Thank Heaven!! The crisis..🍂
The danger is past!🌿
&lingering illness...🎋
Is over at last!.🎉
& the fever called "living"🎈
Is conquered at last!🎆🍃🌈
@PluckyStrawberries3154, I like this poem very much! The rhymes are interesting, and I love the image of "the fever" of living. 
Trigger Warning (suicide)
Life isn't worth
The fight i fight
Every day.
I want you
To know
But I can't say.
My arm bleeds,
My mind is
killing me.
I'm just so tired
Of being what
I can't be.
I want to be free
From judging faces,
I want to fly.
Escape this painful
Reality,
I want to die.
Suicide does not
mean there
Was no killer.
It just means
He didn't
Pull the triger.
@wolfgirl404, This is a beautiful poem, even though the subject matter is very dark.
There are a number of phrases I especially admire, but this one--wow:
My mind is killing me.
The truth and tragedy in that sentence -- stunning.
Sorry,
I didn't see enough,
To know you weren't okay.
Sorry,
I wasn't strong enough,
To push you along each day.
Sorry,
I couldn't help enough,
to make you understand.
Sorry,
I wasn't good enough,
To drag you up to land
Sorry,
I couldn't mend enough,
To fix all your scars.
Sorry,
I couldn't shine enough,
When you couldn't see the stars.
Sorry,
I was too selfish,
to worry about your trouble.
Sorry,
I couldn't lift enough,
To pick up all your rubble
Sorry,
I had other things,
That were taking up my time.
Sorry,
I wasn't understanding,
That you were losing your mind.
Sorry,
I wasn't noticing,
How you just wanted to leave.
Sorry,
I wasn't getting,
All the strength you needed to breathe.
Sorry,
I was busy,
I couldn't help right then.
Sorry,
I was blinded,
But I saw you in the end.
Beautiful words. You see something and say it.
This poem touched me deeply. I read it several times. I think many of us do that, we get so busy in our lives that, it's true, we don't notice the person who is struggling. We have good intentions, but we may not reach out enough to help.
(That's one of the reasons that 7 Cups of Tea is so great -- we get a chance to help, and be helped!)
No tears
All smiles
Infinite scars
Dry eyes
Rimmed in red
Wet pillow
Healthy body
Hidden alcohol
Truly sick
i really love this so much, warmth
Run
I run in sprints, not marathons,
What matters is, I run.
What matters is the distance passed
The line I'll cross when done
Of all this ceaseless running at
The end of this long race.
I want to run with proper form,
With poise and speed and grace.
I want to breathe without a hitch
As on the track I go
With proper pacing, blocking not
The race's even flow.
I want to have some time to rest
To cool my burning feet
And watch the others pass me by
Their finish line to meet.
I want to rest and feel no shame,
No guilt when I resume.
I want to run towards a goal
And not against a doom.
Being in his presence makes me feel
as if a freight train hit me in the lungs.
I could get lost in his eyes.
Everytime I see his face or hear his voice
my lungs collapse in on themselves.
When he looks at me,
I think I could die.
I panic so much around him,
after I see him I feel
as if I ran a marathon.
His laugh makes me feel
like a giddy baby.
Having his approval feels like
my lifes meaning has been fulfilled.
I can't stand a day away.
I would explode with giddiness
if he felt the same.
IM SORRY
I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm a monster
I'm sorry you can't see the regret in my eyes
But honey
Your not perfect either
And no one apologized for making me this way
@pikachu,
There is a poignant sorrow mixed with harshness that gives this poem power. And I think you're a beautiful poet, not a monster.
Never apologize for being you. Never see yourself as anything less than perfect. You are individual, a completely unique identity that can never be replicated again - how amazing is that? There is great strength and beauty within you - you're a survivor, not a monster. Don't let others bring you down, you're worth more than that.
The loneliness feeling
No one to share secrets
To talk about heartbreaks
The emptiness feeling
Hidden deep down
No one sees it
Soon enough
The shadow starts to disappear
The feeling is being alone
No on to turn to
No one to understand you
Nobody is here anymore.
Dear @Vietnumesemonkee, This poem about loneliness is heartfelt and beautiful. I really like it, even though it makes me feel sad.
"just take a deep breath"
OH,
MY . . . .
This poem is amazing!!
How could I possibly have missed it the first time I read this page?!!
Clipped wings, repeated mistakes, betrayed, heart breaks
I was an angel once
All shiny and new
Innocent and naive
Clip
I loved my friends
I had many
Now I have one
Clip
I had a crush
Even a a relationship
Then my heart broke
Clip
I'd get better
I'd smile again
Then it'd repeat
Clip
I make a new friend
Grow a new crush
Repeat
Clip
She was my best friend
He broke me
Repeat
Clip
She wiped my tears
Heart break
Repeat
clip
She betrayed me
Heart break
Repeat
Clip
Betrayal
Heart break
Repeat
