NEVER TO HEAVEN - LANA

...See more May my eyes always stay level to the horizon  May they never gaze as high as heaven to ask why  May i never go where angels fear to tread, So as to have to ask answers in the sky The whys in this life time I've found are inconsequential compared to the magic of nowness.     ~ All credits to mother Lana ❤️ You are free to express your interpretations or what you think❤️❤️

...See more Did this one today... LAMENT, MARCH 2023 Stare at the ceiling as the earth whirls blindly in the dark as you lay there, ears ringing & head pain, as always as your head hurts, spreading middle girth Cold inside, halted, without a spark. The occasional note as your gut slowly drains from the meal of bolted flour, cheese, olives, a manmade ration for the bipedal swine herd Another day ebbs, another evening gains. Stare at the ceiling as daily you know Knowing inescapable: you're past the prime the bald fact, always without tact, Faded mirror never fails to show. Staring upward as the ball hurtles in the black around the hot bright mindless sun, your stare as unseeing as the rock itself a captive in a slowly rotting sack. Feel free to comment, folks. Whaddaya think? I might post more poems here as the inspiration (for lack of a better word) strikes.

Disappear ( trigger warning SI)

...See more Pain it’s like a constant thing  One second you’ve got it figured out The next you’re left hopeless I just wish I could disappear  If no one cares to check in Would they notice I’m gone? Always there for others Is it wrong to want love in return? Maybe I give up Maybe I don’t try It will just make me want to d**

...See more The darkness closes in Remining me of their sins I can't escape and I can't win I cant forget and I can't forgive Open a book, time to escape A new friend, new foe, new escapade Call me a nerd but you aint in my head Without my books i might be de@d Dont worry about me my real family's right here Even though when I open my eyes they disappear The darkness closes in, reminds me of their sins But this time they wont win
I am fine.

...See more You ask me how I am, I honestly think about that question religiously. I try to answer the best way I can, but I do not trust easily, whether friend, whether enemy. I want to say I am really tired, I see this colourful earth in black and white. I wake up each day feeling less inspired I smile with my eyes but the pain is what i hide. What i want to say is if I was on thin ice, I might be the one to sabotage it's beauty. Cut through it until it's as heavy as my lies, and gladly fall into the darkness that is beneath its cruelty. I so badly wait for someone to know I am dying inside, I have never envied transparency this much. I wish they could see through all the tears I've cried, and keep me in their embrace feeling safe by their touch. If only it where that simple, If only it were that fair. If only I could stop feeling so little so my worries could finally be heard. But instead I say I am fine, because they roll of my tongue so easily. I say I am so very fine, Because my mind is used to hiding the ugly. I think we all like to say we are fine, Because no one really has the time to listen to your burdens. It's sad that I have to label this pain as mine, when someone out the has power to unravel the pieces of my curtain. Oh how light it feels to say I am fine, because you refuse to let anyone inside. Afraid that when the have the key to your mind, They can control the actions of your already broken life. I will continue to be fine, It has taken me the long way. As I continue with the voices in my mind, Hopefully the pain will soon go away....
Trapped inside

...See more How i wish to be free From this cage that holds me And my mind that controls me And my thoughts that scold me I’m overwhelmed  I’m trapped wanting to escape But I’m blind looking for the way There’s nothing left Nothing left that I can see It gets so hard to breathe My mind and thoughts They won’t let me be I feel so hopeless Like I’m trapped inside Inside of my mind  Inside of my brain I don’t know why I’m feeling this way And there’s no escape I feel so unsafe I’m dying slowly and I’m trying to see But I’m blind and my mind controls me

...See more This is my first long poem so pls don’t judge Im new to poetry. If you have any suggestions I’ll take it : ) He has claws hidden by smiles He has poison hidden by laughter  He has fangs hidden by promises  He is hungry He is a predator He seeks control Control over little girls To fuel his hunger But he is never full “He” are boys not men Empty, ruthless, hungry boys A hunter I want to bash their heads in with hammers I want to push them down the stairs over and over I want to throw punch One for every finger laid Every look, every graze, every touch I want to roll up every empty word Every “honest mistake” Every misleading syllable  And set on fire I want to throw the fire inside their homes The fire will burn It will destroy And each scream the erupts and echos from he Will be one scream won back for the little girls We are not prey Not any more We are hunters We are predators 
I worked really hard on this poem. Hope you like it.

...See more The lady through the window  I see a lady through the window every night.  Who gives me such a fright.  Watches her TV every night takes care of her baby without a fight.  I see her through the window with bags under her eyes that give me chills every night.  I see her crying through the window and I don’t think she has any hope or light.  I hope with all my might that I won’t become such a fright, a lady through the window through the life of night
COLORS OF LIFE!

...See more I saw the YELLOW lights When I awoke from my slumber deep. The YELLOW sun followed me everywhere, Until I fell asleep. I called the sky my friend, As I ruled its endless BLUE. Even on the rainy days, I could play in the puddles too. The grass is where I sat, When I am done with the play. Its GREEN accompanied my lessons, Up until high-school days. Then I became to old for games, As life became not so fun. After several different broken hearts, I found the right RED one. My suit then, all GRAY and tight, Accompanied me for such quests. Where after I ended up so tired, I wouldn't have exist if i did not rest. But that too went away, At least for some hustling years. 'Cause I then had to provide for, My little new PINK dear. After what felt like ages- Of turns, all up and down; I prevailed down the BROWN paths, Reached the end safe and sound. With every ORANGE dawn and dusk, I saw my dear girl grow big and tall, And followed her tiny steps and strides, Until could not follow at all. Then with my wife, RED and lovely still, Yet all aged with time, I spent hours talking and walking, Until I could walk all fine. When I could not move no more, My dear girl brought her son. And lil' VIOLET and his PURPLE dad, Became more memories fun. All up until this very day, When everyone's all dressed in BLACK. They followed me hand in hand, Despite all that I lack. So I keep reminiscing these thoughts, And wait for the sun and rain. Until the WHITE light catches me, And sends me back again.
