Dark Cloud
A lament I feel it looming Even as I write A dark, nebulous cloud With eyes so bright It’s an anchor around the neck A rope around my foot It clings to me like mould Pierces my flesh like a hook Every waking second It is always there Even in my dreams Sometimes it appears… Continue reading

Gems
Inside of me I hold precious gems My most treasured thoughts As fragile as flower stems I hide them in a chest And I wait to see If someone I meet Will value me Will they truly care? Will they value my voice? Will they cry at my sorrows And in my triumphs, rejoice? Or… Continue reading

Dread
I am lifting a mountain Holding back the tide My back pressed against the door From a killer trying to take my life I am holding off his blade Inches from my heart On the brink of a waterfall With my ship breaking apart I see beneath the ground I stand To a bottomless pit… Continue reading

Green Shoots
Green shoots So fragile Freedom’s growth So gradual Waves of pain Rush over my soul Tear up the shoots Stir up the soil But the roots will remain They are dug in deep They begin to regrow Inch by inch they creep Pain will come again But they always survive These roots are stubborn They… Continue reading

The Past’s Claws
The past has claws And an iron-tight grip It is a venus flytrap A bottomless pit I have felt its touch A cold shiver in the night It lurks in my mind Hidden just out of sight It shadows my day A sentient cloud Spawning in the sky Whenever I feel proud It has laid… Continue reading

What It Feels Like
A lament Ennui A creeping mould Spreading over my brain Until it takes hold It paralyses my limbs Weakens my will Punctures my passion And yet it advances still It drains my drive Consuming my joy Tears down my confidence My self-esteem it destroys Colour drains from the world around me Food melts into bland… Continue reading

What I Feel

I May Exaggerate
I may exaggerateMiscalculate and over-estimate I may badly mistranslate The script of my heart I may fail to moderate Or consistently over-rate Completely misappropriate The feelings in my mind My words may be inadequate Handwriting inelegant And my spelling attempts negligent As I attempt to hit the resonance Of the cry of my soul But… Continue reading
