#brief poems on Hello Poetry

Rhiannon Grace Jul 2014

I was born
I was happy
I started school
I made friends
New school
No friends - lonely
Change school again
Found old friends - happy again
Mother dies - sad
Depression settles in
World spins
Self harm starts
World stops
Self hate grows
Eating disorder
Self harm worsens
People worry
I give up trying
Convinced to try again
Determined to right my wrongs
Start university
No friends - lonely
Self harm comes back
Eating disorder returns
Ready to give up again
Wrote poem

My life so far.....

Deaf Death

Music is the air
And listening ears my heart.
If I'm deaf, I'm dead.

Brief unconsciousness

An alarm sounds from a metal box within my bed,
10 A.M - I briefly awake until I realized what I'd dreamt,
Closing my eyes quicker than I'd opened them,
I'm with you again,
an afternoon in reality is not worth your absence,
Everyday this happens, and everyday I'm happy,
Briefly.

Fantasy

The sun drips away
You hold my hand
I want you to stay
But I know you can't

We kiss one last time
And hold each other more
Here you are forever mine
Our love we can explore

Then you go and fade
I cannot bring you back
This was never made
Or ever meant to last

(optional)

I have no...
(self-boundaries)
...means of changing.

It's not my fault, I...
(place blame)
...didn't mean to lie.

Why should I try, I will...
(believe in nothing)
...eventually die.

All the underground people...
(your ancestors and mine)

...Do they remember
Being alive?

Brief Encounters (Acrostic)

Distinguished by endearments,
a young man is on the rise.

Exploring the lands' curves,
he peers out behind blue eyes.

Venturing along his path,
his inner light shines intensely.

Observation has revealed,
he will give to others immensely.

Noticed by many, for there are,
so few that remain.

For a new friend; Devon.
