Katelyn May 2021
The Mind, hellbent to win
Laughs in the face of illusion.
For it shall show you the way,
No longer shackled by that clouded fog

Wretched, cursed, carnivorous,
Insatiable, devouring, misery.
Succeed in all that you do,
No longer blocked from the beating path

Defeat is not an option
For It that is All-Knowing.
To think one may supersede me;
No longer the reigning force

Who am I, if not mighty,
Boasting with a puffed chest?
Shall I truly concede to those around me,
No longer the dictator of this prison?
Katelyn Apr 2019
Stumbling through the town,
Alone in the night.
Violent memories clash around,
Enticing for my past sins

My body crumbles to nothing,
Each grain of ash lifeless
Katelyn Apr 2019
How stupid of me-

I was a fool to think that I could ever mean anything to you.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Katelyn Apr 2019
Shadows slink over my shoulder,
Whispering in my ear.
They tell of promises,
Spoken by the wicked night.

Black tendrils slowly wrap around me,
Around my wrists, and my neck,
Squeezing and tightening.
I can hardly breathe.

Where did I put my candle?
My ethereal light in this cascading dark....
But alas-
It seems I have no flame left within
Katelyn Apr 2019
Be careful where you step,
For the fall will surely **** you.
Maneuver your way silently,
As to not awake the beast.

Be careful where you walk,
For the ground will surely crumble.
Tread slowly,
Since the cracks grow larger.

Be confident and sure,
For there is no going back.
The world has a spotlight on you,
One wrong move, and you plummet to your doom.
Katelyn Apr 2019
The clock strikes midnight
And my tears stream down.
No noise comes out,
Body heaving.

I try to pinch myself awake,
But it is no use.
I'm not living in a dream
But instead trudging through a nightmare
Katelyn Apr 2019
Trembling lips
Shaky hands
Pale face
Broken eyes

Someone save me.
Hands reach up from below,
Clawing at my skin.
I can't breathe.

A fire lit within,
That cannot be extinguished.
I'm going to burn up.
Won't anybody save me?

Please....
