....highlights the blankness
that I feel whenever I'm alone.
I'm still spiraling into
-S

A place that
means too much to me.
A life within four walls
all the same plain color
of purple--
I wish I could open
a vein and splash
a few streaks of ruby red
to spice up my life.

Blah...how bland my world is.

Just me and the little voices
in my head. The only people
that understand just how
messed up I truly am. I would laugh
but that won't bring back my
peace of mind. Won't make me
one of you again.

I'm safe inside myself
cutting away the rotten flesh that
makes me another ugly person.
One day I'll be just a skeleton
and then maybe my sanity
will return. Who knows...

maybe I was born insane.

    The presentation is very original. Though this one is not likely to be a weekly contest winner, only because it resembles a cutting poem, I can appreciate the depth of pain shared and a literal skill in delivery

    I think to an extent we're all a bit messed up and insane, that may be the one thing that makes us all human. I loved the uniqueness of this piece and the way you allowed us to enter your "messed up head" for a minute haha Great work 5/5

    This is a very deep and intense write. Your pain shows in every word. You have a long life ahead. Look for the golden ring and reach out and grab it. Happiness will find you.
