TW maybe?

As I walk down a street of broken memories

Blurred visions of people that I could not please

A shadow man whispers in my ear

"You know and I know, no one wants you here."

I ignore his words, but the feeling is there,

I cannot pretend that I do not care

I really like your poem! I can really see how the “shadow man” is probably the personification of doubt and overthinking - of intrusive thoughts that are our mind’s tricks. I’d be interested in reading more of your poetry

Basically it's about trying to ignore feelings of not being good enough or like you don't matter. I wrote it recently to try and explain how I feel.

I think it’s able to express your feelings very well and captures your thoughts quite nicely

When no one understand the pain
No one can see you're suffering
It's one of the cruellest to go through
Feeling the burn inside of you

Here I am waiting. Im waiting for my love. I've been here through the cold and snow. I've been here through the wind and rain. Still, they never came. Im still here waiting. Waiting for my love. They are like me. My love is gender FLUID. I guess like water they slipped from my grasp. Here I am waiting. Im Waiting for my love. -Ashrunningwiththewolves.

Trigger warning: mention of death and suicide

I hate my life


I love it when words rhyme,but to do that it takes time,Oh I just hate my life,I wonder how I’m still alive,This feels wicked,just not like a wizard,and after crying I feel sickened,sickened of what was once hidden,hidden pain but no gain,in my bed I lay,wondering how I’m here up till today,questioning “who would want me to stay anyway?”

Every problem…


I cried myself to sleep,Oh I wish I didn’t dream,dreaming of things that ruined me,I’m not as innocent as you may think and see,I just make my world seem happy here and there,While hiding my scattered problems everywhere,I’m not a robot with no heart,I am a teen who’s always at fault,I am the cause of every problem,I should’ve made and album,For every problem I couldn’t solve,

Wishing the world would just evolve.

2 Cornered Animals


2 Cornered animals,

Corner one another,

You’d better either put it down,

Or rend me asunder.


As much as I’d rather close my eyes,

I know that I can't blink.

As much as I’d rather walk away,

I promise I won't leave.


You think you’re the one who’s afraid?

You’ve already checked out.

I’ll suffer this, I’ll suffer you,

Just to relieve your doubt.


I never wanted you to feel this way…

And I don't know when I will feel again.

Shush, dear, no need to cry

Even though I don't mean to pry

The wounds on your heart tell me that this is a lie

Don't be afraid, dear, I'm here 'till you die

Trigger warning : mention of death and suicide


Non-existent :

Going about to people please, just to make you feel at ease

giving up my boundaries, I just have no personalities

copying everything in sight, losing interest in things I’ve once liked

I’ve given in on my dreams, seeing no chance to be redeemed

is this life just a trap? Or am I the one making it crap?

I wish I was non-existent, for I perish in an instance
