Skylar Mcdow Poem
I grew up on a lilac dream
along with a few shows on tv
I like video games and writing stupidly long things
I got taught that life is what you make it
I'm about to turn fifteen and I'm pretty smart for my age
I just feel like I try too hard and sleep too little
I'm on my tenth week running on caffeine and my last string of brain cells
When I need my brain the most
It powers down like it's slamming on breaks
I should thank my melatonin mind for setting me straight
My grades are straighter than my sexuality
People make fun of me but I still help them with the work that should be easy
It's a good thing I'm so forgiving
It's ok here in this place I call home
I just hope I can make it out before I plummet down
I usually forget my name
My birthday goes out the top of my brain along with others
I think that my name should be memorable to at least a few of you
that includes me
I can't deal with this
Because I don't even remember what my favorite color is
I'm stressed
Tiered and full of pain
Yet I can't get the tears out until I've had my moments of happiness
Though I may not write well
I'm not a puppet on a string
They all treat me like I'm just a pawn
Something that can just be replaced
Even Pinocchio was treated better than this
I have never taken more than my share
If anything I haven't taken enough
They say to treat people the way you want to be treated
If that's the case I need to get more violent
The people who have taken to the streets
I respect them for that
because they can fight for their right to believe
The right to speak free
Even now you have to pay the rich just to live
I thought living was supposed to be paradise
But in the end, the only thing that is peaceful
that would be when the last words someone speaks to you is R.I.P.
So to end this all with a bang just like how life all started
Rest in peace oh, Parasitic Paradise

Skylar Mcdow Poem
I got taught that demons were these evil beings
Full of hate and sin
And they are but so are we
they used to be human
just like you and me
No one gave them a second chance
They all just went mad
They lost their humanity
they lost the path
They all fell down lower
into the pits of hell
Flames pilled high
Smoke acts like clouds in the sky
Ash is like the oxygen in our lungs
Just know that the most common sin we all have
It would most likely be Greed
It is easy to long for more
For better
You get worse as you go
We all want what's best
Sometimes we want it a little too much
We get it
then it gets plucked
right out of our very hands
Just out of reach
Get a grip
You can't
If I die
I want to try
To go further down
Then even the Devil himself
So that he can't reach me
as he did with my soul
Just out of reach
He can't get me now

Skylar Mcdow Poem
I am a dreamer
I wonder what it will feel like to have peace in the world
I hear the world slowly burning and cracking the ice beneath my feet
I see a world so cold and lonely while people scream for their rights and their dreams
I want to escape from the eclipse eating at my future
I am a dreamer
I pretend I am in a lavender dream
I feel worried about the road amidst the crowd of failed hopes and false faith
I touch my head and try to keep it on right
I worry that I will lose sight of what I want
I cry about how in the end nothing you do matters and your just going to be forgotten
I am a dreamer
I understand the agonizing meaning of life is to try and make it better for others who are better off
I say that when I die, no one will remember my name
I dream that the world will realize what they have done wrong
I try to prove to everyone that I'm not just some worthless dreamer
I hope my name doesn't fade anytime soon
I am a dreamer

Skylar Mcdow Poem
Hate without Love
Is like a Brain with no Knowledge
Good never existed before the Bad
Pain usually comes with Sorrow
Sorrow is generally after a broken heart
Though I don’t know much about love
When I look at you
I feel as if I have known you for a thousand lifetimes
Your words are like a Melody
And your eyes tell me a story
So Beautiful and Pure
My heart thumps when your near
Even if you do not love me
I will be here
As God as my witness
I will do my best
To give the world something to show
For how much humanity has grown
To me, you are a saint
An angel sent to set my soul free
Let us fly away from this horrid place
And find us peace
Melancholy eyes
Looking in mine
You have no clue what you make me feel about you
You give me butterflies
I know it’s not an original phrase to say
But, there is no better way to say you make me love every second spent
If it was with you by my side
Sweet Love of Mine

Skylar Mcdow Poem
The feeling of being empty
Like a car with no gas
Life without purpose
Life with no meaning
The Nameless things in life
What is love?
I never heard of such a thing
My heart longs for something that I don’t know the name
Of all the things in life, the thing I like is pain
The pain of having friends who don’t care
The pain of only having one person to rely on in the world
The pain of hurting
The pain of stress
The pain of being alone
The Nameless things in life
No meaning
No use
Life itself is kicking you in the butt
The world went bad
But our lives go on
The Nameless things in life
Help me
I feel like I’m drowning
I can’t swim because of the weight I carry
All the salt getting into my scars
It burns me and it’s getting harder to breathe down here underwater
Are you going to help me
Or do I have to help myself like I do every day?
The Nameless things in life
Drag myself out of the water
My legs broken
I fall into a different problem
Straight to a war
In my body, it’s a war between my heart and my head
My heart says listen to your feelings
My head says that there are none left
The Nameless things in life
My plans are awry
My veins have run dry
You can’t see me bleed
You have no reason to hurt me anymore
I have won again
I will probably die here on the ground
No one will miss me so farewell
The Nameless things in life
When the world is watching
When the world is quiet
You can hear it in your head
Don’t do this
You can’t win
Don’t listen to it because
You can
The Nameless things in life
It took me this long
To listen to the ones whom I love
I found the meaning of that feeling I longed
I thank myself for getting me through the troubled road
I thank myself for not giving up on the nameless things in life
The things you live for
The things we all feel
The thing is that I am not the only one who is watching their world decay
My mind is a puzzle
And I just found the missing piece
My brain functions better
Now that I am in the right place
I have gotten better than I was when I started out
The thing about life
Is you can always be yourself
The Nameless things in life can be good if you try

Skylar Mcdow Poem
Looking at you with saddened eyes
You lay in a death bed six feet under the ground
Even then I still feel you next to me
You embrace me with your cold ice skin
Lay me down next to you
That way I can be with you again
Lay me down
Lay me down with you
You walk with me everywhere I go
You never left my side even though you have died
Don’t leave me again
I want you to be with me till the end
My time will come
We just have to wait
I’ll join you soon
Lay me down
Lay me down with you
The day you died was the day I realized
I didn’t want to be without you
I want you to be alive
I know that can’t happen but I can’t be happy without you with me
I want to see you
I want to be near you
You are always with me
You are right next to me
I can’t see you
I want to kill myself so I can be with you
Lay me down
Lay me down with you
Embrace me with your beautifully pale skin
Sickly losing my mind
I’ve grown so addicted to your love
I need you more and more each day
Being apart leaves me in pain
I’m going insane
Love me
Love me more each day
Lay me down
Lay me down with you

Skylar Mcdow Poem
Our love was superhuman
Now it has become a ghosting promise
The memories we shared together got lost in the sand we used stand in
How could a love like this turn out so villainous?
I became the antihero today
I’m a stone cold killer of the love we once knew
My heart leapt out of my chest and ran away
I never thought that I would end up like you
Cold and alone, here lies my soul
Along this dark, winding road
My words come and go without my control
I always waited but you never showed
My mind is fragmented into a thousand woes
I thought it would be better for you to know
