Ignore Me

I write poetry
I speak a real story
Of honor & glory
If it hurts you
Do it only for you
Please don't read
If you only bleed
I'm not trying to hurt you
I'm just releasing
Very mind & heart pleasing
I do it for me
To aid my soul when it's cold
I want you to know
Cuz you think I want you low
I would take a bullet for you
Jump to death to protect you
Why? cuz when I say "I love you"
I truly mean every single letter
I want you for the better
So if it's best you don't read
My poetry I suggest
You leave it dead &
Take it out your head
Think ahead & Ignore me...
For your own good...

I forgive you.
because there is no other way
I forgive you.
how could you know better
I forgive you.
because
i've cried
and i've fought
i've hurt.
i've been hurt
i've talked and i've told
bared my soul.
and still
I forgive you.
because you don't know better
you couldn't fathom the results
of your actions
I'm so sore.
and drained
i gave it all i had
i moved forward
fell back
fighting
and i'm weak.
so I forgive you.
because I need my energy
I need my sleep
I need my tears
but I don't need fear
so I forgive you.
because one day you'll know better
you'll cry and hurt
you'll fight
you'll be weak
and
left on your knees
i was once you

I.
He carries a camera bag
now.
Photos in
black and white
not how the Yearbook wants them
but how he does.
He needs his own approval
now.

II.
He carries a vest
around his body,
something to make people stop and
guess
his gender
his name.
Ambiguous, a little
angry.

III.
He carries himself
as if he is going into war.
But he's proud
to go.

IV.
He carries himself
as the hero
he believes he
could still be.

I know a girl, whom I believe to be angelic.
She flew in one night from perhaps a heaven.
She set me free.
From a dungeon full of traps I could not flee.
Benevolent, wise and beautiful as could be.
This angel, pure as soy, I fell in love with.
But I a mere boy.
Tempted of sins, a number of seven.
My angel, my love from heaven above.
Bestowed upon me a gift of true, true love, with pain, anguish and all the above.
Her decision to leave me.
I'm sure even her angelic heart, which could only sing of joy.
Would sting with her decision to leave this dear boy.
Alas, her supple yet steady hands, leaving mine;
Set me free and made them a man's.

Bats, spiders, and rats form on my tongue
they crawl down my throat and live in my lungs

Cobwebs, moths, and dirt course through my veins
they nestle in my brain and make me insane

The flowers I've spent months watering start to wither away
Why did you lie when you said it would all be okay?

These weeds inside me were born from idiosyncrasies
And they make it way too hard to ******* breathe

My skull is cracked, bones are shattered, it leaves me scarred
This garden looks more like a graveyard
A poem about substance abuse.

Smother my creation
My furious space
Lock the door
Force this tangible restlessness
And mortal wound
Upon me
Rise against my every word
Dressing my cares with every delicacy
Beat my heart
Without a pause or glance
Because for no
I will resist
But know
That this could be construed as love

I don't know how much more I can take
You complaining of your body's pain and its aches
You are in agony every day, you say
But you still do nothing, no nothing will change

I can't be your mother
I'm only your lover
The one who is there
When you don't have another

But you're killing me
With the pain you won't resolve
You said you've tried
But I still say go on

Go search for a doctor
Go on till you find
The medicine that will help you
It is worth the time

I can't be your pills
I can't help your pain
I can't make you change
You'll still stay the same

You'll only change
If you want to be
Another version of yourself
Then you'll be free

I can't take this much longer
Screaming when it is no use
Its not my body
It's yours, so you choose

But know I can't cope
With seeing you stagnant
So change or don't
But don't complain about it
So frustrated.

there's a sizzle and a screech
a loud boom
you can see the streams of light
reflected in her eyes
sometimes the fireworks and the stars
look the same to her
she likes to think that maybe sometimes they are
but some die out after a few seconds
and the others last millions, billions, trillions of years
she stretches to see all of the stars
but it hurts and she can't stretch that far
she longs to see one up close
put one in her pocket for safekeeping
but she'll settle for the stars in her own eyes
they twinkle far brighter and longer
than any silly supernova
a little words from watching fireworks.

I miss your satisfaction and amusement
I miss how you always made me feel right
I miss the rush and euphoria
I miss the sleepless nights

I miss the *** and the rock n' roll
I miss the illusion of love
I miss the smoke I used to blow
I'm missing you, my drug

I loved the endless ideas that would come streaming in
And never being home
I miss the secret hiding place
I miss the smell of rust with a paint thinner undertone

I miss the girl who started it all
I wonder how and where she is
We had only met a few weeks ago
But she showed me how that other half lives

I'm sorry I couldn't go through with it
My mother got me out
I know everyday I'm better off without you
A conclusion, that sometimes, I strongly doubt
