You're Getting A Present Today. Be Grateful.

I don't feel like doing an actual post, because there's too much I can't divulge as of yet and I don't really have the time anyway. So I bring you a treat instead!

Here are some of my first poems, when I started writing decent poetry about 2 years ago.

(I, You, We) Have Reduced Life to Words

Reduced-
All to nothing
Nothing to something
And back again.
                                     

                                      Life-
                                      Goes on to something
                                      Races to nothing

                                      And back again.
                  

                   Words-
                   Meaning nothing
                   Encapsulating everything
                   And sometimes exposing
                   Something.

Nearer to the End

Desperation

Isn't something I wear

Very well.

                        It chafes

                        It itches

                        It inflames.

With this in mind

I need to pull away now

Before things become even more

Out of hand.

                                    You do not deserve me.

                        Your feelings are not strong.

            You do not understand

                        Your own motivations.

So before I become

Tiresome

Irksome

                        I will run

                        I will hide

            But I will

Not

                                    Cry.

Optimism vs. Pessimism

He will come back.

It's nothing;

Just him trying to protect

Himself and you.

I'm dying,

Of course he's not coming back.

There's something wrong

With you and your soul

So stop being so sentimental.

Shriveling,

Don't listen to that.

You know you're amazing,

And he does too.

Or he should.

And no one knows.

Don't listen to that.

How many times have you been hurt?

You know the truth

That he doesn't actually care.

Abandoned,

Stop lying to her.

By everything I had hoped (feared),

Only if you do.

Here in the corner

I'm not lying

You are.

As I'm torn

Darling,

That is a deliberate untruth.

Side to side

You're only making her

Feel even worse.

Until nothing is left.

You're only going to make her

Feel even worse later.
