Poetry you must read and comment On?

hello, thank you very much for reading my poetry. these are all some years old, so though I still am troubled in some ways, I have grown and progressed a lot too.. I haven't written as much in recent times as I used to, but I will post some of my newer poetry eventually as well

most of my poems rhyme throughout the entire thing, but a couple as these first two don't

gray tears

restless in bed

the pillow told me it wasn't him

he said it's your head girl

that's so fluffy

floating away

I don't blame it a bit

I would try to escape too

in over my head

under pressure

cooked but barely medium rare

slice into me

hope my silent screaming doesn't startle you

don't be scared

I only harm myself

I wouldn’t do that if I were you

Your diagnosis is your solace is a fallacy,

a unicorn and flying flamingo fantasy

more absent than you thought,

you thought anyway.

That wasn't That.

deaf and dumb and blind you say

I almost hear you

if I could.. just.. get... a.. little... closer........

can't seem to see reality

like it isn't in the cards for me

must tip-toe round these parts

because she Never finishes what she starts

lost in a language native to no one

no description

hurry little girl, and hide from the Sun...

Statutory Instability

My head is swimming

my heart is racing

unprepared, for what I'm facing

I stop breathing

and start crying

back to the first line

I was lying

my head's not swimming

it's actually drowning

one of the causes

of my constant frowning

Rubber Ducky, You're The One

I tried to make a bubble bath

but it didn't work

so I just laid in lukewarm water

until it barely hurt

I have more sorrow than tears,

more failure than years

wishing everything

would just disappear

hearing the song and my thoughts

a million decibels deep

If I don't do something soon....

the stakes are steep

the comfort I fail to appreciate

the distraction of my despair won't dissipate

why do I feel this way

why do I hate?

perhaps I learned it too late

but somehow I still have faith

or is that just another escape

If I could just drown here

in my pathetic bath

with my Jewel CD skipping the fifth track

oh God how I know it could be worse

but I can't quench my thirst

or turn off that stupid part in my brain

that won't shut the **** up again

then of course my pen falls

in my quaint watery grave

and I start to shiver

worries flood my mind

and these stupid things make me quiver

no matter how hard I don't try

I can't seem to deliver

I wonder..

hypothermia or water inhalation

just end my unwarranted devastation

(I really was taking a bath lol)

sucktastic palabras

back to what I did before

the dirty loser I was

all the alleged pathetic lore

and this is why because

a state of stale stupidity

looking back I shouldn't be

but it really bothers me

how my words make sense

and my ignorance

forms them too easily

I have many more but I suppose that is more than enough for now.. I just kind of wanted to establish the self-debasing trend

Update:

aww sorry guys, I will post them one at a time from now on, thank you, I didn't realize how important it was

thank you for the comments and advice.

hmm well I kind of thought my writing changed for the worse, not really sure, seemed to be more shallow or simplistic tho, I even wrote a poem about how it changed lol.. I'll post that here for the heck of it

ah well there's two of them, forgive me one last time lol

almost entertaining

I feel like I've said all the words that I could

it makes me sad cuz damn they were good

now I'm mute as I always never intended to be

nothing left to do except I always thought to flee

my sadness is sicker

a lot less thicker

but at least before I wasn't nauseating

my failure these days is ego deflating

I almost don't care

I'd say it's not fair

but I've done it before

and now it's a bore

annoyed at me and my inability

I did it once didn't you see

or eighteen times

if you read my rhymes

you'd feel what

Update 2:

My thoughts trouble me perhaps more than ever

when I try to record them I'm no longer clever

I sit here and stare

far up in the air

and what I have in store

is just a bore

the words just escape me

when too oft they rape me

I look to the left and find no inspiration

I feel so bereft there's no consolation

so far and lost is my concentration

feeding off of my deprivation

perhaps the reason is aplenty

why my scribings turn up empty

    You'd probably get more of a reponse to just one poem at at time. What are you writing now? How has your work changed? What poets do you read?

    it has been said and I will add my voice, one poem at a time, no matter how short it is not good to post them together as I only address one at a time.

    a writer goes through phases, I would like to see something current.

    When I scroll down I see the tails/beginnings of the other poems and my eye goes sporadic and can't focus on just one so you have to post them separately okay?

    There's an inner beauty about you I can't quite put my finger on.

    But yeah you really need to post one at a time.
