Paradise
Eric Jul 2019
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

My Hell
Eric Jul 2019
When you're not ready
Love comes knocking
When you are ready
Love holds the door shut

Middle name
Eric Jul 2019
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

Why I Write
Eric Jul 2019
I write poetry because of the sense
The understanding of my thoughts I gain is immense
I never walk away tense

The Game
Eric Jun 2019
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

The Day Before Yesterday
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.

— The End —
