Notes tighten the headphone noose around my mind

Hang me on the wired gallows
Define my time through red wine and hollow songs
Screaming among me

Chords like choking chloroform cover my ears,
Drown the fears

Syncopate and reverberate
Don't make the mistake this time
of drowning under my own weight.

Smother my infectious insecurities
And laugh with me.
Let the rhythm serve as a jury.
Pull me into comfortable apathy.


Songs like shotguns splattering self doubt against this screen,
Its retrograde and mean.
But it's the only tangible thing it seems.

Ready the rock 'n' roll revolver!
6 rounds to ecstasy.
***, drugs, and skin smoulder

Bass-encased bullets blasting rounds on replay,

Swallow the shells
Cough up gun powder
Spit greased teeth
Rinse and repeat
This is a spin on a previous poem I did. My best stays spun <3
**** the hatchet,

Bury this ********.
Notes tightening the headphone noose around my mind,

Hang me on the wired gallows!


Chords like choking chloroform covering my ears,

Smother my infectious insecurities!


Songs like shotguns splattering self doubt against this screen,

Ready the rock 'n' roll revolver!


Bass-encased bullets blasting rounds on repeat,

Annihilate these acidic anxieties!


Suicide solo

Sing me into reverie

*Bury me!
~I play Russian Roulette on shuffle~
Meanings mull within mulish minds

Letters like lingering halitosis

Words waft with each exhale


Sentences,

swirling, sliding, sighing

Phrases pant per pulmonary systems


Tumbling through teeth,

Vocabulary resonates outward

Into the stagnant air


Permanence spills over tongues

Word ***** condemnation

Speak your life sentence
Poem based on how our words are/can be our own crucifixion
You made it
You are doing so well
I'm so proud of you
You're doing it!
You're living your life
You are happy
You are safe
He loves you
He cares about you so much
You have no worries
Everything will work out
You won't feel like this forever
You will be okay
Let go of the pain
Let go of the hurt
Allow yourself to breath
Don't hate the body that holds you
You are a soul
You have a soul
Cradled in this body
There is a child that sleeps here
Child
Breathe
Let go of the hurt
He can't hurt you
Don't hide child
Smile
Be okay
Things are going to be okay I promise
You will wake up tomorrow
You will draw breath
You will live
It's okay to cry
Cry baby
Please cry
Let go of it all
And be free
Weight
I can't escape
Heavy on my chest
When did it become so hard to breathe?
Internal demands of perfection
Drowning in my thoughts
Anxiety
Wrecks havoc through me
I forgot what happiness feels like
This gripping
Clenched fist inside my chest
Just won't let go
