"cofused" poems
My mood keeps changing
rising and falling with the tide
It leaves me cold and wet
lost and cofused
angry
I can't keep my fire controlled
the wind blows and it whips
down the hill
engulfing every tree in flames
It leaves me hot and scared
guilty and alone
empty
I can't keep the sun on my side
I keep losing my way
she shies away from the challenge
and so I live in the darkness
and it leaves me tired and helpless
hopeless and longing
isolated.

Indecisive excusing behaviors and believing against hope
prayers or wishes
***Didn't know
couldn't fathom
I'd be rejected then imprisoned***
Cofused misleading
implications await this bitter bed
Black roses & blistering thorns
crowned the conquered queen
*Mangled chains tearing chaffing swollen wrists
Ankles held fast on this tainted flea infested bed
An ***** haze clouds all around no sounds forth coming
drugged induced
intoxicating lazy lulled senses
Heart's slowing down
No one can help
caught trap and stuck
"Love's" captured me again
but little does he know
I'll be dead before
the sun's first glow

Stooped down for a stupor moment
I found myself in an eerie silence
Many may call this as discernment
But this is when my cofused heart hearkens
I'd never thought I'll face a lot
I'd never thought I'll hear countless voices
I'll never thought I'll be laughed at
Never thought I'll be swallowed by darkness
Again, agonized by silence
Dumbfounded by the staggering amount
Of dumbness and speaking conscience
Dumb to realize no answers were found.

I used to write when a pen and ink were the tools we used
but
then I got cofused by predictive text
(which never worked then)
did it?
so now if there is a now or is it then? when I have this existential crisis
I have no pen to poke my eyes out or scribble words out or rip a scripture on papyrus,
there's just us
declining yet advancing
in our years
reclining in the armchairs
climbing up the
back stairs
I used to have shares in this
now
I'm a part of it
don't let them sell you **** and
call it jello,
that's my advice for
what it's worth
