    I don't know why I'm creating this thread, but I am. :grin:
    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.

    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

    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

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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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)

    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

    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 :grin:

    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
