I recently came across my creative writing binder from a few years back, and I've decided to post some of the poems here. Enjoy!
Lucy
The walls inhale and exhale with you
Sinking further, in and out
Everything's a shade of purple
Colors switch and blend and melt
Seeing sound waves
Hearing smells
Movements slowed within the mind
Lost completely
In this sea
This frothy sea of time
Hours pass and things die down
The storm calms
Within your brain
Reality seeps in with the dawn
Until Lucy's back again
Shallow World
Some say the clothes make the man
Some say the hair makes the girl
I guess these fall hand in hand
If you're shallow in this world
I say the man makes the man
I say the girl makes the girl
And that's how things should be
In this shallow world
I Love Lamp
Brilliant, blinding light
Blocked by a shade
Rays penetrate the night
Dark and savored jade
Cold and dark and damp
On the window pane
Stands my favorite lamp
Glistening in the rain
Panic Attack
Temples pounding
Heart racing
Constricting
Contorting
Snapping
Muscle separating from bone
Splintering, cracking, bone
Thoughts a vicious whirlwind
Overwhelming tones
Throat tightening
Exhaling
Fighting to inhale
Failing to inhale
Stomach turns
Twisting and compressing
Organs ripping
Life screeching to a halt
When it leaves me
Breath returns
Organs unwind
Bones uncrack
Muscles untighten
And I wait
When You're Strange
In a room full of people
Completely alone
In a house full of conversation
Not at all involved
In a party full of friends
Fading into walls
Music blasts from the speakers
I hear nothing but my thoughts
Silence creeps from the sleepers
I hear them screaming love me nots
Questions barricade my mind
Am I crazy?
Am I sane?
I think I'm just one of a kind
Though they can't recall my name
Maybe they've got it right
I have a broken brain
