New poem

by EnslavedByShadows
written by EnslavedByShadows

So I’m back after a long ass hiatus. I just kinda spit this out my brain so it’s raw and unrefined so bear with me. Going through a lot rn and needed to let it out. Lmk what you guys think I may go back to regular posting of my writing if you guys seem to like it..

Late at night
I’m kept awake
By every single mistake I’ve made
It’s not fair
That I
Have to suffer this fate
My life is all that’s left to take
I cannot bear the heavy weight
Of the monster I’ve become
With the Madness – all-consuming
And the dark clouds always looming
Why the hell am I like this?
It’s all so confusing
While the voices in my head
Tell me I’m better off dead
With a final blast of lead
I can fix eternal dread

Garbage Venting

by shatterediris
written by shatterediris

Speaking to you made me smile

With a joy so juvenile

Each sentence would make me laugh

I would cherish every paragraph

 

Even though we lived so far apart

You had a tight grip upon my heart

But now that it’s time for us to depart

Is when my pain truly will start

 

Hello, I’m the one who’s lost their smile

It’s been gone for quite awhile

Driven off by arguments and harsh words

It’s now gone, exactly what I deserve

 

 

I couldn’t sleep last night so I wrote a thing to try to help with that…. I hate it and it sucks. Yet I feel like sharing it because I should…. I haven’t shared a shitty poem thing for awhile.

cutters lullaby

by LostLittleGirl
written by LostLittleGirl

hush little baby , you’re almost dead

you don’t have a pulse and your pillow is red

your family hates you , your friends let you bleed

sleep tight with a knife , it’s all that you need

*

rockabye baby , broken and scarred

you didn’t know life would be this hard

time to end the pain that you hid so well

and down will go baby , straight back to hell

Death is in the eye of the beholder

by suffocated-samantha
written by suffocated-samantha

Beauty cuts the flesh of the beholder,

Nobody will ever notice the girl in the corner.

Knocking on her door; cloaks dark but he’s charming,

Death is more inviting than their warm arms.

Expectation Kills

by itsalladream
written by itsalladream

Expected for birth,

Expected for growth,

Expected to walk,

Expected to know.

An expectation that this is our lives,

An expectation to fall in line,

An expectation that this is all fine,

–

Expected until we die.

see you soon

by LostLittleGirl
written by LostLittleGirl

when i heard of your death

i picked up my knife

and cut at my throat

until i saw the light

*

i made a big mess

blood on the floor

smeared little handprints

all over the door

*

i wrote them a note

explaining my pain

said i couldn’t go on

that death was my aim

*

and guess what angel

i did it , just like you

so up in heaven

i’ll see you soon <3

Her

by blueKat
written by blueKat

I saw her from across the ocean
I saw galaxies in her eyes
Burning as time passed her by

I saw blooms in her smile
Joyfully promising lies
Dying as time passed us by

I saw a dream on her mind
Longingly dreaming of time
But time only passed by

I saw the tears she’d fight
Breaking and mending and kind
Her heart slowly healing with time

I saw the dawn of light
Blinding her image from sight
Time passed by, she’d be alright

I, Comatos3

by d3miurg3
written by d3miurg3

To climb out of the wreckage of lies, deception and willful betrayal and duplicity. To perceive who someone really is under their ingenuous disguise of innocent princess playing the victim. Covert narcissism runs deep in a traumatized mind. I’ll burn the whole world down to achieve my success and realize my nocturnal dreams to reality. I’ll be damned if I let the insidious lies of a miserably trapped, cognitively dissonant, neurotically insipid, and untreated psychotic disassemble my life. The fire inside of me rages with flames of pride, dignity, and truth of self. The distinctive I. I, Ryze. And I know the Creator. My I is one with the I of the Creator guiding my life.  The eternal flame feeding the infinite creativity intrinsic to my nature. I, comatose. Yet I, ryze despite the adversity, opposition and social control. The truth is a terrible thing and you hid too many secrets. My allegiance is to the eminent self, and the transcendent entity. Your allegiances speak for themselves in your poisonous actions, words, and doublespeak. Hidden behind your veil of delusions of grandeur, your grandiose ego and superficial machinations of a personality. Fuck you. I refuse to be held down. This is a declaration to MY future!

begging

by blueKat
written by blueKat

I’m begging you
stop
spare yourself the heartache
I’m begging dear
I’m a mistake
you don’t want to make
turn back
it isn’t too late

I’m begging you
stop
It’s still just a scratch
I’m begging dear
please heal
give yourself time

time to mend the cracks
time to forget the past
time to find a way
any other but the way back

Living with depression

by Insomnia disaster
written by Insomnia disaster

Depression creeps upon you quietly.
At the very beginning you struggle with the little things, but usually, choose to ignore them.
It’s like a headache.
You’ll tell yourself it’s temporary and it’ll pass.
It’s just another bad day.
But it’s not.
You are stuck in this state of mind.
You get used to putting on a social mask and you continue to live among other people because that’s what you have to do.
That’s what others do.
However, the problem does not go away.
You struggle to put on a play every day and it starts to cost you more and more.
That is why you fall even deeper and that’s when you slowly start to back away from friends and family, sometimes completely shutting them out.
All satisfaction is gone.
The little things that used to bring you joy are now worthless.
Even the simplest tasks become painful.
And that is why you lack motivation.
Now… Why would you keep on trying if nothing makes you happy anyway?
All of this makes you feel even worse and you get caught up in a vicious circle.
Suddenly you find yourself living in slow motion.
Days become indistinguishable…
Just white noise, just… heaviness, filling your mind and spilling over your body.
You feel as though you’ll never be happy again.
You continue to back away and destroy relationships.
You’re ashamed for everything you’ve done and everything you haven’t.
There is a part of you that wants to make things right.
A sudden positive upsurge makes you want to go out and meet people but… it’s all very short-lived because you know it won’t work anyway.
Things that make your friends excited leave you indifferent and you become aware of the huge gap that lies between you.
Another failure is not an option, so in the end, you choose to be alone in your comfort zone where no one asks any questions.
The low self esteem and the lack of purpose become unbearable.
You finally realize you can’t go on that way and two things can happen:
You either decide to get some help or you…. might attempt a suicide.

let me go

by blueKat
written by blueKat

Let me go
don’t be selfish
don’t you see
this is what my hell is

Let me go
let me end it
I’ll disappear without a trace
accept it

Let me go
don’t follow
see the world
embrace it

Let me go
and please, be selfish
let the sunshine in
this needn’t be what hell is

Help me please

by Insomnia disaster
written by Insomnia disaster

Hello?
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
I’m screaming for help
Please help me
I can’t see anything
I don’t know where I am

Help me find myself because as time goes by I feel more lost

What Really Love Is?

by SkyButBlue
written by SkyButBlue

Back in High School, there was this girl that i like, like A LOT or should i say I LOVE HER. She’s pretty good looking, athletic and the coolest girl that i know but she was out of my league, that’s the problem. I’m this skinny not good looking guy. Like I’m the complete definition of a NERD. But i didn’t care. I had to gather all this guts to prove to her that I can be the GUY for her. I want her to like me. I heard she had a boyfriend and then they broke up. I know it was a good opportunity for me but i don’t want to be that guy, you know what i mean. So i waited for months. Time come and i talked to her and told her what i felt. She told me that she ‘s not ready to have a boyfriend. So i told her that i can wait and i did my best for her to like me. What i did was I save some money even i have a lot of projects and school expenses but i didn’t give a fuck. I bought her chocolates, flowers, and shirts during valentines day and Christmas. I even come to her house to give her presents like cakes and stuff. I thought i’m doing good but i was wrong. I failed. I felt dead at that time. Like my life and world shattered.

Time passed, i get to realize that you cannot make someone love you. LOVE is not about giving or buying someone stuffs. Love is about telling someone you love her and if she doesn’t feel the same way, accept it. I get to the point where i realized that love cannot be rushed or forced. Love is about having someone who feels the same way like you do. I realized that i’d rather be alone for the right reasons than be with someone for the wrong ones. I really love her. I LOVE HER STILL but her happiness is what matters most to me. After that, we went to college and i never felt the same feeling like what i have for her. She has a boyfriend now and i heard they’re doing good. I don’t hate her for that. I guess i couldn’t, ever. And i don’t lose hope that there’s someone out there for me, who will love me back as i much as i love that person.

wondering.

by winniethepooh
written by winniethepooh

i wonder why life isn’t fair i wonder if this is what i deserve i wonder if my happiness is too much to ask for i wonder if my sanity is unattainable i wonder if you ever wanted me i wonder if you ever loved me i wonder if you were ever proud of me i wonder if you ever saw me as a person not a problem i wonder why you went to bed after i sobbed to you on the phone i wonder why my life sucks i wonder why i am like this i wonder why i can’t be grateful for things worth being thankful for i wonder why im so sensitive i wonder why you don’t love me i wonder why i was ever born i wonder why i should stay alive i wonder what is my purpose i wonder should i even try i wonder if i am worthy of anything i wonder if anyone will ever stick around i wonder when things will change i wonder if that change will be good i wonder why i am so ugly i wonder why my brother is the favorite i wonder why my brain malfunctions i wonder if there’s a quick fix i wonder if these questions are worth asking i wonder if i am capable of being fixed i wonder if i will ever be myself again i wonder why i haven’t been myself in so long i wonder how come i keep listening to sad songs i wonder how come i get hurt at the smallest things intentional or not i wonder why i have to make sacrifices to get the bare minimum i wonder why nobody respects me i wonder why im so fucking stupid i wonder when will i die i wonder when will i learn to live i wonder if i will ever overcome my fear of existing i wonder if i will ever get better

Dear mind

by blueKat
written by blueKat

Why?
I’m bleeding blind.

Why?
Cut. Cry. Rewind.

Clean and cold
Crimson tears on stone

Why?

You scream for attention
Then hurry and hide

I bear the aggression
My scars your sacrifice

Why?

Dear body,

by blueKat
written by blueKat

I own you,
I’m the best you’ve got.

You have nowhere to go,
But a single shot.

Run! I dare you,
Escape!
Seek light. Leave me behind.

Me people will pity,
When you’re all they find.
