Small hurtful words diminished my personality,
Slowly creating my own false reality,

Ignorant and always abused,
To full knowledge and being personally accused,

To myself I'm so unloving and distantly cruel,
My image of myself has been warped from others at school,

I am made from the wishes of others so they are pleased,
And now I can see how much I am diseased,

I want to be me,
To whoever that is one day I'll learn to be free,

Drunk
Kevin Swiney Sep 2017
There's this liquid straight from the bottle,
That honestly makes me feel awful,

But it takes away my flowing conscious,
without it everything is nonsense,

It's a strange liquid that makes my feelings stronger,
And in doing so it makes me warm like my skin is fur,

Soothing, right down to the touch!
Although everything turns black when I've drank too much!

My mind is an ever-flowing mountain of idea's in the shape of streams,
From all these things I see day to day, and  past to past I can still feel you're still inside of my dreams,

Go and and go away,
Please God, I cannot stray

I breathed you in,
your addictive tasteful sin,

My darling was the medication I needed,
To stop the hallucinations that I once succeeded,

To the touch it feels me and I- hurt,
When I'm drinking and I'm feeling, everyone compares me to the dirt.
This piece was different, and I enjoyed writing it. Tell me what you think

Eyes
Kevin Swiney Sep 2017
Blue as the sky with short curly red hair,

Someone who minded to share

I found that love brought us as one

I had even hoped for a son

Your eyes are hauntingly addictive when I used to stare

Now all I know is that I still care

We looked towards every single star

Or at least I did when we drove in your car,
I hate this

Moon
Kevin Swiney Sep 2017
The Moon made it seem so right,
With her I had forgotten about all my fears

I will never forget our favorite midnight
These words I hate but: you'll always be my dear

I can't stop trusting you even though it's you I hate
Stars fell into a void of our their reality

Everyone knows they have a soulmate,
Nobody said that love would hate your personality

Thunderstorms in the morning kept you awake
You're leaving me, why couldn't you forget to leave

I don't think our love was a mistake
Leave those worries and those memories behind just don't Leave

I guess I'm done with you and your own ways,
I was physically strong, but you weren't mentally tough

I would try to say "no" if you asked me to stay
But honestly I don't know if I'm strong enough

Let me see you tonight
always and forever shining bright with those perfectly blue eyes
I'll turn off my bedroom light
Just don't look at the tears from my brown eyes
I love you

Journey
Kevin Swiney Sep 2018
Why are you looking for love
Did you receive it enough when you were young
Why are you running away from commitment
Did you not have any when you were growing
When the wind blows
Where do you look to
Are you heading it on
Or are you letting it carry you
Through the days
The months and the years
Where are you going
Is it to hell
Are you trying to be alive in any way
With others in a bed
Or with others and bottles
With a smoke
Or being wide awake in your room at night alone
Listen to the wind
Let it guide you
Not the whispers from a lover
The wind will blow from your heart
Face it while leaving all your hardships melt away
When you find yourself either with the friends you began your journey
Or with new ones who seem to push you towards the wind
Remember that the old friends are in memory, and that you can cherish
And the new ones are there to motivate you
Or carry you if you need it
And when you're in the deep
When your thoughts are low and the wind isn't howling anymore
With bugs and insects carrying the night on.
Remember the memories
Remember your friends
And not your troubles
For if you think wrongly
Doors will open pushing you away from your heart
I wrote this when I was very tired and about to fall asleep
