When I explode after being hit again and again like a piñata
No one will come rushing
Because all my life I have been filled with hurt, loneliness, dispare, neglect
the love that was in there turned sour.
The hope and joy were stolen years ago.
So the day I crack after too many beatings,
no one will be there to pick up the pieces.
Because I'm full of ****.

river bed

Today I
tore at my roots
and I bled the river
you bade
flood

I scratched
at the surface of
my parchment
soaked in vapid
blood

And from that
empty river bed
I rose from
dust my belly
Used to scrape

more of a common thought than a poem, but whats the difference anyway.

more of a common thought than a poem, but whats the difference anyway.

sometimes its strange to watch people in motion, going here and there,
watching them in their moment,
their life.
thoughts do wonder if they struggle like me.
I'm sure tho, because we are all human, and humans **** up, a lot.
so I guess I reassure myself as I stand and watch others move about me. A deadly disease being human, but a blessing as well. To the ones we miss and the ones we push away from our deadly human being self.
