Sleepless nights
aloneless nights
peaceless nights
all end the same
overthinking leads to bleeding
depression ends with no eating
episodes seem to be the only time i can sleep
A child born in a ward
A baby who cries,A mother who tries,To quieten the child,To hope him more mild,He sleeps.
For the family, delight
Cronos and Rhea, better known as mother and father.
More like corrupt, wealthy leaders of the town rather,
Cronos was the former mayor and still held a power,
Rhea had not had to work an hour.
Our perceptions are irrelevant we are aware that they are not important
We are deceived that the world is making a change
But I feel like these officers practice with my face in the gun range
Dear Atopic Eczema,
As you take away barriers of my skin
I have built up walls around my heart
Before I knew that I was Pangea,
You break me into continents
I am confusing.
Like a deep sea current.
I change direction, rapidly, swiftly
Left
Then right.
My mind a sea of spiraling thoughts
"Hello Landen", wait, that won't work.
"Greetings fellow---", AUGH.
"Hi Landen." That sounds so lame.
I give up.
In the process of me writing to you,
I always go through this process.
Unhealthy love comes with a toll,With your heart locked in a cage getting shocked with a pole,When cupid substitutes the arrow bouquets,You can't fix it with chocolate ferrero rochers, You see, but
Because I love you...
I will protect you
From anyone
or anything
that I am able.
Because I love you...
The girl in the mirror looks at me with sunscreen still on her nose,
A smile plastered across her face as she realizes her mistake,
I turn away from the mirror and try to rub the sunscreen in,
Depression depression you bring me down you make me sad you make me drown.
Drowned in emotions so deep so dark, they melt my soul they break my heart.
The cuts, the burns, the tears feel great.
Remember when we talked about coming of age
Well it's pretty hard to see
when I know
Imma be the same height
When The Sun Comes Up in a Bright New Dawn
Or The Clouds Roll By And I Just Want to Yawn
I've Still Hope Inside Left to Carry Me On
When I'm Out in the World Wishing I Could Fly
For so long I suffered, a prolonging pain
now I feel something that I cant explain.
Its like a fire, a light, a burst,
but for some reason it might be worse
worse than the sad, the mad, the rain
I want to look at you and say all the things that are stuck in my throat
I want to say how i feel when i'm close to you and how i just don't wanna leave your side
Isnt it crazy how rapidly things change
From calm to insane,
Like life is a game,
Or the other way around.
Catastrophe comes storming down
Then suddenly,
Its nowhere to be found.
Light, how I ponder
It's surreal, knowing you came from so far and against impossible odds for you just to end up landing upon my skin.
It makes me think, much passed the brink of my intellect the answer must be
Have you ever found yourself in the state when you're asleep but still aware of your surroundings?
It's kind of like limbo between two worlds, not fully involved in either of them. But what if you were constantly in that state?
I panic between doorways
I count the breaks in stairways
to rules I always adhere
and I do this out of fear
fear that I'll lose my sight
that it will punish someone dear
Instant Gratification is ruing our nation,
but this information is on a need to know basis.
I have created and started activies before.
This isnt new.
My problem was never finishing.
Im starting over to a new beginning.
Everyone needs that once awhile in there lives.
Slit my wrists and hope to die
Not for one more second do I want to have open eyes
Leave this world eternally
Sleep forever, oh so blissfully
No more worries to keep me up
No reason to give a fuck
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was one of my very first poems I ever wrote, please bear with me as it is not all that great.
The curtain seems nice and beautiful
Filled with graceful colors
But there are a few things that seem unusual
Like a biscuit without butter
People come to ask her questions
And ask for some advice
it goes like this:
the clock reads 7:06am
cloudy skies, morning mist on the window
i am swallowed by silence
clod toes, cold nose, cold heart
the coffee warms my throat,
warms my toes,
I once had a dream about shopping for a mom.
You could choose whichever you wanted
And if you weren’t content with your purchase,
An exchange or return could be arranged
As long as you had kept the box and receipt.
I'm from a city where everybody strugglin
Rap,comedy,sports the only thing that seems to be important
one, moment that changed our lives.
as you told me the news
Holding my hand
Two seconds for it to sink in
I let the tears fall
three days before you left
walking away from us leaving
These shattered Memories I hold
Are only Fragments of the things that I truly remember.
For as of now, nothing feels real
Today women have a voice, a place,
And we are recognized for not only our beauty,
but our intellect. Our contributions to society.
But when we walk down the streets,
Something I knew existed, but never tried;
I was scared of the feeling its might stir inside;
Fear of being judged, is what first comes to mind;
But far is something I refuse to let linger in my mind;
What if I became a philosopher?
Would it change me and open my mind?
Will it teach me more than I have learned in high school?
I long to understand the minds of many popular people
The gym, so musty and cool.
The weights clanging against the ground.
The buff guy, I thought “what a tool.”
The hydraulics hissed, and gave out a sigh.
The tap-tap-tap, of feet on the treadmill.
L O V E
Those four letters spell love
but that's the only love I see.
In the society we live in
divorce has become such a normalcy.
If I could change anything?
Change is always around us
Change is everywhere
It happens every day, but sometimes we hardly notice
The temperature, the shape of the clouds, and change even arises from tectonic plate movement.
I've only had one boyfriend
-we went out for three days,
he liked me but I didn't like him back.
I only said "yes" so he would shut up during History class
Hopeless
You turn left;
Brother against brother.
You turn right;
Man against wife.
You fight for what you believe in,
But at what cost?
You know it’s right;
Sometimes I just lay on my bedThoughts and memories swarming in my head.I try to remember the good times I've hadBut they somehow slip away, always making me mad.
They call me the actress Because I like to speak I’m wild and daring Not calming or meek But beneath this blonde hair dye Stage make-up of rose Are thoughts much more deep Than what people suppose I see my own faults Though you would never guess I
I am skinny
gawky
average
unappealing in the most appealing ways.
When he entered my life
I was lost
broken
and he was my light
Told me I was beautiful
amazing
For tweleve years we're taught a standard
everyone is taught the same
To solve for x or to remember a historical name
But this connontation of learning isn't all it's cracked up to be
My First poem. This Should be simple right? i want to indent but i dont know how to work the site.... i' ll end this with a hi.
She sits at homeThe four year old girlCrying, hidingFrom he she once loved.
He once had warm eyes, A big smile,Everytime he would see her.But now everything changed.
thighs have a testimony but those stories can not be shared
too many disguise their cares
and I rather be shy than shed tears because I have fears
of being penalized for my thighs
Where do we go when we go?
Who can we ask?
I don't know.
I know who I should
But I don't think they would
Tell me cause I want to know.
Education is a beautiful thing
But only if you’re doing something useful
Useful
What does that mean?
It means business, science, and math
Or so society says
“What do you Study?” is what I hear
