What to Do
What to do
Oh, what to do
I can't stop
myself, from
thinking and
thinking and
thinking
about you.
What to do
Oh, what to do
I love you. You
know that I do.
Could we
pretend for just
a minute that I
am good enough
for you?
What to do
Oh, what to do
I am always
missing you. It
eats me up inside
to know you're
never going to
need me like
I need you.

Beautiful, Black Butterfly (Emo Prose)
I kept hidden behind a cloud of black smoke. I dyed my hair, blackened my outfits, and smoked a shit-ton of cigarettes to make my insides as black as my outsides. I wanted to feel the darkness surround me like a black cloak of midnight. I wanted to hide: from the sun, the stars, and the cruelty of men. In the blackness, in the darkness, I can find myself. I can find the girl I once was and remember all the things my childhood wasn't. I'll remember my mommy holding me instead of hitting me. I'll remember my daddy kissing my forehead instead of spitting on it. I'll remember having friends; lots...

Suicide
Standing on top
of the bridge,
leaning, wind whipping
at my hair.
I could see the seagulls
flying, the waves
crashing
and breaking
and swallowing whole
the sea,
just like it is
about to
swallow me. I jump,
and I fall,
what a rush; what
a relief.
I breath in deep,
and exhale a scream
like I've never screamed
before, my
ears hurt. My heart
stopped.
I fell to my death.
I fell to my
end. It was
perfect, it was
beautiful, and I
found peace.

They Deserve This Shit
All these goddamn words
were written by
an angry, teenage girl
with curse words, harshly
spat into the sky
in a hushed whisper to the
bullshit adults in her life
who don't give a shit.
They deserve it.
They deserve a curse
word or five.
They deserve to be
flipped off from behind
a wall. Although I
hate the, I cannot tell
them.
I cannot risk
losing my cell
phone again.
Those stupid bitches
with their lies and their
light switches flickering
on and off and on and off
to intimidate...

the End of La-La-Land (Hypothetically, Of Course)
When the world bleeds
out its final, agonizing
drop, I will miss
you. I will miss you
until the world
is through.
As every day,
every hour,
every fucking millisecond
flies by like a vulture
my mind is in a tornado
thinkin' about what
we could be.
I wish I could stand
by you, be beside
you, and live in a
fairy tale with butterfly
kisses, sober princes, and
not a reason in Hell to cry.
Because, in this
la-la-land
I won't want to take
a razor to my throat,
or jump off the bridge,
or...

Might as Well (go Burn in Hell)
Drinkin' tears and blood
like cheap whiskey, mixing
it with a little coke,
gets me going
in the morning.
It gets my head
wanting more.
Might as well have
another hangover
before breakfast.
Might as well
go burn in Hell
because,
I suppose,
they're ain't
nothing
better to do.
Might as well
do whatever
I can, to make sure
I don't turn out
like my old man.
I want to be a painter,
he was a lawyer. I
smoke weed,
He'd call it
"marijuana" cause he's
one smart little...

I'm Sick of Being Such a Bitch
I hate how much
I hate everyone
Else.
I treat everyone
Like shit but
They love me
Anyways.
It's not a good
idea, because in
the end,
I'm just gonna
spit
in
your
face.
The truth is, no
Matter how many
times I apologize,
I don't
Mean it.
I can't handle all
the shit I put
People through. I
Love all of you,
I hate myself
for hurting you.
I am so sick
of being such
a bitch, yet
it's all I
know anymore.
It's all I
am...

My Last Letter
I'm fucking miserable.
I'm stereotypical.
I'm a lying, cheating,
Cock-sucking, attention-
Seeking, bulimic little
Whore. I'll tear you to
Pieces. I'll burn you as
You bleed. I will leave.
I cannot stay because
I know I'll hurt you. I'm
So sorry I do. I love you.
I do have feelings. They're
Overwhelming me. They
Are killing me. They might
Even get to me first, if
I don't just do it myself.
I don't want to live, but I'm
too much of a little bitch
To just end it. I'll just
Swallow down some pills,
Take a razor to my...

This Lying Whore
All those goddamn lies
Are eating me up inside.
I can no longer hide
From this. I wish I'd
Died from this. I treated
You and everyone else
Like shit. And I'm so
Sorry. But you don't
Believe me anymore
Because of how many
Times I've looked in
Your eyes and lied.
But, I really am sorry.
I just don't deserve
Your forgiveness.
Not for what I've
Done. Not for what
I've become. I'm this
Lying whore, now.
I'm this lying whore.

Always
Those eyes
That face
What do I have to do
To be good enough for you
That black and red jacket
Your black and red hat
Your voice
Your words
The way you smell
The way your hand feels
As you touch my head.
I love you.
You know that I do.
I always will sit by
You. You are the only
One I want.
You are the only thing that
Matters in this fucking
Universe.
All I want to do right now
Is force all the clothes off you.
I want to feel you everywhere.
I want to feel you... right here
Right...

Ending it All
Bleeding
Screaming
Repeating
But...
I'm only dreaming.
I wish I was
Gone. I wish you
Were wrong.
It's true what everyone
Says about me.
I don't deserve this
Life. I'm always
Miserable. I can't
Even explain why.
Everything is going
Good. In fact, it's
Going great. But, all
I want to do anymore
Is bleed.
I want to let you out
From underneath my
Skin. I just can't help
But let you in.
You always win
You always win.
But it's my fault for
Letting you in....
