Crucify me Empty thoughts flood my mind filling the void of nothingness leaving me naked and exposed for all to crucify me for my beliefs while I wait for my salvation, never meant to appear to Save me from myself. Peace and love
Crucify me Part 2 I am stripped naked, a lamb led for slaughter for your own perverse pleasure while you watch on your golden throne, ornate with lapis lupis and moonstone, so symbolic of your infinite wisdom as you condemn me for my beliefs that you are not the chosen one, for no one is more special than anyone else but my line of reasoning is out of line and out of touch with your reality. Hang me upon your cross of hatred and I will gladly come back for more if that means I can save one person from the dangers of your delusions. Peace and love
I really like this poem. It's angry and powerful. I'm presuming it's a critique of over-zealous christians. Well written. Never give up. Never cringe. Never waver. Never falter. Stand up for what you believe in. Peace, A.
White whirling wisps of smoke billow from the butt of a cigarette while I inhale its sweet essence, allowing my mind to drift off into sweet nothingness. Peace and love
Leave me alone, broken and bloodied on the side of the street, lost in my infinite sorrows while my heart is torn, beating and bleeding from my deformed chest, with no hope of repair except by some glue will you help me inhale? I'm alone once again. Peace and love
The words that I am searching for cannot or will not have the ability to fully capture the state of my mind, my mental affairs, or my emotional state although I shall fumble for the perfect sounding syllables and imagery unmatched to convey the depths of my infinite sorrow, the self afflicted pain which I put myself through no fault of my own, blame bad genetics, blame a sadistic god, although I prefer to focus my energy on the former of the two. Let me refocus my aim back at the unending pain which eats at my aching heart and destroys my numb mind, reducing me from a person into simple neuron misfirings and dopamine levels out of balance. That is an easy explanation of why I am locked in my own personal heart shaped box but doesn't not provide the key, which would allow me to escape from the bipolar prison I'm within. Peace and love
***Disclaimer*** I am not suicidal so don't take this poem as literal. It's just a creation from the darkest side of mind. This isn't eloquent and sweet, well worded or thought out. it's a glimpse into a tortured mind that might be too much to bear for the average audience who can't relate to the overwhelming pain of living a manic depressive life. Kurdt Kobain knew that burning and uncontrollable pain as well as I do and could express it much better as he did in his brilliant work of art, the ultimate cry for help called Milk It "Look on the bright side is suicide" a statement which is looking more and more attractive every day. What did Kurdt want to call his last release? I hate myself and I want to die That is how I feel tonight. I am tired of the seemingly bottomless pit of depression that appears to be my life. If life is an infinite ocean of experiences, then I am fucked because I can't swim, trying so desperately to stay afloat but drowning keeps looking better and better compared to the struggle of everyday life. I look at the pathetic state of my mind and poem and can only come up with one simple prayer, May I fall asleep and never suffer again. Peace and love
I think this excerpt is great. The simplicity of these first two lines is perfect. I'm lucky in that I can swim.... but sometimes I just forget how. Nice work Hippiechick. Keep posting. Peace, A.
Musings for the night... Trapped inside my mind, inside this world that was never meant to be, the creation of egotistical men with visions of power tainted with corruption. Examine the world and you can clearly see the shallowness, the emptiness of true meaning, everything has a price tag, these lies, the dream, are too expensive for the working man to buy. Image is truth in this society if seeing is believing. Sensationalism sells, Insanity reigns supreme when nothing makes sense, values and vice are interchangeable depending on what day it is. We see what we are shown and believe it is truth. We are given roles to play in this insane circus that so many buy into, purchasing that ticket without contemplating the cost. Individuality no longer exists when it is mass-marketed, purchased at any mall for the low cost of $39.99 for a ripped pair of studded pants nails painted black, just another form of conformity. Those who truly stand out are ridiculed, pushed aside, ostracized from the right minded folks, innovation is dead until we embrace the value of creativity and the human spirit...
I really hope to see your work in print at a local bookstore someday. These are really wonderful. You have such talent...don't let it go to waste.
This is...truely amazing...and now one of my favorite poems. Right up there with Thoughts From Within by Woody Harrelson. Spectacular.
