They're eating me alive
It's eating me
It's driving me crazy
It's 5:30 in the morning
I haven't slept
It's killing me
I don't think I might be able to overcome it
But I'm not brave enough
To pull the trigger
Dina Zivkovic Sep 2015
when insomnia strikes, I try to hide
it shows streams of restraint that need hiding...

it. I.  me. do. The. Beginning.

I don't think I really know.
I just wanted to be left
alone.

do it for the cause.
do it for those who can't
make it look effortless
and do it without a pause.
it can't be done overnight

but remember that you have to go through this week without being right.

Forcing rhyme won't help you this time... oh well, here it is...

can't say I didn't try...
I tried...

It is difficult to heave through lungs that are heavy and being held down by the words I can never find the courage to speak to you. I want so badly to scream out my burdens that you never cared to hear. You avoided them, causing my hands to shake and head to pound. I was weak compared to the control you had over me. When I spoke out to you, I was immediately filled with regret. Throat burning like I'd just downed six shots of *****, wishing I actually had instead of saying what would never matter to you, or even cross your mind even once when you left me. You were so good at lying and making me feel as though I was delusional, seeing things that never occurred. But now I know that you were a liar and I was just vulnerable. Now I realize that I don't need your so called "love". I don't need your lies to feel good, I only need myself and that's good enough for me.

Those lips that has touched mine whenever i'm not feeling fine
Those hands that pulled me up when i'm down and my face in a frown
Those muscular arms that lift my wary thoughts
Your mouth that has chanted a million "I love yous"
Your eyes that reflect your pretty soul
Your ears that never get tired hearing my every fears

I wonder where you went
I'm all alone now and I just can't
I'm half a heart without you
It just feels so blue

I can no longer find you

You left me feeling drastic
My heart went tragic
You vanished like magic

Please tell me you'll come back
and carry me again along your back
Cause I really miss every part of you
Your'e the missing piece I lack

It was unexpected
But I was so enchanted
by your charm
I was convinced that you mean no harm
Yet every time you think about her
My heart, you shatter
Elizabeth Fruin Mar 2015
If this is delusional then I never want to see reality
I'd rather be insane and live out our small infinity


Where we are who we are despite the outsiders
Where we can live life and survive like fighters


And no matter what you are to all those others
I will always see passed your facade of colours

We can stray along a thread of free impossibility
Or dangle from the rooftops of a towering city

Miss Elliot is not just a single mom

Miss Elliot is not just white trash

Because Miss Elliot must stay calm

In the lunchroom, though she grins wide, she’ll crash


In the West End High lunchroom peak hour

Miss Elliot, our warrior stands strong

"You ugly white trash," they scream at the door

But she keeps quiet, she won't yell you're wrong


At home, she has a little one to watch

She packs her bag, cleans off her recipe

She claws in her mind for hope hard to catch

As she quietly gives us a whisper



"So what will it be

Chris, Molly, Rudy?"
Call this my debut on Hello Poetry. I hope you like it.

Things that meant the world to me
Never meant a single thing to you
Wasted three years
Now I'll be wasted come 3 'o clock
Climbed over mountains
Trekked through the bitter coldness
Of a soul that was insane
All for you
And my misplaced love
That never was
Only a figment of my imagination
