People Don't Last...

poem by Kristen Gunn

I’d say I give you my sympathies But what will that do for you? My mortal self Can't do what you’d like me to Of course if I could I’d make them never die Or at least rid you of regrets For the pain y... Read more

Rorschach's Cage

poem by Darren Brown

Walking in the dark, walls made of stone. Every step gives pause, for they are not alone. Breath grows heavy, the path is long. Ever downward, to where all hope is gone. As dim light glows, what was dreaded appears. Bars... Read more

Sacred Soul

poem by Talal Uddin

We are covered with darkness/ Where black soul is ruling/ Black magic is heavily-coded/ That makes us get mesmerized/ Wrong-doers are still at large/ They are legalised their evil works/ Where good works are a far cry/ Good people ar... Read more

My Opinion

poem by Misti D Lovelace

I've always known it wasn't me. I wasn't making things up and I absolutely didn't want pity. I just needed an adult to see It was a serious matter. I didn't like throwing fits, I knew how stupid it made me look. I didn't like be... Read more

Traces

poem by Emily Bradly

You're everywhere, Traces of you have settled in the dust, Did you know there's nothing more deceiving than trust? On the brink of loosing us, surrounded in the debris of your touch, nothing has ever quite meant this much. The... Read more

Letting Go

poem by Dakota Iris

Letting go. Hands down one of the most difficult things to do. Letting go is like choosing to release the float in the depths of the ocean with hopes of the afterlife being better. Letting go is the knot in your stomach that mak... Read more

The Sky

poem by Dakota Iris

The sky is black. A void of darkness. No life, no light, no lust. A void with nothing to live for, nothing to die for. The sky is black, void of matter and mind. An empty hole to forever fall. For there is no hope for a mass of n... Read more

Dysphoric

poem by Dakota Iris

This skin a phantom. A memory of a typo. A sentence in a book misplaced, Tried to be erased. My chest tied down with ball and chain. A weight that only lightens with struggles to breathe and bruised ribs. Then, only then, can I bre... Read more

Crazy

poem by Misti D Lovelace

Crazy is my alibi, it's my friend, a thief, it's the reason I cry. It is why I get back up. It is the reason I try. It is my dreams, and my nightmares. It is my fate, it will take and take, and take. It calls to my so... Read more

You

Dreams

Now what....

poem by Misti D Lovelace
