Katty Briones Poems

There is a whole universe inside of me
But its being sucked into a black whole
A fiery pit of hurt and anger
For some reason I don't do anything about it
...

I am a mess
Covered in cheap makeup
And wearing hand-me-downs
That barely even fit me
...

My head hurts from all these memories
Of all these things said
About my choices and how they suck
I just dont see a reason to care
...

I remember that night
Like it wasn't two weeks ago
Your hands on my hips
Chemical breath on my lips
...

Your encouraging words move me
But I guess not enough to change me
And please just go preach to someone
Who will actually take those words
...

Now that I have you I can never let you go
I would be broken without you, love
My lungs reduced to crumpled up waste paper weak
Shattered like glass bones under my bruised skin without you
...

He tell me I'm beautiful almost everyday
And sometimes I almost believe it
And those times I feel better about being alive
I told my mother I would never lie to her
...

The only reason im still here is because im too afraid to give up
But my mind is pulling
And my heart is hurting
My heart is failing
...
