Trigger Warning: this poem contains thoughts of suicide and other mental health issues. It was written over 8 years ago, and does not reflect who I am now. Please seek help if you find yourself with these thoughts and emotions. I am sharing this to show there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and you are not alone.

If you are currently struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a friend/family member and check out these resources:

Pain

You think you know real pain:
the sting of a cut,
the crack of a bone.

Monday Musings: Tear My Castle Down

Tear My Castle Down

I’m standing on my castle which stands on the world.

So why does everyone think I’m standing on them?

I stand here alone; I don’t need a boy or girl.

I can do this without you, all by myself.

Monday Musings: Beautiful Nightmares

Beautiful Nightmares

I can’t get you off my mind;

Thoughts of you keep me awake at night.

I toss and turn; there is no relief,

Not until you are again laying next to me.

Monday Musings: Save Yourself

Save Yourself

There is no one who is going to save you here.

If you are broken, the pieces are yours to pick up.

If you are afraid, it is up to you to conquer your fear.

There is no knight in shining armor, and you do not have to wait to be saved.

Save yourself because no one else is going to do it.

Monday Musings: Carrying Darkness

Carrying Darkness

Even though you may not love someone anymore,

they still have left marks on your soul that you have to deal with.

Sometimes you have to find yourself again,

but it’s even better when someone reminds you of who you have always been;

you just had to drop the darkness the other person left behind for you to carry.

Monday Musings: Part Two – What Lies Below

Part Two – What Lies Below

You’ve gone away for awhile;

I know you’ll be back.

I just have to wait;

I miss you so bad.

I wonder how your life is;

Do you have someone?

The thought makes my heart ache;

To you, am I special?

My heart almost stops;

My thoughts halt.

Did I just think that?

This is your fault.

And that makes me smile;

When did I last feel this way?

Before he left me;

You left me here to stay.

I think I’m falling again;

Last time I was afraid.

I was afraid to let go;

Am I afraid of what lies below?

I was afraid to fall too far;

That things would become blurry.

I can see fine now;

Will you catch me?

Monday Musings: Interruption – Reprieve

Interruption – Reprieve

Tears streaking my face,

I look at you.

Why are you so kind?

I wish I knew.

Wiping away my tears,

Please don’t…

You smile at me.

I can’t… Or I won’t.

You pull me close.

I think I can breathe.

Just hold me, for tonight?

You are such a relief.

You don’t let go.

I can’t stop crying.

When was I held like this last?

I thought the world was ending.

Maybe it’s just the beginning.
