I'm tired of this shell
And this name
And the world spinning
The problem is that I need to shatter myself
And it just seems impossible
Like an equation that I can’t figure out without being unstoppable
Problem is, the issues grow longer like this infestation of words
If only I knew the answer to the question of why?
Then I would have just another key,
That would lead to another empty chest
Because there’s none for me, nope not a pair
Except for emptiness like two pits of despair
Can’t you feel through your metallic layers?
I don’t like wannabe robots
Even if all you’ve done is make a helmet out of a kitchen strainer
Bee hives don’t dance for nothing, honey!
And I'm buzzing with kinetic energy,
With nowhere to go but this shell
Solved are not my problems,
Of being fucking stuck
Either way I'm seen as an evil little fucker
Stuck like cling wrap to this plastic world
Seemingly unavoidable in every imaginable possibility that I can think,
With my eyes held wide open I can’t even blink
In this torturous place I can’t live forever
Even if I can call it my own
Even if it’s here forever
My need to have this shell shattered is strong
I want to feel it shake and shatter
Hear it crack down like pitter, patter, smash
Shell, hell, what's the difference?
I like the fire in the devil that melts my cold heart
Because I'm tired of this invisible prison cell
You, little flit flirt
Back at my window
From bad to good, my feelings you convert
The wind blows, blows, blows
Window, open, I still can’t hear you
Please stay
With you I think I’ll get through
My light of day
Everything, you give
I’ll saver
Die for you, or live?
If you ever need a favor...
You and I don’t have the clock,
Don’t rush
Love, my time torturously tick tocks
Me heart you better not crush
I will succeed
Still you come and go
Love me?
You taught me how to go with the flow
Though I am stressed more than a rubber band about to snap
I have you beside me which
Makes me think that I am the luckiest person to live
As I lay here tonight, staring at your back
I realize that you are better
Than any dream I could have ever dreamed
So beautiful I feel like I'm ruining you
You're like a good book
And I'm the gum stuck in between your pages
I will forever be very thankful that you like me
And puzzled
I just can’t comprehend why you would like this piece of abc gum
Maybe I can’t understand because I'm dum
Even though
You would argue with me all day about that
I'm sorry that I sometimes have a habit of staring at you
Its just, goddamn girl
How did you ever fall into me, out of everyone else
I find that I feel so fucking awesome
When my hand is in yours
Whatever mistakes I made that lead me to you I would make over and over again
If it meant that we’d be together
Wherever and
Forever
I no longer hope youwould just text me
Have you known the whole time that all of this was to happen?
Fallen out of love is exactly what I have done
Out of the k-i-s-s-i-n-g tree I have run
Of course in the back of my head I knew
Love, I do not miss you
With this relationship, I'm done!
You knew, didn't you?
But I was naive enough to let myself fall
I don’t have a hard time when I see you in the hall
Still, I can’t believe that I got over you
Hope is how I know I can do
You'd better not stay with her or,
Text her and tell her that you love her
Me without you is like a bladder without piss
Like it or not, it doesn't get better than this
You were such a bad boy
Did you never realize that I wasn't just a toy?
With this poem
Alex won't be upset
The boat left without you, you were too late
What would you do?
Just to chase your dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you jump into the water?
Would you do that even if you risked the chance of hypothermia, and just swim?
Does your dream fill you to the brim?
The bus left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase an easily broken dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you start running?
Would you do that with hurting side stitches?
Dreams can be b*tches
The train left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase your dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you try to follow the train tracks?
You’d never be able to keep up with the train
Dreams can take away your spoons, and drain
The plane left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase your already pulverized dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you drive?
You’d be late
Someone could steal your shattered fate
The team left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase you nearly impossible dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you push too hard and make yourself sick
Dreams can be d*cks
So what you missed your dream?, find a new one!
What do you think is fun?
Find one that you’re not too late for
Open your eyes there’s many doors
Protect you dream with your life, with the fire in your eyes, you’ll never get stuck
To life’s troubles you can just say f*ck!
The word “I” is pretty lonesome
The word lonesome is not as lonely as I
I am lonely with myself
I lost myself again, I see…
I might have just have been lost at sea
Where will I find me?
Do you ever think about me?
Did you erase me from your memory because it was too painful?
I still miss what you threw away
I took the trash out Tuesday night
And I missed you Wednesday morning
I found a song that reeks of you
I almost went to the dump to look
All I found was a clean brook
I don’t think I knew you, before you turned into a sad crook
In that brook, I tried to baptized myself in the cleanliness and got a little lost
And sometimes I have a hard time putting on my holey socks
And sometimes I forget about the locks
I is lonesome
I need guidance; I can’t learn from trash
I'm better off lonesome
Streetlights changing
Shooting me into the past
Watching small raindrops collect
While I cannot collect my thoughts
Making it look like the glass is chipping
Until the windshield glasses over in a mosaic
Feeling the cold slipping in but I don’t mind
Feeling a shiver creep up my back
Reminding me of you
I take a breath
And I grab my bag and pretend that I'm putting on my armor
Suiting up
To go riding on a drunken horse, slipping on mud
While holding my breath underwater
And the English have longbows
It’s raining arrows that point me in the wrong direction
This is night
This is what I wanted
Now that I have it
I miss the struggle
Hot tears could set this place on fire
All these flame flame flames
Who aim aim aims
These flame flame flames
At me?
But even if this place burned down
It would lack lack lack,
You, come back come back come back
I lack lack lack
The part, of my heart that you took
I've become so hot that I'm blue
Into my life you came came came
Do you think this is a game game game
The way that you came came came
And left me
You left me with hope that has evaporated
You had hope hope hope
To keep this boat afloat float float
I want that beautiful hope hope hope
Sos
I know that I'm just wasting paper thinking that we shall meet again
Life just seems lame lame lame,
Without you, do you feel the same same same,
About this being lame lame lame
Amy?
Do you really want to know what gets me out of bed in the morning?
Fucking lies
I tell myself that I'm okay
But I'm secretly anticipating, and bracing for your goodbyes
How's life?
When my life is good, it's a fake kind of good
But I'm alright
I miss being in the woods where I once stood
Was I really ever there?
I think I was born guilty
Yet I know I'm always fine
My skin is filthy
I can't sleep,
Because of a haunting childhood
I'm seriously okay
I'd give it all up for poetry if I could
I don't want you
It's too late
I'll survive
I'm forced to carry a heavy slate
I secretly enjoy it
This way I'm free
I'm still alive
So for now, as I always am, I'll just be
That moment when you can't get the pencil to write
When the paper bites
Writer's block
Is worse than getting stuck with your brother's smelly sock
Too many thoughts on my mind
I need to write so I'll know I'll be just fine
Into a ball I want to curl
I need to stop hiding from the world
The moment you are so numb that nothing helps, not even music
I know I have the power but I'm afraid to use it
It would just cause me trouble
Make my world as I know it crumble
You start to think
At writing you stink
You don't want to write it all
Can't risk another fall
You are plain 'ol stuck
Wishes on shooting stars for better luck
What you don't realize is that it's all there
You need to take the dare
Too many thoughts yet at the same time I have an empty head
So for now I'm off to bed
This is the story of my life
I get too much love
Too much
And I’m just not built to hold it
Perhaps I was built for the low life
But sometimes I get too many punches
Too many
And I’m just not built to hold your knuckle sandwich
I’m starting to think I wasn’t made for loving you
I’m too full of hate and anger
Too full
And I’m just about to take it out on you
Because you have too much love
You’re too clingy
Too clingy
I’m not built for you to suck away my life like the leech you are
The more you latch and attach yourself to me the more you repel me
Too much death
Too much
And it has and is currently surrounding me
Along with the presence of a rock and a hard place
Too much love and too much party punch
Too much,
To ever digest
When will it end?
Or will it never?
It’s been too much
But I’m done caring about the past which has only been one extreme to another like,
One foot in a bucket of ice and another in fire
Too far on opposite sides
Too far
They do not balance out in a nice way
One extreme and the other one
Hopes and dreams too far
Too much,
Too far
Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.
