Hope took my hand
And said-
Let’s walk a while,
At first I was unsure.
It subtly webbed,
Our fingers-
I couldn’t, them, retract.
With the sound of just,
My heart thumps-
We walked for miles at length.
I tried to slip,
It held me back;
Without making a sound.
Hope took my hand,
Whilst despair,
Was wrapped around my arms.
It gently made
It’s way until,
Despair could not abound.
Hope took my hand,
We walked a while,
And that’s made all the difference.
She wanted to know,
Why I hid during day;
Where my nightmares took me,
In the solace of dusk;
If the golden rays streaming,
When the morning sun comes;
Puts a damp in the void,
She thought was my world.
She wanted to know,
Of the cracks in my building;
The voices I heard when,
Silence- I befriended;
She wanted to know,
Of the life I am seeking;
The universe I envision,
In my kaleidoscope dreams.
She wanted to know,
Of the holes in my heart,
The blackout in my chapters,
The fairytales, I write;
She wanted to know,
In the hopes she could heal,
But every second with her-
Is all the healing I need.

The saying”everybody needs inspiration” rightly applies to this Random, my muse has gone awol and I haven’t been able to write anything meaningful. I signed up for October Poetry Writing month but their prompts haven’t titled my writing bone yet. Any tips?
Don’t fall in love with me she said-
I shine too bright,
I burn too fast,
My embers and flames,
Are tortuous beyond sight;
Don’t fall in love with me she said-
I am jagged at the edges,
Holed in the middle,
All shades of dark surround me,
My smile would be your nightmare.
Don’t fall in love with me she said-
My smile would trap your frail heart,
And I’ll leave you hanging,
It’s a curse, it’s the truth,
I’m a hard face to get rid off;
And fall in love with her he did-
You’re tough, I’m tougher
You’re scarred, I’m broken
You’re grey, I’m a dark vault
Your nightmares would be appealing.
And fall in love with her he did-
It’s a curse, it’s the truth
I’d love to Marry you;
If you do, leave me hanging,
It’d be a pleasure to be left
Hanging by you.

Girls don’t do that,
She was imposed as a child;
Wipe off those tears,
And replace with a smile;
Disheveled head,
Was a sin in their crowds;
Right from her start,
She was trained to disguise.
She mastered the talent,
Of a face behind a smile;
Hid imperfections,
It was a sin in their crowd;
Bottling up emotions,
Was the only way to live;
Hiding her Brains,
Her job was to be pretty.
And with the sun rose,
An actor ready for the part;
And when the night fell,
Her demons-they befriended her;
For the light brought with it,
A part, society had imposed;
And darkness was a relief,
To the face behind the glam.
Girls don’t do that,
They imposed as a child;
And now they wonder,
Why her sheets are soaked at night.

When I was sixteen, I wrote this poem 😀
How did I get here?
To the point of no return;
Where everything’s so gloomy and doomed,
With paths yet to be formed.
Without even a ray of light,
I feel so forlorn;
My hearts become as cold as Ice-
My soul, withering inside.
Glaring up at the sky at night,
Expecting to see stars;
But things are as dark as can be,
Silence being the ultimate sound.
No really, how did I get here?
I ask myself again;
Recalling all those times I spent,
In warmth and happiness.
I’ve got to let go of these ropes,
That keep holding me back;
Then run as fast as my legs can-
Far away, from this damn.
Then maybe if I get lucky,
I’ll find that beam of light;
My heart would melt but be intact-
My soul would come alive.
I wish I could give all the sad people a hug
Hold them tight, whisper ‘it’d be fine”-
I’m crazy like that;
But I know it’d be all right,
Cause I was one of them,
Engulfed by the dark-
Yet yearning light;
In search of love,
Yet ignoring I.
But I found it-
The light;
It wasn’t an easy ride-
I cried, I screamed,
Then I lay down, was weak;
Oh and I prayed to be free-
All night, I beseech peace;
And He answered, cause I found it-
That peace; I found me.
And I didn’t need any hug,
I hugged myself to sleep;
And I was at peace-
My life was enough for me.
It’s closing in
The walls; they’re coming down
On me
I’m freaking out
Inside; but they can’t hear
A thing
I’m trying hard
Not to sink, but floating
Isn’t my thing
I’m losing faith
Save me; I can’t save
My skin
Hear my cry
For help; set me free
From this
I’m losing grip
Fading into the blur-
That tirelessly wants me
It’s closing in
Hear my cry for help
Save me free.
