A/N: This is dedicated to @blueandblackitsablur and to the people who have hurt and hurt and fell down, but are now standing up. Thank you, @blueandblackitsablur for inspiring me! I hope you don't mind that I wrote this poem.
~ ~ ~
you're wearing thin down
to the core
and you feel like you're nothing,
you're in a war
and you're not sure
who's winning
because it feels like
your whole world
is spinning.
your heavy heart
is in the dark
and it seems
that it can crack the ground
and that the only place
you feel alive
is in your dreams
because it seems
it's where you can be free
to be you.
your hand
touches the bottle
and you take some pills,
trying to dull
the pain inside
and curl up on your bed
and let the demons
inside your head
whisper lies;
i wish you knew
that you're not hurting
only yourself
but me too
when you do this;
you're made
for so much more.
you're a homesick angel
and you cradle
your baby scars,
just wanting to go home
to be with the stars;
and i know
you want to fly
but it's not your time;
not yet, love.
though, you plant
seeds that came
dripping down
from your chheeks,
know that in the morning
instead of sorrow,
tomorrow it'll be
sprouting joy;
and i know it's night
and there's barely light
shining, right now;
but i promise you,
soon you'll be home
just not now.
spread your wings
and let the angels' songs
caress your skin
instead of sharp playthings
like razors and knives
and blades
touch your skin
and softly draw
and brush
with splashes
of red paint
because you weren't
meant for this;
you were meant for
a happily after all
not a fall.
so let your heart
be filled truth
instead of lies
that aren't true
and let light
hug you
in its comforting embrace
instead of night's
cold fingers
grip you,
giving you
black and blue
and blue and black bruises.
so let light
hold your heart
and be a band-aid
to seal
the cracks
in yourself
and love you
for you're meant
to be whole
and loved
and touched
by light and not darkness;
you've come this far,
don't give up now.
