I dont want your love

Dislike your attention

Do everything I can

To push away your affection

Boy get the hint because

I'm not going back in time

To when you treated me like ****

Rainy day
Soulless Dec 2024
The seasons never cease to change

Flowing as I sit with my hood down

In the rain washing away unjust notions

Cold little drops kissing my skin

Breathing deep this wet wind

Imagining it erasing all of my sins

Feeling the healing mist

As my pulse thuds in my wrist

About love
Soulless Dec 2024
Senseless

People tell me falling in love would be

Senseless

Saying it only leads to heartbreak and

Shame

Ruining friendships that'll never be the

Same

What a shame

But if love would be senseless

Why do people fall everyday?

Is there an unspoken rule saying that

It's ok

To finally choose to change

A rainy day in December
Soulless Dec 2024
Outside it is cold and wet

Muddy puddles cover the ground

As I wait on this icey blue bench

To be taken to the warmth of my home

Where I'll be safe and sound

"Bullies"
Soulless Dec 2024
Laughing internally

As three boys ask for my number

In a dumb attempt to bully me

They think they're the smart ones here

Trying that right after school

Though my parents did not raise a fool

Those wannabe "bullies" should go be

Busy worrying about finals instead of me

Traumatic
Soulless Dec 2024
Traumatic

The teacher assumes the final will be traumatic.

Does she even know what that word means?

Perhaps she does not so it seems.

Traumatic

I believe I have experienced trauma before

From people, family, and simply from me

Causing me to hide behind a mask they cant see

Mother, dearest
Soulless Dec 2024
Mother, dearest

I think you pretend to love me

You live so far away

Leaving your lost child to watch

Watching for a message that never comes

Why does it never come?

Why do you say you love me but never try?

It hurts you know

Being ignored by you could make me cry

Compared to my brothers living there

I wonder if perhaps you simply don't care

"Little girl"
Soulless Dec 2024
Your precious little girl

To you that's all I'll ever be

Though I confided in you

Back when I was questioning

I figured myself out

But for now, I will sit pretty

Because I'm my papa's little girl

Whether or not I want to be
Soulless Dec 2024
Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

So many different people seem to be inside

So many different preferences refuse to hide

Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

I only have one person in which I can confide

A disorder or a sickness? I couldn't guess if I tried

Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

Tarot cards
Soulless Dec 2024
My tarot cards told me

My life's choices all ****

To change my path before

Things actually get too rough

They told me to focus more

On myself particularly my

Quite possibly declining

Mental health
Soulless Dec 2024
Mum tells me that high school doesn't matter

The bullies get old and fat and the bullied get rich

Only 20% of the emo girls could actually be a witch

If only she knew how wrong she is

Classes don't matter but people do

Holding on to the closest who care 'bout you

Worrying about who to take to prom

I've got many different options to choose from

No, I'm not popular, and by many I am scorned

high school
Soulless Dec 2024
Overthinking everything

Questioning life and losing friends

Wishing to never face them again

But in the end, this is high school

Everyday
Soulless Dec 2024
Blue skies drowned out by overwhelming grey

Shaping your impressionable minds like clay

Telling you how to act and who to be day by day

Screaming at you for ever feeling this way

But you're tired of people always leaving

They never even seem to stay

Loneliness envelopes you

Your soul dies

Everyday

Death-defying

Darkness underlying

People are dying

Stop staring at me

Why aren't you all crying

All those smiles are fake

A snake in human skin

Your eyes scream at me

A broken person in hiding

Cassian - Empty and Vain
Soulless Dec 2024
My name suggests vanity

Which doesnt quite fit me

An underlying emptiness

That fills me with stress

Until I happen to realize

That Cassian means both

my name
Soulless Dec 2024
My friend wants me to change my name

They decided to use the same

A decision that has lasted for months

Brushed aside by one of short days

No longer may I be Onyx

Merely a shadow hidden by the sun's rays

Laughing at myself

Laughing at myself
And how I forgot caffeine makes me sick

Of all the ways
I could've woken myself why's that what I picked?

A brief nausea as
Exhaustion rests behind my eyes

Reading all night again
Could quite possibly bring about my demise

Perhaps some sleep
Would be healthier than obsessing over pages

Of a novel
As time goes by sitting for ages and ages

Hey there
Soulless Dec 2024
Hey there, sweet stranger

I see the way you hide

Bottling everything up inside

I read your words over and over

Knowing you're just on the verge

Of finally breaking apart

So let me protect your heart

I see you, sweet stranger

And all your works of art

I feel your pain deep inside

You never need to hide

Not from me

Agree
Soulless Dec 2024
Sleepless nights

Leaving bags under my eyes

My acquaintance looks up and sighs

Leaving me unsure of how much he could surmise

Til of course, an energy drink is placed in front of me

Little old me who isn't allowed to have caffeine

His stare seems to say that I look like ****

Well, I cant help but agree

My own version
Soulless Dec 2024
I wish I could write a poem about love

But I have only experienced loss

I wish I could write a song suited to my voice

But I keep running out of words

I long to put someone first

But I've never felt absolute joy

So I'll write my own kind of poem

That I can sing out loud

Perfection is not of importance

I feel less lonely now

Worthless
Soulless Dec 2024
Sometimes I wonder what might happen if I accept what I should be

If I identified with the same gender as my pathetic little body

I wonder if I would be happier and maybe a bit less confused

If perhaps I'd never heard the terrible slurs others had used

I wonder if I could make myself like wearing skirts and dresses

If perhaps I could accept the name I had been given at birth

I wonder if perhaps If I were normal others might see my worth

Or perhaps that is simply the main issue behind it all

Maybe I really am worthless after all

My ex best friend
Soulless Dec 2024
I had a best friend once

Who told me things friends should do

She said they held hands so we did

She kissed me and said it was normal

Slow danced with me during worship at church

Sat on my lap while the pastor said his piece

Told me friends loved each other so I tried to

Until middle school me found the older girl lied

Beauty without a Beast
Soulless Dec 2024
People tell me that I'm out of touch

That my head is stuck up in the clouds

Though my feet are on the ground

Truthfully to me the world is too much

I'm happier with the nerds in the crowd

Buried nose-deep in a book is how I'll be found

Never looking up even when you yell loud

Like a  Beauty without a Beast

From me to you
Soulless Dec 2024
When I was younger

I made a plan for my life.

To find a husband or a wife

To have some kids and live happily

But now that I'm older, who would want me?

I've looked at myself in the mirror, I know what they se.e

I feel so skinny, hopelessly pathetic, weak, and overwhelmingly ugly.

Knots in my stomach keep me from eating even when I should be hungr.y

My clothes feel so out of place, and outdated, I can't even hope to dress snappily.


People bump into me

Invisibility; my "superpower"

Their fault but they always expect me

To be the one to have to feel bad and say sorry

Well I'm sorry you had to know pathetic little me.

Though I truthfully hope you have happy holidays and

May all of the presents that you might receive be all the craze

I hope that all your wishes come true, so have a merry Christmas.

From me to you

Restless
Soulless Dec 2024
A restlessness can be found in

A quiet night that felt too loud

Feeling eyes on me with no one around

A cord of darkness seems to bind

Trying to sleep; to sever the ties

Listening to the coyotes howl

Until the sun finally chooses to rise

The littles are on the prowl
Istg my sibs wake with the sunrise

Proud
Soulless Dec 2024
Knocking on the door

Fragile knuckles on cold metal

Unable to find warmth

Lacking of any worth

Hidden in the crowd

Alone with everyone around

Someone else wears my crown

Wish I could say I was proud

Smoke and Mirrors
Soulless Dec 2024
A sunny day

That's what they see.

A smiling face

As they stare back at me

Children are meant to be seen

But not heard

So then why do I yearn

To simply let loose

And scream

Smoke and mirrors are all

That they really see

Clever old bot
Soulless Nov 2024
Old AI chatbots are absurd

Before I even said a word

Cleverbot was hitting on me

Would've liked a conversation

About all the simple things

Weather, perhaps?

But that bot had a one-way

Ticket to crazy town

Full of sunshine and mishaps

Together the world might be fine

Press play
Soulless Nov 2024
Life feels way too long

Like my playlist of 600 songs

My mind is way too loud

Like in game of hide n seek


I wish to be found

Loneliness is all I know

Calming down by breathing slow

Smiling when I wish to frown

Swimming in the ocean just to drown


Lost in a deep dark nightmare

Shying away from the latest jump scare

Closing my eyes and hiding away

Wondering if life will be any different today


My life is on pause waiting for someone

Anyone who would search for me

Just to come and press play

Blanket up to my neck

Gruesome nightmares haunt my daydreams

Tell myself that none of it's real

All is not as it seems

Drown
Soulless Nov 2024
I remember all the times

It almost ended

How without my knowledge

My body defended

Itself from my very own mind

When the waves

Pushed me down under my limbs

Refused to surrender

And I swam back up to save my life

Life
Soulless Nov 2024
What is life's purpose?

Can it be defined?

Are we meant to live

Only to finally die?

Are we meant to grieve

For all the ones we've lost?

Are we meant for happiness?

If so perhaps I can be calm

But at what cost?

I dont know anything

You love arent always what you do

I'm a good liar

But maybe that line isn't even true

I can't help but remember when

Flower petals were a sign of innocence

Until one by one they chose to fall

When I was young I used to fit in

But now I stand out most of all

I remember when I had friends

But now I have none by my side

I remember when I could stare at the sun

But now away from its glare I shy

A poem for Evanescence
Soulless Nov 2024
Plugin my headphones

Set my Spotify on shuffle

Sit in a few seconds of silence

Anticipation comes from waiting

The song finally plays and

Evanescence graces my ears

I just wish that someone would

Bring me to life

In need of an explanation

I was sitting quietly

Because it's what I'm best at

But I just had to ask

Out of everyone who spoke

Why did y'all enjoy

The youngest's poem most?

Was roughly ten years old

Teacher
Soulless Nov 2024
I saw a teacher cry today

And I'm not quite sure how to feel

I sort of always viewed teachers as stone

Always there but never truly real
Soulless Nov 2024
Honey, I'm home

Just kidding

Well not really

Gotta say I'm glad

To be back

I'm exhausted

But way too tired

Ta hit the sack

And all these people

In my head

Seem ta view me

As a friend

Well that's a first

Anyway this's never

Been my specialty

I prefer free verse

The body needs a break
Soulless Nov 2024
Too many thoughts are flowing

Too many words are growing

So before they spill out in the wrong way

And leave a bad taste in our mouth

We have decided to take a short break
Soulless Nov 2024
I'm honestly mildly offended

At the words I have just read

However, I have to admit

  I partially agree with the

Things that were said

Maybe I need to grow

A backbone

And be myself

But its easier to be

Somebody else

- Rain
Soulless Nov 2024
I want to write about Rain

Because I know he's shy

Never thought a kid who's dyed

His unruly hair would be

So frightened of people

That he'd start to cry

But honestly

He's been through a lot

And is one of the strongest

People I know

Though he's way too good

At going with the flow
