We're quite a like Staring down at the sea below No one looks back at me above The sea line submerges in waves If I were to drown, what a thought Consumed in darkness and frost Lost in thoughts, the seas and the waves Move me into somberness The slow descent Upward ascent Into the sea of dreams Where no one hears my voice Water moves without cause I live without a reason We're quite a like

We're quite a like
I've found it increasingly that the things I thought I was missing out on are nothing special. The people, their lived experiences, their actions, thoughts, and feelings are all the same. There is no new dimension or added experience to care about. People are so breathtakingly simple, their flaws, their quirks, their obsessions are so easily displayed. I struggle to not show my contempt at their nature yet and what of it?

What of it?
The further I go, the less I believe What's with the need, for me to deceive No one even cares, about all my screams I don't even care, enough to believe NOW! I could sing a song And you should sing a long Come on let it out, don’t try to be strong After all, they’re just going to hear it wrong What did they tell you? That home is where the heart is? Life gets better if you give it a chance? But what if misery has made its place Laying its laurels to rest in our space Everywhere you go IT follows Beating that drum Flowing in your blood That’s the siren’s song Of misery’s embrace So sing along you dumb ******* It’s okay I’m ******* disgrace too

What a disgrace
Cast in my shadow is someone else Neither darker or lighter than myself Seeing unhappiness in everything else Why would I ask for any wealth? When my heart is emptier than death The wincing shock in my chest Leaves me without rest Shattered illusions Ripples on a wave Glass embeded in my flesh Gushing bleeding turning and grieving All for a chance to escape this steel mesh

Mesh
A poem not original The wind whispers a howl deranged Her breath slows, its time A flood of emotions, only artifical Regrets loom knowing no equal Soon her mind disappears Eyes flash open full of fear Death closes in oh so so near A silent rustle Filled with her wordless hums Why had she given herself up? She sees things more clear Than from her fears The task at hand complete Her life fading from her feet She wishes she hadn't Even though her pain knows equal She wishes she'd known To fight for her right To be unequal But now its done She is done She's gone In that moment With tears in tow She'a left us

She is gone
I am shocked by the serenity surrounding me Finding closure was no longer a fantasy The calm that stills the sentient ripples of consciosness The departure of lonesome thoughts and inebriation A hole in my chest that could not be put to rest Yet it all faded away in a moment, a short moment of release When the knot in my chest was at its least All those defenses finally undone and the tears I've wanted to shed finally ran With the noose on my neck loose around my chest I can finally lay to rest this morbid festival of pain I want to live but not for another's deign but for my own will and worth I will live once again

Living as a choice
Lend me an ear Or a helping hand For a destitute queer Left upon these lands Roaming with fear Of an ever striking hand Man is so frightful Yet women are deceitful A modicum of grace To exit this rat's race Ascending to the clairvoyant light All I see the is the darkest of nights The misty reflection upon the pond The dark side of the moon that grows fond I don the most dreary of expressions Omissions of derision and deceit A young lass still ******* on her mother's **** Yet the pain that weighs on her empty heart Knows no bounds, home is where the heart is And in her heart misery resides It lays it laurels of pain to rest in her being Every where she goes it follows The beating of a drum, the beating of her heart, and the siren song of misery's embrace For darkness is fond of company and mist is its greatest ally Lend me a hand, and I'll greet you with a grim countenance

Grim countenance
Be still my beating heart Roaming through my chest Ba-dum, Ba-dum, and pop just like that my heart is breaking The pain ascending into my lungs and breath leaves my brain How foggy a night, how dark is my soul, I'm broken, I'm broken, I'm broken I beg of you my beating heart please stop beating

Beaten
The endless cycle of forgotten memories If I have a soul, its an empty hole. Nothing fills my illness I can only suppose that I've always been this miserable I wonder what was the purpose of making damaged goods Was I an accident on the assembly line? Damaged goods better off wasted Born broken ain't that ***** Forced to repeat the pain endlessly The universe is cruel to have created me I don't know why I'm here or what I am I'm so miserable I want to ******* end it Regrettable is the only word that echoes in my head Pretending to be alive when I was born dead Living is dream I would like to end I can't communicate from a cage, yet I lock myself up anyway I am but a distant illusion constantly alluding to death

Distant illusion
The further I go the less I believe What's with the need to deceive No one cares enough to hear Anything but my swears I don't even care If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it Did it even fall? If you're drowning and no one sees it Did you even die? If I died on a Friday I'd be found on a Monday Actually that's joke It'd be much longer I could sing a siren song and it would be heard all wrong Better to be silent That'll make it more shocking and humorous for me
