Writing poetry is a five fingered insanity –
It's a type of frenzy that encroaches upon me.
⚫️
The sun is always behind me,
chasing me into the dark.
⚫️
Goodnight, Moon...
Though you shine brightly,
You look as lonely as I am.
⚫️
The plume of your poison spreads widely,
Leeching out into my soul
Where the colors shine brightly.
⚫️
It's a shame that fairy tales aren't real...
Yet monsters are.
⚫️
My quiet heart barely beats –
My pulse is shallow and weak...
Ready for that deep, dark sleep.
⚫️
It's hard to hide the fact that you are nothing.
⚫️
There is good inside of bad.
⚫️
Unanswered prayers from noisy lips
make the most silent rooms.
⚫️
Life...
It's all static –
Superfluous static!
⚫️
Don't forget to remember...
⚫️
Every story has an end
before it is even written.
⚫️
I'm always grasping air at the end of the rainbow.
⚫️
Heaven is as real as the sun shines,
The wind blows,
The rain falls,
And the Moon glows.
⚫️
Happiness is cruel because it never lasts.
Soon you'll learn that it's just a temporary madness.
⚫️
It's all plastic –
Love
Religion
Politics
Humanity.
⚫️
This world is a miserable place.
The birds are chirping,
The sun is shining...
Sleep deprivation is a bitch.
⚫️
The light was fading...
The last chapter coming to a close...
And I knew I had to let go...
⚫️
The Moon is my Sun –
I think that is the mantra of all insomniacs.
⚫️
Right now,
I'm angry that the goddamn sun
is always shining,
But I know one day,
I'll wish it was shining.
⚫️
I feel it because it's real.
⚫️
How can you repair what's already broken,
Or fix what is never spoken?
⚫️
Life is like fishing...
Only I never had the right bait.
⚫️
You held your love for ransom.
I could never afford the price.
But I wasn't surprised...
You have never played nice!
⚫️
It's a cruel kind of hell,
Living in mediocrity –
A depressing destiny with regrets,
Is the only certainty.
⚫️
There was never a monster under my bed...
Just in it.
⚫️
Life is a series of contingencies,
Wrapped up in between lies,
In lieu of solace.
⚫️
Regrets are as empty as their pursuits.
⚫️
Keep a bright heart about you,
when all else is bleak.
⚫️
A decade at a time –
One worse than the last.
Thank God that time goes by so fast.
