Ramblings
Fingertips clack across the keyboard
As rain taps on the roof.
Cars on the highway rev their engines.
They race.
While families sleep.
Alone, I finish typing,
Pull myself to bed.
Watch the light of my phone
Until the cars sleep too.

Re: Ramblings
Numb face,
Eyes blinking,
Ringing ears,
Skin itching.
Take me, sleep,
For I can wake
No more,
Today.

Re: Ramblings
Abraded, raw,
Teeth clenched, fists balled.
Stop the problem.
End the fall.

Re: Ramblings
I'm such a disappointment,
I'm sure you already know.
A path laid with cracked pavers,
Lump of unrisen dough.
I'm such a disappointment
That I don't want to breathe.
I've outstayed my own welcome and
I want to see me leave.

Re: Ramblings
I wish I could just self destruct,
Leave everything behind.
I wish I could just self destruct,
But it's only in my mind.
I'm not really that lonely
When I don't know what to say.
I'm not really that scared or sad
To face another day.
Can't talk about it anyway,
Not like anyone would care.
But stupid thoughts of self harm
Always linger in the air.
It doesn't matter how I feel
When I shouldn't feel at all.
The day will someday come along
When I will make me fall.
Just cause I want to.

Re: Ramblings
I never really got into poetry. I used to write fiction back in highschool but it got too dark/messy so haven't really touched any sort of writing between then and now.

Re: Ramblings
I would encourage you to keep them @TheVorticon, with the thought to publish them one day ....
My uncle sat down and wrote a book about his life, and then published it ..... it’s something people do ..... it’s a thing .....
