Quit Blowing Up My Phone
My head being blown up
Just like my phone
I can’t take the pressure
What did I get myself into
I feel like I’m going crazy
With an urge to yank my hair
And slam my head
Against a wall until it bleeds
Scream to let the pressure out
And sob to release the weight

My Poet, Lost at Sea
I’m starting to feel
Less and less poetic
Like a part of me
Is slowly being drained
But not replaced
Hollow and shallow
I cannot not be a poet
For it has grown to be
A huge important part of me
Assisting in who I am
And what I want to be
But I already feel stranded
Far out in the sea

Heart
I gave you
My heart
Now I’m scared
You’ll take it
Run away
And break it

Kinda Happy
Feeling kinda happy for once
It feels like a dream
And I’m scared to wake up
May 2019 · 624
Wish You Were Here
There’s a place on my hip
Where your hand would fit
A place on my neck
To lay your head
Nuzzling and cuddling
In bed together
Permanent satisfaction
You and me forever
Love you Romeo

Haiku: Messed Up
Messing up scares me
so much, I’ve become paranoid
Which messes me up

Phobias (10w)
Panphobia
The fear of everything

Oudenophobia
The fear of nothing

Agony
Screams echo
Down the halls
Bouncing on and
Off the walls

Pain and confusion
Lace the screams
Except no one can hear
Through the mask of glee

Too deaf to hear
Too blind to see
The pained cry
And agony

Lost
The uncertainty
Is killing me

No plan
For my path

No stone
To carve

No road
To ride

Lost at sea
No light house to guide me
His name branded
On my mind
and heart
Even 6,022
miles apart

Forever a smile
On my face
Forever a laugh
In silence’s wake

Damned Dam
Crying

Keeping thoughts at bay
Cracks and overflows

Remember me?
Hello
I remember you
I don’t know if you remember me
But I know I’m not really special

It actually kind of hurts
You left a huge mark on me
But you actually couldn’t give a crap
about me

Yes I’m hurt
No I don’t care
You have your reasons
And I respect that
I just wish I’d known
Sorry, this isn’t really a real poem...

The Life of a Photographer
Pictures hang on the wall
None of them with me in it
For I prefer being
Behind the camera
Than in front of it
I’m happy seeing others happy

Broken
Feet on the ground
Head in the clouds

Eyes always glazed
Knuckles grazed

Back hunched
Head slumped

Rough and calloused
And full of malice

But really just a broken boy

Confusion
I can never tell
Anxiety from reality
Writing this
Means the beginning
Of the end

•~•~•

The beginning
Of a new chapter
In my life
It’ll start a little lonely
And maybe stay that way too
Or maybe I’ll change
In a good or bad way
But it’ll be change
And that’s scary
But I can make it through

•~•~•

The end
Of an older chapter
That began
Just yesterday
Or so it feels
A chapter
I regret
And wish I could change
But it is too late now
It is still a chapter in my book
And nothing can change that

Innocence and Ignorance
I long for the days when
Ignorance was bliss
And
Innocence was kind

Waking up on birthdays
Used to feel full of magic
And special
Like that day
Was mine for the taking

Now
Everyday is the same
Dull and boring
Boring and dull
My birthday was two days ago and even I forgot...

Crap

Winter Days
Snowy ground
Lies untouched
Perfectly perfect
Made for us

Out the widow
Snow falls
Fire burning
Widows fog

Red nosed
In the house
Rosy cheeks
On the couch

Curled up
In a sweater
“How are you?”
“Never better,”
Haven’t seen snow in 8 years. I miss it so much! Winter is my absolute favorite season. What’s yours?

Nightmares
Nightmares plague my sleep
And my reality
And all the **** time
I have sleep anxiety/ nightmare disorder, sometimes insomnia. So whenever I do get sleep, it’s never restful. I often wake in the middle of the night, scared and shivering, but I don’t remember why. I’m just scared. Then, throughout the day, disturbing images flash randomly through my head. I guess they’re from nightmares...

Jealous?
Are you jealous about someone who isn’t yours?






Yeah, me too...
Eyes are supposed to be
the windows to the soul...

I think they’re really
Just funhouse mirrors

Taking something
And twisting it
Into something that is not

Knotted Thread
Where am I, you ask?

Lost in the clutter of my mind

Thoughts all jumbled up
Like a spool of tangled thread
And just as thin
So close to breaking

Fingers get caught
And slowly turn purple
Once released, permanent damage remains

My conscience plays the fingers
My mind the thread

Pull to hard,
the thread snaps
Don’t pull enough,
and it’s forever knotted
I want to die

Peacefully, on my own terms
Without pain or hurt

On my own
So that no one

Has to bear a loss
Though they wouldn’t be missing much


•••
Trigger warning ⚠️
(again, just in case)
•••


I often ponder
How I want to die

Do I jump off that balcony,
Or cross that street?
Do I use this knife,
Or just not eat
I’m sorry if I offend anyone. I really needed a quick release.

I want to go home
But I don’t know where ‘home’ is
What defines your home?

Thank You
Thank you
For the likes
The loves
The follows
And the comments
It motivates me to keep writing
Espacially when I really don’t want to

What I didn’t expect
Was all that I’ve received
In this amazing community
Of (mostly) appreciative artists
So again
Thank you
As a thank you to everyone, if you have any questions for me, feel free to comment or message me them. I’ll do my level best to answer all the questions! :)

Religion or Science?
Did it start with a bang
Or did it all just appear
Is it to science or religion that I must adhere

Religion is faith
Science is facts
I don’t know the right track

For I was raised with religion
But told science


Which one I believe is still in question

Thank You For Your Art
I draw my poetry
From the depths of my despair
As many other poets do

Sadly I can’t draw them
From my highest of highs
Like other brilliant artists

To all poets
Thank you for sharing
Whether it be a shard of light
Or a wisp of darkness
It all takes power
To turn pain and happiness
Into art

Perfectionist
You do not strive for greatness
You strive for perfection

But perfect
Isn’t perfect enough

You don’t need a break and are not allowed mistakes
For you are strong enough

Smile
Say goodmorning
No matter the lie

Don’t cry
Sit straight
Don’t yell
No rough music
Be a good girl

For we only want the best for you

•~•

I mustn’t settle for greatness
I must strive for perfection

But don’t stop there
No matter how delusional it sounds

Breaks and mistakes are not tolerated
They think I’m strong enough

Smile
Say goodmorning
No matter the lie

Don’t cry
Sit straight
Don’t yell
No rough music
Be a good girl

Put yourself in the mold your parents made for you

Wait
I hope you know
That I miss you

The problem is
I’ve chased
For too long

The problem is
I’ve chased
Too many people

So for now
I wait
For a message
To see
What I
Really am
To you

Or so I’ve been told

But it’s the few true lines
That really touch the soul
