braid
Riley Young Sep 2017
earthly desires surmount to not
the sublunar love of those
intertwined within our own consciousness
braided into one

Take me back
Riley Young Sep 2017
Marigold sunshine on the sweat of your brow
take me back
underneath that tree, you and me
take me back
no cares in the world

our tongues speak not
we need no words
take me back
take me back
its nice being back on here. Hello everyone!

Rage
Riley Young Apr 2017
Curdling and festering; his hate would burst. It would burst like the **** from a boil.
Apr 2017 · 348
Bold.
Riley Young Apr 2017
Trembling
The sound of the night shakes my very soul
What has this all come to?
An empty bed
An empty room
An empty heart
I am not alone.

Slowly Stopping
Riley Young Jan 2017
My heart has become fragile
Even the air itself seems It's out to get me

Gnarl
Riley Young Dec 2016
Wretched
Gangly and torn from the lonely nights in his room
He is not safe
He is not home

Lost
Riley Young Dec 2016
Dark silence rippled through the air
My lungs heaved, straining to drain in as much oxygen as I could consume
The beast in my innards yearning for freedom
Tearing and and ripping my insides
I can feel him
He feels entitled to be free
I cannot let him out
Now I'm lost

Neglect
Riley Young Dec 2016
How can you detest me?
You are the one who made me into what I am
Neglecting your creation makes you more loathsome than I
Look at me
Look what you have made
Dec 2016 · 237
Done
Riley Young Dec 2016
I'm done
I can't try anymore
All my effort was for nought

Childhood
Riley Young Dec 2016
I envy children
They have something I have lost
That magical sense of wonder
The joy of waking up to a new day
They don't know the hardships of life and are content
I envy their ignorance
One more dreamlike day would bring me solace
Sadly my childhood is long gone
Good things always come to an end

Undeserving
Riley Young Dec 2016
Love me, for I am not deserving
Take me into your arms, for I do not know another's touch
Heed my words, for I know not what I speak
Accept me
I don't think about anything I write. I just feel it and I type. Is that weird? xD

Misery
Riley Young Dec 2016
Fortitude falters
Morals are only bound to currency
Belief is a hopeful thought
Endless facades plague the waking world
Sympathy is only a bane to one's conscious
An apathetic mask shields me from the true horrors of this world
The pain of feeling
Dec 2016 · 225
Truth
Riley Young Dec 2016
You could never see me like I see you.
Riley Young Dec 2016
Conventional
The norm
Being what everyone else is
What good is that?
Living a conventional life is a fake life
Why step in your predecessors foot steps
Make your own
Think of what is new
What has not been thought of
Unconventionally be the you that's really you
Change is brought by time and the flow of new ideas
New ideas are unconvential
That is true beauty

Alive
Riley Young Dec 2016
Shine on my body
Broken from fear
Mend my wounds
Bear down on me
I shall not atone for my sins
You can make life a little more bearable

Seoul
Riley Young Dec 2016
The soul isn't comprehended yet acknowledged
We cannot see yet we believe
It feels strange
It feels right
I want to feel right
Not sure of my place
Yet comfortable where I am
Dec 2016 · 185
Back again
Riley Young Dec 2016
Fortunate
**** it
Unravel thy inner being
Bone be splintered inside the skin
Never dead
Just living in contempt
Isn't it the same?

Prolapse .1
Riley Young Dec 2016
The clavicle of my thought
Corroding my innerds as though knowing me
Amputations avast my yearning body
Smother me with remorse
Burn thy soul with your ecombered hands
Take the life which was given to me without my consent
Undeserving to be in such place
The music notes of life
A wide spread torrent
Downpour on those who do not believe
Those who shan't believe
Those
Those are free
Jagged pulse
Viens caked
Flow has softened
Work has stopped

Embrace change
Yet do not be taken by it
Stand firm in your ways even though you know it is futile
Dec 2016 · 253
Louse
Riley Young Dec 2016
Vigorous teeth
Healthy unforgiving love
The quake of reproach on this pike
Rippling of the fabric
Gouging sensations
Blissful reverie
Swarm

Wicker
Riley Young Dec 2016
Wicker
So frail
Yet so strong in its own element
Longing for that

Exod.1
Riley Young Dec 2016
I cannot be erased
I am to be loathed
The vermin you despise
Cumbersome I make your life
I drown you in shadows
You cannot resist
You are too weak
I am not darkness for I am light
I am what you need
Except me
Let me in
I need in
Dec 2016 · 348
Jess
Riley Young Dec 2016
Oh jess
You were mine
Now you aren't
Can't be followed
Unattainable
My fingers grasped dearly for you but yet no love could have held you tight enough
I was cumbersome to you
I felt too much
Now I am lost
Unable to feel
Reeling from the lapse of you not being in my life
Unable to feel
I want to feel
Feel your soft embrace
It wasn't great but I'll treasure it
Both walking in opposite directions
My heart is mine alone
While I'll always miss you I'll never need you
I will be content
Dec 2016 · 303
Void
Riley Young Dec 2016
Countless cases of fraudulent sympathy
Sympathizing for one while one doesn't truly care
A facade
Dropping the veil from its tethered place on the stage of eternity
Unmasking the darkest truth there is to one
Our soul
Our heart
Stuck in reverie
Musing our souls as one
This cannot be
We shall remain independent of one another
Unable to see true self worth in only ourself while we so desperately cling to others
Humility

He lay on his right side trembling with horror of the blight which had succumbed him. Crawling, squirming, the creature sacredly broke through his flesh.

Short
Riley Young Dec 2016
Solitary yet surrounded by joyous whims
Memories flutter
The soul

Free
Riley Young Dec 2016
Why must we sit and be shackled each and every day?
I yearn to be free
Free of what makes us so dull and uncompelling
Free to dream
Free to not fear what my future hold and rather embrace the uncertainty
To be free is to live and to live is to be free
With this said I am doing neither
Freedom eludes me
I want to live

Hallow
Riley Young Dec 2016
The wall seemed favorable and was blackened by the ever gaining shadow of the sun slowly descending in the distance. He stood motionless. In aw by the gaze which the darkness seemed to cast. A shadow. Doubting his newly found conviction he waited. Unable to hear the shrieks of carnage in the distance for the carnage in his heart was deafening. Cold gripped his breath as he drew from his sheath. He felt nothing. The feeling of emotion had be cast into the depths of his wounded heart. He used thought as a crutch rather then lending his sense to the emotions he had throw away. Yet now he thought nothing. Only body movements were capable now. Slowly drawing the blade further into his chest he saw snow.

Meta
Riley Young Dec 2016
I'm lost, lost in the never ending loop of yearning for something. I can't place it. Material gains will only bring me a set amount of joy for it is what I want rather than what I need. I am empty. Emotions don't feel like they used to. I don't feel like I used to. I want to feel.

No matter what you'll move on
He doesn't define you
Just remember one solid fact
You will never unswallow his ***

Sick af
Riley Young Dec 2016
I'm sick
I'm tired
I can't stand the effect of the weather
It's a joyous time but ***** it because it got me sick
Allergies **** ****
At least there's hot chocolate

College
Riley Young Dec 2016
I'm not sure what todo with life
College is so far yet it's so close
Being a junior is the most exhausting and tiring experiences I've had so far in my 17 years of life
I don't know what the future will hold and I'm not scared but at the same time I am
Quite the paradox
I have confidence but I fear I'll falter
It's always been my kind of thing to ramble
Dec 2016 · 207
Her
Riley Young Dec 2016
Her
Her eyes were clearly vacant
Completely unaware to the fact of how much she crosses my mind
Unfailable beauty charts her every move
A goddess in my eyes
Everything I could want
She never looks
I do
She doesn't want me but I'll always wait for her
Dec 2016 · 188
You
Riley Young Dec 2016
You
Normality is a facet of life
Conforming and yearning to fit it
Not knowing what true happiness is
Fearful of being found
The one inside
Hiding
Escape this woeful trend
Escape!
Be free
Be learned
Be you
Dec 2016 · 223
Internal
Riley Young Dec 2016
Cumbersome is the life lead by those who shudder at the shadow of doubt
Hindered by the coughing darkness that they try to but cannot shed
The light within shall not fade
Burning silently
The heart

— The End —
