poem a wrote on a cold winters day (unholy)

I want to go to heaven 

Loving someone takes effort, dedication 

Devoting your entire life, ignoring your own needs to serve others


If I could go back in time, I wouldn't say anything to my younger self

I'm lost, lost the lord, and lost myself


Knees on the floor begging to be saved

I beg and I cry and I scream

Preach to the angle paintings on my wall, tell them how I'm doing better

But they've seen it all, they know, and I can see the paint chipping off, showing their disgust


Summer when you're a kid, playing in the front yard, sprinklers on

Wasting water, everyone wants to return to childhood

Everyone wants to be happy, I used to love everyone I meet


I write, and I cry, and I starve

I want to destroy myself, chip the paint off my skin and show the world my bones

Show the world what happens to selfish little girls who love too much, they forget how to show it

Lacking self-awareness you can’t tell when you start thinking for yourself when the love in your heart turns to violence


You’ll grow up, and you’ll change 

You’ll become a rabid animal stuck, in a cage of someone else's flesh 


Feel my ribs and tell me I'm holy

I would give my soul just to feel worthy 

Bury my body in angel wings, dress me in blue lace 

I want to go to heaven 

Loving someone takes effort, dedication 

Devoting your entire life, ignoring your own needs to serve others


If I could go back in time, I wouldn't say anything to my younger self

I'm lost, lost the lord, and lost myself


Knees on the floor begging to be saved

I beg and I cry and I scream

Preach to the angle paintings on my wall, tell them how I'm doing better

But they've seen it all, they know, and I can see the paint chipping off, showing their disgust


Summer when you're a kid, playing in the front yard, sprinklers on

Wasting water, everyone wants to return to childhood

Everyone wants to be happy, I used to love everyone I meet


I write, and I cry, and I starve

I want to destroy myself, chip the paint off my skin and show the world my bones

Show the world what happens to selfish little girls who love too much, they forget how to show it

Lacking self-awareness you can’t tell when you start thinking for yourself when the love in your heart turns to violence


You’ll grow up, and you’ll change 

You’ll become a rabid animal stuck, in a cage of someone else's flesh 


Feel my ribs and tell me I'm holy

I would give my soul just to feel worthy 

Bury my body in angel wings, dress me in blue lace 

Let everyone who loved me say goodbye, let everyone who thinks I’ll end up in a better place lie


Cover my scars in white lace, kiss me goodbye 

“Everything is fine in heaven, but I'll never get to know”
