i am rich now
see dog squirrel and rabbit
huddled together
Daisy Ashcroft Nov 2020
You'd think by now
I'd have learned
Not to think
And I swear
I try
But sometimes in
Moments when you
LOOK AT
ME
Like I'M
A PERSON
There's no way to
Stop
Me from coming alive
AGAIN
Read the capitalised words again.
Sarah Flynn Nov 2020
someone asked,

“how can you be
so happy,

but still write poetry
like depression
is all you know?”




did it ever occur to you
that maybe

I’m only happy because
I took that depression
out on this paper,

instead of taking it
out on myself?

i traverse life now
keeping precious mind busy
between cigarettes
MJ Nov 2020
Now
we're fading like the bite marks
i left on your skin

and we're as false as the fibs
you quickly caught me in

in this life here now
there is something called a mind
we all share the one
Nylee Nov 2020
Day by day
everything is the same
but everything has changed
In a flick of time
everything is translated
A year turning into
a new lifestyle
everything is changing
I can't see it now.
Mark Wanless Nov 2020
you changed all that was
we built here now together
and this is just love

He’s ash now.
He played with ash back then.
He’s dirt.
He was dirt back then.
He snatched their slums
and their palaces
But now he can’t live in either.
He pumped out dirt
into the river back then.
He’s going back
to the river now.
