Empty

Emptiness.
What a way of living.
You zone through life,
One thing after the other.
You feel hollow inside,
And although you can still
Do the basics.
There isn't any flavor.
It is like your zest for life has been
Drained out from under your nose.
You don't know how you got there.
But your only wish is to be free from
This empty hollow prison.

Time Flies

Wow...
Time flies.
I feel like it was just yesterday
I had my fifth birthday party.
My dad created and
my mom painted me
a Mario pinata.
I wore my favorite red shirt
with Luigi and Mario on the front.
Oh, how I loved that shirt.
Wow...
Time really flies.

I got this idea from @SilverNight 's Imessage poem. This is the same idea. I didn't have the energy to put it into an actual text message though. XD

If Fire and Ice Were Friends

Fire:

I'm sorry I can come off very strong sometimes

I'll try and get better

:Ice

It's okay

I'm sorry I can be uptight sometimes

Without you

I wouldn't be able to loosen up every once in and awhile

I'd just be a hunk of ice that stayed in its tray for its whole life! XD

Fire:

You know

You're a cool friend

You keep my emotions under control

And even though I still disagree with winter being the best season

I want to get closer to you

:Ice

Thanks

I want to get closer to you too

And even though your anger can get to you sometimes

You also have a great way to spread your excitement and happiness to me

You're great!

Fire:

You are too! <3

Fly Robin

Fly little robin.
Go see the word.
And maybe someday when you return
you can tell me about your adventures.
Tell me all of the wonders you saw.
All of the different foods you ate.
All of the unique accents you heard.
And maybe someday.
I can fly too.
So fly little robin.
Fly.

Exhaustion

Eyes droopy.
Mind blank.
Why can't I get myself together?
It is like all of the creativity and
energy has been drained out of my body
Not a drop has been left for me.
I want to be productive.
Not waste valuable time.
But I can't get anything done like this.
So please creativity.
Come back to me.

Maybe

Maybe someday, I will have a purpose.
Maybe someday, I will have a reason.
But not today.
Today I lay on my worn-out couch
without a want in the world.
I stare at the cracks in the walls for hours.
I then watch a spider crawl in and out.
I close my eyes for an hour.
Though there is no chance I can sleep.
For I have done too much of that.
I think of picking up my phone.
And calling one of my friends or
some of my family.
But even if I could develop the energy,
I don't know what I would say.
I don't know what I could say.
Maybe someday, I will find an answer.
But not today.

Spoiler! :
Ooh Maple I can definitely relate to your latest poem!! To me, it perfectly captures that mood when you kinda feel like you should be doing something, but at the same time you just want to be lazy and do nothing XD And I love that detail about the narrator staring at the cracks in the walls and watching a spider crawl in and out! It really emphasizes how they’re just laying there and ~existing~
I also really liked your poem “Fly Robin,” and I think the red title captures its mood excellently!! That shade looks bold and exotic to me, which matches up with how the narrator tells the robin to go on adventures! Awesome job so far, and keep up the fantastic work!!! ^-^

Prompt provided my @AtlasWut

Worms

Earthworms,
Little kid germs.
Gummy worms
Yummy worms.

No matter
If it's flatter.
Or even a bit rounder.
(Not at all like a flounder.)
The worm will be.
Such a sight to see!

Not as profound as some of my others but I really liked this one!

Life is Like a Trail

I wonder what would've happened
if I chose a different path.
Would things be better?
Or would they be worse?
I might never know if I picked
the right decision or not.
But I am going to have to live with it.
Because life is like a path.
And sadly.
You can't go back and change your direction.

Prompt provided by the master of all things taco. @ChesTacos

Tacos

Whether the shell is
soft or crisp.
They will please anyone,
even a wisp.
I just can't figure out
the reason why.
These delicious wonders.
Fall from the sky.

Though maybe one day
the answer will come.
For now, I prefer that
They are served by my mum.
So a big thanks to Ches.
The best taco one.
For making me happy.
And let me have fun.

Should I write a poem?

Should I write a poem?
Should I take the time to
form some lines
that maybe sort of rhyme?
I'm just not sure
if I'm up for this challenge.
But if I decide to take it on.
Who knows what treasures I will find.
It is now I realize.
Time has really flown by.
And this poem is now
complete.
"Writing is a place where you can be who you are."

I Want to be Closer to You

I want to be closer to you.
I know we see each other and talk
often but it just doesn't feel like enough.
I want to set aside a special time.
For me and you to be together.
I want to feel important to you.
But I don't feel like I am.
I know you tell me I am but
I just can't kick this feeling.
This voice in my head.
They're lying.
They don't mean it.

I pound my head.
Get out!
Get out!
Stay out.

Screen

How have our lives become
so centered around this object?
Even now you stare into a screen
reading this poem I have created.
Somehow these boxes of addiction
have become the staple of our community.
What happened to writing on paper?
Or going to a theater and watching a play?
And despite all of this.
I-
I can't stop.
So I guess all we can do is hope.
Hope it will all work out.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
