I Will Survive

I did this, you can too.

A poem I wrote

by lostpoet 8/5/2024

written by lostpoet

I wanted to share something I wrote recently while in anguish about how my parents don’t accept me for who I am and the way I want to live my life (basically, different from theirs). It helped me feel better, and hopefully it will bring you some comfort too. Let me know if it does and I’ll post my other ones 🙂

The poem:

Farewell: Understand Compassion Kills

I fucked this paper

Tortured it

And malevolently ended its happiness.

(Because I couldn’t find anyone else to do it to.)

Fuck you.

That’s what I said

That’s what I did.

I yelled and yelled the way they had yelled at me.

My words:

Fucking.

Stupid.

Paper.

My sentences:

I despise you.

Get out […]

Zen-ith of Serenity

by zen 12/18/2023

written by zen

I’m driving across the USA and I’m having the time of my life. The planet is beautiful. It’s the serenity I deserve that I search for. You know what? All I feel is tranquility because the epicentre of my humanity is connected to a higher truth.

life sucks but it can get better

by eyefly6 11/27/2023

written by eyefly6

This society is so brainwashed and ignorant. They tell men that expressing emotions is feminine. Another problem is telling men ”what a real man is”. Men are not robots. We are human beings that deserve to be loved.

I never had a good childhood. I forgot many of my memories a long time ago. I’ve been suicidal for a long time but I can easily hide it. No individual will expect me to do it. Honestly. I never wanted to die. I just don’t to want live a horrible life.

My mom died of cancer(when I was 10) so her friend adopted […]

There is no meaning of life

by niki 9/15/2023

written by niki

There is no meaning of life. We just exist, and die. And life goes on, and on, and on. For million, billion of years, etc etc etc.

We are just a speck of dust in the vast universe, in the grand scheme of things.

Of course, 90% (or 99%?) of people (human beings) will always try to find or give ‘meaning/purpose’ in their own insignificant lives, because the reason is simple: it’s survival instinct. Human beings (people) will (usually) try to keep living, keep surviving, no matter what. It’s evolutionary. It’s in human nature.
Even if it means people (humans) will create anything as their toxic positivity […]

Shamanic Light

by zen 8/21/2023

written by zen

I called him up. After all these years of perseverating on our conflict and ego battle; after all that time and our last interaction that ended with him chasing me down his dust covered street with an axe in hand, he still wanted to see me heal. It was all love and he broke down in tears telling me that he was hoping we reconnected. After all this time he still thought of me favorably and held me in high regard. Our conversation eventually turned to working together again on my subconscious mind and chakra healing; the idea of having an ally in my corner […]

Dear younger me,

by Ophileon 8/13/2023

written by Ophileon

Dear younger me,

I know you’re hurting, I remember how it felt to live in the chaos that was our mind. You’ve been through way more than a kid ever should, and you’re scared. The people you call your parents let you down, time and time again. I know it breaks your heart to not feel loved by them. I know it hurts when those kids at school call you names, ignore you or hurt you. I’ll be honest, it still haunts me sometimes.

I feel so sorry for what happened to you when you were 12. He broke your trust and left a mark on you […]

How I’m Fighting

by TheG 7/13/2023

written by TheG

I haven’t been here in some time, and frankly yes things have gotten better, not because of fortune alone but because I confronted the fact, that nobody is going to help me out save me. I write here not to give some insulting life story of inspiration though. I write in here because we face the same foe, and it is a most formiddable and terrible abomnation. We are depressed…just as the system requires. For 10 000 years the leadership have been attempting control and destroy humanity but never before have they been so banded together (so far as we know). The past 200 years […]

putting myself back together

by heartlessviking 5/27/2023

written by heartlessviking

Metaphors are great, but they can also be opressive sometimes. Example; I had multiple issues with my current desktop to the point that I realized I should just build a new one. Which already, right there, that’s privilege. If something of mine breaks, I replace it, no hemming and hawing about budget, it’s part of my ecosystem, I make it happen.

Anyway, my implicit whiteness aside (can it ever be fully put aside? I doubt it), I’ve been working on this project since February, sometime in March was when I finally got all the parts and it’s just been sitting, waiting for me to get the […]

Exercise!

by oldscull 4/16/2023

written by oldscull

When someone has a simple (singular) problem, usually and logically there will be a simple solution. For example, there’s something in a person’s nose, they’ll sense an itch or tickle and naturally sneeze.

If that doesn’t resolve, they might next try self-help such as over-the-counter medicine.

Eventually, if their remedies fail, they will seek a medical professional, and then the medical care will bring healthy closure. But let’s say it gets worse, first prescriptions fail, then chronic sinus infections, etc. Usually, a doctor’s last resort is surgery—because of the inherent risks and not guaranteed final results. If all fails, then ultimately the health problem will lead to […]

You must just cope with the fact that you have a problem as long as you have a pulse. So fuck up everything and live the moment happily with people or without people.

My Story

by ceramicboy 2/16/2023

written by ceramicboy

I am a 22-year-old male. I grew up in an abusive house and was never shown what love really was. I did everything I could to stay away from home but was always pulled back by the threats. My dad said he would hurt my mom, my mom said she would hurt herself. Everything was put on me. I had to hold my entire family together while I was already falling apart. When I was eight years old I went walking down the street to my friend’s house (just a few houses down, not like my parents cared anyway) and the cop that lived across […]

When you hit Rock Bottom

by Burgerpatty 2/3/2023

written by Burgerpatty

What’s up gang, it’s burgerpatty.
I’ve been writing entrance exams for college recently and have been tanking them, I mean absolute abysmal marks.
I was a straight A student and now I barely pass, I screwed up my exams so bad people couldn’t believe the marks I was getting. But I’ve never felt this alive a light, I stopped cheating, these are the marks I deserve, it feels like some sort of atonement for all the things I did for marks.
I’m not giving up on myself, each day I wake up with motivation and am the happiest I have ever been.
As for college, […]

My own box of lie

by Itscolourlife 12/31/2022

written by Itscolourlife

I thought telling myself im getting better
Telling you im getting better
Will actually make me feel better
But its not
Its just makes me feel lonelier more than before
Trapped in my box of lie coating with happiness
Im so sorry i choose to left this way
But even if i ask and scream for help
You wont help me
You wont be here
Only my smile and cheerful side makes you happy
Makes you closer
Guess everyone loves the sunshine
But forget about the rain in the same sky

Anyone else feel forced to exist? ( theist)

by jeda 12/26/2022

written by jeda

I believe in the Biblical God. I’m just upset about the fact I’ve been brought into existence atall .I feel incompatible with it. I find this life insufferable but its not due to my current circumstance I have a job,family and friends but im still unhappy. I think its my childhood that ruined the will to live bit honestly but im tired of dredging up trauma i just don’t think its worth the hassle? Like what would i be healing for? To have a house some kids and a 9-5? Or maybe to travel the world? Make art or something. Sounds awful. Helping people could […]

HOPE

by butto_love 12/10/2022

written by butto_love

There comes a phase in our life where neither we can hold feelings nor let them go. We hopelessly love them without any conditions and even knowing they won’t love us back, we still love them holding all the broken pieces of our hearts….. but that doesn’t prove we are weak. Trust that phase …. it will make you stronger.

Through the ups and the downs…….

by EvilOni22 12/1/2022

written by EvilOni22

Life……it’s a complicated thing for many people. Some of it is brought on by ourselves, though some of it is thrown upon us outside of our control. Both good things and bad things work that way. Sometimes you have to take a step back to see the full picture to not get lost in the details, and sometimes you have to take a closer look at things to find your way through the forest. Balance won’t always be the same. The scales can shift. The weights can slide and you have to be ready for when they do. Not everything in the future is foreseeable […]

Gratitude is overrated

by niki 11/23/2022

written by niki

Gratitude is overrated, like many other optimistic/positive-thinking advices. Not everybody can do that. It’s unrealistic, and honestly full of BS (bullshit)

Gratitude has become today’s current hype which everyone seems to be doing, and even keep posting about it constantly on social media. Everywhere you see people always talk about gratitude (& with all other optimistic/positive stuff usually).

It becomes irritating however when gratitude is forced and shoved down our throats, as if everyone should (or must) do that. In reality, you can’t just force other people to keep showing gratitude constantly. Things happened, shits happened; problems, pain, & sufferings happen to some people, which is ridiculous […]
