Not doing so good today.
A mountain of bills that won't go away.
Snowed under.
In debt, in moments of doubt.
Haven't got  money, doing without.
Work like a *****.
Daytime and night.
Suffocating in bills.
Dying of fright.
Getting too heavy.
Where is the light.
Cruising through a tunnel.
Bones are all piled up.
Covered in skin.
There is just darkness.
Never will I win.

When I was still young and fresh
A million years ago
I walked on edges
Always on the edge of something
Something wild

Bright lights and long nights
Lots of laughter and music
Always music
Singing with the band
Dodging the flying glass
When fights broke out
Howling to the moon
Oh, wild indeed were we

All shadows now, alas
Visions from an addled brain
Pubs, clubs and smoky dumps
Leave no turn unstoned was the cry
More fun than fundamental
And fundamentally flawed, it was
A couple of hours sleep 'fore the day job
With eye-lids stuck together
And walking into walls
But still I wouldn't have swapped it
For all the strait laced straight faced
Wealth in the world

the distance between us is not keeping me from missing you. i miss you. i miss you like how i miss myself since the day someone took a piece of me and never gave it back. i miss you like the emptiness inside of me that keeps me from being happy. i miss you like the days when i was still my daddy's girl and i wish i could bring back the way he looked at me again. i miss you like the song i heard once that i can't seem to get out of my head because the title is forgotten somewhere in there. i miss you like how i miss my friend that now lays inside a coffin with her name carved on a stone and inside my body. i miss you like how i miss breathing. i miss you like how the world yells at me for being this sad. i miss you like the soul i used to have.
re-posting this from my old account (that for some reason, i can't access now)
Life is about hands.**

It is about you,
Staring at them
The first time you burned your fingertips
Because you were so curious
and it was forbidden to touch the hotplate.

It is about you
Staring at them
When they are all blue and numb
From the icy touch of snow
After you had a snowball fight
With your best friend from kindergarten.

It is about you
Staring at them
When you are supposed to write an essay
But they won't write anything down
Because you are not at school with your thoughts.

It is about you
Staring at them
The first time you fell for someone
And your burn for the idea of touching them
But you cannot
Because you don't want to be foolish.

It is about you
Staring at them
When they hold alcohol
After you drank your first beer
And it tasted disgusting
But you are one of the cool ones now.

It is about you
Staring at them
In the dark at 3am
Holding your own hand
Because there isn't somebody else who would do this
And you feel so lonely.

Part 2 & 3 will follow. //
I hope the language is ok, message me if not.

Endorphins need to be released
In the quest for happiness and peace,
So if you love it let it go
And feel the joy it can bestow
In reply to Ryan - SparKticas's "Single Cell Organism"

Cheerfulness is never more than a thought away, although I appreciate that can seem like quite a distance away sometimes.

it was 13th day of july;
exactly a year ago when  
i heard the last words
you blurted out from your mouth
like a sharp sword deeply
pierced right through me—
your goodbye

it was a rainy day indeed
lightning streaked across the night sky
and snapped a bright flash of light
tears fell down from my swollen eyes
like how the heavy rain poured out
loud screams echoed around
as the roar of the raging thunder began

365 of melancholic days
and sleepless nights had passed
365 days of long cries while catching
heavy breaths from my tight chest
365 days of finding an answer to
the same question i used to ask
"why can't he love me back?"

i was once lost but,
i've got myself slowly restored
the sullen sky stayed completely serene
rainbow appeared above the clouds  
i was seeking for the sun
to warm up the atmosphere
but instead,
i felt the cold breeze
brushed through my skin

you came up to my door
out of the blue like a storm;
an unpredictable storm yet so devastating
everything seemed to be fine—
but then you were,
taking a step again
in my placid world
without giving me
any warn
never thought i could write something that would turn into a good piece like this

I love you no more said he
Why said she
Just because said he
This is a joke right said she


And he left her just like that.
No explanations.
No goodbyes.
Just  *I LOVE YOU NO MORE
Epiphany
On I walk a winding road
choked by thicket on both sides,
A lonesome path seldom strolled
but for a raven eyed

Sky dyes to red,
plagued by smothered light
The Vagrant seems to emanate
never within sight,
He follows in my gait
as fright blooms into night,...

On we walk the winding road
feet fall stride for stride,
The Ravens cries do not bode
well of what will betide
The Wanderer begins to goad
a creeping suicide,

It matters not, what cycles rot
nor incubus I sheath,
His laughters in my very thoughts
The echoes raze beneath

On I walk the winding road
Only one, I stand
The Raven flies overhead
we walk it hand in hand
Feedback appreciated(influenced by robert frost)
The Raven wasn't taken from Poe it was in the picture prompt
