    Ask for help

    They tell you,

    But when you do,

    They refuse to give it,

     

    Be yourself

    They chant,

    But when you try,

    You're told to hide away. 

     

  • flicker, flicker

    The light flickers in my bedroom

    as I brush my hair;

    I remember that theory that it’s someone dead trying to speak to you,

    I’m sure it’s just a thing from movies.


    The light flickers again in the bathroom 

  • Hello Summer

    Hello Summer,

    I see you on the boardwalk;

    In every screw, and plank, and scratch,

    Your every nook and my personality match. 

     

    Hello Summer,

    When you're sad, your hot tears shed

Loves

  • The sun

    you're not

    leaving yet. no,

    i'll glue your limbs to the pavement,

    lower your waving hand,

    tell you

    something to make your eyes crinkle

    again.

    again,

    again,

    again.

  • Demons

    If I'm being honest,

    I'm not sure I'll survive,

    These demons,

    I battle,

    Fighting for my life.


     

    They find me at my weakest,

    Where no light shines through,

  • Lost

    I’m not sure which is worse, having my hair torn out everyday and markers drawing ‘makeup’ on my face, having a dog chew on my arm and a toddler chew on my leg.

  • What a mother should be

    I'm tired of the yelling,

    I just wish that it would stop.

    And I'm tired of the lectures, 

    Saying all I am is wrong.

    I’m tired of the bruises,

    And these voices in my head.

  • Poetry

    By Rae

    Daybreak

    I’m afraid of the dark

    And the art

    I haven’t made

    The places not stayed

    And the overstayed welcomes I

    Know not to inhale the stratosphere keep

    Both feet on the ground

    And look straight ahead
