Manipulated Music
ok okay Feb 2019
How many songs can you salvage from a dead person's voice?
They are gone
And, although their voice still lives on
These songs aren't truly theirs
They have been altered and manipulated
Yet, we love them even more
Because people love to want to know
About someone who's already gone
Lil Peep, X, etc. Is it moral to recreate someones songs for profit?
650 · Nov 2018
No Love for the Poor
ok okay Nov 2018
When a pop star dies people want to know who to blame
When a homeless person dies they are labelled insane
649 · Nov 2018
Count Your Sins
ok okay Nov 2018
If every sin was counted
Hell would be overcrowded
644 · Nov 2021
Lonely
ok okay Nov 2021
Lonely
That word should be left alone
638 · Nov 2019
Use Me
ok okay Nov 2019
Use me
Abuse me
And throw me away
For one night we were lovers
The next day we were straight
Questions you asked me
At first I said no
But just like depression
coercion is slow
You told me things that I wanted to hear
How we could be more
It's sad that you couldn't care less
You took me for granted
Now you pretend
That nothing happened that wild night
And that I'm just upset
ok okay Aug 12
Take me beyond these rainy days
Clutch my hand
Let's go away
I can write us to another place
Where no shadows exist
A great escape

A meadow can find us
And hold us near
All our fears will disappear

We can watch the seasons change
The faded colours will not stay

The falling stars can watch us dream

Nothing is truly as it seems
The ending could be interpreted in a couple of ways. I see it positively :)
616 · Sep 2021
Untitled
ok okay Sep 2021
His eyes never lie
That's why he always looks at the sky
ok okay Jan 2019
I lost the key to unbind my soul
And I thought I would never find it
Until one night
At a bridge between life and death
I came to an understanding
The pavement at the bottom of the bridge wasn’t they key
My soul was never bound in the first place
602 · Nov 2018
Rhetorical Questions
ok okay Nov 2018
Do rhetorical questions serve a purpose?
A rhetorical question to explain its own meaning, make sense. Yes/no?
599 · Aug 2023
Maybe a Nightmare
ok okay Aug 2023
Do you see the other side
When your dreams will not let you breathe?
597 · Oct 2018
Come With Me
ok okay Oct 2018
Come with me
I'll take you into the darkness
We can pretend we are happy
No more pain and anxiety
You can be the light
I'll be drawn to your attention
We can pretend we know whats real
And take turns coloring imaginary roses
You can have my heart
Attached to a chain
I'll never leave your side
Together we can go insane
592 · Nov 2019
I am ok, okay?
ok okay Nov 2019
I want to cry
But its too late
Light will arrive soon
My mind will be astray
I won't be able to smile right
They might turn me away
But if I dream tonight
Maybe just for an hour
I could pretend
That everything will be okay
Everything is ok, okay?,
587 · May 2021
As the World Plummets
ok okay May 2021
As the world plummets
So will my mind

As the sky becomes polluted
So will my eyes  

As the bright lights start fading
So will my dreams

What I think has become infinity

I can't see what is right in front of me

Because the bright lights are nowhere to be seen
ok okay Jan 2019
You sense hope
I sense despair

You found trust
I found fear

You love yourself
I love to pretend I care

Your dream of being happy
Is my worst nightmare
We are too different.
525 · Jan 2019
The Sooner the Better
ok okay Jan 2019
The only good thing about life is that we get to die at the end of it
I changed my mind. I hate everything.
522 · Oct 2018
Tightrope
ok okay Oct 2018
Life is like walking across a tightrope
It's only a matter of time before you fall
510 · Nov 2023
Abyss
ok okay Nov 2023
I feel infinite
In this horrid abyss
May time stand still
As I cease to exist
506 · Dec 2019
Pink Boy
ok okay Dec 2019
I wonder what they think
A quiet boy
A pink jumper
I just like the colour
But I still wonder
what do they think
Am I not masculine enough?
Are my emotions showing too much?
Maybe I am just overthinking it
It hurts to know that I will never quite understand it
You have your reasons
I have my own
I just want to be me
But it seems to risky to push it
Don't get me wrong
I love wearing black too
But sometimes I just feel blue
And want to wear the brightest colours in my room
502 · Feb 2019
Another Day of Boredom
ok okay Feb 2019
A smile escaped your face as the clock hit twelve
Reality had set in before the sun had rose
498 · Apr 2020
Beauty is Terrifying
ok okay Apr 2020
Beauty is terrifying
We are either picked to be put in the spotlight
Or are left to be seen by no one
I think we should just leave the flowers in the ground
Flowers are much like people
498 · Mar 2022
Enveloped in Ink
ok okay Mar 2022
So much pain and sadness
Enveloped in ink
We have so much time to write
While others have no time to think
There is no time for pain
When missiles light up the sky
There is no time for sadness when it is your turn to die
I have the luxury to write and attempt to show it to the world. For that, I am truly grateful. Not everyone has that opportunity.
495 · Mar 2021
Closer than you know
ok okay Mar 2021
You lay next to me
But are far away in your dreams
I rest in your arms
And think about what all of this means
487 · Aug 2018
Days Merge into Years
ok okay Aug 2018
Days merge into weeks
Weeks merge into months
Months merge into years
years merge into...
RIP

Days merge into

                                    years
It will be gone soon
486 · Feb 2021
Lights
ok okay Feb 2021
If we sped up time
Our lives would be a flash
Maybe that's what makes us special
We are the few lights
In the infinite dark
477 · Jan 2019
The Club
ok okay Jan 2019
No shadows can be found at this time of night
Some of those awake have never seen true light

Hypnotic music draws them in at large
Their brain tells them sleep
But their heart tells them dance

A hundred people all cramped in one spot
Getting numb from drinking shots

Strobe lights are beaming
And so are their smiles
But all of the smiles will be gone in awhile

Once the music shuts down
So does your body
Who knew a place so popular could be so lonely
I think these places are incredibly lonely. I recently had a bad experience at one of them.
476 · Mar 2019
Lost My Way
ok okay Mar 2019
The stars didn't align today
I couldn't even see the moon
ima cry
468 · Apr 2019
Ivory Skin
ok okay Apr 2019
Ivory skin
True goth within

   Don't hold your grin boy
   It will get stuck in the wind

Suicidal love letters
To explain my final sin

   Boy says your life is nothing
   And loners should play their violin

As I looked down from the bridge sullenly
I realized losers never win
**** the people who put you down.
ok okay Feb 2019
Your delusions aren't twisted
Nor are they messy and dark
They are linear and have purpose

Those people won't understand
But it doesn't matter
Since we are not all that different
We all have our own delusions
Some of us just don't care to admit

There is no need to pretend you are normal
Because nobody is
Or maybe thats what makes us normal :l
445 · Dec 2018
If I Kill Myself
ok okay Dec 2018
If I **** myself
Does it make me a bad person?
Or does it make me a good person for realizing how bad the world is
just a thought, maybe i could help making the world better, but i don't believe in fairy tales.

I need an answer
442 · Jun 2019
Fell into Love
ok okay Jun 2019
I fell into love
And never stopped falling
Until one day I crashed through the roof
Of your feelings
441 · Feb 2019
Forgot to Walk my Shadow
ok okay Feb 2019
My shadow has been trapped for a while
I haven't taken it for a walk in days
Maybe I don't deserve this shadow
I regret lying in my bed all day
Recently I have been seeing less of my shadow
Darkness seems to scare it away
I hope my shadow doesn't go for good
Because it has followed me all this way
:)
438 · Nov 2019
He Wore Benevolence
ok okay Nov 2019
He wore benevolence
She wore a black dress

His smile met her frown
And he wiped away her tears
431 · Apr 2019
Take me to Nowhere
ok okay Apr 2019
Let me die and take me to nowhere
nowhere is better than heaven !
428 · Mar 2019
Writing on the Walls
ok okay Mar 2019
You took my pen away so I couldn't write on the walls
So I wrote on the walls of my mind
427 · Oct 2018
Cliche
ok okay Oct 2018
If everyone is trying to be different
Does that mean we are all a cliche?
427 · Aug 2019
Fade Away Forest
ok okay Aug 2019
Left to decay
Poisoned by man
Dirt turns to mud
And mud disrupts land
Hummingbirds chirp
But their wings will not last
Beautiful sadness
Will become part of the past
No trees will be standing
Oxygen will be scarce
Life will be fading
And no one will care
We are killing this planet and I think we will save it eventually, but we will have already lost so much
ok okay Jul 2018
A gentle sea breeze welcomes the former
The waves greet his old soul and accept him into its shelter
The sun's harsh rays are no match for the deep
The ashes fall to the bottom and become part of the sea
The sea is a graveyard where ashes lay to rest
It’s a place like no other where the deceased can reflect
The sea is a spiritual place
419 · Mar 2019
Orange sky
ok okay Mar 2019
Orange enveloped the sky
And all I could wonder was
Why?
It was surreal. Maybe this is all a dream.
414 · Mar 2019
Sullen Eyes
ok okay Mar 2019
I looked into the mirror and told myself

'Your eyes look sullen and sleep deprived
Just close them shut
There is no need to cry
Death will come in time'

Later that night
I took my advice
And fell into a nightmare
I felt alone and afraid
But once I awoke
My perspective had changed

I looked back into the mirror and told myself

'Your eyes look sullen and sleep deprived
But never close them
There is no need to hide
Death will come later
You have plenty of time
Live for today and all will be fine'
Based this of a lucid dream I had, one of the scariest feelings i have ever had. But it also is refreshing to have them, strangely. Never presented a poem like this as well so i have no idea if its good, also i changed my name a couple times if anyone is confused, old name was (Daniel)
395 · Apr 2019
Tissue Thin Skin
ok okay Apr 2019
Soft skin
Tissue thin
I pray to God
That you won't sin
Cuts and scars
Ropes and knives
Please don't commit
Suicide
I don't believe in God, but I do when you say you might end it all.
393 · Apr 2021
Life in the Hollow
ok okay Apr 2021
Life is empty
Like a sullen lonely hollow
We trip and we fall
And sometimes we keep falling
Life starts to blur
Memories become fragments
We want to dream forever
But even our dreams tell us to wake up
Because if we refuse
We will keep
                     f orever
                       a lone
                         l osing
                           l ife
                            i n
                              n othingness
                                g rievously
Took me a bit to format but yee :)
390 · Dec 2019
Beyond my Room
ok okay Dec 2019
Beyond my room
Through the closed door
Lies many wonders out to explore
Beauty and hardship
Smiles and tears
Sunshine and rain
I wish I could care

Time stands still here
The lights never change
Everyday feels the same

Death will come soon
Maybe I will give it a year
Maybe I will go outside more
Maybe one day I will care
388 · Mar 2019
The Loop Abides
ok okay Mar 2019
Paranoid
Sleep deprived
My mind is telling lies
Or is it
I cant decide
A problem is created
A solution is decided
Until the next day
The loop abides
386 · Jan 2019
Flare in the Dark
ok okay Jan 2019
I'm like a flare in the dark
Waiting for my light to go out
379 · Dec 2023
Goodbye
ok okay Dec 2023
Your tears were empty
In the depths of night
It was only us and the moon
As you looked in my eyes that one last time
I felt the loneliness loom
Long relationship ended, it feels lonely.
378 · Nov 2019
Pretty People
ok okay Nov 2019
Pretty people get jobs easier
I wonder if they get accepted into heaven easier as well
376 · Oct 2023
Talk to Me
ok okay Oct 2023
'Talk to me
Please'
Was that too much to ask
Now we are just memories from the past
375 · Feb 2019
Left the Sun for the Moon
ok okay Feb 2019
I left the sun for the moon
And found warmth in the darkness
A laptop screen became the light
From which I use to write
About how I became nocturnal
369 · Apr 2019
Love to be Alone
ok okay Apr 2019
I hate feeling lonely
But I love to be alone
368 · Dec 2022
Untitled
ok okay Dec 2022
The eerie grey clouds
Dominate the vast blue sea
This dullness has hindered my ability to see
But when I hear your words as you stand next to me
It makes this world not as bleak as I think it may be
