The monsters were never
under my bed.
Because the monsters
were inside my head.
I fear no monsters,
for no monsters I see.
Because all this time
the monster has been me.
it's called a rib cage,
isn't it?
well, it's supposed to cage things.
i always wanted to be skinny enough to feel it.
but that's not the point at all.
if it's supposed to cage things,
like it's supposed to cage my heart,
where did you get the key?
and why do you have two hearts
if none of them are beating?
it's like stealing a coat in summer.

holding on to broken angels
i. i never told her this,
but sometimes i feel like she's my broken angel.
she can't see what i see,
she can't see this person who saved me.
ii. my hazel green eyed girl.
not you, please not you,
i can't have any more scars in my life.
unless they're my own.
and that's not going to happen.
i promised.
i. why does she keep falling with me?
why do we keep falling?
isn't there a bottom for us both to hit?
i don't know who's falling faster,
i don't know who's further away,
i never knew a thing about physics.
i just know this is an eternal free fall.
i'm sorry.
iii. i'm sorry i can't save you,
i'm always falling,
you can't hol
You hang up.
Again and again and again.
I don't really care,
but you should know I'm lying when I say that.
Because at the end of the day, I am a liar.
And what do liars do? Oh yes, they lie.
I don't love you, I don't care, I'm fine, everything's wonderful.
And the worst of all? A smile.
Because this smile in my face is nothing but a mask.
A mask to hide the tears I shed every night hugging a pillow,
because pillows have healing powers, and if you hold them really tight to you heart,
your heart may heal...LIES,LIES,LIES,LIES,LIES!
I'm not that old but I'm not young enough to believe in magic, unfortunately.
You say my apologies
I'm so far away from you,
I know I'm sitting right beside you,
holding hands and smiling (empty smiles)
but I'm so immerse in my paranoid thoughts,
so far away to wherever I'm physically sitting,
that earth just sounds like a metaphor.
And a lame one if I may add.
You only know what you got when you lose it.
Do you have to lose me
to tell me all the things I want to hear?
I'm a hopeless romantic and honey,
I know I claim I ain't got a fear,
but my biggest fear is losing you,
and I'm afraid that's a prophecy you wrote
for us both the moment you said "when" instead of "if"
You see how important words ar
She still sits on rooftops,
and dreams about flying.
Just like the bird her dad
gave her when she was eight.
Then her dad flew away,
and she pretended she
did not notice.
Sometimes she wishes
she could be death-daring
skinny all over again.
She liked to dance,
it sometimes felt like flying.
So she'd make her fingers
dance on her torso, over
the cage inside her chest.
This cage held a bird,
which never learned to sing.
A bird that only hit the walls
inside her, making a pounding sound,
desperate for the freedom
she'd love to have.
Besides beauty,
skinny meant light.
And light enough to fly
(just like a bird)
is what sh
For she who understands
nothing but her own thoughts
what is a book that has no pictures?
Bored of the same old routine,
madness calls. it always does
Would you chase time
into a rabbit's hole?
When all you do is fall,
you just don't know
if the depression
you're falling
into is too
deep, or
if you're
falling

There's always a door,
waiting to be opened.
Opportunities are endless.
But sometimes,
you just don't have
a key that [fits].

she takes the pill
And wishes she could

Hello Alice girl, won't you take a seat?
Won't you sit?
Won't you rest?
Won't you talk a while with me?
Hello, Alice girl, won't you have some tea?
Mad?
Oh yes
Of course I am,
I can hardly help it, you see,
I am Mad and I am a Hatter,
And that's the long and short of me.
Hello, Alice girl,
sit a little closer,
if you will.
We shall talk,
and drink our tea,
and soon enough you shall see,
that you have little to fear from a Hatter,
even one as mad as me.
Hello, Alice girl,
what is it you said to me?
Why yes,
Oh my,
that is my hand,
resting upon your knee.
I can't imagine how it got there,
it wasn't from any choice by m
Good day, Mr. Hatter
Why oh dear, what's the matter?
What could be so bad,
as to make you sad,
on a day so bright and new?
Good day, Mr. Hatter,
perhaps if I sit with you I can,
make you laugh, and make you smile,
and sometime in that while,
draw you out of your dark and dreary mood.
Good day Mr. Hatter, yes I'd love a cup of tea!
Though I cannot quite understand,
why that involves your hand upon my knee,
or why you're so insistent,
on holding hands with me.
But you're right,
it is rather nice,
and is that a smile I see?
Good day, Mr. Hatter, what is that you say?
A kiss upon my cheek?
I suppose it could cause no harm,
