Thread: write a poem that expresses your thoughts and feelings

So here's me trying to sound poetic

Delusional happiness is only delusional if you filter and ignore everything else.
Delusional sadness is only delusional if you filter and ignore everything else.

Be open.
Be aware of all.

You may find comfort and meaning in the idea that you actually help shape this world.

Many seem to give in to the present state of things.
Many seem to seek guidance, to seek meaning.

Yet they have the power to provide guidance for themselves.
Yet they have the power to create meaning for themselves.

Few believe they can choose to innovate.
Few believe they have the power to influence.

Your life is yours. And the way choose to live it will affect the world.

I still miss you
although it seems many days past
you're in my mind every day or two
it's not that i want you back.

i just want things to be the same
but its too unclear to see
things just seemed to re arrange
what were you to me?

empty feelings fill that gap
in the place you used to be
i have nothing left to say
but i still hope
i long for another day.

you're killing me
i'm dying
it's happening unintentionally
sitting here, just crying.

i know it's not good
but it's just how it is
if i could change it, i know i would
the happiness and love, it's only just a wish.

We hide our eyes from you
We hide our selves from your gaze
Yet you shine everyday
Protected by the guardian clouds
Which allow you shade
From this unforgivable view

you used to make me feel ok
you didn't lead me astray
just the comfort in your voice made things alright
but i guess love is blind, just like they say.

I'm flying to you
Smiling on my dragon
It'll be just us two
Riding in this wagon
Going to the place
Where I can see your face
Or maybe not
Maybe I will just rot
All alone
Just me myself and everything
I have no place here
Until I looked in the mirror
And saw you in the reflection...

I wrote this the other night while under the influence of plant matter and just noticed that I'd saved it:

too raw
he cracks one

that poem is freakin genius tara

I don't think I've ever felt as urged to like as many things at once, as I just did in just wandering through here by chance.

So thank you for that.

Brainwashed minds and big egos
do you no good
quit watching the tele
and go read a fucking book

i'm stuck in this house

there are heaps of dirty laundry
stacks of papers
a too bright light
little creaky bed and
cracked creepy closet

a pretty puppy
lying at my feet
endless framed family
a squeaky old fan and
quaint country quilts

there is an old man
with his old wife
their aging daughter
a chihuahua, cockapoo
and a teenager, locked in the attic

Here we are again
Just me and the universe as usual
She's not much for conversation
It can feel a bit like isolation
However there are times
Where I don't mind at all
She can fill me with unspeakable awe
Her beauty and mystery enraptures my being
Proving that her sparse moments of glory
Are worth the lonely patience of seeing

These parking lot demons are playing their phantom horns
While the sound of nothing comes creeping closer, my god it's getting warm
No person on earth should ever feel like this
Inside my mind plays constant pain, but how can I resist

Though it shouldn't affect me,
I fail to comprehend.
How can this happen?

I suffer from lack of sleep
being misunderstood and mistreated.
I bite my tounge as you run along
doing anything and everything that
you want to do
It's pointless to tell you how I feel
because you don't want to hear.
Anything I say is "wrong"
I'm stuck in a loop
calling for help
can anyone
save me
from the heartache
of being
a housewife?

Understand me
and you will cry
Only you understand me
And only you can see my pain
The emptiness
The loneliness
My fear
Fear that feels like intense pain
fear of loneliness
All I've ever wanted was loneliness
But it scares me more than anything
I am afraid
I fear the outcome
Whatever my life may bring me
Aimless
The incredible joy of aimlessness
Taking me nowhere
Aimlessness is my only friend
I trust in you
I don't know for sure if I can trust anyone else
But I will fight to the death
along side my wolves
Even if I'm not sure if I trust them
They are my wolves

I stare into the moon
I can feel the room
it yells with discomfort
it screams with pain
It holds me in
It suffocates me
Yet I am happy
because you are there for me

Damn the distances between us
And the differences as well
Damn the rise of foolish pride
And damn the lies we tell

There was once a ugly barnacle.
He was so ugly, everybody died.

Scrabbling and swishing
the puzzle pieces 'round
I can not see
I can not tell
What it is I've found


Writhing and twisting,
this puzzle's so distorted
I can not see
I can not tell
What it is I've sorted

I"m fucking everywhere bitch
can't hide from me
Hide and I'll find you
Then I'll fucking blind you
You can't see now
Where'd I go?
can't see me now
I'm in the dark
creepin
Breathing fast
panic bitch
Scramble for the phone
hear me laugh from the dark
I'm coming.....
Oh yes
scream like a the stupid bitch you are
I'm behind you
my hands are covered in your blood
Now your dead body is dead
And my hands are all red
I'm crying tears
I wants your tears
me and you known each other for years
I knew it would come to this
You can't run fromthis
It already done
I just wanted to kil for fun
But now I'm feeling guilty
But I don't care
I can live with that
But you I can live without
You had to get out
Of my fucking world of pain
obsession was the game
that I played for years
Now I can taste your tears
and I'm crying
So smile

let me be
in the sand
can't you see
the ocean
it consumes us all
we are devoured by a kiss
from the sea

these illusions that fill me
swirl, fade, appear
they hide within me
bursting through unclear

they make my mind race
and question reality
but can they really be
actuality?

tomorrow never comes
today never leaves
yesterday never was
play on words, you see?

change never changes
death never dies
life never lives
love always lies

I took a nice bath today:

Soap suds swirl like Jovian storms
Red knees breach like whales
Succumbing to, my mind transforms
And thoughts pervade my sails.

(note: Jovian is the adjective for Jupiter)
