Meaningless noise finds my ears
swimming words
Images flying
Eyes crying
I hold tight to my wrists
Clutch my head
My ears too
Let my voice whisper
"Stop, please."
As the thoughts and memories
Travel into my mind
They double down
Scream them away in my head
People watch
As my eyes go wide, and my head spins
Cover my eyes
As the tears fall one by one
Such dutiful soldiers
People advert they're eyes, in respect
and I fall apart

Traffic
Does anyone like it?
Everyone runs
Into some

From time to time
Overwhelming it typically is
If you were a lone passenger...
If you are lucky enough to have companions
They can help you feel calmer
As long as you do not scare them...
There is no shame in asking for help

If you ever find your highway,
Clouded with traffic
To face it alone
Would be tragic
Having friends or someone to talk to
Can be almost magic
Ask them to guide you
Through the traffic
Amanda Kay Burke Dec 2019
Tired enough to give up
I've learned there's no escape
Under the water drowning
Accepting that suffocation is fate

From this overwhelming fear I've run
Unrequited desire to be free
Is what meant to happen already past?
The thing chasing is inside of me

My destiny cannot be evaded
I realize now it is too late
The darkness made home within my bones
Now the demons decide my fate
Feeling some type of way
FML
I have so much to do
yet so little time
not a penny to spend
but there's so much I need to buy
not a dollar in my pocket
and my gas light's on
I need more money
but I work, a minimum wage job
I'm behind in my online class
and can't seem to get it done
I told my mom I've submitted more assignments
when I've only half-completed some
I just failed government
a course I'm required to pass
I might not get to graduate
when all I want to do, is leave high school in the past
I just want to be happy
but lately, even breathing is hard
I need a drink and joint
and I'm still too young for the bar
the stress is like cancer
slowly taking my life away
these days, I don't even sleep
because the anxiety keeps me awake
this is a poem that uses what are called "near rhymes"

Fix
Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting


just one more line....
that's all you'll need
one line will be enough...
and then one more

one more


four more




six more



do it on your leg so they can be bigger

just.... cut.....
Over and over



OVER AND OVER

and the blood just sits there

and i stare back at it

all over my wrist

drawing on my thigh

it stings.....


but i can think
i can breathe
i felt it
my satisfaction
got my fix




but i know next time

i'll require a bit more
18.... 18 red lines...

If this is love
I want no part in it
The jealousy
The heartache
It's overwhelming
Stop
I don't want it
It fuels me with rage
Why am I so upset?
You're not even mine
Liz Carlson Sep 2019
sometimes it's all a bit too much
this world spins so fast
i can't keep up with the rush
they say it'll all be a blast

but all i feel is the weight on my chest
maybe this life is all but a big test
see who can survive all the trials
even if there are no more smiles.

I questions myself do I still really love you
Or it's just my attraction on you,
Or it's just my addiction of you,
Or it's just my aesthetically love on you.
That overflown through out my heart
Maybe it's kinda hard to ask himself
When everything's being ok
but next we'd fallen apart
I think I'm fool all around
But don't you think, I won't abound
I'm ****** up with my own life...

I heard that you're busy with someone.
I saw you in another's root
I saw you're in another arm's
Long rides on bike.
This things you did to hide the truth
crews on you, I heard of you
Twice I'd forgotten cuz I believed on you
But again you did the same.
This things makes me sense of looser,
What I say next?
cuz you don't have a time
To understand my feelings
How far i believed on you
How far I loved you...  
Love makes us on Expectations
You'll do something for me
Of what i need.
aren't you have a time
To rang my phone...
But you aren't?
I do all the things for you,
But did you ever thought for me
Yet, This **** hasn't flies to you...

To whom may I believe ?
Should I wait up for your next call ?
I can't escape my feelings it's true!
there's you right next to me...
Cuz I wanna be with you
I don't wanna remembering of you
But this **** feelings supposed me to do.
It's has been well said
In such a cruel world,
there's no one to believe on them too.
You put a smile on my anger
You're looking up for me I'll  back
I'm ashamed of being sorry everytime
I'm tired of looking myself on it.
I left you to your own way
I don't face it until it's overwhelming response
Go get your life,you're free of cage

Preparing dinner
Tying a knot
Swallowing medicine
Running a bath
Driving a car

Tools to live with
Tools to take life with
I want to block out the difference

I want to pour
the overwhelming amount of
love
out of my heart
as a
sticky, pure red liquid
and use it as an ink
to write a love poem
as an attempt to
describe what I feel
for you.
you are making me feel things I've never felt before.
