Side Effect




Stay up for hours, I'll thank the front of my brain. 
Thoughts run through my mind, trying to prove I'm insane. 
Resisting the urge, to cut away the bad feeling. 
Addiction stays put, erasing hard work and healing. 
I have good outlets, but I still count on the blade, 
to beat the sadness, because to tell, I'm afraid. 
I'll be asked questions, "How does hurting help your pain?"
But the good news is, I'm connected to a chain. 
I can't run too far, bad thoughts will go down the drain. 
I open the bottle, the relief I will collect. 
Swallow my worries, a wonderful side effect.

Alone

Alone This has happened before, fighting on my own. Self-hatred and sadness, thin marks, and bruised bone. The urges still haunt me, I see red and relief  The pain still controls me, that old friend, a thief. Stealing my sanity, my strength, my progress My brush needs a canvas ,I'll gently  caress  I have missed you, master,  the love you have shown. Convincing and charming, making me feel alone.

Gift

Photo from:  AuthenticGrowth.com Words talked over, my voice inside my head Eyes controlled me, my skin burned, cut, and dead Anxiety, told me the biggest lies Notebook pages, soaked up all my loud cries Every mistake, piled up on my chest Heart beat, fast pace, impossible to rest The attention, self-esteem took hold of It hurts to unwrap, what a gift is self-love.
