A Troubled Soul
The mind is a scary place to wonder
A troubled soul can only tell
What I see behind these eyes
Is far worse than a burning hell
Legs trembling, feet cramping
With each and every step
Life is what you make it
Maybe I just need some help
But after all these years of searching,
Not finding anyone or anything to ease the pain
I've somehow come to accept
I'm just a little bit insane
I thought I would be used to the pain by now
But every time it's deeper, and a little more sincere
Stuck inside my head
I live in constant fear
But the days will carry on
With or without this troubled soul
The earth will keep spinning
Even after we're all in our ho

Where Is The Calm Before The Storm?
I don't think I belong here
With a voice so small it shakes
It's hard to be a diamond
When surrounded by fakes
Why is it a joke to everyone
Nobody ever stops to take a second glance
When I take my own life
They'll still be in a trance
Where is the calm before the storm?
Where is the rainbow after?
I can't feel any emotions
All I can hear is their laughter
But, what's so funny?
How do you even have a reason to smile?
I'm stuck in misery
Always going the extra mile
To be this scared and alone
To be so broken and lost
Someone should help me
I guess they're worried about the cost
Honestly, can I even be saved?
A soul so destroyed, and beaten
This poetry is what keeps me moving
I feel in in every glance
I feel it when you touch me
You are the poetry that lives inside me
I want a love that's like poetry
The kind that lures you in
You never know what you may get
It could take your heart for a spin
But that's what I crave
The adrenaline in my veins
I'm sure when I wake up from this
I won't mind the stains
The silence is like a thousand words
When your body is next to mine
Heartbeat in unison
As I'm mesmerized by how bright your eyes shine
I want a love that's poetic
But I'm just a hopeless romantic
Let me shove a pillow over my face
So I can scream this stress away
I'm gonna pull my hair out
I'm losing my mind today
There's this feeling in the pit of my stomach
A constant pain
Sending a shock up my spine
Driving me insane
You see, I have this problem
Where I cry until I'm sick
But don't worry about me, darling
It's just a matter of which meds to pick
I'm gonna smoke a blunt
To ease my pain and doubt
Maybe have a couple drinks
Before my demons start to shout
Just keep fighting
At least that's what they say
But the battle is hard
You can't beat it in a day
Storms Almost Over by xXProphecyUnicornXx, literature
Literature
Storms Almost Over
The nightmare persists
There's a black hole in my mind
There's blood on my fists
I'm one of a kind
It's like a wave of fear
And a hurricane of doubt
It rips apart my lungs
I can't even shout
My skin feels numb
My fingers tingle with pain
My eyes are squinting wildly
At the pounding of the rain
But when the storm is over
There will be some light
Because wherever darkness goes
A rainbow will grow bright
Some people may look at you
Saying, "Stop." or "Slow down."
Have a few drinks and take a look around
Life's not as bad as it may seem
You're struggling and have low self-esteem
But how can anyone have time to relax
When all we do is stress about the lives we want
The goals seem so far away
But you could reach them faster if you weren't relaxing
Your dreams are what keep you moving
Even when your mind, body, and soul just wants to give up
Coping is Better Done Alone by xXProphecyUnicornXx, literature

Coping is Better Done Alone
This familiar house
The familiar people
Is this really what I needed?
I feel like I'm crawling a steep hill
He asked me where I'd been
And how could I reply?
Anything I could say
I know he would just ask why
But I shouldn't have to explain
It's not something I can control
It's like I'm defending myself
So if you're my friend, then what's your goal?
Sometimes coping is something you have to do on your own
The headache continues
Yet again, another day
Can I just lay in bed?
It's where I want to stay
Depression sweeps over me
As I crawl back to my comfort zone
I may be lonely
But I love to be alone
The dizziness persists
Just when I think I'm fine
I hang my head to vomit
As I feel a tingle down my spine
I always felt like I never fit in
But that was perfectly okay
Now everything has changed
I have to take it day by day
