Watch Me, I'll Grow
Skyler M Oct 2018
Watch me,
I dare you,
Watch me grow.
You told me I'll never do so,
I'm paving my own road,
From the road that was cracked and beaten,
Into one of fresh cement,
Watch me,
I dare you,
Watch me grow,
I'll become better than anything you've ever known,
I'll break you down and tell you off,
The power in my hands will **** your inspiration in me.

Disconnect
Skyler M Aug 2022
Hey, I’m gonna ask politely,
As kindly as I possibly can,
In a way that there’s no way you’ll say no,
“Could you help me take my skin off?”
My hollow bones are too wet,
And my pink flesh is too tight,
If I had the strength I’d do it myself,
But it’s easier when you’ve got a friend.

Pull it all off,
I want to be,
A skeletal system,
Making its way down Main Street.

Now I’m getting greedy,
It’s day two, you helped put it back on,
I think I need you again, friend,
Is this an addiction?
No I don’t think so cause I’ve got my head still,
Do you mind taking my head off?
Disconnect.
.

.

.
.
.

I’m emotionally detached,
And also exhausted,
Cause you’re an oil tycoon,
Draining all my energy and blood,
It’s funny for you to see me die again.

Home Is Where I Died
Skyler M Oct 2017
I dream of life outside,
the walls that caved me in.
In this particular silence,
without rhythm does my heart beat.

Under the trees
and forestry greens
a life you refused to see
blinded by the holy grail in your way

Home is where I died

Ink from the Pen
Skyler M Feb 2018
The ink from my pen spills onto the sand,
My hands drop down to scoop it all up,
Like an addict with *******, I'm enraptured by the pain,
So I'm getting it tattooed into the page that sits inside my head,
The ink in the sand spreads into the sea,
Blackening it all so that I can dip myself inside,
I submerge myself in the ink-water, smiling as I breathe in the liquid,
Exhaling colorful water to keep myself alive and well.

Universe
Skyler M Jan 2021
There's a place that I wanna go,
Somewhere that I've never gone,
Someplace that I wanna stay,
And leave this troubled place.

Here come the red lights,
Red hair and suit coat,
Laden in sinners blood,
What else would he be but bold.

Escape the body I feel,
Maybe I'll be on my knees,
Never ever breaking free,
Of the confines I write.

Here come the red lights,
Red hair and suit coat,
Laden with sinners blood,
Who else would I know.

There's a place I wanna be,
To exist and never leave,
Till my body dies and stuck there,
While I'm off in space without a fare.

Worn To Nothing
Skyler M May 2019
My corpse worn to nothing,
Could I prove that I am something?
The world might come to an end,
Unless you've got a hand to lend.
Every night I need to comprise,
It's proven worthy to be concise.

In the morning,
Send a warning,
I'll be there soon.

Alien ink thinks to itself,
While it sits upon the shelf,
In the corner of my vision,
It's a collision, a kaleidoscope,
microscopic, atomic atom particles,
I don't have any obstacles,
Other than my fears and self-destruction.

In the morning,
When it starts warming,
My corpse starts forming, reforming,
Send me a text,
I'll catch up to you next.

Sit up, It isn't Bedtime
Skyler M Sep 2019
Jaundice on my skin,
Texture like old paper,
With every page turned,
I am learning something new.

Sit up,
It's not bedtime yet,
Sit up,
You have some ideas,
Sit up,
You can do this.

Take care of my nails,
While I stand in the center,
Of my palm while dreaming,
November might take me home.

Sit up,
The list is incomplete,
Sit up,
Your name isn't written,
Sit up,
The sun is yours to grasp.

Jaundice on my eyeballs,
I haven't drank a drop in my life,
Yet I feel drunk with shaky legs,
And I won't stop feeling so inspired.

Possibility vs. Reality
Skyler M Oct 2019
Arms out against the cold,
Wind is blowing, I'm told,
"Possibility becomes reality."
I just wanna run down the town,
Look at the seeds that you have sown.

The seats you have left untouched,
Are feeling like you were unjust,
To the friends you have lost,
Sing that song of Home,
It'll forgive you for Rome.

Pretty Sir
Skyler M Feb 2018
You are so sure,
That you hold the key to unlock the meaning,
To your life and everything in the clouds,
I encourage you to fly away into your own body,
The stronger you believe yourself to be, that'll be how strong you'll become.

Tell me pretty sir,
What’s your preferred name,
They all call you James,
But you wanna be a nightmare or a night-scare.

They all hold you back but I'm here to tell you,
You're the sky itself so grab a hold of the lightning and the rain,
You have everything under your own mind,
Who cares if they take away the clouds,
The time has come for you to breath in plumes of life.

Tell me pretty sir,
What’s your preferred name,
They all call you James,
But you wanna be a nightmare or a night-scare.

Bunny Buddies
Skyler M Jun 2021
Well, every day and night.
Every moment alive,
We spent our time,
Together by the roadside.

Just two bunny buddies,
Loving our free-roaming,
Black and white,
Contrasting to passing eyes.

And every day and night,
One boy would pass us by,
Pondering the day,
That he might not see us,
Here on the roadside.

Just two bunny buddies,
Loving our fun little lives,
Black and white,
Contrasting to passing eyes.

A roadside attraction,
Turned tragic,
Why wasn’t it me?
Why wasn’t it me?
WHY WASNT IT ME.

Just one bunny buddy,
Mourning over a lost life,
Just black.
Left to fend off passing eyes,
And a burdened boy who saw the aftermath,
And left it to rot.
This really ****** me up. I don’t usually give context to my poems. I don’t have anywhere else to vent something like this. The road I take to get home is narrow and curvy. Very dangerous if you’re not paying attention. There are animals in the area. The main cast being two bunnies, a black one and a white one. They hung out all the time and I would slow down to make sure I never ever hit them. I always had the intrusive thought of one of those bunnies dying. It came true. I rolled up the road and there they were. The black bunny was standing over the white one. It hit me like a ******* brick. I couldn’t and can’t stop crying. I’ve dealt with death and I’ve seen death. I still get so torn up. It was late, so I kept going. I feel selfish and guilty. So..y’know, made a poem.

Threads Off Ceilings
Skyler M Jan 2019
Shifting in between threads,
They hang from the ceiling,
And brush my hands as I continue forward,
It's as if this room is the center of my universe,
Cause everything's revolving besides me,
Though not around me like I used to think,
I can see glimpses outside of the thread strung windows,
But it's so cracked,
I could break out at any moment,
It's just the lack of courage that stops me in my tracks,
I don't want to break my knuckles or fill them with glass.

Remold
Skyler M Mar 2022
"Come home"
"Come home"
"Come home!" she begged me so.

"I won't"
"I won't"
"I won't!" I told her so.

"You're mold"
"You're mold"
"You're mold!" he's shouted at me so.

"I'm already home,
At a place that I can fold,
Breathe without a head cold,
Where I own all my clothes,
Won't come back 'til he's been remold."

Ode to Pilots
Skyler M Oct 2019
I stand, here in the trees
An ode to a song
And to my life as it roars
Satisfied with the direction
I walk on not a ledge but a bridge,
Hands on the ropes to keep steady

I stand, thanking myself and the people whom surround me,
You’re all contributors to this success,
Thank you from the bottom of this patched soul.

Ode to home, my love, and my friends,
I’m steady and on my way,
Compassion turned passion,
I’m so happy and overjoyed,
That your support keeps me grounded.

Check on me from time to time,
Cause I won’t lie I get down,
But I haven’t cut these wrists since I’ve turned 17,
I feel as if I’ve escaped, I’m in Trench, I’m not alone.

I’m alive.
I’m alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
I’m alive

What Comes Next?
Skyler M Jun 2018
Don't let this end.
Please look into my eyes and hold my hand,
We're terrified of what comes next,
What comes next?
Who really knows?
And to think I apologized to a plant today,
Am I really ready for this unforgiving world?
Well, so many have said no and I agree so let's do this together.

Can I just say that I hate my tongue?
It’s gotten so ****** so far.
The poison laced in my vocal cords.
What comes next?
Who really knows?
My teeth falling out already,
Cause I've told so many lies,
Would I be considered be a sinner?
Let’s pray I never make it out alive.

Cunning stranger, has their hand on my back.
They lead me to a cemetery and show me the lives that died inside of the short span of years that I’ve lived.
What comes next?
Who really knows?
I’m not afraid to change,
I will be ready for the day that I truly die.
Death doesn’t make me fear living, it makes me worship it.

Compact Crimes
Skyler M Apr 2019
Vibrant Jade colors mask the anxiety in your eyes,
I'm not blind and I can see right through you,
Perfectly compact our tiny useless fears,
Stop looking down at the ground,
Look at me before I take you to class.

Building beast borders bipolar,
Masses mourn my many mornings,
Passing pictures practice painting,
Could the coming crown create fiction?

Don't understand what I mean?
That's okay, baby boy,
You'll understand the words,
And with the words you can create universes through a mindful eye,
I'm a mind full boy with a mindful manner,
You're a savior in my ****** head.

Viruses vibrant violet vices,
Flair, flaunt, fictional foes,
Dead done deal, did do it's dying,
Green grass to Gruesome gore.

Midnight Frames
Skyler M Feb 2018
I refrain as my frame,
Continuously lies as I let out many unforgiving sighs,
I notice the water is deeper so I falter,
Then he calls me blasphemous as I become slowly passionless,
But that's just fine cause I don't need to follow him into the hollow,
I've got time to strive for my lifeline.

I’m Alive, December.
Skyler M Jun 2018
I'm awake again when I shouldn't be,
My eyes are studying the landscape of the ceiling,
Picking out pictures that come to breath and pulse,
In the darkness I can see the green glow of the planetary system,
I wonder if even survived that cold December night,
This happiness in my chest will fade away soon.

I see where I lay,
Under a sea of covers,
And I reach for the water but I’m sinking into the mattress,
I know where I’m going,
It’s going to be far, far away.
From today, I say,
“I’m alive, December.”

Would you believe me if I told you,
That I saw Saturn last night?
It was three a.m. and I was hating myself until I recognized it as it stuck to the ceiling.
Far away the ceiling goes as well the glow.
It’s okay cause if I am alive,
Then I can survive tonight,
I know just from memories that things will turn out okay,
Things are coming up sunny for me,
But for now my eyes are trapped on an ocean of green solar systems.
Forgive me for getting lost in myself.
I know it’s selfish, you don’t need to remind me.

I see where I lay,
Under a sea of covers,
And I reach for the water but I’m sinking into the mattress,
I know where I’m going,
It’s going to be far, far away.
From today, I scream,
“IM ALIVE, DECEMBER!”

Chair
Skyler M Feb 2018
I'm darting towards a chair,

Out of the many wooden chairs,

That are surrounding my head, body, and the chair that I target,

I stand on the chair out of the many other chairs,

I'm seeing other shadows standing on chairs,

They seem to be searching for a better chair than mine,

But that's okay cause I like my wooden chair,

It's enough to keep my eyes above the seas of leaves,

I look out among the waves of shadow people,

As they climb onto very particular chairs,

Perhaps in the ocean of all that can be seen,

The wobble of my chair distracts me from the beings,

I sit into the chair because I fear I might fall,

The chair becomes my humble abode as I stare into the leaves,

As they welcome me into sleep.

Saving Face
Skyler M Dec 2021
I’m splitting into two,
Two halves of a whole mess,
Breaking fast to the cliff edge,
Shouting back to save face,
But I’m losing it, I’m losing face.

I’m a terrifying beast,
No more than 4’
Weigh less than paper,
Fighting against the wind.

I don’t feel like myself,
I invite this sudden change as a victory,
Cause I’m saving my grace,
By moving away without a place,
To stay.

He’s haunting me and he loves it,
He’s taunting me and he loves it.

Light
Skyler M Feb 2018
Something pulls my feet from underneath the river's surface,
My eyes are drawn to a bright light at the other side,
It flashes mesmerizing colors and I'm leaning into the water,
My hands outreach for it's splendor as I truly start to render it's beauty,
I slip into the river and swim towards the light,
The tugging at my feet grows stronger as I get closer,
But I'm already on shore and I'm holding onto it's existence tightly,
The light glimmers as I hold it close in loving comfort,
I pray to whatever created me that it'll never leave me here to wallow underneath the river.

Prey
Skyler M Nov 2017
I found myself on the edge of your vision,
I've fallen into something much bigger than myself,
Taken a bite onto something that I can't control,
It's my love for you and I'm ripping the flesh off of my body.

Realizing I've lost my heart,
I should've kept my distance,
You're an animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense don't mean much when you're around.

You're the one I need now,
In the eternity of night,
If I leave with no warning,
Just know that I'll be back.

Realizing I've lost my eyes,
I've tried to keep my distance,
You're the animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense comes crashing down when you're around.

Things are killing me and tearing me up,
Inside out,
Guts to eyes,
Wreck my vibe in discordant nights,
I’m afraid that I’ll loose control and take back my tar black crown.

I’m the ruler of a tainted empire,
I’m the saint that your mother warned you of,
I’ll cut you down and string you up along the forest paths.

I won’t cross my fingers cause I’m not scared to die,
Breaking bones,
Come on home,
I’ll hold you down and bruise your back,
You’re the victim of God tonight.

I’m the ruler of a tainted empire,
I’m the saint that your mother warned you of,
I’ll cut you down and string you up along the forest paths.

I’m just your average boy,
Black fingers and black roses,
Corrupted carnage carriages,
Scared for your family are you now?
I’ve the lord of your life,
Now kneel before I make you, my darlings...

Trained Well

Screaming baby on haunted doors,
Cereal running off the store shelves,
Spectral shining house of solid gold,
Truth been told in the sight of the moon.

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
I want to know who you are,
Beyond what I’ve been allowed to see.

God said that similar traits aren’t friends,
Discordant houses won’t know the good end,
Old blood can’t enjoy their new blood,
Rub the face with **** and mud,
Show the puppy dog what's been done.
I call *******. Hit Dad in his dried up prune head!

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
Yeah I want to know who you are,
I want to know where,
Beyond the bird prints by your eyes.

Demon hauled out of yellowed plastic sheets,
Tailing Lucifer down to where it reeks,
Anti-heroes are full of rotten fun,
Devil pushes, I bid farewell,
Bulging grey pavement falls away and fades.

I know the game I played,
I know the pain I made,
I know the brains I plague,
You're helping a monster who’s defense is serrated,
Cutting talons and spikes still it seems he's hated,
A beast who'd prefer not to be.

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
I want to know who you are,
Beyond what I’ve been allowed to see.
At least I know you see me.

Unsatisfactory Poem

Who do I know enough to say that I can’t walk any farther on these legs?
Why can’t I tell them that I’m falling so far?

But I refrain because my frame is so close To the car waiting for me on the side of the road.

Childhood Eye
Skyler M Feb 2019
"The cure comes from what we seek,"
Says our tiny human brain,
So come outside and take a peek,
Watch as the rain may repaint,
Our skin, and it may reek,
It will drain us of our frame,
Leaving us without a need to be weak.

Listen to the pattering drop dead, dead silence,
Until we're told that in order to revive we must relive violence,
Through our childhood eye, we're not proud of compliance.

One life to live it, never mind, I'll take it,
It'll be time before you realize the sin was sitting,
You'll be sick and frail until you fake it,
Alternate versions of biting syllables,
Thought you never could be considered dead for a sit,
It seems as though you never thought it'd be hitting until you started quitting.

Listen to the pattering drop dead, dead silence,
Until we're told that in order to revive we must relive violence,
Through our childhood eye, we're not proud of compliance.

Through the winding chimes of fall.

I can see it now,
Though it isn't clear,
It's enough to say I've done something,
To say that I'm not alone,
In a world where being alone is praised.

Black interior seats envision me,
Wrapping around the slightest of sounds,
Completing the time against reeled hooks,
His grown up and realizing,
Things will never be perfect,
But it's good enough to keep pushing.

Get out of this world,

Will break your jaw if you run,

Let Me Sleep
Skyler M Jan 2018
I hope it is sufficient that the reason for my purpose is unknown,
I will try my own **** hardest to prevent my legs from sinking,
The forest surrounding me keeps caving into reckless abandon,
I will finally surrender so I'm back on the ground,
Rocking back and forth to try and plead,  "mercy me!"
Cause simply living feels like a force to reckoned with,
and I just want to get some sleep so that I can face the day,

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

Despite the ***** crimes closing in on me,
I absolutely cannot see the forest for the trees,
I understand what I need to be another lamb,
but I've been asking for help since the day I thought, "Why?"
I searched and found my soul inside the merciless trees,
Noticed that every hole that I found was deeper than the last,
Despite the fact that I know I've lost myself,
The sun will rise and I'll fear what I don't believe again.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

I've been dragging myself around by the hair of my nape,
Searching for my dreams or the goal that I can reach,
Brought back from death for I was fearing life itself,
and for the timeless time that I was there,
I am back again to properly surrender my underestimated power,
Instead I'm slipping down the drain.

Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?
Won't you?
Won't you?
Won't you let me sleep tonight?

So won’t you just
Lead me away
And hold me here
Into sleep

Here I am
Under the stars
I can see you
Following them
Away from me
Into sleep.

Here I am
To believe
But my knees are weak
And palms unclean

Walk away
Away from me
Into sleep I go..

I’m burned out,
And I’m a ******* freak.

Good luck, bringing me home.
Cause you won’t see me anymore.
My seat will be empty for the holidays,
I know that you won’t care but…
Everyone else will.

Teen
Skyler M Aug 2018
Aching from the outside into the inside,
Don't know where most of the wounds came from,
Though I do know that I can't stand the sight of them all.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

Call me a teenager,
I'm making a fool out of myself,
If I told you the things I loved,
You wouldn't care,
But if I tell you the things I hate,
I'm so selfish for talking about them.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

Scars on my arm,
If it's romantic or edgy,
That's up to you to choose,
I can't wait to get older,
Maybe I'll get taken seriously,
I try my best to look natural,
You still put me down.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

I guess, this is who I am,
And I need to remind myself of that,
But you don't like me,
You think you know my head,
You think you know my struggles,
Well I'd like you to leave.

Poison
Skyler M Nov 2017
Fingers curled in that,
Poison laced,
Golden hair.

You're keeping back,
All of the lies,
That she holds inside.

She's breaking you apart,
Killing you from the inside,
Poisoning your bones.

Messaged me up at three am,
Told me you'd be leaving her,
The next morning she's pulled you back.

I'm watching all of this go down,
Hating every moment,
Toxin drips down your spine.

You puked out everything you ever had,
To keep holding onto her black hand,
Your eyes are distant now.

Your beat tells you,
You can't deny,
The love you hold onto.

Your nerves tell you,
Maybe you're just trying to hide,
From her back-stabbing plan.

Take me Home
Skyler M Sep 2018
we're all afraid,
So afraid,
Of blank pages,
and empty promises.

Take me home,
Take me home now.

we're all afraid,
So afraid,
Of burning trees,
and what we see.

I need to go home,
Please let me go home.

we're all afraid,
So afraid,
Of sudden changes,
and futures mangled.

My hair's matted and my hands burnt,
I just need to go home right now.

we're all afraid,
So afraid,
Denying is proof,
and I won't take it back.

Take me home.
Take me home.
Take me home.

Eyes of Gas
Skyler M Nov 2017
With eyes of gasoline,
so close to burning up,
you could ignite the last of us.

For real, let's take a minute,
Why don't we watch from the very beginning,
The moment you found a way to clear your head.

You pretend you're so cold,
And I'm not even trying to hide,
Holding on to no man,
But an evil like yourself.

For real, let's take a minute,
Why don't we watch from the very beginning,
The moment you found a way to clear your head.

All the chaos keeping your hold,
Breathing in all the second hand smoke,
The alarm goes off inside your head,
Remembering something more than me.

With eyes of gasoline,
so close to burning up,
you could ignite the last of us.

Mrs. Creativity
Skyler M Oct 2017
I found my place,
Among the broken individuals who,
Foretold me of a place much brighter than this.

I almost couldn't believe them,
Until I made contacted the infamous Mrs. Creativity,
She told I could make it if stayed a little longer.

Telling me to throw away the knife in the cabinet,
I obliged, my hands trembling as it slipped down the garbage.
I could tell my back got lighter as my wings began to spread.

Mr. Lake left me alone last night and I fell asleep in peace.
I couldn't wait to go and tell for showtime.

Deny
Skyler M Feb 2018
I will deny you for years,
Well I'm sorry that I'm leaving the kingdom,
But I can't keep myself here to fall much longer,
Lord, let me die in your arms and I will tell you to revive me,
Then when I see you here I will believe you are with me.

Ocean
Skyler M Feb 2018
I am here in the sea,
Bogged down my curiosity,
I can’t see,
I can’t hear my own voice.

I can see the waves,
Crashing as they wash away my bones,
But my skin still remains,
I can see the sky.
I can see my hands.
I can see my eyes and they’re so numb.

Superficial
Skyler M Feb 2019
Hidden under doorways,
Is memories we store away,
To continue superficial lives,
Living on whatever buys.

Understandable in the least,
Staying alive is a whole other beast though,
There's nothing to sell to cure cravings,
As we crave it more we continue pavings.

Cleverly hidden paintings,
Try and to keep me under faintings,
As a solution to solve all feeling,
It always leaves me reeling.

You don't know what it's like,
To live every part of life,
To keep on dying and retrying,
Until we deform only to reform.

Sell all your fallacies,
To make up for your valuables,
Inside of every mind is something worth finding,
Dreams inside of dreams keep me clean.

Who Else?
Skyler M Apr 2019
Swinging on the swings,
Like little kids, you and I,
We're kinda messed up and a bit gross too,
But I wanna stay kids with you,
Don't wanna be working-class just yet.

Who else would it be?
I can't see?
I can't understand?
I can't cry again tonight.

Curl up in my lap,
Sleep away the nightmares,
I'll keep you safe,
Inside our playground tonight, my dear,
It's freezing outside so stick with me,
By the way, I'm in love with you.

Who else would it be?
I can't see?
I can't understand?
I can't cry again tonight.

Painted White Roses
Skyler M Sep 2018
Fallen from Hell,
Out of the peripherals of my vision,
I saw her smile,
She breaths sadness onto the window,
I heard her laugh.
Watch as she walks herself onto the street,
I felt her hand.
Head wrapped in white roses to pretend.

I felt everything inside of her pour out onto the floor.

Make It Good
Skyler M Nov 2017
This pen is my weapon,
The words I use to tear away from abuse,
With every night that passes,
I'm left more soulless than before.

There's no escaping,
I might as well make it good,
While I can.

I can't write a word without telling myself,
"Where will the time go?" I say,
"When you're wasting your words on ten sheets of paper." I cry,
Time doesn't matter to me when my heart is free.

There's no escaping,
I might as well make it good,
While I can.
