Sly - Hello Poetry

Sly Apr 2019

Can't escape the darkness inside.

Can't run from the monsters within.

Can't break free from myself.

Can't find peace between fire and ice.

Can't see the light at the tunnel's end.

Can't climb out of this endless abyss.

Outcast

I don't belong anywhere.
I don't belong in anytime.
A path traveled by no one.
A life of bitter solitude.
Unwanted.
Unneeded.
Broken.
Scarred.
A mistake.
An outcast.

The Stranger

On these snow covered hills I stand, an outcast of my kind.

Blood trickles from my wounds, staining the ground below me.

I was born unwanted, then forced to endure the abuse.

So don't mind me, I'm just looking for a place to hang my noose.

Surfacing

The battle fought within has forced itself to the surface.
All the bloodshed,
All the scars.
Neither side will surrender,
Nor honor a ceasefire.
This atrocity pushes people away,
For they wish not to get caught in the crossfire.

I'm a broken mess

Should I even try?
Should I even care?
Am I living in reality or a lie?
Am I too much to bare?
Why does no one understand?
Why does no one believe me?

Empty

Like gunshots
in a fire fight,
These empty thoughts
fill the cold night.
They have brought
darkness to extinguish the light.

1/1

New year, no change.

Same hell, same pain.

Still abused, still alone.

Remaining broken, keeping it unseen.
