#rightnow poems on Hello Poetry

louella Jan 28

i never liked myself.
barely picking
myself
off the shower floor.
now there’s a storm
and it’s within me—
a dull buzzing
of a radiator
and a quiet alarm
singing its apocalyptic peace.

i dislike who i am around others. some people are so kind and i don’t feel like i deserve it. for some reason, i find it so difficult to talk to people. i make my own ending.

Right now

Right now someone crying
Right now someone laughing
Right now someone sad
Right now someone happy
Right now someone dieing
Right now someone giving birth
Right now someone homeless
Right now someone working
Right now someone hungry
Right now someone eating
Right now someone sleeping
Right now someone a wake
Right now someone dealt
Right now someone on the phone
Right now someone driving
Right now someone losing time
Right now someone making memories
Right now someone lonely
Right now someone celebrate a birthday
Right now someone thinking
Right now someone talking
Right now someone...

right now

right now,
i could be singing my soul out into the wind
and one little drop of rain
could shut my mouth and reduce me to ashes

right now,
my life is so very fragile.
it takes so much to make me happy,
and so little to tear me down completely.

I'm Searching for You

Do you know what path you seek?
I know not what I want, not what I dream.
But still all I see is an open road –
taking me back, taking me home.

Trees are green and skies are blue,
I have a feeling I’m searching for you.
In this life or the next and the last,
all I can think of is your whispered laugh.

So deep in the forest where the birds all sing,
let’s make a house of branches and leaves.
Away from the city, away from the noise,
comforted only by each other’s voice.

What more could I ask?
What more could I need?
Love is far more important to me.
Leave all your worries, leave all your doubts.

Together right here, together right now.

I used to sing the second to last verse to my sister when she was upset and would go hide behind a tree in the backyard. She's a cutie.

Right Here; Right Now

Right Here
Right Now

I'm still here thinking
..Still here drinking
Trying to drown away my pain
With literally nothing left to gain

Right Here
Right Now

I'm still sitting here
Still sippin' my beer
Wondering when I get to hold you
Wondering when I get to be happy too..

Right Here
Right Now

I'm still here
Wondering when I can go there
My skin i'm still pinching
Wondering can I be the one lynching..

Because
Right Here
Right Now

I. Want. To. Die.

If you understand, i'm sorry. Stay strong friend. You're not a nobody, you're a somebody to somebody.

Mask

I would pretend not to care, because it kept you right here.
But now i know, that action is sad. Wearing a mask of ignorance, that blinds all i see. Deafen myself to the world around me. A shattered up heart, ripping apart, with every trail of light that passes the mark. Rip off the mask and now i can see, just how toxic the world, and you, are to me.

Mask your feeling, she doesn't care

Hide all your wounds, pretend your not there.

also, as well.

I am
listening to Save Feris.
I am
drinking wine from a Frappechino bottle.
Said wine,
is called Carnivor.
Heavy,
Biting,
Cheap.
I am
dressed in army pants
and my older brothers chopped up
childhood HD sweater.

Black leather boots, tight.
Pants bloused above.

I
did laundry today.

I cleaned the kitchen

and did the dishes.

I did the shopping
and
took out the trash....

It is winter
and it has finally snowed,
bitter cold.

Been mild so far.

Been,

tense

so far.

Healing
and

moving
Healing
and

moving

I dress for my battles.

I dress for chicago.

prepare for......
everthing.

Right Now

I've said forever an infinite amount of times before
so I won't

So I'll simply say I would give all of my forever
for Right Now
with You

All of my
Right Nows

Because

Right Now
is when
I need You

And I can't seem
to see
past this
Right Now

I find it hard to believe
that there will ever
exist a
Right Now
where I won't want
You to Be

Living in
This Moment

And The Moment
tastes like a wine that is
Done aging and demands to
Be swallowed

Right Now
I'm drunk off of
Your eyelashes

Right Now
my blood is diluted
with
want of You

Right Now
I'm living in a
world of You

All
of my
Right Now
is saturated
in Your voice
echoing through
the memory caves
of my ear

Right Now
You
Are
tangibly absent

Right Now
my room is the
outerspace atmosphere
devoid of any signs of
You

Right Now
words on a
screen
act as a tube of oxygen
keeping my needy lungs
at bay

Right Now
the bags under
my eyes
build with need of
restful You

Right Now
You
Are
The Only Thing
that exists

And
Right Now
I
Am

Terrified.

I can't seem to get around you.
