Terrifying


So
Speaking of scary
It seems
That a while back
I started getting memories
Of things
That happened
A long time ago

I'm afraid
I'm so afraid
Of remembering

What will happen?
Who will help me?
Who can help me?

Can I tell you?
What will you do?
What will you say?
What will you think?

I'm so scared
Of myself
How could this have happened?
How?
Why?
Why did this happen to me?

I don't understand
So I stopped them
They have ceased
The memories

But I can feel them
Screaming
Tearing apart
With different voices
All of me asunder

They beg to be let out
Shall I let them?
Now that I know?
I let them
Out
Before I knew
What they were
They were scary
And beautiful
I knew them
Far away I knew them
And felt them
My children
My babies
And I saved them
And kept them secret
From everyone

Now they've grown
And are begging
Yelling
Screaming
To be let out

I can't sleep
Because they tell me
They speak to me
And they let me feel them
They let me feel what I've forgotten
I don't
Want
To feel
If that is what I'll feel
I'd rather not
Please
Stop it
Stop
I can't
I'm sorry
Stay inside

Breathe in
Breathe out
Short
Sharp
Breaths

Inhale
Exhale
Quick
Strong
Fast

I tremble
Who can hold me down?
Who will do it?

I have lost
And they are coming
This is what this is for
For them

They will speak
And I will hear them
For better or for worse
Though it may cause me pain
Though I will be torn
I will listen
Will you listen with me?
I'm so afraid...

Lies

Lies, lies
Pour from my mouth like
Sweet honey
Drips from the hive and
You drink them up like
Water

Sickness
Inside and outside
All of me
Venom in your mouth
Still, you're by me
I feel your love

All I say is so untrue
Still your sweet ears
Hear all of my words and
All I say is so untrue
I don't know why
You still stick by me

Sweetness hear the poison
It seeps into your mind
Clouding your sweet smile
Honey
Turn around please
Before the poison
From my mouth kills
You

No
I'll stick by you
Even if it
Kills
Me

Next


This,
The next one
Might reveal me.
Have you found me?
Tell me so.
I'd rather know
That I've been found
Please let me know
Please

Open Closed

I'm never actually open
You think I reveal too much about myself
Good
Brilliant
That's my cover.
I tell you
Meaningless
Worthless
Shit about myself
So much shit
You think you know all about me
But, The Lord be praised
You know nothing about me
All that?
It's all my cover
My masks are broken
And I've nothing left to hide myself with
So I have to distract you
So that you never see my face
Never
Ever
See what was behind
You think you know
You think I've shown you
Me inside and out
You know nothing
You haven't even scratched the surface
And you never will
There is nothing of me you have seen
Only the lies I use for armor
I'm glad
That you think you know me
Because you won't dig
Through all this trash
To find out what's beneath
My cover
Is flawless
I'm enough to keep you near
I'm enough to keep you far
You won't believe there's anything to see
You won't see me
I won't let you
The closer you get
The more intricate the lies
The more difficult to get through
Never
Ever
Ever
Ever
You won't ever see me.
Goodbye
Behind this pile of shit I hide
See you when I see you
Meanwhile
I'll be busy making more lies
For you to swallow
Is it tasty?
I bet it is
I wish it was real

So how...

How...
How?
Yeah...
How do I do this?
I know
You're going to tell me to just let it out
To scream into a pillow
Let me tell you
The pillow will not do anything to muffle my screaming
No it won't
Everyone in this house will hear me
And someone will ask me if I was screaming
And then I'll feel shamed
Shame
Shame shame shame shame
Shame
It's the last thing I want to feel
No way do I want to feel it
Even remotely
I am in shame all the damn time
I can ignore it
But not if someone brings it up
Then I'll wallow in it
So how
How?
Tell me please
How can I get relief?
I can't even cry
I'm not allowed
By me
I don't let myself cry
In my head
Sure
But then my head gets weirdly warm
I'd rather not
No thanks
If I bawl
Someone will hear me
Damn it
I don't WANT anyone to hear me
Because they'll ask me what's wrong
And I won't have an answer
I don't want anyone to touch me
Don't fucking touch me
If I'm crying and you touch me
I can't take that
It's too much
I'll just stop crying
Yeah thanks, your comforting skills are superb
You made me stop right away
Aren't you glad?
It's happened before
It was the worse way I've ever been made to feel by anyone before
But it was my own damn fault
So I haven't cried since
Not in anyway that you could hear
Not in anyway that would comfort me
Not in any way that would bring me relief
This
This writing
This is me crying
Can you hear me sobbing?
No you can't
But you can read all about it
And imagine me doing it.

All of this

All of this is insane
Slowly
I drive myself into a corner
My corner
It's safe in here
Because no one will see me
No one will know

I'm sorry if I offend you
I offend myself though
So it's okay

Please don't write to tell me this is dumb
I know it is
I know I am
But this is how I am getting out
Little
By little
By little

Drip
Drop
Breathe in
Breathe out

I write
And draw
But mostly write
Things that no one sees
Now you shall see them

I shiver in my corner
Are they good?
Not
But I can breathe
After
Once they're out
So I let them out
Here

Shut up!

I hate it when you're like this.
All day not talking to me...
I hate you.
I'd scream at you, If I thought you'd listen
But you won't
How I hate you
Shut Up!
But you're not saying anything at all.
Shut Up!
Where is the noise coming from?
Make it stop! It's so loud!
Shut up!
Stop it!
Stop!
I freaking hate you.
I hate You!
I HATE you!
So hurry up and shut up already!
Who am I shouting at?
There's no one here.
So shut up then.

Mess

Messing around
One restless night
This was thought to be good
Is it?
We shall see
As time passes
And it grows on me
And it grows
What a mess...
So it goes
