You are faking it again –
You know the one I mean.
When you pretend to be happy
You can only injure yourself.
Is that your reasoning?
The burden you bear is invisible but solid,
And its weight presses on everyone around you.
You cannot do this alone.
You are not Atlas.
You can ask for help.
The cherry red you spill
Tastes like iron to the ground
And licorice to the crowd.
Having a clear canvas
Does not mean you have to paint.
You are not a little Barbie.
Makeup will not give you
An unbroken smile.
You were not made to have skin
That barely surrounds your spine.
Hear the whisper as the air enters your body.
It murmurs –
– So listen.
You are stronger than you know
And more beautiful than you would dare to believe.
You are here for a reason.
Nobody is born
Simply so they can die.
So do not step off the ledge in front of you.
You know it is not what you truly want.
And believe me when I say
You are loved.
Even if you do not see it yet.
You know the one I mean.
When you pretend to be happy
You can only injure yourself.
Is that your reasoning?
You're wrong.
The burden you bear is invisible but solid,
And its weight presses on everyone around you.
You cannot do this alone.
You are not Atlas.
You can ask for help.
It's hard.
The cherry red you spill
Tastes like iron to the ground
And licorice to the crowd.
Having a clear canvas
Does not mean you have to paint.
You're hurt.
You are not a little Barbie.
Makeup will not give you
An unbroken smile.
You were not made to have skin
That barely surrounds your spine.
Just breathe.
Hear the whisper as the air enters your body.
It murmurs –
"You are alive!"
– So listen.
You are stronger than you know
And more beautiful than you would dare to believe.
You are here for a reason.
Nobody is born
Simply so they can die.
So do not step off the ledge in front of you.
You know it is not what you truly want.
And believe me when I say
You are loved.
Even if you do not see it yet.
Literature
Rainbow
Red for the blood of those who are bullied, beaten and bashed by haters.
Orange for the fire when all our belongings are burned because we left the world.
Yellow for the stars that we wish upon to be accepted for who we are.
Green for the glow of when God finally accepts us into heaven.
Blue for the streams of tears that drip onto our grave.
Indigo for the selfish who cared for themselves and not others.
Violet for the peace that was settled once we were gone.
Literature
I'm Sorry
I'm sorry for being imperfect.
I'm sorry for my personality.
I'm sorry for being rebellious.
I'm sorry for being stubborn.
I'm sorry for being a bitch.
I'm sorry for being a sinner.
I'm sorry for being a complainer.
I'm sorry for always cursing.
I'm sorry for being complicated.
I'm sorry for being bisexual.
I'm sorry for liking girls.
I'm sorry I'm not Christian.
I'm sorry I'm not like you.
I'm sorry I'll end up in Hell.
I'm sorry I was made this way.
I'm sorry I was ever born.
I'm sorry for being me.

I will Transform
I have a confession
A secret
Of sorts
It's not a joke
A phase
Or a hope
I had a scared thought
So long ago now
Judgment and fear
It intrigued me
On new levels
Of sensation and change
I feel as though I am trapped
Perhaps here
Or perhaps in life
I want to admit now
That I am changing
To better my survival
My body may be foreign
With these God-awful breasts and hips
But I can transform
That's what I do
I have a confession
A secret
Of sorts
I am a human
Perhaps you can't see
But I promise you'll find I don't lie
Gender is beneath me
I want to be free
I will transform
Just wait and you'll see.

She can paint a lovely picture
But the story has a twist.
Her paintbrush is a razor,
And her canvas is her wrist.
Look. It doesn't matter what gender, sex, orientation, color, race, history, height, weight, beliefs, anything you are, you are an amazing person. It can be hard to see sometimes. Mirrors don't always reflect the truth. But it is true. So don't do this to yourself. Don't starve yourself to be more beautiful. Don't cover yourself with makeup to be less broken. Don't hurt yourself to be happier. Because it doesn't work.
I've cut. A lot. I'm not proud of it, and I have the scars to remind me of it. But the thing is, they're scars instead of fresh cuts. I haven't done it for years. I'm living proof that it's possible to quit. And there are so many others like me. So drop the knife before you do something you'll regret, before you dig so deep that you've dug your own grave. I don't want you to die. No one does. Not even you, even if you think you do.
You are not alone.

Also, if you're my watcher and think this "poem" is random, it's because of my new interest in Tumblr and this blog that I came across. [link]
If you have a Tumblr, watch the girl's video and leave her a nice message, okay, loves? It could mean the difference between life and death for her.
