It felt like solitary confinement
They have my finger print
All the windows had a tint
It was hard to see
Anything but all the problems wrong with me
Drowning in the unknowing sea
Been here so long I’ve got belly button lint
Can they take the silence as a hint?
May I have a breath mint?
Outside I can hear them talking
The secrets are shocking
That door I’m locking
The things I hide
Behind some deceptive lies
My heart dies
Inside here I have no control
Maybe he is secretly the troll
Trapped is my soul
My body is so tense
Just hop the fence
It sounds like I don’t make sense
Inside I’m dead
Heavy as lead
I don’t look fed
I wonder what they are saying
In here I’m slowly but surely decaying
The video cameras revealing everything, replaying
Somehow they forgot me
I long to be free
The new, changed world, I want to see
When is the last time I saw the bright shooting stars?
As I try to imagine mars,
Through the cold, rusty, thick, medal bars
At somebody getting in their car
I wonder what their life is like
Strike, strike,
Strike
I’ll get though this
No one has ever truly been here for me, there is no one I miss
No one is one the list
My only friend in here is a flickering light
I’m not done with this fight!
Will I be forced to stay another scary, rough night?
However this room is also bliss
As I reminisce
At least I’m finally away from the battles, the silence is a gentle kiss
Your insults are shitty
But I'm wittier. Why?
Because I belong to the comeback committee
You’ve changed your way
You were kidding before but now you mean what you say
And for reasons, I stay
I'm a willing fool
Just to be somewhat cool
In my uncool way of being uncruel
The volume on my thoughts is too loud
It's like a big obnoxious crowd
But I like it loud and I'll wear my thoughts like a stereo system, proud
You keep trying to put me in my spot
But you're not
Because I don’t have one, so you might want to change that thought
Rubbing yourself like an eraser in my face
Wont erase,
Me and my bigger, better chase
You make sure that I know that I'm annoying and gross
Maybe you need to up your none existent dose
Or have your fire put out with a fire hose
Because you aren’t doing it for my own good
You're not being a friend how a friend should
In this type of hood
I thought you knew that we have to stick together
Just like how I made your essay better
I try to give you all but you choose to wear her sweater
And now I listen to rock songs
As if I was casting a curse on you, a person who wronged me or was just plain wrong
Beating my
Back with the switch of embarrassment
Counting down from ten turned into
Counting down to when school ended
Destroying potential masterpieces and
Daring to act like my best friend
Examining me
Even to the point of just pure cruelty
Forgetting that we are the
Future
Getting what you wanted you
Gypped me
Happily fed the
Hatred in my heart
I'm still not social and I'm still not great at verbalizing
I clearly learned a lot from staying back
Javelined me with feelings of stupidity and low self esteem you
Justify this because you think it did me good
Knotted my life and slowed me down which
Killed me on the inside with depression
Lengthening my suffering by an extra year and my
Language, once again, has not improved
Motherfucker you
Misunderstood
Nervous because of your harsh, toughness maybe you
Never considered that it was you who was the problem
Ostracized me from my
Own class and best friend
Painful were the years that
Passed but the one spent with you was the most painful
Quivering were my lips, you were the ruling
Queen
Repress my feelings and I hold them inside so that I may move forward instead of staying in the same
Repulsive place where children’s minds are forced into corruption
Suffocation in my Thanksgiving bonnet with a
String under my chin holding in the awkward discomfort
Thinking back on those days with you causes me
Trauma
Underestimated are the soft introverts who are
Usually warm and caring rather than cruel, but now I have
Venom in my
Veins
What made you think that you should be in charge of my fate, while you aged,
Without talking I became stronger in my silence
Xenial from my classmates I so dearly miss and yet
X-rays will not show how much I hurt
You didn’t let me go down fighting,
You tried to sugarcoat my life
Zero in vocabulary you were a
Zealot
I’m so horrible, bad luck doesn’t want a part of me
The crows fly away with the sight of me,
Inscribed in their retinas
I have my own invisible scarlet letter
“S” is the letter
My name…
Blades of grass spear through my shadow
So long ago that girl of a shadow
My 5 o'clock shadow of words
Maybe my writing phase is over
I can’t wake up from a dream when it’s already over
Maybe my blue pen is done kissing the paper
If you were the paper and I was the pen, you’d think I was trying to murder you
I don’t know me, without you
Sometimes I miss my ink
I’m scared my drugs are going to be discontinued
I’m scared my happiness has been discontinued
I used it all up in attempt to hang onto it
Flowers blossoming beautifully to their death
Everything living to its death
Birds singing the song the reaper himself wrote
Words tattooed to my face,
My award losing poker face
Why can’t you see the sadness in my bright eyes?
My depression is the light
Everyone’s happiness is the light
People keep dragging me there
They think they’re helping
Don’t ask me what is helping
Always asking the awful reverse
They think they know what’s best
No one knows best
No not even me
If only they would listen-
And yet, too intently is not how to listen
They never do
Late night conversations
Me and my hesitations
Let’s not forget those limitations
I'm smarter than before
I was naive when I was rich; I have common sense now that I'm poor
I found my way around the moor
You're all hurt now but I'm not
In love with love you got caught
Did you find that a twist in the plot?
You with your "Oh, okays"
You left me with wasted days
Wishing that if I sat still long enough, I'd just decay
I wanted to go into a state of nonexistence
Instead I ended up becoming more resistant
Happiness in the far distance
It turns out, you were not the sun
In the cold you don't seem to have fun
You didn't bother to learn my puns
I'm disappointed not mad
That lad,
Isn't the reason I'm sad
When you flirt
It hurts
I no longer have to share dessert!
"She doesn't deserve to be ignored"
I cut the cord
So get out of my life with your longboard
Impending doom
Anticipating the "boom!"
I got sent the invitation
To sticky isolation
The deathly scent of flowers
Looking at the world alone at the top of the Eiffel Tower
A lonely gold filled casket
No more money in the basket
That money was wasted
Just imagine how bad that tasted
Every breath,
Is one closer to death
Then I feel insecure
In a crowd of people, doesn't matter what store
Anxiety still in the room
Sitting there waiting for the "boom!"
I try to hug the earth but all I do is hit the floor
It hurts but I go back for more
Sara, I can imagine you popping up out of nowhere
Depressing reality, but I still care
I can feel the wall of basses
The sickening sound of them not in their cases
Still feeling the arriving doom
Just around the loom
Then the crowd of violins start to rain
And the dark basses in my ears, they stain
The basses echo and rumble in my gut
Running from my problems, out of the room I rebely strut
Waiting for the call
Waiting for the call
How will I stall?
How will I stall?
Anxiety
Anxiety
Bolting through my veins
Hydrogen, Helium, Sodium, Boron
I must be made out of morons
I own scratched up pencils
They don't fit extra ordinary stencils
Books and essays
Overwhelmed I say
I own knocking knees
I know who I am, I just can't be
Do and don't
Know that I probably won't
I own a pounding heart
One of my arts
What is history?
It's part of my mystery
Anxiety
Anxiety
How will I stall?
How will I stall?
Waiting for the call
Waiting for the call
I'm a little punk
A little rebel
I used to be the opposite
But similar all the same
Then I fell in love with something I can't have and my heart sunk
My heart is a devil
The burn causing flame in my brain got lit
The beast of my heart I couldn't tame I used to feel guilt like hell
It had complete control over me
Therefore I had nothing hidden
Dealing with the devil, my guilt was a good idea to sell
I broke free
I became guilty ridden The free rain ran over me and cleaned my obedience away
I broke them damn chains!
I began to hide during the day
Some of my fears I told to go fuck themselves, went down the drain So now I'm everything that screams courage and fearless
Every word that I write helps me to be tearless But I am still similar all the same
Staring into the yellow lines
Trying to go with the flow
I cannot bring myself to look up at the pines
Delirious depression in this mechanical car is a light load Sitting next to one of my discombobulating demons
Unable to run or fight it
Inside I am scream'n
This makes me want to fuck shit Staring at the two yellow lines, I think...
About last year when I climbed the walls
I should take leaps for the fun of the falls
Onto the sun warmed tar I desire to sink Thinking about two people who give me hope
That is for whatever is next to come
I feel the slope,
That leads into my own personal slum
Two lines, two women who are fierce
How far will I get with the uneven yellows?
Bright yellow does pierce
Stuck like a baby in the backseat type of mellow What to do when I turn the stone of 18?
My enemy has me trapped and constantly, greedily coming back
I have to hold the slack
What do I even know? One thing is for certain
I will keep moving forwards
Hopefully I'll stick with my words
I will go wherever the yellow snakes take me, in order to see the man behind the curtain
Hot tears could set this place on fire
All these flame flame flames
Who aim aim aims
These flame flame flames
At me?
But even if this place burned down
It would lack lack lack,
You, come back come back come back
I lack lack lack
The part, of my heart that you took
I've become so hot that I'm blue
Into my life you came came came
Do you think this is a game game game
The way that you came came came
And left me
You left me with hope that has evaporated
You had hope hope hope
To keep this boat afloat float float
I want that beautiful hope hope hope
Sos
I know that I'm just wasting paper thinking that we shall meet again
Life just seems lame lame lame,
Without you, do you feel the same same same,
About this being lame lame lame
Amy?
Our time is 5:07
It's my heaven
Don't you ever doubt that you are my friend
Shall I make you say it again?
You know what I mean
Please spill the beans
I’ve heard that before but I don't know where
Sorry, but I don't dare
I can't hurt you, I won't sugarcoat it with extra fluff
You've already been hurt enough
I like writing misery, you like science
But 5:07 is our compliance
I refuse to lose my marble
This one is really garbled
Garbled and hard to understand, without a doubt
I like it when you freak out
It means you care
My tall teddy bear
Now you know that I can't even sneeze
And all you could say was, "oh jeez"
Oh but that guy, Brad
She's mad
To make her day
She wishes that certain people would get out of the way
She's befuddled
I'm befuddled
When she smiles
I sit back and watch for awhile
For you I will never stop
Until I'm at the top
That rock wall, for you I will climb
Because 5:07 is our time
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.
