The lady

She of life

She of wonder

She who holds our hands

As our children come screaming into the world

She who guides our children

To the creatures in the yard

To the best spots to view the stars

She is

Our

Lady

And she watches

And she loves

I say I'm getting better

Like that's something I can do

Like my sickness won't follow me to my grave

Like my illness won't even be the cause

I say I'm doing well

Like I dont have blood soaked bandages

Hiding in the bin

Like my scars are fading

Like there's no new ones coming in

I say I'm having revelations

That I'm taking control of my life

But knowing what's wrong and fixing it

Are two different things

And I can't even be bothered to try

I am tired

I drink coffee

I am still tired

I drink more coffee

I am still tired

But now

My hands are shaking

I drink more coffee

I can see sound

I am still tired

Death

Is not angry

She doesn't care

about our petty searches for immortality

Death

Knows that she is

Inevitable

Peace is

Light rainfall and

Swaying trees and

The crunch of grass in the early morning cold

It's the purring of a cat

and the sound of a turning page

and the smell of book aged like fine wine

It comes in swift moments and long memories and forgetting the world outside

and its peaceful

if I die

my eulogy will be about a

bright

young

man.

they will talk about the good I spread

and my kindness and my caring soul

maybe they will mention

that I struggled

that I fell

but only as a footnote

to the story that they tell.

they won't talk about the pain I sowed

or how I failed

or how I couldn't give a shit

about the world outside of me

when I die

(sooner every moment)

they will tell a story

of my life

And it will be a lie

As we March towards the end

Those among us play pretend

The our destination is full of ritches

Rather than a mass extinction

What is it like

I wonder

To

Just

Live

To fall asleep

Wanting to wake up

To believe when they say

I Love You

What is it like

To

Be

Alive.

dying is a peaceful thing

the hard part

is when

you

survive

#original poem #original poetry #bad poetry #poem #my poetry #my poem #my writing #inktober but poetry #day 19

sometimes

the only reason I can fall asleep

is the belief that

someone

somewhere

will love me

call me childish

but i choose not to know

that I might die

alone

#original poem #original poetry #poem #bad poetry #poetry #inktober but poetry #day 18

There are 2 states of being

Alive or dead

But what about before

We are born

Not yet alive

But not dead either

#original poem #original poetry #bad poetry #poem #poetry #my poem #my poetry #my writing #inktober but poetry #day 17

My eyes are falling shut

my mind is shutting down

i don't know if I'll wake in the morn

But for a moment of peace

Ill risk the dawn

I had a dream

That I lived amongst the stars

I had a house in a nebula

And a garden of planets

#original poem #original poetry #poem #bad poetry #poetry #my writing #my poem #my poetry #inktober but poetry #day 15

the old man in the moon

sings me lullabies at night

he keeps an eye out

he keeps me safe

as he watches from the stars

in the middle of the day

when he should be hiding out

when I struggle to get through

I look up toward the sky

and I see him watching over me

I know I will be fine

I scream into the void

A painful wordless sound

There is silence for a moment

Then the void screams back

The worst time of day

Is when its so late it's early

You see the sun start to rise

And you haven't gone to sleep

Not the nights where you party

And come home at dawn

But the mornings when you drown in coffee

And you eyes continue to burn

It's watching the sun rise

From the wrong side of the day

But you're not doing it with company

You're alone in your bed

The worst time of day

Is when the rising sun is a sign to go to sleep

Instead of your alarm

streaks of light go flashing by

her face against the window

reflections of the world outside

shine bright against her skin

she is peaceful in this state

and the ones we've passed through already

soon i too will be at peace

and she will take the wheel

we scream along to songs we know

from our childhoods and before

some words are lost but our joy is not

and we revel in our contentment

we are not yet half way through our journey

and we don't yet know the end

but getting there is half the fun

and that make it an adventure
