Devoured

Have you have been struck with such desire,
That your soul is consumed by fire?

Alexis K Aug 2023

Three thousand, two hundred.
That's my word count.
But only of my published poems.
That number is so much higher on paper.

Three thousand words to say to you.
I'm tired.

Over three thousand words,
But these are a first.

I've never wanted to **** myself.
But I've never wanted to be alive.
Sometimes I wish I could JUST exist.

If there was a switch, it'd be flipped.

I Wish I Was A Cow

Sometimes I wish I was a cow
Blessed with ignorance
Unaware of sorrow
Of anger
Of violence
Of remorse
Sometimes I wish I was a dog
Incapable of rage
Forgiving to a fault
Free from the burden of regret
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t at all.

Shut up

My body is in pain.
All I want to do sleep.
But my brain won't shut up, saying I'm not doing enough.

Peace

I know what it feels like to drown.
In demons you can't fight.
To drown in emotions that aren't even there.
To drown in the salty tears from your eyes.
To drown your voice out from the rest of world.

It's been too long. This cycle.
I'm exhausted.
Fatigue eats at my lungs, my legs and chest.
All while I tread the salty tears of life.
Would it bring peace to relax?

I envy the dead, I can't wait to finally get some peace and rest.

Friends

Do I hate my friends?
Or am I just distancing,
Because I'm afraid they'll learn to hate me

What friends?

The Last Few Days

I won't lie, they've been hard.
Harder than the last few before.
Every night my room is empty save myself.
Every night my bed is cold on one side.
And every night I lay is just the beginning of your day.

Ps. This is my 100th posted poem.
