I Cross my heart and try not to cry,
I say this pledge before I die…
To my family who seems so strong,
But it was I who was in the wrong…
To my friends who think I’m fine,
But behind this mask I’m really dyin’…
To my ex, whom I never text,
I say good-bye with much regret,
I don’t blame you for never seeing my neglect…
To the therapy and pills that thought they could help,
You only back, my deep dark chills…
To me, you thought you were great, you thought you could leap right into normality
But now your six feet deep, and far from humanity…
How can you miss something that’s never there,
Besides, I’m no reason to really start care…
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers.
I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism.
I really hope none of you relate with any of these :)
I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can.
The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day.
