I’m good at shooting pain
So burn me alive like the sun
My fate is inked in a darkness
I’ll never be able to outrun

Here lately I haven’t been writing
And I’ve been staying in my room
Human interaction is a struggle
So I put on my best costume

It comes with a fake smile
And covers the dark circles around my eyes
I’ve become a master of the art
Of hiding my own demise

My therapist tells me I’ll get better
That I just need to give it time
But nobody understands the torture
Of being trapped inside my mind

My mental health is in shambles,
My anxiety always on edge
I’m finding it harder and harder
Just to get up out of bed

My brain is meticulous
With every thought I think
It feels like I’ve tied a brick to my ankle
And all I can do is sink

The chains that have bound me
Are tightening their grip
I wonder how much time is left
Until I lose myself to the abyss

Maddening that it makes you feel pure
the security of your damp, decrepit sanctuary
and your empty, stomach churning words.
A pathetic refuge for you and your damage.
I’d set fire to your home
if I thought it would phase you.
I’d run sandpaper across your tongue
if you wouldn’t revel in the pain.
Unsettling how it doesn’t feel the same now
when you pull my hair
or the pace of your pulse.
A growing distance that you crave.
I’d banish you to the cosmos
if they wouldn’t bring you peace.
I’d gouge out your adoring eyes
if you wouldn’t turn them into art.
Cracks
Like spiderwebs
Filters
Really
Of what we allow ourselves to see
Living inside the bowl
Pretending to be free
I stare at this one way screen
Wondering if you’re watching me
Building webs
Diligently
thyreez-thy Jan 2
Time passes as my name must be a long gone Memory
Stars die out, as you must tire from my apology
A singular, repetitive one, in a hope you say Hello one day
That we meet again, you look my way, and for one time to say
"I love you."

Constantly seen messages, Constant messenger pigeons
They console me, gently chide, tell me to let be
Yet every time it blurs my vision
That the prospect to becoming a lover and father one day
is tearing me apart

To use my youth denies accountability, blame others ruins my integrity, To say my mouth had enough, disregards the truth
My words followed the dark path my heart made, My youth turned adult
Can time, that heals wounds, still turn me into captivity
Where my own bedroom feels like a peaceful prison?


Can it be so easy to hate everyone, and wish they'd die?
Even the ones I love who I wish expire and live in the sky?
That my begging, tearful nature, is a crutch, and turns my fleeting independence
To a childish dependence
On others to send you messages I wish I could do myself

I believe God will bring her back, and bring me peace
But do I deserve such a charitable Deed?
I pray, cry and hope indeed
That his divined intervention intercedes

That a measly 7 months of silence
Can never compare to an eternity where death doesnt guarantee our souls meet
Tested by my patience
Willing to lose the sheep and honey bees of this world
For the bunny I sold away in anger
Something that came to me after a long wait for any form of peace.
thyreez-thy Dec 2024
Walking yet stagnant
Humble yet arrogant
Living but with regret
is your life really that set
Allow us to query

Is the womb really that scary?
Where is the world concerned?
Beginning feels less fearful, when you're holding my hand
When the world sees an outsider, you hold me, you understand
I thank the stars we made it thus far; this victory feels earned

Jokes are a hole that the truth seeps through...
Lies are a delicate poison
You choose transparency and remain true
Yet the world left you unchosen
Small loses that I'm sure burned
Looking for something that we all yearn
A sweet release from war by a soldier
Be the soldier your killer or savior, you'll be free from anguish
Looking back at it, do you feel like you earned your wish

I see your hazel eyes, swimming in a brown sea
I gaze at your chocolate skin, wishing I could be
Just a centimeter of who you are, and see how far
I could make it in your shoes, and choose you all over
Again, and again

Wanting what's within that comb is a dangerous venture
Bees’ stings, honey badgers and insurmountable height .... tasks only found on a dangerous endeavor
Yet....I can't make it as for as you did.... tasting you, which is too sweet and dangerous for most, makes me feel like a Cheater in nature
Allowed to be yourself you let me, a soldier, drink the sweet honey guarded by the bees
Unworthy
ill experienced
but you’re my thrill, you gave me my fill

A future hope for a better present
But there couldn't be a better present than you
Granting a wish only few could dream of...
Being better than those before and after
A poem mostly written by the man of the hour, he truly suprised me taking the role the long parts of the poetry in this duet.
