Feeling Real Aug 2014
Weary footman
Relax your vanities
Your possessions
They are mine
Leave hurriedly
Lest our minds
Also cross paths
Feeling Real Nov 2014
There was a disintegration of walls
That have bound and held for years
I, in my light pink mink fur, tell stories

Have you heard of the brick,
that just sits on street corners and outside of old buildings
It's always the same ******* brick

In my new city the traffic lulls nightly
After dark, the streetlights don't hold
Their safety is a decoration, like the snow is

I tried to trace back roots of life
I ended at the sun, so why not, should I end
Be the light that made me?
Feeling Real May 2014
It is over - again
before it's meant to be
because I can not stick
to one thing
Bored, restless
and I'm not good enough
to continue
to prosper

It is over - again
I have to let them
know why
to provide excuses
as they are truths
my lies to self

It is over - again
Feeling Real Feb 2014
How you waver and you tilt
while you walk or move
Images flickering behind your eyes
shadows rousing from their dens
making themselves home
The center of your life
The itch to have to get it right
You could give in, but mind is will
and body as it's follower
is of no importance to you
So you lay, awake, stretched
across all the space you can take
Your bed is solitary
The last place to take freedom
and stand your ground
Laying on the comforters,
freezing, window open
to let in winter as a gift to yourself
Because you deserve something
after putting yourself through all you do
Feeling Real May 2014
The time cascades
voluminous and at full speed
We do not stop for thought
or risk losing our place
I am the trader of all trades
We shed to give off seeds
and all I think means naught
as I've relapsed into an outer space
Feeling Real Jun 2014
Sleep is calling to you and I

Escape until you've finished tonight

Then rest, with ease, wrapped like warm

Under blankets of sweat of skin

No mate, not now, but soon, around,

You'll find a direction to take
Feeling Real Dec 2015
stark-white contrast with my

dark mind, soul gone, hair gone

admit nothing amidst loving

the chilling winter aura

for, uh, your control, um

I’m allowing you to have won
Feeling Real Oct 2022
I've been big and small
Bent muscles and snapping sinew
Ate grief for breakfast
Pancake platters
Black coffee
And an endless summer where
I sat over the river on the
Train tracks
Looking up

No one sees me now
As they did not then
But now I have myself
An itch, memories
My only friend

I've sat up all night
Gazed out the window
To see lights
Blue
And white
If I'm not living
Well
I won't leave at all
It's my life
Feeling Real Apr 2014
I've sadly woken up
once again, as daily
ministrations prove fruitless
a wanton lust
nothing real or beyond
physical realm
Feeling Real Aug 2014
Oh those dixie paper cup
Forgotten childhood love
Dead dead heart
Dead dead soul above
Wake up deary, now
Story book picture bow
A great job done
Illegal fun
Before word gets out

Someone said wake up
Someone said get out
Mirror dreams and fever parts
Damp rememberings
Softly summer breeze
With lilac smell
Feeding bees
Feeling Real Jan 2014
saddled on top of her own world
an empty nothing
i exist though i wish i didn't
Feeling Real Nov 2015
He was criminally insane
Wringing hands, wild brain
Holding out on what he was
He was watching, grabbing paws
Treating me like a dog he trains
I'm so lucky, glad he came

It's fine, I swear, I like the light to leave his eyes
It's fine, so rare, a love like his just can't compare

When he fists a grasp about my arm
It's a child's hand-holding charm
I'm blushing under the crushing weight
He holds me back but it's too late
I'm fallen and he doesn't want me
My desperation is an ugly trait
Feeling Real Jan 2015
I soaked in every word from your mouth
and repeated it back to you
and I guess it was assumed
that something had bloomed
While we walked the town to get coffee
Feeling Real Dec 2015
I will be strong
no recompense without release
not when relief is given freely
if I could just force myself
to be free
I will be dynamic
the dynamo grown old
muscles on muscles in brain
and my physical body
I will be strong, like
stone like lightening
like my god
like my gifts
there is no patron
telling me that I need
suffer any longer
my time will come
and I will
be strong
Feeling Real Aug 2014
I finally understand the hiding
Of hair and the covering of skin
These women embrace as custom
They are holy descendants of eve
What is left of perfection
Handed down for too many generations
They are cursed, so wanted, why not hide
Beautiful skin and silky hair
Full eyebrows, eyes wide in fear
Determined not to covet physical form
Feeling Real Jun 2014
Designated *****
Tastes and wasted time
Waking up bored enough
To jump off a building
Listening to forty
Years of life and love
I share mine of nil
I've had my fill
Of nonsense for today
Iced-over managing me
Lied obscene moderating
Miniscule matters
Multiplied by how much I dread
The amplification
Arduous impotency
Marked on inadequately
Silence as the fall completes
Feeling Real Jan 2014
Morning in the dark of winter
long before the sun could rise
I am awake and itching to see the Earth
To go outside and breathe in stifling air
that only stifles if you expect it to
and it's awfully quite funny to pretend
and it's terribly amusing to ignore
until outside, and you wonder,
What is the pretense for?
Feeling Real Mar 2014
I crave musings of mind and issues not yet dealt with
to be a part of and continue inside the process
I do not want to have *** or touch you
It's impossible to think this is reality
It's not too easy to explain this truth
I want you around me always
But never, ever, touch me
I desire the affections and affectations
without the final stage, please
Feeling Real Dec 2015
Sweet sickness beckons and against better
Impulse, I jump inside
Where the bones grind against each other
A clear yellow light just out of reach
Gesturing, follow me, come
I float down

**** me, I beg of endings
Everything is sweeter with a sour tongue
It's worse that rot, more obtuse
And revolting than ***
I beg of my body and I beg of your mind
Sweetness, please, just sugar
Feeling Real Oct 2014
No more words, there's nothing left
No one speaks to each other
I mean, I tried once
But it was only cuzza drugs
I like it when nothing's left

I've finally finished something
That wasn't a fantasy
I've finally entered my heaven
Died so suddenly

Mistakes were made
Said I'm a waste of space
I'm taking up nothing now
My lines are free somehow
You've said hello once but
Do I keep connecting
Or do I sever what's not for show
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
I let go

What a joke, I laugh
Things blur, I stand
This hand-in-hand disgusts me

Why not, you scream
I lie, unclean
Sheets don't cover anything

I let go
The amount of the sin
No, let go
You're always taking me in
The nights aren't safe
My days are crazed
Ends look attractive now
For, who am I
Stop laying awake
Shake the pleasure off
I want knives to help me
On my new payed job
Why not
Feeling Real Jun 2014
I know all about depriving myself
Who needs sleep?
Who needs food or love?
I need coffee, I need a smoke break
I need someone to hold me up

It's great that you're here for me
But I can't take what you want to give me

I'll eat your stories, tell me a lie

I know what I'm doing to my body
I know how the mind suffers so
But what is this trap that I've already fell in?
This darkness, pitch-black, that I've caught myself in again

I'll eat your stories, tell me a lie

Did you wake up on the right side of the bed?
I'll wake another, so tell me you know what I want

I'll eat your stories, tell me a lie
Darling, don't think twice
I'm counting on nothing
I know I'm not gonna make it out alive
I'm doing what I said I'd be doing by this year at this time
I'm doing what I told you I'd be doing
Planning a way to end my life
Counting on you to not think twice
Counting on nothing to be a release from this life
this wasn't really a poem, but a freestyled song i took apart and typed up
Feeling Real Sep 2015
I would rather tear apart the witness
Frozen, he stands on the ground
The truth is a marvel, a lion, a moat
I conquer! I siege!

My monastery dance, no ankles, no *******
Hello, wandering eyes, left - bereft
Swear your majesty their tragedy is yours
I look upon theft for reward

It’s all porcelain before quake
We meet and you sit not anticipating shake
My weight falls great to outlast days
No longer! **** me!
Feeling Real Nov 2014
There is no mark

As is; I am

Warming, rising, an oven

Water and blood

Eyes blankly looking

Forward, seldom quickly

But in fervor

A fever, controlling

My actions are my own

A joke, misheard

I am missing

What was or never was

Mind makes a mess of things

Swaying, wind

Never sleep
Feeling Real Jan 2014
Listen to the lilacs catch hold of the breeze
They move outside of the window and their scent breathes
The room is filled with the dry heat and bloom of a long-dead Lilac bush
Feeling Real May 2014
I often ask myself questions without answers
Observe what happens in sensible manners
A thought, I find, is less than it seems
because hearing voices is illusory dreams
I view in pictures and notions
review summaries of oceans
condensed to a raindrop
after it has evaporated
I can't trace back to review each idea
in its fleeting, fleeting, and magical scale
I sift, and I sift, with little avail
and then, Viola! I am struck with truth
Logic denial has brainwashed roots
and I, ego included, escape
I share and I lie and I propagate
because life, though a trifle and long
is simple enough to be written down
in a few short lines, by even the worst
writer or scientist or creationist-****
Live, breed, die, the cycle
that has bound me into constant denial
Die, die, die
The last truth
I have been running away
since my long-ago youth
Feeling Real Jan 2016
I'm swimming through it
Vacation from the past
Awkward, uninvited,
I give your wave it's crest
I give your way it's mess
Awkward, uninvited,
You say, if I let you go
You'll pass
But I have nothing and I am nothing
And nothing feels the best
I have the west
Grated into me, born, bred
Raised from the exit signs
Of a highway, the green of the background
The blanch of the words
I am only light when I'm reflected
The holographic card that shows two images
I am neither, you are both
And we spend Saturdays in bed
You spend rainy days with your hands in your lap
And your ****, thick and red
I am hypnotized by the blood rushing from my head
I stand and leave and breathe out, still in bed
Feeling Real Dec 2015
I don't have the memories to corroborate
Your story is not my story is not the truth is not fiction
But it came from somewhere and I have it inside me
This awful weight, gradually shifting

I'm revolving around a single point somewhere
Beyond time, beyond space, in the shadows
I feel it and I can sense it but I
Can't move it away

Someone puts it into their lover, a bride, groom
I put it into a hairbrush, then mascara, then my lungs
Feeling Real Nov 2015
I want tendrilic night to descend around me
And wrap itself, drape itself, like a curtain
Velvet and thick, choke and be sick
***** all over the carpets

When the blood slows to more manageable
Clotting, destroying everything it soaks
Tarnish the mainstream, the day dreamer
Wrapped thick inside of winter coats

Baby blue mist making it's way through land
The liquid just beginning to drop
Ivy vines, they wither and shed from sunlight
And grow back into the ground

Medicine is made from the dead flowers
That grow from the pits of Hades realm
Feeling Real Oct 2015
Every day's the same
I fall apart
To make it out and return
It's too hard
The cracks in my skin
I've torn into
The gaps between our bodies
I've looked into
I've got this nothingness inside me
Everyone can see right through
I'm doing nothing
Dancing late night through my room
Curtains open, come and help me
I am nothing like you
I'm terribly confused
And conflicted
My every other thought is wicked
I drown in sickness
Feeling Real Feb 2014
I need to purge
Negate existence
View less, consume less
I will see, explicit
facts and earning
and statistics to abuse
That I will use

Unable to accept
My powers, inept
Waiting and wishing I were what else
Someone not subject to Self

Lulled into security
Fathoming worth
It is not I
Feeling Real Oct 2014
Lowly longings for desire
Changed and stimulated light
Slowing down, I re-train my brain with wires
Balanced or not I walk
Upon 5 miles of open study
Or 3 hours exercise
My muscles collapse and shaking
hands and feet and sight
Feeling Real Dec 2015
I like your big eyes
Light up my life with your fire
Burn me, red white and gold
I know you never said but I think the credit
Goes to: you were too old

James, I think, the lying has got to stop
He says, I'm not his only but I'm his favorite
And I don't think it can get more perfect

He thinks he wants me
When I beg to be included
He wants to touch me when I'm feeling loose
He's just so clever, ten steps ahead

James has got it better because he's in love with me
I asked him about it and he said that we're holy
He's just a vampire who's been born to feed
It's gotta be meant to be, gotta be, something telling me
The fantasy is just as real as reality
Feeling Real Jan 2014
I need to adjust myself
and view the past as it is
not as how I wish it
Not through eyes of a deficient
appetite and mind and mood
Careless
Maker, mine, keep me safe
Hold me how you like
I will like it, too

You are an art
fully deceptive and eager to ruin
whomever you can let yourself touch
I let you touch me and I am ruins
I am stupid, and wrong, and scared
Careless
Maker, mine, keep me safe
Touch me however you like
sure I like it, too

He let me go
he let me leave
I want to crawl back
like a frightened child for him to hold
He grinned as he hurt me
Careless
He grinned while he hurt me
Hold me how you like
I will like it, too
Feeling Real Oct 2022
I could make you live again
Pealing laughter, movie reels
Scandals, scarlet, moving through time
I can make the sheets unwrap themselves
It's you and I, you and I, alive

The wildest fantasies
Your secreted-away dreams
Victim, poison
Feather-light fingertips
Again I have shown you what I fear
It's you and I, you and I, tonight
Feeling Real Nov 2022
You told me again
In not so many words

This time I didn’t ask you
Why I was drowning in sand

Your hilarious moments
My part in your hands

You did not say why but
You did tell me when

And it was a month after I asked you
And you denied, denied my plans

But this time, you laid it out
Plainly and it really hurt

To see that you chose another when
I was still here in the world

So you will not be my lasting
My handsome prince

I did not choose to walk away
But you did, you did
Feeling Real Jan 2014
You believe that after a time you can be free
Yet you take no steps to gain distance
between your self and your wants
You want most to want what else he wants
it's too obvious how carefully you tread
and cry for help inside of your head
Feeling Real Oct 2022
Everyone I touch
Leaves me
And I love them

There are no strangers
To have a coincidence
No one, not them

If I could be the starry skies
Or the freeway
Busy, all night

I could be the overpass
No one to listen to
Nothing to fight

I'd wrap myself in dandelion
Or whispers...
Endless pearls

I'd miss the morning
The next day, and ending
Of the world
__

Kiss me
Like morning light
The fabric of the sky

Like little diamonds
Precious pearls
I fashion from bone

What's here is no longer
I must have thought
I'd see the final blows
__

The world is rebelling against me
I must cradle myself
Hold me throughout the night
Red, lights, blue and white

I must wrap myself up
Place me in a glass bottle
Where none can touch
Just shining, shimmering, look-

My hair tangles and falls
Ditsy strands by the handful
In the same clothes as yesterday
And the days before that

I only exist to echo back out
I only drink if I intend to black out
I only wanted someone to notice
To find out ...

I no longer let my lips chap
Even when I want them to split and crack
I no longer curl my hair, or paint my skin
I don't starve my body
Or look everywhere for harm

I just imagine the steps to the overpass
I think of the glock, my guns
My childhood, on repeat, his arms

The last decade on the edge
When I could make no plans
Because today might be my last
In trash heaps, no friends
Wishing, wishing, wishing,
I could
The end
I am NOT feeling this way anymore. I've still been writing poetry just havent been posting it online so I'm going through my best hits and uploading them here. Please do not worry about me <3 I'm actually very satisfied with life and I've found God
Feeling Real Oct 2022
There was nothing behind it
The sainted windows
Where I sat and I waited
Peering beyond my own face

Ice cream cones and Captain America
No, I won't do it, I can't go it alone
Transparent through the glass
Nobody wonders if nobody knows

But you knew then
When the grins dashed behind our lips
The snowfall cushioning every footprint
You knew even when I didn't know

And all I have is the imprint
Your eyes
Because, you're just gone and you never said
Never told me
Never let me be alright
Can you believe this mf was in my life for a half a year - ****** off for another half a year- and rejected me but still couldn't stop ******* staring at me. this man had me in a chokehold is wear i would have done anythinnnnnnng to hit
Feeling Real Dec 2015
Someone collared my best friend, I noticed only looking back
We trade candy canes from her mouth to my mouth
They all watched but no one told me

I feel better with big hands on my hands
on my neck, on my *******

Sweet, sweet girl, they sang
It's time - your daily game
I'll put my hands together
In your lap or my lap
And we'll see who lasts the longest

Awkward Tuesday is not unconditional
They thought I loved them but it's not professional
I just take their money and the candy, and baby
I'm all the lonelier for it

Someone collared my best friend, I know that I wanted to be her
Because he liked it from my mouth to her mouth
I wonder why she was better

I feel better with big hands on my hands
on my neck and on my breast
I'm sure you've noticed

Baby girl, baby child, they sang
Hold on to this, you'll like it just try it
Here's a thing that we could do
In your lap or in my lap
I just want to be there forever

Awkward Tuesday is not unconditional
I really loved them but it's just not professional
I take their life force, their time and the candy
Baby, I'm the loneliest doll
I'm the loneliest girl, doll
I'm the loneliest god
an autobiography
Feeling Real May 2021
I lost the only man I ever had
He looks me in the eyes
To say I’ve never had him
Feeling Real May 2014
Wordless
exact, completed
but too young
too lively
to wither
and gray

Timeless
inside of heads
to turn off
machines
that give breath
life

Hectic
Frantic longing
of past art
a God, and
I ranted
for
more
Feeling Real Jun 2014
****** woke up and said, "Let's pass some time.

I'll give you what I have, if you will take all of my sorrows away.

All of the bad, bad, days.

You can have the anxiety and my greatest mistakes."

****** woke up to share all her things

****** woke up and said, "Here, have my everything."

And he took them
Feeling Real May 2021
I once had a dream of a handsome man
The kind with timeless, tired eyes
Four piece suits
And hair slicked back
Moustache



But now I fall in love with every glance
Every moment, each memory
Repeats into a cascade in my head
I was never as bright
As I was, as I shined
Every single weekend night
Feeling Real Oct 2014
His eyes have stayed with me
How alive can one be?
I remind myself of winter

Sure, of bright, of white
A sugared mess of joy
But I am dead

I met autumn in him
Springing to life
He carried wind on his back

Though I tried I can not steal
His heart
Or his look of lovely cheer
Feeling Real Sep 2015
Every other sentence out of my mouth is an execution
Where the needle digs further than the vein

I only found desperation when I longed for salvation

I am a joke at my own expense
Because the universe is too large to make fun of me
part 3/3
Feeling Real Jan 2016
He said there’s always another woman

And nobody’s better than mine

Said he’d teach me the tricks, I’d be fine

I’m still a little girl, but I’m smart, he says all the time

I can do anything I want if only I could find

Something to occupy my feeble mind

And the days pass with nothing to do

I’m just wasting my time with my - with you

It’s true you’re the best thing to happen to me

Since I fell down and found this place on my knees
found this is a notebook from my senior year
Feeling Real Dec 2015
i'm the abandoned streets
winter's lack of heat, darkness
at 3:45 am, the moonlight reflected
on the snow, just sparkling, pulling
marijuana smoke from my lungs

i'm candy coloured lights on a fake
christmas tree, spent hours unfurling
the branches, dangling spirit unto them
without care, forcing hot chocolate down
my gullet like it was the only familial
connection i'd ever be allowed a part in

i'm the dead heat of summer, where it's
just too hard to move, and even though
the air conditioning is functioning and the
sunlight seems so pleasant, it's just too hard
to rub my whole body down with sunscreen
and find shorts to wear and find a tank top
to wear and find a way to make my sweat
appealing to anyone who might see me out walking

i'm the night time, wide awake from sun down
to sun up, doing nothing, a trance state from
moon to moon, for gods and messages from god
i'm the studying for hours for no reason except
it's something to do and i'm not tired, i'm so tired
but i'm chugging coffee cup after coffee cup and
contemplating the best time to start pretending
that my life is fine for just a moment of peace before
i allow sleep to take me, the fantasy of reality
where i am as important as i want to be, my fingers
under the covers because even though i am alone
i am ashamed i might see myself touching myself
an anti-****** where i am one with my shadow
Feeling Real Oct 2022
I will chase you down
If you don’t love me
Fashion hairpins from
Fish ribs
Bring myself to anti-******
Thinking of your
Valleys and hills
Carry buckets of water
Over all the trails

I’ll teach you the value
Of holding my hand
And the separate pleasure
Meeting for moonlight sonata
In the middle of daybreak
And I will do it
Drag the entire world down
To fit in your palm
I will do it

I’d like to meet you in a daydream
On the foothills of the Appalachia
Spreading seeds and carrying
My harvest basket
I’d meet you for board game night
Across the table
And I’d meet you at a quarter past three
The dead silent night
Lift up my arms and bask in it
Surrounded by all of you

The stars were never this bright until tonight
Feeling Real Jan 2015
We sat near a window
I hoped someone would see
Cause I was so proud
That a  handsome man did want me

When I convinced you to walk in the snow
I froze to the bone and took shelter
It's all a frigid joke
Not adjusted to the cold


“Hey there, come here,
Let me see your hands
To warm from ice,
Come here, I will hold you”

I fell on my ***
You laughed and fell on top of me
We raced towards the warmth
Which you tried to compete with

Inside your house and closer
You laughed when my words choked me
And gave me a warmer pair of gloves
In your favorite color

You poured us *** but forgot the coke
We laughed about some wrapper
We found inside of our coats
Your brother opens the front door

He laughs in our faces
I race out of the house
Winter tried to stop me
Uselessly, I was never indecisive
Feeling Real Nov 2014
The most I'll get is a smile
A suggestive visual ****
Will no one touch me-
I'm contagion-free
Unless you're scared
Of my suffering
Keep it clean, it taut, it on
It lights, I'll fight for me
