Poems are the best way I've found to release feelings :).

Painted Blue

Spoiler

Being painted blue

is quite the struggle

when you dont want to be

painted blue

Because you would rather

be painted anything but blue

because blue makes you vulnerable

and that's not okay.

 

Straighten up,

 

Open up,

 

Eat up.

 

Shut up.

 

Make up.

 

Straighten up,

or you'll get sent back

to The Place.

you hated The Place.

You still do.

So straighten up

and shut up.

 

"Open up

and tell me how you feel.

I don't care if you feel stupid while you do,

just tell me how you feel

and reveal your insecurities"

'so I can prescribe more meds

that we both know won't actually work.'

That's what The Lady tells me

every Tuesday.

But that's okay. I'll just say I took them

but save them for later instead.

So open up

and tell me how you feel.

 

Eat up,

you're too skinny.

You haven't eaten an actual meal

for over 3 weeks now.

Now stop.

stop eating.

Quit stuffing your face,

it's not ladylike.

Starve yourself.

You've done it before,

you can do it again.

You said you wanted to look pretty,

this is how you do it.

It's the only way, so either take it or leave it.

Just don't go completely without food

for too long, or the school will start to notice

"It's okay if you one or two small snacks every few days

you'll seem more civil that way."

Eat up.

 

Shut up.

No one asked you.

Stop talking, you're so annoying.

Sut up, shut up.

Who?

Asked.

Shut.

Up.

rust up.

 

Make up your mind,

you've confused me.

What do you want me to do?

How much more

do I need to suffer

in order for me to be good enough for you?

Make up

your mind, please

 

I used to be painted blue,

but then that vulnerability turned to anger

and there's a lot of it.

And now

I'm painted red.

sjankasajlkasnsni i was kind of just spouting out words, i haven't even gone back and read through it yet, i just needed to get this out because i'll feel like im going crazy otherwise, so yeah

The rawness is beautiful shortcake, sometimes unpolished is the best in poems and people

When the Water Spills

Spoiler

When the water spills

I take my leave

of absence

because I have lost

all self control

And I am too ashamed

to ask for help

For I fear of the knowledge

of others' judgement

It takes over

my mind and body

and shuts everyone out,

often hurting the ones I care for most.

The only thing

that can bring me back

is the visible guilt

that pours over me

when the water spills.

btw im just posting what i put on my SU onto here

i forgot this thread existed lol
