In conclusion
Patience Jan 2018
I think it will take me a long time to ever truly trust someone again.

Including myself.

and that was when i realized
staring into my own eyes
my identity unrecognized
that all it was was broken ties

failed academically
failed monetarily
make the one person i love

Newfound
Patience Jun 2017
I didn't start living until 15 days ago.
Hopped on a plane across the world, fueled by hope and thrill, visiting countless countries, famous cities, small towns, pub prowls, tattooed and brand new perspective.
It's quite different than it used to be.
Plagued by disease, wrecked memories, hard to wash stains off child brain, proaction, retraction, all too young to act on desires.
But now I feel I have purpose.
Because when I stress it's not about failing expectations, reality weighs in, search for places to stay in, transportation, learn new languages, survival depends on my eustress now.
And no one can bring me down.

Touch of Insomnia
Patience Jun 2017
It's 5 in the morning
And I can't sleep
Crowded by heat
Lack of AC
Deep thinking
Day dreaming
Trip planning
Article scanning
Random thoughts like
Of the poem I forgot
To show you,
I've been meaning to.
Patience Feb 2017
My hope swirls black
Clouds, back and forth
And back, they grasp
My throat, my hope
Morphed into attack
On my soul, panic
Raids the homes of my
Whole range of emotions
Commotion stirs inside:
My heart, throbs like a
Wound; My lungs reach
For air, but lose; leave
Me to suffocate, please
My hope is gone, please
End my constant pain
The tiring waning of
Survival on its tip-toes
Tripping me, I fall
So often
Without getting up.

What it's like to be sick
Patience Jan 2017
No one gets it
Is an understatement
Because even the people that do
Interpret it different than you
Leaving you lonely
Wherever you go there's
That lingering feeling
That reminds you you're not
okay
And you might never be

So they try to teach you
That that's okay,
That your life can be taken away
Just like that and everybody
You know will continue
To live on without you
But your body won't make it
Your mind will break by
The time everyone's lives start

I'm already broken, stop.

So go tell me it's all okay
That I won't wake up one day,
That's lately what they all say.

How it feels
Patience Jan 2017
My insides are rotting
My veins are clogging
My heart keeps stopping
My brain is screaming

Dissociate to escape
But it's not enough
Doesn't take away
Tough reality

Hitting my head
Wishing to be dead
Dissociate permanently

Kill me already
Patience Jan 2017
Tired of having
A gun against my neck
Please pull the trigger
I just want to be dead.
Patience Nov 2016
my heart is breaking
my spirit aching
spinning around
in circles is taking
a toll on my soul
deep down
there's a hole
and its swallowing
me whole until there's no
more of me left
to compose.

asphyxiation
Patience Nov 2016
Sometimes my Psychie drowns me;
Puts a damp cloth across my face
and Pushes down, hard around
The nose and mouth, taking
breath I try to Pry out
of my strangled mouth.

And suddenly, I can't breathe
demons thriving inside me
My head is filling with their screams
Defacing who I see
in the mirror, I can't breathe
I need some help from someone
Please

In my dreams
I keep on dying
Waking up
with tears, crying
For my self, for my death,
Mourning what
hasn't happened yet.

But I'm always
holding the knife
And I didn't know
that I wanted to die.

As I Jumped
Patience Oct 2016
It's when it gets to the point
Where my mind's callin the shots
And my feet just won't stay still
And disorder is my thoughts

Where I'm waiting on the ledge
I line my feet along the edge
And peek down the little drop
Distancing bottom from top

And my right foot won't stop tapping
Every bad thought's overlapping
My saddest side just won't stop laughing
My cowardice begins to lack and





As I jumped I saw the sun shine
Parallel views of my own eyes
Resting in the blue cracks lies
Content I never had tried.

Pain
Patience Oct 2016
"Wake up."

Tingle up my spine
Evil travels windy lines
Along my back and
Front alike—

Hand reaches to my
Neck, takes the breath I
Shed shakily from
Rigid lips.

My head is pounding
Each beat sounding
through my Bones in
Echoes.

Vision fractured
Cant see past my
Fingertips, the world
is Tipping like a
Ship, back and forth
I'm losing grip—

Invisible
Patience Sep 2016
Pull the tip of my cap down
Covers my face, it is my crown:
Turns me unseen to those around,
The shadow covers up my frown.

My pale face may peek out too;
Even then, I'm still see through.
Forgotten when in the classroom,
Passed in the hallways by you.

Occasionally, I ponder leaving
All this behind, will there be grieving?
Or will I just remain unseen
And become an invisible memory?

In your eyes
the way you
hate
who I've become

In your lies

make
when I'm around

In your words
Your sour tone
shakes
my once sound
peace of mind.

Faustian Bargain
Patience May 2016
I met Him at the crossroads,
Where he asked my soul away;
Naivety took hold of me
And strangled me to say,
"All to do,
Is sign this through
and through, and then
My wishes will come true?"

The smile that embraced
The warm flesh across his face
Digs deeper in my mind
As I replay this (all the time):
Where did I waver,
Trip and cave into desire
deeper than my own
morality?

Maybe I'll never know,
Might as well give it a go,
And enjoy this whole no-soul
****;
It looks as if
I'll be dealing with it
for quite a while anyways.

Intoxication
Patience Apr 2016
I can feel it in my feet
a little tingle, a little tweak
as if I'm floating
  above the sea—
And no ones eyes
are watching me.

My heart pounds with alteration,
I think I live to change the face I
wear around, fit to occasion—
I crave to preserve who I truly am.

Fueling my spirits sinfully,
I revel in poisoning
my frail body with much glee,
despite damage done to me.

I ask

"Indulging in sin

he never has or will—

but at least he hears
my faint cry
and listens, real still.

life out of reality
Patience Dec 2015
pressure on my lungs to ease:
big intake, big release--
the cold just tightens them, you see,
smoke rusts the paths in which I breathe;
it helps my heart, it's calming,
I plead
hopelessly convincing
myself to believe
that I'm not who I've come to be.

A sinning winner
Patience Dec 2015
I wonder how long
Until someone catches on
To how addicted to
Everything I am.

Each drug I take,
and lie I tell,
Each guy I bang,
and time I steal

A sick flush of dopamine
Erupts through me
Embracing my veins in
Everlasting euphoria.

I wonder if this makes me
A bad person;
Indulging in sin,
sure floats my boat--
does that mean I win?

they didn't think id stick it through
the artery on my neck
or that I'd point the gun tip to
the snug bone lining my chin
or take the knife and twist it twice

I didn't think they were wrong.

In the Big Picture
Patience Oct 2015
Freckles of time
Fly effortlessly by
Leaving me behind
Closed doors–what I find

is a knack for creation–
Indulging syncopation
In establishing my mark;
I desire differentiation

in my work to designate
The things I’ve done
Quite innate
Is my notion to be unique–
yet

Like a speckle of dust
Surrounded by stars
In vain, I do rust
At the thought of my existence–

in comparison to my surroundings
my hard work isn’t astounding
or significant at all;
my life–like dust–
is smaller than small.

what  is  love?
but games of tug
and war with self
on who to pelt
the cupid arrow
with, i narrow
down the candidates
and find
there's *nothing

and no  one
i sincerely like;
no to mistake with lust
which rustles with
my hormones
constantly.
basing on chemistry
i can't find a
soul who's harmony
will ever
understand me.
