"angsty" poems
You are my dear, decadent desert, My summer-thyme delight; Starlight. Tonight’s your night, for you I write. Radiant glow, fuzzed herbal hue. My dear butterscotch icecream. Sore arms churn thick, slick froth - Sauterne butter. Gentle spread melts, dowsed in sweet, sugared innocence, rich scents, then sits. 6 years pass quickly, youthhood gone; My black swan, a third complete. You, sauterne butter, mix with scotch - Fermented, demented, invented to inebriate. Golden brew dissociates reality - Spinny, fuzzy, dizzy, funny… gone. Go on again, dear fawn, 6 years pass, Pant for the water, two-thirds complete. 12 years as toll to adolescence; Icy, creamy, dreamy, element prepared. Scoops of soft serve mix with years past - Angsty era. Seductive spirits, beautiful brew. At last, my summer-thyme delight dances with rhyme. The lime-light shines; ten and eight. Todays the date, stuff immaturity away. Make room for the adulthoods’ good, Scooped generously into a bowl Shuttled and entrapped by me, Melting, streaming, gleaming and freezing. You awesome angel! My pleasure supreme - My dear butterscotch icecream.

Butterscotch Icecream
today i achieved the farthest state from meditation humanly possible i slammed down the horn when the wrinkled egg tried to place her stick in front of her. my cat's hunger is only met by my own intestinal growls, and it's my anniversary. i belong in a tribe of chimpanzees. i'm too lazy to shower, too angsty to sit still, too apathetic to lift even one limb from that sweet honey mud that clings to me, that bubble of no-space, and i have so many ideas. i want to do everything. but the pebbles turn to dark walls when they should be cobblestone, everyone cares and is trying to help me i'm alone, alone, alone.

This is not an angsty teenage poem of love lost in that moment when you realized you wern't the exception This isn't the story of love found over a cup of coffee This is the poem for those who cannot speak afraid of the havoc their words will wreak the voices that tell stories worth sharing wanting to be set free to see light to scream Those who sit in fear of not being believed and for those who's name they'll never speak The star athlete the man down the street the man in the corner of the bar their best friends brother,  in his car. this is a poem for those who shed tears and wish they were layers of skin this is the poem for words unspoken for those who wish that all they lost was love for those who's tongue's gone numb for those who wish this was an angsty teenage poem.

Not an Angsty Teenage Poem
Oranges you make my hands sticky. You make my knife sticky. my clothes, my mouth, everything sticky. i wonder if it is worth it just to be healthy. i wonder if it is worth it to eat the tasty insides. i wonder about the worth in anything when i eat you oh orange you. You remind me of outcome - effort = worth and how i hate that about you. Don't make me think, don't make me sad and angsty. For God's sake your supposed to just be a fruit.

my friend said she’s Quirky Angsty And different She’s not she’s insecure And I don’t mean any offence bu that statement But she thinks the chains around her neck make her appeal to her abuser And the fact that she’s never, really, properly drunk and yet pretends she’s wild and has lives lives she hasn’t She says “ if you ever need someone to be a crackhead I’m right here” She’s not She’s insecure She has sisters I have brothers And although we’re no longer defined by genders I think we are now She wants to be like her younger sister But she’s not popular like her She lacks for charisma But is sweet and kind She thinks “cage the elephant” is indie music And thinks listening to the strokes makes her cool And that turning of capital letters on her phone somehow makes her “not like other girls” She’s wrong I don’t do any of that **** and I don’t pretend to be quirky, angsty, and different And all the boys prefer me. And yet I’m insecure She should go back to fan-girling over Shakespeare And writing books and poetry for fun You’re not Quirky Angsty And different you’re just insecure Ok yeah good. ? ! Got it perf. Vibes. Cool,,, lel!’v

Quirky Angsty and Different
I want to go to a record store with you we can spend the little money we have left on The Smiths, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd for an hour or two we can be angsty teens in the 80s who drink cheap beer and steal our parents cars lets pretend were running away from home, from school, from everything we know I wanna lay on the floor of your apartment put a record on the turntable and hear that sweet crackle we'll listen to what we've bought and pretend we're watching the stars through the ceiling they'll dance to the beat like a laser show in our eyes while mind blowing guitar riffs and drum beats fill our spirits -kk

I want to go to a record store with you
a ghost white fluffy fluff **** ball of fur kneading on my thigh want to smack it and knock it off but it’s purring and it’s warm my friends have the cute meow meow meows and feeds it a lot so I pet the kitty when I’d rather fall asleep or pet you Soon, it jumps off the bed presumably to race up and down the stairs at night, watch the ghost floof away— its fur hiding its legs and looking like a hovering white cloth

my poetry’s a bit angsty lately
i saw the greater part of creation succumb to the piracy of numbness- the nimbus rage of torpedo cigars blowing blue-grey smoke into the dark lashes of love-struck little ***** thirsty angels with tangled curls of hair bashing their heads against bathroom walls screaming under their breath, not enough. i saw the green plastic- and her orange eyes and the soap-bubbles on the sidewalk and the soap frothing all over the sidewalk and the glass that took off like pristine bullets in every direction and- blood running over the cum-covered lip of the curb, flowing into the street- down to the drain, dripping into the hungry orifices of the big metal grate into sewer pipe salvation- destination unhindered by your humanity. god, this must be insanity and not even the good kind. but let's go watch the fire-works up on the roof- crawl out the attic window i let you go first to watch the electric calico trickle down your legs like a promise. i like the birds that fly in and out of your hair- the handkerchief at your hip, i like the crazy and the cool- the too cute for comfort and the fake angsty danger of your darkside. like morphine- the band or the drug? you're ironically detached with your semi-satanic languidity- and overdue serenity [i got a few overdue books at the library.] [they closed the library a long time ago.] i like to play catch with your presence- our eyes with the back-and-forth, the half-sent glances when we think the other isn't looking. but we were always looking- or at least i was always looking at you. i could see half inside of you. you were always half-naked- in the scanty rags of the latest fashion. when you breathed it was like nectarine noises- and muffled yelps of love. i watched your shirt move up and down on your chest and told you about "never knows best" it seems i've seen the greater part of creation succumb to the supreme softness and the best laid plans of motorcycles and mini-vans fall to pieces in my palms. and you were the greatest creation i saw on the roof that day. don't bat another pretty little eyelash at those tiny flashing pieces that go past like ricochets it's just one more night of strangeness and then you can be free again.

Angst
the other night, i had a dream; usually, i don’t remember my dreams— those unconscious musings of my mind— but this night was different; maybe it had something to do with the fact that i had fallen in the shower half an hour before laying it down on the pillow... ...a trickle of blood running down my forehead, transforming quite alarmingly into a babbling brook consisting entirely of chocolate milk; my raft bobbed up and down, the demon who haunts my nightmares now clad in a tuxedo— a nice change from the bright pink trench coat he usually wears... ...the demon’s strong hands propel the craft forward with a rather Huckleberry Finn-like affectation; i turn my attention from my oldest friend to the shore, sparkling with broken glass, thumbtacks, and mathematical equations; there, i glimpse my classmates doing burpees... ...suddenly, a car crash occurs; the chocolate milk becomes a very narrow, winding road, the end of which is obscured by an angsty cloud of disappointment; the elevator plummets horizontally toward the 3rd sub-basement of the shower; my friend in the tuxedo offers me a steaming cup of hot chocolate... ...which burned my tongue, causing me to cackle wildly and toss the mug into the abyss; **** you cup!” i scream, utilizing my full lung capacity as i begin to fall again, down, down, down; and then i was awake, sweating, bleeding; i may have a concussion...

the only dream i had this month
If it wasn't almost 2016, I would call you on your house phone from my corded phone in my kitchen, we'd chat quickly as to not rack up my phone bill, we would make dinner plans and call it good. But it is almost 2016 and I'm actually looking at your Facebook and your girlfriends Instagram and I'm laughing / crying over the gag worthy photos she has you featured in. If it wasn't almost 2016, I wouldn't even know you had a girlfriend and I wouldn't have tried to save the poor girl from your ***** lying ways. But it is almost 2016, and when Snapchat helped me find out you had a girlfriend while still trying to **** me, I DID try to save the poor girl from your ***** lying ways. You told me not to say anything more, but I had to stop this because I know the feeling of a heartbreak like the one you were about to cause her. If it wasn't almost 2016, I wouldn't have access to every social media platform that allows me to see every single detail of your life. I wouldn't be driving myself crazy with questions and no answers. But it is almost 2016, and I get to watch your life unfold with someone else and wonder why I came in last, still no answers. If it wasn't almost 2016, forget tinder and my quirky bio with the 6 best photos I've ever taken, you'd call me on my corded phone because you actually knew IRL how fun and quirky I am and you'd already have seen me in all my green eyed, beautiful brunette glory. It is almost 2016 and that means I am just another girl that you aren't looking for something serious with because you're a boy in his early 20s craving freedom. Instead you send me ***** text messages because you're a boy in his early 20s and you met me on Tinder. I am a girl in my early 20s and when you met me on Tinder, you assumed I wanted less than a relationship and a little more than a "hey how are you?" convo. If it wasn't almost 2016, you wouldn't have detailed all the ways you would make me feel good because would you ever really say those things to my ******* face? But it is almost 2016, and you didn't say any of those things to my ******* face, you said it beneath the unsolicited picture of you naked in your bathroom mirror and you even added that ******* emoji with the sunglasses, like what you were doing to me was actually super cool. If it wasn't almost 2016, I wouldn't have known that you were feeding lies to me on a silver platter, I would have gorged myself on your tasty sweet nothings. But it is almost 2016, and I am starving myself of something worthy and filling because I can't stop reading the tasty sweet nothings you are feeding her. It is almost 2016 and I wish I could have said **** you to your two timing face instead of via text message. **** you, again and again and again.

Angsty Teen
If my life were a movie it would be one of those films that gets hyped up to no end because I’m one of those kids with the rough childhood who just wants to make it When in reality it’s just a less action packed but just as dark dc movie My story has also been confused with a marvel movie since the protagonist is me And i can't help but cut my overbearing traumatic tragedies with self deprecating comedies But my life to me feels more like an edgar wright movie where the action isn’t as exciting as The fact that I was able to get out of bed this morning And my day to day reality will forever feel like a motion blur of edited out negative emotion I think Maybe my life could be a wes anderson movie stuck in one color palette for the rest of my eternity And my maturity tends to overwhelm me my journey is like an anderson movie because i tend to create a world around me Taking time to shape my own protected reality so that the outside world can’t hurt inside me If im being honest though i want my life to be a spielberg movie that grabs attention of all ages coming from all sorts of places I want to spin my truths into his fantastic fantasies where no one equates my past with me But at the same time I want my life to be a blast from the past john hughes movie where i find a way to stop my past from haunting me And everything ends up okay at the end of the day because my minds overbearing insecurities No longer have control over me Now i see that in actuality other peoples movies are just too much for who i truly want to be and how my trauma impacts me I mean between my all of those boring biographies and my abundance of favorite movies I’d want my life’s movie to be full of images depicting my fondest memories and all my angsty gen z tendencies If my life were a movie i’d make it about how I am, or was, or am going to be If my life were a movie I’d make it about me

i really don't understand why i am this way. why every day is a struggle, why i have to dredge up every single ******* positive thought from the parts of my heart that continue to beat and bleed. i really don't understand why i can do this. why i can sling excuses and ******** why i can talk away every single ******* positive thing that could happen to me when all i want is something to smile at. i really don't understand what keeps me here. what keeps me holding on to you, what makes me think of every single ******* positive thing you did for me when there was so much negative. i really, really don't understand why everything i write is so angry, so sad, so ******* angsty, even when i've had a wonderful day and i could swear to you, i could swear it doesn't hurt anymore. nothing hurts anymore, and nothing makes me angry. walk away from everything i felt for you and everything i did for you and all the tears i ******* cried for you, and it won't hurt me, not this time.

i can't ******* write anything.
Hey, so I felt like writing. But I didn’t know what to write. So I’m here. Talking to myself. I’m eating pizza pockets in bed. I’m listening to the ** I’m cold. I’ve had a glass of summer red and it’s too early to sleep. I’m thinking about Ben. I’m thinking about my dad. I’m thinking about where I’ll be in a month or two from now. It’s hard to wake up some days. Because I think this is as good as I’m going to get. Because I’m not so good at this. Any of it. I’ve only just mastered breathing. But functioning? Sustaining healthy relationships? I can’t even win the approval of the person that’s sole job is to love me whether I deserve it or not. My dad has given me the cold shoulder before. But this feels heavier. And I can’t help but to think that perhaps I deserve it. I’m not always very nice. In fact I think sometimes I like the idea of people thinking I’m a complete ***** If I was a therapist I’d probably say something like: “It’s a defense mechanism.” Yeah. Maybe. Maybe I’m actually a really nice and I like being in the company of others. Maybe. Maybe I’ll find success in my future career. Maybe I’ll live in a nice house and I won’t **** up my children’s lives because I never had a proper parental figure. Maybe I can give them the stability I’ve craved my whole life. In a perfect world. But the world is infamous for its lack of perfection. What I hope to accomplish through my writing is complete honesty. If nothing else, I want to be able to be honest with myself. The one place I can do that is my writing. Honesty comes easy on paper. It’s softer. Gentler. But words spoken always seem too harsh, and too loud. I don’t know much about anything, but there are some things I do know. I know that I want to give and receive love. I know that there are parts of myself that I like to pretend don’t exist. I know that I am scared of just about everything. But… I think I will be okay despite the odds. But I’m not sure okay is good enough.

i doubt you know how much you mean to me. If you did you'd be too creeped out to still be dating me. But to me, you mean the world. Not the "i'm nothing without you" kind, as I am a valid human being. Not the "i can't go on if you leave" kind either as i know i could. But i would really rather not. Nor could i happily. You're my world in the way that you make me a better person. You are why i stay healthy when all i have is a cold. You're why i drive safe and limit the stupid angsty **** i do (believe it or not it is limited). You're a good influence. You're everything i wish i was and all that beachy ******** But you're so much more. When i am lost you're my guide (rife with dat symbolism) needed more after i got GPS oddly. When i can't think you're my muse. You're my companion in this world whether you realize that or not. The hotter, smarter, funnier, more responsible, more beautiful half of me. A liver half is enough to live but to live well it is best for a full one. To continue this bad metaphor i am living well.

You're my Second Liver Half
Blue eyes serpent. The devil dressed in sinister clothing. Carve my heart, and it was bleeding in his hand. Lust swirled over head, passion laced on a sinful seduction. A voice of reason, lost in his twisted words of appeal. I wanted his painful kiss, with my tongue scraping a razor blade deal. His abuse is all knowing but only in the way of  his desire. Blue eyes demon; how I let you use me. Twisted and scorned by a hand of Hell; till there was nothing left but a wayward vessel. All of the memory's of our sweet serenity, gone and filled with angsty longevity . How do I continue forth? Walking this path of broken and cracked pavement. I died a thousand times, watching you at the other end of the knife. If only you could see the blood on your hands. I wanted to heal you. I wanted to feel you. I wanted to be closer to the time when you could finally see me. Blue eyes, it's time for goodbye. You may still hold my beating heart, but alas I'm the one living and moving on.

Angsty breathing.
To write down all my fears would take a book. My desires even more. The big problem, however, is where they overlap. To desire what i fear at least seems adventuresome, almost romantic. Scary yes, but exciting. Like a roller coaster ride with a fear of falling, like i do. Adulthood, the scary but most wonderful time of life. Then there is the fear of what i desire. That is a whole other beast entirely. What if my desires are not good for others? What if my desires steer me wrong? What if i follow one path when another would have been better? What if i don't achieve my desires? What if all these existential, angsty thoughts are complicating things and themselves standing in the way? What if? What if indeed.

What If?
As kids we were close, Pushing each other on a swing during humid afternoons, Scrapping over the biggest piece of cake, Singing and strumming old rock songs on a video game, Cheesing in the odd school picture together, Hiding the family dog upstairs, cartoon shows on the tv, Volume at its highest, all to drown the rows vibrating the walls From downstairs, It seemed back then we had each others back, Sobbed for the same reasons at night, Nervously bit at the skin around our nails over unknown noises, Shook a knee with every thought of fleeing our hometown, Yet now we don’t even know each other, The distance runs thicker than blood, He said she said infiltrating a possible recovery of a bond, I often wonder how it can be, two people from One home, both living on different planets, Almost generations away from beliefs we once shared, Pinching at each others emotions from another continent. I found a journal from when I was my angsty teen self, Words of fury coated most pages, Some rhymes of regret, Plenty of mischievous essays, Page 94 had no explanation, just a date, some doodling And one sentence, “You were the first one to break my heart.” As kids we were close, But what do kids know.

He had a clock in his stomach Time is a hungry crocodile After eating your hand And learning he likes the taste That is when the arthritis kicked in Or the unexplainable pain Caused by a broken wrist Or maybe just aching joints in the cold I think of all the times I wanted to sever my own shadow Question my presence Even in moments of light Where do I stand If I cast no shade? There is a boy Who one time for hours Pointed at a can of pringles In the hopes that he could make it move With only his mind The bike he learned to ride on Had flat tires He one time shaved down and spiked the back of his head Then grew his bangs out and dreaded them He had an albino rat named snowflake Those were his angsty years Then he found this crocodile And it was so cool And it ticked like a time bomb It didn’t hurt him or anything So he kept it Until one night it tried to eat him in his sleep So he ran But maybe it thought he was its mother Or love wasn’t enough Or it was just mean He wonders if his got hungry too early Burning bridges at both ends Forcing him to jump in the middle He was a darling child And he was lost for a while Then he was found By a crocodile With a clock in its belly And really Who doesn’t want a pet crocodile?

When Captain Hook Was Peter Pan: A Cycle
Father Christmas came and slipped through the cracks of my poorly constructed home so quickly and quietly that I hardly marked the date. I suppose it's my fault for spending so much time listening to angsty drums and guitars scream my name that I can no longer hear his voice in the tear of wrapping paper and Mr. Crosby's tunes. But I caught a glimpse, between the blinking of red and white on my tree, when my mother smiled as I opened my new suede shoes. He's out there, hiding, that ************ old man Christmas. Hiding and trying to make me change, make me surrender my joy to the jaded state of adulthood. I will not.

I’m curious about your experience of time. Do you feel like life is moving really quickly? Is your music one way to sort of turn it over and reflect on it? WILLOW SMITH: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that’s how I know it doesn’t exist. JADEN SMITH: It’s proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It’s relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in. How have you gotten better? WILLOW SMITH: Caring less what everybody else thinks, but also caring less and less about what your own mind thinks, because what your own mind thinks, sometimes, is the thing that makes you sad. JADEN SMITH: Exactly. Because your mind has a duality to it. So when one thought goes into your mind, it’s not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When you’re thinking about something happy, you’re thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple. It’s a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities. But for creativity: That comes from a place of oneness. That’s not a duality consciousness. And you can’t listen to your mind in those times — it’ll tell you what you think and also what other people think. WILLOW SMITH: And then you think about what you think, which is very dangerous. Do you think of your new music as a continuation of your past work? JADEN SMITH: That’s another thing: What’s your job, what’s your career? Nah, I am. I’m going to imprint myself on everything in this world. What are the things worth having? WILLOW SMITH: A canvas. Paint. A microphone. JADEN SMITH: Anything that you can shock somebody with. The only way to change something is to shock it. If you want your muscles to grow, you have to shock them. If you want society to change, you have to shock them. WILLOW SMITH: That’s what art is, shocking people. Sometimes shocking yourself. So is the hardest education the unlearning of things? WILLOW SMITH: Yes, basically, but the crazy thing is it doesn’t have to be like that. JADEN SMITH: Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to. WILLOW SMITH: Forever, ‘til the day that we’re in our bed. JADEN SMITH: Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty. WILLOW SMITH: They never want to do anything, they’re so tired. WILLOW SMITH: I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, “Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.” But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.

Ugh, humidity Pressing in Suffocating  Sticking to everything To you and me but not us, together This is not the good kind of sticking of skin on skin, nervous sweaty palm in nervous sweaty palm. This is the kind that just makes life uncomfortable and unpleasant But at least God has thought this through and gave us the rain to go with it Rain is beautiful Intoxicating Purifying I want to get drenched.  Soaked. I want to be free Rain is free. Ha, I'm not a poet, or a writer I'm just an overdramatic hormonal angsty teenage girl  that likes to put down her feelings in her phone notes And hopes that someone will read and understand  but at the same time  wants to remain  unknown.
