My world is sinking in
Ankle-deep
And skin, too thin.
Trapped in solitude,
Surrounded by multitudes,
Misunderstood
Left unprotected,
Left too corrected.
Caught in a dream world,
Not here, not there.
Nowhere.
Bullet in my head,
Swinging from a tree,
Buried six feet under,
Why won’t she die?
Â
Ripped and broken,
Torn a sunder,
With a heart like hers,
It’s a wonder.
Let her wander,
In the desert,
Through the mud,
There is no water,
Only sun..
Breaking chains,
Breaking free,
Still feel bound,
To every day.
Breaking hearts,
Broken mind,
Breaking promises,
Need to unwind.
Breaking faces with fists of iron,
And suffering the consequences
From whence they burn.
Time to sleep,
Time to die,
It’s better than this,
Unable to cry.
Foundering in my thoughts,
Left to think,
It’s a crime,
To plot to murder yourself
For less than the dime
You found in your wallet,
Hidden in your pocket,
Hidden in your mind.
Her wings are broken.
And I still have thoughts,
left
unspoken.

I love love love writing poetry also 🙂 I’ll post one up soon! So what problems are you having ?:/ what made you join this
I am mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. I’m tired of people in my life only being there when it’s convenient for them or when I have something they want. Im so alone. I can’t seem to ever meet anybody that understands me at all. Being called weird, eccentric, odd- doesn’t bother me, unless it comes to a point where I am ostracized. I’ve been told, “You scare me.” I hate that with a passion deep within my soul. I am an outcast even to the outcasts. The punchline of a joke. After I dropped out of art school I seemed to lose intrest in everything besides food. I’m 27, still living with my parents. I can’t seem to function as an adult- and trust me. They don’t make it easy for me. On a daily basis I’m bombarded with how irresponsible I am. I can’t hold a candle to my brother. He’s a good Christian man with a wife and four kids. A staff-sargeant in the Air Force. I’m their androngynous, pot-smoking other child with an affinity for tarot cards and video games. I feel like nothing but a disappointment. My heart has been gnarled and twisted to the point that I don’t feel anything anymore. I was the kid who could only seem to find connections with people through the internet- they were the parents who thought it was unhealthy and took it away- which of course left me with no one. I’ve gone through a spiritual journey in the last 13 years and there have been more downs than ups. I just want it to end, to be free. I’ve tried to get away. I’ve moved out at least 5 times, 3 of those times was kicked out for simply dating someone of the same gender. I feel isolated in the world I live in. I have a tendancy to fall in love too quickly, before I even really get a chance to know the person, and it has always ended in a broken heart. What about you?
I am so sorry but let me tell you this, I myself am an outcast too. I have one through similar things as you. It’s okay for you to be gay it’s okay for you to be different. Having your own self image is what makes a person beautiful. And you know what, you may think you are weak but you’re not. You go through the same pain everyday but you’re sill here. Do you realize how much stronger that makes you? My issue is my self esteem I cry myself every single night just hating myself I’m not ugly I’m not stupid I just can’t help but to feel worthless and useless I hate being around people im not antisocial but I hate friends I guess i like to be alone which is my problem
I am not gay, or straight, or bisexual. Sex, just doesn’t interest me. But I still long for an intimate companionship with another person. Are you a misanthrope or just a loner? I know that I am a much stronger person than most people. Everything that’s happened in life- I’m sure most people would have offed themselves long ago. I’ve just been sticking around hoping it will get better- it hasn’t. I’m still debating whether or not to do it. I leave for my trip on Wednesday. I have until the 6th to know whether or not I have the balls to take the plunge. The thought of it all makes me scared, yes- but… I’m more scared of having to deal with this over and over again. A wild animal like myself can’t tolerate cages. In my case, I am ugly. Even if somebody gives me a compliment, it pisses me off. I’m not jaded in any way- I know what I am and what I’m not. I place no value in beauty. If someone is going to like me, its going to be for who I am. I do hate what I look like. If I were a fairytale character, I would be the Beast. Im skeptical that you hate friends, because you’re here- making friends. Maybe you just hate the kind of friends door mats seem to attract. I only say that because people have to be the type to get walked all over to find themselves in this particular place.
@Nephillim_Sancti, I am interested in the spiritual journey you mentioned, can you tell me more about it?
Sure… you may want to grab a cup of coffee or something. This might be lengthy. 😛 Well, I grew up in a southern baptist Christian home. I was raised by the book, disciplined by the book- and even swore by it until my journey began. I was always interested in all religions of the world but at the same time- I was the type of zealot who believed whatever they were told. I’ve always spoken my mind- combine that with my right to free speech and you have what one would call, holier-than-thou. From about 7th grade to 12th grade I would preach the “good” word whether you wanted to hear it or not, immitating what I had seen my entire life. In the 12th grade a large group of people from different parts of the U.S. and other places, but mostly AZ came to our school called Elijah Generation. They put on some freakishly cool theatrics. I wanted nothing more than to be a part of it all. They had charisma. They could act, sing, and dance. They were the same organization known by another name, Teen Reach. I went to their church service that evening, it was unlike anything I had ever seen- they were even putting on shows there! Modern age liturgical dances. I became, “saved” from my “sins”. I traveled all across the U.S. with these people, handing out phamplets, putting on shows, ect. They decided to set up a church in our area. I would sing and dance, and “speak in tongues”. One day, something in me changed and I realized I did not believe any of it. It was all an act that I used to grab attention or feel important. I stopped going, so did other people. A few years later I found out the leader had been arrested for fraud. I didn’t see it at the time, but it was a cult. We had 19 principles we had to follow- the 10 commandments, plus 9 more that tacked on (as if the others weren’t enough.) We weren’t allowed to listen to secular music or do anything without one of their youth leaders present. We could only eat certain foods… ect.
After they left, I went off to college, where of coarse I experimented with- everything. Had my heart brutally murdered, fell into a deep depression and tried to O/D on Paxil and 2 bottles of Nyquil.
Blah, blah, blah- more depressing shit happens for a couple of years- I start looking for metaphysical answers. Bought my first deck of tarot cards and they eerily hit the nail on the head about my situation.
I delved into more complicated workings, like astral projection. I have successfully done it once. I awoke to a sleep paralysis. My brain was awake but I couldn’t move my body, wiggle a finger, or open my mouth. And I just rose up and looked around. Everything was a feint blue and green color… almost like you were in a mist. An enormous tree was growing through the middle of my room. I looked to my right and on the wall was some strange elaborate sigil. It lasted about 15 seconds, and I woke up. I would have thought it was a dream if not for one small detail. I knew nothing at all about sigils while projecting. I had never read anything about it. So after a little time searching through google, I found that sigils act as barriers that you cannot pass without first reaching a higher plane. That was 2 years ago. I have since been unable to go back. I learned that animals that appear in my dreams, act as my guides.
I used to dream every night and could remember them vividly.
I would like to do more to further my journey- but I lack the resources and wisdom.
All I know is for certain: Why dream about it… when I can ditch this plane of existance and go where I would much rather be.
