you leave your home
because of oppression
and in your new country
you flourish, doing well in this life

generations on
they have forgotten your struggles
as they learned hate
they have forgotten their origins
as they learned what it is
to be the xenophobe
to be the oppressor

to see your triumphs tarnished

you begotten fortunates
taking all you have for granted
slanted views, courtesy of that you've been taught
so some say it isn't your fault
but we know better, eh?
all your wealth could not stuff the gaping maw
that your soul cries out to fill
and so this is what you reap
when seeds of suffering do you sow

LOOK AT NIGHTFALL
TRANQUILITY OF THINGS FILLS ME WITH INDIGNATION
SOMETHING VERY BITTER IN THE AIR I BREATHE
MY SOUL SUFFERS
BOREDOM, ANXIETY PREVENTS ME FROM CONTINUING ANITHING
DESPAIR, I DON'T LIKE YOU VERY MUCH
YOU DON'T FIT EITHER MY CLOTHES OR MY COFFEE
WHY ARE YOU STAYING HERE SO BIG AND CONTROLLING ?
IT'S A REALLY HORRIBLE DOUBLE LIFE
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANOTHER WAY OUT
NOTHING BUT MADNESS
Tess M Mar 2021
the smoke in my lungs,
tears in my eyes,
he is the break in my heart
I am suffocating;

Time.

he squeezes,
he grips,
demands, limits,
leaves no survivors;

Time.
Andrej Barovic Mar 2021
Again, woefully awoken
In this bed, with heart broken
A fading love has left a token
That lies heavy on the soul
And of it, I am the source
Curs'd with sadness and remorse
Starring glaringly into the walls
Reminiscing the times of old
I cannot help but weep
To into love’s madness slip
Pray God to let me her keep
Thinking: "Son thou thy love hast sold."
Entrap’d within that thought
I like any other would’ve ought
Say: "Th’ final battle is to be fought
On the heav'nly fields of gold"
And on those fields gleaming
Stands she brightly seeming
And as the stars godly beaming
Divine light upon my stones
Though there be nought but night
Perpetual and of devilish might
And only a daemon in my sight
"‘Tis all but fantasy," I am told
A lying wretch I cry out
And find myself in endless drought
Stuck inside a world of doubt
Was there truly a time before?
Is my mind too far astray
Have I truly lost my way?
Will, I ever again see the day
Where her lips I can behold?

They say life is short.
Then why does it also seem like the longest thing ever?
"Depression notes"
Also perhaps a small vent to let out this hopelessness I have had lately.

Hang in there everyone.

Raven Blue Mar 2021
Whispers in the air;
Crying in fears;
Dark crimson's tears;
All along these years.

to not find love?
or to find but can't have?
worst is to suffer both stages
Deep Mar 2021
Whom do I love?
You
or the suffering you bring?
Megan Mar 2021
Your pool of innocence, gets me
I wish I could say mine remains
But
I am broken
Pieces
Hide away the remaining
Pieces
For they are broken and meaningless
Suffering ends now.
