This captain is going down with his ship
Of course I have thought about ditching and abandoning
But I guess it’s seen as better if you just sink with your heart,
When you know you’ve failed
I am superman
I am a man of steel
I am a king
Of course I'm scared
But “Even if all you do is fail, then fail and fail again”
I'm climbing a ladder and I'm scared I won’t be able to get back down
Once I make it to the top I must brace myself for the dreaded fall
I am scared
I am not shore
I am crazy within my idiocy
I must do what floats my boat
My life is a sinking ship, not Noah’s Ark
And I can’t find the life boats
Or the flare
I am an iceberg
I am a rock
I am an island
I am sinking on the quicksand of confusion from the ship of Theseus
I should hold my breath
And put a message in a bottle
That won’t make it back to land in time
Dit dit dit
Da da da
Dit dit dit
Lost in forever To ever stop loving me you'd say never Then your forever's turned into never's Your endeavors turned into feathers Feathers that floated away When you used to say that you'd stay My smiles went away for miles While I'll burn my files, Of every second I spent thinking about you And every time you stayed for set after school I'll go back to my rules for fools I won't sit in my pity pools of tools People don’t realize that you're spoiled Even though this relationship you burnt and boiled Hun, you have someone who you can go to while you run I'm stuck here without the fun; I don't have anyone to protect me from my own gun The gun you didn't see, You pointed at me If you ever come back you better pack You don’t have the knack of begging on your knee; if you try to your face I will whack I can’t believe I fell for you twice You didn't catch me and now I'm paying the price She never knew or will be able to comprehend the way I loved you You are discluded from my thought stew; it's time for me to make another brew I find this poem shameful It’s also painful I was clever and never said forever I know that nothing lasts forever, not even love, Especially not your love!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm going to unfold a special poem for you
I should start off by saying, Happy Valentines Day
My best contrast is that your eyes are brown
Any day you can fix my frown
Just like everyone else’s,
You lips are red
Sometimes I want to kiss them, enough said
I can’t wait for when we’re older and have money
You hair is black
Someday we shall pack
Where should we go?, We both ask ourselves
I love your skin so tan
I love my man
I've got stories to tell,
When were old and gray
I hope you'll stay
What will happen when this bird gets out of the cage
Will it sing and fly
Or just sit there and die?
A face full of tears
Yet none of them want to fall
An infant full of years,
Slamming doors
To close off the past
Of the hidden wars
Might as well recreate my kindergarten picture
Of a small person with the world’s tiniest smile
What a mixture
A probable mistake
A theory
Of sour birthday cake
The same will of wanting a way out
Few know what it’s like to be born into the wrong world
I'm an alien trying to find a realistic route
Hands in little fists
Ready to punch a hole in your inflexible plan for me to follow
So many things wrong with that I could make paper flowing lists
I can see my blonde hair back in my face
That I once cut into uneven bangs
Those pictures you try to erase
Like the pictures of my big toothless grin
When I had a badass black eye
My wild heart you can’t win,
With dance recital dresses
This Rockette will not dance anymore
The reason is just as good as your guesses
I'm not your special girl
I'm not anyone’s except my own
And you thinking otherwise makes me want to hurl
What will happen with this girl
When she is free of the nest
Despite her fears and guilty love, will she fly like the rest?
When it came to life
They had their tires spinning
But I like to believe I was somehow the one who was winning
When it came to life
They made me feel unwanted in theirs
They are the heirs with the mean stares
I would like to believe
That I’m going to shine brighter
But I’m not the one who owns a lighter
I would like to believe
That I’m the one who is going to get around
But I’m stuck in the background
When it came to life
It seemed like they are naturally smart
I on the other hand, don’t even know where to start
When it came to life
They always managed to get luck and look good
I, on the other hand, look like a girl made of wood
I would like to believe
That someday I will be above all of this
Instead of being traded like baseball cards, I’ll have a person to kiss
I would like to believe
That none of this will matter
And I’ll be on the mound tauntingly saying, swing batter batter swing batter batter
When it came to life
They gave no real shits about my existence
And yet I kept with my foolish persistence
When it came to life
They had their own group
And I wasn't really part of the loop
I'm blowing warmth into my hands, As autumn falls like the leaves belonging to it The wind has regained its chipperness My booted feet begin to get clumsy People who say you should keep your head, Up; don’t know what they are talking about There are some bad roots you have to look down for Unless you want to get knocked down again The leaves changed fast this year Some are already brown, dry and ready to be decomposed Where’s your warm hand I thought I was holding? Where did I lose my big coat? Were you on the ship I purposely deserted and sank? Good! That’s what I wanted, At the time Now I'm lost with my flannel shirt and my snaky soul My cold nose and my mittens that no longer fit Well, decisions will get you someplace in the woods My best days are long behind and far ahead At least I can’t see my breath yet I have to find my clearing on my own That will be tough but I got myself here, I have to get myself back out Autumn you will not make me fall!
I’m hanging on like a cliff hanger
Just hanging on and just hoping against odds
But you learn to pull yourself up and at least sit on the branch
But it sways in the wind
So you hang on and try your best not to fall
If you do it’s all over
No second chances
No forgiveness for trying so hard
So hard not to just jump
It’s getting tempting
It seems easier just ending it
But you just keep fighting
That’s all you've ever done
You think it will just end anyway
You might slip
Your hands are getting extremely tired and sweaty
But you’re used to it
You teach yourself how to walk on the small branch
You start to trust it
You shouldn't though
But it’s all you've got
You just want to be saved
But you know that’s highly unlikely
You lose hope
You want to climb the cliff
It’s straight up
Or straight down if you fall
One way trip
Will you make it?
You try to grab the side of the cliff
It falls out of your hand as debris
And dust because you have been there for so long…
And yet longer…
No help!
You start screaming
All you hear are your echo’s
You know it’s no use to hold on anymore
You jump
You feel so free
You like the feeling of flying
Your stomach in your throat
You haven’t done anything like this in at least a year
You see the bottom getting closer
You can’t wait for it to end…
What happened to us?
What's with all the fuss?
How do you not know why you texted her?
My friend said that it wouldn’t be a good idea to get back with you; I concur
I'm afraid to call you an oaf
Since you still have my loaf
I don’t want to call you a nitwit
Even if that word perfectly fits
I don’t want to call you what you still are
To me what you are seems so far
I don’t want to say
You never really loved me all those days
We had, I had plenty of good thoughts
For you, I unfortunately had the wrong timed hots
No matter how badly you want to get back with me
Well now you'll get to feel how I did when I disagreed
It wasn’t a smart thing to do
This love was true
You literally ruined it for your good
You loved her, I understood
Now without you distracting me
I can get a good degree
You now are going to end up all alone
Even if you try to phone
I'm not going back to my heartbreaker
You were my heart taker
You better never say that I never loved
Last time I believed you when you sent your doves
This break up doesn’t really hurt
It will though, just wait for her dirt!
Never can seem to get it right
I'm giving up on the fight
Fuck it
I’ll just live a poverty stricken life
I'm done with keeping up and steady
I'm not quite ready,
To just fuck it
And live a poverty stricken life
Still falling into the same rhyme,
When life gets frustrating and hard every friggin time
So fuck it
I’ll survive my poverty stricken life
I don’t like having things shoved down my throat
But I never opted for a different route so I’ll have to swim the moat
So fuck it
It’s almost too late to avoid a poverty stricken life
I’ll be rich on alcohol
And famous in my new home, the mall
Fuck this
I don’t want that drunk life
I won’t have to do math,
To know that I'm on a poor path
Fuck everything
I’ll have to survive my poverty stricken life
Get away, get away from me
Because you can stop me from sailing at sea
And sinking into fucking everyone like a real pirate
I’ll have a poverty stricken life with a good view
I’ll ignore all the bottles filled with lost hopes and dreams
Instead I’ll collect them in reams
Because fuck it
I’ll need a way to pass time in my pirate life A life without morals or a plan
I might be able to cheat my way out and find a clan,
Of others who decided to fuck it
And ended up living the poor life, in which everyone thinks you're an idiot
But I didn’t like their ways
And I was too stubborn to get through the tough days
Fuck it
I'm already living the poor life
I'm tired of this shell
And this name
And the world spinning
The problem is that I need to shatter myself
And it just seems impossible
Like an equation that I can’t figure out without being unstoppable
Problem is, the issues grow longer like this infestation of words
If only I knew the answer to the question of why?
Then I would have just another key,
That would lead to another empty chest
Because there’s none for me, nope not a pair
Except for emptiness like two pits of despair
Can’t you feel through your metallic layers?
I don’t like wannabe robots
Even if all you’ve done is make a helmet out of a kitchen strainer
Bee hives don’t dance for nothing, honey!
And I'm buzzing with kinetic energy,
With nowhere to go but this shell
Solved are not my problems,
Of being fucking stuck
Either way I'm seen as an evil little fucker
Stuck like cling wrap to this plastic world
Seemingly unavoidable in every imaginable possibility that I can think,
With my eyes held wide open I can’t even blink
In this torturous place I can’t live forever
Even if I can call it my own
Even if it’s here forever
My need to have this shell shattered is strong
I want to feel it shake and shatter
Hear it crack down like pitter, patter, smash
Shell, hell, what's the difference?
I like the fire in the devil that melts my cold heart
Because I'm tired of this invisible prison cell
I can sometimes feel your love
Like a massage that's over
Even though you're not around
I feel it and it's what I think I need
Your love is like the warmth of the sun
You're not near me
But I can feel your warmth
On my skin
Your love is like my moon
Far away
Yet I can see your light
In my dark
Your love is like a song
That has already been played
But still buzzing
Around my head
Your love feels like
A glowing aura on my skin
That protects me
From life’s miseries
Your love almost feels like
You are keeping watch and looking out for me
And I sometimes think
That I see you out of the corner of my eye
But maybe that is all just wishful thinking
Because I miss you
And your love
That felt so good and right
Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.
