the sadness

another sleepless night
4am comes strolling around
i toss in turn bundled in the sheets
how does one sleep with a mind that races like engine.
thoughts go dashing through without hesitance.
thoughts that break apart every aspect of me.
constantly i am reminded of what i am not,
what i could be, what i will never be, and all that is wrong with me.
i cannot stop the whirling inside my mind.
i sit up, i think positive
but the negativity falls down on me like a heaviest thunderstorm
my thoughts, my feelings break me down  
my insides come tumbling day in day out.
i cannot put the sadness into words,
it takes a hold of me, pulls me under its vicious waves,
i come crashing down.
it drowns me until nothing is left,
it tortures me until i am rotten to my core.
the sadness never leaves for long, its with in my roots.
the sadness fills my mind
my head becomes a violent dust storm
gusts of thoughts whirring from every direction.
i am overwhelmed by my own feelings,
I am overthrown by the sadness in my soul.
I pull apart every little thing, letting the smallest things get to me.
insecurities get the best of me, sad thoughts consume me.
happiness abandons me, it never lasts.
i don't recall the last time i was genuinely happy.
sadness is all i know.
the sadness rips me apart and peels my every layer
until it makes its way into my walls
cemented inside of me forever

It's funny to think
that I try to make you sound
beautiful with words.

Just the attempt in
itself is ridiculous.
I must be crazy.

Nothing could compare
to the beauty you possess.
Extraordinary.

Your eyes shine with joy.
I can see your soul through their
bright, brown brilliance.

Your long, dark hair flows
smoothly down your tiny back.
Your fingers twirl through.

Your radiant smile
sends shivers down my backbone.
I need you with me.

I think I'm crazy
because I still try to put
your beauty in words.

I can't make art out
of a masterpiece. It is
madness to attempt.

Don't lie down
Not right now
Not in the snow
Because it will eat
You

It will make you dream
And show you possibilities
Of
Death

But we still have ways to go,
So get up..
Inspiration from the book "Night" by Elie Weisel

bruised and broken
lying on peach colored sheets
the sunlight shining in illuminating her face
she felt at peace
and she felt as if the whole world was crashing
down
on her

she wondered how these feelings
could both manifest inside her at the same time
and she thought that if she felt like this forever
it would be painful
like an unrequited love
or an undeserving heartbreak

she didn't figure anything out
about herself
her feelings
or her life
so she's stuck in a limbo
between okay
and insane
not sure if I'm happy with this poem..

Music pulls me into its arms,
made a bed for me in this sea of white noise

and for some reason,
it makes sense to sing about crying too
loud or unpacking suitcases or
open windows or
a spider’s web when you are as sad as I am.

It comes and it goes
as saltine waves or a heartbeat or drumming.

I wait for the day when I will become
a mermaid, able to breathe
underwater everything I have ever felt.

Tonight my body does not want to sleep, but
drown in a song of existence.

She floods my ears
through removing lesser known parts of me.
