GoodbyePoetry
Folie Sep 2020
Gold can hold its weight but you can’t hold your own
Fools coin in your purse, I think I, found who cast the first stone
Ten years older and you still don’t live on your own

Bottomless cup but you never filled it
Take your emotions and, bottle up
I hope you, “bottoms up” till you lose feeling
Cheap whisky made you  warm up
Bet I got you thinkin as if it matters anymore, boy you’re sweatin’

Spilt your cup, I got you pouring
Most the time this sites annoying, buncha pent emotion placed aside like a toy, that barrel of feelings is pulsing
The slump ain’t the issue, just don’t stay it, correct your posture and keep pushing off the pavement, It’s time I dip, my toll is your time and thank you for the payment
Hey you, don’t turn around, boi Vulture’s keeping an 👁 on you from SoundCloud 😂

The poet stood their, defeated, harrowed by how he was wrong, dead yet still hung on the last sound , not able to let all his limbs slip into the void, but you see the poet needs to let go, the poet needs to understand that all mistakes will be known as something of the past but will be forgotten far before rhythm

Who’s to say, that no matter how reality checks out, we’ll be thinking something different, could you think it? Or is it rather holding a gift you don’t want, who’s to say the tangents are beauty if that’s tangible by the eye of the observer you see that must be beautiful, the poet struggles to imagine the idea of starting off the wrong foot

The poet stood their, thinking, how much muddier is it gonna get before I can have an opinion, how many times are you going to tell me why he killed him, but the poet doesn’t care for cause or reason, the poet sees that body, and lays a flower on it.

We seem to hate each other yet we all run from death, and the killer cried, who’s the one with the bloodied knife, I’ll **** you! , and the victim will scream ‘******’ but the killer gets away, just for new white gloves to comes to get stained and

the observer stood there, crying...
You see the poet thinks, it’s bad to wrap yourself in lines you pretend can’t break, cause when you shed them, what’s left?
The poet stood their, spitting, what if I’ve already told you this one, as he sat their thinking of what to spit.

Impatient
Folie May 2020
Skin peeling off
Apple core rotted in a crack den
Needles for stems and the seeds are much better off
One’s barely on the tree and the other already fell off
Bitter taste left on the grass but there’s still time to grow
Winter just ended and everyone’s waiting to be blown away

Folie May 2020
Perfection is a beautiful thing
Something we’ve always been fascinated by
But there is a subjective to every true perfection
To many, it’s a god, the true perfection, the one we’ve sacrificed love and life for
To some, a way of living, believing that we as humans, we can reach true perfection
But is there even a true perfection?
Folie Mar 2020
Simplicity’s a mistress I won’t sleep with
A fine line between quality and quantity can often be read in the lines of what a poet says
Though most people can’t get past two lines or achieve either
So call me jealous, I’ll call you shallow

Dead Optimist
Folie Mar 2020
I’ll wear my heart on my sleeves so when I sleep I can feel the weight of my soul but I don’t hear a beat
I hear a scream, it says
Let me spread my wings, set me free
Don’t hold me down, just let me seek
My brightest thoughts, my darkest hours
I didn’t live if I died a coward, but I’m buried alive
My flame will burn through my coffin and only get brighter
Till Im tired of this rock and go among the other lights
I’m a star you should look up at

Cold Shower
Folie Feb 2020
Drunk and stumbling to my room again
I think somethings broken but I can’t feel what’s sinking in
My head’s killing me, I feel heat against my skin
But before know it , Im falling over myself
Didn’t even notice I was looking ceiling
Heeling it to the dresser
Pick it up and put it against the side of my head
That’s it, I’ve had it, I admit, I’m an addict
Can’t even make it through one shot without thinking about my bad habits
Dial up 911, take the safety off and squeeze th-
I’m not suicidal, Incase someone goes through the trouble of thinking it
Folie Nov 2019
A pure soul bares used fangs with blood dripping down their lips while they carry a soft smile knowing know one saw what they did
To that husk devoid of a soul with two holes left in their heart knows pain yet that wasn’t what left them for dead
That was left to knowing they didn’t die after the tragedy and that the rest only hold fury toward them just because the husk won’t pretend to have a heart left in their chest.
I’m not done yet.

Of Noble Blood
Folie Aug 2019
Black silk veils the kings
Under prestige and pride they walk across  the broken lands of their people
Coated with bloodstained gold for crowns
And a soft echo wakes in every step they take, never truly waking the villagers nearby
As they walk past their burning kingdoms they hold their heads above all others
For that is the life of a king.

Aphrodite's Blood
Folie May 2019
Blood seeps through the sheets
What a lovely night
I’ll sink through the thoughts and guide my soul to you
I’ve fallen for your trap, I’m a fool

Cast my life beyond your thoughts
Such a cold embrace for such a warm heart
I welcome myself to your bed at knell.

Sealed Lips
Folie Apr 2019
S-stutter before me
Legs shaking, you’re nervous
Seeking warmth in the winter
You seeking me will only show I’m heartless
There’s too much ice to warm the flow
So don’t wait for me to respond
Just tread through the snow, go past me and beyond.

Shallow Water
Folie Apr 2019
God’s teardrops
Drown me till the rain stops
I’ll wait till tomorrow
The weight of a great sorrow
Has caught my mind with an arrow
Precise as the line of a hunting sparrow
Hiding my real feelings
If I’m doing well or if truly caught by hell, there's no telling

Tinderbox
Folie Apr 2019
Why care for the world when we can set it all on fire
Catch my personality in a pyro’s attire
Spiral through my desires and watch gasoline make the flames get higher
Inspired by passion
I’m tired of waiting for sparks, fuel, or a lighter
I’m tired of looking at this fire
I’m tired.

Battle Urges
Folie Mar 2019
Why should I consider their feelings
I know they’re toxic so it’s fun to provoke them
I’m looking for them to fight anyway, I mean
What good is killing a snake if it doesn’t show its fangs?
I might go back to making poems.

Thoughts I Sleep On
Folie Feb 2019
I'm walking through days and nights
don't know I am but I see me in spite

I'm troubled every day and night
On who I can be and if I can continue to fight

Who am I really when I don't do what's right
When my eyes don't seem bright
When I question my hope, that's when I lose the sun's light
I see me as a coward at night.

Roses & Tap Water
Folie Feb 2019
Roses withering in my hand
I’ve been waiting too long
There’s no water in the vase, only sand
I refuse to look toward tap
I want the ocean

For tap comes and goes when I want
But doesn’t know what I want
And it’s got an artificial heart so it beats when it wants
It lets me breathe when I want
I need something natural and something that can read me for once
I want the ocean.
Happy valentines.

Dripping Cyanide
Folie Feb 2019
What happen to our walks home where we didn't think about the differences
What happen to being self grown and understanding who the other is
How could you become so blind yet try to describe me
I'm annoyed by you're attempts to hand cyanide to prescribe me

March To The Sun
Folie Jan 2019
Godless black seas cast upon the Sun’s field
Of eyes that vainly crave the light
What good amid this line
Heaven forbid they see you cry
No one dares look to the sky

And as the rain covers this line
of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me
So sad our ocean graves are just beyond the sand
I ask myself the question why
We still wait for light

We’ve been standing here for so long
Of the empty and useless years of the rest
Forever reproaching myself, I hear a voice inside my head
Follow me instead
And I will break from our ranks

Escaping what we’ve made
Of cities fill’d with the foolish
Of the poor miles of land in front of us
And the wages of war will start
I will be in line against the clouds

At last we’ve won, in trade some die
And the powerful play goes on
With the rest me intertwine take me up
Seal the door
Death has received many souls, I am just one more.
This poem is actually my English project
We had to use a 5 line stanza 5 times were we use a poem we've read a song of our choosing and making a song out of it
it goes Self, Poem, Poem/Song, Song, Self.
This was really hard to make but I hope you enjoy it and I hope my teacher does as well
I used the poem Oh me! Oh Life By Walt Whitman
And the song March To The Sea by Tyler Joseph

Make sure to leave a comment on what you think the meaning is!

Time’s Endless Emotions
Folie Jan 2019
Shedding feathers, I fear the wind is dying
Clouds plague the sun’s skin, I fear there’s no use trying
Passions lost its voice and I shall bite my tongue
For if I speak, I fear the lightning might approach this dying sun

Our friendship.

A Wonderful Day
Folie Jan 2019
On a wonderful day
What of the sorrows that plague away?

Oh what a wonderful day
Even past my timeless grave

Such a wonderful day
For even a few hours Folie will leave when I say

How wonderful a day
I can’t wait smile until you look away

The Story Of Youth
Folie Jan 2019
On a sunny day, there is a boy walking down a aged and wore down sidewalk
He sees an elder sitting on bench waiting at the bus stop
The boy sits next to the old man on the bench
Observing him with curious eyes
The boy asks of his life and experience
The old man smiles and request that in return the child must always be grateful
For no matter how grim life can seem
There is always a good side to it

Beyond The Eyes
Folie Jan 2019
The dull grass holds more then you might be thinking
The hills hide secrets and the cogs are spinning
A hidden a city under the ground
None of the brainless can hear it’s sound
Come see my grand imagination
Even death is seen as pretty
No wait it’s not twisted, stay with me
My world of thoughts are waiting and you hold the key
Beyond the gate, a golden city.

Debauchery
Folie Jan 2019
I’m breaking hearts, It’s hardly me
Lust overwhelming my best intent
My repent doesn’t help me
Sinning doesn’t feel healthy
If there’s a easier way don’t tell me
I’ll pay with my heart, it’s the only fee.
Just wanted to make something short while I still take a break from poetry

A Lifeline From Lonliness

My Mind Is Racing
Folie Dec 2018
Imagery on a dead canvas
Miraculously the paint comes off

Stenching the room with sorrows from
Ordeal of sadness and sorrows this doesn’t feel
Real a endless loop melting away
Reality with the pigment falling off the art
Younger then love but too dumb post depression

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Eyes Behind A Sealed Mask
Folie Dec 2018
Bite my tongue and don't speak my time
Wait for others passion to intrigue my mind
study the cogs that tick their thoughts
Observe every minute tick that goes off on their pocket watch
Watch every glance from left to right
Approval to shun, if renewal after stun
I pay attention to how they present their shock values
Looking at the details in the mask that they value
Forked tongues wielded by angels who claim light
scorched for fun are the demons stuck in blight
The only difference is the untouched don't fight
preventing preserved wings from even taking flight
Just standing there watching with their eyes...
Behind a sealed mask.

Pocket Watch
Folie Dec 2018
Time’s frozen over the stopwatch.
Timeless memories of what’s over.
Too overwhelming, I can’t stand this.
Thoughts I stop when I think of better
Time’s
Value is held high to myself
But when I look in the jar of memories on my top shelf
I freeze.

Fangs
Folie Dec 2018
Hostile fangs of a snake
Trusting would be a mistake
Knowing its heart’s fake
Defile my respect when it’s my trust you break
Show me wear to bare my scars
Endure the venom as I tread along leaving a trail so long it won’t lose me when I lose myself
So long.

Black Tongue
Folie Dec 2018
I’m pride and pesticide
Your cyanide
Cry out poison and reveal your black intents
When you cry them out till we hoist them when you lie of their sin
See me in the mirror
Spill your blood but not a tear
You keep in what you value

Frozen Boots
Folie Dec 2018
Treading through snow
They’ll walk into territory they don’t know
Half the path is frozen over and they cant see down the road
The cement is cracked and dead, it’s wear was sold by the red soldiers abandoned to the ones in black
The angel's of death go along as if made of golden prosperity
Slower and slower they continue till the same road wears their cold bodies
Hey Let’s play: guess that historical event.

I'm not sure why I made this I just got bored and thought this was a good idea

Winter Branches
Folie Dec 2018
Drunkin as I stride
Stumble through forest of memories Trying to find a door before I get lost in trees
The tigers of nightmares see the innocence in me
They want me to bleed
Eyes of the predator pitch blacker the closer it gets
Speed by cold weather
I never plan on getting caught so I’ll hide amongst the winter branches till summer and forever.

Lion’s Pride
Folie Dec 2018
Accepting mistakes
I hate it
My pride’s at stake when it’s not perfect
So many times I’ve given up because of perfection
So many times I’ve ruined something because I thought I could do better
I just want to be happy.
Folie Dec 2018
I hate it when you think others can fix you
Anyone can break and hit you
But you’re the only one that can fix the your tissues
Drop the tissues
There’s no use in crying when at the end of the day they still hit you
Why am I still talking to the mirror and why do I miss you
Why do I feel like you’re hiding under behind me so others might miss you
Instead of accepting yourself you hid behind my heart so I can endure the hell
I miss you.
Folie Dec 2018
You glisten, glow, warm my heart through snow
Melt my feelings when I watch you go
Warmth pulsing from your presence
I love the show
Show me not to fear the showers of lonely dreams when you’re holding me
I’m falling through my thoughts I need to get a hold of me
Walking through a colder scene so I use you in my poetry
But you feel like you are never here
Your thoughts are holding me
And mine keep you from going but little did I know I’m the only one that’s holding me
I’m the only one warming me
I’m the only one warning me to stay away from the glowing

A figment of my mask off
The illusions in the past
My true colors getting on
The paper I painted with
Gray hollowness and tainted with
Toxic insects.

Melting
Folie Dec 2018
It feels the walls are falling
Under my roof I hide
From reality and the fallacy that I don’t feel alone even when I’m not the only one home
And where I’m grown doesn’t feel like home
It feels like I’m alone homeless and postpone from friends with this loneliness
My skeleton wasn’t built to endure this mental pain and my brain wasn’t built to hurt my friends
And it hurts beneath the skin when I bend the truth about if I’ll win for you
But the truth is I’m losing for no one and it’s been like this since day one.

Pedals
Folie Dec 2018
Flow flow flow
Water the seeds and watch it grow
Flowers bloom in the forest full hope
Giving others love with so much to share
Even if such a beautiful thing withers there is more to bare
All with a story so sit down and listen
Doesn’t that seem fair.

A Beautiful Illusion
Folie Nov 2018
Divine beauty in the purest of form
It's bleached feathers grace the clouds, light reflects off the white as would snow
But the wielder of its flight is colder then you know
Sinner behind the pupils of the innocent show
Luminescent crimson eyes only getting brighter as it glows
Black seeps through the feathers when it will say so
The dye of seven bleeds sin pitcher than the moonless night
Evil Beauty in the purest form.

Puppets
Folie Nov 2018
It’s freedom being more and more imbued in a shroud, a mist
Fog taking over it’s bodies controlling the strings that move its motives
It’s eyes lit with the passion of its controller
Its reactions to reality only getting slower and slower until it’s drained of self thought
The dreams ****** from the veins and built to preach their god’s gospel made by a man
The puppet is flushed of thought and color
The strings are cut and it falls to the ground with nothing to give to another
The fog moves away, off to its next victim.
Nov 2018 · 135
Sadistic
Folie Nov 2018
Fill the void with music
Lost in sound I’ll lose it
Confuse love and abuse it
The fuse is lit and I’ve only got so much time to get through with it
To stop the mourning of my dead relations and get used to it
The feeling of condemned to loneliness
The loneliest lover stuck in their mind occupied by music and thoughts of divine
I’ve lost my chance to show myself as not a coward who’ll hide from my issues
Mixed pain and love, call it sublime to my ill mind

Roses and Thorns
In memories I’m torn
The romance felt so bliss until you thought it was worn
It was not forsworn
And while your passion would go with you
Only to leave mine left waiting wide open
Frozen over by winter
Stuck thinking of times better with you warming me with you as the summer
Now I’m stuck in cold weather my feelings toward you feel to last forever
I’ll never forget we were together but you cut our relationships pedals now I’m stuck thinking of you as we severe,
I’m waiting for the day I won’t miss you now or ever.
This was made thinking about a friend, this is him not me.

I have no right to be proud to be me
How dare you be willing to shout
I shouldn’t be ashamed of myself

I’m useless even to the weak
And you’ll lie saying
I’m creative even when I’m weak

I’m right to believe
In the prospect that I’m useless
You’re wrong
I saw a lot of people doing reverse poems so I wanted to try one of my own.

Lost in confusion
I know I’m not safe and I don’t use illusion
Lie to myself but no ones getting fooled then
I’ll try again before I start shattering
The glass is
Falling
Off
The

I’m glad it’s happening
Cause hate who I see in the reflection
I’m regretting even
Tearing
Down
The
Walls
That I’ve been set in

Do I look fret my friend?
This is a play on of Masquerade. I highly recommend it if you feel a bit lost at some parts or if you want to see what I did when it came to word play

Heaven Can’t Cage Me
Folie Nov 2018
I love this Ink written contridiction
But I hate my expression conviction
What if rhyming wasn’t the only way to express myself
What if I could truely find the truest peace
Within pieces of heaven and hell
It’s phesable but death’s ringing to choose a side
I’m sinning to god’s bell

There’s an empty illusion, my mind cloaked in utter confusion and I
Tear
Myself
Apart
Interrupting my own thoughts with unfinished conclusion. My minds losing, sanity spewing,
I’ll lose

in trees
I wish I didn’t tell you what I’m doin’ but my mind grips desperation and it’s not you I plan on fooling
This is one of my first poems. It’s its 1 year anniversary actually

Speak out about the wrong
They’re above so they’re right
We hold them high as they spit down on us
We’re only treasuring the abusive and calling the pure useless
Tear down the ones above

You have the wings of an angel
Burn them and throw away the halo
You're a sinner and a liar
