24/M Not much to say. I'm a kid whose biggest poetry inspiration was Robert Frost and kind of lost his way on the path of poetry. I'm trying to rediscover that which I once cherished, in hopes of better understanding who I am.
I found my death in Comfort's warm embrace Her body pleasing to my longing soul I deeply drank from lustful, parted lips As I drowned in her toxic, blissful scent I sought Her out when Sorrow cut my veins And dying from His torment, sought relief Her claws grasped tight around my welcome throat And dragged me down to lower, darker depths And as the light of life within me fled I found a certain humor in my fate I sought out Comfort, fleeing Sorrow's pain But found myself choked by that which I sought

Depression's Bedfellow
The physical eluded Abstract is what remains Apply it and discover The life within your veins The knowledge deemed forbidden The shame of gods above Now claimed as one man's treasure Fits him like a glove It wraps around his neck It chokes him with delight He reaches out for help But none in fading sight

Gods and Goddesses Up in the sky If you’ve any mercy You’d leave us to die This world you have “gifted” Is twisted and cruel Am I to say thank you For this awful cesspool? Gods and Goddesses I’ll take no blame I did not consent To your bitter game I could ask, “what’s the point?” But I won’t waste my breath For even the faithful Are rewarded with death Gods and Goddesses I mean to offend With nothing but scorn Are these words penned I spit at your “kindness” I curse your very names Quite simply, **** off Leave me out of your games Gods and Goddesses Come and do you worst Bring hellfire and brimstone And Plague to this earth I warn you, don’t cheat us Give us this death Unless you wish to prove Your mercy’s bereft. Men and Women The time is nigh Reject the gods That reign on high Their power wanes While ours waxes strong **** these false idols They do not belong I beg of you people, Heed my own letter Let’s show these weak gods That we can do better

Condemnation
Happy New Years to all ‘Tis the end of the year One more chapter is closing, But a new one starts here As we look forward To the good times to come We also reflect On what this year was done I hope your past year Was not full of sorrow And if so then I offer The comfort of tomorrow Bring in this new year With smiles and cheer And hopefully people You find very dear. I’m getting long winded So I’ll just stop and say Enjoy yourselves people Happy New Years Day!

New Years
Life seems so pointless Until she says those sweet words “I love you Daddy!”

The Reason I Survive
For a portion of my life I’ve lived Inside this little box Where everything I do is safe And this tragic life can rock But fate, it seems, had other plans And took it in her wake And now I sit, weak and exposed And feel like a mistake I can’t seem to remember now A time when life was good The future gets no brighter Only harder to endure I miss my box, where everything Was perfect and exact Where nothing was ever scary Where nothing ever attacked. So as I curl up in a ball And let the fear sink in Don’t pity me, nor rescue ….. for I fear I’m dead within.

I Don’t Want to do It Anymore
Happiness deceives. True joy can only be found In a life of pain.

Misery
Follow the leader Get in line Don’t run ahead Just march in time Please remain calm It’s just a drill The hardest part’s over We’re over the hill Don’t ask questions Trust in the plan Shut the **** up And get in the van It’s for your own good Mother knows best Just keep looking forward Only the dead rest...

“Authorities”
A glowing warmth A growing cold A joyful youth A man grown old A winter’s night A summer breeze A violent birth A death at ease A memory gained A family lost This is our tax Our final cost

Life Debt
A readied pen On empty pages Writes the lives Of countless faces Of rich and poor The small and great The pen takes note Of each one’s fate Their peals of laughter And tears they shed All words spoken And thoughts unsaid It is sad that the lives Of us and our neighbors Will become nothing more Than some ink on paper
