Sentiments in Black & White

I know

I know. I know everyone says suicide isn’t the answer. I know I wouldn’t want my friends to commit suicide. I know this will hurt you. I know this will remind you of Sean. I know this will disappoint all my friends, my teachers, and my family.
And I know this is self centered and entitled; it’s pretentious and trying to sound too deep, but I don’t believe I was meant to have a happy life. I don’t think I was meant to grow old. I was meant to die early on, eventually forgotten.
I don’t believe in fate, and I don’t believe in god. I only …
reasons
June 3rd, 2018by TheBlackSlugInMe
I sometimes drift
Back and forth
Thinking that it’s alright
Then plummeting again
While a glance
Tells of hope
Glimmering,
A daily friend
Sees your sorrow
But dismissed it
All the same
On the edge
I found reasons
To jump
But they’re not enough
So I am begging
Bully me
Kill my loved ones
So I can finally die
Life itself
May 31st, 2018by Justaclique
It’s kinda a shit poem that I wrote when I was at a low point but I had the courage to show it to my sister and she laughed. I felt like I was gonna get a different reaction where she would finally realise “shit you need help” but I guess nothing changes in this shitty world.
Life itself
I lay here hopelessly upon my bed
Where words seem to fall but yet,
They never seem to leave my head where I sit behind a colourless screen and constantly keep falling in and out of a bad dream,
The net I cast to set me free only ended up tying
…
I just wrote this piece of shit “poem” that just popped into my head and needed a place to express it.

I’m going for a stroll tonight
Through the woods without a fright
Tired of putting up this fight
I need to escape from this life
Stars above me
Ground below
wind whispering all my dark secrets yet untold
I wander for miles
Looking up at the stars
My head teeming with voices
Who tell me a thousand lies
I take another step
To the edge of the world
As I look into the valley
I don’t feel the cold
But a strange sense of peace
For what’s about to unfold
I look up one last time
And kiss the stars goodbye
The voices now silent
As my life flashes before my eyes
I take one more step
One final deep breath
Throw myself to the rocky abyss
For one …
Can we cut this man some slack?
May 30th, 2018by imsosorry2468
Chemicals like drugs
They feel like they come from my best friend
You think me a coward but I am a warrior
With many voices in my head
When I looked around and I reached out
I saw no alternativeAnd God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know
He’s been hurting for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
And let him lie down, let him lie down

Hey,you know that you’re not a burden…In fact,you’re one the nicest persons I’ve ever talked to.I keep thinking of you and I admire and respect you.I don’t think that anyone has something mean or bad to say about you (well,at least here in the SP). Now,since you like poetry,I’d like to do something for you… I’ll give you a poem (and I hope you’ll like it) written by one of the greatest poets who ever lived…This is ”The Guest House” ,by Jalaluddin Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks):
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a

Moth
May 19th, 2018by alienCY
I’ve been thinking a lot this last year. About life and death in a deeper way.
I wrote a poem a few months ago inspired by Aurora’s love for moths.
(Aurora is an amazing singer! Listen to her song “Awakening” if you want)
Moth
Lifespan so short.
Wings so big, so beautiful…
Why do you fly?
Hey moth, why do you keep rushing to the light?
Why don’t you just, rest for tonight?
Next day I found you still; frozen.
I wonder did you die in the dark..?
Or did you fall asleep in the light..?

The window
May 17th, 2018by PurpleCrystal
See the world through a window. A world that I spend a good time imaginating myself there, being one of its inhabitants, pretending how things could be better, not necessarily perfect, just a place where I could be happy, but it’s a world that I don’t belong, distant, impossible to be reached, and just because a damnful detail that prohibits me to belong to it. I’m just part of the scum, a mistake, an anomaly that is always iluded trying to be equal but knows that never will be, no matter how many times I try. Sometimes I get an acceptance, a false acceptance, just …
Life, death and rebirth
May 15th, 2018by PurpleCrystal
She was a woman that was exhausted of everything. Her pain had consumed her inside and was killing her day after day. What was supportable, at some point wasn’t anymore. What gave her strength, at some point didn’t give anymore. There was a moment that she realized that no matter how she tryed to run away from her problem, run away from herself, she couldn’t deny the fact that she hated so much, because the memories from her past were tormenting her, and no matter how she wanted to forget all of that, more the memories were showing up in her mind, as if she …
Poem for Death
May 13th, 2018by Browknee
I see the scythe
wanting it to come closer
knowing my day will come
I ponder
who will mourn
who will cry
who will follow in my footsteps
and who will simply
not bat an eye
people are confusing
they say one thing
but think the other
once my friend
now a stranger
what will they do
when the farmer strikes
and takes me away
Please, flush it all away….

“Mother in Arms”
The world, in its glorious wonder
Will burn down its wretched inhabitants;
Or they shall scorch themselves to ashes,
With their infinite knowledge.
Regression to the former, renewal’s blessing.
The naivety of our progress,
While She slowly suffers from our strife and sloth.
” Mass Extinction”
Life is passing you by,
But these people are not worth salvage.
Thus, acclimation is only by necessity,
For human contact.
Walden seems like Olympus.
Nothingness seems like Everything.
“To Starve”

A love letter;
May 6th, 2018by stilte
I miss the words that I deleted. They felt more real.
There is this really heavy hole somewhere in my body and it’s growing. I remember when it first came. I was 12. I thought it was just a wound, you know? I thought it would heal and it would go away like any other time I’ve been hurt.
I thought that if I stopped paying attention to it, it would go away. That’s what I was always taught, I mean.
But it didn’t. The hole just kept getting bigger and heavier and darker and it’s lost. No, I’m lost. I’m lost in this hole and I can’t …
