Me (A-S)



Anger

A fire kindled with
Suffering directed that
Flows when you feel hurt

Broken

Fractured heart with a
Shattered soul and a fragment
Of a mind once whole

Confined

A prison full of
regrets and wishful thinking
Chains made of mistakes

Destroy

A bomb in my heart
Slowly ticking towards zero
A clock counting down

Enter

The mind has a door
It has no knob and no lock
Yet we are still trapped

Faces

The mask that one wears
Changes over and over
What it hides does not

Glean

Hold on to your dreams
Lest they end up coming true
your nightmares more so

Help

Comes not in a box
It is not in a bottle
It lies in music

Island

Stranded on this shard
Of a broken mind once whole
In a sea of doubts

Join

Me as I wander
A quest to find the answer
To my great question

Keep
Your sanity in
Mind when traversing my thoughts
And see my soul here

Linked

Like a chain in my
Heart connected with a weight
This weight is my mind

Mixed

Up in my mind are
The fragments of who I am
That I hope to find

Nothing

Left of me but all
Of the broken ideas
And the depression

Open

My heart and my mind
To tune in to who I am
And why I am here

Peal

Away all of the
Others and gather all of
My soul and find me

Question

Of great importance
On my mind is as simple
As why am I here

Remnants

Of who I am that
Are buried somewhere in my
soul and In my mind

Sew

My dead heart into
A tapestry of my life
And look in my mind

About this poem

Another poem written around 8th grade, when I decided it was a good idea to try and write a haiku for every letter of the alphabet. Clearly, I did not finish. As always, try not to cut yourself on this edge.
