#thinking poems on Hello Poetry

Arii 1d

Set a house on fire
And don’t turn back,

Take a drag of smoke,
Hear a ribcage crack,

Let an ***** fall
And a lone soul fail,

Watch as a star
drops like hail.

Bite a rotting body
With no distaste,

Fill an esophagus
With dirt and clay,

Swallow sandy water
That’s been washed away,

Pretend that when the moon
comes up, it’s day.

Pour a glass of gasoline
And say it’s wine,

Light a bomb inside
And say it’s fine,

Throw away a million dollars
With a smile,

Peel the value of a property,
Tile by tile.

Desperate people
Do

Desperate
Things.

There’s no convincing
Someone

Who’s not in the
mind to
Think.

Arii 2d

Averted Attention

Fly me away
To the moon
And fill my head up
With all of
You.

A million restless nights, and then
A million
More.

Haven’t you had enough
Time in my head
To settle the
Score?

I close my eyes
And let the truth fade,

Blissful ignorance
Is what brings me no
Pain.

If I pretend not to know
So much,
Too much,
Will you stay the same?

ignorance is bliss.

Thinking reed

The dramatic question
..What is
going on with me?
What's happening
in the world around me?

Everything moves
..I follow
and think
about what it means
and the images shift

I bend
..to the wind
which always blows
There is never any certainty
as to what is going on

Thinking reed: "Pensées" ("Thoughts", 1669, Blaise Pascal), section VI "Foy sans raisonnement" ("The Philosophers" / "Faith without reasoning"), Pensée #347 - L'homme n'est qu'un roseau, le plus faible de la nature; mais c'est un roseau pensant.

Collection "Metamorphic body"

Stuck in my ways

Empty
Numb
Heaviness
Can't seem to think less.

Each day im fading
Is anyone listening?

Long nights
Headaches
Cant see through the thoughts
But feeling i will still make it to the stop.
I cant make these loops stop

Scrolling
Binging
Pretending
This isnt living.

Substance abuse,
Doesnt even get me through.
Where is my muse?
A change,
must be made.
I cannot maintain
living in this frame.
When will i finally start
To follow through.

Im sick of my own ways

Excuses,
contemplate
Going insane
What is the point
Of anything
If i just spend my days fading away

Never commit
"Shes A flake"
I know.
Im so tired of being this way
Hating how i live
Feeling shame
In who i am,
Wishing i was different
I want to commit
To me again

I want to jump all in.
Leave all this **** at the door
find the free spirit within
I will do what best for me,
Even if it takes some pain.
Anything is better,
Than living this way.

change is being made
Surrender
what are you scared of?
Trust
It will be okay
Simple,
not a debate
just need to get out
of my own way
Change is here.
Can't keep running from the girl
locked in here
staring back at me in the mirror

She says,
let go.
Change is here.
No need for fear,
my dear.

Thankin’

Hum…. this page is blank
Wonder what I’m supposed to thank
No not thank you, what I’m thankin’ about
Thankin’ what makes me mad, makes me shout
Scrambled eggs and brains, that’s what people eat
No brains, I’ll guess I’ll put my point on repeat
I’m thankin’ hard, mind is charging double overtime
That’s a high price to pay for just a simple rhyme

Still working off my new pad.

Time

Time is drifting

Love comes and goes

I'm sitting here with my windows closed

Staring out

Never figuring anything out

What should my life be about...

Don't let life pass you by

Ringmaster

Between illusion of equality and the unjust reality lies a menagerie of misinformation
Compounded by media which controls the majority of the population
Wealth and many classes divide us into multiple sides
Partial recognition what society provides
One thinks perhaps this is a VHS rewinding faster and faster
Three-ring circus orchestrated by the government playing ringmaster

Written after reading a little Roxanne Gay

It's All in your Mind

Just Make up in your mind,
that its gonna be alright,
It's all in how you think,
as your ideas influence foresight?

Just look into the future, and
just start to believe,
It will happen when the time is right,
Just watch and you will see.

It's all within your Thoughts,
It is Deep within your Head,
Your mind is like a garden,
as if tending to your gardening bed.

SO, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT,
certain thoughts come from time to time,
Just keep the negative ones at bay, because,
IT'S ALL WITHIN YOUR MIND!!!!

Can't sleep

Be, be, be
Everything rhymes
Why is it me?

Me, me, me
I don't want to be
I just want to see
See colours and flavours and,
everything I cannot be
things I want to see
things when I try to breathe
To relieve myself of things I need
Things I need and ways I feed

Feed, feed, feed
Feeling like food is not how it's supposed to be
Not how I should feel
Food is an enemy, food is a friend
Food nourishes to no end
So why oh why does it hurt to eat?
It shouldn't, that's why,
we all try not to eat

Try, try, try
I cannot comprehend why
Me oh no I
why do I try
Everything they do just makes me cry
Just be normal
Just be kind
All I want
Is to wake up and see the light
Light from which I no longer have to try
to see,
cry,

Maybe it's better to sleep at night
