Today.
21st of June.
Marks the 2nd month that I went out of therapy.
Today.
21st of june.
You set me free.
well in truth you wanted to dump me out of spite
calling me names, trying to hurt me.
all because i pointed out the glaring truth.
the elephant in the room.
that you dont love me.
and i no longer wish to continue loving you.
and 1 - 1 = 0
No more you...and now...no more me.
Our plans no longer mean to me
anything.
and that hurts you.
I'm sorry.
but for the longest time...I've let you hurt me.
And now that you cant use me. or fuck me...or control me...
i'm a bitch that you wish to have a miserable life
that is your last words.
to me.
so much proof...
that you really dont love me.
and i'm not wrong.
in letting you go...
only...you still wish to think...YOU let me go.
for your narcissistic peace of mind.
at least i dont hate you
goodbye.
My beautiful girl this world is not a curse Some days are bright with sun to spare Others feel like they blend together Happiness will fill your beautiful heart And bring forth your sweetest smile This world can harbor darkness and despair You will find no answers down there Pain will overflow from your pockets Intern teaching you this life is precious Love will flow out through your passions You'll feel many things in this world Please take your sweet gift and embrace it Live for you me and everyone in between Hold on tight to those that you can Those you can't just let go Be true to you and pride will simply be My beautiful girl this world is not a curse It's just your special place in this universe
@Maxlexie2
This is gorgeous. The formatting was unique and added to the poem as well. It reminds me of E. E. Cummings if you've ever read any of his work.
It's a beautiful and moving poem. Keep writing darling!
@ThisWasATriumph thank you!
This has some mentions of depression and a past relationship, it is not abusive, just ended on a wrong note.
Wake Up, Live again!
------------------------------------------------------
I feel like my life is rehearsed
My soul had been cursed
From the day I was born
To the day my heart was torn
They say time will ease the pain
But I all hear is indistinguishable sounds
Feeling like their is nothing left to gain
Where mountains become hills and hills become mounds
Eventually everything fades to dust
To find a propose to live I must
Its harder then it seems
Forever you are in my dreams
In fantasies you still want me
In nightmares you are what I want to flee
I should have known
Secrets are the seeds of misfortune
Breaking your life apart once grown
Creating a life long distortion
Things said cannot be unspoken
Even when you were never dishonest
Once perfect now lay broken
The life you once promised
I should move on
But its hard to fight addiction
My hearts true desire
Your words I still admire
Still my hearts affliction
No... Masks I shall no longer Don!
This is it, my Redemption!
Building a path with Determination!
I need no Salvation!
Because this is a demon of my own Creation!
I will longer be set to Stagnation!
No more Procrastination!
My goal is set for Completion!
So idk if this counts as poetry and I've never actually tried to creat anything. What I'm posting is basically everything I'm feeling. Comments are welcome.
What is it about you?
Is it that sweet smile
Or the strange giggle I hear when you see something amusing
Maybe it's the way you look at me
Do you notice when I look at you?
I notice the way your eyes sparkle
The lisp that you hate and I adore
Every one of what you think are flaws
Are what I love about you
I can't describe how I feel when you touch my hand
Or look into my eyes
I can only say that I love everything about you
But you will never know because if you did
I would lose you forever
@UnknownTurtle
I've seen this a few times on my feed and I adore it. You've captured this feeling in a way that is often hard to express. I was surprised to see your note at the top because this is absolutely poetry and absolutely poetic. You have a gift for poetry and I just wanted to let you know.
I didn't know whether or not to comment when it was on my feed because it seemed so private, but now that it's here... since the first time I saw it I thought it was beautiful. It's the reason I followed you, actually. Chin up, darling. Whatever you're going through is temporary and you have an amazing gift when it comes to art. <3
I listen to your lies
I hide my tears behind false smiles
I nod and i agree to everything you say
I convince myself you love me
But when reality strikes
The tears dont hide
The true feelings surface
And your love turns to lies
In moments of clarity
I resent you
But as soon as you hold me
The resentment is gone
And you trap me once more
@Limbo32, the dilemma you portray is very real. The uncertainties, the seeming clarity when apart, and the dissolving of reason when together -- well said.
It's embarrassing
sorry if it's bad...
"Asphyxiated by the dead"
I wanna breath that I can take
Please don't let this breath be fake
You rip my throat of lies
You can see behind these eyes
Nothing's innocent anymore
I've been stripped right to the core
Of past, present and future
I'm not human anymore
I'm your dressed-up creature
I make a squeak of help
Not a roaring Yelp
I've put my socks on wrong again
Who cares, I'm already dead you cannot mend
My cut up throat where you stole my voice
You stole my breath
The most
Your words are like daggers cutting into me
They cut my cords of screaming for you to let me be
Do you not see?
What you do to me?
Because you've stolen my breath
I gasp for air
Please be fair
I need one breath
To set me free
One more breath
One piece of me
To keep me breathless
That's all I need
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing comes in
Without a doubt
Not a raindrop can save me now
I need one breath
To set me free
One more breath
One piece of me
To keep me breathless
That's all I need
...

I Didn't Expect This
I can taste the color red
With all this spinning in my head
My eyes are closed
But my door isn't closed
Life is just a mess of words
And sometimes it hurts
Some of the metaphors reference triggery stuff (SI, Abuse, Trauma, Gender Issues) if you really look at it so. . .
Body
This is the cup the holds my soul
china bearing tea and milk and sugar
trembling and fragile on the table
rattling enough to be heard
there are chips in the paint
where cutlery in the sink
scraped the sides,
left barely there scratches
divots and tiny cracks
from too rough treatment
vein all around
giving texture to the smoothness
stains on the inside
colors mixing
some darker than others
tell the tale of drinks past
pink flowers grace vines
twining the sides
and they should be blue,
a manufacturing defect
carefully I clean the cup
polish it and wrap it softly
set it lightly on its shelf
It is the cup that holds my soul
@PubliusQ this was very moving! Thank you for sharing it.
@PubliusQ man i really like how you conveyed so much through the extended metaphor and damn that is some mad good imagery
( triggers: self harm, drugs)
Given to me
For one so young what do I have to offer
The shot glass for the liquor I drink
The water to down the drugs I choose to take
A spot on the bench I sometimes sleep
My bloody shirt from the cuts I need
The tears I leek for this painful life
For I have nothing to offer nothing worthy
Just broken bits and pieces of me
In a world I'm not sure I wanted to be
Now this decision will determine our fait
I choose to grow big and create another
And the things I learn I will forever remember
I have ears to hear your tinny voice
Lips to kiss your beautiful face
My arms to comfort you everyday
And love that comes from this little place
But it is not just I that can offer
You give to me so many things
Your eyes melt my heart with compassion
That bright smile empowers me with strength
The purity in your heart releases my sins
For one so young what do I have to offer
I offer my life for it is what u have givin to me
Lovely world, why do you hurt me so?
Through my breath I gave you life,
Gave you greatness for which you could strive
But you turned your back on me,
Evil eyes smiling with glee,
A world of grey,
Cold and filled with decay.
You wage wars against one another,
Poison dripping from the tip of your tongues,
With greed in your heart,
You'd kill your own mother and father.
What happened to young innocence once so pure?
