The Great Unrest
Noise that fills the troubled mind
Ins and outs they all collide
Thoughts drowned out not fully formed
Coming through faster than the norm
Rising up then falling down
Trying to escape this horrible sound
Running far away it seems
Yet not moving towards my dreams
Now little more than a memory
The quiet seems to be a dream
Ins and outs they all collide
Thoughts drowned out not fully formed
Coming through faster than the norm
Rising up then falling down
Trying to escape this horrible sound
Running far away it seems
Yet not moving towards my dreams
Now little more than a memory
The quiet seems to be a dream

sleepless
sleepless nights and hopeless dreams
thoughts of death slip into my head
can't be left alone again
forcing me to take pills so i'm "happy"
but what is happy anyways?
they say they wanna die as a joke
they don't know us well then
suicidal thoughts are common with us
gabe, zach, aubri, helena
weird but
why not trust the weird ones?
they keep your secrets better than miss gossip girl does
are you okay they ask
really? you're asking now, after you notice i've been cutting?
what is wrong with some people
you tell them you...

9:23AM
It’s 8AM and my mind has been constantly teetering on the edge of dreams and unrest.
It’s 8AM and my eyelids shutter closed to shield my eyes from the might of day, only to blearily open again.
It’s 8AM and I’ve stayed awake for many nights, watching the sunlight bleed through so-called “blackout” curtains.
I’ve witnessed the cycles for over a month now, and yet I have seen no sunrise.
I lock myself inside of these walls as my inner conflict begins to swell and stack it’s walls just as high—no higher.
For the first time in my life the extroverted are just...

Awake
I lie awake every second dreaming of sleep
Oh how you are constantly just out of reach
My eyes can't stay shut. You allude me still
The light becoming my enemy as time goes by
My vision and hearing playing tricks on me
Got me questioning what is truly reality
Sleep is what I need to clear these demons
I just want to rest even if it's just for a second
Oh how you are constantly just out of reach
My eyes can't stay shut. You allude me still
The light becoming my enemy as time goes by
My vision and hearing playing tricks on me
Got me questioning what is truly reality
Sleep is what I need to clear these demons
I just want to rest even if it's just for a second

On Jumbled Thoughts & Memories
Behind my eyes there's a purple scene
As if it drifted from another dream
Slightly grainy, low light
After all, it is the night
In the distance a silhouette
A figure wearing a sunhat
The contrast isn't lost on me
What're they doing, who could they be
I dare not open, look away
My fates sealed, here to stay
I don't know how, in this black
Something taken, not put back
They loom and creep, ever near
My breath quickens, gripped with fear
Shadowy long and flowing hair ...
As if it drifted from another dream
Slightly grainy, low light
After all, it is the night
In the distance a silhouette
A figure wearing a sunhat
The contrast isn't lost on me
What're they doing, who could they be
I dare not open, look away
My fates sealed, here to stay
I don't know how, in this black
Something taken, not put back
They loom and creep, ever near
My breath quickens, gripped with fear
Shadowy long and flowing hair ...

Insomnia (Also low-key dark and drug poem)
I wake up in the morning
Already running out of time
Because I went to bed at 6 AM
And woke up at 8:09
I know it isn't healthy, I know it isn't good
I know, I know, I'm not doing what I should
Insomnia is a drug that I'm addicted to
I try to sleep, I'm not lying, it's true
If you just called my bluff then you'd be right
But now and then I do put up a fight
These sleepless nights do me nothing but harm
But I still stay awake with no need for an alarm
Nobody's noticed
Constantly living on two hours of sleep
It's...

Sleepless Night
It's another
sleepless night,
Like it used to be,
when my mind
can't be silenced
to rest and pause,
when my thoughts
wander in endless stream
as they fly free,
in my world
of reveries and reminiscence.

Waking Night
I've been up for nights on end
Weeks go by with little change
And I'm tired all the time
I can't find my way back to the same sleep pattern
As the rest of humanity
Or just the humanity at home
So I spend the nights all alone in front of the tv
Or with a book open in my lap
Another goddamn book I should say
Since I've read so many
While the moon slowly tracked across my sky
That they all seem to be blending together
I stay alive with the help of naps in the middle of the day
That come over me with their own kind of darkness ...
Weeks go by with little change

Another goddamn book I should say
Since I've read so many
While the moon slowly tracked across my sky
That they all seem to be blending together
I stay alive with the help of naps in the middle of the day

Left (At That)
Punch out a pop'eyed po'um for the greater world of words
to be
re-warded wit. We know it'll do lottsa "good"",
(won't'it?)
Slap me face on the darkside of the Moon, just forsake of
re-verbiation(s).
Kick me in the grid of groin. There ain't any thing that "works"
in there
any-way.
Me guts been on th'floor for lottsa time it seems, so just re-member
them olde days ...

Run and Gun
(to the NaPoWriMo2020 Writers)
We’re in the final stretch
For me it’s four more corps scores to pour and flow
I may be tired but I’m hella wired on the music
Inspired by years of experience it’s like ammo
And as I try to gun it and run it
I find fresh lines of mind-numbing prime rhymes
It’s like playing a song stuck on loop in my head
As if I’m remembering never ending good times
Composing can have an unrelenting pace
When the words are speaking faster than my heart
Like 200 BPMs and the volume is up to ten
I better...

Moon Beam Insomniac
Mind cleaved, in two sites.
Never ending, fight or flight?
Corrosive fear, corrupting sight;
Moon full, no sleep tonight.
Stalking my rest,
Peeping through clouds,
Shining regret,
Beaming out loud!
Finally, sleep.
I find no peace;
Ravenous waits
the mouth of the beast!
Insatiable, slavering
Maw, swallows whole,
Scream out, vague slumber
“You can’t have my soul”
So I’ll ride on your beams
Till morning has come.
Best to take rest,
In the light of the Sun..
Never ending, fight or flight?
Corrosive fear, corrupting sight;
Moon full, no sleep tonight.
Stalking my rest,
Peeping through clouds,
Shining regret,
Beaming out loud!
Finally, sleep.
I find no peace;
Ravenous waits
the mouth of the beast!
Insatiable, slavering
Maw, swallows whole,
Scream out, vague slumber
“You can’t have my soul”
So I’ll ride on your beams
Till morning has come.
Best to take rest,
In the light of the Sun..
