two years
she plunges into frigid
waters.
do you remember
what they used to call us?

loved, maybe,
but only by those
who misunderstand it.

she waits
unshaven, unwashed,
exhausted
from her past,
for her future.
I'm currently offering readers a chance to read my upcoming poetry collection, Shy Anger. Send me a message if you are interested.

there’s this sick comfort in depression
the absence of feeling is welcoming compared to the constant rush of emotions
the quietness and stillness from all that nothingness
it’s different from peace, it’s the lack of joy

there’s a sick comfort in depression
it’s the warm bed you can’t feel, it’s the concerned faces you can’t care about
it’s the locked door you can’t open
It’s different from calmness, it’s the lack of a steady heart beat

the comfort in depression is real, it’s the lack of feeling, it’s something on fire isn’t dulled out but completely extinguished
It’s gone
It’s dark
It’s black

These emotions don't belong to me.

I'm tired.
I'm sad.
I'm disappointed.
I feel like a fool.
I'll keep on trying.
I'm jealous.
I'm breaking in silence.
I'll be waiting.
Even though my heart aches,
It's okay.
I still love you.
I always have.
I always will.
I hope you still love me too.

Heart was surrounded by agony
She cried in pain in front of Mind,
Brutally injured by his knife like thoughts.
And Mind being a sadist
did not stop!
But... what did she ask for?
She just wanted to experience a peaceful sleep
that was lost years ago...
She was tired...

me
im tired of failing people,
so exhausted in causing trouble
so i wonder and think continually
am i of value really?

im tired of being a disappointment
so full of regrets and resentment
how i wish im such importance
atleast just once
me - the 1975
Struggle awake, restless eyes.
Arms begin to shake, fix on my disguise.
Walk beneath my toes, legs attempt to fall.
Tired of thinking If anyone really knows, giving up on it all.
Talk though half spoken words, treat your ears to all my lies. Seems as if everyone is sharpening their swords, even still laughter flies. Exhausted from being, wanting to fade away. Questioning what I'm feeling, before what I'm feeling sways. Engulfed by my bed, left to be forgotten.
Except for the voices in my head, because in the inside I'm rotten. Close my eyes for the final time, my tune has chimed for my
sleepless eternity

I'm drained;
I'm empty;
I'm going crazy;
I want to rest.

I am tired
I am young in my bones
And empty in my heart
My mind feels hungry
But my head feels broken

I don’t belong here
The future seems scheduled
And my life on repeat
The days feel empty
Nothing has meaning

I wish I was old
To see the bigger picture
live in the past when it had meaning
To miss the things I took for granted
But mostly to forget this world
A world filled with nothing
This poem is about life today. Where young people are pressured by a cruel and uncaring world. A world that destroys some young minds and empties their hearts , at a young age. That they wish they could be like their elders who finally understands life and the confusion of it all.

Worn out. No gas, no flame.
No shimmer, no shine.
I, another dying star in the jet black sky.
