Irrational Rulers
Willman Feb 2019
I am ruled by irrational rulers.
They both fight for the space in my mind.
While motivation is fleeting and fear is winning the rulers are taking stance.
The fear of defeat the thought of lost is causing me to loose my mind.
Slowly but surely I'm shrinking away and the Irrational Rulers are taking my place.
I try fighting back and sometime I can lock them away but, those Irrational Rulers come back more fierce and stronger then before and they are chipping away at my rational side.
I am ruled by Irrational rulers and their names are not said with pride.
These Irrational Rulers are depression and anxiety and I am slowly loosing my mind.

Shadow
Willman Apr 2017
They go unnoticed in the dark by everyone except you.
The shadow follows you everywhere.
Some are evil, some kind, others are sneaky, some are bare.
Shadow carries your past and shows the future.
They carry you away from the light and toward the darkness of your life.
Pain and suffering are all you see as the shadow pulls you into the deep.
You are drowning and fighting to reach the light.
The shadow drags you to the darkness of night
There is no escape, the shadow has caught you.
It pulling the light out and replacing it with emptiness.
The void is there and nothing can change it. You are loss in that shadow that holds you captive till the day you die.

Stick and Stones
Willman May 2017
Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Are lies we are all told as children.
Throw all your sticks and throw all your stones; break my bones because words will always hurt me.  
Stick and stone will only leave a mark for a while but word will stay forever.
They bounce off your mouth and stick to me like glue.
They become ingrained in my heart and burned in my mind left to do more harm.
You move on and I stay stuck
So throw you stick and throw stone; break my bones for those will never hurt me.

Alone
Willman Mar 2018
I am a fly on the wall undected by everyone.
I am surrounded by happiness but drowning in sorrow.
I am surround by love and filled with hate.
I surrounded by people who love me yet I have never felt so alone.
I walk the same halls I drive the same roads I sleep under the same sky and rise to the same sun.
There are 7 billion people in this world yet I’m still alone.

ANXIETY
Willman Apr 2017
Oh look! How happy the day has been,the birds are singing and the people are bickering and life is moving along.
But oh? What's that in the corner of my eye that I see creeping in?
Oh that's right! Its a prize that mustn't be trusted it lurks in the corner with a darker surprise one with tricks and ones with lies.
One that tries to leave a "pleasant" surprise
Pain and worry are just some of the gifts left behind,
And just when you think things are going great
You see it creeping in the corner of your eye.

Depression
Willman May 2017
I am a rock.
Sinking to the bottom of the ocean
Never to be found again
No matter how hard I try to stay a float.

Outside in
Willman May 2017
A girl, is sitting in class.
What do you see?
A girl, who is quite? Strong? Weak?
On the outside you only see what is in the reflection.
But if you look closely into her eyes she will show you her world.
You will see on the inside her mind is clawing at her eyes and ripping at her mouth.
Her mind is screaming and screaming hoping just hoping someone will hear her muffled screams kept inside because she can't show her true reflection.
For if she goes inside out she will not be able to make it.
She would have to shed her thick skin that she has grown for many years.
She would have to show every scar, mark, mistake,burn, and lie she has ever told.
She would have to bare her soul to the world.
A girl, sitting in class
What do you see?
A girl who is hiding

Now
Willman May 2017
Now
Right now,
Right now, the only things that stays with me are the demons that haunt me in my sleep.
Right now, the only things that stay with me are the skeletons that I have hidden so deep in my closet.
Right now, they are all waiting for someone to set them free.
Right now, I'm waiting for that one person whether it be the person that I love or the person that loves me, a friend or a foe, my family or the devil himself.
I am waiting right now for them to  all set me free and to let go of the demons that are haunting inside of me.

Humanity
Willman Aug 2017
Fat.
That three letter word can ruin someone's day.
That word could have been the last thing that drove someone to end their life.
One word could have made that on person to starve themselves even though they know it does more harm then good.
Just a single word made them finally cave to self harm after years of talking themselves out of doing it.
F
A
T
A word that overrode all the thoughts and feelings that they went through when their uncle killed himself, and all the rational thoughts are going to disappear and lead them to the final BANG of life and the smell of gun powder in the air
Fat. One word that ended a life and that life ended due to people who speak before they think.
Because of people like you.

Missing
Willman Jun 2018
I never thought that I would be missing important pieces of my life.
Like the smile on your face when you walk in a room,
The way your voice sounds,
And the way you would wrap me in your arms when you would hug me.
But as the time goes on you slowly are slipping away.
I’m missing the most important pieces that made up you in my mind.
As time goes on and my memory fades what else will I be missing from my life?

High School
Willman Apr 2017
High school may last high school can kiss my ***
These days are too long I feel like I'm dead
I'm writing this poem for a stupid class
I have all these ideas swirling in my head

My mother said I need high school to go far
I have too much homework to have any fun
I rather just go and wait in the car
I just can't wait for high school to be done

I have been at this high school game for two years
two more years of high school are left for me
I just can't wait till I have my first beer
I can't wait to see what the future will be

Like my wise mother once said high school may last
I sure will say high school can kiss my ***

Forget
Willman Jun 2017
How do how do you let go of something that means so much to you?
The answer is simple you don't let go you forget.
How do you forgive someone for how they treated you?
The answer is still the same you don't forgive you forget.
Why are all the answers in life forget? I was once asked.
My answer was simple...
We forget so we don't have to relive the pain that someone or something caused us.
We forget because we were raised that it is better to act  like no one has hurt you.
We forget because it is easier to forget than to forgive.
We forget because we were taught that it's not okay to create conflict and express how we feel.
The answer never will change it will always be forget and forget it will stay until we see the damage that it has done and is doing.

Life
Willman May 2017
Life is a series of moments put together all at once.
Life is a story. It all has a beginning and will always have a end.
There are two things everyone shares you are always born and you will always die.
What makes life different for everyone else is what happens in the middle.
Some grow strong, while others grow weak.
Some grow to be helpful,kind, and caring; others become selfish,greedy, and mean.
They all play the endless game of life.
only hoping that they will leave their mark on the world.
only to be left as another soon to be empty grave buried 6 feet under the rest of the world forgotten and rotten.

Remember
Willman May 2017
I remember the good times
and I remember the bad times
But the ones that stick to the core and shape you who you are, are the ones that deeply scar you.

Light in the Dark
Willman Feb 2019
There was a lost soul wondering in the dark looking for her purpose in the world.
Little did she know she was the light in this dark and dismal world.
Everywhere around her was shrouded in darkness lost and alone looking for a place or someone to call home.
While she wondered about her heart had touch many and she spread her light to the world.
Everyone was taking and no one was giving leaving her even more lost and alone.
The world was covered in light due to that lost wondering soul but her soul that once shinned so bright had dimmed to a spark.
Her light was fading because she gave it all away hoping people would save her.
She got stuck in the dark and was left all alone until the dark finally ate her.

— The End —
