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.

"You tore me apart, just look at my scars. Your clouds and hatred covered my bright stars." -Belle Rose 

The Voice

The Voice She questioned who she was talking to, because this voice sounded familiar. The phrases that they didn't mean, were phrases that another voice meant. It sounded like the voice that made her feel special, but then caused her to feel worthless.  like the voice that created smiles, but then helped her cut her wrists like the voice that gave her a reason not to cry, and then became the reason why she still cries. like the voice that said "I'll be your best friend", and then eventually said "good-bye." It reminded her of that voice, that left her to deal with this pain alone. The voice that started everything, The voice that broke her heart first... -Belle Rose

Good-Bye

Good-Bye Good-bye painful memories, I am running far away, from your dangerous abuse, you cannot make me stay. Good-bye painful memories, you can no longer hurt me. You provided me with ink, the tears that wrote my story. You erased my confidence, I was stuck on chapter one. And I never realized, my story had just begun.  Good-bye painful memories, I promise you won't find me.  Because friendship protects me-- The love that changed my story.  -Belle Rose
