And now for a moment of wisdom

My Ashy Heart: Poem.

[ Okay, before anyone has a chance to say anything, let me explain. I know that only the first part rhymes, but it's still part of the same poem. It all grew from the same feeling and the same idea. So, therefore, I don't care about your opinion on my rhyming scheme. Get over it.) 

A sinking ship so destiny. 

A faithful friend, stands next to me. 

A bloody hand escapes the earth;

Craves revenge; Wants me to hurt. 

And I run so far, but betrayal crashes down;

And my heart pauses gently as my face hits the ground. 

My demons drag me down by my feet. 

I feel the fire of my mistakes; and I try to retreat. 

Don’t let me fall;

Don’t let me burn. 

You can’t let the past consume me. 

I’m not afraid to boil. 

I’m not afraid to bubble.

I’m afraid to have you stand there; watching. 

And left remembering the monster

That claws at my insides. 

Don’t prick your hand on the needles, 

When you shoot medication through your veins. 

I can’t protect you from yourself. 

I’ve already been gnawed halfway through ‘insane.’ 

Remember the silvery teeth of my demented mind. 

Don’t forget me how I was. 

Don’t forget how I used to be. 

I’m afraid to never be remembered

As the girl who lied. 

Saying “I’m fine.” 

When the darkness grew from 

her ashy heart.
