disillusionment
Learn more about other poetry terms
you were my true blue soul friend
we had a bond deeper than any I had known before
we laughed and cried
we shared our secrets
i trusted you with the deepest parts of my heart
What happened to faith and honor
What happened to our morals
The fake faces are looked up to
While the great go unnoticed
The famous are counterfeit
While the praiseworthy are ignored
A mind like mine
Is endangered
Rare to find
A mastermind
Super analytical
Superior
Makes thoughts that seem mythical
Tactician of life
I carry out my dreams
Had many life goals
I.
Heavens flicker and take fire.
The Earth takes its final breath
Trembling, Stained, Defiled.
Dreams gained with certain loss
“Can I have my idiot back?”
The smell of stale beer,
The stink of stupidity;
They assault me.
“Can I have my idiot back?”
The owner looks at me,
Gestures to him,
Forgets me.
Through jaded geomancy and blurred fantasy I perceive
Shapes broad and thin, sights bright and grim,
Approaching growth to gain but with the excitement I grieve,
Have you ever woke up and felt like you were dreaming? Like you couldn't get up? You were stuck?
Day after day
Semester after semester
Year after year
I run into college freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are victims drowning in their own pool of confliction
When room lights are out, everything blurs together.
Shadows start to take form and grab squirming bodies tight.
Always dyed black, they’re never anything fun—
Like fuchsia pink blossoms,
I ignored the laughter
I ignored the blood
I ignored the screams
I ignored the pain
But when I fell
I couldn't ignore them any longer
I couldn't help but cringe
I used to write backwards because straightforward didn't rhyme right
And the talent I wasted tasted like lemon turned into lime bites
Water turned into wine might sober me up enough for this
Sometimes I feel like the destroyer
Sometimes I think that I create
A horrible whirlwind nightmare
That whisks everything away
What's more important?
To be right or wrong
