Katie Lathrop Poems

The darkness is all around me,
I see nothing but the dark,
I hear the voices,
But i am not listening to them,
...

The blade my drug,
it goes deeper and deeper in to my veils,
there is no pain only anger,
the blood flows down my wrist,
...

The pain up and down my arms,
all of it was harm,
scares and cuts up and down my legs and arms,
no one will help me,
...

Peaces of shattered glass on the ground,
My fist clenched blood flowing down my hands and wrists,
My rage overpowers me,
I can't take it any more,
...

I take a deep breath,

tears are running down my face,
...

I cry out,
But no one hears me,
I scream,
But it is only a whisper,
...

Why do you do this,
judge me,
hate me,
I have done nothing to you,
...

I love the blade, it's my only friend
I hate that it calls me
I must not listen
But I still come to it's callings
...

a rose
beautiful but deadly
the sweet smell of it will tempt you
red like crimson blood
...

white light around my soul
pours in and fills the black hole
a peaceful feeling with bliss
i sigh in reave
...
