Listen to your mind
Poetry Contest Description
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, clear your thoughts, then write whatever comes to your mind.
The only rule is this : Do not try to "shape" your writing in any way. Listen to your subconscious, just listen to the words that come in your head and write them exactly as they come. It's harder than it seems.
It can be any length, any style, anything. Any language aswell, so if you're not comfortable with english to the point where you can "think" in english, or just want to do it in your native language, go ahead !
Here's mine :
Black widows
Hanging in the tree
Calling for an encore
Forevermore

Hello anybody home
why?!?
talking to this brain
becomes a bloody pain
people think something is wrong upstairs
why upstairs?
why not downstairs?
why even bother with stairs at all?
A maze perhaps?
looking at a wall to gaze
in a daze

Echoes
echoes in my head
chirping and yet I'm dead
found a mirror there lying on the floor
tell me will it hurt if I lay it in
my pulse is rising
cut me down
til the blood runs further deeper
in reverse
call me angel
call me witch
I am just the devil's bitch
echoes in my head
chirping and yet I'm dead
found a mirror there lying on the floor
tell me will it hurt if I lay it in
my pulse is rising
cut me down
til the blood runs further deeper
in reverse
call me angel
call me witch
I am just the devil's bitch

Why do you ask?
because Karma is a bitch
you deserve shit
you are shit
you cannot get out of the shit
Stop, wait, your not dead yet
There is hope for everyone, right?
I am too old, I will be too old by the time...
anyway, responsibility sucks
I am to old for all of this
So in my head I am disgusted
with the fact that my skin peels
my skin bleeds my skin wets the sheets
There is one thing and only one thing
that I need and that is a good stiff drink or twelve
I can't wait for another breakdown
hopefully it will do the job
Now isn't that odd
that all I write about are my problems
Well, all of my solutions are dead
Memories from hell
Memories from heaven
Give me a keyboard, and I will send you
words from my head
It is: "In need of serious psychiatric help"
Thanks sis for saying that, btw

It doesn't matter,
especially when death comes,
what season it is,
whether into the ether
when a part of a life leaves
through a window, or
out the door in even steps,
3-days worth in a bag
knowing how long as I do
the actual uncounted
in a constant sleep
even during waking hours
forgetting to eat
daylight unable to break
where the blinds are missing

My mother
used to get dressed
in her closet
with the door closed
in the dark
so that her posters
couldn't see her naked
long haired cats
are hard to bathe
when their fur
is covered
in caramel and peanuts
oh, and hot fudge
Daddy found it hilarious
the cat…
not so much...

bitter bessies grooi in my are,
deur roet en rook wat die tralies
van my moordkuil hart versmoor;
ek sterwe in die gleefies
wat daagliks nouer en
nouer om my druk
{ in texture van kant
en bloedrooi bloos}
grou ek jou naam
iewers onder my vel,
soos 'n dom gebed
wat op dowe ore val
my skrif-skreue
word minder werd
terwyl ek my siel
nagtelik verkoop
aan drome oor
lank vergete tye
Listen to your mind
Unravel the automatic pneumatic tubes
and listen to the sound
of synapses sparking in the skull
and sparkling wishes
winking in the infinite darkness.
Turn off the technology and plug in to yourself
surf the subconscious
and take a dive in the oceans of inspiration
ride a star back from the bleak beyond
with the smell of happiness still staining your shirt
and do that thing you always wanted to but talked yourself out of.
