poetry

🥀expressions of my soul🥀 when I'm high and when I'm low🥀 upside down or in a hole🥀 sometimes dark🥀 sometimes light 🥀 but always filled with fight🥀

[punky-hippie]

The wolf

He digs a hole in my chest.

He eats my soul.

He buries the rest for later.

My youth was his favorite flavor.

This bloody feast,

Has left me without speech.

I have no need to cry,

For I am not I.

He says goodbye,

And with one last sigh,

He leaves me to die.

Facing thoughts

As I lay awake in my bed

I think about what's been going though my head

All week I fought

To gather a clear thought

But the clutter

Made the words sound like mutters

Thoughts of now

Thoughts of then

And thoughts of what's to come

Some are beautiful

But others are cold

I know to face them I have to be bold

-L O'Malley

My old "friend"

At the end of a long day

I call it quits

I sit

and relase a breath of deep air

I let go of my daily cares

Then a feeling that I cant bare

Leaves my eyes locked in a lost stare

Though my chest feels like a deepning void

My lungs are tight

As I gasp for air

I realize you are there

I never expected your return

That now causes my heart to burn

You've come to devour

Every passing hour

Leaving life tasting sour

You tell me you wont let me be

Until i make myself bleed

You feed off the night

And kill all chances of happiness in sight

Everytime I try to fight

I feel the painful bite

Of a lonliness so deep

That I could never recover

Until it stops its menacing hover

-L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

The eyes of nobody

When my body is weak

And my mind is awake

All it takes is one mistake

For it to overtake

I find myself in despair

As I stare into dark dull air

Ive learned by now that lifes not fair

And even if I say I dont care

I face the empty stare

Of the nobody

That isnt there

-L O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

Happiness within

My smiles so wide

I feel my cheeks touch my glasses

With every minute that passes

My heart beats faster

Right out of my chest

I never ask why

I just watch it go by

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

Televised Distractions

I hit pause

It comes like a flood

It crawls into my mouth

Slivers down

Wraps it's cold blooded body around

Still it suffocats my soul

It feeds off of the energy inside

Until I can't move

Moving smooth like a snake

Making my chest ache

As I wait for it to be done

The moment that it has won

Will someday come

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

For Art!

I would live off ramen and tap water

To get the supplies

To create something for the eyes

That came from inside

I would hide

In a corner of light

And put all my fight

In a beautiful sight

That I created with these hands

I wouldn't stand

Until it was done

Until my soul won

I would do anything for art

Even if it left me torn apart

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

You are the key

You see?

There's nothing I understand.

Life's in our hands,

But we can't make plans.

Tomorrow is unknown.

If that chills you to the bone,

Make yourself your home,

And you'll never be alone.

Fill the hole on your own.

Find the beauty,

And just stare.

Grab it's hand.

Drop your plan,

And take a stand

To make life less bland.

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

The flow of me

No control over self.

Feeling things I've never felt.

Somedays I need help.

Other days I got myself.

Deep down in the ground.

The next day I'm a cloud.

Every sound melts my soul,

And I feel so whole.

Then I'm cold.

Not feeling as bold.

Full of emotions,

Mixed with potions,

That have taken over.

I just gotta go

With this unpredictable flow

That gives me no control.

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

Not mine

What is this life?

I find in my mind

That it is not mine

And with the passing of time

Reality starts to unwind

The only thing I know for sure

Is to be kind

All we need is one another

To be together

And find time

To feel sublime

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

The same is lame

You see?

It's not about being pretty

It's about being me

In a sea

Of people

Why do we choose to be the same

To seek a fake sense of fame

It's so lame

To turn life into a game

But who's to blame?

It doesn't matter

It just need to change.

[punky-hippie]

Complicated mind

My mind is like a drug

With side effects and all

One day I stand tall

The next day I fall

stuck on the ground

Twisting my life all around

Normal is never found

How am I supposed to breath

When I can't make a sound

They've got me feeling like a clown

They're trying to hold me down

Because this is not accepted

Feeling like im meant to be dead

That's what keeps me in bed

saying it's all in your head

Just stop

But I swear that this is just me

I'm made of love and peace

All I need is for you to let me be

I gotta grow

So I can show

But I can't with out a seed to sow

Stop holding me below

Expectations

I just can't take it

Breaking

Under all the pressure

I let go

Take a deep breath

And float like a feather

I finally figured it out

All that bullshits just sound

But now that I'm up in the clouds

Nobody can hold me down

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

Spun around

I was feeling down

When I woke up

Everything had turned around

And every single sound

Turned my frown upside down

So I spit poetry, poetry

These feelings got a hold of me

I've got no control of me

[punky-hippie]

Slow sadness

Do you ever feel so down

And all of the sound

makes you feel 6 feet underground

Bound to the sadness

Every step is a mile through malasis

Looking through blacked out glasses

Just hoping it passes

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

This world kills

For heavens sake!

I can't take

Hearing your voice,

But I don't have a choice.

So I let you beat me down,

Till I'm lying on the ground.

Drowned in the sound,

Of your words.

That stab.

Like needle,

Filled with low self esteem.

I've lost my gleam.

Because all I do is wrong;

I feel like I don't belong.

A basket of broken eggs,

Going through another bad phase.

I guess it's just one of those days,

Every week and year.

It's all I hear,

In my head.

So I don't get out of bed,

And I fill with dread

For everything ahead.

I yell

"Get out of my head."

After all they've said,

I find I am already dead.

- L. O'Malley

[punky-hippie]

I said free.

Don't you see?

I say free,

In my poetry,

Because thats all i want to be.

Free from these shackles.

That hold me down,

Labeled society and expectations.

In ever location,

I drown,

In their sound.

To be bound for greatness,

You have to live off fakeness.

But I can't take this.

So I got to break this.

With ever declaration,

I test their patience.

But I don't care,

About their nasty stare.

Because I can't bare to be,

Anything but me.

This is why I say free.

[punky-hippie]

Behind my eyes

I closed my eyes.

Focused on my breath.

Ripped open my chest,

And dove in.

It yelled to me

"Can't you see?"

"You are the universe."

It threw out a crayon.

She caught it in her hand.

And colored me with yellow.

I asked,

What does it mean?

But it seems

To have blown away

With the wind.
