Get. Up.
Move yourself
Stand on both of your two feet
Don’t you have any pride?
We thought you were better than this (were we wrong?)Stay. Up.
You’re pathetic.
Taken down so easily by,
Mere words and criticisms
From yourself
Can’t you do anything right?
We’re embarrassed to be associated with
YouGET. UP.
You are pitiful
W o r t h l e s s
P o i n t l e s s
U n g r a t e f u l
For all the encouragement we give
All the time we
Waste
On you
If you’re just going to lay there
Then lay there
Until you die
FrozenThe last of the autumn leaves fall off the snow covered branches of silver birch trees, as the harsh, unforgiving wind races against my frozen cheeks.My hands like blocks of ice, cracking underneath my armpits as I desperately attempt to keep warm. I can’t feel my toes as I march through the snow and battle against the blistering wind.As my lips begin to crack and bleed, I see a warm light amongst the towering trees. A charming little cottage in the middle of nowhere, it’s light draws me in closer and to my delight I see smoke coming out the chimney.Can I make it? My lungs are gasping for air, feeling breathless, my vision begins t...

Midnight Poetry: Unholy Love Triangle by Cloaina, literature

Midnight Poetry: Unholy Love Triangle
To one with eyes as soft as those,
To the angles, that sing their prose.
The feathered hands that caress my face,
And hold me, in a loving embrace.
The fingers that wiped my tears away,
And the sweet lips that bore promises to always stay.To one with eyes as dark as those,
To the demons, that to mortals, the path of sin shows.
The claws rake my face,
And pull me far from grace.
The blood that floods my tears away,
And the bind that made me promise to always stay.
Open me up
To see all the emptySew me back up
To keep me that wayOr leave me open to the world
So that the blood might flood and water these grounds
And people might learn from my pain
And fill themselves with something worth holding ontoOpen me up
To see all the hurt
To see all the pain
To see all that should be there--
But isn't.Sew me up to keep me that way
A pretty little doll
Hollow .Open me up to see whats inside
But don't be surprised
when there is nothing for you to see
Let there be darkness by Lost-in-eyes-of-blue, literature
Literature
Let there be darkness
And let there be light
Or so they claim.
But who was the one to say let there be darkness?
Let there be depression and fear?
Who was the one who allowed us to feel this misery?
To feel so forsaken?So I say it now for it cant go unsaid:
Let there be darkness.
But...
In this darkness...
Let there be hope in darkness so that we might live
And want to.
Instead of shying from life, wishing for dead.Let there be darkness
I wish I were like a dandelion fluff
Able to just disappear with the wind.
One gust, one blow, and there I go,
Gone with the wind.Gone with the wind I’d be
Off on my own big adventure.
Never causing pain, or sadness
Never knowing where or when I’ll land.That’s what I long for,
To be able to get up and go.
Not a second thought, not a single word.
No hurt feelings, no ties
Just, gone with the wind.
the moonlight illuminates
but the shadows assimilate
cast into demise
my heart and my mindthis anxiety in my chest
this agony that won't regress
this misery and distress
please release me from this tormentdrowning in my hesitation
only feel my desperation
abandoned when in desolation
I have lost all aspirationsalvage my consciousness
it's slipping through my grip
continuing to disintegrate
please don't let me dissipate
