Want

I want to walk on far off sandy beaches

And it just gets kind of tough

When I'm told to play in the sandbox

And that's supposed to be enough

I want to soak in the masterpeices

And it just gets kind of hard

When internet images

Are as close as I get to art

 

I want to be satisfied with what I have

But slowly I'm learning

The youthful position

Is one of yearning

Survivors

They wear battle scars

And they don't know how beautiful they are

And society doesn't understand

That it's a fight

With monsters in the mirror

And monsters inside

When your fighting yourself

There's no where to hide

So they wear battle scars

They don't know how beautiful they are

They find relief

In red lines

And I wish it didn't have to hurt

But I'm so glad they are alive

Living and fighting another day

So strong with their battle scars

And I wish each and every one

Would know how beautiful they are

I wish for a world where so many lovely people I know we'rent effected by inner monsters. If you are struggling with self harm, help is out there. http://www.selfinjury.com/ I pray better days are to come for all of you 

That negative voice inside of your head is not on your side

Shooting down your own dreams
Snuffing out your own light
You become gravedigger
And corpse alike

Escape

My eyes are starved for beauty
In a world so digital

My heart forgets to beat
So hungry for adventure

My soul aches for flavor
My tounge craves something new

I listen to excellent music
The least that I can do

Summer

Free from the answers that got stuck on the tongue
Free from the drama and words that stung
Free from the workload
Free to have fun
Free of expectations
Free to be young

Skinny.

Bile burns the throat
Before the throne they kneel
Meal re-served in a porcelain bowl
They can't wretch up what they feel
And all they feel is empty
Lying on the tiled ground
They swallowed societies lies
They can't keep their own food down

"Friend" Request

I've never spoken to you
But we're friends anyway
I'd comment on your photo
If I had anything to say
I thought we could start to talk
But the fact is
You're not likeley to like me better
If I "like" your status
So we remain where we are
And where we'll always be
But don't you know we're friends?
