Falling Apart

Each day, a raw, unseen battle rages,
My past forever trying to settle its scores.
I'm losing my mind, struggling to leave it behind,
The weight of memories that refuse to unwind.

If I could, I'd change the past,
Erase the pain that forever will last.
My heart's heavy with grudges, judged by unseen eyes,
Each day, I fall apart, trying to mend my shattered sighs.

I'm dry as a bone, my sanity turning to stone,
Each day, my life falls apart, darkness my only home.
I'm trapped in the night, with tears that fall like rain,
But still, the shadows remain, an endless, sleepless pain.

My sanity's broken, my future lost and blown,
I'm unable to forgive, forget, or find my way back home.
I'm broken like glass, my past forever etched in time,
A constant reminder of mistakes that forever will be mine.

A new day dawns, the same regret,
A peace that's lost, and I'm left to confront the wreckage I've met.
I'm a disaster, haunted by ghosts of my past,
Tears falling like autumn's rain, but the pain forever will last.

Sunset

The sun rises and the sun sets ,
Drained , my soul lies to rest.
Mixed emotions blend , within ,
I think i need a second , to breathe in.

The sun rises and the sun sets ,
My life is messed up , i should press reset.
I immediately need to start over ,
With these days literally coming over.

Some days , i would feel lifeless ,
Each day , every hour i need to rest.
I need to think things through ,
To tighten up some loose screws.

The sun rises and the sun sets ,
My life , a new day , the same mess.
I am now at my wits end ,
As my life comes to an end.

Authenticity

Unveiled and untethered , I stand tall ,
A reflection of truth , without disguise or fall.
No masks to hide , no scripts to recite ,
My soul's raw beauty , in pain sight.

The armor shed , the walls laid low ,
Vulnerability's gentle glow.
Embracing flaws , and imperfections too ,
A masterpiece , in progress anew.

In authenticity's warm , golden light ,
I find my voice , my heart's delight.
No pretenses , no apologies made ,
Unbridled truth , in every shade.

With every breath , i own my story ,
Embracing the beauty , in its glory.
Authenticity's liberating call ,
Sets my soul free , standing tall.

Altogether

Earth is a beehive , where humanity resides,
Entering through the same door , side by side.
Yet , we dwell in seperate cells , unique and apart,
Individual lives , experiences , and heartfelt starts.

This shared entrance , a common birthright,
Unites us in vulnerability , in morning light.
Though paths diverge , and perspectives widen,
Our interconnectedness remains , like honeycomb within.

Like bees in harmony , we work as one,
Influencing each other , beneath the golden sun.
Each cell a world , each life a tale,
Together forming the hive , without fail.

We are united , we are together as one,
A tapestry woven , with threads of every tone.
Embracing our differences , we find our strength,
In this delicate balance , our humanity takes length.

Let Go!

What's the point of holding on ,
When all i ever wanted is gone?
My mind tells me to let go ,
My heart says it's not time to go.

I think I should hold on more ,
As the memories within still soar.
Holding on to what was once present ,
The memories i cannot resent.

Whispers of "Let Go!" in my mind ,
Forever echoes and unwinds. 
My soul , my heart forever aches ,
You'd swear , I'm drowning in a lake.

The whispers of "Let Go!" are steady ,
Just that , my heart isn't ready.
Drowning in a lake of memories ,
The whispers still won't cease.

My mind is now fed up ,
Just that my heart , won't give up.
It says , it won't let go ,
It isn't the time to go.

Silent Cries

Night and day , i weep in silence,
A scream only my pillows can sense.
Days blend , lost in a haze of pain,
My soul entwined with tears in vain.

I wander , searching for peaceful shores,
But silent cries echo , forever more.
A fractured mirror reflects my face,
Bruised and battered , a troubled space.

I cry out loud , yet none can hear,
The voice of my silent cries , forever near.
Echoes In my fractured mind resound,
Disturbing eternal peace , forever bound.

But amidst the haze , a glimmer shines,
A guiding light , through troubled mind's shrines.
I'll follow its warmth , and gently unwind,
My silent cries , leaving peace to find.

Swallowed Whole

I've walked a thousand miles , lost in my mind ,
A thousand lies spoken , tears left behind.
Anxiety's dark abyss has swallowed me whole ,
A never-ending hole , where shadows take control.

Hurt a thousand times , I've sighed and cried ,
Lost in darkness , where light has died.
This journey's paved with potholes and pain ,
Life's swallowed me whole , leaving scars that remain.

Some call me a liar , with hearts that I've broke ,
A weight that i carry , a burden to cope.
I wish I'd closed my eyes , to thee flames that I've fuelled ,
Trapped in my lies , my soul has been cruel.

I've walked a thousand miles , through shadows and night ,
Searching for redemption , a guiding light.

Old Flame

In yesterday's embers , our love's ashes lie ,
A fleeting dream , now lost in gray's cold sigh.
Tears fall like autumn's rain ,
Washing away our love's remains , leaving only pain.

Memories linger , a bittersweet refrain ,
Echoes of passion , now distant refrain.
My heart still yearns , a flame that refuses to cease ,
A longing to rekindle , to relive our sweet release.

In dreams , I see your face , a haunting gaze ,
A beauty that bewitched , a love that amazed.
My soul cries out , a desperate plea ,
To revive the spark , to set our love free.
