Word Used for Prompt: Weapon
Dont aim your hateful words
Filled with venom and chaos
At me like I’m the one who
Set in motion your self spiraling
Destructional behaviors.
Check yourself first
Because you’re not the only one
Armed with a weapon
So dangerous it could
Tremble the earth you walk on.
Word Used for Prompt: Cell
Every inch of my body
From my skin to my soul
I know every cell in my body
Reverberates with excitement
Just by you saying my name
And the smile crosses your face
Just staring in ignoranceful bliss
At my unknowingness of your
Undying and unconditional love
For me.
Tell me
Was it all real?
Did you even love me
or was it all just deception
I wonder.
You’re not a pick me up
if you continue to drag me down
I’m awake
but I’m not functioning.
My brains rushing
but I cannot focus on a single thought.
You promised to keep me together
but I feel myself falling apart.
I am scared for this serene peace
to slowly leave my body
as I must wait to get
the next dosage coursing
through my veins to keep
my overflowing thoughts
from careening into
the darkness it likes to
inch towards.
I let you consume
my thoughts longer
then one should.
I am finally
letting go of
the animosity
that I’ve clung to
for years to
make me feel better
about my burning
Depression that clung to me
like a shadow.
I’m sorry for holding
such hatred in my heart
when I was harming myself
more than helping my inner peace
I set you free in hopes
I will finally heal in
the ways I should have
years ago.
Oh, the editing process
how we love and hate you
all within the same breath.
I may be a background
character in your lives,
but I am content with
even just existing
for even just a moment’s time;
because in those moments
I was important enough
to share a special memory
we may never get to have
again.
This long drawn out battle
between my demons
who fought hard
to pull me under the water’s surface
will no see victory
as I will fight
until I claim victory over my own life.
As of lately, my life has spiraled with
One thing after another;
a series of events
that is slowly making me numb.
The static in my head
is like music to my ears.
I don’t feel much anymore,
except the negative emotions
that have taken over my brain
to call it their home.
