A
My heart
Is a happy drunk
A little too open
A little too optimistic
It's over in the corner of the bar
Playing poker
Screaming at the top of it's lungs
I'M ALL IN
When it's never
To this day
Had a winning hand

My heart
Is a sad drunk
A little too lonely
A little too caught up in tears
It's over at the counter
Forcing the bartender to take its keys
Because it would rather not go home
Than go home alone again

My heart
Is a reckless drunk
A little too unbalanced
A little too impaired
It's over by the door
Making everyone nervous
A little too good at scaring people away
A little too far gone

Like you
A little too far gone
Turn your head
Shuffle away and pretend you don't notice
The breakdown of a heart
Too drunk on feelings
To know when to stop
"Always become the one being hurt
Rather than ever hurting another"
Words I have strived to live by
The philosophy left by my mother

I've always tried to live my life
Standing up for what is right
Helping others no matter the cost
Being everyone's shining knight

What a horrible way to live

Even when I was on the verge of breaking
Even when the burden seemed too large
I always took it onto myself
And it was always free of charge

They all need to pay

But lately there is this voice
Echoing from the back of my mind
That is always fighting to take over
It wants to punish the unkind

Maybe I don't want to forgive

Tell me who is that inside me
Those thoughts can't be my own
Even when there's no one around
Somehow I am not alone

Just let me come out and play

I'm trying to keep it at bay
Am I past the point of no return?
I JUST WANT THE VOICE TO GO AWAY
But.... *Now....it's my turn
I tried so hard to get this done before December was over :/
There goes the whole "post at least a poem a month for a whole year...."
Oh well.
ANYWAYS....this took a much darker/creepyer...twist than I originally intended....So....oops. sorry about that. I hope you all enjoy it though!!!!
This poem was inspired by the show Tokyo Ghoul....just...for the record. Anyways. Hope y'all like it.

Curing
Oh, what a gift,
...Stopping time's flow.
Just to hold you forever,
...Without letting go.

...Racing and burning,
...Forever returning,
...I loved you each day sure as the Sun loves to fly.
...Rising to Day.
...Falling to Night.
...Forever returning,
...Till the day I should die.

Yes, a gift and a curse,
...Our lives but a verse,
...We dance through the stars, as around us they burst.

A bleeding heart,
A world apart,
By sunsets final glow.

Loves tender fruit,
Pure to the root,
Deep in my heart you sow.

Through misty mornings clouding sight,
Through frozen winter rain.
I know tis true...
it beats for you...
my heart and all its pain.
Words are the most powerful tool that a man can contain, anything greater is a danger to him, and that’s where the woman comes in.

Glass eyed views of the world can be a trouble to a child, but teach them a way to live and they will follow. Take away their childhood and they’ll follow you in vengeance.

An animal’s pride will hunt their hearts for weakness, but hunt them without pride and with loss of your own heart, and they shall be upon you.

Walk this land with your mind and not your feet; search the sky with presence of the ground beneath. Stay true to yourself or you may lose your way and never get back.
What is this? a cluttered room? No, it can’t be.
No space for growth or challenges.
Nothing but books and scraps of scrunched paper failings.
What are you? Myself? is this idiocy I am looking through.
How can you call yourself a mind, a vision, a sound worth hearing.

Listen to me, read carefully and feel my touch.
I am behind you, and within you.
No, you’re not getting it. Look around, you’re alone...I hope.
Oh, of course. No! it’s not sweat on your cheek, it’s me.
I came closer, I tried to stop shouting. I leant in for a closer smell on what you’re thinking.
What I’m thinking? you and I are the same you know.

Excuse me? I said excuse me.
Did you stop listening? did you seriously fall off track to what I’ve been saying this whole time.
Go back, take one more look.
No no no, not what I’ve wrote down for you to look at later incase you forget.
Remember, what did I say earlier. Oh, yes, there it is.
Realisation is your fault. You drift in and out don’t you.

That’s where I came from, you fell from your own line so much that I was left on the curve.
Hello, I am you.
When you throw away that amazing idea on the torn paper.
You put down your dream, why did you do that? why.
Honestly, I’m sad. I can be the nicest guy you’ll ever meet,
but trust me, I can be the worst.
and we are stuck together.
Unless you release me.
Write me. Be me.
You are too great for me to share your mind.

Please. Run.
This is a simple look at to what writer's block does to me.
