Zein-Khalil - Hello Poetry

I sink my teeth into my wrist Listen to the ticks inside my mind Pretend the bite marks are a watch Counting seconds, passing time Flick off the switch inside my head asking questions like Who am I, why this what is bliss How did it come to this Wander off in directions Guided by a light so dim Barely seen against the background of shattered thoughts so black and grim I often fear I am not worthy of the praise I receive

Incomplete, Finish this later

I sink my teeth into my wrist Listen to the ticks inside my mind Pretend the bite marks are a watch Counting seconds, passing time Flick off the switch inside my head asking questions like Who am I, why this what is bliss How did it come to this Wander off in directions Guided by a light so dim Barely seen against the background of shattered thoughts so black and grim I often fear I am not worthy of the praise I receive

I hang my coat I hang my hat I take two steps then I look back A mangled coat A fallen hat I place my keys Take off my shoes Stretch my legs Put on some blues Pour some scotch Light a cigar Sit in my chair Drift afar I blow out a ring It frames a picture An envelope on a table A hard oak table A stamp from back home A forsaken home From which I fled Left my room My desk my bed A good 5 years ago I Leave it there Let time repair The wounds which I left bleeding

Home is where the hurt is

I hang my coat I hang my hat I take two steps then I look back A mangled coat A fallen hat I place my keys Take off my shoes Stretch my legs Put on some blues Pour some scotch Light a cigar Sit in my chair Drift afar I blow out a ring It frames a picture An envelope on a table A hard oak table A stamp from back home A forsaken home From which I fled Left my room My desk my bed A good 5 years ago I Leave it there Let time repair The wounds which I left bleeding

I grind my teeth clench my fists bend my eyebrows and scream in fits I inhale slowly exhale regret close my eyes try to forget I sit and wonder ponder deeply contemplate sonder fade completely I am not here nor was i there I am a desert barren and bare

I am a Desert

I grind my teeth clench my fists bend my eyebrows and scream in fits I inhale slowly exhale regret close my eyes try to forget I sit and wonder ponder deeply contemplate sonder fade completely I am not here nor was i there I am a desert barren and bare

I split open my psyche scouring for ideas A novel way of saying how I feel All I find and see is gray with nought but uniform figures That tower over me and block the light Sinking deeper and deeper like a capsule swallowed into the gut of my mind A wretched thought clears the path Into a new enlightenment Bleak as it may be, I am empty
