I see no point
In living
All the troubles
Don’t you see?
Are all caused
By human kind

All the choices
All the suffering
All the wars
All the hunger
All the
Problems

Psychopaths?
Their made from their
Past
Abused
Neglected
Deprived

Retired soldiers
Waking up from
Gory scenes
Of war
Every night?
Those nightmares
Are caused by
The wars
The strife
The protests
The terrorists

A student’s stress?
Expectations
Goals
Standards
Commitments

A breadwinner’s worry?
Money
Income
Maintenance
The next meal

Broken friendships?
Betrayal
Jealousy
Loss of faith
Competition

Therefore
Just dig me
A hole
A deep deep hole
That I can jump into
And vanish
From existence
Entirely

No need to think
No need to worry
No need to decide
No need to go
Crazy
Dealing with
Me

You're a ticking time bomb,
Don't you know?

tick

You have hurt
Too many people
Haven't you realised?

tick

Your words
Sting like bullets
And you keep them coming.

tick

You have caused
Great fear and annoyance
To us, your friends.

tick

You say you know
Your mistakes,
Oh you really do?

tick

You make me doubt you
Because you break trust
Over and over again.

tick

You think we avoid you
But there's a reason why.
You don't find out
And you don't ask why.

tick

You're maybe too smart
And that makes you proud
An air of arrogance lurks all around.

tick

"Oh don't tell me what to do,"
You say to us quite hurtingly.
Can I say this is too much pride?

tick

We're not against you
We're always for you
But we tell you to change,
And you know why?

tick

That's because we care
For you
But you don't see that.

tick

We want to help
You
Become a better person.

tick

You can tell us to go away
And let yourself rot
And go your own way.

tick

We give in too many times
Holding on to
Glimmers of hope.

tick

Hope
That you would change
But you didn't.

tick

Am I foolish
To still have that last hope
That you will change?

tick
tick
tick

EXPLODES

You leave us in the ruins
In the aftermath
Of your explosion.

You're a ticking time bomb,
Don't you know?

No biggie
I'm just another one

Who writes sad poems
Who complains
Who rages
Who cries
Who buries everything
Inside
Who hides
Behind a false front
Who has a dark side
Who has monsters they can't
Control
Who has dark secrets
Who has attitude problems
Who has many sides
Who gets jealous
Who watches silently
Or not so quietly
Who messes up
Who isn't punctual
Who claims to keep their word
But someway or another
Breaks them
Even if only for
A while

Oh isn't everybody
This is getting so
Cliché

So don't mind me
I'm just another one

What do you do when you look around and all you see is black?
You strain your heart each day as you search for something good,
But only find the graveyard
Where love comes to die
And lies grow like weeds.
Holding onto that rope
With bleeding hands,
Holding onto the last strand of hope
With a bleeding heart.
I look around
And feel all is lost:
The world is cruel- selfish
And spiteful and I am no exception
I accept that,
The world is dark and unforgiving
But it’s up to us,
We have to be strong even when we are broken
We have to paint that canvas bright
Until the love finds its way through,
Even just the slightest bit,
The tiniest effort,
can change everything.
