I am going around in circles It's too dark everything is too tall; all the same. I am going in circles People telling me I'm worth it around, around, around But I still deny it. I am going in sane; what a sought-after word circles, circles, circles I can't seem to walk in a straight line. Am I in? There's a tunnel of light going, going, going that I want to run into. I am.. A bit dizzy; I feel sick in, in, in I want to get somewhere I Unable to move from these loops am, am, am I collapse to the ground, out of breath.

I...
run like bitter breeze flow in her waves of guidance and let your wings rest

haiku 0.1
Quietly my hand  caresses the fire with joy; I watch my hand burn. My body drowns in the ocean's gentle feathers; emerged in slumber. My hand reaches for the stars, trying to grasp the untouchable air. Energy flows through  your presence, travelling from your very own core.

Break my bones; cut my throat. Pull me open, learn the ropes. Breath me in; taste the fear. Shank my skin; stand and cheer. Kick my head; let me bleed. Unbolt my veins; enjoy the read. Gouge my eyes; punch my face. Wrap me up in your embrace.

gore
One tick, one tock I drag around myself in sleep Breathe in, breathe out A heavy sigh escapes from me Tomorrow becomes today I try my best to stretch the night Until the sun comes up Until i can wake up My body's tired My mind is too Still in a state i drug myself Shadows forming around the corners of my eyes My lids are heavy but my mind is aloof A void A vast space leading to nowhere but is everywhere Every night I cover myself with it

Sleepless
Unfinished notes, Unheeded lessons, Distracted mind, Stolen glances, Fantasies in the day, Dreams at night, Chasing a lost cause, Lovelorn. Two years later, I’m still only two benches away from you, Yet you are a thousand miles away.

Unrequited
Stars laid out before me on this ever haunting eve, seem to laugh in all their glory, while I can only grieve. For myself and for others, and all with our disease, our silence is solace for the ones we'll soon bereave. I've laid my last brick and the wall's standing proudly, a monument to the filth which always surrounds me. It is me. And I'm feeling kind of good again, knowing the bricks keep all safe from my sin, that with time no one will remain, bringing a day with the ending of pain. Sometimes I struggle to peak over my wall, jumping and screaming to no one at all, wondering if anyone is out there still waiting, and knowing they aren't is sometimes frustrating. Of course there is no one left anymore, and saddened as I am, that's what walls are for. I did this with purpose and now I can bleed, with no one to be hurt by my dying deed.

Before Suicide
All of our cards are on this rotting table they are soaked in our blood but we play them anyway. A sick game, you like to play. A bad bet, as you like to say. My cards are turned right side up everyone can see my hand except me. A misplaced trust, I had given you. A poor chance, the cards I drew. We play for the big prize, you say it's fair chance that you won the bet on me. Yet we both know I did not know the rules of the game.

Our game
The cup of coffee sits still on the table the dark liquid boiling, bubbling the steam suffocating; filling my lungs. My hand around its neck; my nose inhaling the toxicity. my mouth falling from the sky; drowning in the ocean. Dark liquid surrounds my mind; i have lost it. My fingers grazing the magma, an unfazed gaze on the wall where the sun twirls. Slowly sinking in the ground, a late morning; early afternoon. The cup of coffee sits still on the table the light liquid freezing, static the steam condensed; watered-down foam.
