Eric Jul 2023

Yesterday
I had a panic attack
I thought I was going to die
The day before yesterday…
I wanted to.

Today I had two panic attacks
I thought I was going to die
But the day before yesterday…
I wanted to.

I finally started treatment for my mental health yesterday.

Middle name

Eric Jul 2019

Middle name

I guess you could say I'm at a loss for words
I'm shattered in-between 2 worlds
Both teeming with vibrant love and beauty
Whatever decision I make one will be overrun and turn sooty
And I'll never be able to love myself again
Myself I would forever disdain
Nobody deserves this kind of pain
But pain has never been my bane
So let's say pain is my middle name

My Hell

Eric Jul 2019

My Hell

When you're not ready
Love comes knocking
When you are ready
Love holds the door shut

Why I Write

Eric Jul 2019

Why I Write

I write poetry because of the sense
The understanding of my thoughts I gain is immense
I never walk away tense

Paradise

Eric Jul 2019

Paradise

Take me away to paradise
A place filled with colors like yours
Help me forget the pain in my chest
Take me to where I can finally rest
And stay with me
So that I can find the paradise within your eyes
And finally be whole

The Game

Eric Jun 2019

The Game

I had my first dream in a long time about you last night
I enjoyed it, I woke up feeling bright
Still getting a grip of the dark and turning it to light
But that's the name of the game of Life
