Loops Again All this chatter Ever fatter Does it even Really matter When being scored On each new floor Just to push Through further doors At each new score And every door A metal gate To the killing floor. Red lights chatter Ever madder Once more we know It's time to scatter #poetry #agency

I’ve admitted I need you more than a million times, it should be safe to need love, affection- yet you spurn me over and over, twisting my needs against me until I’m pretzeled and start to believe I’m broken; I’m the empty hole and you’re the shovel. #emoetry #poetry

Grant us eyes Grant us lies Grant a solemn sent surprise Grant us might A will to fight An ever-going right Grant us light And grant us night For our slowly fading sight #vssdaily #grant #poetry

The Tale Unwritten Why should I be A story told As everyone Wants of me? A quiet tale Of work and struggle And selling Three for three I'd rather sit, Let it all unfold Than chase forever, A quarry sold. That I can Barely see. #poetry

Trying to work my way through all the #Emoetry prompts I've missed today.. Not particularly happy with this almost #TerzaRima but it's... well... It exists... Hopefully I'll warm my words up a bit soon...

In You, I Now Hear Another hidden word In the dialect of souls Another blessed symbol I refuse to comprehend. Another missing turn In the dialogue on whole Another competition Of disparate sought ends Another dissolution Of what I thought was love Of You, I Still Hear #poetry

Meltdown imminent #Poetry #MentalIllness #MentallyIllMess

This is so unfair! I can’t imagine nobody but you voicing Beast Boy. You’re too irreplaceable and part of Teen Titans. #SaveBeastBoy

The dancing shadows Hide creeping fingers That drag themselves Through my skull. Weaving tapestries Into my soul Floating cobwebs across my skin Showing me New views unseen And whispering old truths unheard I tell myself That it's not real But what should I believe, When nothing is? #poetry

This felt really fitting today to requote, not because of the prompt but because of the recent sad news that coincided with it. We need to remember our fallen. Every single one of them. Even if they try to erase our history. Especially then. #lgbtqia #pride #pulse #community #remember #vigil

I send a pulse Out to the world And my pulse starts racing In fear that nothing Will come back In fear that something Will come back #poetry #pulse

Rustling kite Hovering on Solitary blue Rectangle ♡ Hissing sounds compliment To the lapping Of arriving waves ♡ Chattering family Blissfully unaware Circle of kinship Touched by sand And salty air #poetry #poetrycommunity 1/2 🧵 @boomshockalocka.bsky.social helped a lot to mould it into shape 💜

A #malformed spirit In a strange new world Seems destined to fall But with encouragement And much support It fills the gaps in its own soul. #vss365 #poetry

I wish I could always be eager, But see that I need my rest. I must polish my words Clean off my mask And know that I can do my best

The madness comes The madness goes Words are lost So words can flow I punch the walls Bemoan my fate I sprint these halls And feel this weight My hands are bloodless Clenched in pain Fearing emotion Spent in vain #poetry

Now that I think about it, You’re right, I’m amazing! I’m prolific! I’m a better poet and for damn sure a better person! Watching you the last three days was a constant illness knowing you were likely victimizing others while you silenced me #poetry #dontfuckwithapoet

We're laying on the floor covered in our metaphors Munching on charcuterie bonding over comraderie Listening to our girly pop and writing hexing poems Sisterhood of smart cookies but just playing like rookies #poetry #SOLSEED 🌼 #sisterhood #dontfuckwithapoet

Trusting the wrong person doesn’t mean a mistake, they were untrustworthy; Giving to a taker doesn’t make you a chump they were unappreciative; caring about a monster doesn’t make you one too, predators deceive well #poetry #dontfuckwithapoet

Babe I think you picked the wrong day to fuck with the wrong girl The receipts are poppin off but congrats tho you're in the spreadsheet #poetry #dontfuckwithapoet

I keep dreaming of the void You know, The thing outside ourselves that never responds to calls The silence found At the edge of my mind As I follow my thoughts Into nothing. #poetry

I hold the stars If only in fear That even the everlasting Will leave me. As I lie here Floating past the sky I hope you'll see me Passing slowly by. Written in reply to @sunblissful.bsky.social 's Floatiness poem but I can't reply to the post for some reason

I'm going silent Once more Falling Into myself. A stone Entombed. An empty well. It is surely A problem, Right? Or is it? When It's so clearly me. #Poetry

acute trauma is trying to make sense, when reality tries everything to break you yet you won't you survive minus some memories ~ a cute trauma doesn't exist I'd choose it over the alternative ~ creating memories of happiness in spite of broken days #healing #poetry #trauma #poetrycommunity

Bit late, but it's here. Might play with this image again later. Still has more it wants to say. Special thanks to @boomshockalocka.bsky.social for helping me edit this one. You're awesome. 🤗 @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoemsAbout #waxtears #poem #poetry #childhood #poemaday ##skypoem #horrorpoetry?

Forgotten Memories The world is dimming And knowledge is fading Time is spent waiting Recollection debating. As the view turns gray And echoes decay I hope I am still Worthy to stay. #poetry

Words to Hate Scream it out And feel the pain Water the drought Once and again As pages furl Time burns away As numbness dies It's here to stay. "Just medicate" And go astray? Ignore the way? In days of gray? Losses unfelt Denying rage And live within My self-made cage. #poetry #migraine #medicine

If we are not Right now, We will make ourselves Later The vibes and ghosts We know today Define our world In a major way Our world is made In every moment. #poetry

That Which Remains Unnamed The deepest ache An exclusion zone I cannot perceive it And feel at home A gaping madness Within my soul I've done my damnedest To remain whole (Joined a poetry discord and sort of forgot I even had an account here) #poetry

A youngling's gift A young one learns Today is Mother's Day And so today, A youngling won't sleep His gift to his mother Two more hours of mothering. #poetry #mothers_day

A thread of friendship A single mind A thread that held Through the sands of time.

Misprint A misprint lands upon a page And it signs this copied book a grave As cast aside and left to waste A quiet little misprint, I Have cast my gaze upon the sky I find it lacking, though know not why (1/2) #poetry

As kings and queens are put to cards A government to me Who then is it Beneath these stars Who are our royalty? #poetry

As I wake, a brand new slate Unready for the day As I wait, yester's state reminds me of my way. #poetry

As I wake, a brand new slate Unready for the day As I wait, yester's state reminds me of my way. #poetry

A humble melody drifts through the room Echoes of places I've been, showing I'm not alone Though the walls stand silent, and the shadows loom. And I know quite well, this is what I've sown. #poetry

Bridges: Bridges built with care Bridges built in prayer Bridges built to dare Bridges built unfair Bridges built aware Bridges built on air Bridges in repair Bridges left quite bare #poetry

I feel I should do more Than the days and the nights implore As though there's more in store #poetry #haiku 6-8-6

Live as you wish Or live as you must It is still wholy This beautiful reality It is still holy This beautiful reality #Poetry

I've beat my head like a drum fallen straight, flat, face first Walked my skull into wood and steel during my old growth-spurts and yet none of it compares to the skull-shattering pain Of a migraine #poetry #migraine #workthroughthepain #pain-sweats

As the mountain presses on my mind Resisting all attempts to be carried I must exist in the corners untouched As the center of my thoughts becomes Unreachable #poetry #migraine

I discover that the world exists And remember that there's more to this Than what I am and what it is There's something else, a kind of twist I found knowledge here, a creeping gist A silent shape that grips the wrist. #poetry

@bettiebune.bsky.social I saw your poem, but couldn't reply for some reason. I like doing reply poems. To your "Breakfast of razor blades" : Why fight a fight That no one's fought give it all When it's all for naught? Brush it off, like it's just a gnat? Why not live life giving tit for tat?

I want to live I want to die I want to breathe I want to cry I want to know I want to grow I want to do nothing at all I want to see Please let me be Why is this all my own fault? I want to live I want to die I want to seethe I want to lie. But most of all, I want to know why. #poetry

Give us eyes To perceive Give us thought To deceive Give us time as a payment Give us weight. We are existent. #poetry

A year comes to an end And a year starts again May what ended then Last for a lifetime.

Music in my mind Movements in my memory Bass pulls my body Back into the beat #poetry
