i glance
at this
clock because
this block
will never
stop
oh how
i hate
this frickn
clock that
only ever
shifts when
i dont
stare and lift
my hands
to my
head where
these thoughts don’t
fit
oh my god
where is my
sanity
all i have left
is profanity
i need to
purge myself
of vanity
and
focus
focus
focus
on this clock
that prevents
me of thought
oh what i
would give
to not
live in this
twisted plot
where tears
fall
and fears
stall
and ears
hear all
they should
not
but i cry
nonetheless
maybe if i
die i can
finally shed
the stress
against the wall
here we
go
i sit and let
the demons
call
call
call
my name
to play
their game
but i cannot
blame these
voices give
me the
shame
for what i
create in
this ******* up
head
only adds
to the dread
that follows me around
invisible and
without sound
but still
it drives me
into the ground
what would
happen
if i drowned
in this misery
oh why do i
try to find
victory when
all i ever
win is
self-inflicted injury
another
cut
cut
cut
makes me
feel somewhat
at peace
nevermind the
blood but
the marks might
draw attention
gotta cover
up not to mention
lie
lie
lie
im alright
didnt sleep
last night
im just
tired
tired
tired of
this fight
that just might
end me
what will
come free my mind im
floating at sea
calm breeze
my
thoughts tease
me
hope flees
and again i am
left to sit
and grit
my teeth
as class continues
i want to
hit
hit
hit
my head
against
the wall
the bell
sends me
into shock
i glance
at the
clock
as my body
begins to
walk
walk
walk
out of this
hellhole
I have worked
hard for
this
freedom though
i know
it will go
as i return
for school
tomorrow.

I planted my tree in a marvelous place with greens
I watered my tree with tears of happiness and love
Everything I did to it came from the bottom of my heart
The dirt was rich and full of nutrients and the birds came to sing songs every day
The kind words I shed made the tree sprout new leaves
A second later delicate flowers bloomed
A day later fruits dangled heavily from the sturdy branches
but
but you killed it
you murdered my child
you murdered the work of my life
you murdered something that was full of life
you threw down stones of hatred and anger
you hurdled your stress and burden down to my little tree
you...
you
YOU
killed it with your words and with your actions
You caged my tree with wires and sharp thorns
I will condemn you until you feel the wrath of God
even if you tried to break me down with something I treasured
My tree
My sweet little tree
will rest and fulfill my heart forever
So remember
I will frickn abominate you until you free my tree
This poem was something that mirrored my past
