salvation

salvation

here.
take my anger
take my anxiety
take my insecurity
take what you will
take what you don't understand
and believe that you have saved me
from these demons that haunt me
believe that i will always need saving
that i will always be a victim
and when I smile, tell me that I'm faking it
or when I laugh, tell the world I must be losing it
take all my emotions against me
i was needy when i needed you
i was selfish when i didn't
so come on,
take this hurricane of emotions
take this.

I Pour Gasoline on Matches

Dec 2017 a mcvicar

DaSH the Hopeful

I Pour Gasoline on Matches

And try to light em underneath an ocean's worth of crude oil
      That is forcing it's way into my lungs
            My high hopes hung their heads in the past as they waited to be hanged

               But now the concept of life felt empty and displayed itself as a delay
        A casual lack of oxygen shut off all process in the brain

                 And we are on our way.

~spark~


                      in the depths
              And the darkness fades to grey,
           **A less ambivalent shade.

Name

Dec 2017 a mcvicar

Existential me

Name

I searched inside myself to realize
there is nothing left to find.
A heart of stone and eyes that never cry,
a confused and twisted mind.
My soul is cold and black as starless nights, never meant to shine.

I know i am just a no one born on forsaken lane.
Belonging nowhere except to the house of pain.
There is no peace within me, no compassion i can claim.
A ******* of the world is my bane.
Will someone tell me my name?
I am a man without a name.

I searched inside myself to realize...there's no one left to find.

I Look Rough Today

I Look Rough Today

Yeah, I look rough today
ain't even got out the bed
I had to deal with my crazy friend
But I don't look too bad
I just look rough
My eyes are swollen up from crying!

I do not judge how people look
it's what's on the inside that counts
My heart is my perfect address
If it feels good then I feel like I'm smiling
Why can't I follow my dreams?
I got a headache today
but I am okay
I will try to calm my mind down.

pretty people

P r e t t y   p e o p l e
W i t h   p r e t t y   w o r d s
B u t   t h e y   a r e   u g l y
T h e i r   s p e e c h   i s   s l u r r e d

They never show
Their real emotions
Because people watch
Their every motion

Everything they have
Is fake
They have noticed
And they have breaked

They were living in
A fake reality
But they've woken up
To actuality

We used to talk
Behind their backs
They noticed
And they cracked

They don't think we love them
They don't think they're pretty
And they really do
Deserve our pity

This is a follow up to the first PRETTY PEOPLE poem.

the heat - a modern haiku

the heat - a modern haiku

under the sheets
my wife and I
the heat

A living body does expel a lot of energy in the form of heat - on a cold morning it feels great.

Up in Smoke

Dec 2017 a mcvicar

Emma Livry

Up in Smoke

I know that you don't want
Anything long term
Or serious right now
And I am completely fine
With being the smoke that
Fills your lungs
Even if just for a moment
And then as you exhale
And let me go
I'll be fine as I watch you
Extinguish the remaining glow
From the short cigarette
Of our relationship.
