The Dunce Hat
We hear our name In every conversation we pass by We feel the pounding pressure Of the glare of every eye Thoughtless words Nestle in our hair Form a hat of humiliation That we feel forced to wear But it is only in our mind That this marker exists It is made from a substance Continue reading

Temporary
A relentless treadmill Which cannot be stopped Being punched by a boxer Who you cannot block A screaming creature At every sunrise Weights strapped to your legs When you’re paralysed An emergency alarm blaring But the help won’t come An approaching darkness Heralded by deep bass drums A bottomless pit Threatening to swallow you whole Continue reading

Spinning
Thoughts revolving In my head I am dizzy from their spin Darkness swirling Creates a whirlpool That tries to sucks me in Bitter remarks Beat me down Break my self-esteem Constant critiques And overthinking Create an awful din I pause I stop And lift my head up See the world That spins around me And Continue reading

White Sheets

Abyss

Perfectionism 2
A faint whisper Into my ear An unsettling feeling A shiver of fear You always tell me That disaster is on its way That I have to do more To keep the destruction at bay You are an immortal phantom Chasing me down dark alleyways You chant constant threats I always feel your blade My Continue reading

Sheep Pen
Fear is a sheep pen A restricting enclosure Hemming you in Stopping you moving forward Instead of endless pastures It’ll make you eat old grass It says there’s safety in numbers When you’re called to walk new paths It promises you won’t be hurt If you stay within its walls But you’ll wilt in its Continue reading

Write a Poem
Write a poem Hide it in your heart Read it to yourself As the skies grow dark Engrave the wretched words Onto a small, smooth stone Put it in your pocket Take it everywhere you go Hide the words away Lock them in a journal Gather up the embers Feed that inner inferno Let the Continue reading

Graveyard
Must there always be pain In the centre of my heart?
