Strange LonelinessIt's hard to justify loneliness when you're in love
When there's a "his" to your "hers"
People tend to think,
"They must be complete"

But I miss you both too much
And sometimes I miss you to the point of remembering
Remembering what it felt like to drown in solitude

But if he's really all you need, please just let me know
Because I'm tired of being hurt
When you both say you're my best friends
VictimizedAnyone can be the victim if they want it bad enough

I promise

Because if you look for ways to be hurt, you'll find them
If you look for the slightest move that may be a snub, you'll find it
If you look for someone who will accept she's hurt you, you'll find her

I promise

No one is hurt more than those who wish to be the martyr
Than those who wish to be the coddled, wounded soul
Than those who wish to be victimized

Yet, darling, no one will ever be able to beat you at being the victim
Sleepless SleeperWind me up and let me go
And I will sit still

So still

A ragdoll on a shelf somewhere
With glassy eyes
And dreams of sleep

So still

All the passersby give me a nod
And say "I understand"
And I want to say, "No"

Because my feet ache from standing still
And my eyes ache from opening

To sleep, I whisper
To sleep
To Night, From the InsomniacHello, Night
Familiar old friend of mine
I wish I could meet you later
Haven't you noticed the time?

Hello, Night
Decked in your moonlight gems
Let me sleep, let me rest
I'm tired of 4am

Because I can't dance in the darkness
And I can't sing without sleep
Why would you let me close my eyes
When it's in corners that you creep?

Hello, Night
Oh foreign friend of mine
Sunlight's sliding through the cracks now
Guess I'm leaving you behind

Hello, Morning
Whispering on the morning dew
I'm sorry I can't love your light
But Night's left nothing here for you
EmotionalYou see a lot about abuse nowadays. TV, billboards, and ads that make you cringe. Sometimes you just sit and think, "Wow. I'm glad I'm not the victim of abuse."

And then, suddenly, you wake up one morning and discover you have been abused. You've been abused for the last nine years.

I've always been on my toes with abuse. My mother instilled it in me—a deep-seeded need to defend everyone. Look out for all the signs! Self-abuse, domestic abuse, verbal abuse. I knew all the symptoms and I could tell anyone in a second if they needed to clear out as fast as possible. Yet I still managed to miss all the signals in myself.

I guess emotiona

The Quiet Pen

:iconichoosetolookup:

It is funny how
A broken heart stirs the pen
Mine is now silent
:iconichoosetolookup:
Figured out why it's been harder to write poetry lately.

First time with a haiku!

So true!
I didn't even realize it was a haiku at first, which to me means you did a great job for making it sound so natural, instead of forced! :+fav:
