Low morality strung on a white checkerboard,
Waiting for social justice to rival with peace.
Each move a power play,
Throwing their own egotistical feast.
Heighten sense of vulgarity,
Dishing out with the popularity across the street.
Painless arguments grow upon the
numbness aggression;
shielding those with agony to be beat.
Over a lack of kindness,
None will ever meet
I created this poem because people would often talk about my ex boyfriend and I due to the fact that we were different races.

Haha
There’s no empathy in me
So sweet of you to notice
I don’t ******* care
My heart is a gaping hole
A void you can’t fill
And to feel something
I’ll hurt you
I’ll watch you bleed
To amuse myself
And cut my own skin
To feel something more
Because I’m not a good person
Don’t get me wrong here
I am not okay
And I’ll drag you to Hell
Right along with me

Here I've been singing
Songs for my bleeding soul
Can't you feel my morality leaving?
And now I'm struggling
On heartstrings I'm dangling
And emotionally muddling

There I was, running
My gold armor scuffing
Soon I'll be trusting (forgive)
Soon I will rust
My soul will join the dust
And maybe that's enough
Can't you feel my morality leaving?
Orchid T Aspen Dec 2019
He ran from my demons
so I wouldn't have to.

                                      He yearned for more time
                                                     like I should have.
He lived as me.

He broke as me.
                                                          He spoke in me
                                     so I wouldn't have to.

           I didn't tell him he was human.
Hunter Green Dec 2019
My mind’s like rock but lava,
Ice but calving,
A mountain in avalanche,
Dreaming of insomnia,
A lion being hunted,
A man in the news.
Quickly removed from vital values,
No longer known for strongest qualities.
Easily swayed by a metaphorical gust of wind.
Reduced but mistaken by foundational niceties.

Maybe it's boring in the house
All tasks done, dishes are clean
No leftovers, gone was the mouse
Abode holy and so pristine
So is the contents of the refrigerator
So he left for awhile, left the TV on
And left with cloud slippers on
Maybe today is a rest day
Get some fresh air outside
Maybe today is a new day
Get some motivation outside
So I went to turn off the television
He might be too busy nowadays
Then I saw and understood why
He was crying on some days
The shows were realistic and sad
People hurting and loving each other
In a cycle of love and hate and more hate
The paradise is slowly rotting away
Smoke hides the cry of Mother Earth
Held on to modern and liberated beliefs
As they care about themselves more than others
And I know this time that He left for good
And maybe this time, this is for His own good
Eden Hell Oct 2019
Demons don’t need horns
They don’t need to be given
The horns, the pitchfork,
Or the tail
Because not all demons are that bad

When I was younger
I used to believe
That demons just upped
And left heaven
Or were thrown out
Because they weren’t like
The angels
Then they got to hell
And realised
That heaven was just like hell
But with a better view.

So now
Hell is empty
And all the devils are here
(On Earth)
it's ****** but i'm adding it anyway
