Matthew Feb 18
I don't think you know
how many wrinkles in my brain are carved by you

the smooth and simple ones
the winding
and
wandering ones

Why I think
that you think
They just sorta
happened one day

Please Take Me Back
Matthew Dec 2023
Please Yoink me from This Wretched Thread
Place put me back on
the Rosier Redwoods

Where I wandered as a wee one

So Free and Lost

The fissure
on the cobble
just so far ahead
flutters
the utmost
dread

But back then

I'd so easily

Trade my old toy trucks

for a new plastic card

Matthew Mar 2023
Don't burn yourself trying to put out the flames I put up around myself.

Create or Critique
Matthew Mar 2023
I'd much rather Critique
as I rein king when I put on that hat
As he lain before me is subject to my snarling
Picking his hair from my giblets and jams.

For to create
creates your own undoing
To look before oneself
and watch
as aristocrats
pluck pimples from your own potatoes.

Update
Matthew Jan 2023
Y'all I'm okay, so don't worry.

It's a fictional story about a character
I AM NOT THE CHARACTER.

If you have feelings about how I write characters feel free to dm me, but otherwise please know that I am ok.

A Boy Like Any Other
Matthew Jan 2023
trigger warning [self harm, suicide] *

A razor so deep in the flesh
dancing far past epidermis
to the dermis
and then finally the hypodermis

He was the happiest he had ever been before

He didn't have to worry about expectations
how people saw him
because his blood would dry across the carpeted floor
he hugged his friends for the first time
He smiled and laughed louder than before
because he had nothing to hide anymore
Their faces
nothing but dots and shapes

He danced that day and no one
said anything
how curious

he'd never had known if not for this blessed

He laughed at himself more than anyone else that day

The day came to end and he was so happy he didn't need to wake up tomorrow.

His blood dried.

Backs

Backs only look pretty at one angle
otherwise we don't want them

Death is Bad at Sneaking
Matthew May 2022
He scrapes the floor boards with his bony toes
Rips the carpet with his jagged scythe
Is he Behind me or in Front of me?
Tell me
please.

Not A Pretty Girl
Matthew Apr 2022
You're not a pretty girl

but pretty girls aren't lucky

you are.
Matthew Apr 2022
Your every single detail
temporarily tattooed
until my fancy wanes.

Right now
you play sweet chords
on my heart strings

You hurt so good right now
I don't know if I'd rather not like you or not.
Matthew Nov 2021
Whenever relatives come
I know it's time that I put it on
So they can accept me
Restrict my speech and movement
so that I'm palatable for their one track mind
"Do you got a (insert partner of opposite gender)?"
No
Haven't been that lucky.

I'm so hot and sweaty
I feel like I can't breathe.
Maybe I should take it off.

Soul of a Memory
Matthew Nov 2021
A memory of a memory.

It's skin has dissipated.

It's been peeled back to a naked emotion.

My face goes red.

It lives on...

Why...

Republicans go mask off
because they are anti mask

a viral video.

My Envy
Matthew Sep 2021
I don't want to be her.
I want her power.
Her power to be pretty enough for any guy she wants.
The guy I thought about once or twice.
She's talked to him with her grace and twisted jokes
Charmed the pants off him
O' the Envy I FEEL
It fuels a burning rage
Unwarranted rage
I love her to death
She's to die for.
She faces problems I don't face everyday.
Her life is hard and she doesn't deserve the Rotten apples that follow her.
Yet my mind focuses on her power.
She has it and I don't
The one thing she has
And I want it for myself.
She deserves her power most of all
I'm happy for her
and I should be
Til death do us part
Matthew Sep 2021
An endless, limitless pit echoing a deafening nothingness.
is how I imagine heartbreak to feel.

That is not what I feel.

What I feel is
like a bug bite
on my arm

It hurts a bit at first
but I'm only reminded of it
when the wind hits it just wrong
I'm reminded of the so recently silent pain.

No More Nagging Wife

Matthew Sep 2020
Inspiration moves like the wind
touching the grass
moving the hair.

It waxes and wanes
with or without your
input

Inspiration is the cool breeze during twilight
pointing you toward the moons and the stars
of the universe.

John and his Journey.
Matthew Sep 2020
There once was a man named John
He was gay
and wished he wasn't

So he decided to try something new
He married a woman
he raised all the goats, prostitutes, and ******* goats
His face formed a straight toothed smile
covering a shadowed tear
his circuits failed to reach a lightbulb
and no connection was made
now he was in prison
for holding an illegal human trafficking ring
and the ******* goats were allowed to roam free.
sometimes you can still hear them calling out to their owner John.
Such a sad story
based on this old poem
