Life has its ups and downs

Why is it always down

I can’t find an up

And somehow it keeps getting lower

Why can’t it stop

I think the same thing every morning

Why can’t my thoughts,

My questions be answered

I just want to know something

I can’t get answers

I want to be done with life

So does my brain

So does my body

Why can’t it just stop...

You've gotten sloppy;

Your poems don't read like they used to.

Hand sanitiser, drying up.

What use have you for being clean?

Or maybe you should down it.

Tell me why

You only write when your lungs are

Asbestos and dynamite.

So you can spill onto a screen

Your godless coughing, and

Un-literary prowess?

Whispered screams

And puppy eyes,

You're barking mad.

When did you forget what poetry is?

Why...

Everything I touch shatters

The fire in my eyes turns it to ash

My heart is a rock, it was turned to stone.

I should stop touching things

They may stop breaking

But then how do I survive?

Stand back!

Don’t come any nearer.

I don’t want to break you too…

Oh my darling,

Oh my sweet child,

Oh my love.

Must you be confined to such pain?

Have I trapped you in that prison,

The prison of your mind?

...

frozen in devotion,

angel of self death,

sword and wings ablaze

wretched in repose,

veins twisted open,

somewhere between faith and praise

salt burned wounds,

ash in the east,

riddled with stone built days

the rapture comes,

alone i am raised....

i don’t know what to do

i wish i knew

what used to bring me so much joy

became building blocks for you to destroy

i put myself on a silver platter

all for you to push me down after

i need a new sight

to show me how to fight this fight

im done with these expectations

like i am one of your presentations

i don’t want to be shoved in this mold

but one mistake turned into a scold

i met the s...

Are we completely unaware?

A species so lost in time,

Stuck in an endless game; where all we can do is take,

Whilst praying we don’t make another mistake.

Perhaps we care more about our hair.

We bicker and fight,

It’s like a blight.

When does it end?

Maybe when we ascend ?

I think you should sit in your chair.

We will never ascend whilst the planet bleeds,

It’s littered with your misdeeds.

You d...

Lips Soft, blushed, slightly open

Directed at you

See if you can

Get them moving

See if you can

Get them wanting

Lips curving, warmly smiling

Unconvinced.

You tried.

These lips

My lips

Blow you away....

The man donates to charity, how could he be corrupted?

He’s an inventor.

He’s a creative young soul.

He’s just a kid.

What damage could he do?

Who cares if homes are being destroyed?

We love him. We love his company. We love his products. He’s making us happy.

**I need this product to be happy.**

I didn’t know. It’s not my fault.

Let’s all blame the man for blinding us.

The man is resp...

(Tw: SH)

I want to destroy

Myself.

I want to skip assignments

Until I have awful grades.

I want to cut myself

Until I hurt.

I want to rip out my hairs one by one

Just so people will see someone else.

I want to follow the normality

Then glitch the fucking game.

Do you know why I cut myself?

Not because I think I deserve it.

I’m past the point of knowing exactly who I am.

I used to think that I wa...

The flames lick the walls,

The beams start to buckle,

Photos bubble and burn.

This place was a home,

A haven of memories,

Now charred to a crisp.

Beds made for sleeping,

Food on the table,

Everything gone with a spark.

The sound of the wood,

Eaten by fire,

Crackling into the earth.

The sun starts to rise,

On a smoldering husk,

The smoke is all that remains....
