Released

December 22nd, 2025

I whispered to myself
In the crisp March air
“I’m free” through a smile
Pretending not to care
Meeting new people
Buried in distractions
Filling my life to the brim
Only delayed my reaction
Exposure therapy to start
Facing uncomfortable situations
Working on my impulses
And leaving room for interpretation
Between ChatGPT and my therapist
Then my love of writing
Working through the layers
With thoughts and actions uniting
I never finished what I started
Not wanting to face my feelings
But avoidance isn’t a solution
If I want to start healing

Pain

July 25th, 2005

*Trigger Warning (Self Harm)*

Pain, pain, just go away
You’re haunting me every day
Agony with a twist
Worse than when you cut your wrist
Separation is a lie
Feelings, feelings, say goodbye
Hollowness in my head
Venom kiss in my bed
Touch of death, I’m going to scream
Can’t stand working with a team
Trapped in my room, stuck in the mess
Screaming over stupid stress
For a while the pain is gone
For a while it’s all done
With a scream it all comes back
This time I’ve decided to attack
As the blood flows I’m not surprised
Never again will I open my eyes

Our Song

July 12th, 2005

I thought I was in love
But I was wrong
Why did I think
That was our song
How do feelings
That were there before
Disappear an hour later
With the slam of a door
