Indeed!

Gorgeous!

We slaughter
a bit of ourselves
every time we give
evil people attention.
God's arms
are covered in leprosy
because we
feast on flags
and knives covered
in latissimus dorsi.
There is so much kindness
buried beneath the politics.
It's time
to start digging.

#poetry

Crimson fissures
line my eyes.
I can't help but #laugh
as the night is swallowed
by the bells.
All this frustration
at the drifting
between peace
and awareness
might destroy me
but I swear I'll take
the future with me.

Awake in the midnight
of racing thoughts,
my body drifts in and out
of a restful respite.
These neurons of mine
are adorned in #spider bites.
I burn and scratch
until I bleed grey.
The need for a new diagnosis,
for a god in the mirror,
grips my brittle spine
and leaves a faint
"what if?"

Awesome!

Excellent

Here's what I've been listening to this week!

My thoughts wander
into oil spills.
I hope I can free them
this time.
It's so exhausting
cleaning up
after these existential #pranks
but I'll come out
a rose someday
instead of yellow grass.

Poignant and well writ!

I only seem to hey engagement if I use a trending hashtag, unfortunately

Thank you lots!

Thank you

Trying to keep the
PMA as my soul eats
itself with toy teeth.

Thank you!

Thank you!

It was just a box
in which I kept
CDs and video games,
my third arm
that went with me
everywhere.
I got so joyfully lost
that I broke #rules
by just existing
between lyrics
and pixels.
My iconoclastic daydream
was a childhood mirror
reflecting disgust
but absorbing
a laugh.

Beautiful!

Anxious anchors tied
around the neck, tossed into
an ocean of ash.

Thank you!

I #spiral into
a grave and I swear I see
pale #angels, waiting.

Gorgeous!

Great poem!

Great description of depression

Thanks!

No punctuation,
no #charm;
I stumble and shiver
in conversation
like twisting rain.
A million words boil
into a stutter.
I hope
I'm still a stoic
instead of a
finger, pointing.

Lovely

Indeed. Thank you!

Depression's #scowl is
bloodied with verbs and anvils.
My smile is a brick.
