Self Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Personal poetry about the way you feel about yourself
This area is for personal poetry: poems about yourself and your feelings about who you are. Poems here focus on identity, ego, self confidence, insecurities and personality. For readers it's a chance to get to know the poet better and for writers it's an opportunity to analyse themselves by poetic means. The self poems category encourages the poet to lay themselves bare for all to read about, it can be both a frightening and empowering experience.

Hear me
everywhere I go.. I can feel it..
the tormenting tension
trickling throughout
the aggravated
atmosphere..
the confusion
is clear it contaminates
all that's near as we fill with fear
no doubt I've made that rhyme before
but..
I can't take it anymore..
too much to bear
too many tears
to wipe away
at the end of the day.
what can I say?
gotta get away
gotta get away
anyone else feel this way?
am I alone?
it would "appear so"
I just don't know..
just where to go
or just what to do, ...

It Ends In A Whimper
Starts with a scream
Underneath a pile of shit
Its emotional pain gone wrong
Collecting tears in a broken cup
Intentions burn clearer
Death a state of mind
Ending in a whimper
Underneath a pile of shit
Its emotional pain gone wrong
Collecting tears in a broken cup
Intentions burn clearer
Death a state of mind
Ending in a whimper

A Rotten Weed
Weeds that sprout
Searching to fill gaps
Clinging on to beauty
Choking it slowly
Rotten roots digging in
Parasitic vegetation
With no purpose
Wants its ugliness
To spread among the flower beds
A poison
That never needs the sun
An everlasting reminder
That somethings need to die
Somethings won’t be missed
Searching to fill gaps
Clinging on to beauty
Choking it slowly
Rotten roots digging in
Parasitic vegetation
With no purpose
Wants its ugliness
To spread among the flower beds
A poison
That never needs the sun
An everlasting reminder
That somethings need to die
Somethings won’t be missed

Dear Me
Many hate ourselves and we may never know why
Dear me,
I’m running out of songs to write
They’re about the same pain every
Time to face the facts, to face the truth
I’m still hurt; I’m still mad; I’m still scared of you.
You thought the universe would cheat you
And by that you cheated me
And you laid in bed shaking,
sick; afraid to fall asleep
But you never truly woke up
Despite a working body
And the world has nothing to do with your current suffering
Perhaps this whole time you’ve been asleep. ...

And you laid in bed shaking,

And the world has nothing to do with your current suffering

THANK GOD
I wish i could spot the first day i came into this crazy world...
Unfortunately i can't..
The only fact I am 100% sure of is..
I was born with a purpose..
God had it in plan..
That got me sneaking glances in this world..
From that innocent young boy...
Dull enough and free of sin..
I grew up to know true and false..
I regret the first day I gained that wisdom..
Of choosing between right and wrong...
Coz that didn't really bring me to harvest...
But rather complete varnish throughout..
The first day I knew to choose...
Unfortunately i can't..
The only fact I am 100% sure of is..
I was born with a purpose..
God had it in plan..
That got me sneaking glances in this world..
From that innocent young boy...
Dull enough and free of sin..

I regret the first day I gained that wisdom..
Of choosing between right and wrong...
Coz that didn't really bring me to harvest...
But rather complete varnish throughout..
The first day I knew to choose...

charging - 49%
honestly, these last few days
have really gotten to me
thought I could throw it together
but it’s not meant to be and
thought I could write it down
put the feelings to words but
I can’t always be open
need to keep the door shut
seems like I’m either all in
or trying to get out of here
need to be somewhere, unaware
anywhere, I don’t care
so just take me away or
come and whisper to me,
can’t hide from the darkness
it’s getting kind of gloomy
need to release somehow
although I can’t be positive
is this even...

Shadowy Mist
Out of the shadowy mist
Come the ghosts of should have been
Ghouls that love to haunt me
Taunting me
I’m the dark lonely house
Perched on the hill
Broken
Run down
The dark cloud
In a sea of blue
Endlessly floating with pain
Never releasing my rain
I am every little piece
Of darkness
The world
Has sought to burn
Come the ghosts of should have been
Ghouls that love to haunt me
Taunting me
I’m the dark lonely house
Perched on the hill
Broken
Run down
The dark cloud
In a sea of blue
Endlessly floating with pain
Never releasing my rain
I am every little piece
Of darkness
The world
Has sought to burn

Gravity Of Insanity
The seam is threadbare
No tragedy
Falling apart
Piece by piece
Outside
There’s nothing wrong
Inside
My mind is burning reason
Voices fight for control
Forgotten
What calm really means
I’ve fooled every one but me
Concealing the battle
Far too long
The scars remain constant
Like air
What little common sense
I once had
Has ebbed away
There’s no mercy
Caught in the gravity
Of my own inanity
No tragedy
Falling apart
Piece by piece
Outside
There’s nothing wrong
Inside
My mind is burning reason
Voices fight for control
Forgotten
What calm really means
I’ve fooled every one but me
Concealing the battle
Far too long
The scars remain constant
Like air
What little common sense
I once had
Has ebbed away
There’s no mercy
Caught in the gravity
Of my own inanity

Tonight I Face You
over analyzing my life has resulted in failure to live it
emotions are meant to be felt not thought about
I must first feel them to stop fearing them
overthinking has crept me dangerously close to catatonia
total failure to feel equates to paralyzation
tonight I wade deep into my pain
as I deny my lungs they burn as does my soul
I cannot hold out any longer
going, going, gone
my mouth contorts into a hideous scream
as I breakdown my body betrays me
vigorously I...
