I'm floating

A blanket of darkness cradles me
and warmth fills me to the brim.
An odd sensation snaps me to my senses
and I'm filled with an overwhelming feeling that something is awry
the once pleasant warmth shifts into an unbearable heat
as the darkness closes in on me until I'm suffocating
I can't think, I can't breathe

I'm falling

I twist and turn in the dark, flailing blindly
every inch of my body feels as though it's been set ablaze
raw panic floods my senses
I need to get out
I need to wake up

I open my eyes
and push him off of me.
Unconscious people don't want tea.
Cyndi Allens Dec 10
In the light of the moon, porcelain skin gleams,

Eyes beaded, features stitched, unmoving it seems.

Silent I stand, with no voice to share,

No heart to feel, in the puppeteer's lair.

Bright strings pull at my delicate limbs,

Twisting and turning, to my master's whims.

A captive of fate, a prisoner of will,

A soulless vessel, forever still.

In the symphony of shadows, I long to break free,

To find who I am, to find the real me.
My first poem here! I'm open to feedback as long as it's constructive.

does a lonely childhood **** a person?
maybe
if not, the way everyone else smells it on you does
there is something wrong with you
you are not whole
“where is your other half”
everyone asks you
and you just keep saying “i dunno, i dunno”
and they tell you to be grateful
because you never were hated as a kid
and maybe you weren’t but you are hated now for it
you do not know how to be a person because of it
and you can never say we were children together
because you were not children with anyone except for yourself
and you will bury your childhood alone
and you will bury your parents alone
and they keep telling you to be so so grateful that you never had to share anything
but this loneliness has you by the throat and
you would rather have someone who hated you than nobody at all
and you can never say we were children together / because you were not children with anyone except for yourself / but this loneliness has you by the throat / and you would rather have someone who hated you than nobody at all

Respectfully shut the **** up
No one ******* cares about you
You’re ******* ******* *** can’t even stay in a relationship for a week before THEY breakup with you
You’re always switching up, yet saying I’m fake


You’re trying to prove me wrong but all you do is tell lies
Tell me again, who is talented and worthless
When all you do is run your mouth, you’re remorseless
If I were you, I’d be joining the circus
But maybe to them, that would be a disservice?

Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about
I’ve changed
You don’t even acknowledge what you have done





SHUT THE **** UP YOU ******* ******* ***** THIS IS THE REASON WHY I BROKE UP WITH YOUR PERVERTED ***
YOURE THE REASON WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU
YOU ARE TRYING TO BE SO COOL FOR YOUR “SISTER”
YOURE ACTING LIKE YOU ARE SOOOOO COOL
YOURE ACTING LIKE ONE OF THE POPULAR KIDS
BRO IS JUST MAD BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT ME BACK
YOURE SO **** STUPID
I HAD TO GET YOU THROUGH A WHOLE CLASS
YOURE ACTING LIKE THE ******* ADULT WHEN IM THE MORE MATURE ONE
AT LEAST IM MAKING MONEY OFF OF OTHER PEOPLE INSTEAD OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS
AT LEAST I WASNT CAUGHT DOING A SUICIDE ATTEMPT
AT LEAST IM NOT ANNOYING TO THE POINT WHERE NO ONE WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH ME
******* IDIOT
YOU SAY YOURE NOT DEPRESSED ANYMORE BUT YOURE SURE ACTING LIKE AN ANGSTY TEEN
AT LEAST NOT EVERYONE CALLS ME A ****** OR A PIG
AT LEAST MY PARENTS LOVE ME

JUST THE **** UP FOR ONCE AND KYS
IM BEGGING YOU
THE WORLD WILL BE PEACEFUL IF YOU DID
just really angry because Jackson Hogue, my ex, decided to text in the group chat and it wants me to start punching the **** out of him. Also creds to LuluYam for some of the words because I put some lyrics in here if you didn’t tell. “Backstabber “ - LuLuYam. I know it’s not good to put his name out in the public, then wish to **** himself but I really don’t care. This is just a vent

As you see, you were here for me,
you made me who i am, but not for free
but what could be the cost be?

the nile flowed down your face when you found out,
so if you ask me what im thinking about i wont tell you or ill feel bad.

you gave me alot just so you could take it all back,
made me feel loved but why do i feel sad?

the kisses you give me are out of sympathy now,
you took it all out on me and let the wrong be free.

was it ever love ?
you drained me , mom.
i hope i get to be a ghost dove.
soon.

i love you mom, im sorry.

I can't focus on us anymore
it feels like a dream we once had
rather than a lifetime we worked on

You once made me feel precious,
invaluable,
loved.

Now I'm the fall back and safety net
you need to desire
before you hit the bottom of your bottle

I am miserable trying to hold the foundation alone.
I was looking for a life partner, not a freeloading liar.
You promised me change.

I was the fool who believed you and saw with my own eyes
you didn't touch a drop.
Now I'm left with the empty bottle in my hands,
searching for an escape from my isolation.
raw emotions from recent relationship in the middle of the break down.

I'm so ******* tired of overthinking
I'm so tired of everything
It isn't fair
Am I just a narcissist?
Am I someone that isn't interesting at all?
Please tell me
I'm trying to change myself to be more acceptable
What can I do
To please you?
I'M TRYING
PLEASE ACCEPT THAT

It is tiring when I have to listen to someone I dislike rant to me everyday
I'm tired of crying
I'm tired from school
I'm tired of drawing
I'm tired from crocheting
I'm tired of everything
Except writing my own thoughts
Emotions
Emotions I can't even detect well enough for my own sanity
Yet the strongest ones are stressed
And tired

I'm trying to adapt to other people
Like I'm an alien from another planet
Everything feels so new
Yet I feel so old
And rusty
I feel so weird
Disgusting
Grimy
I don't take care of my body well
I torture it
I hate my low self-esteem
I hate it so much
I wish I was carefree
Just like my sister
I know this might just be a phase in life
But it feels like a phase of hell

Chúa ơi...
Just release me already
From this hell
I'm begging you
An uncalled vent, but I invited it here because I needed it. I just need a long break.

I’ve got a few things I want to say,
A few thoughts rattling around in my brain,
And though it may seem impolite,
I’m going to give you a piece of my mind.

I know I haven’t been around a long time,
Just a decade and a half.
However, I’ve still learned a thing or two,
About this world filled with gaffes.

This world’s a scary place,
Full of scary people,
And if you’re not careful,
They’ll eat you alive,
Chew you up, and spit you out,
With no regard for your life or your health.
We’re dancing in a fire,
Of our own making,
As people continue whining and complaining.
We need saving,
Oh, how we need saving.

It’s ironic,
How our greatest foe is ourselves,
So much petty bickering,
Chastises the thinking,
Until we’re at a point where we can’t do anything.

Who can you trust?
Your neighbor could be just,
Or a sociopath,
Hiding behind a mask.
Is everyone a friend?
Or is everyone a foe?
Or is there more nuance?
How are we to know?
Till it’s too late,
And we’re beaten down,
Lost everything,
To a monster.

Highschool’s a mess,
No finesse,
Filled with stress,
And depression.
On a quest,
To reassess,
And to suppress,
All unnecessary emotions.
Don’t want to sound too forlorn,
But is it too much to ask to live in a world,
Where everyday doesn’t feel like a chore,
Just to push through?
So much strife,
All through life.
Is it right,
Or wrong?
When does life,
Become less about surviving,
And more about living,
In this crazy time?

Seven hours,
Seven different subjects,
Piled onto a developing mind.
Some unnecessary,
Others are vital,
Few are a waste of time.
While everyone discovers their niche,
A fight for survival,
Some parts are primal,
Survival of the fittest they say,
It’s a shame that not everyone makes it out,
To fight another day.

To quote one of my favorite songs,
By a man named Alec Benjamin,
Titled “Gotta Be A Reason.”
“There’s gotta be a reason that I’m here on Earth,
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt.
Oh, the changing of the seasons never changed my hurt.
So what’s it worth, what’s it worth?”
I believe that things happen for a reason,
Good or bad,
Then you have to question,
What the reason truly is?

This world’s a crazy place,
Full of crazy people,
And if you’re not careful,
They’ll eat you alive,
Chew you up, and spit you out,
With no regard for your life or your health.
We’re dancing in a fire,
Of our own making,
And no amount of raining,
Can drown out the whining and complaining.
We need saving,
Oh, how we need saving.

So there you go,
I opened up the vault,
And gave you a sample,
Of what’s inside my heart.
Take it as you’d like,
There’s not much more to say,
That’s just how I feel,
This specific day.
I have a feeling of dread,
As this year approaches its end.
2025.
By mid-March, I’ll be able to drive.
God, how time flies…

want to reach out

want to grow the sprout

so why is the weight of the phone a block of cement in my hand?

why do i feel like every word still wouldn’t make people understand?

want them to see through my lenses
want them all to come to their senses

how do i make you care the way that i feel will keep me above ground

i didn’t go through this to be your slutty little rebound

so hold my hand and kiss my softly

although the end of the receipt is quite costly
longest one i’ve done in awhile

your teeth were sharp
and mine were filed down
i let you gnaw away at me
although i would have let you go for the throat
tearing away from my flesh
my precious artery gushing like my broken heart
if only i had been delicious
maybe you'd still be lapping up my blood
nibbling on whatever's left of me
but apparently i wasnt satifactory
so you left behind my mangled remains
i was your *****
until i wasnt
i was your mutt
until i wasnt
until i was your meal
still stuck in your teeth
i hate him.
