I would now like to declare myself insane
And I’d like to be left alone
If possible I’d like some bitter tea to sip
Whilst watching static on the television
Sleep…
               Sleep…
                             Sleeping…
Transfixed in a half mad stupor
                             Slip…
               Slip…
Slipping…
It’s funny how you suddenly realize these things
Waking up to a demon hanging from your ceiling
Sluggish
and
clinging
to
threads
My seams stitched together
To keep my humanity from pouring out
Stability
Tick…
             Tick…
                            Ticking away…
I’m a time bomb
And you’re all getting burnt
When I blow
This is a bit different for me since I don't write a lot of dark poetry
cigarettes may ****,
blades hurt,
and ***** burns,
but it makes me feel alive,
and I will rather be alive,
than just another living shell,
sitting straight on a shelf,
like a plastic toy.

(e.k.j.)
i've had a bad week.

the violent fall out
mixed with the creeping knowledge
of a dreadful situation
spelled doom for me.

a field day for my emotions,
who were like children in a park,
running wild and
desperately chasing each other
or other things until one day,
they all fell down.

i was found,
curled up and limp on the hard wood floor.
tears were streaking down my cheeks,
feeling like acid rolling down my face.
tears filled with rage, frustration
and sadness feel like that don't they?

and as i watched and observed from the side lines,
i see your eyes,
and i know now
that the wait is over.

i
move
now.

Essays are the worst
I absolutely hate them
Let me go to sleep...

Love *****,
Because I thought I'd finally moved on,
Until I saw your name appear on my screen.
I could've sworn my heart skipped a beat.

Love *****,
Because the only person I want to talk to is you,
And the only person I'm not talking to,
Is you.
That heavy yet relieving sigh
Where did that come from?
I sit and I wonder why!!!
I was talking to a nice guy..
Was that it? Was that a guy sigh??
Oh My!
Sometimes I want to find the tallest building in the world, close my eyes and fall from its rooftop.
Sometimes I want to scream until my vocal cords weaken to the point of tearing, then continue to cry out in silence.
Sometimes I want to bury my face in my pillow and sleep for the rest of my life, with only dreams to protect me.
Sometimes I want to suffocate on green smoke and let my mind drift away until the reality of myself fades.
Sometimes I want to slice so deeply into my skin that the red trickle never ceases its flow.
Sometimes I want to never speak again.

Sometimes I feel as if the whole world around me is beautiful, and I bask in its glory.
Sometimes I wish the sky would fall down on me, and crush everyone else too, so undeserving of life.
Sometimes I want to fly away from everyone and never look back.
Sometimes I want to yell at my creator and ask him why I get to be instead of the others. Why would he hurt my mother?
Sometimes I want someone to wrap their arms around me until I stop fighting, until I stop blaming the world for every mistake I have made.
Sometimes, I wish you would just shut up, and listen...
I'd be okay then.
*If you or anyone you know ever needs anyone to talk to, I'm here...
I love you.
