26/M/Jamaica Words Of a Worse Off Young Man
somewhere there's a party you're not invited to but the little red dress will gate-crash the venue desperately trying to cover more than it reveals it will have a better time than ever you can imagine until disappointment reveals it clothes a mere mortal not some Hellenic goddess a mirage of alcohol a signal of distress somewhere there's a party you shouldn't be invited to full of danger, anguish and an end to innocence

little red dress
It really is beautiful on this night The sky is clear, the wind is refreshing And a dead man is writing poetry Well not exactly poetry, and he's not exactly dead More so dead inside, expressing his feelings Of which he has many, sometimes too much He really is the wonder of humanity Essentially removed from all thoughts of living He exists purely as a matter of fact But he's not depressed or sad even He's accepted this, a dead man walking.

Dead Man's Soliloquy
Rain down, celebrate my inadequacy Small strips of my torn down legacy Colors of my blood, sweat and tears That have all accumulated through the years Stick to my skin, cover me whole Sink through your skin, take control Cover the floor, cover the wall, it’s all I see Your reward for destroying me Is all this confetti.

Confetti
Bubbles float to the top, perfect crystal spheres Crushing blackness swallows me whole, nothing to see or hear I know you’re wondering how I ended up in this deep despair You see, dying a silent death was never really something to fear It’s 3:30 am & I’m alone, riding my bike along the seaside Stars shining brightly in this cloudless night, nowhere for them to hide Glistening wet sand, being swiftly left behind The lack of noise, perfect for my cluttered mind One step closer to the end , and I no longer feel my heartbeat Cold, wet, sand wrapping around every inch of my feet No one needed to tell me that the water would be deep Tears mixing with the ocean, it’s now the water’s secret to keep Falling deeper, losing consciousness, letting the current carry me The darkness is beautiful,so soothing when there’s nothing to see This is it to me, but you maybe thinking this can’t be But this is exactly what you think it is, this is suicidal poetry

Weight of the Ocean
Abuse of the flower comes as no surprise, It’s easy to take for granted, Something so appealing to your eyes.

Abuse of the Flower
She keeps her feelings tucked away, Like her hair, behind her ear, before a kiss, It sometimes comes undone, but it only makes her more beautiful, As if such a thing was even possible . Nothing is more reassuring than her presence, Nothing more rewarding than her smile, She smells like the earth after rain, Ironic, her eyes gleam like lightning in a quiet storm. She is all that is good in this world, She soothes your soul with just one word, Like a cool autumn breeze she relaxes you, Her hugs, the definition of kindness, the embrace of an angel. Her raven color hair absorbs all light, That then shines from her heart, She lives within your dreams, Because that’s the only place you’re not alone.
