You're My Insomnia
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
I sing to the moon
Hoping that you hear me
Like a wolf without a pack
You invade my thoughts
Live in my dreams
So I'm cracked up on caffeine
Trying not to sleep
Since I can't stand to see you, unless its real.
You're my insomnia
*Keeping me awake at night
I hope she reads these. Even if it's irrelevant.

Slander
Indigo Prince Jan 2016
I want to be like you
Deceptive, through and through.
Lying your way through this life,
Even your smile, is sly.

Your heart is decrepit
Nothing in there is true.
You've worn it out so,
Now its rarely put to use.
Teach me how to lie, like you.
We all have our facades and our secrets. Mine is that I'm dead, just a shell of a hate that was once a human being. Now, masquerading as a regular person.

Loyalty is Key
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
There's dust on these old emotions
They've been caged for so long
Can't tell if they're still broken
Since there's plenty of times I've been wronged
Not saying that I'm innocent
Or that I'm the most righteous of them all
But you're the one who said you loved me
And notice now that I am gone?

Bad Actor
Indigo Prince Dec 2014
You're dancing on a pile of corpses
A pile of people succumbed to your act
An act of need, need of companionship
Need of love and compassion
Need for happiness
But an act all the same.

You're not a good actor
Or, at least not to me
I'm sitting here watching as you lie through your teeth
As you sly and swindle your way into innocent hearts
I sit and I watch searching for your trick
Your "skill"
The thing you're using to trick and deceive
Since you're tricking many
Many, except
For me.

Oh Juliet
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
At one point you referred to me as your Romeo
And you were my Juliet
It seems we had our falling out
But have yet to see our last breath
Oh Juliet if you were here
In my arms, I'd hold you dear
What hardship we had faced before
Caught me off guard I swear to death
If I could have that moment back
You'd still be here with me
Oh Juliet I miss you so
I just wish I could make you see
I've watched you fall in and out of love
With so many other guys
If only you would turn around
And see I'm still right by your side
We call each other the best of friends
But if you knew, you'd feel so bad
Oh Juliet I'll hide away
All these feelings that I have
I'd rather see you happy
Than stressed beyond belief
But no matter what i do or try
It's not good enough since it's me
Oh Juliet one day you'll see
The words I write for you
And at that time I hope you'll know
Im still hit with cupids bow.
Indigo Prince Dec 2014
Seemingly wandering into an unknown place
Falling over into chaos
Waiting forever for the person deemed true
True to what goes on in this asylum
True to who can comprehend what happens here
This asylum of confusion, this asylum that is fear
This asylum that is, me
Locked inside my own head
Please help me to get
Out.

I'm stuck
Stuck in this cycle of confusion and failure
Is there anything to even do now ?
I can only see what's in front of me
The love, a lie
This life, standby
If only, I could be
Strong enough to see
That it's really over.

Wake me when I'm sober
Wake me when I'm ok to breath
Ok to see
That somewhere in life things will work out for me.
I just wrote what came to mind at the moment.

Media and Revolt
Indigo Prince May 2015
Times are changing,
Sirens are blaring,
There's tension in every speck of air.
Our minds are bending,
What are we defending ?
Who are the real "victims" here ?

Introverte
Indigo Prince Sep 2014
He who sits  alone at all times
He who rarely speaks
He who isn't merry
But if he who does all these things,
decides he wants to change
Then what will become
Of this Introvert he used to be ?

Late Night Blues
Indigo Prince Jan 2016
The shine in his eyes has all but died
Drained of all that is good
Where it once was, filling the void
Depression and madness now loom.

Dying, internally
Only in the late teens
Who knew a midlife crisis could occur at 18 ?
Couldn't sleep and needed to get these demanding voices out of my head. Good night.
Indigo Prince Dec 2014
Tied down
Being strangled by the ropes of lust
If offered a hand
Would you take the help ?
Stranger, oh stranger
That is what i am
A stranger extending his stranger hand.
Accept or decline, the choice is yours

These are my words
The words in my head
The things that i say
While i'm drifting away
The words that never have, and probably never will
come out.

Aftermath
Indigo Prince Oct 2015
Enveloped in darkness,
Soaked in tears,
This once strong man is broken.
Slowly he stumbles,
Embracing his fears,
His haven, his love has crumbled.

You are my addiction
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
I shoot up with the thoughts of you
I smoke to your embrace
You are a drug
My addiction
You are the thing I need
You keep giving me signs
And I hope that you'll stay
But I know you never will
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
Some years ago he met a girl
She seemed so lost and confused
He should've helped her out
But he was stuck in awe as she stood in his line of sight
The most beautiful girl he'd ever seen
Was just feet away and seemed so serene

At this time he was so immature
Trying to think of ways he could talk to her
Maybe bump into her and call it an accident
Ask for help on some heavy assignment ?

Those were all good options but when the time came
He'd did the ridiculous to make her laugh
For days on end he'd ridicule hiself
Just to see that smile upon her face
It took a year of that constant routine until he finally asked her out

Now this is just the rambling of a children's love story
Normally it would end right there
"They were happy in the end" Is the usual end
But the end has yet to come
After 2 years of that the girl moved on
Leaving that boy to lie in his thoughts
Weird enough she still felt for him
So they were ultimately on and off
Confused and lost the boy wonders how she feels
As her signals seem to come in waves

The boy is now 17
Still in love with the girl
Yet she's off with some other guy
In books and movies the boy gets the girl
But keep in mind that in life
Things don't always work out as well

"Home"
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
Get me out of this place
This so-called "home"
This place where I'm pinned with all these accusations
Away from this oh so righteous step father
Who always says that I am selfish
Exclaims that I'm going nowhere
The man who calls me worthless and irresponsible
And speaks as if he's so much better
He's only where he is
Due to the adopted father
Who just happened to be wealthy
Paid for all his wants and needs
And created this thing before me

For some reason your words anger me
So much it's driving me insane
You argue with the same old things
Thinking to yourself that you are right
But soon enough you'll realize
That I was worth keeping around
Because once I leave
I'll cut all ties
To this ****** so-called "home".

mon évasion
Indigo Prince Sep 2014
The doctor can't prescribe me an escape from society,
A way to eschew idiocy, redundancy and ignorance.
So even though I'm not a doctor,
No degrees, claims, nor title.
I'm prescribing myself a substance.
One of which I deem fit.
So this is the reason,
As to why I smoke,
Cannabis.
To some people, I'm sure the use of drugs may be against their beliefs or morals. I dislike it as well as hypocritical as that may be. But, being with Cannabis(or Marijuana) I see it's only deemed wrong in the manner of which you use it. The same goes with certain other drugs such as Alcohol.

What Comes with the Fox
Indigo Prince Jan 2015
Both my heart and my mind,
are so confused
you've drawn them both into this complicated ruse.

Both you and I,
can feel the same tension
yet in these emotions, you're all i can mention.

Love, hurt, grieve repeat.
Please let me have some room to breath.
Im dying from all of this repetition
my emotions are collapsing
pushing my thoughts of love into submission.

I write what i feel, and feel what i write.
but in writing, i can't express this confusion
nor fright.
Fright of the same, fright of rejection.
Im afraid, that you could be a teacher.
With heartbreak, as your lesson.

Are you sincere,
or are you just fishing ?
Fishing for another lovesick boy to invest in.
I swear im not easy,
I swear i am true.
But for some reason,
some unknown reason.
I can easily fall, for you.
I'm just writing about how i feel using the words that come to mind. Although, I'm not sure if my mind knows what its doing as of now. If whomever this may be about deciphers the fact that it is about them, i apologize if i seem rude or anything of the sort.

Also, part of this sounds "dr.seuss-y" and it kind of bothers me, i apologize.

Semblance of Strength
Indigo Prince Nov 2014
I may seem strong,
I may seem bold.
Yet I am of the weak.
My strength is fake,
My boldness, fear.
A facade, so to speak.

Mors Autem Animi
Indigo Prince Dec 2014
This flame of blue is now burning black
Sitting in a room waiting on the next anxiety attack
Scratching at the walls
The doors and floor
How much of this madness must be endured ?
While the mind and soul
Are slowly being twisted and disturbed.
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
Everything you said seems to have gotten you nowhere
You still sulk and cheat
Like its getting you somewhere
I may have just been that easy guy
But at least take my advice
While you tell me that I'm worthless
You also give me a reason to write.
Emotions are complicated, don't make it worse on others.

Sucks to Suck
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
We call each other the best of friends
But I think you're afraid of me
When we're alone
All by our selves
I can tell that you want me
But afterwards
Once all is done
You go and run away
You block me off
Push me away
And hold the arm of your boyfriend
To an extent I understand
Why you would be afraid
But then again
I hope you understand
That it really does hurt me
You brush it off as if its nothing
You pretend it wasn't real
But to me it was really something
I wish you'd feel what I feel
I guess I'm just that easy guy
The one you know will never leave
Use me to you full content
Then throw me out to sea
As messed up as I know it is
Im alright with all of this

I know Im being used
*That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse
Excuse my Offspring reference if it bothers you.

No Title
Indigo Prince Apr 2016
I was on the verge,
on the edge of it all
Standing at the cliff,
ready to fall.
But you've lulled me away
You've convinced me to stay.
I won't mind as long
as I can see your beautiful face.

just stuff
Indigo Prince Apr 2016
My minds screaming I'm terrible
You're saying I'm unbearable
Alone again, my mind is dead.
What just happened here ?

I was holding on, just by a string
but you came and you pulled me up.
We laughed, you smiled
But then you wept
as you pushed me, off again.
Indigo Prince Sep 2014
Drowning in your affairs as a "classy businessmen"
Forgot about your families love
And
Practice absent-mindedness.
Break your promise,
Break your vows
Soon you'll break your neck
From bending over backwards just to get your next paycheck.
Bills and taxes take a toll
But so does shutting out your life
Forgot about your son's birthday
But not a single cent
A family isn't just a toy
Make them happy, make them smile,
Give them utter joy.

People have always told me,

Then say nothing at all.

The Mind of a Poet
Indigo Prince Sep 2014
Each word of a poet
Carries things most cannot comprehend
Each letter bears a piece of their mind
A part of themselves.
Each phrase is important
Every word is precise

Unless of course we're just having fun.
With that
Enjoy deciphering our deep backgrounds
Or our satirical play on words and the mind.
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
I get these moments of clarity
Moments when I realize
That in the end I may be ok
Moments when I realize
Maybe someday she'll be mine
And for now
All I can do is write
So I've imbued my heart in my words
If she reads them
Well I hope she feels the beating in every verse
Im sure she has moments too
When she stops and wonders
If it'd be better if it was me instead of him
If maybe there was a mistake
Or if she even feels for me
So I guess in the end
Everyone has there moments, right ?

You Terrify Me
Indigo Prince Aug 2016
You're somewhat like a drug,
When I'm with you, theres a rush.
But every time we part ways,
I'm not left with very much.
This aching in my chest,
It's too hard to explain.
This pain filling my head,
Am I going insane ?

Every Single Way
Indigo Prince Jun 2014
She and I can quote all my favorite songs,
And a smile crawls across my face,
As she asks if I want to stay up late.
She's amazing in every single way,
Beautiful and yet caged away.
She's amazing in every single way,
Too bad she's been taken,
She belongs to someone else,
That's just the way it is.
But I still have her in my land of make believe.
My fantasy of what things should be,
But I guess in reality,
The nice guy's never win.
This is my first poem I'm putting up on here and it's a bit cheesy and cliché, but I hope whomever stumbles upon it likes it (:

What you call "Perfect"
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
They say life is what you make it
Exciting and fun is the quo
But when you're as boring as i am
You might not get in at all
All I do is sit in my room
Blasting music, playing games and eating food
You may say that I'm a loser
But I'd say the loser is you
While you're being turned, corrupt and disturbed
By the worlds idea of "Perfect"
Im in my own little world
Content with myself
Not worrying about the things that you do
Hair, money, clothes nor good looks
I can do with what little I have
And I understand that people elsewhere
Would **** to just be where I am
So I'll sit and be happy
Not falling to greed
Just as the people become society's ******.

A Fork in the Road
Indigo Prince Dec 2014
There once was a time when they had no secrets
A time where they told each other everything
But now one of them is so lonely
Since the other has stopped saying anything
Now one's content with what little words that they get from the other
While the other has left them in the dust

She's moved on with her life
He is living a lie
Stuck in some pretend world where it's all alright
While she wanders through hell
Searching for something solid to grab hold of

If only, if only
She'd open her eyes and see
That the boy she once knew
Has now grown into a man
Has now moved on from that lie
From the unreal to the real
Now he wanders his own hell
Slowly getting farther and farther from his past.

Did you break up,
or are you just on hiatus ?

Wasted Love
Indigo Prince Nov 2015
You gave up,
When I still tried.
You gave up,
When I wanted "us" to survive.
For the past month I've been stuck,
In depression.
Over a girl who'd rather runaway,
Than try to find a solution.
Oh well,
I tried.
You're the one who gave up hope.
Indigo Prince Jan 2015
If, in the end,
it is you and i
I swear to all gods
I'll stay by your side
I'll do my best, to keep you happy.
But for now, i will hope
That what i dream of can be our reality.

and it seems I just can't help.
I'm losing my mind
and this silence, how it melts

Sanity slipping away.
I'm hoping that you reach out your arm
before we fall too far
too far from each other
too far to save.
Just writing whats on my mind

In or out ?
Indigo Prince Jul 2014
Hey, I hope you can hear me
I’m so close, but you won’t come near me
I’m sorry for the things that I said
But it seems my heart won’t rest
I’ll always be here, I promise not to move
We do somethings but I'm left with questions
But then again I realize you're taken
We have our on and offs
Honestly it’s so confusing
But I’m ok with anything if it’s you
You’re the one who can change my mind
The girl who I’d give everything up for
That’s dangerous, I know
You could tear me apart in one go
But I’m asking you please, let me in
Or let me go.
Because it seems I always fall for what I can't have.

Don't worry I've figured it out
Somebody, got rid of your pout.
Somebody, that body isn't me.
Somebody, who has more ability.
I'll back down,
I'll back off.
I learned my lesson last time so I'll get lost.

Don't worry, I'll be just fine.
Just need to get some **** off my mind.
In the end, I could be wrong.
But I'll prepare for the worst, as i rip this ****.

I'm worried, what should I do ?
My brains overloading on the worst outcomes with you.
Many times before, when I've drawn the losing hand
I just want to win for once, before giving up & calling ******* on this sham.

Why am I here
What is my purpose

I thought this feeling of unimportance would dwindle after reaching adulthood

But, now it's been 5 years and I still cant stand being "here"

When does it get better
When do things stop hurting

When do the people I cherish care to stick around.

When do "friends" become friends.

— The End —
