Peach peels and sticky fingers
Blanket pulled from a cooking body
Its worthless
Rotting full of maggots of poison
Im growing flowers
Bright greys
Unseen by any
Eyes protrude from my ankles
They see the rainbow
They watch the blood drip
How it sinks into the floor
Sipping
made during a really tough time. I really enjoy making poems that feel like this. I find it fun to experiment with

Never have things seemed so bright
They blind
Never have things seemed so warm
They burn
Never have things seemed so sweet
They rot
Never have things been so kind
Its nice
Keep that
Its simple

Music
It gets me through,
Hearing others express how i feel
Grief
Confusion
Relationships
Friendships
All thoseā€¦
more.

Expressions being expressed
Doesn't work
I speak in crushed riddles
With cracks
And quick unprepared responses
That were shoved out because i haven't spoke in hours
excited for company
came off awkward
            Just liked the feeling of a conversation
Life is like that
And music lets me communicate and exist
It's what i lean on
this I wrote in middle school. I was so lonely so when I found out music helped I wanted to communicate that, thanks spotify (online music player) for being there.

Words melt in the walls
Covered in paintings
Made of you
Made of me
Yours are beautiful
Careful strokes
Each of such precise yet casual calmness
The motion of your hands
They swing and move in such ways of a ballerina
Ones of a mother easing her child to a deep sleep
They recreate a sky that took so many billions
To become one of which it is now
You bring it into your own reality within moments
The lovely lights glow on a cotton canvas
Making music with the latex
darkening what's surrounding it
But me?
Mine are ugly
I leave rotting flesh in the daylight
Spred the shine of blood and paste the teeth of past fighters, veterans
They form the sight of ****** tires leaving streaks on asphalt
The animals that peel off roads, screaming with one last breath
in through your nose, out through your mouth
I'll hold you close and speak
"Let it melt in your mind"
"spit it out and light it up"
lets do it
together
we can burn the truth
Then we can take the melted remains
And make a balanced gallery
A museum made for 2
this poem took me about 3 months to properly write. the first draft started poor. the words felt bland and weak. I feel this new writing is much more descriptive.
