Broken Poetry

Silent Sue

Darkness consumes my every thought,
Causing me to shove daisies into my ears
And cry at the slightest light.

Poison so great slips under my bones
And runs through my veins.

Purging years worth of clustered dreams
From under my fragile flesh
I scream and cry at the nothingness around me.

Bandages cover my skin
Hiding my cuts, burns, and bruises
While those white coated beasts
Shove me into this hell hole with others who have lost their sanity.

Crystal,
Eyes so clear.
She cries and cries.
Like never ending teardrops.
Tears of blood,
She clawed out her eyes.

Shay,
A cutter.
But not like me.
Baby cuts cover her flesh and her voices haunt her dreams.
Killed her family
Then blamed it on the voices.

Silent Sue.
Me.
Never speaks a word.
Hears voices.
Hallucinates.
Never sleeps.
Never cries.

Blood covered walls,
We fight all day.

Shay trying to slit my wrists
And me trying to get Crystal to shut up.

They take me away,
And lock me up in a room so small.
No windows,
No doors.
Just rails.

Like an animal needing to be caged.
I guess that's me.

I dig my nails into my cheek,
Suddenly hating the skin that lays there.

White coats rush in and pin me down.
Shove my mouth full of pills and drown me with water to wash it away.

They give me food that tastes like dirt.
Hardened bread.
Nearly spoiled milk.

My own flesh tastes better,
I know because I've taken a bite.

Dreams haunt me like a forever owner
Pulling me around on a freakin leash
Bare naked to the bone.

Sit
Stay
Roll over
Eat.

Sit
Eat
Sleep.

I don't take orders so I bite the leash.

All I want is to be free
And see the ones who hurt me in the first place.

I just want five seconds to see them,
That's all I'll need
To slit their wrists
Eat their throats
Chew their eyes
And kill them slowly.

Not that bad right?

They call me Silent Sue
Because I don't talk.

But the voices scream inside my head.
Waiting to get out of hell.

But guess what?
I'm here to stay.
