So...I was pretty angsty after the ex. Also, I was extra smiley, but leary of the new guy...who is now the hubby ^_^ This is a product of said angst, smiley-ness, and leary-ness.

( Enjoy... )

This is another one that just popped up in my brain. I don't think it was inspired by anything in particular, just for funzies. I really like this one, tho ^_^

Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, in a very wretched place,
there lived a little girl with many sorrows to face;
Walking alone, sullen, confused,
seeing faces, seemingly amused.
All of them taunting, ( Read more... )

This is one of the more recent ones that I've written. I'm not even really sure why this one evolved like it did. Honestly it began because I had a little spirit at my house. I mostly heard "her" or "she" would do little mischievious things to get my attention. I got a sense of what "she" was like, but I think I only saw "her" once. And I wanted to ( Read more... )

Weak
Chills run down along my spine
I steadily anticipate my sign.
Trying to figure out where to stand
Don't know where I'm falling; just hope to land.
My thoughts are spiraling out of control
Looking for an answer deep in my soul.
I'm on a road with nowhere to go.
Yet I wonder why I feel so low.
A feeling of terror enters my heart
and I feel it only when ( Read more... )

This was written in a college chemistry class. I was working 3 jobs, going to school full time, and trying to make everything fall into place. Everything sucked and I hated everything. But my poetry was becoming an excellent outlet and thus, a poem was born! <-----cheesy ^_^

Scream
What am I feeling? What am I thinking?
Somebody tell me who I hear ( Read more... )

This is another one that just came about. I think it was loosely based on a "friend" of mine that seemed to know me quite well. Turned out he was just a manipulative jerk who paid far too much attention to detail. Ah, well, such is life. You live, you learn...

I think this one was just in general related to college. I hated college...college hated me...life sucked. Ya know, a typical college experience ^_^  But apparantly in this moment everything sucked and I wanted out. Good thing I didn't give it up and stuck it out. ^_^

Failure

Everything I want
           Everything I dream
     Nothing but a taunt

I can't remember what inspired this one. Sometimes they just come out. We all have our good and bad days; this must have been one of the bad days.

My Lament

Someone hold me
Something save me
In pain I scream
My heart is breaking
My life is fading
My mind is hating
Through a bitter sea of
Tears I'm wading
Where is the end?
Where can I send
All of my pain?

I remember sitting in college physics and writing this one. This was right before I made the decision to break up w/the ex. I had been thinking about it for a little while, as I've previously said, we were slowly but surely outgrowing each other. Thinking about it was really wearing on me and I knew I needed to do something, I just didn't know what ( Read more... )

So I know it seems like I loathe and despise this place, and I actually describe it as an entity, but this is representative of the place I go when I get pretty upset/angry, and I'm actually okay with it. In all truth, I like it, it's grown on me. Especially now since I've started my career. Did I mention I'm a medical oncology nurse? Yeah, that ( Read more... )
