Overthinking
Kai Dec 2024
Overthinking.
It starts with silly little fears
And gets worse as you age.

Soon, you don't only worry about making a mistake, no.
It turns into paranoia.
You lose the ability to escape in your thoughts
Because you're anxious that someone in the room can read minds,
Even though you know it can't be true.

You avoid doing embarassing things on your phone,
Thinking someone might have hacked it and sees what you're doing.

You start worrying if you walk the correct way,
Anxious of every little mistake, unnoticable by the others,
But noticable by you.

You're scared of doing everything you love
And soon, overthinking takes away your whole freedom.
As someone who's paranoid for literally no reason, these are some of my thoughts and stuff like that, i was wondering if anyone has it similar.

Control
Kai Jun 25
A feeling
That over time turned into a word,
Being too far to reach.
Trying to reclaim it,
You get hurt,
Or hurt others,
For the tiniest feeling of power
That feels so wrong,
Yet so right.

Trying to regain control controls you.
at this point i dont really have control over much stuff but oh well
Kai Apr 4
See through their souls
And the things they like,
Write like they want to read it.
The writing style that according to them
Shall be successful.
Make it more simple,
More complex,
Whatever they like,
Make it realistic,
Or dreamy,
Happy
Or sad.
Tell a story
They would tell themselves.
I go to this writing contest every year since 5th grade, i got the 2nd place 3 times and 1st place once. The only time i didn't get anything was in 6th grade, when i wrote how i liked it. Trust me, on those you won't get far, you have to write how they like it. But it's also very important to write how YOU like it, otherwise it becomes another task.

I have to have you comply
For i will take away your will to live.
In the end, you'll end it anyway.
Your lean figure leaning over a torn piece of paper
With tears in your eyes.
Some people can't bear being with a bear,
Winding up for harsh winds
Or being so close to closing yourself.
Okay this doesn't make any sense but homographs are cool, change my mind

Poet
Kai Jan 29
A soul broken into pieces,
And given an ability to write in return.
As "compensation".
To make people relate,
Getting the tiniest bit of happiness
From their work
While dying slowly.
I feel like this one is kinda selfish but idk

"Just one last time"
Kai Jul 25
It's been 4 years.
Over time it went from "just this once" to "deeper" and i really dont know how to quit tbh

Toy
Kai Apr 8
Toy
Being toyed with our feelings,
We function against our will
Controlled my the lucky-born
Stuck in the sweet delusion of hope.

Goodbye?
Kai Jun 6
I always dreamed
Of dying in a special way.
People worried,
Mother guilty for what she did,
The awkward school assembly about a dead student.
Someone trying to stop me from ending it all.

Yet now i sit in my room,
Reading the texts from earlier,
The pretty lies, saying it's "just a break".
A break i won't come back from.
i told a few people that were somewhat close to me that i'll have to take a break due to my mental health getting really bad again. honestly, it's starting to look more like a goodbye, i'm sorry.

Children
Kai Nov 2024
All adults were once children
There are no exceptions
And that's what's truly heartbreaking
Villians are made, not born
At least not always

Every angsty drug dealer
Every teacher
Every depressed poet
Every grave

When you see a homeless person
Do you ever wonder what their life has been before?
They were just a child
With hope
Hope which died along with their innocence
In every person there exists a child

Words
Kai Jul 25
Words, as beautiful as they are,
Can't capture the feeling of relief
After harming the skin you were given
By "God".
They'll never capture the guilt
After putting the tool away,
The feeling of being cared for while you clean your own cuts,
The promise of never doing it again,
And the betrayal of your own words
Bruh i wanna be able to write better againnnnn, writer's block is a *****๐Ÿ’”

10pm
Kai Dec 2024
10pm.
The time when i used to always text you,
The time i told you about everything
And anything.

10pm.
Every single evening.
The hour we got together,
When i confessed months of surpressed feelings.

10pm.
Now it's all gone.
But the hour remains special.
Instead of joy, it is filled with pain.
All because one text.
10pm was the time when i used to always text a guy i absolutely loved, we were together for 9 months but i guess im unlovable.

Love poems
Kai Jan 29
I could never write those.
A type of art so sweet for the soul,
Yet so hard to master and understand.
A poem written by the heart,
The hand only being a
Tool for it to communicate.
Trying to explain
Something no one truly knows.
Seriously, every time i write love stuff i cringe after the first line and give up lol
122 · Dec 2024
Pain
Kai Dec 2024
It doesn't go away
It just transforms into something else
Like energy never dissapears and just turns into a different type of energy, pain never goes away. It can change, sure, but it's always there.

Lost
Kai Jun 17
Lost in a world i knew so well,
Locked myself up in my own hell,
Losing friends,
Hoping that it finally ends,
And sets me free from my own prison.

False beliefs,
Trying to find relief from the grief
Of an alive person,
A brother, a son,
He's still here,
But i believe he's gone.
i might take a break from writing (i know i keep saying this, i'm sorry) because i quite literally went into psychosis and i can barely function, not even mentioning writing. btw yes, im getting help, it just doesn't really work tbh

To Drab
Kai Dec 2024
This isn't a poem but a piece of writing to remember a wonderful person that was here before randomly dissapearing. Some of you might remember him. He was that one kind, older man who wrote poems i absolutely loved and was also my first follower. I'm not sure why he left or what happened but i wanted to write this so people would remember him. I never knew him personally and i didn't even know him for long here. He was pretty active on here and i feel like it got a bit empty without him. I love everyone here but i feel like everyone remembers their first follower/supporter, especially if they were active. So, Drab, even tho you probably can't read this, thank you.
His account got deleted so i cant show yall sorry :(
also, sorry it's not perfectly written, i can't really focus today

Ban

Ban
Ban everything,
Media,
Differences,
And the will to live.

Ban everything, except yourself.
The history book on the shelf always repeats itself.

Pain
Kai Apr 3
The best of the worst motivators.
i feel like everytime i get hurt, i write to somehow cope with the feeling. i hate it. it almost feels as if i craved pain to get the motivation, the attention and validation to write new things. it certainly doesn't feel fair.

Heart
Kai Dec 2024
Make my heart shatter
To assemble it again
And destroy it later
Breaking it into more pieces

Worry
Kai Apr 4
Worry hurts.
A lot more than it should,
Sometimes it's different than just hoping
Someone would get home safely.
Sometimes it's worrying about someone's life.
To those that read "hurt him", the guy responded. He left the server he loved, he texted me and apparently he's really stressed and im extremely worried about him. He said he's not suicidal but I'm still really worried.

Cold water
Kai Jul 9
When your hands are freezing, cold water seems warm,
A bit of kindness seems like a confession,
Trauma seems like normal life.
I really wish i could control the water's temperature myself.
dawg idk im bored๐Ÿ’”

So i closed my eyes,
Hoping to blur the image,
Yet it stayed untouched.
Why must my own brain betray me?
Or it it me that can't seem to let go?
it's been almost 8 months, i should be over this by now..

Nonsense
Kai Dec 2024
I
Am
Bad
With
Stuff
Barely
Showing
The way i am
Explainin'
Them and i am
Seeing that i
Don't belong to
This world for
The current age
Alright so even i dont have any idea of what this is about (the first line has 1 letter, the second 2 and so on) so yeah

Myself
Kai Jan 10
I miss who i was
Don't know who i will be
And I'm scared of what I've become.
I don't really know who i am anymore.

All i wanted
Kai Dec 2024
I got everything i wanted
But not in the way i hoped
I have a feeling that everything i wished for when i was younger happened later but in a way that either hurt me afterwards or just completely different than what i wanted. I also really wanted bad stuff to happen to me (i dont know why) and it all happened. I might just be paranoied but still.

Death
Kai Apr 8
It holds your hand gently
As it leads you to your demise,
Pulling you hard
Or stopping you.
It chooses for you.

Poetic?
Kai Apr 3
"Quite poetic, isn't it?"

"Everything is poetic."
A real conversation i had with someone, and a sentence i say a lot. Technically, everything is poetic.

Love
Kai Jul 25
Another, more delusional word for hate.
I wrote this like 3 years ago ****, maybe love isn't necessarily hate but it definitely looks similar sometimes

Write my own life
Without someone else holding the pen

Mother
Kai Jul 25
I miss your love,
Your voice that made all the pain go away,
Your hands that always knew how to make something
Out of nothing.

Now i only get your hate,
Your voice that causes me pain
And your hands that hit me for not being perfect.
I just want her back, at least for 5 minutes

Last rant for now
Kai May 29
(again, if this gets taken down it's fine)

So.. Idk if this can be called a rant, im kinda just explaining some stuff. School is really too much rn, im failing literally everything. Then there's some personal stuff, but that's not important cuz that's just mental health stuff. I tried to stay for longer, but i genuinely can't anymore. Because of this, i will be taking a break for a while. I'm fine, really, i just need some time to think about stuff. I know no one cares, but idk it just felt rude to leave without an explanation. Anyway, I'll come back as soon as i can, I'm sorry.
Again, i know no one cares but whatever

Who should i be
When i am gone?
When i have lost,
And his words won.
When what comforted me
Brought me pain,
A rapid fall,
After a gain.
To repeat this over and over again.
sorry for not writing, ive been dissociating so bad for the past few days and it *****

Different
Kai Feb 11
The same
Yet so different
Same person
But they changed.
Who thought that one sentence
Can change so much
When you lose a friend (or more), they're technically still the same person but so different

Update
Kai Apr 23
Hi so this is a bit different from what i usually write but yeah.
Thank you so much to all of the people that were worried, i wouldn't be here without y'all (i'm serious, you guys were the reason i didn't go through with it). Basically i had a random breakdown from bottling stuff up and i was trying not to off myself, which ended like this. I'm somewhat fine now and i'll talk to my therapist and all that. Again, thank you all so much.
<3

Has your voice fallen silent,
Or is it my ears that no longer hear?
Did your words fade away,
Or is it my eyes that went blind?
Did the paper burn,
Or does my hand no longer know how to write?

Tell me,
Do these stupid words answer the question,
I yet have to look for?
The question,
I've been so afraid to ask,
Let alone find.

Is it my fault,
That you no longer exist in my world,
Or did the universe see you as a mistake on its own?
Is it my fault,
That i simply cannot hate you?
could be better, honestly, but at least i went back to writing (i deadass have no idea what to write about but as long as it sounds decent, i dont mind i guess.. i need someone to write about, but for that i will have to wait ****)

Erase myself
Kai Apr 22
I quietly erased myself
From your life
Dot by dot
Until the day came
When i disappeared
With nothing but a "sorry" and "i love you".
Today at 5:37am i texted 3 of my friends to not worry about me if something happened to me and that i love them, before logging out of discord. I can't bring myself to log in again. The "dot by dot" part mean me erasing one of the 8 dots i had in my bio each day. I knew no one would notice it, but wasted time on it anyway. I don't know what's going on with me anymore. Also, if you have time, please read the thing i wrote earlier, it would mean a lot.

Writing block
Kai Nov 2024
Every writer's nightmare
The feeling that makes you feel completely helpless,
Useless.
It's more than just losing motivation

The writing block hurts
You can't write a single word
Knowing you have to
So you just hope it passes
Feeling anxious with every second

And when it ends
The new one is already coming
It's an endless cycle
Not the best but i dont really know what to write, i might upload some of my older ones tho
71 · Jul 7
pathetic
Kai Jul 7
is it pathetic,
that the only way i can deal with your words
is hurting myself?

an argument
that you'll forget about in 15 minutes,
leaves scars on my body
that will last forever.
apologies don't erase the damage, especially if it's physical, and i don't care if i sound like a **** rn but she should ******* understand that

How dare they
Kai Jun 24
I miss your soft voice,
I'm terrified of forgetting the sound of it,
Angel,
How dare they steal the only light i had?
The one that would comfort me when i was sad,
How dare they take away the only person
That truly cared?
The only voice, that when i was scared
Would take the demons,
And lock them away in himself.
How dare they,
Dim the only star in my sky,
And tell me i simply closed my eyes,
How dare they lie..

Tell me, will that star ever shine again?
Or will the spot on the sky be forever abandoned?
sorry if this one is bad, i haven't written normal stuff in a while

— The End —
