Mind numbing cicadas
Buzzing in my brain
Until I die
I'm a cicada
Constantly screaming
Until I die
Loud percussion
Everyone ignoring
Until I die
CL Fjell Apr 2019
My impulses guide me again and again
Light in clear path yet I stray toward sin
A hand grabs my shoulder to pull me back in
A familiar face, room, and warmth from within

Sweet fragrance of the void of which I cling
As I jump I start to hear the angels sing
Their singing growing to a shrieking sting
Oh god how I wish I still had my wings
Think about your thoughts
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?"
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.
CL Fjell May 2019
As quick as I fall in this pit
Just as quick do I climb back out

Now I must ask myself
Which of these actions is of love
CL Fjell Jun 2019
A strong sigh of discontent
Fortitude decreasing, only slightly
My highest wall crumbles
Because of one king
"Why did he leave me?
Were my armies too weak?
Impossible!
I have the strongest men to fight.
Were my peasants too *****?
Impossible!
I have the cleanest peasants to pillage.
Or was it me?
Impossible...
I... I... Am the weakest of all my citizens."
"That's why I left you."
Lad
CL Fjell Apr 2019
Lad
Life doesn't fill me
With the same thrills
And wondrous charm
That it used to as a young lad

Through my experiences
I've been instead filled
With the horrors of humans
And their wonderless deeds
That scarred me as a young lad
CL Fjell Jul 2019
A stone
I found her all alone
In a field, perhaps
One that has overgrown

She had bright emerald eyes-
Opal glistened hair
Flowing effortlessly

Tones of song sang to me
Dancing on the night
She flew over to see

One whisper in my ear
"Why did you come here?"
"Because I love you, dear."

She vanished with the light
Taking with her stones
Will she come another night?
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
CL Fjell May 2019
I want to cry so bad
But the tears just well
Why must I be so sad
And why can't you tell
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Crush my spirit
Use it as medicine
For your own benefit
And give it to your friends
And give it to your family
Your dogs and cats too
I have no need for it
I don't want a need for it
Stretched thin and squeezed
Like a summer lemon
Now I'm a lemon
And you're refreshed
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
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
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Barrier of light
Holding back the dark
Growing weak
Crawling in
A dark, dark night again
CL Fjell May 2019
I felt love for the first time today
It was written in your iris
It was spoken in your stare
My tongue skips a beat
My heart dances in your mouth
Please kiss my soul
Don't abandon my lips
Love for the first time in ages
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Love still eludes these eyes
Blinded by countless tries
Try again they say
Shoot for the moon and pray
In other words,
Waste day after day
CL Fjell Jun 2019
How do you finish a quest,
A quest for love,
When even your own intuition says,
"You're not ready."
But I know I'm ready,
I need this!

It's been too long
Too long without a kiss
That releases that dopamine,
Get my brain so high

It's been too long
Too long without a hug
That releases the demons,
Make my spirit feel alright

So yes, I'm ready
But my intuition screams
It still screams and says,
"No! You'll just die again!"
But intuition please,
Don't you have to die to be born
To be born again is to love.
CL Fjell Jun 2019
The waking world feels false
My dreams are much better
Than reality. Even the bad dreams
Have so much more good
Than reality. Even the bad dreams
Make me much happier
Than reality. Even the bad dreams
Scare me much less
Than reality; Even the bad dreams
Are only bad
Momentarily
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
CL Fjell May 2019
None of you understand
My shifting perception
Words I can't mention
Thoughts I can't conjure
Books I can't write
Feelings I can't picture
All changing every day
It's driving me insane
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.
CL Fjell May 2019
Like jiu jitsu my mind is in a tussle
Back and forth
Throw to grab
Submission to tap
Tap tap
My mind is lost
My heart is victorious
CL Fjell Apr 2019
Two worlds exist within another
A mind within a body
A body within the world
Both peering out in awe at what
It thinks is reality, at what
It feels is reality

Which world do you live in most often
CL Fjell May 2019
I'm not deserving of anything that I have besides misery.

What's confidence?

Nothing that I've been taught or raised.
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
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
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
CL Fjell Jul 2019
I could show my worth to a thousand people
And my own mother wouldn't bat an eye
I sometimes ponder and I wonder if she'll miss me when I die
CL Fjell May 2019
My neighbor started beating his drums again
For the first time in what seems like years.
Could it be he found them in his closet,
Or did he find something else instead?

My neighbor started beating his drums again
With such fiery emotion and perfect rhythm.
Like the sound of 1000 hearts beating
Or the resurrection of one that's long since died.

My neighbor started beating his drums again
I'm now starting to worry for him
I hope that all his beating and banging
Will not cease and last for many a day.
CL Fjell May 2019
Without my rose
I'm just dirt
Just dirt
Holding a stem
That used to have potential
Now instead it holds something tragic
A dark, deep, depressing thing
Something I regret dearly
It's hope
CL Fjell Jul 2019
I thought it was near
The passing of this cloud. Alas
Shimmers of the sun disappear
Rain yet came ever near

Still this cloud it looms
Closer and closer I fear
Like a fat kid welling tear and
Rain yet came ever near

Darkness is now lurking here
Shadows are one with evil God
The air holds that humid stench
Too late to hide from guiltless drench
CL Fjell May 2019
We live in boxes
Drive in boxes
To work in boxes

We live separate from nature
Drive around nature
And work unnaturally

This is not living
THIS IS DYING
WHY CAN'T WE SEE
WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM NATURE
WE ARE NATURE
WE WERE NOT ONCE NATURE
WE DIVERGED FROM NATURE
IT WANTS US BACK
AND SO DO YOU
STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

Your box is not you
Nature is you
Act like it
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
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Poetry helps but poetry makes it worse
Does that make sense?
Let me spell it out for you
Poetry heals wounds but poetry opens another
CL Fjell May 2019
Once you find yourself

An outsider in your own body

Life feels much more meaningless

But listening is much easier

Because why would you wish

This hellish existence on someone else
CL Fjell May 2019
Find out what made you blossom
The first time
So you can bloom not one time
But forever more

If your passion constantly shifts
It doesn't mean it isn't just as beautiful
For in the bouquet of your mind
Why would you ever only want
One flower?
CL Fjell Jun 2019
Wild growth covers a dense forest
How beautiful it is
To us
But how suffocating it is
For trees
CL Fjell Jun 2019
Did you **** yourself
Or did I **** us?
Answer me!
Hey!
ANSWER ME!
WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
I KNEW YOU'D HATE ME!
THEY ALL DO!
Wait no, come back

I'm sorry

I don't know what came over me
It's not your fault
Life has been cruel to me
Not physically

Mentally

You see I lost my-
You're right
I have a problem
I understand

Goodbye
CL Fjell Feb 2021
Bright colored yellows and soft muted greens,
With a pipe in hand and a light for the means,
Of smoking away this long and hard day.

Leg dangles from branch, it waves lazily,
Clouds rise with a puff, and float merrily,
One great big ole breath, and troubles seem to cease.
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
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
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Horde my colours pridefully
Pry my secrets dreadfully
Strip down my necessity
My individuality
Gone with my complexity
Is freedom free, truly
My answer is no, unruly
CL Fjell Jun 2019
Clash-clash of swords
On swords
It's Pride Month
Yet again
CL Fjell Jun 2019
Sunlit room breathes deeply
Another morning has awoken
A tired zombie shuffles across
Lethargic.

Morning stretches and a daily rinse
Turns a zombie to a prince
Now he's ready to work and work
One-third of his life away
So tragic.
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Our society wants to control you.
And you don't know it already does:
The clothes you wear, the things you own.
Your creativity and mind become society
It's a clever way of controlling.
A clever way of saying,
You've been had so bad
You would never know,
And that's quite sad.
CL Fjell May 2019
Reflectors stab my retinas
Reflecting the inside.
Thoughts crawl out of me
Ghouls of telepathy
Constantly scratching and screaming,
"Let me be free
I wish to see."

Choke them with pills and herb,
"Stay down you awful beasts"
I used to think,
Now I just feel.
Today they will see the side of me,
The side of me I want to be.
Freely and complete, truly.
Indescribably.
I will subscribe to thee,
Til' the beast can see,
This beast will be free,
"Finally"
CL Fjell Jul 2019
Passions are for children;
A passion can't pay your rent.
Rent is made to **** your passion.
Don't you see that the real you is crying?
Wake up, you're stuck inside dying!
Stuck inside you, stuck inside a house!
Rent is gnawing at you, you're dying.-
You've been dying!
You've been lied to.
No more hiding!
Your rent's due.
Existentialism will be the death of me
CL Fjell May 2019
Loneliness is real
It's too real for you.
If you think it can be cured
By something so obvious.

Not all loneliness is solved
By family and friends,
Food and meditation,
Love and compassion.
Though wholesome indeed
Are your thoughtful words
If they were true
Loneliness wouldn't be heard

For the lonely aren't lonely
Because they're without something;
The lonely are lonely
Because their mind is ill
The lonely need help
Not aimless distraction
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.
CL Fjell Jul 2019
I want to run
Let me run
Through fields of clover and dandelions
I want to spread my wings and fly
Fly back to reality
Because this ain't living baby
Life is out there and I'm in here
So let me run
So I can fly
