And Because I Am Lucky

Because sometimes the words don’t seem to flow

Because there are good days and bad days

Because I want to smile, and then I don’t

Because the sky looks more beautiful some days than others

And when the words don’t flow, I shouldn’t force them to

And gratefulness should be my daily bread, even when it’s bad

And a simple smile can change the world

And the sky admires our beauty from far above

Every single day is a blessing

The light is so blinding

Colors are vibrating

I am so lucky, I am so lucky...

Write a story or poem about madness.
Most of us have nearly gone mad at some point, write something about madness, whether it be about a friends madness, about madness in general, or your own.

More

Insane

No self-control of the brain

Rationality is chained

Voices in my head

Telling me to not fret

Saying they now lead the way

Did you say cereal?

Cereal killer?

Oh, serial killer

Sounds like a thriller

It’s okay

I just want to play

No need to be shy

Do you like my shiny knife?

It definitely likes you

It will be in you soon

I’m no loon

Just a shy boy

Who dances of joy

When he sees all the blood

A red flash flood

On wooden floors

My mentors are now quiet

No more riot

But now I want more...

More gore, more gore

Stillness

Midnight blue

Naked icy shoulders

Answers are due

Colors look colder

Thoughts cut through

Breaths get sharper

Darkness approached me

Can you help me find the answer?

Home

When I close my eyes and think of you I smile

Colors look more vibrant than ever

My heart overflows with love like never before

We have always been so far, but yet so close

Our souls always wanting to be together

I swear you make me better

You are the safest place I know

The lovliest eyes I have ever seen

The most reassuring words I have ever heard

The sweetest lips I haver ever touched

The most fulfilling aura I have ever felt

And the freshest air I have ever inhaled

We will never go wrong

It's been you all along

My home

Fear

Sedentary humanity

Sedated by fear

Your feet melting into the asphalt

Eating you inside out

Hollow humans

Fear will make you slowly dissapear

Overthinking

Useless, isn’t it?

All you do is think and think

All the thoughts feel like torture

They eat you away

You feel like you’re going insane

Drowning in a cup of water has never felt worse

Solutions are no where to be found

The end does not seem near

The eternal fight between good and bad

“Stay positive, don’t let yourself be consumed”

It will be over soon

Hey Beautiful

Those ghosts from the past are only plain white sheets.

Love yourself more than anything else.

Whatever you give, you receive.

Absolutely everything happens for a reason; you might not understand yet, but eventually you will.

Let go of any toxic relationship; your gut feeling already told you you should.

Knowledge is key.

Don’t let advice travel through one year and out the other, let some sink in.

Everything is going to be okay.

Don’t be afraid to let yourself just be; be whoever you want to be.

Dance in front of the mirror.

Sing out loud.

Do your hair, do your makeup; or don’t do your hair, don’t do your makeup; or do your hair and don’t do your makeup.

Labels can’t tell you who you are.

Remember everything in excess is bad.

Life is beautiful, and so are you.
