Say what you mean,
but say it without being mean.
Who am I kidding? I am always so terribly mean. Oops!
I feel it surround me
holding me in my place.
It hovers around me
like humidity on a hot day.

I take deep breaths
but that never seems to help.
I try not to succumb but the
deep
burning
anger
envelopes me until I see red.
And in my words
and the depths of my poetry,
i begin to unravel,
the real me.
they left my meds in my possession
last time that happened I almost died
should I take them tonight?
I could rest in piece with the angels in my dreams
or risk the chance the demons might come back
I can play this game
they are suppose to help
but to many could ****
some nights i wanna die
so maybe i will

but not tonight
im feeling to strong
the demons can knock on the neighbors door
im feeling to right
The pumping is still as my hand lays flat,
a non-moving silence is what I face.
I keep waiting to feel it, pat, pat, pat,
but time passes by and still no trace.
There's nothing there it is strictly hollow.
Where has my heart gone?
Do I dare to follow?
I ask myself if I can do it
knowing deep down I can't
but the aching failure follows me
and calls me back again.
I oblige once more and get my pen,
sliding it angrily against this paper
because this crap is better than
a
blank
page.
A poem about how I can't write poetry.
