An Upside Down Life

I look around my upside down room.
A reflection.
My face growing pale.
My emotions like the blood pouring from the razor cuts.

My mom begs me to eat with teary eyes.
My tears join hers from the depths of my jungle.
Nightmares consume my nights.
Nightmares consume my days.
Pills litter the floor of my room.
A pill for-
Everything-
Falling to pieces-
My heart-
Shattered-
The pictures of my past-
Tears like a rollercoaster across my face.

I yell at my savior.
Pills.
Another Jesus.
Another nobody
Save me?
I scream at the pain that is my own doing.
Blaming others is my last resort.
My only resort.

You see through tainted blazing blue eyes.
You see the beauty of life.
You see a reason to live.
You see happiness.
What the hell is wrong with you.
What the hell.

Cry for me.
Pity me.
Slap me.
Use me.
Hate me.
I don’t care anymore.

Take me out to the curb.
The garbage truck is coming today.

    WOW

    What else can I say? In the first stanza I thought OH NO a slasher poem, and although this is that a little it is SO MUCH MORE. You have put so much pure emotion into this poem I wanted to reach out and tell you things do get better. Hold on tight. And if you can write like this than you are most definitely not worthless or so much trash that needs to be taken out to the garbage can. Not with this talent.

    I love the way you take me on a journey through complete and utter hopelessness, pain and fear. Can I ask who the tainted blue eyes belong to......is it the mother. Is it she that should hate....?
    Thank you for a thought provoking piece....it makes me feel helpless.....I want to take away the pain
