SunshineA Poem by IndieBearSpoken word
The sun shines.
In todays blue sky. "Come out and play" he says , "come out and play." I lay inside my comfort zone which - just to say- is four black walls. Everyday he says this , Everyday i stay. Stay here where the air is stale and the bed is stained , From the countless nose bleeds i have given to myself, Banging my head against brick walls as if i banged for long enough the answers would be revealed. They never are. An addiction swims through my veins , Poisoning hope , love and emotion Stinging decency , biting beauty, Every day injecting deadly venom that is my depression deep into my wounds. So that my scars'll never heal , Picking cuts as if they were flowers ... Cutting skin .. Just like paper. I havent eaten in days.. My stomach screams , But i have heard screams more shattering , So i ignore its melancholy pleas. I do not deserve happiness. I do not deserve peace. I have Sinned sins more sinuous than the devil himself. The devil is my best friend. He comes here every night , And tells me what to do. Sanity reads normallity Normallity reads sanity. F**k sanity. Sanity is just another lie. A merciless trapdoor awaiting to be discovered. ------------------------------- The sun shines. In todays blue sky. "Come out and play" he says , "come out and play." Everyday goes the same - Same boy Same voice. Same thoughts. ------------------------------- i lay still . Breathing slowly . As quietly as possible. I check the time on my alarm. 9:42 . He is late. This throws me for an unknown reason. I wait an hour. Then two. Then three. Hes not coming. A single tear runs down my cheek. I check my pulse. Concentrating . On. The. Steady. Paced. Beating. Of. My. Poisoned. Unable. Heart. . . . My. Blood. Toxic - so toxic. Suddenly i want to get it all out of me , Every last disgusting drop. I reach for the scissors. The razor. The knife. Anything i can find. My palms burn and sweat seeps from the creases in my body. I grab the plastic handle of the carving knife and dig deep into my thighs , A thigh turns to two , A stomach , a chest , Two wrists , A neck , Soon im cutting every inch of my disgusting obese body to shreds , Wishing the blood to be gone. ---------------------------------- The soft lullaby of a soft woman creeps up into my body , Causing a worrying calm to over take me , Onto my outsodes , into my insides. I can feel volcanoes errupting , Earthquakes trembling , Tsunamis crashing , Hurricanes Typoons Rain Rain Torrential rain. And then a drought. Dry. Dry. Dry. I open my mouth to scream and when no sound comes out. I think maybe its coz i arent trying hard enough , Hard enough to breathe. And maybe i should be trying. Trying to breathe. Trying to eat without counting calories , Touch things without thinking "germs" , Talk without worrying what to say, An abundance of positive thoughts conquer negativity. And im alive again. Its like ive being re-born. I want to get up and kiss everybody and thank them for my life. But i cant. Because im hooked up to this machine that buzzes and beeps everytime my heart leaps. So i lay still and i smile. And i appreciate these new eyes i have being blessed with. I appreciate all that has existed and is still - to this day- existing. Headfirst. I. Fall. In. To. Love. Fall so deep in love...ill never be able to climb back out. Thankful , i drift back off to sleep And i dream of being someone. I dream of beauty. And its the best dream ive had in my life. And now its my reality. © 2018 IndieBearAuthor's Note
