I don't really know why I made this. It just kinda popped into my mind.

I have a poets soul,
I am willing to bleed my heart out
Onto blank paper
But the prospect
Of speaking my mind
Leaves me shaking.

This soul
Is thousands of years old,
I have lived a lifetime after lifetime
And have died a hundred times over
Yet the thought of the grave
Shakes me, inside and out.

Hello, Nine-one-one? I'm calling to report a missing persons. She's been missing for more than forty-eight hours, and I'm beginning to become ill with worry. Yes, she's gone missing before, but she always seems to turn up again not long after. She's never been gone this long. I don't know what to do. She is everything to me; she creates new life, she brings me new ideas, she builds worlds no one else could create. She's the reason I can do what I am best at, and without her...I've become nothing. It feels like a piece of me has been ripped out and stomped on multiple times. I now wake up and feel as if there is no new life to be found, to be created, to cherish. There is no more beauty to worship. I can no longer bring alive an idea from my one of a kind mind because there are no new ideas to be born. Not an idea to flow from my brain and through a pen and on to some paper. There is nothing to inspire me because she is gone, and probably forever. Without her I'm lost. Her name is...Creativity, and I suspect Writers Block of taking her...
This is my first poem in a few months, so it may be a little rough. Criticism, and comments are welcome as always!

if you-re reading this
and asking god "how?"
the answer is "pills"
...it was the pills
that did me in
i finally crossed that large item
off my "to-do" list...
it has been a long time coming,
but you know i have always had
an issue with chronic procrastination
i have postponed it for too long
sought too many ways to
rationalize
such radical visions
in my mind,
i have live and died
several million times
in those million visions,
i didn-t find many answers
instead more persistent questions
most of them are
ontological in nature...
those i don-t think about
cuz i would loathe to think
that i would still be tormented
by darkness comparable to
that which creeps into my mind
when i-m by myself
all i know is
there is a
distant between
the heart and the brain
of about half-a-foot
and there-s a distinct
possibility
i just missed heaven
by six inches

"Are you okay?"

My breath quickens,
And my heart races
What can I do?
What should I say?

My mind runs in circles,
And my hands begin to shake.
Why is he asking?
Does he actually care?

My posture starts to shift,
And my eyes begin to dart.
How should I act?
Why did you ask?

Inside I start to scream,
I don't know,
I don't know,
I don't know!

Outside I calmly state,
"Yeah, I'm fine."
I don't know why these questions trip me up so badly.....

Messy hair,
crinkled sheets,
it was a rough night of sleep.
Hello there lovely!
Man, has it been a WEEK. Phew.
Tests, stress, study, etc, etc.
I have several songs to share with you, you and you.
I have been absolutely loving them.
1. Shout All About It- The Vamps
P.S I cannot believe it just like that, I fell in love with this band.
Boom.
The moment I heard the chorus, it was a pavlovian reaction.
2. All of the Stars - Ed Sheeran.
Come on! Were you not expecting this?!
The whole starry universe is in love with TFIOS.
3. Hmm. What's your song that you have been loving?

by definition,
lust is
extreme ****** desire for someone

by nature,
lust is
uncontrollable...
I'm attracted to my thirty-seven year old male teacher
and my eighteen year old male coworker
and the quirky girl who sits behind me in history,
what?

by religion,
lust is
a sin, punishable by Hell,
whatever that is.

lust is unavoidable,
but socially unacceptable to act upon.
I know this ***** I'm really tired
