free poetry style wandering wondering

The story behind this free style poem that I wrote in high school was kind of dark. At the time my great grandmother and her husband were both suffering with diseases of the mind. She had dementia and he had Alzheimer's. I was wondering what it would be like to live in their minds, lost in their own world as I helped care for them in their last year in this life.
The last stanza was written after they both died within a few months of each other.

My library of short stories by Izakai_Lord

Welcome to the Library of Tales, a realm born from the depths of a despicable mind, where logic pirouettes with madness and chaos reigns supreme. Here, the absurd and extraordinary collide: knives twirl through the air in deadly ballets, lava pits echo with the wails of tormented souls, candylands brim with grotesque creatures spawned from the union of nightmares and dreams, and cosmic entities swap destinies with mortals in an eternal cycle of ascension and fall. This sentient labyrinth of shifting shelves and living tomes is presided over by a librarian whose essence infuses every creak and shadow. Within these twisting halls, whimsy and horror play an eternal game of hide-and-seek, darkness offers solace while light blinds, comedy and tragedy trade places with mischievous glee, and the boundaries of good and evil blur into a haunting nursery rhyme. Beware, traveler-crossing the threshold will not leave you unchanged. The library's secrets pierce deeper than any blade, its stories unraveling the fabric of reality and opening more eyes than you thought you had. So, tell me: will you take the risk? Within these walls, knowledge and peril are bound together. Here is your key and card-a gift and a warning. The library is watching, waiting. Whatever you expect, it will not be what you find. Good luck, brave soul. Your journey begins...

Beneath The Light of a Dying Star by nonbin-nonbe

In these pages, the world is both light and heavy-sometimes in the same breath. This is a catch-call collection of my own poetry, prose and/or lyrics that I've accumulated over the years that I related to and enjoyed writing and re-writing. I don't know, I just hope you enjoy them or find some comfort in them as well. :) Also, possibly relevant, I'm queer, autistic/adhd and very traumatized so if you relate, you might, like idk, relate to these maybe or they may be a little too real??

Dear Diary by TipsyWaterfall

"I was so busy living in thoughts that when life was actually happening it struck so odd" This is a series of miscellaneous poem about nature, adventure, love, friendship, self identity, memories, hope, road trips and still more :)! P.S : do comment and vote!

YOU NAME IT by Naked_Philosopher

Who knows how to think anymore? Or even what to think? With all the confusion around me, I decided to grab a pen and just let it run

Trapped in my own head by WildImaginations16

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers! Ranking: #1 shortpoem #1 distressing #1 poetry (17.1.2024) #1 poem (24.1.2024)

My Poetry Stash by Izakai_Lord

Welcome to My Poetry Collection This is no ordinary book. It is a labyrinth of musings, a kaleidoscope of thoughts, and a journey into the untamed wilderness of my mind. Each page holds fragments of life's mysteries, fleeting moments of clarity, and questions without answers-all woven into an uncharted tapestry of words, emotions, and imaginings. Will you dare to wander here? Step lightly, for this is a realm where whimsy dances with introspection, where shadows stretch long, and chaos whispers secrets to those brave enough to listen. What you discover may be fragments of me-or reflections of yourself. Follow the breadcrumbs scattered through this forest of whispers, where moonlight pierces shadows, leaves crunch underfoot, and every path twists with unexpected turns. Perhaps you'll stumble upon the shadow of a forgotten dream, the echo of a question you've long avoided, or the flicker of truth hidden in the randomness of it all. But beware: not all paths lead where you expect, and some truths may demand more courage than you imagined. These pages are not merely words; they are invitations, challenges, and companions for your journey. They are windows into uncharted thoughts and mirrors reflecting the depths of your own soul. The terrain of my mind is unpredictable, the pathways steep, the vistas dizzying-and the journey, unrelenting. So, consider this your invitation to explore. I offer no promises, no certainty, and no solace for the stirrings of your heart or the truths you may uncover. Enter if you will, but tread boldly, keep your wits sharp, and your imagination sharper still. Fortune favors the daring-or so they say. Good luck, traveler.

Just A Mess by EllieLostHerMind

I'm not too sure as to what this is, but I often get bored and lost in my thoughts, so why not write them out? As I wrote I created poetic sentences, lines and phrases. So, I hope they can be enjoyed despite their mainly heavy topics. This book covers poems from 2017 to 2019.
