Matthew Jan 2019
Lively and Jumping
A vibrance felt
Spinning
in a Bright display
of Human Beauty

Its lights beckoning
One step forward;
Dead Darkness
Isolating me
From them
The second life lived
in the small Room
Haunting Ballads
Drag me closer
Insidious, blighted
It is forever
I'm trying to convey unsure emotion
Matthew Jan 2019
A fire
burning
the old me.

Memories
of times
no longer
my own.

The crackling
is melting my soul
soul.
Ashes, are all that is left of me
And from them
The New Me emerges.
A poems of fire
Matthew Jan 2019
It's just another week
in my blighted life
time to spill the tea

Left to taste the bitter hate
when all I ask are sweets
and the candy that you give
is too salty for my taste

Sticks and stones may break my bones
, but your words cut deeper than my knife

'"It's okay you're just misguided
and as long as you conform
like all those who tried and failed"

"You're not hurting anyone
, but you just can't fit in my box"

I'm searching frantically for someone to hold out hand
to save me from this hell.
and when I'm brought back to Earth
by the comfort of their voice
I live.

But they're dead now
in the cold
absence of everything,
I die.
I wrote this poeming thinking of the other people who might be in this situation.

Endless Apologies
only bears
Agonizing Pain
Matthew Jan 2019
Troubled, Crying, Red, eyes
The bottle containing
Tablets
The tablets help
Tireless exhaustion knocks the bottle
Tiny white dots
Tick away on a white surface
Transparent to my vision
Too many to count
Try to close my eyelids
To rest interminably
Two, four, eleven,
Twenty is needed.
Matthew Jan 2019
Till Death, do Us part
A joke at my expense?
Trivial
BR oKen Hearts
Never wanting to shatter
Though, we never did leave

Now I smile, but only when
Looking
Backward.
