So It Runs Away
Skyler M Feb 2018
Hope goes out the window to run for the sun,
It's sinking into the ground so far away,
So it's around this time when I find my hands becoming cold,
Then my head being strung onto the curtains,
The sense of control is gone from my grasp,
My eyes are permanently shut as I curl into my bed,
I asked the Lord for perseverance again,
Then I remember I don't believe and He'll never answer my calls,
So I grab the hidden razors and slit my eyes open,
I can see the nightmares walking around telling and stalling my planned death,
But nothing seems right as the rain falls into my room.
I cry out, please, help me.
I shout out my words, help me.
I scream my sentences, help me.

Imploding
Skyler M Nov 2024
****** nose leaking onto wood floors,
Blue eyes sullen into a dull grey,
Bruises curl 'round with menace,
Bother him when he gets to Hell.

Smell the rot,
Hear the flies.
See the corpse,
Feel the cold vein.

Grand display of regret and guilt,
Garden on display above his plot,
Good on him for finding his home,
Getting back to the real world soon.

Smell the flowers,
Hear the trees,
See the gravestone,
Feel the icy grass.

Hell's not so bad when its yours,
He's left his throne and ****** off,
Heaven's never bothered to intervene,
Here's a toast to reforming the sinners.

Smell the brimstone,
Hear the fire,
See the lost souls,
Feel the humid air.

Forgetting seems easier these days,
For what else can you really do,
Fork inside your steak as you stare,
Funny how it's all so meaningless.

Smell the red meat,
Hear the dishware,
See the watery blood,
Feel the existential weight.

I'm not alone but it still stings,
Intermittently regressing inside,
Inside of an imploding star,
Internally dying once again.

Three Eyes, Three Guns
Skyler M Nov 2017
Is the devil crawling from hell?
Reaching out to take you down?
I'm the demon that you feared,
The one that'll make you drown.

I've got three eyes, one to see you fail,
One to shoot you down, and the last to **** your mind.

Can't you see me crawling from hell?
Reaching out to take you down?
I'm the devil that you feared,
The one that'll drown you in self-doubt.

I've got three eyes, one to see you fail,
One to shoot you down, and the last to **** your mind.

I can see in your eyes,
I'm killing you faster by the day,
Oh, it makes me smile.
Trust me.

I've got three guns, one for the pen,
One for the letters, and the last to **** your mind.

Entitled To Compensation
Skyler M Oct 2021
What's life,
Without suicide?
The contemplation,
To accuse the abused.

God forbid a kid,
But **** an adult,
The glorification,
To alter a perception.

Hungry for the other side,
We all assume we know,
So much so that we throw,
Our blood to the streets.

What's your life,
Without a suicide,
A kid with no thought left,
Knocked a chair to the right.

Released Draft
Skyler M Oct 2021
What if there’s nothing to look forward to?
A concert or two to keep me going.
And through the winter I might break.
This time, I don’t want to be turned in.
The hospital hasn’t done much for me.

Now I fall through bed-sheets,
Figuring out the meaning to living,
A pretentious ******* with no right,
What I'd do to become everything I want.

In the meantime,
Give me reasons to survive at bare minimum,
Holding only a grain of sand,
While everyone else seems to hold more.

Now I fall through bed-sheets,
Figuring out the meaning to living,
A pretentious ******* with no right,
What I'd do to become everything I want.
Skyler M Oct 2021
Im tired of pretending that Im any good at singing,
Cause my vocal cords crack and groan at every note,
Maybe I don't drink enough water,
or maybe my throat is just sick of me singing.

I don't know anything more than four cords,
My guitar doesn't see much use except abuse,
Although my piano just might be a *******,
I'm just a fool with a tool to speak his muse.

I wanna find it inside of myself,
A driving passion to bring money home,
Cause I'm sitting here with nothing,
Except a couple dollars to my name.

The poems I write are far too basic,
Nobody likes them but to be fair neither do I,
I can't show my face to anybody now,
Cause the porcelain is beginning to break.

It's chipping away, away, away...
Down the drain, away, away, away...
And now I sway, away, away, away...
In my room as a dull tool who loves music,
away, away, away...
Skyler M Sep 2018
A little touch of your voice,
A little shiver running down my spine,
A little clock stops the time,
I turn towards your kingdom,
And where it may be, may not be there at all,
Sometimes I feel like I need it there,
So I pretend that I love you and that I need you,
I don't understand why God died,
But I see your face in the many pictures of my childhood.

I'm the only one in my room,
Laying on my bed, alone,
Colder as the night creeps along,
Could I ask the Spirit to save me again?
I need their touch now, right now.

Looking through my old toys,
Finding them to be ripped and grayed,
I've lost my mind through illnesses that I can't control,
The memories attached make me shiver,
I can't remember the last time I ate a meal happily,
Maybe I can find God inside the stuffing of my old teddy bear,
If his heart beats inside than maybe I'll believe,
But I don't see God in all the newest pictures of myself.

I'm the only one in my room,
Laying on my bed, alone,
Colder as the night creeps along,
Could I ask the Spirit to save me again?
I need their touch now, right now.

Wait for my dad, I’ll feel the tone,

Put down the gun
Put down the gun
We’ve got you son,
We’ve got you son
You’ve had enough fun,
You've had enough fun.

Gunned down the store,
Modified gun, **** man,
Took a step outside,
Made it out alive.

“Let us inside!” They cried
“Let us inside!” They cried
The men in blue won’t abide,
The men in blue won’t abide,
Cover up the **** up, they lied,
It won’t blow over, they lied!

21 and under,
No need to worry about cars,
It’s your survival skills,
What are your exits?
Can you fight?
The rule-makers won’t give up guns,
Now you dropped to second in the food chain,
Arrogant white boys, they won’t die, so they’ll plow on.

12 years, we’ve been hit,
1,400 laid in graves,
Here’s to your souls,
Here’s to the kids,
Here’s to the families,
Here’s to the innocents.
I don’t know where you go,
But I hope you’re happy where you are.

I’m drinking bleach,
Yum.

Life is just a peach,
Ate a seed.

Sitting on the beach,
Blood on my feet.

I’m so glad I’m me,
Who would I be?

I couldn’t reach,
The whole meal.

I’m drinking bleach,
Yum.

Cause I’m a leech,
Won’t you please,
Forgive me?

Forgive me?

Forgive me?

If you know what I mean,
Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Show me where I began,
Now show me where I end,
I can't feel anything but the breathing,
It's rolling over my own shoulders,
Blades penetrate my ****** eyes.

Up down, round my stem,
Carve me up, carve me out,
In, out, scoop my guts,
Carve me up, carve me out.

I'm sitting on an abandoned fender,
Out on your front porch, I'm bending.
You're letting me see what it means to be,
All up inside all the misery that you feel inside,
Throw me away when my time comes nigh.

Enjoy The Show
Skyler M Nov 2024
Got a feeling you enjoyed the show,
You’re alone in a seat at the front row,
Saw you smile like you knew I’d blow it,
Took me years but I can now decode it.

All I do is question,
Am I who I say I am?
Am I who I say I am?

Believed I was going insane,
Composure I tried to maintain,
Came undone, I tried to explain,
A creature feature for your gain.

Pick the raw stitching by my eyes,
Intent seemingly to antagonize,
A breakdown, only to be utilized,
Proved you're justified to terrorize.

Wish I didn't give a ****,
Am I who I say I am?
Am I who I say I am?

Believed I was going insane,
Composure I tried to maintain,
Came undone, I tried to explain,
A creature feature for your gain.

Now all I do is question,
Am I who I say I am?
Am I who I say I am?

Wish I didn't give a ****,
Am I who I say I am?

You wanted to hear a confession:
"I'm a liar,

You've been right,

We've got problems together,
We will go through this togther.

In the latest of nights,
I'll be the one by your side,
Reaching for your hand.

The one you love doesn't understand,
So I'm the one you fall back on.

Two Hands
Skyler M Feb 2018
Two hands will start bleeding again,
They don’t have a body only a stump,
They bleed colorful liquid onto the carpet of my room,
As I try to stitch them up,
They fall apart as I crash into the floor,
Melding into the carpet and messy clothes,
The hands start to flood my room,
I’m drowning in the rainbow syrup,
The hands are dead on the floor once more,
It’s time for me to fade.

******* down fading brains,
Showing up to broken theater shows,
Shaking hands too wet to breathe,
Sinking eyeballs into the deep oil.

Cooler boys rested up on champagne,
Cooped up inside muddled sounds,
Crouching under bright green pathways,
Crumbling stones on tombstones.

Acting up to start a hurricane,
Accepting a life worth living,
Ate all of his supper with gratefulness,
Account for all the crowns left rotting.

Read moss covered signs,
Record voices among trees,
Rescue his passion from a grimy sea,
Receive praise and survive.

End with a bright yellow,
Entrance eyes and more to discover,
Enter with a word in hand,
Escape death with a breath of passion.

Dreaming thoughtfully over miles of land,
Dusk approaches his feet and brightens the night,
Drumming out fears of growing old,
Doors lead to newer worlds that he never believed real.

Why don't you take a chance?
Give me a little time to sweep the night away?
I can't be everything you want,
But I can give it a shot.

I'm insecure,
Think you're cute,
And want to see you smile,
I'm no ****** angel but I can show you heaven.

Well, if we're being cheesy,
Then I might as well let you know,
I've fallen for you so hard,
Like Lucifer from God's eyes.

I'm uncomfortable,
Think you're sweet,
And want to see you laugh,
I'm no ****** devil but I can shake a hand.

Days again, passing over,
Like this mindset that we end up hiding,
Do you trust me enough to fly?
I've got my wings ******* in single file.

I'm insecure,
I'm uncomfortable,
But you're cute and you're sweet,
So I'll figure that **** out some other time.

Time Flies
Skyler M Feb 2019
Oh, I know, we haven't talked much,
It's been forever since we've seen each other,
I fell for your lack of words,
In the darkest hours of my nights,
When I allowed the acid to run down my skin.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

It rained in through the roof,
The people beside myself crying "deliver me"
The walls inside the room closed up so tight,
All I could see was the sky,
And in the sky I couldn't see anybody,
Yet I yelled and I screamed,
Terrified, petrified,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

"Destroy me."

Its gonna be some long nights for all of us,
I wish I could say I remember more,
I was young but I said I loved you,
Wanted to marry you, didn’t I?

Now I understand why,
When I take a look back on all those pictures, I,
Know that you had a heart made of home,
Homemade cooking and some pleasant hugs.

Tall and handsome with a charming smile,
Tux, dressed up to those soft brown locks,
I hoped we could talk sometime that day,
Never did and now it’s the time to regret it.

Now I understand why,
When I take a second glance at limited memories,
I know that you had a chest made of family,
Thanksgiving dinner and fresh deer jerky.

You showed me how to shoot the bow and arrow,
Didn’t let me touch but I watched anyways,
Flipped onto the trampoline with a little bro,
Mom said no but you smiled and did it anyways,
I was too scared but I admired your bravery.

Now I understand why,
When I take a look back on all those pictures, I,
Know that you had a heart made of home,
Homemade cooking and some pleasant hugs.
We love and miss you. 04/12/2020

I've got to move far away,
This dreadful town has me in tears,
A new sunset to appreciate every night,
Holding me down with an existential weight.

There's no telling that I'd do, friend,
To pack my bags and *******,
Against everyone's wishes,
I'm a failure to touch or view.

Its selfish to ask for help,
And I'd be begging to be killed,
Without it.

Give me a sign,
from the love of nobody's life,
I'll sign my life away to the metal,
Rind my teeth against bones,
Just to feel justified in my selfishness.

Don't ******* help me,
I'll do it all on my own,
Just get drunk, smoke some ****,
Burrow deeper into the molten hot sand.

Maybe I'll write a story about how I learned to survive,
Then reflect back on myself to see that I've still died.
I'm still figuring out how to die.
Figuring out if I can die.

Cause it's all futile,
To ask for help, I'd be a manipulator,
And if I called home,
Would anyone answer and take me seriously?

I’m stranded on this wooden raft,
Surrounded by the ghosts of the deep,
My body is falling apart with every move I make to keep myself awake,
Eyes stare me down from the waves above me,
They never could crash down onto me,
But I’m asking politely, please.
The dark waters call my name,
I’m asking myself if this is what I was meant to be all this time,
I can taste the blood welling into my mouth,
Cause nothing tastes as I want it to anymore.

I’m calling you down,
From your hiding place,
Please.
Save me.

Sitting in the backyard, on our trampoline,
It's dark now and the stars have come out,
If there's anything I can do to make you happy,
Let me know cause I am not enough for you.

Shooting stars, flying over our heads,
In streaks of white and purples,
Will it crash into us?
And show us the truth about ourselves that we may not believe.

Stay strong, when you're alone,
Inside a room made of nothing but lead,
It's heavy and poisonous to breath it in is death,
But you say that that's what you want?
Why do you want to leave?
I need you to stay with me.

I never saw you for what you were,
Only for what you gave,
Then you crushed me into the ground,
So I'd fine myself home-bound.

Everlasting glowing eyes,
Holding onto me and my fortune,
Giving up every other right to mine,
Maybe you can be good.

Skyler M Sep 2024
Staring off into the distance,
Watching smoke obscure the mountains,
A hazy horizon calls for a dance,
How did I end up at none of my destinations?

Everything becomes a dream,
Neglected all my feathers
They dont shine in the moonbeam,
And I'm falling despite my tethers.

Caught wind on the overpass,
This beat trapped my heartstrings,
Oh, why does it never last?
Not an ounce of trust in my wings.

Everything becomes a dream,
Neglected all my feathers,
They don't shine in the moonbeam,
And I'm falling despite my tethers.

Staring at a pink haze,
I don't care if I get paid,
It's all to navigate the maze,
Before my starry eyes fade.

Everything is just a dream,
I'm losing all my feathers,
I won't bathe in the moonbeam,
Im cutting all my tethers.

Becomes what you'll never know,
So won't you find another way?

This isn't what you foresee,
This isn't what you can be,
This isn't what you wanted to happen,
This isn't what you seek under lighthouses of fog.

Burning down the house,
So you can say goodbye,
Cause you're so terrified.

This isn't where you sleep,
This isn't where you abandon your grief,
This isn't where you carry my burden for me,
This isn't where you keep your demons.

In the dead of the night when I cannot hear it.

Please don't go,
No please don't go.

My stretched black binder,
Holds me together every day,
I don't know how I'd live without it.

I need you here beside me,
Break the spell of living the same day over and over.

The broken but useful headphones on the floor,
Tell their stories of when they remembered their home,
Upon my head and playing what I need to hear.

The sun will dip inside my head,
And winter will come.

Along with the plethora of torn notebooks,
Scattered across my floor,
From all the inspiration I had gathered from day one.

Jump back to square one within a month.

Weeks turn months,
I'm done trying to rhyme,
I'm so tired of this sick mind,
Nothing ever feels like it's mine,
I'm a coward hiding under the sheets,
Monsters come and sit with me on my bed,
Watching as I sink further into a tantalizing plan.

Skin I destroy,
Faking joy,
This is my ploy,

Falling asleep is always hard now,
I remember when I could close my eyes and get transported,
Into a world where life and death mean nothing at all.

Space becomes twisted and ties me up every night now,
Whispering it's wishes into my ear,
I can't see life from death anymore.

Calling for my soul to wake up,
Find the courage to see the horizon ahead,
Where is death and when did life die?

I can't decide whether or not I'm alive or dead,
Sometimes things that get on the brink,
Are always called dead.

Shake me awake and take me home again,
My words keep losing meaning,
Whenever he comes home and keeps me alive.

Harder and longer goes days and weeks,
When will I see the light again?
I'm just wishing to wake the hell up.

I'm no longer able to focus,
Where did he go from my home?
Shaken into death now.

Turning planets and crashing stars,
Back into my vision once again,
I only want death, don't you?

It's time for snow to fall,
Strike me through,
Let me bleed out.

Everyday the signs blur further,
My eyes deteriorating,
Fading into obscurity,
Beyond how I thought they’d decay.

Just as the days grow colder,
The trees fall into their routine,
Inviting me to fall too.

Everyday my breaths hug tighter,
Each inhale clamps around my lungs,
How long till I suffocate?
I’ll find peace in this fate.

Just as the days grow colder,
The trees fall into their routine,
Inviting me to fall too.

Everyday the memory I cling to,
My mind deteriorating,
Fading into obscurity,
Beyond how I thought they’d decay.

Not a day goes by,
Now its endless,
Useless,
Peer upon the fuseless,
Electric machine I pilot,
Created a solution in a daydream.

Now the days stay colder,
The trees fell into the routine,
They invited me to fall too.

Keep them coming 'round,
Keep me entertained,
Keep the tensions high,
Keep my cheeks red as the sheets.

Compliment me,
Take me out to coffee,
Fall in love with me,
And watch me leave.

Keep them satisfied,
Keep me depressed,
Keep the music low,
Keep my sadness at the end of the bay.

They keep falling for me,
And I'm just not ready,
I don't understand,
Just what I've done right,
I just wish they could do the same to me.

I miss your long kisses
I miss our long drives
I miss feeling happy,
And now I’m going absolutely ******* crazy!!!

You’re gonna leave and I’m not ready,
You’re gonna leave so just wait right here
You’re gonna leave what if I ask for one more kiss?

Perhaps the things we love the most are better off alone,
I’m bitter and prone to skipping stones against the walls,
Bored out of my ******* mind but you’re entertaining and I..

miss your long kisses
I miss our long drives
I miss feeling happy,
And now I’m going absolutely ******* crazy!!!
Bonkers, insane, publicly shamed.

And I wish you the best life,
But I also would admit my crush on you,
That I have had since my sweet sixteen,
It’s been a couple years and I’m all *******,
In alcohol dreams and suicide teams.

Incomprehensible Ramble
Skyler M Dec 2024
An arm reaches up towards the sky,
Am I to believe it's mine?

The ceiling shifts under an unyielding stare,
Am I to look away unquestioningly?

If all there is to mange is a consciousness,
Am I to believe I'm stable?

The midnight's so dark these days,
Where's the stars to guide me?

Guide me.

Guide me.

Guide me somewhere.

Guide me.

Guide me.

Guide me somewhere.

Can't step foot outside this forest,
Am I to believe I'm loveable?

Love me.

Love me.

Love me somehow.

Love me.

Love me.

With everything that's been given,
Am I to reclaim what's left behind?

Left me.

Left me.

Left me somewhere.

Left me.

Left me.

Dull and hardened after the war,
Won't find solace at a dive bar,
Lock me up and crash the car,
I hate who I am thus far.

The midnight's so dark these days,
Where's the stars to guide me?

Guide me.

Guide me.

Guide me somewhere.

Guide me.

Guide me.

Guide me somewhere,
So I can die anywhere,
Anywhere but here.
Don't want to die here.
Welp. I'll smoke these feelings away for the time being. At least until my therapy appointment.

Raised To Be
Skyler M Aug 2024
When sitting within the room where I was reborn,
I cannot tell if the fumes that I exhale are toxic,
When I'm so afraid for anyone to know me,
For what if they find out I'm a tyrant before I do?

Sitting in a crowded room with the lights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage.

I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage,
A dictator pleading with deities for forgiveness,
Ravage the next night with vicious vices,
I am nothing more than a young and dumb kid.

Sitting in a crowded room with the lights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I wish I was confident in my impoverished crimes.

Don't look my way, no, cause I'll feel it,
Bitterness that crawls into my throat-

Is it that I'm a bad dog?
Am I dog trained to protect myself?
Or am I a stray yearning for a home?
Can I follow someone home and curl into their lap?
Can I lick my own wounds and share them carefully?
Or will my hackles begin to raise as my lip curls?
Or will I turn to bite and tear at the hand's flesh?

Sitting in a crowded room with the limelights,
Bearing down on my shoulders and tongue,
Manage the twisting shame through trials,
I am a twisted beast full of sin and carnage.

I am as I was raised to be.

More so/Less so
Skyler M Dec 2024
Remains spread across a mossy bed,
Trees warned of the wind above,
Dissuaded from reassembling,
Decided rotting was better,
Transforming into the earth below.

These hands,
These arms,
This torso,
This mess,

It’s more so,
Less so,
Guess so,
It’s so-so.

From moss comes the dewdrops,
Caught sight of the glimmer,
Travelling inside of fingernail beds,
Through pumping varicose veins,
The pressure erupts through-

These eyes,
These ears,
This nose,
This mess.

It’s more so,
Less so,
Guess so,
It’s so-so.

These legs,
These feet,
This tragedy,
This mess.

I’m less so,
More so,
Guess so,
I’m so-so.

Startled awake,
Thought I was fake,
It didn’t take,
For heaven’s sake.

Well Champ
Skyler M Nov 2020
Look for me,
In the speed,
Of the sunrise,
Photoscope roped,
Out my mind.

Well Champ,
You're a ****,
Don't pretend,
You're not sick.

Bought a flight,
To treat my oversight,
Fight because they're not right,
Outta here,
Definitely queer.

Mumbling Nonsense
Skyler M Apr 2020
Tingling fingers,
I know what comes soon,
They don't know though,
I suppose I should say something.

I know I'll be blamed,
Be shunned for ever feeling such a way.

What's Left
Skyler M Apr 30
What's left,
The carcass getting picked clean,
All the ****** bones at our feet,
Vultures have had their fill,
Circling above our heads,
Wishing for our downfall.

What's left,
Of a genocidal nation,
When it doesn't hide,
Wears it on its sleeve, that pride,
All the tears our enemies cried,
We flay all the children alive.

What's left,
After it all crumbles away,
The welfare state,
The indomitable hate,
Nobody can afford anything,
It'd all be gone and be too late.

Seek Sunday
Skyler M Feb 2018
The wind spins me five days away from Sunday,
The very particular day when all my problems are gone and I can say what’s on my mind,
The wind blows me ten days from hell raise no matter what I ever say,
It's a depressing day when I remember that there's most likely nothing to save me now.

Conclude my story with a leap--
Of faith to cascade into the deep,
Let me go so can find my twilight sleep,
For nothing in return I will weep.

Admittance to my problems and concluding my story of fake smiles and scolding a selfish thought,
The many wars and consolation I had fought,
In contributions to happiness I had bought,
Of course I wasn't happy, not by a long shot.

Conclude my story with a leap--
Of faith to cascade into the deep,
Let me go so can find my twilight sleep,
For nothing in return I will weep.

Head from Hand
Skyler M Feb 2020
I can't tell my head from my hands,
There's a similarity of my palms,
The curves that dive down and then back up,
Appear similar to the dips and hills of my brain.

It's like I can't feel you anymore,
Your touch, it's bleak,
Your voice, it's muffled,
I'm scared of losing this heart of mine.

Important song and it takes on,
This whole new type of wrong,
I can't clean so I can't plead,
No more knees but I can see,
You're a lost charm,
Don't mean any harm,
But what the hell does it mean to be warm?

I wanna see you,
I want to need you,
I must plead you,
Insane.

Mantle
Skyler M Mar 2024
Something starts to surface,
Coming up from the mantle,
Praying for our own demise,
I suppose it's best to sever our ties.

I know I'm a bit of a let down,
A fading creature losing it's royal crown,
And it's happening so fast I'll drown,
Gone and drowned by now.

Tidying Up
Skyler M Mar 2024
All of these pages wasted,
Cause I'm sitting on the next, faded,
Writing about how I'm so jaded,
Would it be a crime if I made it?

I can be bad,
I can be worse,
I'll get cursed,
By God himself,
But I'm not that special,
I'm not that interesting.

Take it easy on yourself.

I'm tidying up this time,
Wrapping it up in a complex line,
Failing to see the internal crime,
Cause there wasn't one, it's fine.

I can be bad,
I can be worse,
I'll get cursed,
By God himself,
But I'm not that special,
I'm not that interesting.

Take it easy on yourself.
