Every day seems the same
The voices won’t go away
They talk so fast and loud
Reminding me of my flaws
My worthlessness growing
Mind swirling, thoughts turn
They tell me how to escape
“Fight pain with more pain
Slit your wrist and hide away
Don’t let anyone find out”
I know they’re wrong but
They’re also quite right
So I cut my pain away
Tell everyone that I’m fine
Even when I’m dying in...
Every day seems the same
Swallow a handful of pysch pills
Open a mailbox full of medical bills
Measuring my life by insurance claim
Every tablet is money down the drain.
I clock into a job I can do with the blues.
Where all my coworkers live by Fox News.
And whisper about patients with needle tracked veins.
Mamas bring their babies to keep them alive.
I think about four months of missing my panc...
Every day seems the same
Get up, get dressed
Go about your day
And that’s the way
Things go
It seems so easy
For every one else
But their second nature
Is my second try...
A throbbing, pounding, at my temples. A deep, muscular ache behind my eyes. The light burns and the sounds deafen. And yet, I am fine.
My collection of medications, all to manage the symptoms, grow as a concerning lack of professionals show any concern. This is fine.
It’s the medication, you say, as if my life should be less comfortable because of my brain. As if I can will myself to overcome....
Every day the same
Let the night contain your dreams
Don’t give in to day...
Everyday seems the same
A tear
A cry
A somber little dame
In a world so full
Of hate
Of fear
She sat in a lull
The birds sang tweet, tweet
So sweet
So true
Danger at her feet
She lived in ignorance
In bliss
In innocence
Unaware of difference

Every day seem the same like a clogged up drain the same old Lame routine .
It’s like a tap left running , a constant dripping , leaving an overflowing amount of pain with ripples of fear invading the clear waters .
The filter is working overtime to remove each negative emotion , but with time it begins to lack consumed by the overwhelming stack .
I’m alone aboard a boat , crossing a restless ...
(I ultimately took out the “every day seems the same” prompt because it wasn’t adding to the poem itself, though this poem was very much inspired by the prompt nevertheless. I’m not sure if the spacing is working - I’m trying to have work on one side and home on the other. Needs to be tinkered with more, and the diction could be improved…putting it out there so I can revisit it later).
**Home**...
The same song plays
blasts in my ears
but it has some skips
Sounds a bit different
but still the same record
I hate repeating myself
and I think it’s because
I always had to with you
Over and over and over
Again and again and again
It feels like a lack of trust
I know it’s not
I’m just so tired
of doing this dance
of tiptoeing on glass
How can someone who thinks
they are wrong all the time
be ...
_Everyday seems the same _
_Monotonous captivity _
_Tedium activity _
_A struggle to stay sane_
_Misplacing our blame_
_Cursing the deity _
_Nothing to gain _
_Liberation was within me _...
