Backwards

poemswrittenbyateen:

Sometimes I think I was born backwards,
I came out my mother the wrong way.
The clocks reverse constantly
And all I can hear is the ticking;
The continuous ticking that sets my teeth on edge.
I hear words go past me backwards
And everyone expects me to be able to understand
But I can’t make out a single thing
And they’re staring at me,
Expecting everything
But I understand nothing
And I understand everything
And it’s driving me insane
I wanted to talk, to explain
But you wouldn’t listen
And you wouldn’t understand so what’s the use?
What’s the use of trying when in reality none one really cares?
I used to think of the past
And all the happy memories I have locked up in my head
And all the bad memories that roam inside my skull
And then I remember not to get attached to moments.
Good or bad they all pass.
Sometimes I wish I had never been born,
I should have stayed inside my mother,
Never to come out.
Being a human is getting too complicated.
Being a person is getting too complicated.
Being alive is getting too complicated,
I could be dead in a second,
Everything is so fragile
Everything is too fragile.
I want to stop thinking
But it doesn’t work
And the clocks are ticking backwards
And the words are written backwards.
And the people I should love I hate
And the people I hate…
I want to feel something
But I feel nothing.

I wrote this so apologies

“I’d get depressed, and that was the big one because I knew what that did to me: it made it so I wouldn’t get out of bed, which led to the ultimate thing—homelessness. If you can’t get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away.”
― Ned Vizzini, It’s Kind of a Funny Story

“..the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don’t want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lungs. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It’s mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time.”
― Stephanie Perkins

Darkness, Darkness Be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, Darkness hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness,long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right…
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
