Sick
Ayn Dec 2019
Dec.28.2019

I feel sick.
The nauseating waves of emotion
flooding my body in one continuous motion,
as if it wants to drag me out to its seventh sea;
a glacially boiling reverie full of flash-frozen icicles.

The past five days have built block upon shadowed block,
and I'm losing sight of my own deceptively delusional reality.
Why have things taken such a sick and twisted turn towards my hell?
I want my ******* knife, I want to see my one and only solace,
I want to see my vibrant blood, full of self despising vigor.

Kernel
Ayn Feb 2020
The kernel blows up,
Popping it’s solid shell,
And expanding into
An amazing...
And delicious form.

The kernel
Of a computer
Is the same,
Except the astounding amazingness
Comes from the interactiveness
With a hunk of silicon and copper.

Disclaimer: please don’t eat any circuitry...
My mind is full of IT stuff today...

Thankfulness
Ayn Nov 2020
I’m thankful for this past year,
It taught me to calm down;
Loosen up a bit.

I’m thankful for those that hurt me,
You taught me forgiveness,
And gave me a wake-up call.

I’m thankful for my ability to change;
To become more social.
Otherwise life would have been hell.

I’m thankful for the life I’ve lived,
The progress I’ve made,
And the luck I have had.
It hasn’t been a great year, but we still need to show gratitude for what made an impact on you and changed you. If ur reading this, m, that second stanza is about you.

Ayn Jan 2021
Confusion whips up all around me;
A desert of the unexplained.
Words and phrases once meant to free
Now trap me in my pain.

A scarring biting nervous wind;
Shards of memories meant to maim.
Time is all I need to mend,
But my silence became a dying flame.
On the spot, just me writing without pause. I only used backspace for misspelt words. It’s a challenge more than anything.

Time

Time is a relative  concept
I mean, have you ever
Felt like you teleported
From 11:00 to 1:00?
I have.
It’s an awkward mistake
That i all too often make.
Doing out the math, I have 3 hours until I should get up, and 4 until I have to (it’s 3am now) I should jufrfgdf

If you can't tell, I fell asleep while finishing it up, I just remembered it existed and I really badly overslept...

Things
Ayn Dec 2019
All things can be broken.
From the Titanic,
To this spiraling pencil,
Nothing is indescribable.
Relationships included.

But not all things can be fixed.
A scarred and broken body may heal,
But it’s mind will never correct.
The memories will always haunt,
Old habits may die hard.

And maybe,
Just maybe,
A love for pain
Still resides.
All poetry comes from emotion, and emotion never goes away completely.

Aqueous Emotion
Ayn Feb 2020
Ebbing and flowing freely,
Unrestricted by man’s chains.
Nothing can ever stop this flow,
Or the luminescent lunar body
That raises these soulful waters.
You cannot control who you love, so make up for that by loving them fully. This poem is also about just how emotion changes in response to outside occurrences (outside of one’s mind)

Under My Thumb
Ayn Dec 2019
Love is controllable,
I had it under my thumb.
Way back when, I liked someone,
But I switched my object of obsession,
In order to avoid imminent depression.
But That was just an interest; a fancy,
Now what I have is beyond my control,
Not only that, but it’s in a realm I cannot see.
So I’m stuck in this desolate, claustrophobic hole,
With no latter or rope to speak praise of,
I want to send myself a white dove,
And control or remove this hellish love.
True story, I was interested in a girl in 6th grade but I switched my interest because she was popular. Then I had an interest in the one I switched to For awhile. And now It’s a different person and I can’t control it...

Po~ et
Ayn Dec 2019
I am a poet,
Who is only 16.
I am:
****** in speech,
Lacking a lot of street smart,
But in fact rather book smart.

A 16 year old boy,
Who watches cute anime,
Is incredibly weak to cute things,
Is buying an acoustic guitar...

And listens to metal music.
KORN, TOOL, Slipknot, and Disturbed
ICE NINE KILLS, shinedown, and Atreyu.
These wild bands help me get pumped up.

This is who I am, and will be
forever, if time allows
This is just me.
Another unknown poet.
Apparently poetry is becoming popular once again but IDK. I hope it is because it is a wonderful art that everyone should try. Also the bandsI listed are awesome, check them out on YouTube or spotify.

To make smile.

Then believe in the me
That believes in you,
And your dreams can come true.

Here to dine.

Lines are drawn
Upon the sky’s
Deep blue lawn.

Was just a pawn.

Where’s the third?
Who knows.
Red lines are drawn upon a lawn,
It’s time to pay respects
To the long lost pawn.

Right there
Ayn Nov 2019
I'm here,
at a table.

A white tablecloth,
holding a poster
sits in front of me.

This precarious
group
of four
finally finishes
a frustrating part.

A wave of
euphoria
swept over all

jumping up
I looked across
the white expanse
and noticed
something
new

She's right there
Who?
I didn't pay attention
beforehand

we lock eyes.
She suddenly becomes

nothing...
It's been a year and I still don't know how she felt then. The mysteries of this world...

This isn’t right.
My actions
Are devoid of light.
I run bluff after bluff,
So apparently,
Living life isn’t hard enough.
I act all high and mighty,
But if I’m asked in earnest,
I’ll get an early start on my nightly

Breakdown.
It’s not going very well in my world. So I’ll keep lying and acting all fine.

Lay

Lay
As I lay in this field,
The sun shines its rays upon my skin.
A shadow is created upon the
Opposing side of my delicate body,
Darkening the once golden grass,
Now degraded to a lackluster bronze.

My shaded half is becoming uncomfortably cool,
Because Jack Frost nibbles at the exposed skin,
Seeing it as a wonderful midmorning snack.

My better half, however,
Shines with a soft, unobstructed glow.
Filled with a calming, serene warmth
Generated by the ever shining sun,
I continue to lay in my solitary love of myself...

But as I lay here,
I realize that I don’t know
Why I despise all of myself so severe.
Laying in the field was fun, but my clothes ended up getting really *****...

Identities
Ayn Jan 2020
Names aren’t important.
I don’t wonder who the thief is by name,
I wonder with faces instead.
They flash by and I think “what if it was this person?”

I should leave a note, saying hi to them.
I really want to become friends with them,
It is naïve of me,
at 17 years old,
To want a friend.
But thats the one thing i want.

Not love,

Not money,

Not possessions,


A good friend,

A real friend.
Ok disregard the age thing. Over the summer I wanted to write a book, 1 person would narrate in poetry and the other normally, but boy do I **** at writing narration. The cigarette poem is also from the same book draft thingy.

My mind is writing
From a odd feeling state
But it’s power is dwindling
And my drowsiness is kindling
For a inferno yet to come.

Raison D’être
Ayn Feb 2020
Why should I write?
Many reasons present themselves.

To not end my life,
Prove that I’m not good,
Release of emotion
To refrain from bleeding

But now,

I write to love
And show this love
To that unwatching eye.
I think... yeah, that title was the phrase I was looking for. In a way it is the opposite side of the same coin with an ultimatum. Think about that for a bit.

Two Separate Existences
Ayn Feb 2020
A push back to reality,
A play full of comity,
And a couple of songs,
Brought end to the calamity.

Still in disarray,
My body will pay
For tricking me
In such an awful way.

Where I might go?
I do not know,
But I feel that I’ll start to
Follow my blood’s flow.
Two different existences
That were not the same person,
But I thought of them as one.
How foolish of me.

To see this sight once again,
strikes me with a heartwarming awe.
I am alight once again,
the blue flame has consumed me again,
but it changes as does the tides,
into a vernal green flame,
flowing with flowery life.

It has changed a lot since a year ago,
even why I have done it.
I feel much better, but I wish
I really do wish,
that it didn't have to be solved like this.
At least I treated myself correctly, unlike what the old me would have done.

Little Red Cook Books
Ayn Mar 2020
The cook books lie
In the realm of bakers,
Those who pass are to die
And meet their makers.

The time draws out
And the sweets stop arriving.
We will cry and pout,
But the bakers keep on thriving.

The shops have closed doors,
So we skip the baker forts.
The acidly cold rain pours,
But neither side makes retort.

In times like these our town begins to drop,
We can only hope for the demise
Of the dreaded baker shop.
An efficient leader had a “cook book” of his quotes which supported his ideals, and brainwashed the population into getting inspired and “cooking” a masterful industrialized workforce. I mean he was the worst dictator ever to exist (but not the most famous), Mao Zedong.

Why should I let you
Wind up my dreams for me?
Why should I follow through,
If you won’t let me be free?

The trees sit through health and blight,
The forest sits among the trees,
But I could never see the sight
Because you dropped me on my knees.

You promise salvation
But you’ve led me too deep,
And I know, with trepidation,
That the only salvation is in my sleep

Why should I let you be the light
When I only see you as a blight?
It’s not a message to the sandman, but it kinda involves the sandman. It’s 2:30am and I need to get to sleep. Nice talking to you all again!

Repulsive figures
Glaring from the sidelines.
Living on a lost road,
Looking sidelong at a toad.
The arrow fades to blue
and I’m looking at you,
Yes, both of you.

A selfish desire lead me astray,
I wanted to help her in any way,
But I think I’m really just gay.
He looked at me when others looked away,
He has always helped make my day.

But it disgustates my narrowed mind
To think I’d like a dude in this kind.

An indecisive bi,
At least I should try
To make a **** decision...
Before my arm feels division.
Disgustated (made up word): to make something disgusted.
Yikes. It’s not that I hate gays or anything at all, love is love and I’ll support it wholly (unless it’s parasitic). I just never wanted to fall in love with dudes myself. Now I’m here. I wonder if I said something to her about this would it be awkward? Probably.

Living a lie,
wanting to die.
Saying you're okay,
but you are breaking down;
hour by hour, day by day.

Suddenly,
swiftly,
and silently
swept out
into the sea
of your fruitless lie.

Now only you will ever know.
You reap what you sow.
A riptide can pull a swimmer far out off the coast, and sometimes really fast.  I lived a facade until recently, so people were surprised to find I was deeply suicidal at one point. Jan.10.2020

Or an article that
Appends additional anxiety?

A hand that let go,
Allowing me to fall into the flow.
Another that grabbed on
But it’s grasp now weakens.

The fear of knowledge
Overriding my yearn for it,
My fear of the answer
Increasing beyond finites, bit by bit.

I wonder if something like that
Is really the truth,
Or is it just her hidden tone
That venomizes my mind
And removes rational thought.
Welp I hope,
Much like a dope.
And for now,
I’ll painfully hide my mope.

Of this silvery hope
Lies untainted,

Residing upon my face,
Turning it into

To come crashing and crumbling down,
I just needed to become the silver
That slips through its openings,
And rise into my rightful freedom.

Always running

Does in fact exist,
As an auxiliary unit
But the math brain is my init.

Two sides of the same coin.
Think rapid, like gold circuitry,
But more blunt than a butchery.
Actual notes this time? Has Adrian gone insane?

The title is a play on words, i put quarter instead of razor bc 2 syllables and two sides of the same coin.

The term ‘init’ (said “in it”) defines the first process that starts in a unix-based computing system.

I’m taking a break from poetry.
I’ve been forcing myself to write lately,
And it hasn’t been fun.
I’ll still read some poetry,
But I probably won’t be posting much.
Only when an idea is to vivid not to write,
I will post it.

I’ll be back to posting at some point.
It could be tomorrow,
It could be next March,
I have no clue.
But I will be back.
For those in my ***, I’ll still message and talk, I just can’t write with as much passion as before, so breaktime. No I’m not one of those “I’m not getting views so I’m quitting.” I’m just not feeling like a half decent *******, more like a full on *******.

But not comprehension.
Q’s stood for questions. A’s is answers. Someone said to me at one point “I find boys who write poetry really distracting.” I don’t recall the name of who said to me, I can’t even remember what they looked like or even where we were.
