I watched my friend trip
and fall and fall and fall.
Collecting countless bruises
all in the name of love.

What is that which looms on the horizon?
My own response so carefully crafted.
Designs that I have embroidered eyes in
to see my own hand-sewn chaos drafted.

Your stitch-in, flowery language lacks work
and your seams seem to lack proper binding.
My dear, I can't accept mangled patchwork,
it's clear that you needle more reminding.

It's funny how you tailored your response,
yet you didn't know of the fabric's face
that laughed as you fabricate and ensconce
yourself in lies as delicate as lace.

You have barely weaved a good running stitch
Don't curse the seamstress who seems less stressed, witch.
An odd, sleeping beauty/pun/wordplay battle inspired poem that I sent my friend who thought he was being super clever with his words and I thought I show him how it's done. Haha i'm not sure if this follows all the rules of a sonnet, but that was the style I attempted. And witch was originally a cuss word.
This was silly and written without checking.

Hello love, that I don't love,
people just seem to fall for you
so very easily
and I'm left watching, wondering,
why people love to fall so much.
This is insanity, love.
Absolute craziness.
I don't love you, love
and you don't love me.
Yet you show me what you can do
to everyone else in this world,
and I'm just watching.
Romantic love? No, I don't love you.
I can't even feel you.
I can't even feel you.
I can't even feel you.

I'm 20 years old and I have time to fall in love. I know that. But apparently, I'm feeling dramatic today.

Not all of us are great.
Not all of us are evil.
So where do you fall
on this spectrum in life?
I fall right in the middle.

I think i'm sick
and I can't find out yet
if what I suspect
is what I should expect.
I'm avoiding researching
The internet
Because it'll put my mind in a panic
I can't afford to be manic.
I can't afford to panic.
I've had some scary symptoms and i'm being vague on purpose because I don't want to diagnose myself. However, we're going through a change in insurance which means I have to wait because having a preexisting condition would cause more problems. I'm not going to elaborate more until i get an answer, but that doesn't change the fact that i'm very concerned and I need to express that.

The tick of the clock is violent.
I don't want to exist,
but I will if I have to.

My mind is a threatening place.
It hurts me, yet keeps me safe.
How did I create such a disgrace?

The pendulum swings at me.
My heart speeds up the beat,
and it beats me too, can't you see?

With distorted perception
I can't get my feet to run.
I'm trapped in my depressed reality.

My mind won't leave me be
my voice is screaming at me
Telling me to move, but I can't breathe.

I know there's oxygen
tell that to my anxious lungs.
When they panic, my thinking is manic.

Beastly branches bow above me
like arms that reach wretchedly.
Desperate for the earnest earth
to become their hopeful home,
and carefully cradle them to sleep.

Twisted twigs target the gaps between
like fingers that point pathetically.
They try to force the listless leaves
to feel their sorry struggle,
and then finally fall with unease.

Terrible trunks teeter around me
like bodies done suffering stoically.
They acutely feel their laxing life.
In the way, I watch their forms fall.
Down go those troubled trees.

Funny how words can just inspiré you sometimes.
