Silence
~Katie W.

Silent voices
Silent tears
Silent kisses
Silent years

Silent sorrow
Silent night
Silent madness
Silent flight

Silent burning
Silent breath
Silent bleeding
Silent death

I Can Cut Deeper
~ Katie W.

I put a sheet over the window
To block out the sun
I turn up the music
To block out the pain
And my room is glowing red
Thoughts screaming in my head
Lying here in my bed
The silence cuts so deep
But I can cut deeper.

I avoid looking in the mirror
To try to hide from my eyes
I lift weights till I ache with pain
To try to hide from my weakness
And my sheets are growing red
Memories streaming through my head
Suffocating in my bed
The judgement cuts so deep
But I can cut deeper.

I blame myself always and again
To prove to you I'm not the victim
I smash the mirrors on the wall
To prove to you that I don't care
And my eyes are turning red
All these voices in my head
Crying here in my bed
The compassion cuts so deep
But I can cut deeper.

A Different Angle
~ Katie W.

I remember my light
In the darkness
Faintly glowing
Just an echo now
And I can hear myself singing
That sad song I heard
On the radio one day
Or maybe I dreamed it
Sometimes I can't tell
Sometimes
I can feel my heart
Beating
Bleeding
Breaking
Screaming
I wonder if I deserve this happiness
You're all wrong, you know
If you could hear my thoughts
Like I can
Maybe you would understand my world
If I grow up
I want to live in a black house
With black curtains blocking the sun
I'd always have candles burning
I'd let the wax spill all over the floor
And I'd never clean it up
And I'd break the mirrors
Just to see myself
>From a different angle.

How everything seems to me
~Anonymous

How everything seems to me:

You great them with happiness
they think you are fine
you tell them all the good things
keeping the bad ones inside

they see you help everyone
with a care in your eye
if they were your friend they would see what was inside

then you try to tell them
they just don't seem to understand
why you feel this way
wont they hold your hand

you end up loosing it
feeling you are not normal
they get frustrated
they left you feeling isolated

they tell you that you are all right
its just all in your head
you don't have it as bad
as bad as people these days do

but when you think about it
you remember
they don't really know you
no one really does

they leave you
sitting there alone
you think to yourself
what am i to do now no one's around

sitting there isolated
letting your feelings flow through
keeping them bottled up forever inside you
i have nothing left to do now but sit here and keep them forever inside me

when they build up
the only thing you can do
is sit there and cut
cut deep within you

you don't want others to feel your pain
or notice the scars that would make them insane
so you take it out on yourself
saying they really never noticed me around so now i am by myself
