Guns.

We raise our boys the same way we raise our guns.
Somehow we are confused when they grow up to be rifles.

Stained Glass Mar 2019
Innocence is what prisons the past and eventually if flies away leaving only a feather
If only I could learn to tame my tides, rinse the past and outrun the weather
The inevitable is coming and just like school you can't avoid and among the wild berries there's an imposter, this is why his ribs were caged in because he was an angel born in a monster
Not everyone can remember who they were before the world told them who they should be
As my body sinks under the waves my smile says,
"I am F R E E"

Too often...numb.
Stained Glass Feb 2020
She felt like crying but nothing came out. It was just a sort of sad sicknees, sick sad, when you can't feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. But I think I have known it pretty often, too often.

because at the end, they are my dreams.
Dreams show what the heart wants most,
and whenever I close my eyes
I see you.

Twisted:
Stained Glass Apr 2020
is
when you have a persistent sense of heartbreak and gut-wrench, the physical sensations become intolerable and you will do anything to make those feelings disappear. And that is really the origin of what happens in human pathology. People take drugs to make it disappear, and they cut themselves to make it disappear, and they starve themselves to make it disappear, and they have *** with anyone who comes along to make it disappear, and once you have these horrible sensations in your body, you'll do anything to make it go away.'

"My parents checked my grades,
Not my mental health
My parents told me I could talk to them
They didn't tell me what I could talk to them about,
My parents said they care,
They never said what they cared about
My parents said they love me
They never said which me."

Stained Glass Sep 2019
"The dead weight of your legs from sleeping pills,
the dizziness from the alcohol,
the soft throbbing of your pulse as blood is pumped out your wrists?

That's it.
That's what we've been waiting for, that's the quiet comfort.

The beauty of dying."

Exhausted.
Stained Glass Mar 2020
Being a survivor of emotional abuse is fighting daily battles in your head with a person you no longer have contact with.
#Mental abuse is much more painful than physical abuse because you are consumed by your own thoughts. I think that after being hurt so many times I created a shield where I don't allow anyone to get close to me. I love being friends with people and I enjoy having friends. But, to be close friends with someone for a lifetime and to share each other's secrets, wants, needs, etc. sounds like a complete nightmare. If I had one wish that could be granted it would be for me to have never been born. My ultimate wish is for the all the people who have met me to unmeet me. Then I wouldn't be such a burden on anyone. I no longer wish to die, I wish to have never been born. If I had the power to turn back everything I would give my parents a better child and give my friends a better person.

Instead, I thought that maybe I deserve it.
