Mandora's box
soaringllama Aug 2017
What is the ultimate evil
Well pineapples on pizza
Where is that stored
In pandora's pizza box

What the ultimate evil for men
Talking about the deep stuff
And no guys not ***
The feels that we repress
That we keep
In our Mandora's box

No these feels are like pineapples
Some people are totally fine with them
And even share them
Though most people don't want them to

But sooner or later
You will come across pineapple pizza
And just like the feels
You can ignore it
But it's still there on the counter
And sure some could throw it away
But then your throwing away pizza

You could pick off the pineapples
But there is still that juice
Just like there is still that fear
When you talk even selectively about feels

Ok so just eat all the pineapples
No chance not for you
Not opening up to you
But you got to open up to somebody
And maybe they make the pineapples
Taste like a meat lover deep dish
Probably not but maybe
Just a little better

Me by definition
soaringllama Dec 2017
I am defined
By the blood
And tears I've shed,

I was formed
By the pieces
That were put together,

I am not whole
Not who I was
Not what I want
But what I got,

I was made
Not made from clay
And a hand,
But from flesh
And a knife

Who I am isn't due to love
Who I am was caused by fear
But that doesn't make me less
It makes me more,
I should remember that
I came from pain
And have made it far.
I've been ******* myself. Thinking about what I'm not and what I should be rather then what I am and what I have done. I have been forgetting all I have accomplished and that I have done so much and it's been making me feel hopeless of doing anything meaningful;

Teetering
soaringllama Oct 2017
I look like I'm stable
Like nothing can move me
I look like I'm steady
Like nothing will shake me
But really I teeter
To every word I flinch
But really I totter
To every change I break

I'm Unable to balance
My emotions and all,
As I sit alone
On this teeter totter.

No healers, all wounded
soaringllama Nov 2017
She sits and cries,
She cries and waits,
She waits for someone,
Someone to help,
But no one comes
No one helps,
So
She waits as she cries
She cries as she sits
Next to a boy
Who sits and cries.
Sometimes we get stuck in our own problems and just wait for someone to notice, we get so stuck that we don't notice others.

Goodbyes
soaringllama Oct 2017
I hate goodbyes
I really do
But I hate leaving even more
Especially without a word
But we both know our time is done
We've been friends
We've been more
And we've had benefits
I wished it wouldn't have ended
I wished we didn't drift
But we did
It's my fault
But It's time to say goodbye
And I truly mean it
I'm not going to message you just goodbye
Cuz that looks petty and seems *******-ish
So this is goodbye.
Old friend
I've tried my best to stay friends
But there is no try
Only do or do not

Regrets
soaringllama Oct 2017
I can't get over my mistakes
They follow me on a chain
That I pick up and drag...
I want to drop the chain
But I can't, my hands are empty
Because they it's held by my brain

anger
Anger for nothing
Just ****** and being an ***
Can't say why I'm
mad

stress
Stressed from little
On edge for everything I have
Can't stop my
stain

empty
Empty from this
Left drained from day to day
Never felt so
hollow

before
Haven't felt so

Unwanted competition
soaringllama Aug 2017
I wasn't born this competitive
I was forged
Because they strongest metals
Are forged
In the hottest flames
I still feel
The heat of the forge on my skin
Pushing me
To be better then everyone
Pushing me
To fight unwinnable battles
And sometimes
I make it out alive and stronger
And sometimes
I barely crawl away with my life
So the forge
Fires up again pushing me to hate
And the forge
Makes me resent those who are better
Til I can't stand
Being around them or knowing them
Til I can't stand
Doing something I can't win
So the forge
Turns off and makes quit
So the forge
Crumbles onto me and I'm crushed

I wasn't born this competitive
And this lust for victory
Is what's holding me back
From being the strongest I can be

Still checking in
soaringllama Dec 2017
I use to check on you
Even though I said I was done
I hated it
But I needed to

When I did stop
You had just left my mind
I was content
But then you dropped by

I didn't mind our talk
I actually enjoyed it much
But you left so quick
And now I'm back
To shamefully
Glancing by
Arg... I got to stop being so concerned

Meaningful weights
soaringllama Oct 2017
Words carry the weight
of their meaning ...

Too often
Words just drag
With the purpose
To hold us down

Too often
Words just float
With no meaning
They take up space...

But silence can't float
It can't drag.
At times
Silence
says more than...

Withering body
soaringllama Mar 2018
I feel my body crumble
I fight and struggle
I slowly turn to rubble

My lungs starts to leak
While I gasp for air
I won't even bother to speak
I know it's pointless
An attempt for the weak

If I am to die
It won't be in fear
But with pride
That I did all I could
Before I died

What I have
soaringllama Mar 2018
I have a drive
But no start

I have words
But no pen

I have a fuel
But no heat

I have a desire
But I have excuses

I have the ability
But no effort

I have what I need
Except for me.

Thanks for dropping by
We had a good talk
Shared a few laughs

Thanks for stopping by. Sorry if you got in trouble for talking to me.

What we did
soaringllama Aug 2017
Why do we fight the ones we love
Is it out of fear that their too close
Why do we lie to the ones who care
Is it because we don't want them to worry
Why do hide from the ones who are there
Is it easier then facing disappointment
Why do we hurt the ones we want
There is no excuse for the things we do
Yet We point to our pain
We try to busy the blame
But we know we did it

A new leaf
soaringllama Sep 2017
I use to think I had it bad
And sure yea I've been through ****
But that's in the past
I use to write all sad
And sure yea sometimes I get gloomy

But that's over

Now I'm gonna write funny
Or at least try my humor is not good
But better then my rhymes
And I'm not in it for the money
No... no one laughed
It's suppose to be a bad rhyme
thats part of the joke
Oh... so my poem is a joke
Well you wanna no what
*It is a **** fine joke then

What if
soaringllama Oct 2017
What if I was never stabbed
Or my brother was normal
Well I wouldn't be emotional
Well I wouldn't be scarred
Well I wouldn't have an ex
Well she wouldn't want to **** me

But on the other hand
I wouldn't have me personality
Well I wouldn't be good at speaking
Well I wouldn't have written poetry
Well I wouldn't have had a tiger llama thingy
Well I wouldn't have made friends

But again
I wouldn't have beat up my brother
Well I wouldn't have betrayed my friend
Well I wouldn't have lost her either
Well I wouldn't be emotionally confused
Well I wouldn't be trying to fight everyone

Doubt
soaringllama Nov 2017
Words that break you down
Voices that slow you down
Thoughts that hold you down

The doubt that will hurt you
Comes from the mouths of others
The doubt that will scar you
Comes the heart of friends
The doubt that will destroy you
Comes from the thoughts
You hold with in
Been telling myself I can't or it won't happen and when people give me weird looks I say I'm just being realistic. But they look at me weird not because I doubt myself but because I have never ever doubted myself.

Frozen tears

I take the cold walk to my car

So they won't freeze on my face.

Looks of pity
soaringllama Jan 2018
I am tired of them saying,
"you'll get him next time"
"you almost had him"
"you were so close"

I am tired of seeing,
your eyes so filled
with **** pity
I'm afraid if I bump you
I'll get it on my clothes.

So *******,
you don't know what you say,
you don't know what I do,
You don't know how I fight...
And if you don't *******
You just might.
I'm tired of people and their ******* pity, if you cared you would help

Fundamentals
soaringllama Nov 2017
Take a step back
Look at who you are
Think about who you were

What would you think
When you were young
If you saw yourself give up
If you saw yourself fall apart
If he saw you breakdown and forget
The fundamentals of being
Declan
Declan doesn't give up
No matter what
He spits in the face of defeat
Even when it knocks him on his ***
Declan doesn't fall apart
Even when the weight of life
Comes crashing down on him
Declan knew
He knew that every second of pain
Made him
Declan

We all dream of victory
We all strive for the best
But we all fall short
But we all face defeat
We all have nightmares
We all get broken
But we all are strong
But we all get up
Because we will keep on dreaming
Because it's that or give up
Thoughts... feedback.

The x's game
soaringllama Oct 2017
Why can't you get over it,
It was two years ago,
It was only a month,
And you're the one who left,

Why can't you leave me be,
You just can't stand me,
Can't take my smile,
And that makes me smile more

You don't understand do you?
I don't hate you,
I hate what you do,
And I love to hate you.

You think you can **** me?
Try I dare you
Send your boy
And then find a new one.
My ex is still being crazy, last year she got caught sending an email to her boyfriend asking him to **** me, now her new boyfriend is asking about me. She been flipping her **** for weeks, and I know whats going to happen

Friend in need
soaringllama Sep 2017
I try to be there
For my friends
Even with my words
I make it feel like I'm there
Make it like I'm holding them
I try to be that friend they need
Recently one of my friends told me I should be a motivational speaker and I brushed it off. But the more I think about it the more I realize they are right because I love to make words carry weight and meaning like poetry but poetry doesn't work that way for me. So yea if there is a hellomotivationalspeeches website I'd love to go there.

Always give me a smile

I don't know who you are
Yet I look foward
To every poem

That I'm thankful that you do

Hidden
soaringllama Aug 2017
I hide my emotions because you wouldn't understand
   If you knew I had nightmares
You wouldn't believe me
You would talk about how carefree I am.
   If you heard that I am weak
You wouldn't listen
You would say something about my muscles
   If you saw how scared I am
You wouldn't think it was me
Saying to yourself how fearless I act

But I stay up at night because of memories of my brother
   I bring myself down and rip myself  apart for my inabilities and faults
   I am afraid of being vulnerable, and opening up because I've been hurt by those who love me

I hide among my new personality of strength fun freedom and bravery.

Defeat

I am not one to admit defeat,
Call it pride
Call it persistence.
I just never gave up,
But recently that ended,
My body just stopped
My heart had died
No longer could I
Stop my own

Defeat
I find myself giving up on stuff more and more. Recently it has been sports and I just feel lost because of it

I use to chase sanity
Thought it would bring happiness
But now I've embraced crazy
And all the stories we bring

I use to strive for normal
Thought it would bring friends
But now I've pursue weird
And all the jokes it brings

I use to wish for silence
Thought it would bring the better me
But now I embrace the noise
And all the imperfections I bring

I still dream for love
Thought it would bring peace
But I still chase that dream
And all of its foolishness

Broken Roads

I wonder alone
On this broken road
It has no turns
No bends
It is only straight

I've walked forever
On this broken road
It's served no point
No goal
Only to keep on going

My feet have bled
On this broken road
I grow weary
Grow tired
No longer able to walk
On this broken road

Partless breathing
soaringllama Dec 2017
Ever since I got asthma
I feel like I've lost part of me
Every time I run
Every time I lift
My lungs break down on me

Ever since I got asthma
A part of me is stuck in the inhaler
No mater how many puffs
No matter how many breathes
It will always be there
This was in my drafts for awhile so I said whatever lets publish it.
soaringllama Nov 2017
I hate asthma.
I don't know what else to say
I have tried to write my feelings
But they feel empty and meaningless
I can't put the tears from my eyes onto the screen
I can't tell of how much it's taken away from me
This problem seems so small
But to me
It feels
Too
Big
Just hate the fact that I can never be what I use to be, I already dropped basketball, and wrestling has sent me into terrible asthma attacks. I hate not being able to try my best.

Broken and formed
soaringllama Oct 2017
The thing that shapes us
Is the thing that breaks us

The pain of the past
Brings joy that will last

From a fire
That can incinerate
Comes metal
With strength as a trait
Just remember it may hurt now, but it will pay off later

Imitating hate
soaringllama Sep 2017
You hate the people
That reflect the weak parts of you
That's what I use to think
Your worst moments
Are the ones that you remember
At least that's what I'm told
And your biggest enemies
Are what shape you the most
That's what I learned

I can't tell if I changed for good
I don't know if I am getting better
I can see the lines are not parallel
But we may intersect

Is I true that my actions
Aren't mine
Is really just a mime
Of what I've seen
Could I actually
Be imitating hate

Advice hard to remember
soaringllama Dec 2017
you may feel like you walk alone
on a turning unmarked path
you might feel scared and weak
in a dark dismal tunnel.
But if you walk with mind clear
You will see the turns.
But if you walk with your head up
You will see the light at the end.
I always tell myself this but never remember it when I need to

We move without a trace
We speak without a sound

Ignored when speaking
So we shout
Not seen when walking
So we stomp

I am a man

Icy memories
soaringllama Jan 2018
I take the cold walk to my car
Even when a friend offers a ride
I decline,
I need the walk
I need to think...

My breathe choppy
The weather attacking my lungs,
Head hung low in thought
of the pain I hold.

Why am I so bothered by my loss
Other people can't breathe,
But on that mat I felt it
My fear.

When I can't breathe
I lose all hope,
When my throat closes
I lose my power.

I was left there powerless...

Just those words break me
As I remember how I felt
When my brother cut me.
Powerless.

To make me seem edgy
To convey anxiety
Because...

I don't have time to form my thoughts so I'm just typing I guess for attention
Wow great self awareness

That I have no feelings

That I need some help

                  But not what I needed
                 I got what I wished
                   But not what I hoped for

I take the cold walk to my car
Even when a friend offers a ride
I decline,
I need the walk
I need to think...

My breathing haggard
Lungs struggle for air,
Head hung low with defeat
from the match I lost.

I was doing so well
Till my breathing stopped.
My chest had stiffened
My throat had closed.
I knew this was the end
Just like it was the games before.

I walked away in shame,
As coaches asked what happened
With no breathe to explain
Why my body gave up,
I lifted my hand
Deeply shaded in purple

From all the gifts that I have
Sometimes I hate my body and not realize all the gifts I have
