My heart beats to the ticks of time
each one in sync
not one falling out of beat
fighting to keep it all away

Losing everything I've ever loved
aching to be free
keeping away hidden memories
only meant to burn

Void of feeling
coasting through the days
roaming he Earth lonely is my Hell
my own personal purgatory

Living life through a rose tinted glass,
tinted to the flaws of the world,
Naiveté posing a threat to plainly seeing how life truly is,
eating away my being is the outcome of blindly seeing.

Thinking people are all good,
people are cruel, greedy, and narrow-minded.
Trampling over others to get to the top,
only to find out wealth isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Loneliness doesn't consume who I am
Burning bright is a fire deep inside
Never extinguishing
Never fading away
As days go by this light inside gets brighter
No one notices anymore
They all fade to gray Submitting to conformity
Losing what they once were
Not an ounce of uniqueness survives
It dwindles to the dark gloomy world
Shell casing of humans are left behind
Moving through life like programed robots
I'm the only spark to individuality left
The vibrant rainbow lighting up this gray world
Just one touch from me is all it takes
Slowly the world gains color again
Extinguishing conformity
No gray left
Empty casings now full of life
Beaming individuals
Forever changing the world

Precious drop of Jupiter
fall gently from the sky
dripping off the ripe flesh of life
pooling and then drizzling down

Creating ripples throughout time
filling up a bottomless glass of life
turning oceans into thoughts
flowing to the rhythm of time

Gazing into the depths of infinity
morphing into jewels of the Galaxy
bursting with bright energy
gleaming eyes reflecting depths that cannot be reached

Pillars of dusts gathering to form an identity
sizzling dreams zapping into reality
creating comets of wonderment
squeezing out hard the pulp of life

Gazes seeking to find the truth
Truth in life, in humanity
seeking to swallow my conscience up whole
engulfing me into several different paradoxical lives

Creating something from nothing
making you think deeper than you ever have before
circling in on itself to ***** out the glow
wasting away that glass life of infinity

My heart beats but is not heard
crying out for love
for anything to grasp onto
cracking under the loss of normality

Longing for a mother's touch
oozing out tainted blood to circulate through an empty shell
beating to a steady, sad beat
these hands of mine caress once what was hollow and broken

They write out things, dark things
allowing my hearts blood to write words lost to speech
gaining strength
losing that gentle soft touch

Etched scars forever staunched from flowing onto paper
creating art one word at a time
darkness is what consumes this clockwork of my brain
buried deep are thought that could never be brought to the surface

Allowing dark thoughts to flow through my hand to meet paper
thinking back to shadowed days of the past
ticking away at catchy lines
sinking deeper and deeper into my souls confines

Dragging to the surface what must be left alone
My mouth tightly sealed
tries to hide words that can't be spoken
tongue silently flitting over my teeth silently speaking thoughts

Feeling the words drip down from gums like saliva
gathering words in a shallow puddle
longing for my lips to speak what I know I mustn't utter
Succumbing to the inner battles the words wages on my delicate mouth

Horrible things have been seen with these tattered eyes of mine
death forever ingrained in my mind through these eyes
Burning and searing into memories sights I have sought after
sights full of beautiful imagery

Leaving my grasping for more
pull in colors to put in little glass vile
so I can go back and uncork my very essence of happiness
These feet have traveled to far away places

Taking me on a journey to behold
taking root to a future
leading me to nowhere and everywhere at the same time
staying put taking in all of my surroundings

tapping out beats of a worn path
leading the way to one endless journey through life

Unicorns talking to me in my head
filling my world with dread
crunching and munching down on grass
this weird unicorn likes to steal my hash

Munch, munch, munch
he's stealing my lunch
he's like a thief
constantly causing me grief

Walking, talking driving me insane
constantly begging me to pet his mane
ignoring his pleas to me best
hopefully tonight I'll get some rest
So we had to do a poem in class yesterday with certain parameters and the subject I got was unicorns. So here's a playful poem hope y'all like.
