I wrote this poem-scrap a long time ago. It represents who I used to be. I can barely remember that person now.

the same as ever, she stalks through life

a pretence of company

a reality of untrusting solitude

her life

is

a volatile mess

what is the point of hope?

it never works out that way.

Hope is important. Without hope there is no living, no life.

Smile at someone, laugh with someone else. Enjoy life to the max. These things all sound so terribly overused, oversaid, dry, meaningless, do they not...? Don't take them as such. Believe them.

Live.


1. My Last Goodbye reviews
Written in May. (Was that that long ago) I still find this poem highly disturbing... and yes, the last part refers to the fictionpress people with their reviews and support, last year, the ones of you who still remain to read this. Is as title. Except obv

2. equation reviews
Written a few months ago. Unlike a lot of my other stuff, this isn't really centred around the angsty madness of last year. It's centred around the illness that provoked... the events of last year. I guess a lot of it's subtle and glossed over... but; thi

3. The Joyous Loss Of Remembrance reviews

4. Ripped » reviews
A poem in 4 parts - my most recent work... written today. I just wrote, and some of it's maybe not that good, but that's why I kept writing... the last part's like the summary, dismayed... I'm not glad of the angst. R&R please...

5. fictionpress reviews
I was thinking of fictionpress when i wrote this. I guess this is really my experiences, my take on it. I like to think it's insightful. It's certainly different to what you might think.

6. A Dream Of Normality reviews
I know it's not really like my other stuff... but my poetry reflects me, so if I crack, my poetry will drift and jar. It's layered, and probably confusing. But, even so...

A sort-of sequel to 'Fifteen'. It's drifting, and... I haven't written poetry for such a long time. But I wrote this. ...

This isn't really about the exam. It's thoughts of mine, I just sat down and wrote 'em. This doesn't express my feelings as well as I wanted. I havn't updated for ages, ne?

Me thinking about my life 'since February'. I was feeling down because it hasn't really been brilliant so I wrote a poem about it... as usual.

I wrote this the night before I wrote 'Nightmare Terror', but only just typed it up . More of my angsty writings about darkness, and needing to escape... more true feelings & emotions...

14. Nightmare Terror reviews
As title. Under Horror because.. well, it goes briefly over a few of my more... horrifying nightmares. I wrote this coz my parents are trying to force me to go to sleep at a normal time, and I don't like having much sleep coz of.. as described in poem.

15. What Is The Point reviews
I wrote this poem over a month ago but am going to put it up even so because it still represents how I feel about my situation. Most people will not know what I'm going on about but... yes. More of the dp/dr also.

16. Spiralling reviews
The end of this poem is very abrupt, but it is how I felt at the time and place of writing, which was sometime past midnight, sitting in my open window in the night.

17. Pointless Trying reviews
This is a mix of ideas and feelings of mine, woven into a poem. I was semi-depersonalised at the time of writing, which explains some of the odder ideas. It was also written very late (or early). But I don't think it's bad, even so.

18. Behind Closed Lids reviews
This has some of the same ideas as in 'Keeping Me Sane', about not facing reality. Ideas about staying in darkness...

19. Façade reviews
Just an idea of mine. This was inspired by a brief drawing I did of an ornate house FRONT only- a facade- with flames shooting out from behind. (read the poem and understand.)

I have depersonalisation/derealisation and this poem was written in the midst of one of the times it was happening... handy hint: DON'T have dp/dr. It makes your life complete hell. (dp is caused by anxiety, so, therefore, don't be anxious.)

Well... another angsty, confused poem. I wrote this one in the day but had the overall idea sometime in the early morning. It's basically a lot of (somewhat disturbing) ideas of mine about... death.

I haven't got a clue what this one is about! I was in a random, angry, angst, depressing mood when I wrote it. Rating for content and swearing. Note that I was in a random mood: some of it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
