Poetria
Shutters down,

No windowlight,

Not a single sound.


A scratching quill,

A windowsill;

A couple of flyaway pages.


Scribbling down

My Incoherent muse',

Desperate attempts

At a poem or two.


Trying to find

A you and I

In this world

I've created.

I really dont why Im hurt.
Unexplainable pain in my heart.
Days seems to past faster,
No smiles not even laughter.

Can someone give me a clue,
Why am I always feeling blue.
Hate the sadness
Acknowledge that the world has stupid people
Play whatever you want to play
Punish the thoughts of sadness
Invest into thoughts of true love
Never lose sight of the bright light
Eat whatever you want
Socialise
SMILE
What a Disney shape
life is no circle
life has corners
for hiding
and pointy bits
for stabbing
not sure what shape
that is
maybe
a sharpened triangle.
I remember jumping into the water without knowing how to swim
I remember pressing my hand against the kettle to check if it was hot, watching it blister red for hours
I remember pinching myself even if I knew I was awake
I remember running until my feet burned and my lungs collapsed

I remember crying so hard until my eyes were swollen shut
I remember not remembering the answer to a math question and everyone called me stupid
I remember gripping my own wrists so tight until it turned into a kaleidoscope of blues and purples
I remember letting myself get tangled in your hair and drown in your eyes

I remember destroying myself
A poem I wrote awhile back it was pretty weird typing it in because I'm not in that place anymore but yay go me
