It’s so damn cold here in my soul.
No one knows the horror
I’ve known. I feel the darkness
coming, it’s cold. It’s taking
over this hole in my soul.
I see all the Tortured souls, so easily.
“They’re crying out ‘Save Me,’
Screaming inside, bleeding and
Dying.”
They now wander around alone
in a zombie-like state only to
Eventually fall into a deep black void.
Then disappear into the darkn...
I need help.
There, I said it.
I need help.
I thought I was okay.
I thought I might be able to make it.
I thought I was getting better.
But I’m not.
I see that now.
For months I’ve been getting worse and worse,
Brushing off the dark thoughts when they crept into my mind.
But I think I finally realized recently:
Suicidal thoughts aren’t normal.
It’s not normal to look into every mirror and say, “...
I love you.
Love is a strong word to atone to,
especially for me,
knowing i once loved true,
then it crashed down,
burning and turning to something i once knew.
Love is a scary word for me,
Knowing how it beat me to my knees,
on a cold winter night,
Wondering “how can i love right?”
Love is a beautiful thing though,
how it binds to you,
How it morphs you back into the child you once knew,
feeli...
I do not know how to feel
I do not really know what to think
I am just sitting here on this sidewalk
Feeling lost, confused, not knowing what I should do
But just sit here
While thinking about what happened
And feeling so numb, so dumb
Just sitting here with so much nothingness
And yet, despite how awful I feel
With what has happened
There is this feeling
A feeling of sad happiness
It is somet...
I feel like lately
My poems have been
Nothing
Maybe because lately
I’ve been so much better
I felt real happiness
My depression has lifted a little
And my muse has gone away
Perhaps now I must write about
My mixed emotions
For I don’t always feel this great
And I don’t always feel this terrible
I have a new muse
But some how it’s different
Or is it?
I can’t tell
I miss creating masterpiec...
You don’t belong to me, you never have
But those days and nights are mine
Say I am selfish, say I am this or am that
Torn between going in peace and fighting for you
She has had you, but when you are here, you’re mine
The early mornings belong to me, but she has you at night
I could just ask you of what you want
But this would be too complicated
Should I? Would it lead anywhere?
Would it lead yo...
In the line: waiting,
Holding my backpack,
My heart beating fast,
But in a good way.
Singing along to the music in the background,
Cheerful?
Slowly moving foward…
Almost there…
In the plane: oh no.
The flashing lights,
Fill the sky,
My heart is beating fast,
Not in a good way.
Plug in my headphones to ignore the background sound,
Anxious?
It will end any time soon…
I hope…...
Can love and anger really coincide with each other?
Yes, yes they can. Sometimes though, if you ask me, the anger is stronger than the love.
If you allow yourself to be angry and hate, you’re covering yourself from the best feeling in life, love.
You start to forget the beautiful qualities within yourself, like your sense of humour, your kindness, your loyalty and your dignity. If you allow ...
Can I kiss you
Platonically?
I promise, just as friends
It will only take a second
You’ll forget it when it ends
I only want to tell you
In the best way I know how
You make my world seem brighter
And I need you in it now
You’re the piece of me that’s missing
You’re my flashlight in the dark
You turn weeping into laughter
You’re a neverending spark
I can call myself a po...
There is a black hole inside of my chest
He cannot see it, perhaps for the best
I am so unworthy of all of his light
Can a sunbeam ever love the Queen of the Night?
I’m damaged beyond what I want him to know
The achings I live with do nothing but grow
He’d vanish at once in the very hour
That the Queen of the Night showed the whole of her power
I am the serpent, disguised as a dove
Bringing not...
