Lounging at the edge of a cliff, I felt a shove Losing to these depths, I fell as a dove Landing on my feet, I glanced above Looking about me, I saw a grove Learning my new surroundings, my curious feet began to rove Living in this soft beauty around me, I’ve surely found a trove Lessened my burdens become, relaxing from the journey I strove Laying my shield down, I enjoy the feeling my heart has begun to wove
Dam that stretches across a plain. Holding back a freshwater ocean. The liquid filters through in steady streams. Providing love without the service of rain. Being in the keeper’s eye, is to receive more potion. Lingering in the keeper’s gaze, is to bathe in dreams. However, he lays with skin dry like grain. The parched throat he’s kept receives no devotion. If he’d only partook, he’d save his own esteems.

Her: my pitiful frailty
I'm so irreparably hurt I'm so unimaginably sad. This pain inside I feel is the literal hyperbole of bad. To throw myself off a bridge To end this unceasing pain. Her ability to forgive and forget continues to hauntingly reverberate throughout my brain. I pine for her entirety yet I want to move unequivocally on. My sorrow's deepest waters proved to be too sad for her song. Her future without Us Her happiness unthinkable with me. Is this what I am truly deserving of the loneliness of the free?

Her face
a friendly thought
in this sea of
empty
lonliness
we've been
no more
I am
surrounded
by seemingly hostile
untrustworthy
people, who surround me
my heart bites out
at perceived attacks,
their doubtful masquerades,
I hole up
my claws are out
I am ready.
Please,
Give... me.
sweet.
Relief.
Blood Rain
As it falls to the ground,
It tears down Her cheek
Does not make a sound.
The clouds are clear
But I am to blame,
Her gifted scars that lay on my back
Bring me to shame.
The earth absorbs it desperately
Consuming the taste of life,
Memories of Her lips
The metaphorical knife.
It is easy to neglect
Simply look away,
Ignorance, Her bliss
I can only await the day.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized, Purified, Justified,
As you let yourself show!
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope.
Listen I can't make,
Make a sound or feel,
Feel fine I kissed the lies,
Why must they be so kissable?
I crawl across this cracked expansion,
I'll be buried soon.
Beneath the sand with pure intentions.
Wanting
I don't know what went on,
Inside your whimsical head,
but I know that I now,
can't get out of bed.
The strength of the world is not on my shoulders,
it lays at my feet,
As I struggle to reach down and pick up a piece,
These chains of fear keep me to a wall of shame that was built without my knowing.
Honesty is no Sainte that can be revered,
It is a two headed beast whom you should never fully trust,
You gaze into its eyes and let it loose,
and it gets twisted and construed as it turns into an idea or thought that can stab you in the back.
I only wanted to talk,
I followed your rules,
Listened to your commands,
and gave up my back.
I was
I am born.
I am with mother.
I am warm.
This world is loud,
There are so many scents,
Mother's warmth will keep me safe.
I have two brothers, they are fun.
I compete with them, I fight with them.
I am the stronger of the two, and I am always the first to eat.
Mother is a good hunter, and soon I shall join her.
Mother is gone, she has abondoned us.
No matter, I will move on, I am plenty strong to fend for myself.
But I must search for new land, this one has too little to compete for.
I have not eaten for days, I am starving, but I must move on.
I smell a river a few miles ahead, and I see game.
There is an old one here, but I can handle him
My eyes, they are tired,
They see when they are open, they see when they are closed.
They see into the future and can remember the past,
My fears and joys I can all see in the corners of my mind.
The tears I hold back can only come when I see no reason to.
I see things that are there, that make sense,
I see things that aren't, that shouldn't,
Every image is burned into my memory, increasing my knowledge, my database
I am the witness, to everything, to everyone, to my own deeds.
Beauty is a word first associated with sight for most,
Ugliness is only understood by the eyes for most,
What most people see is what most people get,
What is the mo

After eight, the city is made
of some dark and arid crystal,
an amethyst drought to
dry your lips and tongue
and make a moonscape
of your eyes.
The sky’s too polluted for the stars –
we put them into the neon
and the broken glass.
I am not used to the heavens being
so close to hand or so cutting to my
soft bare skin.
I am used to skies like oceans,
and oceans as black and vast as night.
Sometimes, but not always,
fingers twitch
for the sweet wet cold
of a harbour town,
where the silos range white and
ugly like whalebone against the
slap and sigh of sea,
where my father goes walking
by the train tracks, by the wild and

I worked hard for this body by Meggie272, literature
Literature
I worked hard for this body
I worked hard for this body
by which I mean I was carefully
threaded together into a slick and
joyous mesh,
the oldest Mother’s weave,
a frantic chemical web,
her fingers smelling of silt and the sea
spinning a body stretching up from
the heels of these clay feet.
The catastrophic split
and the terrible tear of cells,
the bursting and divine
divide.
I endured it all, before I knew
what it was to endure
or to have hands
lungs
and eyes.
I worked hard for this body
in the rich blood sea of my mother’s belly,
I grew my legs as the ancient seadwellers
grew theirs, and took my first
breath of air as they took
theirs.
One day, m
I do not pretend
the earth loves me.
Darwin breathes down my neck.
The ocean breathes down my bones.
I am a flute hollowed
by spittle and rain. And I am not
special, nor alone.
I had an ear infection when I was newborn. Two
hundred years ago I would have died from it. I
would have been cut short -
small and screaming.
Every time I step outside at night, the trees tell me:
you’re not safe. A thousand antibiotics
can’t make you safe.
I’m not frightened.
I would lie myself down and wait for the tide.
I would do it any day.
Spill your blood on the seven swords –
as darkness comes, they are shouting
your name:
Artos, Artos, Artos.
You are not just a man. I’ll say it again,
even as you sweat and grunt, shag-headed,
terrible and real. You are not just a man. Let your
heavy head fall, and become
the bones of the hills
and the birds
of the sky.
Let them claim you for their own,
Emperor, o Emperor,
even as the smoke tastes bitter
on your tongue. The Sun is setting,
and the thing is done. Die, and live forever,
with what you’re given.
A crown of oak leaves,
and a lake,
for your resting place.
My emotions,
My emotions are an endlessly spinning gale of lighter and dark,
Time and again they tilt either towards the lighter side, or the darkness,
Each successive tilt holding longer than the last.
My consciousness struggles to remain in the lighter side,
but even I realize that it must hold to dark again.
My fear is not knowing if it will ever fall back,
and if I'll ever live again...
My eyes, they are weary,
They are weary with the things that I have seen that don't exist, or that shouldn't,
and with thoughts and knowledge that lay dormant within my mind, alerting me of their presence when I least expect it!
I am ashamed, and even af
I am a Monster. Though I am Loathe to be alluded to as such by anyone other than my self. A Monster... is one who is rejected by society. I am a Monster because I am alone. A Monster, as I've come to realize, is a thing which is alone, truly alone, rejected by it's own kind or it is considered as a Monster because it is rejected by its own kind, its own society. Reading these books in the viewpoints of Monsters I find myself relating to them. Their varying depths of sadness. I was a Monster before I validated my thoughts of being a Monster, put some form of concrete evidence to prove that I am what I say I am. Yet... I do not want them to cal
I was so close to perfection... so close to success... I was living in success... but then I brought it all down, and burnt it up... in the meantime slowly burning bridges it took years to create, even though I didn’t mean to... I was so close!... to becoming the golden child, the One who would bring everyone hope. But now I'm the dark child, the skeleton in the closet with a skeleton in the closet. How could I not have known that I was bringing myself to ruin? Was I to Naive? Too Proud? or was I too Ashamed to admit my faults, my blameless/groundless guilt, my descent into something even I wasn't sure I could pull myself out of? But I
so I'm up late at night, listening to Paramore (albumns 1 and 2), reason being is because I'm too (depressed)/(desperate to change) to listen to the same shit I've been listening to for the past week.... and it makes me feel comfortable about myself, though the lyrics to the songs aren't too relevant... but they help me focus on something else... something that doesn't make my mind restless... something that is so improbable and pathetic that even I am ashamed and want to slap myself... but the melancholy of her voice (hayley williams), (but i'm really referring to) their feel suits me almost perfectly, because i'm really not that sad... but
