Keep Breathing

If someone tells you “You’re ugly,”
Tell them they’re beautiful.
If someone tells you “You’re incapable,”
Tell them they’re capable.
If someone tells you “You’re hopeless,”
Tell them they’re hopeful.
If someone tells you “You’re mean,”
Tell them they’re kind.
If someone tells you “You’re stupid,”
Tell them they’re smart.

Meditate on the positive words that are the opposite of the negative words they spit at you.

The Girl that Nobody Knows

Samantha

02 Oct, 2014 06:40 AM
As day turns to night 
And that smiles starts to fade
All the pain she tries to hide 
Comes to face. 

As winter turns to fall 
Faces start to dissipate 
All the tears come to play. 

As she lays with her face in the pillow, 
Cries those mournful tears 
She can't help but think of suicide,

There was a boy, I loved him so,
but then he had to let me go.
He took another upon his knees,
and whispered her things he never told me.

Late at night, the moon shone bright,
my parents came home searched for me both left and right.
On my own, on my bed,
cried and shouted; my feelings for life were never said.

I glanced at myself for one last time,
how could he commit such a crime.

Lost and Found

Raylee

01 Oct, 2014 10:50 PM
There was a girl who never knew life,
who solved her problems using a knife.
wasted feelings, wasted tears;
the life she had, was all she feared.

Not a second not a minute, not a day goes by,
where that girl doesn't break down and cry.
Eyes so innocent tears soft,
she wiped them away figured she had enough.

Til' one day she met a boy,
who gave her happiness and joy.

Nothingness on a Dark Road

Nadene Basson

22 Sep, 2014 09:50 AM
A Dark road, alone with only my thoughts, 
with the sound of my heartbeat and broken hope.
Crimson tears, slowly draining my soul, my hope, my life. 
It’s bliss, knowing that I will no longer endure the struggle of everyday shit.
 
I have been waiting for all this to end, endless nights in the darkness, 
wishing that by some miracle, 
I will just vanish into the lurking nothingness of my existence. 
Spending my time in the shadows that drown me.

Please release me from my burden. 
The deception of a happy face, the facade people around me see.

The razor is the only one who cares

kendra tinch

29 Sep, 2014 04:52 PM
The razor is my only hope
The razor is my only friend
The razor is the only one who has been there for me until the end
Even the voices in my head agree that I'm alone
So here I write this poem to let everyone know
I'm done with life, I'm done with the pain
Now no one will hurt me every again

I remember the time when I didn't even know that the razor was there
A time when for once others were there
But once they realized what I am instantly I was left alone
In each and every cut I feel my self slip away

I try to live

Kat

i try to live,
but all it does is kill me,
i try to run,
but all it does is scar me,
i'm alone, and no one else can save me,
i try to fight,
but all the darkness surrounds me,
i try to live,
but all it does is kill me,
all they see is the outer core,
the darkness inside is changing my life,
i try to move on,

She loved you so much

Loret Briel

18 Sep, 2014 07:51 AM
It’s been ripped apart.
A heart that once was so innocent, 
are scattered in a million pieces.
‘I love you’ is what she wanted to hear.
But all you said was ‘I don’t feel the same anymore’.
You were all she ever wanted.
And yet she was to scared to tell you what she really felt.
Those words she will never forget, as she take the blade up her arm.
Thin crimson drawings appeared.
The blood dripping on her floor, as she pushed harder with the blade.
She want to forget those words, she want to cut them out.
She want it to be over.

I'm Fine

cheyenne

25 Sep, 2014 03:18 PM
I've been lost, I've been down, but most of all I couldn't be found.
I cried many times, I bled many times.

Those scars on my skin was about the past I was in. 
My past was painful. I quit cutting everyone became grateful. 
The scars on my skin make me wanna go back again.
My scars burn like they have just been cut. 

I am getting weaker by the day, 
but if I sadden today I'm afraid I'll let everyone down today.
My scars burn right now, 
but I am trying not to look at them,

Fate...

kendra tinch

24 Sep, 2014 02:29 AM
I scream so loud but no one hears
Being alone is one of my biggest fears
Someone please notice my cry for help
I'm tired of fighting this on my own
Every time I look down I see the scars 
The only thing that makes me, me
I'm tired of fighting this everyday
When will it finally be my turn to be saved
I fear that by the time you notice it will be too late
But if that's the case
So be it my fate
