I’M THE ONE YOU’VE COME TO TALK TO. LEAVE A COMMENT

by OddOneOut
written by OddOneOut

What’s on your mind, bud? Talk to me.
I know you came on this website to see what people have to say, to see if you can leave any comments. And I also know that you want to leave comments on people to help them with the shit they’re going through.

SCREW THAT. THAT’S NOT WHY YOU’RE HERE. YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE YOU NEED HELP, YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO’LL LISTEN.

I WILL LISTEN.

Leave a comment, let’s talk. I’ll listen. No judgement, no problem-solving (unless you want it). I’ll try my best to understand, I’ll try my best to here you until you’re through, and most importantly I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU. Talk to me, leave a comment.

To the admins: I’ve been here since 2012, if memory serves me. I’ve been to some of the deepest, shittiest parts of life and came back fighting with lots of psychedelics, booze, victories and losses. I’ve had an amazing amount of love thrown at me and have recently come back to this site with the intention of helping.

Why do you ignore me

by DeathByNight
written by DeathByNight

Explain this to me,

You post on your story that you want someone to talk to

But when I ask if you do,

You tell me you can’t

You tell me you love me

I wonder if you really do

Please just tell me the truth

I wish you the best, and I really do love you, but I don’t know if you love me back

Please just open up to me

I want you to be happy, but I can’t force you to, I think I’m going to crack

Life is Wicked, Worship That Wallet

by Todamnbad
written by Todamnbad

All the fakes disintegrate
All the family secretly hates
Only person standing by me is myself
To take on a world that knows hate more than love
Were people love to play God
And be the judge of your life
Were money determines your life and how you live
Were money determines how much respect to give
The only religion i ever knew was money
Were decency and morals are lowered everyday
When you wake up, you’re in a monopoly game
Were money was so important, we sell our souls
And kill the planet to make that money

Just another stupid poem

by Abnormal.Thoughts
written by Abnormal.Thoughts
    Come Inside

Welcome Darkness,
Wrap me up in a blanket of your cold embrace.
Watch the light as it flickers out.

Hello Lonely,
Surrounded by friends or demons so close.
I couldn’t tell if you were there.

Goodbye Sanity,
No one can see the tangled lands in here.
I’ve fallen to far to find you.

Finally, Death, my old friend,
Ive waited here forever in hopes that you could come.
Take me to your home.

“Less dead”

by JudgeMeNot
written by JudgeMeNot

I’ve lost near all hope, yet idk what that entity is and why It keeps this flame alive. But when that time comes I’ll know I would be free to do anything without guilt and insecurities.

All i know is that this hope holds me here, chained, while oxygen feeds into my soul. The air feels thin. The weight feels heavier. The people.. those parasites. They refuse to understand that we are barbaric by Nature. Crule and capable of extreme physical and mental dangers to the living. Pretending that Light is bright enough to chase out the darkness. But in this world you cant have good without the bad. And Evil always triumphs. Always has always will. Leading the charge in defining the stain we will continue to leave behind.

WE.ARE.FALSE.

Her

by namiki
written by namiki

Yours eyes were like heaven.
Your smile was like nothing i have ever seen.
Your face was like nothing I could have imagined.
Was this love?
Was this what i have always wanted?
The way you looked at me was what I have always wanted.

Now your eyes remind me of what I thought i wanted.
Your smile reminds me of my mistakes
Your face reminds me of beauty but not beauty within
What we had was not the love i wanted.
What i wanted was more then what you are capable of.
The way you look at me now is the way you have always looked at me.
Something is different in that look.
That look is the look of a child.

I was infatuated with you.
Now I hold nothing for you.
Even this pit of rage I contain, is not worthy of you.
With this poem I cast you out of my life.
I do not wish you harm because i wish that i never met you.
if we had met in a different time we could have been friends.
But without you, I would not have learned what a child’s love feels like.
You remind me of what I should be.
My heart is broken but I will be ok.
You moved on and maybe one day you will feel the pain I felt.

This last stanza is the last of “Us”.
We had our time together as friends and as a couple.
We had our differences.
We had our similarities.
Now I want us to be apart.
What I feel is nothing.
I am nothing but flesh.
My mind is blank.
The closest thing to me is what you stole.
But now someone else is piecing me together.
Better then you ever could.
This is good-bye.
Thank you for teaching me what I did not know before.

Fairy Tale

by just_some_extra
written by just_some_extra

Hair as dark as ebony.
Lips as red as wild berries.
Skin as pale as the silver moon.
A wonderful sight to behold, truly.

A goddess among many;
a kind-hearted soul to boot.
Thy is what many would call
beautiful, Snow White.
Though, life…
is far from a fairy tale.

I wish I was as gentle as her.
I wish I wasn’t such an eye sore to others.
I wish I had her worth.

I wish I was her.

I shan’t touch her silky
and delicate skin
for I will taint it with my dirty hands.

I shan’t breathe her air
for I will pollute it with my filth.

I shan’t be her
for I can never replace her worthiness
that rests before her feet.

All I can do is wish upon a star,
or maybe even rub an oil lamp.
But deep down inside,
I know that I can never
live up to her.

Deep down inside,
I know that I am not
living in some kind of
fairy tale.

Me Beyond You

by Abnormal.Thoughts
written by Abnormal.Thoughts

There’s a sinking in my stomach and a stabbing in my brain.
I find myself hiding and focused on the pain.

The wounds you cannot see are more severe than those you can.
But you can’t unwitness the bloody floor on witch you stand.

You take a moment to contemplate, seeing through the terrifying darkness.
A realization that is suffocating, with its bitter sharpness.

The pit is so immense the light can’t reach the jagged rocks below.
You can look but you will never know.

I’m screaming with the unheard voice of agony.
You can’t feel this yet I’m seeking out your empathy.

I’m shaking violently to hold back the demons control.
This deadly story painted with lost pieces of my soul.

The voices are drowning out my thoughts.
You see my silence as Pandora’s box.

The wounds you cannot see are more severe than those you can.
But you can’t unwitness the bloody floor on witch you stand.

Cut away the mental ties with razor blades and little knives.
You only see the future scars and not the near catastrophic fate of our lives.

An open book you can read
A closed, you cannot
Fake pages
So revealing
Yet so secretive
You can read so well
Yet you can’t read at all
A brand new book you’ve just opened
So new
So kind
So clean
Had it for months
The text grew weary
Behind it’s white pages
The secretive
The weary
Sad how
The one who cuts first
Will never be
The secretive

You always ask me
Question me
An answer unappealing
You ask again
Again
Again
Tell me
Since when do shackles ask
“Why are you bound?”
When do the devils ask
“Why are you bad?”
Since when
Could you ask your pot
“Why are you like this?”

That pipe, oh so short
How I sat next to it
So bright, as if it would’ve lasted centuries
So bright, I believed it was longer
Might’ve run the galaxies and back
It only lasted three months
Each time I returned,
It thinned a little more
Dimmed a little more
It cracked a little more
Until nothing was left
This one too, huh?
I placed it too high
Thought it too long
Thought it too sturdy
There is never
Anything
Sturdy Enough
Not even
The shoes I run the galaxies with

Why so blue?
My ambrosia
I wish you knew
I wish you understood
The fires inside
Burning my skin
Burning my mind
Burning my heart
Making me blind
If you know
If you understand
Pick at my petals
This flower’s wilting anyway

Mr. Sun, what are you doing here today?
You are bothering my sleep, and I’d rather you not.
But I’m not mad. Though, I’d rather sleep forever.
Want to know why, Mr. Sun?
When I sleep, I feel as though the black ocean from the back of my mind comes and washes away all that was left of the day.

This feeling
This sensation
The recognition
But
The disremembrance of this
What is this?
We are all the same here
I believe we are
Maybe not on the outside
But
We all share the same interests
But, who is the odd one out?
All of us?
One of us?
It all feels too familiar
Like a deja vu
Maybe it’s because I can’t remember
But
The sensation
The recognition
The wave of emotions take over
Mind completely blank
My only escape taken from me
The other one out of reach
This familiarity
If only I can remember
Something, other than the pain of a deja vu

In this space
My eyes are open
But in reality, they’re closed
There is nothing around me
But darkness
And I sit
Waiting for something
Anything
And it comes
Whatever it was
It was a darkness unwelcoming
It brought about truths, lies, and all things in the dark
I hide
And wish for that darkness
For the night the savior arrives
It visits me every night
Coming like a wave of pure black night
Washing over me
Cleansing
Removing
Ridding the scars the other one left
I swam in an ocean of freedom
The scars gone
A light flashed
Intrigued, I reached towards it
It brought me back to life and burned me
I wanted to let go
I wanted to swim in the dark ocean forever
But, I was too weak

Too afraid to let go
Too afraid to save myself
So I shut myself
And let it drag me about
I’ll do whatever it wants
Until the night the savior comes
For the rest of eternity
Coming
And washing away
All that was left of the day

The mind is transparent
As the memories are transparent
Or is it the other way around?
Like glass
Embedded in the soul
Transparent the mind
To remember
I might’ve remembered
What was transparent
What was embedded
Within
So long ago
My dis-remembrance
Of this
I wonder so

The Sun and the Moon

by just_some_extra
written by just_some_extra

I am the sun.
You are the moon.
Though you are blinded
by my light.

I shine unto you
for you see my light;
however I have been overlooked.

Maybe one day,
you’ll truly understand
the rapidity of my heartbeats
I feel when I’m around you.

But for now,
our platonic bond
will just have to do.

What’s under the bed?
It terrifies me
The very idea
To be near it
To stand near it
To lay near it
The monsters
My very own
Flash before me
The monsters
The creators
The creations
They flash before me
The very idea
To be
Beneath the bed
Again

My lovely bluebird
My cute dove
My beloved
And all your likes
Spread your wings and soar
Soar!
High above the trees
The mountains
Spread your wings
My loves
And soar!
Soar high above the land dwellers
Soar!
Theyll watch in envy as your wings graze the heavens
My beauties
My lovelies
My beloved
Ill watch from below
Far below
From below the land dwellers
Ill watch
As your feathers graze the heavens
Ill use them
Ill thank you
Your feathers replacing mine
Your feathers repairing
My tearing
My weary
My torn
Wings
Hopefully Ill soar
Hopefully well soar
Hopefully
One day
Above the heavens
Well sing

Me
And my fellow torches
Deep within the caverns
Cold
Unlit
Me
And my fellow torches
At the entrance
Burning bright
My torch
Is it burning bright?
Has it been burning bright?
Forevermore?
My torch
Has it been cold
Unlit
Forevermore?
Did you
Light my torch
To a crisp?
Did you
Drown my torch
Out cold?
Our torches
The rumble
The wave
The earthquake
The tsunami
How am I to get it back?
Through the bottomless sea
Through the fire
Behind the island
Behind the boulder
Deep within the Earth
My torch
Where can it be?
Our torches
Whatever has become of them?
