"spirling" poems - Hello Poetry

Skin You have the same skin throughout your whole life Yet how is it possible to feel like you’re not in your own skin? This is not me But yet here I am in front of the mirror Layers and layers they pile on Tears stream down my face for I don’t recognize myself anymore. Tempted to cut it all off But then they will see See how much pain I’m in And I can’t handle that. I can’t handle any of this My life is spirling out of control and all I can do is just stand here Looking at the mirror wondering where I went And if I’ll ever come back

Skin You have the same skin throughout your whole life Yet how is it possible to feel like you’re not in your own skin? This is not me But yet here I am in front of the mirror Layers and layers they pile on Tears stream down my face for I don’t recognize myself anymore. Tempted to cut it all off But then they will see See how much pain I’m in And I can’t handle that. I can’t handle any of this My life is spirling out of control and all I can do is just stand here Looking at the mirror wondering where I went And if I’ll ever come back

Years away A pen put down A dream lost A friend forgotten Now I find them And lift them up Life ongoing World spirling Love returning Like rewriting Hello old friend And welcome home

A dance of pull and push back A fist encircling a heart Clutching, Squeezing Power on one side Pleading on the other Out of control My stomach feels sick My mind blank Grasping toward where you were Spirling into past comforts Delusional daydreams Days become memories as they happen Irrefutable anger Violence on the body A mind of blame and contortion You lay out boxes I can’t fit into Telling me to get in I can’t breathe, but you tell me to melt like water and flow. All I ever wanted was some pull from you Acceptance and patience of my becoming But all you know how to do is push back.

Can't love me as I am

A dance of pull and push back A fist encircling a heart Clutching, Squeezing Power on one side Pleading on the other Out of control My stomach feels sick My mind blank Grasping toward where you were Spirling into past comforts Delusional daydreams Days become memories as they happen Irrefutable anger Violence on the body A mind of blame and contortion You lay out boxes I can’t fit into Telling me to get in I can’t breathe, but you tell me to melt like water and flow. All I ever wanted was some pull from you Acceptance and patience of my becoming But all you know how to do is push back.

There was a sense of ultra violet and blue knowing my love for her was true. With sensations of my desires tore through my aspirations of my heart. As it beated with a infatuation. While her geniousness of her mind. Stopped my world from spirling into the abyss. As I found only the perceptions of her trust. With no disceptions of our passions as we turned young to old then to dust. Feeling me with a burning sensation deep in my soul. With temptations kiss that's when I knew her love for me was my only wish.

Temptations kiss

There was a sense of ultra violet and blue knowing my love for her was true. With sensations of my desires tore through my aspirations of my heart. As it beated with a infatuation. While her geniousness of her mind. Stopped my world from spirling into the abyss. As I found only the perceptions of her trust. With no disceptions of our passions as we turned young to old then to dust. Feeling me with a burning sensation deep in my soul. With temptations kiss that's when I knew her love for me was my only wish.
