Brownies

Chocolate-y sustenance 

I smell them cooking in

The oven, stomach’s grumblin’ 

Thick heavy fudge

I feel the pudge

On my face, it burns 

I love the smell, but I just don’t feel

Like eating today, or ever again

My tummy hurts, for better or worse

I don’t want to be hungry, don’t want to pretend 

That I’m alright, it takes some time

To heal and grow and process life

But I just can’t 

Eat a snack

Or meal or anything right now

I’m scared to grow, scared to feel

I sometimes don’t want the scars to heal 

I’m afraid of being, afraid of seeing

The things I try so hard to conceal

I’m In too much pain to work out 

My heart rate’s far out of bounds

My blood pressure’s six feet underground 

Ibuprofen won’t work right now 

Wake up on the floor

Smell the brownies through the door

Nauseous wafts of the sweetest shame

Stomach churning, it’s all the same

To me

[bookspoemssongsetc]

Hurricane:

Raging winds, sobbing skies

Drowning streets and crashing lies

Trees are falling, crushing buildings

Families too, and lost puppies

But somewhere deep beneath 

The flooding and the lack of sleep

Lies a beauty most fail to see

In nature’s greatest mysteries 

Beneath the livid thunder 

And storms that throw roads asunder

Is an ineffable sorrow, fervent grief

That claws fiercely at the heartstrings

Of a heartbroken soul whose spirit’s been shattered 

Trampled and burnt and torn and ravaged

Its trust has been broken, boundaries ignored

By greedy beings that live in its world

So it storms with the rage of a thousand seas

Ignores the young and innocent pleas

It thunders and thrashes, countless car crashes

Pile up atop a crumbled street

For we, too, ignored its pleas

Poisoned its waters, and killed its trees

Pumped its life force with gasoline 

And left the air harmful to breathe 

We never said sorry, never fixed

The damage we caused, we got to live

After taking the lives of many creatures 

Just to increase the revenue 

So until we fix our rotten deeds

Our victims will rage without mercy

Until we apologize with our actions

The cycle will repeat

Again 

And again

Until there’s nothing left

I Really Hate It When People Yell:

Does the sun really smile?

Does it really gleam and glow?

Or is its face scrunched in pain

From the heat it can’t control?

Do the birds really sing?

Do they really chirp and chime?

Or are they just trying to be heard

Without making a rhyme?

Sometimes the world’s too loud 

Too many voices and words

Overlapping I start snapping 

I can’t concentrate, stuck on the last verse

Sometimes the room’s too full

Of strangers and wandering eyes

Always watching, I feel like sobbing

Don’t want them to see me cry

Do they even realize 

That their voices hold power too?

I’m staring with wide eyes 

What did I say? What did I do?

I must’ve done something wrong

To hear your voice boom through the hall

I must be in trouble 

Want to raise my headphone volume double

To block out the piercing arguments

The ruckus of today’s events

I’ll blast my ears with melodic rock

To silence the world and my thoughts

I try not to yell, try not to slip

An exchange of harsh words hurling from my lips

I try not to cry, try not to scream

When my inner thoughts turn cold and mean

But sometimes I can’t hear

The tone in my speech

Sometimes I’m unaware

Of when I scream and screech 

I’m sorry for that

I don’t want you to feel

How I do 

When I hear a scratching squeal

So please don’t startle me, 

Please don’t yell 

I’m sensitive and anxious 

Ain’t that just swell 

If you need something, 

Please don’t shout my name

Write it down, or just text me

I’ll receive it all the same

Please don’t slam the doors

Please don’t kick the floors

If you’re upset or stressed,

There’s plenty of putty and slime, it’s all yours

I’m not angry,

I’m just letting you know 

How I feel through a poem

Guess I’ve gotten that low 

Please take this into consideration,

If you can

Oh, and please don’t clank pots and pans

Bloody Rose

@thecrazyalchemist (for your request) (sorry, I know it’s not that good)

Stuffy nose, tiptoe

Don’t wake the beast from it’s slumber

Hold your breath, watch your step

One wrong move, and he’ll pull you under 

Ghostly glare, sour snare

He doesn’t want you to leave

Don’t fight back, he might snap

Though you crave to be brave

You wake up sweating, trapped again

In the sickening embrace of a much older man

You manage to leave the tangled sheets

Bloody roses at your feet

Pounding headache, mind in a daze

Freedom is just in your sights

Rush to the door, feet quiet on the floor

Stepping into the sunny outside 

You find yourself by a lake

Another fresh breath you take

A moment of peace for once in forever 

Hoping dreadful ties will soon be severed

But that lingering dread settles in your chest

The bloody rose takes its hold 

On your long gone innocence and sanity

You know that there is no rest

But maybe one day, you’ll be free

Maybe one day, you’ll feel the breeze

Of carefree unbridled glee

Maybe one day

One day

One day

[bookspoemssongsetc]

Wither

My body’s tired and weak

I haven’t showered and I reek

Of pungent panic 

I wash my tears down the sink

I broke my Duolingo streak

And I feel 

So hopeless

I’m tired of seeing my chest

I’m trying hard to try my best 

But I

Can’t breathe 

And I’m trying to get some rest

I’ll fail every test

I know

I’m stupid 

I’m sick of being sick in my head

I’m tired of being tired in my bed

All day and night

I’m drained and lonely

Don’t want you to hold me

I’m fine

I swear

I’m standing up, I sit back down

I see your disappointed frown 

When will I finally be able to help out?

But my head hurts, legs burn

Can’t think, I blink

And the lens changes 

To a blurry haze of memories 

scrambled up and spit back out in front of my eyes

My motivation’s gone, there is no God

And I’m just a pile of fucked up tar

That fell off the counter and broke his jar

And I’m useless

Sweep me up, throw me into the trash can 

Don’t have the strength to hit back

And I can’t prove that

I’m any worth to you

So cut me down to dust and watch me wither away

Another day I crave my blood

Memories and darkness flood

But you won’t let me leave 

Seems I’m everything, yet nothing still

I think I’ve had my fill

Of sharp stares and nightmares

Of heartaches and worries

Of never being able

To make somebody smile

I think it’s been a while

Since I’ve seen someone be happy around me

Maybe I am the curse

Maybe I’m the one who wore you down 

Maybe im the one who scared your grin away

Memories to which I’m drawn to chase

Back into the Pyrex jar 

Don’t know how I got this far

From sane

Guess I’ll just stand here and wither away

I Don’t Wanna Die (But I Do):

Images flash

One red slash

Down my wrist would end it all

Tears stream 

A crimson creek

Pours from me as I stumble and fall

But I can’t

I promised my aunt

I’d call her when the thoughts come back

I have a family 

They’d really miss me

If I let myself crumble and fade to black

But maybe things would’ve been better

If I’d never been born, if I didn’t matter

If my mother never met

My disgrace of a father

Who yelled and screamed and made her heart hurt

Maybe then she wouldn’t have to see

Her son swimming in misery

Maybe then she wouldn’t have to pay

The bills for my therapy

But I made a promise 

I made a deal

With my uncle that I’d call 

If I ever feel

Like this again, yet here I am

Writing a poem about dying, while lying in bed

But I have siblings 

They’d really be sad

If I let my soul leave this land

I have a mother

Strong and kind

If she found my dead body, she’d lose her mind 

I have three rats

A dog and a gecko

They’d really be mad, If I let myself let go 

I have a best friend 

Awesome and rad

If my life was no longer, she wouldn’t be glad

So if not for me, for them, I suppose 

I’ll stay alive, I’ll stay close

I’ll live my life, no take backs nor regrets

Ill rise with the sunrise and fall with the sunset

I know there’ll come a time again

When I wake up and crave for my red

But I’ll write another 

poem about death

If that’s what it takes

to not draw my last breath 

[bookspoemssongsetc]

Scars

Empty mind, red lines

Blood is slowly trickling

Down my skin, I fall and sit

Down my head is spinning 

What have I done? I’ll cover it up

Beneath long sleeves and apologies

I smile and nod to hide my thoughts 

But inside I’m panicking

What the fuck is going on?

Gotta be careful, I’ll get caught

In my own anxiety 

Don’t know why I’m crying

I’ve got these scars from a difficult time

I couldn’t escape the void of my mind

So I took sharp metal to my thighs

The thoughts would settle, I realized 

But soon that pain would come back tenfold 

Tried to hide the evidence of my struggles 

Behind dark sweats, I was a mess

Felt hopeless as I stuttered and stumbled

So here is sit

Remembering crimson

Running down my thighs

A candle lit

So many memories held

In tiny white lines

Bumps and craters

My mind used to cater

To a static haze that clouded my brain

But now I am stronger

Now I no longer

Rely on a blade to ease the pain

Though the fuzzy buzzing still bumbles

It’s much more subtle

I’ve finally learned to dance in the rain

Drip drop dripping

My conscious slipping

Into a soft dream

Full of warm sunbeams

And warmer smiles 

[bookspoemssongsetc]

@rainydaywithcats this ones for you :)

(My main is @unstableunicornsofasgard btw)

Rain:

Drip drop rain drops

Sorrowful splashes and rueful rain

I’m confused, really, what’s new?

Rain’s supposed to mean grief and pain

But here by your grave, a chrysalis cave

I can’t bring myself to feel a thing 

Tired and free, like wind in the trees

My mind is empty, nothing to think 

Sunshine in crying skies

Harsh cool winds and gentle droplets

Staring down, flower crowns 

The ones we never got to make

Your innocence stolen by a man much older

I watched your spirit crumble and break

Empty eyes, weight like a boulder

Crushing your hope, how long did it take?

For your mind to shatter, long since decayed

For your resolve to fade and wither away

I wonder often, here by your grave

The remnants of a girl, broken and frayed

If, somehow, you could see me now

Are you smiling? Are you happy? Are you free?

So here I stand, a broken man

Shards of a girl who died too young

Feet in the grass, I’m piecing the glass

Pieces of me that I lost back together

Somber smile, I reconcile

Raindrops gently grazing my skin 

Water flowing, sunshine golden

Against the locks my head is holding

Sky teal, I let myself feel

Breathing in the breeze

Lungs filled, smiling still

Finally, I’m free

Bubble Wrap:

Bubble wrap, keeping you safe

Shielding you from relentless hate

Gentle popping, never stopping

Holding you tightly through guilt and shame

Bubble wrap, breaking your fall

Protecting your soul, fragile and small

Silent crinkling, heart sealing

Mending the cracks within your walls

Bubble wrap, drying your tears

Warding off your biggest fears

Hugging you gently, a lullaby medley

Healing tunes reaching your ears

But bubble wrap doesn’t last forever

It can’t always shield from harsh weather

It too, has a life of its own

There comes a time when it has to go

And though the absence leaves you shaking

Cold and grieving, your heart breaking 

Its soul wraps around you still, 

Begging you not to take those pills

Don’t cut the line! Don’t end your life!

It’s easier said than done 

But I’ll be here, lingering near

I will be your sun

I’ll be your bubble wrap, bringing you warmth

I’ll keep you company when memories swarm

Singing softly, gentle rocking 

Quietly guarding your sleeping form

Rest easy now, safe and sound

I’ll cover your ears when the world is too loud

I’ll be here for you until the end 

‘Till my arm’s last pulse, I’ll be your friend

[bookspoemssongsetc]

Cake Doesn’t Hate:

Cake is a precious, beautiful food

It’s never been harsh, cruel, or rude

It always listens, no judgement shown,

Even when dazzling rainbows are flown

Up in the air, the cake doesn’t care,

It comes in many colors too,

And it doesn’t judge me, not like you,

When it learns my colors shine pink white and blue

For the cake has more morals than most of the world

Has more common sense hidden in dark chocolate swirls

It doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t imply

That it knows me better, with icy blue eyes

It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t scream,

It doesn’t tear at my broken seams

For cake comes in colors, just as we do,

From sassy red velvet to calm purple hues,

Cake comes in every shape, and every size,

From small and petite, to big and wide

Cake doesn’t whisper behind people’s backs,

Doesn’t disrespect them for things that they lack

Cake doesn’t judge any book by its cover,

For holding hands with their friends or their lovers

Cake doesn’t judge you for things you can’t control,

For how you were born,

For your beautiful fat rolls

Cake doesn’t take you and break you in two,

Cake doesn’t hate, neither should you

Blue Gatorade:

Sometimes when I’m alone I think 

Back to the time when I would drink

Out of a plastic bottle full of of Gatorade

And laugh as the boys and I would play

Alphabet at the cafeteria table

Trying to win but I was never able

Sometimes the boys and I would try 

To chug a whole bottle in less than five

Minutes and somehow I managed to win

Chugging battles, blue Gatorade dripping down my chin

Sometimes when I’m laying in bed 

It all comes back, the things I said

When my anger spiraled out of control

And my chest felt like a lump of coal

It drives me insane 

Remembering the way

I treated them so wrongly 

And I can’t help but to wonder

If, one day

I’ll ever be able to say ‘I’m sorry’

So here I stand

In the sand

Of my mind’s endless terrain

Standing alone

Watery tones

Blue Gatorade in my hand

Thinking of the days 

In a cafeteria maze

Chugging blue Gatorade 

Giggles and smiles fade

Into a memory haze

We Feel Too

I’m not like most others are

When sorrow hits the chances are

You’ll find me laughing, even dancing

Smiling, though hope is far 

From home, buried in the snow

Of life’s endless tragedies

When you find me giggling, know I’m simply

Preserving my scarce sanity

I’m not like most folks my age,

When the tides turn, I ride the waves

I tread the sea, a soft smile in tow,

As the water splashes against my soul

Crashing down, weighted crown,

Salty sadness trickling

Down my face, I’ve cracked the case

Haunting memories sickening 

I’m not like most other people 

I dance and sing, my mind lethal

I swish and sway, twirling away

With dying grace so regal

Mind in the clouds, foggy shroud,

Pleated skirt flowing

Wondering how I made it to now

Breezy daydreams my mind is sewing

In this way, I am like all,

Late at night, hot tears fall

Restless sobbing, headache throbbing,

Curled up in a tight little ball

Out of sight, past midnight

Tiring masks kiss the floor

Big fat tears, strangling fears,

Finally shown behind closed doors

Some don’t see that I feel too,

Though not as clear as most folks do

Not as loud, not as proud

Not as obvious as you’re used to

But just as vibrant, if not more

Colors, shapes and textures galore 

You’d see that fact if you looked further

Beyond your hate and vile fervor

Though we differ from most points of view 

We feel too, just like you
