There is an uproar
in my heart
I am a binary star
with both stars fighting
each other
The white side
was always
submitting;
The black side
was simply too strong
But now
there is an uproar
in my heart
The white side
wants to change
the way I act;
The black side
wants to stay the same
There is an uproar
in my heart
The white side
gathers followers
to reinforce its demands;
The black side
is still too strong
There is an uproar
in my heart
The white side
grows more impatient
and wants to overthrow
The black side's
reign
There is a revolution
in my heart
screaming and reaching by SaliviaBaker, literature
Literature
screaming and reaching
The child inside is screaming
since I can remember,
I am reaching
with my broken arm
to let my silent screams
be heard,
but the eyes on me
can only watch,
and the mouths surrounding me
have no eyes to see.
In the void that is my home
the roots holding me
are tight around my neck.
Once more with feeling by SaliviaBaker, literature
Literature
Once more with feeling
to die
is not a big thing
but to live
is the hardest task
try not to die
before you die
it's not enough
to be alive
feel with every part
of your heart
feel love
feel pain
feel happiness
feel sorrow
feel the warmth of the sun
feel the cold of the ice
feel you
feel me
feel everything
just feel
feelings are the greatest gift
you'll ever have
Maybe pain doesn't hurt by SaliviaBaker, literature
Literature
Maybe pain doesn't hurt
I cannot imagine
a life without pain,
what would I be
without it?
Sometimes I think
I even like it
Pain gives me
the right
to feel bad,
with pain
I have a real reason
to feel bad
I seek pain
probably
so I can finally
rid myself of the guilt
to feel bad
but these doubts I have
take that away
Still I like pain,
it's the only real thing
that is present
of me
in the real world
A pit of seething anger
lies beneath an ocean
of calmness;
As liquid ice
it exists
without life
within.
A sudden spindrift
may appear
as another ocean's wave,
it hurts
The ocean
convinces the world
it's peaceful,
but monsters live
in the pit,
melting it
into sadness
a mess inside
with broken feelings,
ocean of tears
troubled
by an invisible storm,
red knives
flying out of my mouth,
helpless eyes
stirring wounds
sword as backbone
driving knights away,
lonely maid
boneless legs
hidden under the table,
fear
run over by an ambulance by SaliviaBaker, literature
Literature
run over by an ambulance
What's worse?
a past
that put you in darkness
or
a time
you had
that keeps hurting you
my path is unclear now
the past is hunting me
for the first time
it changed form
from a stone that drags me
down
to an animal that tears me
apart
I'm scared
for the first time

Another spotlight on her life.
Her parents screwed her up.
No privacy, no weakness allowed,
High expectations and a clear role defined.
"I was conscious not to make the same mistakes"
- You cannot escape some things
they are subconsciously -
"No! I didn't make those mistakes"
As if there weren't enough
Another spotlight on my life
My Parents screwed me up
Emotional abuse
from my father
speak and get verbal abuse
from my siblings
don't speak and get nagging
from my mother
My father is mentally ill
My siblings were jealous
My mother did everything right.
