Insecurities
by Author Reinvented
What is wrong with me?
I'm insane
Coming home every day
I can't seem to let things go
Everything that bothers me
Never seems to leave
I'm depressed
Can't seem to forget
Swirling around in my head
Every regret

Standing in place
by Author Reinvented
Standing in place,
My surroundings keep changing.
Never have expectations,
But always, I'm waiting
Someday'll come a day

My Belly Button
by Brady Stewart
Silly is the word for your signals
[The laugh is an impermissible one]
From my tummy to your ears
From your ears to your eyes and,
From your eyes to your nose,
Sense me? Impermissible:
I breathe my stomach,
You do not breathe but see me,
You silly sensory sensor
My organization of organs

Spew I do,
Spill I will.

how to write
sad things

Palatable unpalatability
by Tobias Winters
Are my thoughts too loud,
Does the breeze of my breath graze your skin in the heat of summer?
And my hands cling too tightly that your palms sweat,
And you count the seconds until I notice?
Do my words come out staggered and awkward-
Far apart and yet too close,
And do I linger far too long for hands held too stiff for an applause? [one that won’t occur]
Do you like me kinder, sweeter and quiet?
Am I preferred to lie in the heat of battle,

Hollow
by Aurel Mirashi
Who's this man in the mirror,
I have seen him, don't know him.
He is hostile, he doesn't like me,
Never believes a word I say,
I don't either,
Sometimes he cries tenderly,
I don't want to join him.
He will never like me,
It's not worth even trying.
Endless life
by Jen K
Sorrow fills my heart like a barrel of lead
Regret drowns my spirit like a vengeful foe
Guilt gnaws my peace like a beast starved
Fear rises from my gut like a bubbling volcano
Pain clouds my sight and snatches my breath
I run - Despair lingers and hovers at every turn
An occasional burst of light - A flash - An image evades my grasp
Pain cripples my bones - And it's dark again
Anxiety, Hyperventilation
by Nad Sof
"Panic attack," they say.
Is this it?
I whisper, my voice shaking.
I know it’s just in my head,
Everything’s fine.
But then, my heart races—
A drum I can’t outrun.
I flee to the bathroom,
Lock myself in a stall,
