Time Is Running Out

Time is running out.

What chases me is catching up.

I cannot escape.

I scream for help, but none arrives.

I am alone.

I am afraid.

I am out of time.

A clock ticks in my head.

Faster, faster, faster.

Time speeds up.

Time runs out.

I am out of time.

  • It Gets Better

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself

  • Besties

    Before we bonded

    Bullies belittled me

    And it broke my heart

    Because I felt it in my bones

    But now that we belong

    With each other's beautifully 

    Breathtaking selves

    Their words don't break
