I will create new worlds,
I will defy logic,
god,
and reality.
Every word written will be a different door into my consciousness.
I will define my existence……
Until th~
Tell me a story.
Don’t speak though.
Just look in the eyes,
and tell me.
Who are you?
You can’t just be a figment of my imagination.
My imagination can’t make something this beautiful.
So, tell me who you are with those eyes of yours.
And, I’ll tell you who I am with my lips intertwined with yours.
You left,
I wept.
You returned,
we kissed.
We’ve been caught in this dance for so long.
An eternity of perpetuating the steps.
I took your hand, you took mine.
And we dance on the fabric of existence.
The moment we let go of each other,
my hand felt cold.
We’ve been caught in this dance for so long.
As if our hands were meant to be intertwined.
So why is it that I just now realized that we complete each other.
“Smile.
Even if you dying inside.”
What a fucking joke.
Let’s all just contradict our emotions.
Let’s laugh while we’re dying.
Frown when we having fun.
Dance while being broken.
Point is, fuck hiding our emotions behind masks.
Let’s look like how we feel on the inside.
So maybe, just maybe, someone will try to help.
It’s not worth being broken forever.
It’s….just not worth it.
I could always hear the laughter.
It just took me a while to realize that,
they were laughing at me.
So, I foolishly laughed along without knowing,
like I was laughing at my mirror.
I kept on laughing though.
The reality of it all is,
I am amusing.
My existence in itself is a joke.
So why not laugh?
It’s funny.
I hope god finds me amusing.
Pen hits the paper.
Ink flows as my mind does.
There’s a biography in each of these poems.
I write my story almost ironically since I have yet to figure out who I am.
Like, writing the biography of a man who has yet to exist.
Another piece sewn into fabric of the fallacy of my existence.
She was peculiar.
She always thought she could escape.
As if she could find her own way into heaven.
So, she carved a path on her flesh.
On her wrists.
A map she can never lose…
Teach me.
I’m so damn tired of being lost.
I want to find myself.
The irony of that is I can’t do it alone.
I want to find myself in you.
In your eyes.
Teach me how to breathe again.
Teach me how to be alive.
Teach me to be inspired.
Let’s escape from reality.
Drown in the fantasy.
Revel in the moment.
Let’s live life.
My body as a map,
each cut is a path,
and each bruise is a destination.
So painfully in love.
I’ve fallen for the way you breathe,
and the way your lips move when you talk.
I’ve fallen for the way you fall asleep in my arms.
I haven’t fallen for you.
Sadly, that’s too simple.
I’ve fallen for everything about you,
and it’s maddening.
So desperately in love.
Always following you to the ends of the earth…
I wonder why it took me so long to realize that, we were walking in a circle.
He read a lot and said little.
Always thought that was nothing to say that you couldn’t find in those pages.
So he kept his mouth shut.
Not willing to take the risk of being unoriginal.
So all he did with his life was exist.
Funny thing is, in reading all those books of his.
He seemed to forget what irony was.
He was blissfully unaware how unoriginal existing was.
The 100 Days of Poetry is a concept that came out of thin air when I was sitting at home one day. The point is to write a poem for everyday, or at least 100 poems within the 100 day time frame.
