whether I try to identify as
a girl or a boy in any way
the only thing consistent
for me to identify with
seems to be lonely
I cut my hair all off it was really fun! Also though people be thinking I'm trans, not a bad thing, but I'm not. Gender is wack and I don't care about it really.

Everyone says anxiety is heavy
that it will suffocate you
and drag you down
till all there is is panic

Maybe it’s cliche to say
but mine is a bit different
it’s like buzzing electricity
a senseless strike of lightning

I stutter and flutter about
not able to speak at all
without missteps and blanks
I’ll forget in the middle of

But the worst part is turning
the churning of my stomach
the constant feeling of *****
being alive makes me feel sick
The title is kind of a meme. I'm writing something stupid about my experience is "different", but I'm sure others have felt this way too. Honestly the day you wake up it might be a different kind. Anxiety is weird like that.

lay me down to sleep
so broken battered and tired
just let me rest please
Sometimes my body won’t let me sleep. Sometimes I’m trapped in wakefulness. Sometimes you need to take a benzodiazepine.

sometimes it’s hard
hard to breathe
my mind will seethe
with my own disregard

and a lack of empathy
for everyone and even me
because I’m a detainee
of my very own body

It’s almost midnight, that’s the worst time to be alive and alone with my thoughts.

She makes me feel giddy
tingles down my spine
like sweet mint on my tongue

She's got eyes like leaves
smooth drops of lily pads
resting in her glistening orbs

she always blushes so softly
it looks like rose petals
melded on to her skin

She's lavender to my soul
calms me down to sleep
in ways only she can do
What a meme, I'm still lonely and single. My love poetry seems to increase when I feel lonely.

A rope swings gently in the wind
hanging from an elevated stage
an audience mills below the steps

From a gleaming metal bared window
a young women in plain clothes watches
she sits proper and straight before her fate

They come at dawn clacking with her chains
she holds her head high down the hall
as tears stream down her petite face

The steps are high as they hoist her up
ringing the rope around her fragile neck
the roughness is a promise of darkness

In the crowd she sees her children mourning
Not yet dead she smile at them sadly
and mouths “I’ll always love you”

There is an ominous thump from below
and she struggles in the air hands grasping
too light for the rope to snap her neck

Hours and hours later the crowd gone
she breathes her last breath alone
hanging for something she didn’t do

Papers are due
I haven't even started
my college career is thru

Tests and papers strewn
everywhere this week
and my head is a typhoon
Just some quick rhymes and I'm off to Psychology for my research proposal paper revision.
