I feel like the jagged reflection of a broken mirror
Just hopelessness and fear
Personal despair closer than it appears
I am thrown into my own gears
It's told to me
That it's so easy
While easy
Is torn apart with a frenzy
And I'm left with nothing
Just emptiness and suffering
To move on I need
Some kind of buffering
But do I want to move on...?
What an impossible question
I must have missed some lesson
But I don't sit alone, it's me and depression

I saw her again
In the same spot as always
Sitting across from me
As quirky and charming as ever
Talking about her days and dreams

But why is it can't I remember her face
Everything is like it was before
The place, the people, heck even the music
Everything......except for her face

How long has it been
Days, weeks, maybe an eternity
But why can't I remember her face
Why can't I remember her face
when she's right here

OH... ohh that's why.
How could I forget

This was the last time...
The last time I got to see her
We met up for coffee
She was so happy and excited

I wanted to go with her
But life had other plans
Who would have guessed
That would be the last day
I'd get to see her

I didn't want to let you go
I don't want to let you go

Oh right....that's how she looked
Beautiful but elegant
Just like a white rose

If only I knew I wouldn't have let you go
At least not alone.

PLEASE, please.....

Even if this is just a dream

Even if the is the last time I get to see her

Please, just let me stay here....

.....for a little while longer
This poem is based on 2 movies that that I recently watched which I loved the plots of both. I am a fan of sci-fi and a sucker for romance.  The movies were "next" and "source code". I highly recommend watching them.
It's as if whenever I told myself
While in fear and in pain how this has to be the worse it could ever be,
i must have cursed those words aloud.

Because the trembling pain i felt before feels more like a stratch compared to now.

Everything that gave me peace and promise is now a devastating lie
that could not be farther from the truth.

And anything that gave me ease and comfort is now completely demolished.

I dream of not waking up in the morning to relive each day with a different plot line when I know I have to face a reality once more that I can hardly bear.
Nathan 3d
In silence, I carried a sin
passed down to me—
a curse unbroken,
paid for in full
just to be loved
by someone
who never truly belonged to anyone.

It’s eating me alive,
like a parasite
draining the last light from my bones.
It clings,
slowly killing me
for a mistake
I never made.

I feel like a lost lamb,
wandering the abyss,
blindfolded
by the sharp remorse
that was never mine to carry.

For a moment,
I exist in a world
that never noticed I was here—
like a forget-me-not,
wilted by the road,
meant to symbolize
a love that died
before it was remembered.

And all this guilt...
the pain...
the suffering...

I shall bear it—
until it carves blood from my soul,
and follows me
into the grave’s dark cradle.
explores inherited guilt, emotional pain, and silent suffering,
which is i felt this month
ps: my mind keeps buzzing me off, and i have to express it to something that trully represent it:)
asya 6d
any god that may exist falls just short,
grabbing tools to shatter me into smaller and smaller pieces,
until i sparkle like stars,
but hurt far worse than they ever could.

there is no meaningful way to express this suffering,
because it's all the same words,
the same lines,
that come up from everyone, every time.

does my suffering stand out enough to the audience yet?
or will i be on this lonely stage forever?
Beauty that
is on
the outside,
can hide
something
that we
cannot seek,
involving pains,
hurts and trauma,
Inside of Beauty,
that can
cut so deep,
A Beautiful
face hides
the secret
of a poor, poor
broken soul,
a smile and
a pretty face,
within this
can feel
so, so low,
of flowing tears,
soft cries, and
So, so much
sorrow,
even through
the agony
within a beauty
hides suffering,
that no one
can
detect or know

Your aching heart
Is suffering in silence
As the days drag on
You don't hide it

Pain on parade
Like a circus train
But you're  not clowning around
No, You're not hanging around...

Pain bloomed,
along its festering vines
It's tendrils
peered through my eyes
I could feel them,
throughout my exposure
choking me, suffocating.
I was reborn
I was trapped, content.
My body, never again was rhythmic
With fueled strength,
I watched in distance,
how they burned.
Hanna Jul 25
I don't mind suffering
You're redefining me
With every sharp sting
I know your within me

Together we fight
All throughout the night
Your by my side
Your my guiding light

Never will you flee
You say this is how it's meant to be
You love me
I love you
Anything we can do

Your my reminder
And I surrender
I give you my fears
And you wash away my tears

I feel you so deep
So I take that leap
You catch my hand
For you are my one true man
I'll give you all that I can
You and me until the very end


Jesus Is Lord
