1. Save me, God. (Life is Strange)
[Quick Warning for Censored Language xD]

when i was younger, i always asked
questions -- meaningful questions about life
everyday life, after life
and God
all i wanted to know was
"What does God look like?"
my mommy never knew the answer
but then neither did my Best Friend.

seven years later, I turned 11
Best Friend and me played relentlessly
she was always there with me
even when
my dad never came home.

Mom never stopped believing,
hoping, wanting, wishing
William was out there waiting for her
in the hands of God
I almost asked again
"What does God look like?"
so we both knew where to find him
she only cried more for the memory.

I stopped believing in God
The moment my step-father walked into
My life, My home, My everything
He took my mother from him
(from me)
So I was abandoned by yet another
Since Best Friend left me
God would never let that happen.

i found her again
Like Best Friend before but not.
She had brown hair that touched her back
And sketchy clothes
Like the people step-douche chased off
i liked her.

i tripped on the stairway to heaven
because i wasn't supposed to be there yet
even though, it was my time
i tripped and
i cried because
i just really f***cking wanted to see William
God, Best Friend again

i only learned that
i fell because best friend was holding my hand
the entire time.

2. Unconscious (Life is Strange)

i told you to hide the gun,
before we found her.
She's scared, arms curled around legs
and sweat licking her freezing skin.
You can't see her
eyes are squeezed shut to keep the dust out.

They'd be gleaming in fear right now,
Chloe. i told you to hide the gun.

~*~

goosebumps pricking my skin;
needles piercing my veins.
skin crawling, eyes bawling
and i can't get the sounds of the gunshot out.
They echo, echo, echo across
the distance between us and him.

Too far, too late.
my blood is acid.
She is screaming in her grave,
for you, Chloe,
because I am too far to do it myself.

~*~

Rachel in the dark room,
Rachel in the dark room,
Rachel in the dark room
scribbled
across the walls. i can't see.
i can't feel anything
but the leather around my wrists
and the gag over my heart
screaming, crying.

i want out.

my vision is turning,
my mind too far out of reach to fix it.
to fix me.

Flashes create shadows
and pictures hidden away,
kept hushed up like a secret.
(i am his new secret.)
His words are nightmares,
his face a wound.

i knew him once,
but only the half he wanted me to see.

the other half is
what put me in chains
before it even came from the shadows.

3. an end (Slender: The Eight Pages)

//*****//
the thicket slashed at my knuckles
and slit my wrists, cutting deep and clinging long
until their leaves and twigs were soaked in blood.
they wore the red even when the shadows came
and swallowed their colors whole.

i could have littered the same path with pages
and pages and pages of blackened notes,
scarred with with burning burden of suicide
notes, ransom
notes, and death.
it couldn't have made a difference.
once the choked beam of the flashlight left
the trail behind me, it was gone.

the only evidence was the memories
the wind threatened to rip away from me.

4. How do you write?
;-;
I dunno how. I forgot.
It's been too long
So this is a poem that is inspired
by my inability to write words
on a screen
they're so mean
they make me want to scream.
This is a rap now
for NaPo
with crappy rhymes
I have no time
to fix them.

The End.

I’d heard he had started a fistfight in one of the seedier local taverns because someone had insisted on saying the word “utilize” instead of “use".
