FallingDownwardsUp - Hello Poetry

I simmer in the anger It surrounds me and Brings life to a boil Stretches the rubber band Pulls back on the string of the bow Hits the bottom of the bungee jump Gets ready to fire the catapult And SNAP It leaves in red hot flashes burning with built up resentment It snaps and cuts and hurts the innocent Rather than the stokers of the fire It slashes and leaves hollow emptiness In a space once burning with the desire to Scream Yell Lash Hate Thunder A space burning to let go.

Burning

I simmer in the anger It surrounds me and Brings life to a boil Stretches the rubber band Pulls back on the string of the bow Hits the bottom of the bungee jump Gets ready to fire the catapult And SNAP It leaves in red hot flashes burning with built up resentment It snaps and cuts and hurts the innocent Rather than the stokers of the fire It slashes and leaves hollow emptiness In a space once burning with the desire to Scream Yell Lash Hate Thunder A space burning to let go.

I miss the instant connection that we had Why was it just you? You, who through all your drugs and alcohol could still write a paragraph of beauty. You, who hid your intelligence under a layer of nonchalance. You didn’t know how happy I was then You knew that we clicked like a lock. But didn’t know that I’ve never felt that before. You know what I miss? I miss the ease of a smile around you The lack of a guard. The shared brainwave. I don’t have that here But the stars are here waiting for you to see And the roads are open for us to run, (even though we both despise it with a passion) And we can sit at a table in the cafeteria and talk about the wildest things but it’s okay Because they make sense to us. You know what I miss? I miss you.

You don’t understand how precious life is until you’re in a room filled with the strongest people you know, and they’re all crying over a life lost. The tears are contagious and the hurt never goes away as you feel the loss radiating around the room, trying to fill the once lively emptiness Life is fleeting so always make sure to email your grandma back go on that lunch date with your best friend tell the world how beautiful it is and never ever waste your time away.

You are the glass that I poured my heart and soul into But oh, you are much more fragile than glass You are the bomb that I worked carefully to diffuse But little did I know, you just released tear gas You are the salty stories that flow from my eyes in the middle of the night Stories of love, joy, and despise You are the burning anger I feel in my chest The feeling pushed down and repressed You are so much of me So how can I stand to lose you? As we stand on ships drifting farther and farther apart on the open sea The answer is as clear as the glass and as strong as the anger I can’t stand to lose you You’re the biggest part of me

how much of our beautiful kingdom is built on lies how many bricks would fall and crumble under the light of the truth how many floors are only solid when we don’t think about what’s hiding underneath them how much of you is just a story I’ve written in my head to distract myself from the reality of this failing situation So much of our beautiful kingdom is made up of lies The towers are collapsing and we are falling apart The floors are disappearing and the darkness of the dungeon is creeping in The sea is flooding and there is bloodshed on our shores Our beautiful kingdom is a lie A façade and oh it would feel so good to be free

If she was empty Would she still be there? If she was empty, would anyone care? If she lost the passion Lost the drive and the will Who would she tell? Who would see her through all that, And accept her still? Is she good enough? Has she worked hard enough? There's still a long way to climb from the bottom of the well There's still a long way to climb But it's because she fell If she can keep her head afloat She can survive But if she gives up and drowns, Who will know that she was even alive?

Sitting here, waiting Which is basically the equivalent Of grating My forehead Against a cheese grater. For seconds minutes hours. Soon, there'll be nothing left, I'll be an empty shell of myself. My bored tired pieces scattered all across the floors As I wait and wait and wait For something that I really should've ignored.
