Knife In My Back

TW: Swearing

You are the traitor
The snake
The thief
You are the killer
The villain
The leech
You turned
My own friends
Against me
You said
That we were friends
But you
Took away
Everything
You stabbed me
When I trusted
And needed
You
The most
The knife in my back
The one that you used
Hurts
Every
Fucking
Day
I can never
Forgive you
For what you have done
Nor will I
Ever
Forget you
I hope you're happy
You left your mark
Right on my heart
Where it will stay
I want to burn
The room that you kept
Inside of this house
That I call my head
But I can't
The scar is too deep
I let you in
And now you'll stay
Damaging me
Tormenting me
Torturing me
A non-stop cycle
Of you
And your games
Your twisted lies
And your tricks
My friends who hate me
It's all cause of you
If I could change
Just one thing
I would kill you first
*boop*

Save Your Tears

Your crying
So broken
So sad
The blame's on me
But it's not my fault
Please
Don't act so innocent
Don't act like
I'm the criminal
You know it hurts me
More than it hurts you
So please
Save your tears
Don't act like the victim
I am the victim
Stop crying
You baby
Talking about how
Everything is my fault
How am I the wrong one?
Shut up!!!
SHUT UP!!!
SHUT UP!!!!
Stop crying
Everyone's looking
Everyone's whispering
Rumors flying around
Calling me
The abusive boyfriend
All I did was
Say that it's over
But now
People think
That I am
The bully here
But we both know
The truth
Maybe next time
Think
Before you sleep
With my best friend
*boop*

Can't Tell If Your Sick Or Just Dumb

TW: Mentions of sexual assault and r*pe

He was just 16
Walking through the park
His girlfriend
Had cheated
And so he had yelled
But that is OK
Cause he had an excuse
But that night
He was stabbed
By a group of boys
Hired by
The very girl
Who slept with his best friend

Now people are defending her
For her actions
Saying she was right
And he was wrong
Can't tell if your sick
Or just dumb

He was a football star
High school student
Great at the game
Eyes on the ball
But his whole career
Was ruined
By one
Single
Sexual assault
Case
Now it was proved
The one who
Claimed she was
Raped
Was lying
Just to see him
Lying in a cell

Now people are attacking him
Saying he deserved it
Saying she was right
And he was wrong
Can't tell if your sick
Or just dumb

12 year old boy
Kidnapped and raped
By a 40 something woman
Traumatized
The poor boy

Now people are defending her
For her actions
Saying she was right
And did nothing wrong
Can't tell if your sick
Or just dumb

Why is it
That these people
Who ask for
Equal rights
Turn on men
And say these things
I don't get it
If it's equality
That they want
Than why don't they give some?
*boop*

Roses

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm lying in bed
Can't stop thinkin of you
The times that we spent
Walking through parks
You've left your dent
Inside my my heart

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Beep! Beep! Beep!
The steady song
Of the monitor
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Holding your hand
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Nurses walking through the halls
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Musty smell of sickness
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Death in this building
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The white washed walls
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Blinding fluorescent lights
Beep! Beep! Beeeeeeeeeeeep!
Gone
*boop*

Grinder

Dig, dig, dig
Deep in the mines
Grinding for diamonds
Gaining XP
Grind, grind, grind
Wanting more diamonds
The joy of laying eyes
On a precious
Glowing
Diamond
Is near

Goodbye NAPO

NAPO is done
30 poems
In the box
Each beautiful
In every way
Some are sad
Like death and war
Some bring joy
Like cats and forests
Some discuss
Stronger topics
Racism
And sexism
But NAPO is over
And this thread
Will soon
Come to an end
I never thought
I could write
30 poems
In a month
But I did it
Like many others
Thank you for being
Right beside me
Throughout this journey
Thank you for your reviews
And your likes
Thank you for your motivation
Thank you for everything
To the many who helped me
Through this journey
@Euphoria8
and @Valkyria
@EditorAndPerks
and @AtlasWut
@queenshadowgem
and @ImaginativeAlice
Thank you to those
Who liked my poems
And thank you
For reading them
*boop*

Congratulations on making it to 30 poems Ches!!! And on your first NaPo? That's great! You were able to explore so many different themes throughout the month from loss, to horror, to love, death, and even nature.

I also liked that you seemed to experiment with a lot of variety to your poetic voice too - some being action-heavy, some being dialogue-heavy, and some blending the two together. Your poem with the text messages was a particularly interesting form experiment I thought, and definitely something I'd be interested in trying out some day. I think the poems describing water / beach were my favorites of the set, but you have some nice pieces in here! :)

Thanks for sharing your poetry this month and congratulations again!
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return
