Poetry

This disease feasts

On the ones I love

And if it likes them,

Brings them up above

I've watched it destroy

So many lives

They think they won't die,

But there's no second tries

It took my mom

From age sixteen

It stole away

Her life, her dream

It took many friends

Changed them all

And made me watch

Their lives crumble and fall

I hate it

I hate it

Please make it stop

Please let it go away

Stop, STOP

Poetry

The house of my mind
Is cluttered at best
Everything piled up,
Giving no rest

I try to clean up
But it never works
My house is always trashed
By a bunch of mean jerks

Cleanliness
Is not obtainable
And the uncleanliness
Is not sustainable. 

Poetry

Tomorrow is dizzying
Something that doesn't exist 
Something in the future,
Something that may not even exist

It's not promised
It may never come
In fact, tomorrow
Will never be for some

Time is taken for granted
And spent so foolishly
Don't take life for granted
Live happily.

Poetry

My brain

Moves at an unthinkable rate

Am I sane or not

In my current state

Overthinking every detail

I'm waiting for the train

In my brain to derail

Don't think, don't think

Is what I've been told

But my dreams are silver,

And my thoughts are gold

I can't stop the process

That kills me inside

Perhaps I've lost it,

From that fact I can't hide

I don't know what happened

I don't know what's wrong

But I know enough

To know I'm far gone.

Poetry

Keep walking

Don't stop

Don't look back

Now quickly, drop

Hide away

Beneath lock and key

Kept in a cage

So no one can see

Hide behind muscles

And live in the veins

Travel through me,

And pour out when it rains

Emotions, emotions

Cannot be contained

And when they release

No one else can be blamed.

Poetry

Whatever is there

Please show that you care

Pollution rots air

And war isn't fair

People are dying

Children are crying

Friends are lying

God, I'm done trying

War and religion

War for religion

War caused by religion

War

Religion

Death.

Poetry

You don't know me

You never have

If you think you did

Your judgement is sad

Stare me down

Like I'm the clown

Smile painted on,

But beneath is a frown

I'm so bad,

Yes I'm the fake

Beating myself up

For your own sake

Leave me alone

Please go away

I'm forgetting

You today.

Poetry

Red rose

Blue violet

Blue sky

Dark twilight

Falling leaves

Brittle trees

Cold ground,

Gentle breeze.

Poetry

Breathe in
Slowly inhale
Leave me then
Broken and frail

Priceless moments
Come and go
Is it real?
I do not know

The memory
Has slipped away
The happiness
Has begun to fade

Stab me now
Leave me dead
Leave me hanging
By a bare thread

Oh well
I guess I should be glad
There was some happiness
To be had.

Poetry

Tear me open
Leave me scattered
Blood on the ground,
Clothing tattered

Left abandoned
Left alone
I have no place
To call my home

Who am I
An empty soul
I have no way
To pay my toll

I'm slowly dying
But who am I?
The conscience of youth
The youth who don't try

Intelligence sinking
There is no longer thinking
My mind is shrinking
You're watching and blinking

Goodbye.

Poetry

Could you stop,
Just look at me
Take a moment
And you might see

There's a softer side to me
There's so much more that I could be
But I myself am lost at sea
I stole a ship, in attempt to break free

But these chains have held
No rust has formed
Though the thunder rolled
And the sea stormed

Waves came crashing down
Making an attempt to drown

I drift ashore
Always wanting more
What am I here for?
Am I searching for a cure?

I lay in sand
Reach for your hand

But it's not there
I'm chasing air...

Poetry

Broken promises

And broken trust

Golden rings

Are left to rust

You broke her heart

You tore her down 

You turned her smile 

Into a frown 

You led her on

Said you were true

But you're just scum,

That's nothing new

Superheroes 

don't exist

They're just myths 

To bend and twist

Wrap her round

Your finger well

And carry her 

Slowly into hell

The minor warmth

Becomes a burn

But you've a lesson

Still to learn

Do not touch 

My second soul

Or I will leave you

With no control.

Poetry

One, two
Three, four
Tic, tac, toe

Play the game
Of life or death
Or have nothing to show

X's and O's
Scattered everywhere
What's even left anymore?

Lines through
Trios
The whole world is being washed ashore

X's or O's
No matter which you choose
Both sides of a battle
Either way, you're going to lose

Kind of like life
A never-ending game
But with one wrong move
Things will never be the same.

Poetry

There's something to be said
About energy
Both negative and positive...

You're negative...
Subtracting sunlight
And adding the rain

Take away smiles,
And give all the pain.

You're positive
Taking away rain
And adding light to the lives of others
It's no mystery
Why we're good for one another.

Poetry

So this is who you are
Your colors showing through
If this is how it's going to be,
I'm glad I'm rid of you

Always switching sides,
Treason; 10th degree
Never staying loyal,
Making us all unhappy

Back stabbed,
Shit talked,
Yet you're surprised
That out we walked

You expect us to miss you
You made us stressed
Without you here,
We all feel blessed

Next time think before you act
And maybe your friendships will stay intact.

Poetry

I'm slowly losing my mind

Searching for something I won't find

Questions running through my head 

People who think I should be dead

I don't know anymore

I don't know anymore

Memories fading in and out

Leave me questioning and in doubt

Lost in a web of long lost lies

No one hears my battle cries

Friend who I once thought were true

Have left me here for someone knew

A twisted puppet master pulling strings

Making drama of everything 

Cut the cords and set yourself free

But don't come running back to me.

Poetry

I find it odd
How in the fall; leaves die
But they die in such bright colors
Red, orange, yellow and brown
Much brighter than the green of their life

Perhaps we too are like that
Becoming most colorful before we die
A living our life stuck in one shade
Only realizing that variety is better
When it becomes too late to try.

Poetry

I don't want to apologize
Not this time; you need to realize

Not everything you say or do
Is always right or always true

Your perception is clouded
And I'm the one who is doubted

A downward spiral,
A love that's gone viral

Your head is spinning
And your demons are winning

You won't listen to reason
But won't think twice about treason

Discard those there for you,
For only he will do

Say one thing wrong,
You can't just go along

Take thought to the matter
Let those memories scatter

Shatter the vase; break the glass
Let your feelings burn to ash

And blow away in summer breeze...
For he is just your heart's disease.

Poetry

Smile so big
Fly so high
Feathered wings
Up in the sky

Golden halo
Flowing gown
No devil
Could take her down

But Lucifer came
And tempted Fate
Helped her make
A grand escape

Into an illusion
A twisted dream
That turned to a nightmare
And made her scream

No escape
Her halo shattered
He stole her wings
So nothing mattered

Feathers clipped
She couldn’t fly
She didn’t understand
Why he made her cry

She was enslaved
With no way out
But she stayed loyal to him
Without a doubt

When the gates
Of Hell did rise
She saw the light
She saw his lies

She put on her broken wings
Grabbed her halo
Everything
And then she turned and flew away
For she had made new wings from pain.

Poetry

Another year has come and passed
How does the time go by so fast?
I wish that I could make it last,
But I find myself running from the past

Bridges smoldering behind me
I fear I've left a wreck
I've taken the ones I care about
And tossed them off the deck

They struggle in the water
But I won't extend a hand
For I'm already swimming
To where I see the land.
