Past

Walking backwards

Trying to find my way to the past

Running into mirrors


But they're just glass

Paranoid
vinci Feb 2019
Not trying
To be alone
I crave
A connection

Wanting
To put in
Earphones
Disconnected

Can't find
The right song
To listen to
Loss of focus

Can't find
Anything
To consume
Loss of appetite

Constricted
By the muscles
Under my skin

Tension
Adds to the room
When others walk in

End of the Day
vinci May 2019
Looking out the window

Thinking about how it was a good day

Chasing the little bit of light that is left

But my eyes can only go so far
  

Catching the last bit of sunlight

Being sure it can't get away this time

Hoping they didn't forget about me and this is it

Only if my problems could drift away like this..

In Trouble
vinci Mar 2019
Today might be a bad day
And I'm unprepared
Eating chips and drinking minute maid
Because something's making me not care

Leaves falling in my backyard
Along with drizzle in the air
Thinking about how life can be hard
In different ways

Deciding if I should stay in bed
And get destroyed by the storm
Because most times I wonder
Why I was born

Wisdom
vinci Apr 2019
...

It's very hard
Trying to make a change in this life
Please fill wisdom in my heart
So that the end of this system, I'll survive
Written sometime in September 2016. Love His people so much

Lunchbreak
vinci Feb 2019
When you walked in the room
I think time froze
I lost my thoughts
I forgot my next move

My hand remained in the bag
My lips remained chapped
Unable to chew
Unable to swallow my food
I became a statue

When I Was Happy
vinci Feb 2019
Back when I was happy
Dandruff in my hair
Skin peeling
Into wings

Looking crazy
I didn't care
I was able to fly
on the tallest buildings

Ceiling
vinci Mar 2019
I turn the music on  
And the lights off
I try to write a poem
My ink lights up on the wall  
  
Finally silence in my brain  
I take moments away  
To remove the ceiling and dive into the ocean above  
   
Wind replaces the fan  
Leaves fall on my bed  
Some flowing down in and out of streams of moonlight  
Before they finally hit the floor  
   
The dots in the sky then connect back into a cage
There's no longer laugh lines on my eyes    
Just wrinkles on my face  
   
The moonlight fades  
Silence turns back into screams  
Reality kicks in  
Hopefully the leaves are still on the floor.. at least.

The City
vinci Mar 2019
You're just another city
That I'm passing through
On the way to my destination
Yet I'm happy to see you

A city with heavy traffic
Difficult to get out of
To get alone

So pretty and very attractive
Difficult not to fall in love
You're all I want

Restroom
vinci Mar 2019
Against the wall
Crying  
Below my knees
No one can hear me
 
Countless tears crash into the ground  
But no one feels the ground shake
They're too far away

Screaming so loud
Looking at red seas in my reflection  
My hands. my tears cover my face..
 
The door opens
And I walk back into the crowd  
No one will ever know what happened
Sometime in 2018

Geek's Journal

I embarrassed myself
By making that odd move
In front of that beautiful girl
While her eyes were on me

Now I sit here by myself
Under the moon
Away from the world
My pain will never be seen

Burning Up
vinci Feb 2019
I need a new outlet
I need a new outfit
Cuz I'm burning out
And soon I'll be naked

My clothes are burning off
But then you'll see my heart
When these flames burn off my skin
So I'll think twice about it.

Autumn With You
vinci Mar 2019
Tossing rocks into a lake
To see if they skip
Like my heart every now and then
When I see your beautiful face

Looking at the leaves in the water
The beauty in this world is only getting smaller
Finding it hard to keep my eyes off you
'Cause my love for you is only getting stronger

Your age
Your ways
So many reasons..
I don't deserve you.

Maybe it's the moments we shared
The times we spend
How beautiful you looked with the sun in your hair
This evening.

I hope you never find out.
(I hope you never do.)
But I hope you don't mind
The love I often find for you

The Fight
vinci Mar 2019
All this light
Being summoned  
To a fight
I knew nothing about
 
..
 
I was just being free
having fun

But here they come

Spiders
vinci Mar 2019
The floor creaks
When she steps down
From the sheets
In her night gown

Spiders crawl
In the morning
Leaves fall
When it is pouring

She gets a call
To do the chores
Her heart stays alive
Though she pulled the chords

How long
will this go on
What is her prize
For not having what she wants.

Growing Up
vinci Jan 2020
Teeth stabbing out of your gums
Hair runs through your skin after birth
Falling in and out of love
Growing up hurts
