Dead

You said it's forever,
But forever was just a year.
Heh.

Patience
Ammar Mar 2019
Being able to reason
with yourself
is the most painful thing ever
as you are
standing against
a brewing storm
of yourself
on your own.
I've always struggled with it.

War

War
There will be time
When I'll put down my arms
Lay my armor aside
Embrace the warmth, and live.

But until then,
gears up.

I saw the glow of your beauty
But I failed to see the glitter of your tears
And that's how I lost you.

Fiends,
Striving to drag you down,
And of their frustration,
You found it hilarious.
Keep on fighting.

Adhd is..
Ammar Oct 2018
Like living with a monkey,
monkey see monkey do,
Being distracted with everything,
Even when there's nothing.

Like having a hidden malicious hand,
Loves playing hide and seek,
Items seem to dissappear,
As if they were warped to another world,
By a magical hand in your head.

Like having thousands of voices pleading for your attention,
Yet you hear none,
Just unintelligible sentences.

Like you're always on a pill of joy,
Yet feel so hollow,
It can be a double edged sword,
As your awareness of others' emotions,
Is comparable to an infant's knowledge of the Lorem Ipsum.

Like having your psyche torn apart,
A battlefield,
When you're fighting for control,
You lay waste to your own mind,
Even if you won,
The exhaustion and lack of motivation,
is a sign of a pyrrhic victory.
Adhd is ******* exhausting, especially with a comorbid.

Last time
Ammar Oct 2018
Your scream overwhelms the soothing ambience,
Echoing throughout the room,
Tears dropping on the floor,
Yet is it mine or yours?

I promised you paradise,
Yet I showered you with wrath,
I promised you solace,
Yet I placed upon you an unimaginable burden.

Hilarious,
How a single pill could have prevented the calamity,
Regardless,
The Hour of reckoning has begun,
All the chances I've had perishes at the line,
The line that was drawn eons ago.
I swear this is the last time.

Withered

Left,
The happiness we reaped
Was left to rot
By an infraction that could've
Been forgiven.

Madness
Ammar Dec 2018
True insanity happens
When you are no longer
Trying to keep the voices out
But trying to make your faint voice heard
By a vessel that was once yours.
Have a great day!

Or with stories to tell?

Pills
Ammar Mar 2019
Popped two xans
Nicotine coursing through
my veins
kerosene flooding
my mind
yet if they knew
I'll be labeled as an addict
but in truth
who isn't addicted to
even a glimpse
of happiness
even if it's temporal

At times
these substances
gives sobriety;
a realistic picture
compared
to everything else
I'll be fine

Influenced
Ammar Jan 2019
At one point, reality was observed
With a revered gaze
Unfortunately, now
I would trade sobriety
For white lines.
All messed up in the head.

Mental instability
Is like being strapped to a chair
On a sinking ship.
And I've managed to cut myself loose.

Why do I not feel alive?

Together became further

Calm
Ammar Dec 2018
They say that I am devoid of emotions
Excessive calmness runs through my veins

But have you ever swam across an unfathomable amount of pain
That at the end of the sea, nothing can shake you.

Stars
Ammar Sep 2018
Seeking refuge from the deafening salvoes,
Apathy, anger, anxiety overran the haven created,
The haven constructed for the remnants,
The remnants of joy, excitement, and gratitude.

As the last bit of hope begins to diminish,
A sudden silence looms in the air,
When that anxiety, that anger, that apathy is clear within view,
The obsoleted notion of their danger becomes clear as day,
Destructive they are not; but desperate,
Desperate to be acknowledged and accepted.

The danger that once besets the haven,
Was an extreme measure of desperation,
Only when silence is imposed,
Only when they have gained the attention they seek so direly,
Only then will the feud for the psyche ends,
And a common ground can be found.

All it took was silence and understanding;
That spectacular quiet.
Happy Thursday.

Stand down

against my war
at one point
I know
standing down

Earphones

These earbuds
are my rabbit hole

These earbuds
shuts the screaming
from my soul

These earbuds
are my escape
from a twisted fate

Last stand
Ammar May 2019
When the last page turns
Will I go down like Leonidas
or Stede Bonnet?

Will I make my stand in thermopylae
or the gallows?

Rebuild
Ammar Feb 2019
Rebuilt, I have
Wiser, I became
Just, I believe in
Empathy, I spread
Yet
Fear, of losing it all again
I came far in this one year of my retribution.

Rummage
Ammar Nov 2018
The flame,
it was meant to guard
Yet it raged
Leaving ruins.

With only the void as company
Redemption is all I seek, hastily.
Guilt is one tough son of a gun.

War cry
Ammar Feb 2019
Things are not flying
as smoothly as it used to
the sky seems to fall
wherever I march
the poems I write
are war cries
as I get up once more
as I jump into the fray
once again
******* I'm exhausted.

Seeking remission
Ammar Nov 2018
Love is view as an intangible diamond
Once found, it is rarely released
Those who has yet to grasp it
Made haste with fervour.

Natheless
For the broken souls that once delivered woe
Self-redemption, the vindication from past mistakes
Would be greater than absolute.
Still looking

Just another face
Ammar Jan 2019
Who am I trying to lie to?
I told you I've forgiven myself
I've told my psychiatrist I've moved on
I've told my friends I don't blame myself anymore
I've even told myself that I'll do good.

But deep down, that's all just garbage
I still reminisce those moments
I still punish myself
I still have not let go
And everything still kills me.

Light
Ammar Sep 2018
Ashes,
The remains of a lost past,
The ghost of lost moments,
The temporal concept of life that never lasts;
haunting the daunted soul of the ******.

Embers,
The last seed of hope,
Flickering as if solace is dawning,
Guiding the soul through woe,
Pleading for catharsis;
a new beginning.

Beliefs,
Torn minds are transmorgrified into absolute paradise,
Where time extends beyond the horizon,
Where the non-tangible beings linger,
Where lost love can be found,
Where old memories can be relived,
Where time remains at twilight.

Messiah,
Waiting for the time of deliverance,
Dispelling the fabrications constructed by men,
Where false notions are spread throughout the land,
Only then, will those who are true emerge,
Only then, will the true form of peace can be found.

Loud ringing piercing the ears
But only a dream.
