when i die

will there be a heaven or hell? will my sight fade, my hearing stop will I leave this Earth for good? notice how all of these are questions, and none of them are answers but I suppose I will find out soon everything I have ever known will be gone I will never see a sunset never run in the dark with friends or will i? how does this all work? how could I be nothing? how could everything keep going? all my life I have only seen the world through my own eyes it feels like my own personal place

Who am I?

I'm the girl who stays hushed in her room Where my thoughts are dark and scary The thoughts invade and are like parasites Always saying mean things Who am I? I'm the girl that hopes that everything is ok Scared that the darkness will consume The world that she lives Who am I? I'm the girl that wants to die But does not wish to give The world the satisfaction that it seeks

Barnstorm

It was a chip. A simple french-fry spread in ketchup and mayonnaise, revealing itself on a traffic-island opposite the dry-cleaners. Wings pulled - lowering to ground, it assessed a simple strip of potato. I have never liked gulls. Wing-span the length of seizing arms; looping the circumference of my scalp. It would take what it wanted: a chip; my mind. Poker-face - it circled for death.

8.5, Catastrophe (meaning)

Catastrophe is about how I get angry when I don't mean it. How I say words I don't mean, then regret them later. That's a lie. This poem does not have a meaning. Really nothing has a meaning, if you think about it. Everything withers and dies eventually. The strongest rock, the sharpest blade. The rock will crack and disintegrate. The blade will rust and crumble. The mind will rot and tear itself apart. The only thing that is truly eternal is time. Time is forever.

No Longer There

Blood, red hot like fury, burning through her skin Metal piercing not just her flesh, but her entire being A single tear drips from her eye, cold, as if she were already dead She wants to wrap her hands around her body She wants to feel her warm skin, to tell herself she's still there But the only warmth is that of the blood seeping from her veins Draining out of her and onto the hard floor And she seeps with it She is no longer there

Weakness in death

Time goes on stalking a man like a predator goes after prey When the time has come let me go in peace but until that time let me do as I please People make a target of time yet to come deciding for me if I will be gone The fear that this brings just cannot be said but this has a place in my heart and head

Rash decisions

When your heart is broken Tears taste like soap When you cry for people They taste like the sea And self-inflicted losses Like nose bleeds But when it's all three You're dead.

life

It took me a while to realise Deep in my self-loathing heart That I didn't want to die But I wanted life to start

Sleep Forever

I want to stop waking up early everyday I want to sleep forever I want to forget I don't want to suffer anymore

Snake

Bright ringed and beautiful coral . dry and death rattle in a pig/sty and in the belly of a pig, dead. Yet you are beautiful . ringed turn of the wrist whole arm in the belly of a pig. And snake does walk out, turns winter to spring in a pig/s eye fixed upon nothing. The power that snake has that pig should love him.
