Ode To Anxiety
It was a struggle at first But now my old friend visits Again and again Leaving me helpless in pain Food becomes foe And nights a sweaty drench Laughter leaves the soul Eyes are fogged and blank I learn to laugh again Feels good Like emerging from a black hole Learning to see again Stronger I am and more confident It will come again I know But it’ll never take me back I know This is another awesome poem by MistryLand who hadn’t written for a while but I’m so glad she’s writing again! It’s so relatable and descriptive and really captures what having anxiety feels like. For more about…

Devastated- Poetry
It is hard to believe what they say With every sentence uttered From their perfectly synchronized lips That the fate of humanity could be so cruel Their actions carried out against our brothers and sisters Out somewhere are real I can not hear them anymore It’s better to switch the channel To shut out the agonizing truth of their life From mine. If I don’t hear it, it’s not true If I don’t see it, it’s not true Their tortured pathetic life is now a fictional story But does it? Do they stop seeing their loved ones from being slaughtered Every Single Day? To live within rules Confined…

A Rainy Day- Poetry
Under the dark greying mass I look out As the rain unleashes its temper Protected behind my window As if looking past another world The beats gradually increase Performing a tribal dance as if memorized Or perhaps like pots and pans Falling with a clatter Time stands still Or maybe it’s the traffic A pink finger appears And draws a smile On the fogged window I draw back a ‘hello’ A curtain of rain between us Protected behind our windows This poem was written on a journey through the rain in a car but it is also symbolic of strangers who connect through nature but still are…

The Unborns- Poetry
The Unborns She was expecting a baby She was going to paint her room pink She would have been her little princess Until she was born dead The world was still The tears were dry It didn’t matter anymore Because she was born dead She stopped crying at the park Where little girls ran to their mother She stopped question herself Why was she born dead? She gave birth to a son He was her little prince But when she went to sleep that night Her little girl ran into her arms in her dreams This poem is about a woman who has a miscarriage and how…

I Am Lost- Poetry
I am lost in the world of my thoughts Thinking of anything and nothing It’s a mess up there And I don’t know how to sort it out People say I am very quiet They don’t understand the noise in my head It’s a storm clashing with ships It’s a hatching of an egg as the offspring peeps out What is that voice? That talks to me in the chaos Where did it come from? Had it always been there? I cease to exist in the real world I am lost In the world Of my thoughts This poem is mainly about what it feels like to…

Devastation- Poetry
With words lapping like waves on the sand I don’t understand the fire in my heart It feels like a rows of buildings collapsing from the sky Like a puzzle made by a child And here I am standing in the mist of it all Wondering where it all went wrong This urge to grip my flesh And pull it down in vain To lessen the burden of pain The shining stars turn to silver daggers Close the curtains I cannot bear it anymore This feeling that budded so softly In the pits of my womb That turned into a mad, craving monster Tearing me apart Like the…

I Am Scared- Poetry
I am scared of what I’ll find Behind the closed doors I’ve been hidden from I am scared of the stories I’ve heard about the world I can’t stay ignorant anymore I have to go out there But I’m scared of what’s out there Inhumane is in itself an irony Mocking, teasing, suicide Abuse, rape, murder I’m scared I’ll be a victim If I stay out too late If I express myself I have been hidden behind the walls of shelter Of my father, of my brother But what of those Who are left naked in this world? I am scared Of what might happen to them This powerfully raw…

I Wish- Poetry
I wish I was taller I wish my eyes were bright I wish I could cook better I wish I could understand the significance of life I wish I was thinner I wish I could see myself for who I am I wish I could draw better I wish to be lost I wish I was a singer I wish I was a scientist I wish I could be present I wish I didn’t live in my head I wish I was less anxious I wish I was kinder I wish I was a mysterious enigma I wish I could just be me And not wish for…

Give A Bit Of Yours (Guest Post)
Rub off from everyone Bit by bit Take a bit of theirs Give a bit of yours Learn how to tease Learn how to taunt Learn how to dress And learn how to please They might force you to smoke They might force you to drink Yes or no Give a bit of yours Make a wise choice!

This is why we…
