Drunk

Drunk.

Tripping over feet and kicking empty bottles-

No where to turn no where to hide.

Cops.

A blur of lights flashing blue and red.

No where to turn no where to hide. 

Lost.

Feel the cold cuffs hug my scummy wrists. 

No where to turn no where to hide.

I'm worth nothing.

I'm locked inside myself without a key.

Direction. I need direction.

I'm covered in bruises from head to toe.

Cure. I need a cure.

I drown myself in the wine.

Self discipline. I need self discipline.

Smothered in smoke from the weed.

Answers. I need answers.

I will never want to go home.

Love. I

Let the waves envelope me. Take me under with the current.

I want to see the colors fade into blue. I want to watch myself sink. Darkness surounds my eyes- drowns out my fears.

The chill of the water drains me out. There is no purpose.

A sense of calming takes over me.

Safe. Protected

Flat stomach.

Trimmed thighs.

Toned arms.

Sharp face.

Bones and skin.

Vivid eyes.

Perfect hair.

Makeup flawless.

Skin bright and tan.

Luxurious style.

"Why can't this be me? " she asks. 

We are constantly trapped and bombarded by perfection.

We strive for the impossible

And bleed for the undone. 

Kick punch binge and purge-

Have a sip.

Take a hit.

Chug this brew.

Swallow this pill.

Fall into the haze and feel the nothingness.

Let yourself go numb.

Have him explore you; lift up your skirt.

Who is he? Pretend you know him.

Stop resisting. Stop caring.

Lose yourself. Lose yourself.

Be popular. Be popular. Be popular.

I am

The grass perfectly cut; the hedges trimmed. 
Flowers planted; bursting with brilliance. 
The pool clear as day filled with warming sensation.
But the mansion with tinted windows-
Inside lies nothing more than riches and fame;
The "perfect" life in a "perfect" town; staged.
The tears fall and the bruises stain-
Nothing can be seen

I dare not open that door;
The blood drips-
Seeks its way into the cracks.
The screaming never seams to cease-
It lingers.
Down the hallway and into my head
The darkness seems to fill
Everything in it's path.
I'm at the door my hand grasps the knob.
I dare not open that door-

She stands there like a queen-

Her wealth shining around her neck and wrist

She owns me.

Her fingers yellow from cigarettes

And her lips stained from the wine.

Her eyes hang low and her hair a mess.

Bloodshot tears run down her face.

Music in blast through her ears and thoughts begin to

Inside this world
There is a girl who 
Puts on a smile so others 
Won't see.
A smile that hides the 
Secrets of what happens outside
And into the real world. 
A smile that rushes through hallways and people. 
Boys and Girls of all ages -Hurrying walking faster and faster because They can't see.
