No Rhythm #4

By

I’m trying

To write

A poem with

No rhythm

And so far it’s hard because each time I read it I find a new way to read it

And I find myself

Singing in my head something new something

I can fix but I’m

Trying not to fix it

It’s hard it isn’t me

To NOT find a melody

Oh wait no rhyming!

But anyways-

Oh perfect timing the

Poem has ended the

End

My Chains #3

By

I have chains

And every day

A new link is added

They are so heavy

And no one else can carry them

But

I’m over them

I didn’t destroy them

I can’t ignore them

But now

I’m stronger

And I fight a new battle every day

I smile and laugh

And try to be happy

But

The chains are still there

They weigh me down

They are called

Depression.

 

Just Alive #2

By

As I realize I have so much

Yet so little

Nothing

The noise stops

My heart is the only one

Who knows what I feel

But it starts to give up,too

And suddenly

It lets go

Fear pulses into my legs

Climbs up my torso

Shoots up my arms

And splashes on my mind

Trapping it in never-ending doubt

And misery

Why I go on

Do I still care?

Dead.

But still,

I breathe.

Spring Break Is…

By

Spring break is fun

Spring break is nice

Spring break is hard to explain

Spring break is what we all need

Spring break is getting away from Life’s lemons

Spring break is only to come back to the problems

Spring break is super cold even though it’s spring for crying out loud, Mother  Nature!
