Reality. Poems

Free Fall

Jumping quickly
out
of known security
into
animation, suspended
above
hard reality
in
momentless time.

Gliding smoothly
through
unknown thoughts
past
unlimited dreams
near
unlived fantasy.

Landing finally
midst
broken dreams
of
desired wishes.

Reflecting quickly
upon
what could have been.

Knowing it never was.

The Constant Conflict

The lurking demons,
Lying deep down within me,
Strive against my good.

Into the unknown

Watching the sunrise is a daily routine
Sleep is just an idea....an ignored dream
Pushing these vessels to a limit most couldn't fathom
Try to find a reason to it 
and legit just don't have one.
love the night like the stars are a part of my soul
been chasing something my entire life,
 something completely unknown
Numb to the reality
that

Between Denial and Reality

You’re not here with me tonight 
But you haven’t been in awhile 
I believe you’re coming home again 
That’s the beauty of being in denial 

That ship has long ago set sail
Any bridges burned and torn down
With my shattered heart and regrets 
I’m a failed king without a crown 

I turned a love so amazing

The Switch Up

This world just keeps becoming 
more & more ridiculous 
Been way past the point
of being sick of this
Every path taken 
turns into a complete disaster
Only way to get through it all
Is a borderline insane/nervous laughter
Always chasing the knowledge 
to know what comes after
Instantly fooling myself into
believing this time will
be the switch up
And ill actually be

THINKING THAT YOU THOUGHT

As if seeping through the paper.  Words;
                     Just seem to disappear.
        Yet absent are the memories,
          From only

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

So many times, I've held my head low 
So many times, I've taken a blow 
Somehow, some way, I've pulled on my strings 
And found some kind of way to better some things 
Take for instance, When I hear a bad rumor 
I say to myself- with a good sense of humour 
"As bad as

A good sense of humour blunts the sharp blade of reality poetry contest

Witty words keep me sane 
A giggle eases, life’s pain
When times are trying
Laugh through the rain
Reroute the grooves
Soften the grain

With faces stiff
A snooty drift
Good humor sees
Life is a gift

Minus a grin
Hard work won’t win
May spot the crowd
But won’t fit in

So when you choose
Smile over frown
You’ll lift the blues
A joyful sound

Breaking free from reality

Tipsy when under the influence
world closes in for a private party
~ the illusion of escape brief

Great Expectations

Everywhere I look I see the effect
Of great expectations washed up 
On the shore of reality.

I know it’s a projection,
But I see it in the faces of everyone
From young to old, happy to sad
And know it is true for them too,
Whether they have accepted it
Or are still rejecting it
Caught in arrested development 
In some stage

Taking A Break From Reality

Don't feel offended
if I come across as flat,
It'll be cause I'll rather
dream than be alive,
I love the fan on full force
as under my sheets,
I have to double wrap
for any comfort,
& its easier to sleep
while freezing.

My dreams to me,
are where,
I need to be.
There's another
universe
I so much desire.
My dreams
without
the nightmares
are constant
reminders.
Flat-ness
of sitting
up for hours
is no life.
May as

A Good Sense Of Humor Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

When the starless nights are bleakly opaque, 
and the sunless days desolately misty, 
to steer the astray life across an ambiguity maze 
within the miasma of misery is not easy. 

As life searches for the escape route in earnestness,
the whisper of humor dispels ludicrous haze from gloomy recess.

Time flounders in the cauldron of harsh reality,

A Good Sense of Humour Blunts the Sharp Blades of Reality

Whimsy

Humour is not always fun
Sometimes it’s out of place
But when it strikes it could just put
A smile upon your face.

While walking barefoot on the sand
And contemplating woe, 
The muse of humour happened by
And this I did compose: 

I am a small and tiny toe
And of the colour pink
I complement my foot so well - 
Just

Unpredictably Predictable

Feelings, like storms, disrupt the inner peace and leave the future uncertain

Hopes, like mountains, seen and far away to reach

Desires, like eternal, keeps running and stop’s nowhere 

Thoughts, like lightning, shine, disappear, and keeps coming 

Tears, like rains, clear the clouds and leave it’s 
Sign

Life, like ocean meets river, people comes from various channels with

Burden Child

You were never meant to be a vessel of sorrow,
Yet the world placed its trembling hands on you.
A child seen as an outcast has no place here, they said,
Treated like a beast than an actual human being.

A childhood of watching, listening, holding secrets like sharp stones in tender palms,
Smiles practiced, tears swallowed, the weight of
