Loser

I feel as if I’m inadequate,
No job and no money, worthless…
I’m sad and jealous…

I feel like a loser, with nothing 
To show,
I feel fat and gross,
Internal battles are plaguing me…

I wish I looked different,
And had something to feel proud of…
I have nothing to contribute,
And I feel like a burden…

I wish I could go to this and this,
And buy lots of groceries…

My self-esteem is at a low,
I see nothing but flaws…
I hate looking at myself…
No job, fat, gross, worthless…

I feel like a loser…
In my eyes, everyone’s prettier,
More successful and skinnier…

I yearn for confidence…
I want so badly for money, and a REAL job…

Instead I’ve nothing, 
It’s not that I don’t try,
I try so hard,

And with every day that passes,
No call, no emails,
I feel worse,
My heart gets heavier…
I don’t want to eat in fear

That I’ll gain weight,
I don’t like my arms, stomach, and legs…
My smile is crooked,
And I have two chins…

I’m tired of my internal struggles…
Hearing my thoughts all day…
I wish I felt better,
I’d give anything…

Conquered

The cool breeze soothes
The wounds on my cheek

The night is quiet, not even a peep

The stars shining bright, in the ebony sky

It gives me hope that I'll be alright...

The sidewalk stands firm, under my feet
I lean against the wind, and softly breathe

Exhaling the pain, discomfort, defeat..
Igniting the strength that lies inside me

I open my eyes, sore from the crying,
I need the help, I'm not denying..

A change needs to happen, and it starts 
Right now,
I'll hold my head high, as high as the clouds

Wipe away the tears, and know my wounds will heal
With time and resilience, I will prevail.

I can't do it alone, I'll have to reach out
For others for guidance and I will not pout

When obstacles occur, I'll face them head on
And I will conquer...

Dui

It was a dark, snowy night,
My blurry eyesight,

I'm just trying to get from point a to B
But I can barely see,

I can hardly walk, talk, stand,
My slurred speech,

I know I shouldn't be driving,
But nothing will happen to me...

Until all of a sudden my car swerves,
It ignites my nerves,
I jerk the wheel to avoid going off the road,

Little did I know,
A car was coming the other way,
I didn't have the time, to move my car,
I crash,

The airbag explodes,
Glass shatters, I stagger,
Out of the car, blood dripping,
From who knows where...

I hope they're okay, their car's crushed,
The front end mangled,
The drivers tangled,

In between the seats, I try to reach,
For them, but I collapse,
The pain rushes through my punctured
Lung,
I'm done...

I lie down, try to breathe,
But it hurts, sharp pains
Pierce my veins..

I can't move, hurt and cold, I can't speak,
I wish I would've listened when they preached,

I was dumb, believed in invincibility..
Now I'm dying, my future is bleak,

I close my eyes, try to regain peace,
Slowly I'm numbing, it's a welcomed ease,

I drift away, into my mind,
Never to wake, I've left it all behind..

Time Is of the Essence

The good and bad thing about time is that it's constant, 
It always goes by,

And the days, months, and years have
Gone by in the blink of an eye...

You'll grow older and move on,
And I'll keep pushing and remain strong...

Time will not stop for anything,
It may feel like it's frozen for a moment,
But you look to the clock and times really flying...

We want to fast forward time, push pause, or
Rewind..
Maybe fix mistakes or find people we've left behind...

There's no such thing as staying in today,

We always want the weekend to come on Monday and for the never ending Friday 

Time is not a song that you can just put on replay, 

It is priceless, valued, and taken for granted,
To cherish the time given to us is a must,

To not worry about turning back time or what the future will bring,
But to breathe and appreciate every second 
Of just being,

Time is not promised, and things can change,
Stop worrying about yesterday and focusing on tomorrow,
Those are now out of your range,

But at this point in time you can grab and make
The best out of each second, minute, and hour..

In time, there will be sadness, pain, and heartache, 
Those feelings are inevitable, 
At times it may feel like more than you can take,

We need to embrace the time we get together,
To smile and the sounds of laughter,

Feel the breeze blow, the sun rays..look up to the blue sky And be thankful for the time you have today..

Self-Esteem

I look in the mirror,
What do I see?

A distorted figure looking 
Back at me...

I see all the tissue and I pull on my skin,
And reminisced on when I was thin,

I see the jiggles and double chin,
So in order to hide it, I choose to grin,

I don't like what I see, in the mirror
Made of glass,
I turn to the side and check out my ass..

I suck in my stomach, and push it flat,
Oh how I wish it could just stay like that..

I ask my loved ones numerous times 
In one day, if I've gained weight..

I wish that I could just be confident in 
My skin... The way others are, whether thick or thin..

I dream of a day when I can look at my reflection, like all that I see, instead of imperfection...

See Through Me--Eden Ryan Visual 1, 25 Words

I fear if someone looks hard
They'll see I'm broken..

My mask will fall off, my eyes will expose
My past, my heart--things unspoken..

A Recovery Poem--For Anyone Struggling

A light show
Within the night sky
Strikes of lightning
Shines tonight,

The quiet rumbling
Of thunder,
I feel the heavens
Pull me under,

I’m in a trance,
While I watch the skies dance,

The winds blow stronger,
The raindrops start,

I close my eyes,
And open my heart,

My hair flows with the wind,
This is bliss, I don’t want it
To end,

My peace of mind,
Is in the sky,

I don’t say a word,
I don’t ask “why”,

Whoever’s making the skies 
Bright,
I feel them enter
My somber mind,

This is my escape,
This is it,

The hairs on my neck
Stand up straight,

I feel the spirit of the sky
And it feels great,

The sky lights grow brighter,
And the thunder roars,

The trees start swaying,
To and fro,

I feel as light as the
Leaves of the trees,

“I surrender!” I scream
on bended knees,

“Oh thy in the sky,
Show me the way,
To the right path,
I don’t wish to astray”

The raindrops pour,
My skin is wet,

I can’t distinguish
The rain from my tears,

I’m finally free
From all my fears,

The spirit that
Is lighting up 
The night,
Has given me the strength
To win this fight,

I stand up on my 
Bare feet,
Hold out my arms
And admit I’m beat,

My second chance,
To do it right,
I’ll embrace the spirit
Of the sky,
With all my might,

A new start,
With a free heart and mind,
I’m going to do it,
One day at a time…

Marilyn Monroe

I feel empty, 
Or feel too much 
Like Marilyn Monroe 

Like me,
What goes on through our heads
Only we would know..

We just wanted love,
Without any conditions..

We've known a form of love 
And its many renditions 

But it wasn't real, nor was it true,
So we gave ourselves up, 
To be with who 

We thought would complete us,
However, we could not trust,

Our anxious minds lit up the night
With silly thoughts and thoughtful rhymes..

All we want is to be loved, 
More than anything, 
I just might,

Close off my heart and seal off its cracks...
All I wanted was our love to leave sweet tracks,

But all I can feel is nostalgia and woe,
Very similar to Marilyn Monroe...

Love is, and was, our goal,
To find the person to make us whole,

But all we got was hatred and were berated,
Like we didn't deserve to fill our heart,

And it tears me apart,
Like other beings,
We need love,

We need that other to complete us like a glove..
 
Like Marilyn Monroe, 
I've been beaten down, and felt trapped

Inside my own head and heart,
But I haven't snapped...

Like Marilyn Monroe,
I keep standing strong,
Not losing hope..

That one day my love will come along...

Have You Ever

Have you ever questioned yourself? 
Felt like you've done nothing right?

Have you ever put on a smile, yet cried
Quietly all night?

Have you ever felt so alone around an
Abundance of people? 
Closed yourself off and pretended none of it was real

Have you ever held back the tears of anxiety and pain?
So when you're alone they pour down like rain

Have you ever felt like disappearing so you don't have to face all that you're fearing

Have you ever said "I'm just fine, thanks" then after each time your heart slowly breaks

Have you ever just wanted to rip off your mask? To show your true colors but it's too daunting a task

Have you ever felt like screaming but nothing comes out?
Even your voice box is severely worn out

Have you ever felt like giving up because nothing goes right?
Pondering your escape each and every night

Have you ever longed for someone's embrace? 
To help remind you that the world isn't such a bad place...

Apathy

You know that feeling?
That empty existence,

That lack of emotion,
It doesn't make much sense..

It's lonely and hollow,
And only tears follow...

A rut that you're stuck in,
A hole that you've dug...

You don't know how to crawl out of,
And you move like a slug?

Where everything looks grey,
And you're eyes are tired...

And it takes all you have to stay together...

The smiles are fake, 
The eyes lost their spark...

All you want to do is lie alone and cry in
The quiet and dark...

You feel so alone around a hundred people,
And you try to laugh to keep from crying,
Because you're so exhausted from trying...

You just want to escape it all...
Your mind, your thoughts, your feelings
You don't want to hurt, and you don't want to bawl...

You want to smile, without having to force it,
You want to laugh without a rehearsal 

You don't want to be the shell you're becoming...
You want to feel alive and hear your heart drumming 

To be numb or to feel, both have their downsides,
To smile or to cry, I still can't decide...
