This kindness?
I don't trust it
Like a purple sky
Before a storm
Beautiful; but
Do you realize
The birds are
Agitated and
The ants are
Marching in circles?
francine Dec 2019
Words often pour out of my mouth,
Nonsensical words.

In the back of my mind lies a deep depression
but words pour out of my mouth.

I say my depression is for no reason,
But here I am shaking

Hands,
Legs,
Thighs,
Eyes,
Shaking and I cant stop.

but words pour out of my mouth.
I can't stop, I can't stop

Stop!
Why are you always talking!
You drag your sentences on for no reason!
No one wants to hear about that!

But I need to,
I need to.
But I try,
I stop.

Then tears pour out of my eyes.
this poem is about my depression
Jamie King Jan 2015
Horses gone wild
stumping down hard
in my head
Canaries breaking
vocal cords just to
make me mad

my world of notions
tumbling,crumbling
it's a massive rock slide
in my cerebrum
Hack
my skull with axes so
I can feel the breeze
and set my mind free
My head was just on fire too much stress maybe a poet can get overwhelmed at times by emotions after all emotions makes us who we are
