A Faded Love
Victory is not about overcoming fear and sadness and loneliness,It’s learning the part it plays in your life.It’s letting it happen and seeing it for what it is, calling it out,And by revealing it, you rob it of power.Victory is not being destroyed when an emotion comes your way.Victory is to feel the whole spectrum of feelings and not be overtaken.

Just a few random poems for no reason. Enjoy! Life The meaning is never clear; Who are we? Why are we here? To have faith (or none at all),
Katharin CrewsonPublished 6 years ago in PoetsSleeping with Headphones on in the Dark
Nothing is more stressful than wearing headphones in the dark. Every shadow enhanced. Every slide of fabric against your skin makes you jump.

The leaves are soaked by the sun. We are open. I forgot what words tasted like. What are rainbows? Are they our imagination
Olivia RosePublished 6 years ago in PoetsComplacency
Complacency is the leading cause of injury in the workplace. Cut keys too many times without using your gloves and you might get cut.
Katrell PlunkettPublished 6 years ago in PoetsThrowaway
There are 7.4 billion people in the world and 170 thousand words in the English language in regular use, this is a throwaway I am a throwaway. These words are no more significant than the arrangement of any other words just as my coming to be is no more significant than anyone else. I wasn't really born spectacular in fact I was born short but it wasn't record breaking short it was normal short which is a metaphor for this poem.

NaSadè GrayPublished 6 years ago in PoetsDon't Touch This III
(Amenamy - Jon Hopkins Remix) cutting ties and breaking chains - chains from the ground to my ankles, and to my wrists. sitting and waiting and gathering the force - balling up thunder and shoving it through my ribs into my lungs - the force to do what needs to be done. freer to the point of flying instead of floating. snatching lightning from the clouds and wearing it as a coat so I can never be mistaken for a shadow again. prickling and sparking and freer. breaths of thunder in the warmth of my own lightning.
Don't Touch This II
(I'm Ready) trying to get back into the swing of things - trying to push myself over the edge of a cliff, to fall back into an uncomfortably familiar rhythm - trying to be ready, now. ready to? to feel again, and not just pretend to. to write, and to mean it. to grasp control, and push it to its very limits without losing it, without spiraling. trying to stare at myself as a language I can learn, and then to learn it, and then to know myself, and then to reformulate what has been lost around this core of known.

rose gold in crushed velvet. silver rings in the pink light of sunset. soft lips, but soft from something not soft, like brown sugar molasses scrub or 36 hours awake on adderall.
