I rasp my mind around these thoughts.
Weeping willows wallow in self doubt.
Finding one's own grievances to mask others charades.
I bring my hand to the face of a believer.
Just happens to be my own;
quickly, I realize that mine is masked by tears and a frown.
Tirelessly gripping my imprisonment.
Unable to remove what has been given to me.
Mistaken as I am.
The mask goes deeper than my core,
could I possibly of built this face for myself?
I do not know the reason I write poems.  Creativity? Others? Self?  I know what stops me from writing time to time that people will see and I feel like my poor writing is wasting their time.

The last years.
they open presents to their desires;
enjoying what they perceive as their own.
The last years.
I open regrets to what I am undeserving;
persuading myself  to accept these "gifts".
The last years.
They deserved more than nothing.
I deserved less than their all.
This Year
Smiles and cheers cross their rosy child-like faces.
While mine mask the pain I could never share.                     Never on a holiday like this.

**Merry Christmas.
Worth while not really.

*****.
What are you thinking.
are you so unaware of what is here.
what the **** are you thinking.
It's crazy to think what you think.
nothing.
I've told you it all already,
how can you say you don't see;
dense maybe.
that's too kind, I mean obtuse or impaired maybe mentally *******.
something must be wrong with you.
I'm happy that it's over.
just ****** for how spineless you are and only thinking of yourself.
grow up and use your words.
Don't spew out ******* I want the truth.
Don't spare feelings just speak the despair.
Don't waste more of my time saying you're crying,
because I've wasted too much time caring.
I'll find someone to care just like I do.
where you can find someone to hide with knifes just like you do.
Watch me as I walk away.
Because at least when I do you will get to see it.
*****.
Really quick poem, the poems of resent about a girl well it's all done with.  Now I am a little ******, but not sad.  Spineless ****.

I could never tear my flesh
never see the flood begin to spread
I could never be numb
never letting pain subside
I could never spread my feelings
never truly telling how deeply I burn

I can walk in the realm I deserve
can punish myself for how I feel
I can bruise my body and bellow it's contents
can punish oneself to reach my ends

Seeking for a hand bruised as badly as mine
seeing only a refection
Seeking a twist to turn this plot
seeing the end I envision finally change

I turn to the shower to fine pain
turning to sleep to never forget
I turn to people for rejection
turning to sleep to never remember

Tonight is not a night I will forget.
nor will my flesh as I begin to bleed.
"Leaving Las Vegas" is a movie where the main character slowly kills himself.

You know what fear is?
Would be a grand expression.
Girl, you are the only one that I fear.
and I am everyone's greatest fear.
Sorry to say but you do not fear me.

The fear runs underneath every word that trembles out.
Perhaps the mumbles are my stifled voice.
Grasped by an ever clenching throat.
Each "I'm here" fills my lungs with another desperate breath.
I approach my foggy glass door smiling at your ghostly shadow.

My flesh does not peal back nor blur into a gnarly wound.
Scents of plush comfort and feeling of opiates flourishing.
Granting my hemoglobin, plasma, and marrow.
One does not fear ones flesh but the eagerness to provide.
Fearing not the donor but the blood they give.

Pledging to yawn and inhale your tranquility
while expelling my own insanity
Finals. I think they may be rotting my mind, if it's not already gone.

Give me harmony and I will build.
Tranquility will grasp hold of life;
only taking what only peace can give.
Building a life.
Give me life before you take my harmony;
Happiness will prosper.
Leave me happy.
Harmony and I will build.

Pleasure will corrupt my mind,
telling fancy tales of delight.

Let me take hold a smile,
and my fancies will make it glow.
Life grant me what I plead,
Harmony to build with.
Sometimes I wonder what my real reasons are for things, other do not know nor I.

Memory will fade
like all else does
once my demise has come
not even memory will keep me alive
nothing will know
my unrequited feelings
nothing will know
my longing for companions
all that will be left
will be this
although it will not last in memory
at least it exist as such did I
Really quick poem.  Just putting out constant content pretty much.  Give a sense of some feeling that I feel at random instances of my day/night.
