Time has passed and I'm not sure why I write anymore.
I repeat

and repeat

the same old lullaby
e t e r n a l l y

Until my words are dust, falling from my lips like the tears that escape from my eyes
And my heart is frozen and my body became stone

(I am a lost monument forgotten in the stormy sea)

Eight Thoughts About Nowadays

I. I have forgotten how to write Therefore I have forgotten how to exist. II. Life keeps tripping me every turn of the way And I keep slipping in these ice-covered roads III. My hometown is screaming during the night But I put on my headphones and try to sleep IV. People insist we don't care And the moment we show them we do They then try to discredit us V. My name means nothing to the world VI. Weeks go by and yet I still stand still Waiting for autumn to turn into winter VII. The cold seep into my bones And make me even more fragile than I already am (My heart is frozen and I shiver) VIII. "Make me a poem" they say I can't anymore I

Until I Collapse

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” - “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost Some might say that following your heart is foolish. Planning. Critical thinking. Weighing your options. These are the things they drill in your head at their earliest convenience. While it may be a well and good strategy for some people, other people not so much. I was one of those people. I grew up programmed to act a certain way. I was born nine years apart from my youngest sibling. At some point in my life I started feeling more like a science experi

Her Life

I saw her life in those eyes with cut-throat stares and withered looks of daze, each lid half open and their cores darted where they thought it was safe. Her pupils swirled as hurricanes with streaks of rain maroon across a razor blade. Sharing what words can't speak and luring in the sting of the day. I saw her life in that skin, painted with a tiny needle that could delve deeper in what she knew and who she was, then what. Like an apple tossed aside to rot darted across were plum-hue stains and beautiful scars, an abstract dance of healing and hurt. Covered in what she screamed, her body was masked in poetry, long-tol

Monster

I am not your little girl No pretty dresses and curls Anymore I am not that little child Who knew of nothing but smiles Evermore The years that have passed Left marks on the past And stained this clear glass Behind the storm blasts Now within a monster dwells Despite such attempts to quell This deluge Now inside there lives a fiend Whose sins cannot be redeemed No refuge The years on this path Have filled it with wrath Seeking a bloodbath Scorn all aftermath But maybe somewhere still That small girl holds the quill...

The Eternal Outcast

These are the words that have burdened me throughout my life. Their insurmountable weight forever entrenched in my conscious. Being denied since childhood that human warmth for which we all long for. Always the odd one out, always the last one chosen, the one no one wanted to play with. Reminded that a favor was given under the pretense of compassion. Indeed, children can be so mean spirited. And not unlike my childhood my adolescence was greeted with open arms by discontent. Never got the girl, always made fun of, shunned from the group like a waste of space. As I grew older my state of abandonment remained the same. They say that adulthood is synonymous with tolerance and acceptance but in the end society held me in the same level of contempt. Adults are more adept at concealing their resentment but you eventually learn to see through their smiles. Feigning politeness in the absence of choice with the occasional comment or gesture discreetly passed along behind my back with the

Beating

Hair plastered blotchy brow Torpedo-breath burgeons to blow Air whirrs - leaves crackle - shears the rattling branch clutched in a sweaty, swinging arm an unstoppable arc Eyes pinch shut right before- Slam! Hair brushed away: a modest shower: treebark, skin and dust. Breath released, the club skims listless down hanging target. Fingers test the swing: rockstill A sack of bowels and indifference the maggots keep on chewing on.

no happiness in misery

no happiness in misery (OR: My best friend died and I don't know what to do so I wrote a cento about it with Fall Out Boy lyrics) so, progress report: i am missing you to death, my best friend, dead and gone, and i want these words to make things right but i must confess, now that you’re gone, i try to picture me without you but i can’t, so now i’m just numb, bulletproof loneliness, wearing vintage misery, like i’ll never be the same, and i don’t want to forget how your voice sounds, (just off the key of sunshine riptide) and i need to keep you like this in my mind, wishing on every star, a cherry blossom about to bloom, the eighth wonder. and i could scream forever, as desperation takes hold, ‘cause i don’t know where you’re going, and i keep telling myself i'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday, and i’m so sorry how talking's just a waste of breath. it’s kinda funny, that everything i wish for will never come true. so i lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum. we
