-Mercy-

Close to me

Not where you want to be

All of the things I've seen led me to here

I cry out

Ignored again, no doubt

But why are you here?

Why are you staying when you're gone?

And you're still so near me

So how don't you hear me?

Oh, you're so close to me

But you've never been

Or haven't been

No, you're not even here

But you're laying right there

Get up!

Get up, I want to hear you talk

Get up!

Get up and say it out loud

Get up!

Stand up!

Scream it on out

Let me hear what I need to hear

While you're laying right here

Can I make my skin plastic from the bitter and cold?

Can I turn myself plastic? Bright, shiny and bold.

Can I cure a sickness I was never meant to behold?

These are questions I have that are getting old.

I wander all day.

Mind races at night.

Can I turn myself plastic?

Would it be easier to fight?

You see I still like feeling, so I'll keep my insides

But can I turn my skin plastic so I'll have somewhere to hide?

Reddittors, Im a female (25) and recently I met a man (also 25) who has the same mindset and outlook as I do.

We have amazing chemistry and while our goals are similar they are still somewhat different since I have a child and he does not (nor does he want any). But my seven year old son is not the issue, we have spoken about where we stand relationship-wise now and we don't see the fact that I'm a mother ruining what we have if it progresses into the future.

Neither of us are in ideal financial situations at the moment, especially me. He has his own place and two roommates and does alright for himself being a 25 year old male.

The problem I've been coming across is the opinions of oth

I'm the brown demon in your brain

90 days down the drain

The last pain you ever wanted to feel again

Why you let yourself down, I don't know

But you're trapped inside the rabbithole

Needlehole

Injection site

You think it will, but it won't be alright

You're mine

Even when you're 90 days clear

Because you're chained

You're caged

Your soul now lives here.

Some thoughts on yesterdays indiscretions and how I feel about day fucking one. Again.

The nights that you're sick are relieving for me

For those are the hours that you mirror me

My weakness, bizareness is stressing enough

But when you are sick you forget all the fuss

Being so close to such grit and such grime

must take a toll, I think all the time

When you are sick I can take care of you

But then I hurt wondering,

is your pain my fault too?

Ill never let you down because I can't possibly I've been lower than low And you know It goes Low Lower Lowest Then low again

I'll never let you down because I can't possibly

Every jaded color has been exposed Every tainted thought you know It goes Because ending doesn't know this show And so it goes Lower Than low

I couldn't possibly let you down because I'm already as low As low Can go

Watching while your sleeping

Breathing

Being

Thinking while I'm sitting here

Poised

Prepared

For what I do not know

However, I've learned this comes and then it goes

Without warning

Without care

Swiftly, transparency

The beauty you'll soon long

So that's why I watch now

For remembering

When you're gone
