when my fingers crawl back
to where they left behind tally marks
when i feel my insides turn to ice
and shake like earthquakes
when there is no distinction
between relapse and recovery
when i am afraid
wide-eyed and reckless
i try to remember why i set down the
blade, left the slice
where i couldn't touch
my insides anymore
i am trying to resist the siren's call
of metal, distorted reflections
i am trying to be as strong
as everyone says i am
i am not as strong as everyone
says i am, only as strong
as i can be,
i do not know how strong i can be.

i can hold my breath
i can bite my tongue
i could stay awake for days if that's what you want
be your number one
i can fake a smile
i can force a laugh
i can dance and play the part
if that's what you ask
give you all I am
i can do it
i can do it
i can do it
But i'm only human
And i bleed when i fall down
i'm only human and i crash and i break down
your words in my head
knives in my heart
you build me up and then i fall apart
cause i'm only human
i can turn it on
be a good machine
i can hold the weight of worlds if that's what you need
be your everything
i can do it

semicolons
i made it through napowrimo, that would be why i've been very absent lately.
they are secret poems, i do not think they will ever see the eyes of an audience.
it taught me a lot about myself and how i write. success?
(i have to say, i enjoyed writing a poem about x-men. that was fun.)
go look up the semicolon project.
.
trying to stay on top of things, but it doesn't seem to be working.
(slowly making my way through my inbox. thank you, loves.

...I am no real use to anyone, when it comes to words anymore. Only, that I can and maybe could not ever know how you are feeling or what you are going through, but in some slight way that last line resounds with me so I will try and cling to that slight understanding. You are no one but yourself, and I can not claim to know who that is. But you cover all with beautiful words, and I am tired of silence, so I will tell you that you are something more than what we can know, us here or out there. You are trying, and that is more important than anything I can say.
