A poem for how you're feeling

[Ben]

I don't know why I'm creating this thread, but I am.
So just maybe some of you can join me in creating a poem to describe your dominant thoughts in this moment. It can be as un-rhymey, trashy or as bad as my example:

I want pop-tarts

I want pop-tarts.
I can't be bummed to make pop-tarts.
But I want pop-tarts.
I want pop-tarts.

I have some pop-tarts.
And I want pop-tarts.
But I can't be bummed to heat them,
Pop-tarts, pop-tarts.

I want pop-tarts.
I want pop-tarts.
I want pop-tarts.
I want pop-tarts.



So yeah, go ahead.

Roses are red...

[Fairybread]

This is kinda long... Tho it details how I'm feeling...

I probe my mind
searching for an answer
to the blackness deep inside of me

I think long and hard
about life and why
I would be better off dead

I tip my brain
upside down in my quest
for answers to my problems

I jumble my thoughts
turn them inside-out during
my uncertainty about living

I sleep few hours
messing up my subconscious
nothing coming clear

I have almost gone
to the point of no return but
maybe I will find light at the end of my tunnel

I will struggle through
another day battling the cruel
harshness of reality and beyond

I am losing it
it being my mind although
some would call it marbles

I despair of ever
being raised out of the turmoil
that constitutes my life

I hope or not
as hope does no longer
exist in my world

I do not know
what will happen next
whether I die or live

I cannot foresee what
lies ahead though it cannot
be good for nothing ever is

I need help maybe
some would agree others
would beg to differ

I lessen my grip
on happiness one day
following the next

I clutch frantically at
the strands of my frayed life
the burnt cinders of me

I do not desire
to continue like this
death is becoming preferable

I sit and wait
as the seconds trickle
by agonizingly slowly

I am sinking down
further into the gaping blackness
spiralling towards the bottom of a bottomless hole

I shall not continue
to live like this it must
be fixed or I destroyed

I must not hurt
those I care for in my
slowly spiralling state

I will eventually be
free or dead at peace with
everyone and myself

I continue through the
pain and sorrow that are all
I know and can feel

I feel betrayed and
angry at myself and I
wallow in grief

I write in the
effort to understand how
I feel and why

I read my writings
and realise that death is maybe
not so good but still desirable

I consider my friends
and the pain I’d inflict if
I did die

I notice that my
scissors are too blunt to cut flesh
but that is probably a good thing

I idly wait and
reconsider my options and
whether I want to proceed to Uni

I seek nothing except
friendship and love to haul me
out of my downward moving life

I watch and observe
the happiness of strangers and
wonder how to smile

I sometimes laugh randomly
not from sheer joy but because
I have no purpose

I sink further and
further into the dark and rely
on the kindness of others

I fret and tremble
as I realise that maybe
hope doesn’t exist

I am scribbling down
my muntified thoughts from
my fried-egg brain

I die internally and
no one seems to notice or care
that I am alone

I am by myself
contemplating nothing but
life or death

[kettlkorn]

I am in
the need of food
but not something
boring or crude
a giant burger
would improve my mood
but i'm on a diet
from a skinny hot dude

[musican]

Somebody
Shoot me.
Please
and thankees.

Logarithmic equations suck
They are really such a bore
Why the hell don't people
just use the calculator?

[Danny19]

^love it..lol

i shouldnt wait for that text or call
its better to just stop thinking while staring at the wall
i did my best
now its time to get some rest

[Mogget]

pasta
it comes in many shapes
but few flavors
sauce, sauce is
the secret
the magic substance
that gives substance
and taste

pasta
delicious and so textured
each variety a new
experience
a joy to the tongue
with veggies
with mushrooms
with fish
with shrimp
or on its own
it doesn't matter

[InaRut]

I predict, that I have a upcoming ill-ness,
My immune system, this cold it will miss
A nose that does not feel quite well,
The back of my mouth, I just can't quite tell
That I don't feel very right...
is this a sign of a coming blight?

Im going to drink some hot tea, and put on some socks and open my window.

[Z3ni]

Here I sit alone at night
Wishing....
There was a "he" by my side

[confusedgirl]

I'm standing underneath a roof while acid rain is falling
I've been dodging it for weeks afraid of being rejected
Ignored shunned from the people that mean the most to me.
I've done all this talking and complaining but I haven't gone into
this storm and done a wink of the things I say I will I wonder if I
ever really will or if I'll just stand under the roof waiting for the impossible
to stop just for me

[Allegro molto]

One cannot possibly take away from Nothing
If one attempts to take away from Nothing
Chaos will be the only result
And that which was Nothing
Will be forever without Hope

Lab reports
Do yourselves


Really deep that was.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
dear procrastination,
fuck you.

I went to a club last night
And had a lot to drink
Now I have a hangover
And am unable to think

(Apparently I can still rhyme though)

[Forgotten]

All I want

I just want to be okay
But you don't seem to care
It doesn't matter as long as you can't see
I'm just another girl with nothing left but broken dreams
You pushed me to the edge
I almost didn't come back
You don't realize, you made the initial crack
Slowly you broke me more
You found me bleeding on the bathroom floor
You never found the note
You visited me in the hospital; for the first few days
Then you slowly faded away
Because of you,
All I want, is to be okay

[Aeon Magus]

My Symphony

Why does this heart beat so awkwardly?
Oh no, I think I heard it break...
My insides want to be outside,
It's like this massive internal earthquake.
Drop a bomb into my stomach just to end this feeling...
I don't mind breathing out smoke.
It's easier to digest than this absence,
It fills the emptiness even though I sometimes choke.

Just cut off a limb, remove some skin -
Whatever you do, please end this internal pain.
There are water stains etched into my beautiful face...
My insides are being washed away by this torrential rain.
My feelings are consumed and confused in these thoughts,
I feel like burning just to feel something new...
Something different... Even something I hate,
Something foreign... anything, other than you.

My body wants to fall to pieces...
And I'm beginning to give up and just let it fall.
I'm finding it so hard just to pull myself together,
Why did I give you my all?
I bound a ribbon around your heart and mine,
I even tied it with the most stunning bow.
It was wrapped in faith and hope and love...
All of which you no longer seem to show.

You cannot pretend there is nothing left to defend,
We had barely even begun and you ended it.
You put us on hold and never looked back,
You left a hole that has now filled with dirt and grit.
I know I'm just another face in the crowd,
But I constantly pray you will find your way back to me...
Because you are music to my soul, the sweetest melody...
And I cannot function properly without my symphony.

Dear EC,
Stop distracting me

There is schoolwork to be done,
but that's no fun

Food tastes great
The noodle's unfortunate fate

Three tiny ones

[Jewel]

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What the hell is the point of it all
We're born, we live, we fall in love, we die
And all that time, we live in a lie

Mirror, mirror, in my hand
I no longer know where I stand
Everyone hurts, but there's always a mask
I want the truth, is that too much to ask?

Mirror, mirror, can you say
Why I shouldn't give up, why I should stay
Tell me my future, tell me what you foresee
Come on stupid mirror, why won't you answer me



And another short one:
Roses are red
Grass is green
I like your legs
And what's in between

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Next on my to-do list:
You


Grass is purple
Water is green
No, I'm not high
I don't know what you mean
