Writing Prompt

I read an article,

About emotional abuse in friendships and it

reminded me a lot of you.

I showed it to my mother and she said

The resemblance was scary.

For a second I thought about unblocking your number

Just to send it to you,

Caption it “It made me think of you”

And then block your number before I could get a response.

But I didn’t send it,

Cause I won’t cause a scene.

And while moving on is ...

“I need a savior?”

Well no one can save you.

You’re in the darkness now,

so no one can hear you.

Scream if you like.

Then see what will come through

See what will reach out

Poke it’s face and surprise you.

So mole over this mystery.

Hope that it hunts you.

Let it make you sweat.

As I choke on you viciously

And feast on your flesh.

But if you want to get rid of me

Better point to the next.

Ca...

Peace is a rarity

A phenomenal tranquility

I wish this were just a poem

But I’m afraid it’s reality

World is spiraling

It’s a monopoly

Sometimes I wonder

How I breath while suffocating

It’s gotten worse

Yeah I can tell ‘cause it hurts

To write another poem

From my bed-like hearse

I wish I could get over it

Gosh I’m an idiot

I wish I’d pick a side

Dead, or living like a piece of shit

I wish...

Amelie is used to nightmares.

They range from being unrealistically scary like an unknown monster chasing her to being realistically scary like losing all her friends.

When she was younger, her nightmares terrorized her. She would wake up in a start and then crawl into bed with her parents. They would tell her that they don’t mean anything. They are just nightmares.

But they were wrong. Night...

When all you have felt is hate

You push away the love

When all you have done is fallen

You don’t expect to fly

When nightmares are all you’ve ever known

Dreams are terrifying

And so I don’t dream

I don’t love

I don’t fly...

Nightmares

full of shadows and serial killers

Fear and Danger

terrorize me

Yet they are familiar

Become my friends

I come to expect them

when I close my eyes

Dreams

Full of hope and lost people

so fleeting, too short

Hurt way more

I’d much rather have nightmares

I miss my friends

Fear and Danger

I’ve come to know them

Sometimes the familiar

is the biggest comfort

even if it isn’t ideal

or posit...

When nightmares are all you've ever known

Deep scratches in your back

lick the blood clean away

"That's gonna leave a mark tomorrow"

Frozen peas over your right eye

Rope burn because you played too rough

Ugly, Selfish words running through your head

Claws litter scars across my ribcage

Leaving ugly spots flesh pink

Dreams can be a truly frightful thing

The final sigh. A deep chuckle

Your eyes sto...

“Ok so! There are 2 things I remember from my childhood. I just don’t remember realizing it would be about me. First, I remember my mom. She would always have this almost sad or scared look in her eye and she’d say “Dreams are a complicated hive of things that will happen, could happen, and have happened woven together with little bits of fiction.” She only spoke of this when I was 4 or 5 years ol...

Heart beats loud in my chest

adrenaline hammering me in

ha, I like the chase

I feel them tiptoe,

closer, though silently

its too much excitement to handle

Blood on the floor

screams of my own

I can't tell what's bad or good

when the knife

could easily be in my hand too

or, it's more laughing

more words directed to

stab

in my heart

just as painfully

as the silver toy

or the silver

isn't ...

My overthinking mind,

Fills in the aching silence.

My head failing to unwind,

Struggling to find balance.

Inventing imaginary slights,

To bring all against my heart.

I can’t help these flights,

That tears me all apart.

Why should you have anything against me,

My head hurting what’s real.

I wish my mind would stay free,

And not put weight on what it is to heal.

My head will hurt,

My heart even m...
