Poem: Embrace the Cold

I walked in the rain

Feeling reborn

Fresh out the womb

Into the cold

There was no one else

I was alone

Sad at the bleak misery

Everything was again gray

A melancholy world

And you know what I thought

I thought “this is fine”



I was fine with the loneliness

I embraced the solitude

Where others craved happiness

I knew I wanted sad

Life is about balance

And I’m close to finding mine



Wrap me in melancholy

Numb my emotions

I wanna feel down

I’m gonna be chill

Life is real

Real sad (haha)

There’s more to be sure

But I’m fine in the gray rain



*Note: I think with a little more editing this might be one of my faves.

Poem: I'll miss absurd solitude

Black Bleakness

Gentle Meekness

Combined with a fierce sense of self

Together a paradox

Yet no conflict is born

Internal or otherwise

Only my own agenda is in play

No other voices to silence

Or give in to

No pressure

Unless I want it

My machine turns

There is warmth with others

Abstract love, fun, and memories

But there is peace here

Though my thoughts can be chaotic

They are familiar

No cigarettes but I have music

And a pen & paper

Even without

I'm not lonely...
