I woke up one day
And my arms disappeared
I could still feel them
But no one asked,
“Where are your arms?”
The next day
My legs disappeared
I could still carry myself
But no one asked,
“Where are your legs?”
Then my torso
Then my head
I could still feel myself there
But no one asked
Because by then
No one could see me at all.

I’m decaying
I’m rotting
I’m trapped
In a cage
In my own head
My thoughts consuming me
Eating me alive
I’m covered in bugs
That eat my flesh
And my brain
The walls grow mold
Around every memory
Spreading through the corners
I tried to keep clean
I can feel myself fading
Like old flowers
Forgotten in a room
No one opens anymore
Everything inside me
Feels left behind
Like fruit left out too long
Like a house abandoned
Slowly collecting dust
I think I’ve been rotting
For longer than I noticed
Because things don’t fall apart
All at once
Sometimes they disappear
Piece by piece
Quietly
Until one day
You look in the mirror
And wonder
When the colors left.

Come now, come and see; she's the one you've been looking for!
She feels it all: the fear, the weight, the love, the pressure.
She radiates beyond that of, any one person can take hold.
The resentment, the tears, the gut wrenching.
They BEG to see more.
Unfiltered, de-masked, but she must stay in her box!
Feel less.
Why don't you have anything left to give?
Are you not satisfied with this attention? Selfish.
Can't you breathe with your wings folded tight?
Look at her- Look!
Isn't it marvelous when contained?
Let me lean on her.
She shines so bright in the most absurd of circumstances.
You MUST perform for the masses!
See! Don't you see? Incredible-
to see how it pours out of it's everything for you.
Can't you love her yet?
Is she still not enough?

Black sadness in my life,
Questions creeping.
I strangle goodness.
Save me from loss,
I want consciousness.
A mask so heavy
Only a fire can destroy it.
But like scars it stays
Tightening my chest, lungs, heart
Leaving me gasping
For bitter air.
Voices quiet,
Comfort encaged,
Happiness gone.
Make it go away.

They babble
In phrases I don't understand
Here I sit
like a clown
again.

Choose peace choose forget
Life full of vicissitudes
Ephemeral being life at the same
Numerous changes on the way
Ignore the negativity ignore the pain
Choose peace choose forget
Choose to be free
Come out from the past
Never think about it , ended overthinking you
Never argue with them,wipe out the grudge
Let it be over ,leave for peace
Choose peace choose forget

The spectres of the past
That haunt me
Causing me extreme pain that
I feel I can not handle
At the moment
But I know I
Will oust these ghosts
From my life
Not the other way around

As I walk around
I see that there in
A crack of cement
Is a plant growing
As I find that the plant is struggling
I water it
And help it grow
Soon there are buds on the plant
A flower
It’s a poppy
Doing the impossible

Yes I am goth
That doesn't makes me
The big-bad wolf
I am just trying
To live like everyone
Else
Despite my scary
Clothing and make-up
It's just that clothing
And makeup as well
Music ; it does not
Have baring
On how I act

In times long past, the builder made
a forest temple in the shade
of tall oaks, maples, locusts fair,
each carved stone an unspoken prayer.
There amongst the autumn whispertrees,
I open the old temple gate with ease
and hear the trees sing psalms of solace,
to partake in this painted place’s promise.
To tarry here with trees well dressed
is where I my newfound faith confess,
communing with colors in tailored hues
and with the sacred scent of life imbued.

Why am I tired all the time? The fact is I am not. I only sleep all the time to escape. Escape the world, to escape the truth. The truth that I'm slowly rotting away and on one seems to care. The truth is I am in constant never ending pain.the truth that I am weak and shy. The truth that no one wants me. The truth that I am nothing but a waste of space. The truth that no matter how hard I try I will never be good enough. I will never be someone's first choice or even their second. I will never compare to any of the girls my age.the truth that I have to bury how I don't upset those around me. But when I close my eyes I am transformed into a new world. A world where I am the main character. Where I am beautiful and everyone loves me. Where I am strong and powerful; where people fear me. Where I soar above thing that once weighted me down like boulders. I am happy and the pain that consumes me disappeared. where I no longer want to my suffering. Where I am at peace ad everything is quiet for once. But I always open my eyes and I am reminded that none of it is real. And I will always be a shattered pain of glass that can never be fixed. So I'm not tired; sleeping is just my only escape. Sleeping is my drug that I will aduse hoping it kills me.

I want to say thank you now
for every poet here
who dares to use their voice
in prose
to face their deepest inner fear
that we alone are not enough when that is just a bald faced lie
cuz we were born just perfectly the truth
and we will be more so when
eventually we die
we just forget this incoveinent truth
because
they
clipped our wings to stop our fly
embedded in deep messages
and told to us as wicked lie
and when I think about this now
it really makes me shrug & sigh
and every now and then ya know
it overwhelms
and then my spirit has enough to cry
****
deeper sigh....
I believe,
we hear a voice of broken generations
we hear deep within our mind
and that voice it could be one or many
and man that thing can be so ******* mean unkind
but we can unlearn deprogram change
and what you think inside we'll find?
EVERYTHING.
