed to be lighthearted and something for a laugh.

Not to make people feel ashamed.

“Oh! Remember when you started-“
It’s not a joke.

We’re not laughing.

But you are.

It’s not a joke so stop saying it after an insult because it’s not a joke.

Idk just inspired off of a video I seen and wanted to make my own. Don’t remember the girl that made the poem sadly.

I hope this finds you well

I will never cheat on someone
They don’t deserve it
No one does
They don’t deserve to stay up all night
Sobbing
Crying
Sick to their stomach
Wondering why their enough
They could be a horrible person
But I stand by this
I
Will
Never
Cheat

Happened to me. I won’t cheat, never will, never will think about it. They can cheat, let them. It’s their loss <3

Again & Again

Again
I’d do it all again.
Drag the blade across my wrist
Watch the blood seep into the white sheets
It dosent hurt
It’s a high
An addiction
.
It’s been a year
I’m better
Please don’t take it away
I don’t know what to do with my emotions
I’ve been educated in things I shouldn’t since I was 10
But don’t take this
I need this
I can’t handle it
I’d do it
Again & Again
Again & Again
Again & Again
It won’t get too bad
Right

Self harm is no joke. Take this seriously. Mental health is no joke. Emotions are not jokes.
Don’t express them without being diagnosed or dealing with self harm

You only live once

I can’t speak
I can’t stand up to them
I’m small
I’m a doll
I’m quiet
I’m weird
I have no words.
Because I don’t exist
People look down on me
They make fun of me.
But
You only live once
Wear what you want, live your teen years
Sneak out, lie, but don’t ruin me
You bully me
I take it like a wall
Because I have no words
But there’s so much to say
I can’t express it
I have no words
It’s almost a question
I used to talk so much
But now
I have no words.
