Phdinpessimism - Bad Combo Of Depressed, Stubborn, & Lazy

Some old poems of mine (5):

TW: depression

Dreams:

To get away from this house.

To be myself

and get away from these shackles

that drag me down.

To be happy and love myself.

But the thing about dreams

is that they're impossible to accomplish,

and few ever succeed.

Don't know if I'm gonna flesh this out more but here's a random plot bunny.

TW: mentions of death, self-harm

She couldn’t remember him.  Couldn’t remember who he was.  Who he was to her.  His face in her memories looked like the time…the time…someone…spilled his? Her? Drink on her sketchbook.  Who was he?  Why couldn’t she remember him?  Remember his face?  His face was wrong.  Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong.  Why couldn’t she remember?

“I’m sorry —”

She couldn’t remember.  Whywhywhywhywhy?  She wants to remember.  Don’t take his memory away.  Please —!  Don’t leave her.

“I’m sorry —.  You’ve always been my —”

She wanted to remember.  Needed to remember.  Neededneededneededneededneeded.  How?  She scratched at her skull.  Scratched and scratched and scratched and scratched and scratched as if that would dig away the blurriness.  She kept scratching, knelt in the grass the soil that was left after everything was washed away.  She was stuck there like an abandoned Halloween decoration someone placed in the middle of the field forest and forgot about.  She needed to remember him.  She tried to dig the memory out of her skull until something fell.  

It was a friendship bracelet.  It was old.  Had fallen apart and been put back together again and again and again and again and again.  It was dusty.  And the colors were muted.  But there was a name on it.  Sora.  She stopped scratching and stared at the bracelet.  Repeating the name over and over and over and over and over again.

“I’m sorry Sora” 

She looked at the bone the bracelet fell from.  There were four others.  All old.  All dusty and muted and broken and put back together again carefully.  Gently.  Like they were loved.  But she wasn’t supposed to love things anymore.  Or people.  Did she have any loved people left anymore?  She looked at the names on the bracelets.  Viola, Liam, Jake, and…  She took off the one closest to where her pulse used to be and picked up the one that fell.  The one with her name.  She cradled them like they’d turn to dust at any moment like her memories almost did.  She still had loved things.  She still had loved memories.  They couldn’t take those away.  But…  She cried softly and brokenbrokenbrokenbrokenbroken and barely brought herself to whisper one word like a plea spoken like a sickly child asking if today was the day she left his side.

“I’m sorry Sora.  You’ve always been my daughter”

What did the memories matter when she lost the only people she wanted to create them with?

“I never should have let you go with them”

Some old poems of mine (7) & (8):

I was...very sleep deprived when I wrote these and wanted to try my hand at a different style. They're still wips.

Warnings: crack, incomplete

Zombie dog:

Zombie dog goes out to play.

He's hoping people don't get in his way.

He's not looking to bite anyone.

He's out to roam and have fun.

Being a zombie can be quite boring.

The humans can't play because they're busy mourning.

And when he tries to bite his favorite bouncy ball,

sometimes he loses his jaw.

There's nothing to do during the day;

the squirrels have all gone away.

It's no better at night;

people always give him such a fright.

Bat & Cat:

Bat and cat are the best of friends;

they do everything together.

Even when they have to make amends;

they're still birds of a feather.

But bat has a secret

and cat has one too.

They both do their best to keep it.

What would they do if the other one knew?

Bat is a vampire.

Cat is a werecat.

Some old poems of mine (3):

Screaming:

He won't stop screaming

I can't stop scratching

Day after day after day after day

He keeps screaming

I keep bleeding

Day after day after day after day

He still screams

I still scratch

It never ends

He never stops

It won't stop he won't stop

So my heart stops instead
