17/Transmasculine/in my head (he/him) Lackluster poetry written to express my feelings, nothing more than that
A second one You'll never see Hopefully Oh, hopefully. I don't think you hate me I hope that I'm right I don't think I could handle If I'm wrong. Though it might come as a shock I don't want you to feel bad I don't want you to feel sad The last letter Was a falsity Uncirculated And ultimately Untrue. I don't know the truth I don't know how I feel I don't know what I feel I don't know if I feel Or If it's real. If I could rid you of your guilt Of your shame Of my faults Pressed onto you By a selfish Unworthy Unfathomable individual I would. I'm so sorry Truly Truly sorry For how I feel And how Even now I manage to act a victim As if a scornful act Was committed against me And that this letter You'll never see Is my final plea. I know I know You don't see me Or anyone In that light And I want you to know It's alright. I never wanted this to happen I never wanted anything To get to the point Where I can't help solve The problems I caused. I won't worry you anymore. I won't make you feel guilty. I can't. I'll do Whatever And all That it takes To keep it closed; Seal the wound of my tears And cauterize it So no one has to look At such an unsightly thing Ever again. I don't care if it's unhealthy I don't care if these are steps backwards As long as I can stay with you And be the way we used to That's all I need.

A Second Letter to the One Who Rejected Me (9/20/19)
This is a mistake A poem A letter I shouldn't write. You’ll never see it But I always will. The feelings dissolve on my tongue Like a bitter pill. I am not in love with you Not in the sense That my heart shattered into shards When you paid your pence. I was aware Of the fate to await Yet I spoke my heart To receive an empty plate. The feeling was delayed For a time a smidge too long, but Then the dams broke, And out came a flood. If this were on paper I’d slit my wrist And drip the blood If not for dramatics; If only to make you Or someone Hurt the way i do. Maybe I do love you And maybe i should not I know you just don't love anyone But i'm sorrowful i could not Make it Into your heart The same way You made it into mine. If you ever read this poem I hope it makes you sad. I would be glad If you felt sad Truly bad For me.

Letter to the one who rejected me (9/15/19)
I want to write a poem That will be able to touch someone's heart That will make them feel The things i felt When I wrote it. They say If there's a will There is a way But i don't possess that will And i havent And I don't know if I ever will. Will is a foreign concept Will as in want As in need As in passion As in power. I seem to lack it More And more And more And more often. Its likely normal To feel this way And have times when there isn't a will So there isn't a way But i don't care I hate it I despise it Nothing matters as it should And every waking moment is a chore. If i could restore my will I would But i can't Because i have no will To find that way, And it would simply be easier To pass away.

Will (9/15/19)
I want something awful to happen to me. I do! I do I do I do! I don't. I don't. Do I? What do I want? Why do I want? Why does the desire for anything other than eating sleeping and reproducing plague my mind? I want to understand pain I want to understand suffering. I want to understand humanity And what it means to be human. Am I human? Are the moral values I possess enough to keep me afloat in the sea of thought? No. They aren't. To be flushed out is my fate, To be forgotten with time. I want to be remembered. I am afraid. So Very afraid Of being alone. Will this matter when I die? Will this become a piece of literature for future generations to dissect? Surely not. Ah, How lovely that would be. Is this a poem? What is a poem? This is simply words On a page. Is it writing? What is writing, anyways? Does this matter? Will I get an answer? Won't you answer me? One day I hope to hear it.

Vacuity (10/9/19)
The white snow falls Onto the dull blue heron, Turning it white. Making it better. The previous heron was filthy Unworthy to be gazed upon By anyone’s eyes. The snow which fell upon The dull blue heron, Dirtied from the mud Was truly a miracle. To think that nature Would even touch that disgusting Atrocious being- No, not being. It is simply less than that. Not a heron at all, Let alone a bird. Barely able to be called a creature, And yet nature still purified it. What a lovely story. The dull blue heron walks Covered in snow, The waves of which Never stop. Snow falls, and falls, and falls, And falls. The mind of the heron Is clouded. Birds bite into the dull blue heron Like bitter chocolate. The heron cries. Dull blue tears, Fitting of a dull blue heron. The heron is no longer blue. The heron is now worthy Of being called a creature. The heron is white And has been drowned, As nature And everyone Wanted. If it hadn’t happened, It would have been better For the dull blue heron To not exist at all.
