ghost Nov 2020
I don't write stories
since every character I make has life
and when it has life
it wants what it wants
but it cant get what it wants
since I'm controlling them
so they'll forever live as my puppets
what a pitiful life
ghost Dec 2020
I'm so strong
now that I'm hurt
no one asks whether I'm okay
ghost Nov 2020
the sun shines
In beautiful light
But you did not notice
Some of the rays
Of the sun
Are harmful
But they just blend in the crowd
you’ll never know
Which ones good
Which one isn’t
ghost Nov 2020
I'm just too tired to keep running
maybe you're just what I never saw coming
life is full of surprises
but a mystery
is not really a mystery after it's been solved
ghost Dec 2020
they say
you become what you
surround yourself with
I surround myself with nightmares
am I a nightmare
I surround myself with invisible friends
does that make me invisible
I surround myself with toxins
so am I toxic
k lil explanation by toxins I mean toxic people
ghost Nov 2020
what should I do
I can't stand myself
being so weak
as I try to hide these tears
ghost Jan 2021
“You are ageless,” says time with a laugh. I needed a photograph to track my past. The future is alluring, the present is getting blurry, the past chimes in with an “I told you so” so I stood up tall, head held high, and accepted that even the truth wouldn’t make me cry. “This is when you know it's over, my friend”.
ghost Apr 2021
The only thing I can see
is the darkness.
The world without colors.
A dark tunnel without a light on the end.
I try to hide,
so no one can see me.
I don't feel anything.
Like I'm dead
But I know that I'm still alive.
I want to scream,
but nobody would hear my calls for help.
I cry myself into sleep
and try to forget about my life,
but I can't.
I'll never forget it.
ghost Dec 2020
close to the jaws
of death
innocence is
a motherless fawn
seeking comfort
wherever she can get it

the confused cheetahs
maternal instincts
override predatory pull
a priceless predicament~
she licks the little one's head
ghost Apr 2021
that broken
and empty shell
just moves
by itself
going
through  the
same emotions
again and again
like a pre-programmed machine
completely unaware
that its other half
is already somewhere far far away
that's what I love about the mind
as long as you remove all voices
but your own,
there doesn't exist a boundary
you cant overcome
but even that is easier said than done
because
as limitless as the mind can be
it can also be an endless prison
ghost Dec 2020
the past is like shackles
I could break free
but I'm too afraid that
my future is not what I dream
so I'm better off in prison
ghost Jan 2021
Actions speak louder than words it is true,
Just a simple fight can ruin your life into two.
Pain, sorrow, sadness, is faced by all,
It starts with a one that’s small.
It just spreads like a fire, causing chaos all around.
Anger is the king in this situation,
You Say things you don’t mean to say in frustration.
So think before you speak, Words cannot be taken back,
There might be qualities that we may lack.
Things can always be resolved,
Every problem has a solution.
I know it’s easy to say,
But there is always a way,
But there is always a way.
ghost Jan 2021
A smothered cigarette in the ashtray
lingers within the lounge
stirred by a retching cough
as if It wasn't enough

Squeezing the last drop from the bottle
does not go far  enough
like shoving  that needle up in the arm
it brings no calm
as if it wasn't enough

His body aches within her
looking for pleasures
that have left  for pain
it doesn't feel the same
yet it craves
as if  it wasn't enough

reaching for life
with outreached hands
the ghost has left
dying wasn't enough
life goes on
as if it wasn't enough


Each day is an addiction
searching pleasures in pain
for before the  day is over
the night starts
robbing the sun from light
rising on the morning tide
wiping the stars from the sky
making a fool of the night
as if it wasn't enough



In  the ashtray
curls a snake  dressed  in smoke
the dragon comes to claim his own
the bottle fells to the floor
there is no more
unless you ask for more
as if it wasn't enough
ghost Jan 2021
I've watched the rain drops
resulting in a river
felt the rhythm falling
shook in its thunder

then the quiet steadiness
peaceful persistence
just like you come around
I always remember !

all of the rainy seasons
the fullness descending
you fall like rain
softly on me

show me now the storm
shake me once again
share the thunder
roll like a river.
ghost Feb 2021
You made me approach
And then you disappear
I let my guard down
"You have taken advantage of it.

You made my mind, a maze.
And I lost myself.
I didn't ask for your help,
I could not...

I followed you like a gullible
In the hidden game of the world,
Waiting for the impossible.

Each time, coming up,
But moving me away.
With every step, it was done
In despair...

Making me
                      hate you,
To hate
            To hear your voice,
To hate
                To love you.

do not cry
for the dead
mourn the living
we must continue
to bear the pain
and sufferings of the world
ghost Dec 2020
time just won't stay
I guess it's bored
all it sees is greed and pointless drama
I'll make it fall in love with me
but I ended falling in love with it
so one-sided
it moved on
and I'm stuck
tick-tock
times up
ghost Oct 2020
it's time to die
living just takes too much energy
and I've run out of it
so let's meet again in the afterlife
don't blame me for bring being tired.
ghost Dec 2020
I'm tired
of expecting something
then seeing it shattered right there
over and over
like an endless cycle
of hope and despair
ghost Nov 2020
people driving fancy cars
look like beetles to the stars

the missiles and the bombs
are like symphonies gone wrong

and if there is a god
they'll know why it's so hard to be human
ghost Feb 2021

ghost Dec 2020
after a long day
I sit to write
I can't
my papers in tears
all wet
I try
to stop the tears
in the end
I sit in a corner and cry
ghost Oct 2020
Your sweet lies
They really do taste like candy
Sweet in the outside
But slowly destroys you from within
ghost Dec 2020
hiding scars of past,
like seabed’s buried shipwrecks
skeletons from battles savage,
he stays on course, and
everyone’s convinced
it’s smooth sailing,
like tranquil sea.
hi guys I've been posting poems but no one can see them so I'm trying to fix whatever this is, I have to repost them around 6 times
ghost Dec 2020
did either of us have
a way out of the
mess we've
gotten ourselves into?
has the world
always been so ugly?
ghost Dec 2020
they asked
Is that truly what you're after?
rather isn't it a mere excuse
to escape the disappointing
reality you're in
arent you just
endeavoring to prove them wrong
to find solace
for your bruised ego
isn't validation what you actually pursue
and perchance
a world where you belong
ghost Nov 2020
What is it to
Truly love
It is to fall in love with their soul
Before touching their skin
ghost Nov 2020
a slap from the one who always stood by my side
hurt more than being
stabbed a thousand times
if I could turn back time
I wouldn't disappoint you again
so, please
trust me once more
I promise ill hold onto it
like nothing else
exits
ill love, you like you never felt the pain
when you're old
I'll hold your hand
and when you near the end
I'll be someone you're proud of
so trust me
it takes years to build trust but it takes a moment to break it.
ghost Nov 2020
what is to trust
is is to entrust
your soul to someone
is it to become from one
to two
come i'll give you a beautiful view
of my abandoned heart
since i trust you
i hope you to won't break me apart
ghost Dec 2020
I have friends
more than I can count
we laugh
they're real
but I don't trust anyone
I don't tell them my secrets
my  fears
I believe them
but my secrets belong only to me
maybe if I told someone
id feel better
they all wanna listen
but every time I try
I break down
ghost Nov 2020
I can wait here silent
building up a storm inside my head
I just stood for nothing
so I fell for everything you said
hear my voice
I can wait here silent
gotta make a change
and make some noise
please  undo my sad
undo what hurts so bad
undo my pain
go together through  the rain
ghost Dec 2020
I didn't expect you to care
but you did
that felt good
I was like a flower withering
you came and watered me
fixed my soil
and showed me the sun
ghost Dec 2020
I'm alone
I'm no different than
a star in the galaxy
so unique
yet people can't even
tell us apart
were all unique but it's annoying how we all just look so what do they call it "ordinary".
ghost Nov 2020
I overthink
I'm a lot more sensitive
than people think
I'm afraid
my jokes are not always jokes
maybe I'm really lost
so don't show up
and say
you know everything about me
ghost Apr 2021
we try to escape demons by hiding away
and locking ourselves in our rooms
but what are we to do
when the demon follows us home?
people feign ignorance
and happiness is a trick of smoke and mirrors
when the stage is cleared
all that's left
are the scars
ghost Dec 2020
Like wallpaper;
Ragged and yellowed.

Old smoke stains
His teeth and lungs.
His insides peel

You pass him by,
But he knows things.

He and he waits and he knows things
ghost Oct 2020
Her voice
It haunts me
My mom she said
“Come home early”
As she left and so did I
But now that I’m home
She never returned
I regret letting you leave
You were right by my side
Yet I couldn’t even hold onto you
ghost Apr 2021
I feel as though loving me
Induces the same feeling
As work does

I feel like you
Can’t wait to go
Home and escape that crazy mess

I feel like I was always
Given a two week notice
Right before they leave

I feel like it always
Feels like its all a
Requirement

And I know it is,
I understand,
I feel like that with me too

So I am sorry
I made you feel that way,
Truly
ghost Dec 2020
bedroom curtains
the winter sun waltzes
with the wind
ghost Dec 2020
is it, love
or
is it torture
do you love me
or
are you playing me
cause I love you
ghost Dec 2020
I want to prove to this world
that that which
they have deemed right
is wrong
ghost Jun 2021
as morning bleeds into night
every moment is a struggle a fight
together I believed we could make it right
with each other, we shone so bright
suddenly you are the shadow to my light

I wrote for days now papers are left white
I wish something that I write
might make me feel alright
ghost Dec 2020
did you expect something
did you think you'd hear me
scream
cry
laugh
you turned the page
expecting something
I have nothing to offer
you just assumed
I did
ghost Nov 2020
why should I apologize
for being a monster
when no one apologized
for turning me into one
ghost Dec 2020
I look like death
coming in the door;
full of rage with an

icy stare that freezes
your body at its core;
purple and blue tints

stain the skin around
my eyes broken vision.
Nearly two days have

gone by without sleep;
if the dead were walking
I'd be mistaken as them.
ghost Dec 2020
I don't know how to say this
I cut myself for the first time
it's addicting
I want to stop
but it's fun
I
really
enjoy
it
ghost Nov 2020
I choked
on my own
breath
ghost Nov 2020
this entire world is wrong
that is why we must fix it ourselves
remember this
next time you might be the one
or i might be the one
but you must continue to fight
even if you're left alone
fight until the end
ghost Nov 2020
underneath it all
I'm still held captive by the hole inside
