I returned to that place
A constant flow of poetic sentences fill my mind at increasing speeds i cannot control make me wonder, why am I still here.
Is is to read, write, love and express or be forced into uncomfortable situations with my guidance councillor to tell them I'm ok.
But I am not ok.
give me cancer, make me blind so I cannot see the appearances of others but merely feel their soul, they tell me high school is pathetic but adulthood seems just as painful, maybe the reason my dad is always angry is because he knows none of this is worth it, we are simply 7 billion people trying to stay strong for each other, that's it isn't it? That's why I'm still here. Fo

I want to die in eternal ecstasy
Burn me. I want to burn in hell and die in eternal ecstasy. I cant live without you, talk to me, say something, I'm drowning myself in my own frustration, you've shot down my walls in an instant and manifested yourself into my brain, in four months you've taken over my way of life and corrupted my thoughts. You are everything I want and everything I want to get the fuck away, without you I am nothing. I am a ticking time bomb waiting to explode or just deteriorate from the inside out, or the outside in, showing signs of weakness before they reach my inner self. With you I am a ball of self hatred bullying myself because I will never be good e
when you think about your future, what do you see?
what you truly desire, or what your burdened mind is anticipating judged on cruel words and sly comments.
do you see what you hope to be,
Or what others hope for you to be.
Do you see what only you can control, with your own heart and mind, your own decisions and recollections.
Or do you see what other judgments made by other people have come up with in a head that you do not understand.
I will become what I want myself to become,
Not what you hope for me to become, I refuse to be buried in your hopes for me, I will rocket into my hopes for myself.
It's hard enough trying to define who you ar
so you asked me to write you a poem by shelbysingleton, literature
Literature
so you asked me to write you a poem
so you asked me to write you an apology poem,
although im not too good with words,
but i figured id give it a go because i dont want to loose you.
and id rather embarrass myself with bad literature than loose someone whose always been there,
whose simple smile, or cute hair flick, can make my day,
or someone whose eyes look like sapphires, and looking into them is like looking into the deepest sea, or the highest sky, not knowing where it will finish, and being afraid to dive in because you dont want to get lost, and drown.
and then you say 'what?'
and I realize im sitting on a park bench staring at you like a retard.
and i know what i did wa
Maybe she does it because she feels empty, and although that emptiness cant be filled with a one night stand, its still that temporary high of feeling loved, and feeling needed, and as he's whispering pretty things into her ear and she knows they aren't true, she still feels that sacrificing her body, her dignity, her self esteem, hearing those pretty things still makes her feel wonderful enough to come back for more.
Because either way she will still go home to a family that dreads her company, a classroom full of people calling her everything in the book, a friend group who she knows doesn't want her there, and say nasty things behind her b

What happens when the sun sets. by shelbysingleton, literature

What happens when the sun sets.
I could describe to in detail what happens when the sun sets,
how the colors seem to mix together like they're dancing,
and the sun seems to be saying goodbye, how ever so sweetly, because although he'll be back tomorrow morning, and we have to moon to keep us company while hes gone,
we're still going to miss him, not the kind of missing like when a friend dies, or when your pet runs away.
But like hes been taken away from you, like someones ripped off your warm bright blanket and now your lying there cold, exposed and afraid, your vulnerable to the painful sting of raindrops when the wind is pushing them against you at 15 kilometers per hou
I'm in your room and on my tiptoes - as usual.
It's slick with the scent of rose and Dowel wood -
Which I detest,
which he still loves even now.
I run your old towel-dress under the shelves,
dismantling the cobwebs you've left behind. They
stick to the fabric, bind the fibres - but unwind
the ones in my mind. (The ones that are his now.
Never mine.) Nevermind -
The sun blares, making shadow puppets through
the hole in the blind. Your car
- ours now -
is parked outside. He got it in the will.
The man doesn't even drive.
He hollers from the kitchen, offers me a coffee.
In your mug.
Offers me a hug on the side - why, I know he's

Arrive sad at our date, dear.
Come embittered, suffering the hardest of depressions. Leave no agony at home. Bring all possible sadness to our encounter. Dust off the repressed memories, take all the sorrow you can find, hold on to those tears, and finally release it all ... only once you're with me.
My challenge begins there, honey.
The test that'll prove me worthy of being with you.
Once on the verge of emotional collapse, let the pressure of your grief bring you down. I'm dying to catch you and make you stand tall, so we see the world from the angle intended for you. Let your insecurities drown you in their lies; I'll be the air that re
Nothing is stopping you
but you.
I hope these words ring true
for you.
There’s nothing more to say
to you.
I’ve spent my yesterday
on you.
And it wasn’t enough.
The day I die
I’ll look at God
right in the eye
and ask him why
nothing I write
would make things right…
Nothing is stopping me
but me.
I hope there’s still a place
for me.
There’s nothing left to say
to me.
I’ve spent my holiday
on me.
And it wasn’t enough.
After the end
I’ll talk with God
and I intend
to comprehend
the wars I fight
to make things right…
But it’s not ab
Whatever makes them popular today
Will be the death of them tomorrow
With looks like that they can say anything
And their insecure flock will follow
Run for your life, break away from the flock
Grow a back bone and do your own thing
Fear not for the adverse consequences
Living a lie brings much more suffering
What these people consider ‘scene’ today
Will of course not be seen tomorrow
Image is just a temporary façade
And yet these blind fools seem to follow
Run for your life, break away from the flock
And sing only from your own hymm sheet
Form your own ideas and opinions
Don’t recite someone else’s beliefs
I stole the smiles from both of my parent’s faces
The very same one I was responsible for
On the day I was delivered into their arms
In a cloth, from the beak of a black feathered stork
From the very first day with my very first breath
Though I was not able to speak a single word
It was evident as the nurses bowed their heads
That this boy with the dilated pupils was cursed
Everything I’ve ever grown to love and desire
In one way or another I have now destroyed
Yet still I have the temerity to question
Why it is that I can never seem to find joy
I stole the smiles from both of my parent’s faces
I would do anything at all

Suicide Is Not An Option
I find myself weaving the final stitches
Of a noose I have been working on for a while
I swore I’d use it by the time it was complete
If me and my sanity hadn’t reconciled
Each thread representing a flawed emotion
Which tightly woven together makes up my life
If you’re the one to cut me down from the rafters
Love, patience and understanding must be your knife
I find myself with a gun in my right hand
With only one bullet left in the cold chamber
I hand the loaded pistol with safety off
Blindly in to the hands of a complete stranger
Does this represent me opening my heart
And risking a life of abject, dismal sorrow
This Go
She's that one girl you see with the pencil woven
between her skinny fingers
She's the one who sits in the corner
instead of the middle of the room
The one who's always last to speak
The one who's words are kept secret to everyone
but herself
Always the one who bites
her own tongue
She's the girl who's beautiful
but doesn't think the same way
She's the one who can't be convinced
of the talents she holds
The flare that ignites the lives of the people around her
but she can't feel the heat for herself
She is weighed down by the insecurities she slings
over her shoulders
She's unconvinced of her own style
her own special self
She'
