I am a Slave
CL Fjell Mar 2019
My mind is a dismal plane
Of which no thoughts can escape;
Alas I lie here dreaming whilst awake
But can't illustrate the words I see
Or inscribe the sounds I hear.
Trapped here for eternity
In the hell I call my home,
My home I call my mind,
And my mind that calls me
Slave.

The Girl Who is "Depressed"
CL Fjell Mar 2019
"All ears to me, I have problems"
Says the irrefutably woeful girl.
She'll expel her lungs powerfully,
Informing those around her how
Obviously, terribly, depressed she is.

Her friends will know!
Her family will know!
Her cats will know,
and the dogs too, will know!
But do they really know?

Do they know she's waiting?
Waiting indeed for a response
Other than "I'm sorry",
More than those lackluster words
That even her cats could mew.

In her mind she's begging for love.
For attention.
For a purpose.
But instead of drive from this disposition,
She sulks, she whines
She drags others down.

Like a benign tumor
She worries all she infects
With her seeking gaze
And obligatory wretchedness.
So they too feel her discomfort.
So they too might feel bad for her,
Like she does for herself.

Worried one day they'll all disappear
Like birds in her winter
She doesn't realize she's
Always
Winter.
For the girl that is always depressed

Spring Flowers
CL Fjell Mar 2019
Spring blooms rainbow flowers
With it grows a sense of dread
Am I really in the prime of my life
Or is it that I'm already dead

Time
CL Fjell Mar 2019
Breathe in the fresh air
Smell the blooming daffodils
Feel the cool breeze on your skin
Watch all the critters scurrying about

Take it all in

Then realize
That as you blink your eyes

The fresh air will turn stale
The daffodils will crumble
The cool breeze will burn your skin
And all the critters will perish

So love those that love you
For they too will wither away

World so Cruel
CL Fjell Mar 2019
Hurry before it's too late
For soon he will not awake
Time is speeding so run
Fate is just a loaded gun
Waiting for things to go good
Bang! Shot you where you stood

Nothing is great
The world is cruel
So full of hate
Now I am too
Mar 2019 · 309
Eyes
CL Fjell Mar 2019
The eyes on me like bats on the ceiling
No where to run, away from feeling
Judged I am for every mistake
From this dream when I'll awake
I see you there with those eyes
Waiting and waiting and waiting
For the time of goodbyes
I'm new stop just staring and tell me what to do
Mar 2019 · 278
Mistake
CL Fjell Mar 2019
I've made a mistake
Left for my own sake
Now I'm alone
Beaten to bone
And here my heart does ache
Mar 2019 · 312
Certainly
CL Fjell Mar 2019
My mind is a blank
Is this what's it like to be empty
To be devoid of any creativity
To be truly
And most certainly
Soulless?
No imagination

Fleeting Memories
CL Fjell Mar 2019
Why can't I remember my past
Fleeting memories leave so fast

Like leaves in the wind
The numbers without end

One by one I can see them clearly
Still I can't hold them dearly

I want to remember what I was before
Was I happy, rich, lovely or poor

Who hurt me so bad that I can't remember
What made me- me, Jan. thru December
Mar 2019 · 218
Bi-polar
CL Fjell Mar 2019
For months at a time I feel
Like I'm on top of the world
No one can stop me
No one can prove me wrong
I'm my own self-made man
My core is made of steel

For months at a time I feel
Like I'm lying in my grave
With no one to care
No one to love me
Like no one is there
When my heart is revealed
Mar 2019 · 225
Rot
CL Fjell Mar 2019
Rot
Illness from within.
Still I wish to end
This rotting of my corpse.
If not with sheer force,
Let nature take course.

Aching and bleeding inside,
There's nowhere to hide.
All the yelling and screaming,
With feeble meaning,
It's taking its toll
On my fragile soul.

Dark is all I see.
Longing liberty
For the sight of Sun,
What's done is now done.

Life is Boring
CL Fjell Mar 2019
I don't want to die
Your love is a lie
You used to sing in my ear
I remember as I lie here
My life is repetition
Your face in position
Actions become past
Your kisses were my last
What's done is done
You were my sun
My life is boring
Brain is snoring
Why do I miss you
You hurt me too
I want to have fun
But instead I'll buy a gun
My head I'll blow
My blood it'll flow
I just can't take no more
My heart is so sore
No one is here
No one to hear
Feb 2019 · 476
Please Stop
CL Fjell Feb 2019
Stop!
Please!
End this suffering
You won't stop
The buzz buzz of the phone
The words, one after another

Begging me to stay
When I've told you
Go. Away.
I can't take this anymore
I'm not your doctor
Or your *****
So please see what I say
I'll say it once more
"Please stay away!"
He won't leave me alone

Bad Vision
CL Fjell Feb 2019
What a curse it is to be me
To see the beauty in the world
But to not truly "see"

What a curse it is to be blind
To all the waving limbs of trees,
The trees I have yet to truly find

What a curse it is to be eye-less
To all the death that surrounds me
In this life I wish to see, alas I digress.

Splitting
CL Fjell Feb 2019
I'm doing everything I can
To keep myself from going
Insane
From splitting pieces of my Soul
To everyone I care about

The Miner
CL Fjell Feb 2019
Once a miner
Was trapped in a well
Up he must dig
So, he dug very well

Dug he did do
For all the long day
And dig he loved to
But he had one say,

"I love to dig,
But something is wrong
Well's too big, or
I've dug far too long.

Once I saw it,
The top of the well
Glittering light,
Yes, that rang a bell.

Yet light has run,
Taken with my sight.
No more smiles here,
I only feel fright.

Ev'ry minute
Feels like forever.
One day I'll leave...
Or will I never?

It's getting hot,
In this deep, dark well.
Soon I will rot,
Am I trapped in Hell?"

Rot he did do
Yet he did not wake
One day he died
But long it did take

Once a miner
Was trapped in a well
For it was greed
That which caused his fell

Why Bother
CL Fjell Feb 2019
Mouth-foamed tremors
Spineless sinners

Ashe soaked layers
Mindless prayers

Hate thy father
Love, why bother
Sad goes farther

Candle carver
Shapely mother
Child she'll smother

Man Who Forgot It All
CL Fjell Feb 2019
Feelings of bliss escape like rats scurrying
Across a floor littered with fragments of emotion,
The rodents dinner.
Among these crumbs lie memories of before.
Sadness, love, anger, angst along with many more.
Pieces of a past so dark it blocked out light.
A past so cancerous it killed God.
A past so heavy it crushed Hercules.
A past so damming that he forgot it all.
Feb 2019 · 198
For All I've Done
CL Fjell Feb 2019
Stinging is this feeling
Deep within my heart
The scabs they keep on peeling
My deeds, I've played my part.

Yet it was the end
When you said no more
Without hitting send
My heart, hurt to core.

Every now and then
When I reflect on the past
I look at my greatest sin
The first and the last.

I can't imagine what I put you through
I wish only that it all wasn't true
I miss all the love and the fun
For I'm truly sorry for all that I've done

Behind the Glaze
CL Fjell Feb 2019
I still see your deep blue eyes
Behind the glaze
Yet when they gaze
I sit in full amaze
Emotionless you stare
As if without a care

Like glowing torches
Your eyes burn through me
Is it me you're looking at
Or the me I used to be

I still see your deep blue eyes
Behind the glaze.

Human
CL Fjell Feb 2019
I wish I wasn't human.
Most our lives
Are filled with immense sadness.
Some say blessing,
I say curse.
Dominos keep falling

Please God
CL Fjell Jan 2019
Please God forgive my troubled mind
I wish that I could rewind time
To long ago; I loved my life
Now engulfed in lonesome strife
Memories of wonderous fun
Endless days spent in sun
I hate my life and how little I've done
I toss and turn and want to run
Far, far away from those held dear
And end it all ere a single tear
Jan 2019 · 304
Ode to my Love
CL Fjell Jan 2019
And in my darkest times,
You told me you loved me.
Now in my darkest times,
Pretend you cannot see
I hate your lies
But I love your eyes

Is It Wrong?
CL Fjell Jan 2019
Drive far away from home
Shed tears for my old strife
Shave head, start a new life
Never remember you
Always forgotten too
Erase your favorite song
Still I ask, "Is it wrong?"

Mountains and Trees
CL Fjell Jan 2019
Take me to the towers,
Made of dirt and stone.
I want to stand on their peak,
See where all light shone.

Feel as free as can be,
Like a bird through blue sky.
Except I'm trapped on the ground,
So I climb so very, very high.

My need for the mountain air,
Is like a water to fish gills;
I can't breathe without it.
I want to lie on its tall hills.

Take in the stars:
The endless sea in the sky.
No cars, no lights, no noises.
With no reaching mounds I'd rather die.

Alas, my life has brought me here,
To the sound of sleepless streets;
And the highest place I reach
Is in my loft bed sheets.

Toxic air fills my lungs,
City lights drown northern star.
I grow sad for now it seems,
The mountains are so very, very far.
I miss my home
Jan 2019 · 437
Last Goodbye
CL Fjell Jan 2019
Life is getting rough again,
Tired, no longer tough within.
Breathe some deep sighs
Close your eyes
This is where the hero dies

Weary
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Oh broken-hearted boy
How your lips sting
Your hips swing
I love you, my only toy
I miss your cold.

June
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Am I the only one who's mind speaks
More than one sentence at it's peak-
Hours fly by like planes
In the night sky in June-
Was the month I knew I loved you
So much that I had to let you go.

Settle Down
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Jumping caterpillars
Mindless zombie killers
Information out the ear
Just settle down, have a beer.

We need none of this
Politicians take the ****
Citizens all full of fear
Just settle down, have a beer.

Dim-lit screens of mind control
Make your feeble mind go dull
Your car, you no longer steer
Just settle down, have a beer.

Your words are limited to your stance
Tell me now, who wears your pants
You no longer spin your gear
Just settle down, have a beer.

A tiny ant inside a hive
Believe in instant revive
While your loves shed the tear
Just settle down, have a beer.

Go along little circus clown
Believe what you hear around
Besides, what is there to fear?
Just settle down, have a beer.
You are not free, you don't feel free

To Mom
CL Fjell Dec 2018
When school breaks out,
And I run to the safety of my room
To escape the thoughts of daily gloom,
You weren't there.

Hey Mom!
What did I do today?
Oh I-
Sorry. Oh.
Okay.
Back to my room, another day.

Her eyes glued to plasma,
Twenty-Twenty, yet blind,
Her son was dying.
She could save him,
He was trying,
Help!
Mom...?!

Hey Mom!
I paid my rent today!
Oh, why don't I ever come to see you?
I'm sorry mom I've been watching this new show,
"Life Without You."

Above or Below
CL Fjell Dec 2018
No matter who we love
No matter who you shove
We all end up in the same place
A hole.
Not way down below;
Nor too far above.

Shook
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Mind a mess,
Unending stress,
When will I fail this endless test?
I want it done,
To see the sun,
Why won't you see this isn't fun?
I've said this once,
Yet no response,
What will I do in coming months?
End this pain,
Fall like rain,
Who would **** my aching brain?
Dec 2018 · 285
Your Eyes
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Deep
From every blink
Your beauty doth seep
Staring, I start to feel myself sink

Like pools of endless galaxies
I see my future in your eyes
Like a dense forest of pine trees
I float through your milky white skies
  
Seductive and terrifying
Am I caught in my dreams
I see myself with you, flying
But you don't notice me, not yet it seems.
I'm lovesick

Trapped Inside
CL Fjell Dec 2018
What am I doing?!
Where are you going?!
Hey! come back!

I can't say it aloud but I miss your head on my lap.
Ever since you left, I've felt like I'm in a trap.
Dec 2018 · 471
Far Away
CL Fjell Dec 2018
Walking free
I'm in all red.
Swaying bodies embrace in bed, like waves from the sea.

You're so far
But not even mine
Your back was my last sign, wishing on a star.

Come back to me
I've fallen back in
Leaving you, my greatest sin, but now you're just walking free.

I'm in prison

Falling Out of Feeling
CL Fjell Nov 2018
Why is it that the days with you are the greatest I've had?
No emotions of fear, anger, or sad;
Yet when I look in your eyes, I can only feel bad.

Love has evaded me for years, and years yet to come.
No butterflies, nor tingles, nor tears;
None shed for the hugs from that special some... one.

Why is it my happiest days are paired with the loneliest of nights?
Filled with want, need, even prying;
For a love that's just right.

Falling out of feeling is the hardest feeling to fall in.
As love evades your mind, when you feel you can never try again.

Fungus
CL Fjell Aug 2018
You're like a fungus
Growing colors among us.
As happy as you look,
I can read you, an open book.

From your flowing silk cap,
To your teeth with slight gap.
A smile to hide sinister desire,
Face ice cold, soul a pyre.

Tasting your intriguing trap
Leads only to a sour dirt nap.
Left feeling alone and dead,
Wondering where is your head.
For who in their right mind
Could be so evil as to **** mine.
I like mycology
Jul 2018 · 257
Another
CL Fjell Jul 2018
Your gaze shoots right through me like a speeding bullet,
I know it's not meant for me but it fills my soul with a joy like none other.

Your smile, like the most perfect sheen of a knife, cuts through my heart like butter.
I know they glisten not for me, but I can't help but count each white horse as they stand still.

Your warmth like the radiant sun so sweetly gleaming, fills my soul with compassion.
I know it's all in kindness, but I can't help but wish it were something more.

Your hair like a flowing river, shines in the bright summer light.
I know it's not for me, but for another.

The Embers You Left Behind
CL Fjell Jul 2018
Once in a dream,
You were only a gleam
A ray of blinding sun.

When nights long ago,
You said you loved me so
Well I guess it was only make believe.

Years come to pass,
My first and my last
This fire never ignites for another

The embers you left behind,
Still burn within my mind
A dancing swirling splendor.
I still love you, but you moved on
Jul 2018 · 234
Make Me Dream Again
CL Fjell Jul 2018
Years.
Has it been years
Since I last dreamed?
Dreams of **** covered hilltops
Flowing so easily in the much needed
Breeze.
Those lands I walked every night
Cotton-candy clouds
Blue was always my favorite
Red sky and a sun with shades
Greeting me to my dreamland of old
A sigh of relief fills my lungs
Knowing all my worries disappear
In these wide open fields
With dogs!
Kittens!
Lovers!
Never alone was I
In this world my complex mind creates.
But alone I am now
For when my eyes finally close
With my body nustled under my linens
I see blackness!
Nothingness!
Emptiness!
I can't find my way to the open fields
And dancing hilltops
I'm trapped in my sleep
Ever since you took my dreams
Jul 2018 · 320
Lies
CL Fjell Jul 2018
I absolutely love being lied to.
There's nothing more I can do.
Sometimes I feel like I always knew,
Yet a fool I am for believing you.
Nothing you say is true.
Now the day I met you too,
Is yet another day I rue.
Lies of a friend or enemy

Horrors From Beyond Time
CL Fjell Jun 2018
Far over the bright waned moon
Beyond the stars of our galaxy
Outside space
Beyond time
Live the monsters that invade our dreams
Grotesque beings of ungodly creation
Who's eyes bulge with insight from the Beyond
And slender, porous bodies writher with anxiety
Whom loathe our feeble minds
Envious of our unknowing
They rip and tear at the fabric of time
With their clamp-like hands
Slowly, and with persistent vigor
Infringing on our sleepless minds
To drive us to the same insanity they endure
The Horrors from beyond Time
Fear-mongering ghouls of sweat-filled nights
One day will occupy us all
I'm noob ok

Where Did the Time Go
CL Fjell Jun 2018
Whether it's the first time you held my hand,
Or the time you took me to foreign land;
I can't seem to escape your pull.
You're a magnet, and I'm the fool.

Countless days in fields where we stand,
Toe to toe, believing what you had planned
Was a love as deep as the deepest pool,
But alas, yet again I'm the fool.

Lucid white beach, buried in sand.
Losing track of time as our pale skin tanned.
I miss those days of hot and cool...
Why did I have to be such a fool?..
I'm sorry my friend, please forget me
Jun 2018 · 137
Monster of Thought
CL Fjell Jun 2018
Virus, you fill my brain
With lies of love
And tears of pain

Monster, you let me in
Only to kick me out
Make me feel my sin
The sin that without a doubt
I love you most, so I pretend

Liar, you hurt my heart
You make your bed
So that I can play the part
It hurts my little head

I can feel your tease
And see your forked tongue
Pretend I'm something I'm not
Leave me alone... please

Hot Shower, Cold Sweats
CL Fjell May 2018
Your words embrace my body
Like the ocean embraces the shore
Each crashing syllable strikes my core

Your actions slay your words
Like the lies of a fallen angel
Each dagger piercing in a unique angle

The only relief from your abuse
Is a hot shower that wraps me in bliss
How could you let it come to this

Forget I ever said I love you
I could never love a demon
So abusive as the one that lies in my bed
While I recover in this bathtub full of dread.
I was sad

Dark-Brown Cup of Love
CL Fjell May 2018
From plant to cup
A mystical bean
That rejuvenates the broken soul
An angel that lifts the slumped shoulders
Of the aching bones of society's drones
Gives the creature purpose
An idea for life
A dream for the future

From stem to mug
This lovely seed
Has sprouted roots in the working man's brain
He needs it
He has to have it
He breaks his back to consume it
It's the love of his life
The face of his wife
The grin of his children
The plow breaking the earth

From foreign lands to bottomless pockets
This dark-brown beauty
Has been used to capture the meager
Slaving away
For one more cup
It helps take the edge off
Helps to prepare for the day ahead
Fill the void, more and more
Not one meal, but plenty to spill

Drunken Thoughts
CL Fjell May 2018
Which-a way is the loo?
I can't seem to find my hand...
Oh! there it is, inside my shoe!
My head is all muddl'd, perhaps I should try to stand.

The room is a kaleidoscope-
Where did the floor run off to?
I'm standing on the ceiling, at least I hope.
My head is still muddl'd, perhaps I should try something new

Walk! I'll walk. Where...
Where to walk?.. Ahhh, I know.
The loo! No, I need another beer.
My head is ******* muddl'd, perhaps I should try not being so hollow

Now I stare at the ceiling,
World is spinning with eyes cross'd.
That beer has left a distasteful feeling
Of mistakes made with friends lost.

Blanket of worries
Stain'd with three bottles of memory
Means I can't forget all the stories;
I'm an *******, in summary.

I forgot about the loo, and I never got up.
There's only enough burning water to fill this cup.
The last glass, for I hate how I've watched my mind fall.
My head is tired and muddl'd, perhaps I will finally end it all.
throwaway

— The End —
