enough.
I really despise this poem.
Matthew Jan 2019
I woke up one morning
and was welcomed by the dark
that enveloped me.

                                  Introducing me to their void
of abstract reality.
Where I was no longer myself.
I was hovering in this abyss.
Timeless moments went by and,
I was It.
A simulacrum.
My thoughts belonged to others.
Nothing was me.
Hands searching a mind for thoughts to own
a motif
and it was crying
but it was me
but not
It observed how the tears
fell up to the colorless nothing
splashing on a ceiling that was not there

sudden and slow movements of it
silhouettes
of
moving pictures

I was a camera viewing everything as one
Staring into my body
my soul
it
the scattered thoughts
the abyss
darkness

But it
I
threw it away with disdain
Inspired by a perfect poem
Matthew Jan 2019
We are not being foolish when we decide
that our life
is not worth living.
We should not be treated as if we didn't know what we were doing.
A choice is made that does not ignore the possibilities of what could happen.
So when we need help,
we only ask that we are treated
as a person that made that decision.

Rather than someone who does not know what is best for them.
Matthew Jan 2019
I Used to have ideas on what was wrong and right.
They were wrong.
How it was
Matthew Jan 2019
I know you've never seen me before,
but I've always been here.
Just invisible
Just a poem
  Jan 2019 Matthew
Poolza
While I can still speak
My words must be said

I will really miss you
When I'm dead

Now that my deed is done
I must depart
Don’t cry my son
Death won’t keep us apart.
This poem was based off of another famous poem that I saw.
