"Breathing Like the Drowning Man" - A poetic attempt at channeling the unbearable weight of perpetual self-hatred.

 I don't have much to say. At least for now. All I know is that I'm not sure about this poem, I'm not sure if it even came close to what I planned to write about, or if it came close to articulating how I feel and how I've felt. I don't actually want to drown, that would be an awful way to go. But I constantly feel an immutable pull to sink into a totally silent, oppressively dark, weighted oblivion that saps the oxygen from my lungs, the thoughts from my brain, the blood from my veins, and cradles me into a welcoming pit of nonexistence.  Drowned Slow-motion convulsions A despondent, resonating drone Dwelling beside a whale carcass’s masticated face, Tar-like eels slither  In and out of gasping wounds Domineering isolation A chasm of consuming hollowness In the lightless, weighted depths of The necrotic ocean  Of run-off hospital waste I’m sinking to the bottom of Anchored by the many knives lining my back Cascading legions of vestigial organs, Harvested from feral

Old Poem Found About Birth + A Nonsense Confessional About Nothing Important At All

          I don’t do well in warm weather. I don’t do well in excessive sunshine. I don’t do well being exposed to the outside world for too long of a time during any time of the year, really. But it is especially difficult during the arduous and disgusting months of late spring and summer. Months where I have to ditch the long sleeves, jackets, etc. and have more of my loathsome, uncanny, discolored flesh be exposed. What makes it even more horrifying is lacking the comfort of covering the scars that run vertically down my upper arm, tragically right below where the sleeves of any of the short-sleeved shirts I own ends. Some horizontal cuts further up my arm can be seen on occasion, (one recently just scabbed and reopened, so even though it has been a while since I’ve cut it looks like there’s a fresh one right there for the world to see), but luckily most people are utterly oblivious and trapped in their own tiny egotistical skulls to the point where they wouldn’t ever notice these

Unsuccesfully Coping with the Nonsense of Existence

 It has, YET AGAIN, been too long since I've managed to write anything at all. This one just sort of happened; like a car running over a tiny animal that seemed to have suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. I'm much too tired to explain anything or say anything relating to my current mental state. This poem is a mess, it's terrible, it's nonsensical, it is like all of the rest. Make of it what you will, because I haven't a clue. That is all. I hope I can sleep and stay asleep forevermore.  Kalte Sternenkinder Murder of angels Rearranged and mutilated Planetary surgical clamps  Spreading open the chaotic center, Unspooling celestial flesh  Cascading down  Amniotic staircases  Stretching out through the necrotic wounds  Scabbed over in space, Through the threshold of once silent, Primordial nonexistence, Boiling and bulging with hideous new pregnancies  From the molested, defiled cracks  Lining the unfathomable depths  Of the anemic ocean floor. Something pale
