cheap liquor, good drugs.
burns through her cash.

blue eyes turn grey,
deep seas now ash.

stranded on shore;
nowhere to swim.

beautifully drained:
soft, rotting skin.

laying on the sand,
of an hourglass.

watching, waiting,
for day to pass.

her insides crumble.
her unbearable pain.

her lack of reason,
to ever change.

and if she had the chance,
she'd do it all again.

Wounded by many
Filled with flaws

Yet I try to reach expectations,
Just to hear the applause


Lost myself,
Turning this smile plastic

But they say 'don't stop',
Even if it is toxic


For everyone's satisfaction
The key is to sacrifice

And just ignore how much
This heart cries


Worked so hard
But you want more,

You never find raising these levels
A bore

Yet I have to learn how to shine
The dream to become
The "Perfect" Kind

My poetry are not of
Literary greatness
They are
Not to ponder
Not to memorize
May be
Even
Not to read twice

They are
To touch
To smell
To taste
To feel

So that
One can find
The real essence
Effortless
Genre: Experimental
Theme: Relatable

have you ever been bored?
and just look at the sky?
have you ever been bored?
and asked yourself why?

have you ever beed bored?
and should you ever even try?
have you ever been bored?
and were to tired to cry?

have you ever been bored?
and done something weird?
have you ever been bored?
and try to grow a beard?

if you've ever been bored,
you know its a pain.
if youve ever been bored
you know it comes from the brain.

i've been bored,
how about you?
cuz if you've been bored.
i have too.
if you can guess i was bored when i wrote this and this is one of my better poems.

the walls
rotting
halls
empty
I am stuck
in the place
I can relate to the most
this house doesn't get much bigger

A fancy tuxedo and a black leather glove for each hand, could this be Patrick Bateman? or punk in a band?
no, it's Digital Man.
Yes a real man, with a screen head of course, would you look at him this strangely if he was a horse?.
He just goes about his day, and people judge and take pictures of him in each and every way.
He just wants to be treated like everyone else, and not put on display like some little mouse.
Why is society so blind and judgemental and cannot see, that I'm just like him and he's just like me?
