Not the End
Seemingly fixated on darkness and fear, the most terrifying thing, Drawing conclusions like an open-ending horror movie scene, Rejecting the fantasy of living in solitude and contentment, Disconnecting from joy, unhealthy thoughts becoming relentless, Reprogramming my mind, redirecting my purpose in this life, Breaking down the harsh, cold barriers of negativity and sadness, Surrounding myself…

Pure Confidence
I tell myself, do not fear, Pushing myself to persevere, To be successful in this life, It takes courage and sacrifice, I will continue to follow my dreams, My contentment sets my mind free, I won’t give up until I reach my goals, Gaining knowledge to better myself as a whole, Striving for the best…

Understandable Outrage
What’s wrong? Nothing, I’m chillin’. Are you okay? I’m fine. How can I help? Thanks, I got it. Are you sure? Yep, I’m cool. Want to talk about it? Nope, I’ll figure it out. You look upset, can I help? Ignore me, I have a natural RBF. Is there anything I can do to make…

Beast Within
Her heart is beating, pounding like a drum, Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, Her mind is racing, thinking “what’s happening?” Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, Her body feels numb, she can’t move a muscle, Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, Her eyes open wide as they fall upon her beastly hands, Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, BOOM-BOOM! ~BlacRoseRed~ Illustration…

Darkness in the Light
I woke up this morning feeling dreadful and sad, Don’t even have the strength to get out of bed. Yeah, it’s that bad, My dog stares at me as if to say, “You know you’ve got responsibilities, um, like me.” Of course, I agreed and fed him, then took him out, moist air we breathe,…

Sometimes…
Sometimes I feel worhless, Sometimes I feel used, Sometimes I feel numb, Sometime I feel useless, Sometime I feel alone, Sometimes I feel miserable, Sometimes I feel neglected, Sometimes I feel enabled, Sometimes I feel misunderstood, Sometimes I feel unappreciated, Sometimes I feel troubled, Sometimes I feel forgotten. ~BlacRoseRed~ Photo courtesy of WordPress Sometimes the…

Serenity in the Air
“When I step outside to inhale the brisk, clean air, Hoping for a calm and peaceful day only seems fair, Don’t even bother to acknowledge me, Stay far away, like way over there, please?” ~Poem by BlacRoseRed~ This poem describes how sometimes I just like to have peace from the drama, chaos, blank stares, sadness,…

The Noise
I had a coworker with the most sensitive hearing. Their attention span was short due to the tiniest interception of a needle dropping to the floor. At first, it was funny, then gradually became annoying. They described the most detailed, descriptive vocabulary about each sound they heard. Most of what I remember is the question…

Hiss of a Scorpion
Scorpions do not let loose your deadly bite on those who choose not to embrace hatred and malicious intent in their heart, Devilish, conniving, open mouth laughter befouls the common air creating a stench of unbearable rot and reek of Hell’s everlasting burning flesh, Evil has no name as that would introduce power and meaning,…
