Free of mind
Emily McClelland Aug 2018
My mind, tick tick tock
On the clock
Wasting time through minutes
After minutes becoming hours
We devour the empty hope
Where we thrive in uncertainty
Perfectly, waiting for change
To rearrange
The hope that we had had
Once inspired, it fired
The soul that lay within
To grin, smile, for a little while
Without denial
Allowing ourselves to be free

Reprehensible actions bear no weight.
As consequences are nonexistent in a world lost from reality,
only exacerbating circumstances of manic misfortune.

Bipolar Illness

Emotion burgeons with each passing day,
becoming indolent through exhaustion.
Calling for help imperatively,
but not being heard through a cloud so thick.

Scared away
Emily McClelland Jul 2018
Phlegmatic actions causing apprehension to an explosive bomb full of consideration.
Being caught off guard,
and intimidated,
by priggish self.

Beyond Repair
Emily McClelland Jul 2018
Adulate the figure above,
allowing for hope and grandiosity to take hold.
In a mind so broken, it must crack to be restored.

Broken.
Emily McClelland May 2018
"Help." I cry to closed ears.
Why can't I be enough?
Actions proving true intention.
What is wrong with me?

Unbelievable
Emily McClelland May 2018
Thoughtless whispers fill the night,
By those too scared to speak up.
Those unknowing of the fight it takes,
Who roll over and take the beating of life.

Drowning
Emily McClelland May 2018
Drowning in fog as visions fade,
Down, down below the surface.
Where monsters lurk, march in parade,
In celebration of your essential demise.

I'm sorry
Emily McClelland May 2018
I am shent.
Left to wonder where I went wrong,
Despite doing right through reassurance.

Natural selection
Emily McClelland May 2018
What are we defined by our peers?
We must fight back!
Those who hide, timid of sorts,
Are left to be destroyed in battle.

Empty
Emily McClelland May 2018
How can one live such a way?
Where everything fades to darkness.
In which they feel a black hole, suffocating.
As if their heart is loveless, emotionless, and shy.

I can feel it slipping
Emily McClelland May 2018
Harrowed thoughts are those that scare soul away,
Draining life between your fingertips, and right before your eyes.

Pulling the curtains over the sun,
Revealing darkness.
Allowing one's self to disappear,
Leaving the world behind.

Achievements Unreachable
Emily McClelland Feb 2018
Proving irritance, causing for uncomfortable self,
Nothing is pleasant or representative.
The behaviors we decide hath no correlation to achievement,
Unrightful actions becoming praised, so why behave?
Feb 2018 · 226
Pain
Emily McClelland Feb 2018
Misconstrued actions causing havoc,
Allowing for those to take over.
As if forced to find comfort,
Within the pain they had caused.

Empty Accusations

Other than destroy the one in question.
Then mendacious actions are to become,
Deadlier than ever.

Directions unknown
Emily McClelland Feb 2018
Emptiness surrounds as air,
Yet I can't breathe.
As the cold air stings,
And the moonlight burns,

Would you share your lips with me if I promised to never let go?

Where one knows not what to think.
Focusing on the rhythm of silence,
As the pain overwhelms.

Powdered Poison.
Emily McClelland Jan 2018
Paralyzed by seduction at the draw of the blade,
Enticed by the rush of powdered poison.
Where reality swirls into temporary haven,
Filled with invincibility, and lust.

Sonnet
Emily McClelland Jan 2018
A night of radio and happiness,
When I first fell in love with your smile.
I was then exposed to your naughtiness,
And then I knew you'd be around awhile.

I fell hard for your loving tenderness,
And the way you liked my changing style.
You were able to fill my emptiness,
And with you around, I changed my lifestyle.

Because you never, ever doubted me,
And for that I am forever grateful.
You make me the best me that I can be,
And for you I will be always faithful.

These feelings I simply just cannot explain,
With you forever, I wish to remain.

Ocean view

The tide rushing in with your hands on my waist,
Your eyes as blue as the ocean.
In a hypnotic trance, I trace your jaw and pull you close,
Where our lips meet in a firework display.

With your suave ways and eloquent words,
Causing me to melt in your arms.

A gaze locked from a far, yet non existing distance,
As in that moment they were the only two people left in the universe.

As the first thunderclap of a storm.
Aggression causing misbehavior in reaction,
Of the action that I must now take.

Beware
Emily McClelland Nov 2017
Beware the silence for it speaks so loud,
Your shallow breaths the only sound.
A gun in your hand, a hole in your heart,
In a new life you'll have a fresh start.

Emptiness
Emily McClelland Nov 2017
The thought now harrow a my mind,
And in that happiness is hard to find.
For I have become invulnerable and numb,
And I'm not even sure what from.
I'm simply filled with ecstasy and dole,
Because I am just a body, living with no soul.
Nov 2017 · 270
Desire

Inspire me with your infectious laughter,
And keep me warm with your desire.

Which provides reason,
For hot cocoa by an open flame.
Entangled in your arms,
Lost in the world of make-believe.

Creating a ****** image capturing your beauty.
Containing innocence with your hazed eyes,
Provoking question against actions behind closed doors.

Learning to Understand.
Emily McClelland Oct 2017
Unbelievable emotions as which to become,
Escape from knowing within yourself.
But it is a darkened path which to be followed,
Therefor you insist it must be left behind.

You.
Emily McClelland Oct 2017
I can feel you writing love letters on my hips with your fingertips.
With passion that I had never imagined possible,
On my skin that is as thin as paper.
Yet I can never get close enough to you.
And your eyes,
A gaze from you renders me senseless,
For they are the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Diminishing the hope in which you thrived.
Allowing for the demise of the greatest warrior.
Cowering in fear of the unknown,
So you remain silent.

A Surprising Thought

Such care,
Until I found out I overwhelmed your thoughts as well.

The Waiting Game.

Highs as prominent as the sky,
Creating lows to become pits of despair.
No return for rapture in this hollow evening.
Where thoughts are not allowed to be felt,
Yet my heart still aches for you.

Into the Unknown.
Emily McClelland Oct 2017
Thoughts awry under misconception,
allowing those not to take over.
As if to take hold of the reigns,
on your own uncertainty.
