#slipping
I'm slipping
Slowly I slip a little more
My grip is getting weaker
I am hanging on by a thread
I try to muster up enough strength to grip the rope again
I feel the pain again
I scream to the top of my lungs and yell I'm tired of fighting this fight I am over this I'm literally hanging on by a thread
With a lot of sweat and tears I feel like I am on a never ending rollercoaster I cry
It's like I am trying to climb a mountain but I can't climb all the way to the top
It's a never ending roller coaster something seems to always happen to me I cry
I wonder why?
They say that the grass is greener on the other side
I can no longer hold on to this thread as tears mixed with sweat stream down my face
Ok It's time I let go of this rope my fingers are numb and cramped and slowly I swim to the other

thoughts
slipping down my face
like strawberry sorbet in the summer heat
thoughts
sticky on my hands
lemon and lime
sour and sweet
all the paper in the world wouldn't be able to stop it from
slipping
off my tongue
just more words i will learn to regret later
maybe if i learned to keep my mouth shut
thoughts
again, torturing me
i barely have enough time to write them down
before they go slipping away again
like summer
like peach sorbet
i can taste them now
the flavors
i can feel it
the wooden boardwalk beneath my feet
the sand in my hair
i can see it
the ocean
but when i look out my window
all i see are trees
wet from the monsoon that hit us all so suddenly
thoughts
don't need punctuation
or capital letters
they just need empty paper
and a dull pencil
sorbet
doesn't need punctuation
doesn't even need summer
though, it is better when the sun is beating down
and the asphalt is hot enough to burn our bare feet
thoughts
killing me slowly
because overthinking is better than overeating
and i'm so scared that they will all leave me
especially her
she scares me
because there isn't a thing i can do
if she decides i am no longer worth her time
thoughts
sweet
sour
sticky
slipping
just like sorbet
what can you do
when the world feels like
it's slipping through your fingers
melting like sorbet under the hot summer sun

My blood is rebel red,
So if I bleed,
They can't keep me down.
I stay strong,
Running till I see the sun.
Back against a cliff,
This isn't the time to slip.

Melting, dissonance, encroaching, Vaporous, unknowing, Slipping through time, now approaching, A melody of words, flowing.
In the haze of twilight's breath, Moments blend, dissolve, and fade, Unseen whispers, silent death, In the shadows, light is made.
Vapor trails of thoughts unspoken, Echoes of a distant chime, Fragments of a dream, unbroken, Dancing on the edge of time.
Understanding without knowing, In the | stillness, truth is found, A symphony of life, bestowing, Harmony in chaos bound.

The restrictions upon my self
worth, never the right, write,
wording, metaphor
of what I wish to show you, u, me.
That even though I don't cry or
scream, I'm swaying
every sentence I write, right to
the point that there was never
a chair to hold words.
Instead, I bleed my word, pain
with every stanza that collected
beneath holding me up.
Until I wrote so much that there
wasn't just air beneath me but solid
meaning wanting to
hold me higher than that which
may make me fall...

i can see you slipping,
slowly but surely,
you don't ask for help,
don't see how it can be made better,
i try to help,
but really what can i do other than
love and pray for you.
my dear,
it hurts to watch you slowly drown,
rushing through life,
undergoing the pressure.
im scared for what will happen to you,
im scared we will drift apart,
never to be drawn close again,
im scared you'll go too far.
every conversation feels timed,
like every word has to be perfectly chosen.
i don't want to burden you if i need something
or if something is on my mind.
i want to help you the best i can,
but its exhausting for me too to see you keep
struggling and none of my efforts or prayers seeming
to amount to anything.
i know i ought to keep up the hope,
God will provide for you
and teach you something in the process,
its just hard to watch the one i love the most
slipping away and feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

Hold tight. White knuckles.
Buttered hands, oiled pole.
Stand strong. Tall, proud.
Shaky podium, slippy shoes.
Stay sane. Fake smile.
Maniacs room, door ajar.

Time is an unusual concept
Perspective I have yet to understand
Current washing us clean of everything
Seconds slipping through fingers like grains of sand

I am sorry for ways I've treated you bad
It was myself
Not you
Making me mad
Over my rage have no control
You suffer unfairly for the darkness in my soul
I do not mean to take out my insecurity
On anyone else
It can be too much for me
Sometimes I am bothered to the point where I snap
In black and blues paint on my thighs a detailed map
So everyone sees how I got to where I am
Somewhere between point A and point B stopped giving a ****
On my flesh insanity artistically explained
Story written myself not in shades of ink
But pain
Come closer so maybe you read and undestand
My efforts did not work out as planned
I do not have what it takes to improve
Instead of striving I hardly move
Trying to make your problems less difficult than they are
Another layer to the puzzle already too hard
I do my best
Hold my tongue instead of cuss and yell
No words could convey why being with you is hell
I do not get my irrational emotions either
I try to calm myself
You won't let me take a breather
Because you are convinced I will do my health harm
Do it for me accidentally with restraining arms
I vainly attempt to maintain my composure
You start flinching and it's all over
If you say I am crazy
Crazy is what you'll get
How you speak about me makes me upset
When I work my *** off
Be perfect and chill
Make me out to be a psychopath still
Your idea of me clearly set in stone
You only are with me because you fear being alone
I am writing my thoughts as if it will matter
You won't read between lines scattered
It is easier for you to act as if it's all in my head
I have no reason to ache and should be satisfied instead
You may be right about mental state and such
I only flip out because I care way too much
You cannot create more passion than you actually feel
Quit deceiving both of us and for once be REAL
Your love for me the only thing of which I have no doubt
It is all the other ******** I am unsure about
If I am your best friend won't you confide?
Closeness we used to share must have died
Or maybe made that part up as well
So confused at this point can no longer tell
To avoid your displeasure try to be tough
It literally kills me knowing I'll never be enough
Do not ask me why I'm sniffling from now on
There exists no right answer because each is wrong
I am the reason behind everlasting pain
It really doesn't make sense to complain
I just wish knew why you manipulate and lie
Say you just want my happiness then do things that make me cry
Be honest
I don't supply what you need
Don't expect commitment if you can't return the deed
I am losing my mind
You're slipping away
If you know what is good for you you won't bother to stay

My favorite kind of song
Is not the lazy love ballads
It's the crashing ones
The catastrophic ones
The ones with the voices
Crooning gently
To whispered guitar
Before the solo hits
And you drive off the bridge
And crash your car

She was drown in the shadows of a past she dare not escape.
Bound by an invisable chain, anchored, and weighting her down.
In a painful comfort of dysfunction, this chain rubbed raw places in her mind.
Like an addict in her ways, kindness and happiness slipped through her open grasp, so she could wade into the familiar waters once again wrapped in her sadness.

I lose a little bit more of you
Each swiftly passing day
Is there something I can do
To stop you from slipping away?
Without you here I am torn in two
You keep the darkness at bay
What will I do without the only one who
Makes me feel genuinely okay?
I know for certain our love is true
By how we kiss and the words we say
But lately I have been down and blue
Wishing to return to yesterday
I wonder if you feel it too
The distance between us in the way
Every minute ticking by I watch us fall through
Waiting for you to tell me you can't stay

I'm losing control
I'm letting it all go
It's slipping through
My fingers now
Everything I believe
There's just too much to hold
My burdens feel so heavy
I'm just not strong enough
I'm too weak to hold on any longer
You told me I could do it all
So I did, but you were wrong
Now my faith is scattered
And I don't know how
To pick up all these pieces
I haven't let go
I don't want to
But I can't hold on alone
Everything is already slipping
Spinning out of control
And I need
CONTROL

father says to conquer my fears,
but how can i when losing you is always
at the fault line?
when the earthquake strikes,
the tectonic plates shuffle,
slipping and grinding.
oh father, how can i conquer my fears,
when it's always on the line?
i can't help the thought of losing you,
how can i ever conquer that?

They say she has it bad,
Taking down the boundaries
She never really had,
Yes, it’s all a bit lethargic,
following what was said,
Trailing eyes and messages
and the overwhelming dread.
Let it down slowly,
It’s a phrase she has heard,
And maybe they’d realize her turn for the worse,
Lethargy, it’s an eight letter word,
But it rules the innards and the outer,
It’s just something she’s learned.
