Melanie, don’t you cry

It will be alright

I’ll be here to hold you through the night

You don’t understand why things happen like they do

Believe me when I tell you

Someone will find you special like I do

It’s not easy

When your heart confuses you

You don’t know what to do

It’ not easy

When you mind is filled with doubt

Will anyone love you?

Melanie, don’t you cry

I know the sun will shine

I think everything’s gonna work out fine

One day you’ll understand why things happen like they do

And you’ll believe me when I tell you

Someone will find you special like I do

I've been walking around

I've seen you before

but I've never stopped

to knock on your door

now I've been losing sleep

your all I think about

and you might be the one

that I can't do without

I've never thought of you before

now you left me wanting more

I noticed you

now I'm head over heels

Death with no Face

“I am your dream turned nightmare,

a hellish inferno, waiting;

waiting to haunt your soul

with raging madness,

to burn fear into your darkest days.

Your life is forfeit

In an abyss of blackness never fathomed.

as those before you have tried and failed,

I await your useless challenge

to cling to a life, rightfully mine.

When you sleep;

listen for my roar of laughter.

It will really be your insanity screaming.

I wait foolish one.

I wait.”

Are you a fox wearing people skin?

Or a person wearing porcelain?

How can this be real?

It is just a dream.

A real live china doll and you.

The same fuckin thing.

When you look at me

With no words

Just love

I shiver.

When you reach for my hand

With no words

Just love

I shiver.

I shiver

Because my body

Can barely handle

The intensity

Of your feelings

For me.

I’ve never known another

Who could make me react

So passionately

To their touch

Or their gaze

Besides you.

- I hope the shivers never go away.

Subconsciously I tell myself that these good things last forever,

But they never do.

I give up before I’ve started because I tell myself it won’t work,

But it’s never true.

I always mess up thinking that people will stick around,

And I never got a clue.

Because, every single time I forget these mistakes; I trust again.

So can I even trust you?

Shattered my soul

Smashed my head against the pavement

Broken my heart

Torn my wings from my back

You never cared

Did you?

I cried and you laughed

I screamed

I begged but you kicked me over

I needed help

But you watched me suffer

You watched me slowly die

I now have grown a bigger set of wings

Glued my heart back

Found my soul

And now it’s your turn

Run

I dare you

You will not get far

Turn around

Follow the sound of broken glass

And find me waiting

I will show you what you did to me

I feel as though this subject is not talked about enough. Often times it is brushed over and thrown aside even though it is just as important or even more important than physical health. As someone who deals with many things put into this category, I know that some people just brush past it. I tried reaching for help but I was thrown aside. And now I still struggle with it and more times than not I have to conceal it. That is like trying to conceal a broken leg or a gash in your arm. Not easy. (I know that was a bad comparison but you get my point.) What I am trying to say is that some people need your help with this because not everyone accepts it. People cannot believe what their eyes cannot see. If you have a friend or family member, please truly ask them how they are. Not the ‘hey how’s it going?’ and responding with ‘good’ conversation. Sit down with them in person (not over text) and ask them really how they are. Just talking with someone who understands can help. If you do that, you just saved a life. :)
