People think my life is easy
Nice house
Low expectations
Normal life
What people don’t understand
Is what it’s like to know I could wake up different
To wake up and hurt everyone and have no control
To know that I may never have what other people have
That I may never be stable enough to be seen as datable
That I may only be useful to others as suicide prevention
That whenever I tell people about me they leave
What’s she doing
This isn’t like her
We need to help her
She needs us
She’s given up
I can’t believe her
Calm down
What’s going on
She’s hurting herself
She’s given up on herself
She needs us
Do you know how it feels
To be there for someone
To do anything for them
Just to keep them in this world
To be a guiding light in hard times
To help them
Yet the moment after
All Is forgotten
I am forgotten
When I need help
Or even someone to talk to
I’m suddenly doing something wrong
I’m told to look for help
Find someone who cares
To go away
To stop putting this pressure on them
As if my life suddenly revolves around them
As if I’m putting my life in their hands
Well it’s gotten to the point where I need someone like me
Who no matter what
Will do anything
Stay up all night
Stay with until I’m happier
Just t
Crying out for help yet getting criticism
Those that try fall so far
Focusing on smaller details
Or brushing my pain aside
As if I don’t have feelings as well
Still believe I’m strong
Left by many that know I’m not
Alone, so often by my own hand
Tears streaming down my face
Left feeling as if I can’t do anything
Because everything I do causes pain in others
Left feeling that I should be stronger
That I should be a role model
Be a perfect human
Who I am is never accepted
Who I am called wrong
Told I don’t know who I am
Told I have act like something I can’t
Nobody accepts that I’m different
That I ca
I’m hurting
Hurting so much
I want to cry out for help
But I’m scared
Of hurting someone
Of scaring them away
Of putting too much pressure on them
I’m scared
All I want
All I’ve ever wanted
Is someone who thinks like me
Who sees the side of the world I do
Who understands every stitch in the fabric of reality
Why it’s there
It’s purpose
Someone who understands emotions
Yet is detached
Someone who knows how hard it is to pretend
To know what it’s like to not follow the same tracks
Yet treated like the hole missing from them doesn’t matter
That it isn’t consuming them
Please
All I want is a friend who won’t leave me
The question I’ve been asking myself
How does it feel being abandoned
Trapped in a strange room
In a strange building
Hours from family
Longer from friends
The answer has always been the same
Burning pain
Like a wild fire burning all the newly grown crops
All the emotions I had for people
All that’s left is a scorch mark
Behind her blank frown
Her judgemental look
Is someone who’s hurting
From wounds anew
And from long ago
Her demons that keep her in the past
And those that paint the worst futures
All of this swirling around a small girl
Scared of the future
But most of all of hurting those around her
She spends her days being called selfish
All because she knows what happens when people get close
It seems good at first
She’s making them happy
Then she tries to show them her real self
And no one understands
Because she is different
In how she acts
How she thinks
While others spend all day trying to be unique
She spends all day trying to fit in

I often find myself looking towards the dark
Up above me
Within reach
Is what it means to be me
Everytime I try to reach for it
Someone throws darkness in front
Clouding my view
Making me someone I’m not
But I can see it clearly now
Who I am
Who I’m meant to be
I’m a carer
Even if people say they don’t need it
They can’t see where they’d be without me
I’m a friend
At the clear moments
When rumours are seen through
And stereotypes are ignore
When friends are hard to come by
I’m a healer
When you’re hurt
When you think you’re irreparable
Because I know what that’s like

I look off this cliff
Into the face of my darkness
Building below me
I look behind me
As a crowd gathers
Telling me to face the cliff
To jump into the darkness
But they only see the wisps over the edge
They see the warmer wisps
Instead of the cold darkness below
They think it’s easy
To have to push people away
To know everyday could be the day I’m pushed over
The day I’m consumed
The day I know I will hurt everybody around me
With the explosion I cause
They tell me to keep looking at this void
Instead of helping the people I can see suffering
There are people that are being pushed over into their voids
And I’m being

status update that became a journal
I was going to do a status update but realised this is going to be a bit a long for that.
Anyway, first things first: sorry for not commenting on any of the things I favourited (except maybe three things?). I had a lot of notifications to get through and didn't have the energy.
Also, going on from the lot of notifications thing: this is probably going to happen more often. 'Cause life is getting busier and it's getting harder to find time (and sometimes energy) to go on DA. So for the next two or so months, I apologise if I don't comment or post as much, although I'll try not to become a total snail!!
Anyway, on to the more exiting news. I

and then we were rising into the night,
becoming one with the stars and
testing the limits of the tenseness of the air.
we settled at the top and my breath stilled,
but not at the beauty of the city that sprawls
and reaches into the horizon with twinkles
of glimmering and glittering warm light.
no, the breath fell from my trembling lips
because though the stars in the sky and
painting the ground were beautiful,
they were nothing compared to you.
i am filled with feelings that are the same as the colours of the aurora borealis / but it is only when i am with you and i can see the same breathtaking lights within your eyes / when i can feel the shiver that shakes your hand that is not the cold, but excitement and disbelief of the night's events

hopes of wishes coming true
[they already are;
dreams existing through rainbow words]
fingers don't tap on plastic keys, they
brush against new landscapes,
drifting into wor[l]ds of comfort and
birdsong dancing on gentle breezes
two souls are connected by more than a flickering signal.
they are connected by the roots that
have taken hold in their hearts.
they are connected by the rivers
rushing through their veins.
they are connected by existing as themselves,
and existing together.

Sun on her fur
and dust motes dancing lightly across her back
her ears flick at the memory of a few days ago but
the birds outside assume it was
her marking their presence and
they flit away into branches that dance across the sky
she is only watched by a soft reflection on the glass
her own green and yellow staring back at her but
even it is staring outside,
waiting
together they wait,
her and her reflection and her shadow
until the sun dips behind the neighbours roof and
the sound of wings brushing the air disappears and
the windowsill feels like it's crumbling beneath her feet

Selfish and jealous
Two words I hear a lot, I’ll admit occasionally I can be jealous but to go ahead and call someone selfish without knowing everything about their life can leave a lasting mark. I know I may seem selfish sometimes and I can’t speak for other people but when I’m called selfish especially by someone close to me all I want to do is die. That hole that keeps getting picked at just gets larger and larger yet what I actually do is the opposite. I have to pretend to be alright but I couldn’t care less about myself. I know that may be where someone goes no that’s bad. Care about yourself just to try to
Well this is probably gonna be terrible. Oh well my first journal.
Okay where do I start...
How about I just get straight into it.
Okay. Society has strict guidelines that some people struggle to believe are there, others believe and follow them and then there’s the few that can see them.
Now those that don’t believe and do believe are pretty much the same in every other way. They follow what people tell them to do and live following select routes that determine how they act. These routes have been pre determined over the past thousand years or so and don’t define someone personality but more so how it controls the person
