Scars

Scars
are mars
and bars
from my bizarre
memoirs.

#alliteration

Slipping

I lost my grip again
The cut-rate pirate promised prose and protection from the maniac
Matters to me not never
I SCREAM!
This tattered trailer tailored to the times forever forgotten
Freaking out, falling again
This echo echoes. Intensity. Intergalatic.
Spacially challenged to challenge spaces in between
This gap, I grasp, at grapes, grown guilty
In soft soil
That pirate Bill wrote me into his will after taking his pill
He said in final words "I'm slipping"
I slipped again
This time the fall fractured fragile fasteners binding me. I'm fragile
As fermentation fixes my faulty circuits
Crickets, chirp chirp chirp
As she says "Take your pills"
As I scream
I'M SLIPPING

This poem is a play on word/phrase palindromes, alliteration, and mid-stanza rhyme schemes. I think everyone has been to a point where they just want to ***** a series of words to make themselves feel better. I hope everyone else that suffers from mental health challenges appreciates this poem and finds an outlet that suits their individual needs and desire to let some of those inner thoughts free

Baby Blues

I never not ache like this
The back of my mind is
Ringing like a church bell
The somber sound of
A drizzling day's funeral

I need to find some more music.

Shadow Feb 2020

uninvited

Shifting shades that lack precision,
eye evading, vaporous vision,
fleeting flickers underexpose
ghostly glimpses that discompose.

Shadows speak in trembling tones,
mumbled murmurs, cackling crones,
bated breath while overcoming
stifled screams but not succumbing.

Befrozen blood stills hammering heart,
senses separate, perceptions part,
lost lucidity brings indecision
face or flee this spectrovision.

Shuddering skin turns pearlest pale,
hairs horripilate, portents prevail,
cold creeps craze a mind affrighted
spooky spectres come uninvited

Sentences seem stupid

Sad
Shattered
Self
Sees
Something
So
Simply
Small

Seeking
Someone
Simply
Safe

Scarred
Seconds
Says
Sabotage
Saves

So
Sane
Senses
Sail
Scribbled
Seas

This may not make sense to you but it makes perfect sense to me
