You Are Beautiful

This is our screams that we cover beneath blankets

And pencils that bleed our pain on blank paper

The scars we hide because we thought the people we held so close to us

Are nothing but beautiful people that don't belong in our world we call "disastrous"

The medicine bottles that entice us every second of everyday

Only for us to shut ourselves in our washrooms

In fear of not the 20 or so pills we'll gulp down

But how we can't control ourselves

And by the time the last pill is gone

There's no turning back

...

Loneliness is underrated

A word used way too many times

We throw it around as if it's as light as a feather

The mourns muffled under jokes upon pillows upon broken glasses upon dented walls

Should suffice

That loneliness

Is an enemy to us all

...

It's okay to feel like this

It's okay to hurt

To die a couple times here and there

To cave in and sob

It's okay

To fall

Because

Beauty comes in all kinds of forms

And ours are going to be full of gashes and scars

With the strength of a warrior

Fighting for their life

...

To all my loved and past loved ones who have shared a part of their broken life

Slowly take a step

Yes it's slow...

But it's progress :)
