Stuck

October 10, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

I made plans today

But then something went wrong.

Late at night, lying in bed

I’m unable to sleep

Still stuck in my head.

Entertain that thought

October 2, 2021October 2, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

Don’t look at me like that

As if you’re amusing a child.

You hold my face with those cold fingertips

When I’ve carved out my heart so neatly

And laid it bare, in your palms so naively.

Why did I ever entertain that thought?

Suffering

October 1, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

I made a mistake

In trying to end suffering,

When living in itself is suffering.

So if I’m destined to suffer

Why not find peace

Between moments of suffering?

From me

September 30, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

I sought answers from the source,

Thinking I didn’t want to make mistakes.

Forgetting that I am part of the universe

And the universe is a part of me.

So wanting something, not wanting something –

These feelings are valid

For they came from me.

How could I have failed to see?

For you

September 26, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

I want to be home

Home in your arms.

Their faces are kind,

But their hearts are too cruel

I can’t trust anyone but you.

So I’m only staying here, waiting for you.

If

September 24, 2021September 24, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

If it’s not self punishment

Then why am I doing the same thing

Over and over and over again?

Standing in the same corner

Watching the same rain

Heart in pain.

Place in this world

September 23, 2021 buildpoetry2 Comments

You taught me that softness is weakness,

That kindness is sensitive

And sensitive has no place in this world.

But if I can’t feel, then I’m not me

If I can’t be me, then what can I be

So do I have no place in this world?

Sin

September 21, 2021September 21, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

I sometimes feel like something sinister

Clothed with human skin.

But the dirtiness that I feel,

I know comes from deep within.

Seeking comfort

Between the sheets of sin.

Into the light

September 20, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

Some days I’m a little worse for wear.

I imagine it’s like a stone that’s always been in darkness,

Suddenly breaking from the cracks inside.

So the light pierces into corners that has never seen daylight

And all the bugs, insects and worms hidden in these corners

Finally come out.

Out of darkness,

And into the light.

Like so

September 17, 2021 buildpoetryLeave a comment

Twisted, convoluted and broken

We come to each other in pieces

Wanting to make a whole.

But all we ever do

Is sink into a dark hole

And wonder why we can’t fix each other, like so.
