You cannot tell sad girls that they' are pretty
unless you are prepared to hold them
as they sob hysterically at 3 am
You are not allowed to tell sad girls they are perfect
if you have never seen the wounds that litter their bodies
and represent each battle lost in a war with themselves
And I am begging you, please do not tell sad girls
that you are in love with them
unless you true and entirely are

Cut Too Deep
Crying
Uncontrollably
Tonight
Trying again
Over and
Over
Dying
Every
Evening
Please help
***
Just To Let You Know
In case you haven't heard, I'm dying
In case your wondering, I'm not okay
In case you care, please help
Just to let you know, I cry every night
Just to let you know, I plan on ending the pain
Just so you know, I borrowed your razor
Love,
Your Daughter

Thoughts
They told me it would be painless,
The voices in my head
Do you have those too?
The ones that never go away?
The ones that always repeat themselves?
Those voices
Well, my voices put thoughts in my head
They tell me I'm worthless, pathetic, a mistake...
And you know what I do?
I listen to them
I let them torment me
I let them hurt me
I let them do whatever the hell they want
So long as they tell me where to draw next
***
Hope
Hold
On
Pain
Ends

Okay, that was my last one for today. Do you like my poems? To be honest, there will be a couple that aren't mine, and I'll tell you when they aren't, and give credit to whoever did write it.
Love ya.
