Random short poetry from the past couple years

[junkiedays]

I'm in a sharing mood I guess, since I don't usually show these to people.

Anyway, they're just a few short things I've written just for fun over the past couple years or so.

Obviously, some of it might only make sense to me...

First one:
"Sometimes I run away from myself,
Because I could swear I'm someone else.
Someone from a different time, a different place, and a different day.
Memories fade to a vibrant glow,
And I wonder, did I make the past up?
If I dream in black and white, there's still color somewhere.
Like a sparkle in a dark room that won't let you get away.
And if I was to wake up in a different time, and different place,
If the past was tomorrow, would it still feel the same?
Someday I'll wake up to this moment in a memory,
And I wonder, will it still feel the same?
I want to know who draws color on the black and white dreams,
If the maker would come forward, I'd ask him what it means.
But I keep traveling through this maze with a machete as my weapon,
Slicing through the obstacles, then mourning their defeat.
Someday I'll cut down a memory I never thought I'd need,
And I'll miss out on your color in the black and white dreams"


Second one:
"A fundamental need to feel has hardened our realities,
Our memories, they tricked us into stocking up on fantasies.
Our lungs will never fill to the height of their capacities,
Until we learn to breathe a little deeper every day."

Last one:
"Like an injection of cocaine
Directly to the brain
With a cocktail of pills
Dosed high to give you thrills
Just enough hallucination
To remove the body from the mind
To send tingles down your spine
But you'll never hit the ground
And you'll never come down
'Cause it's a person that you've found
Flesh and bone
Skin and heart
A work of art
The perfect drug"


That's it. Not really looking for editing or constructive criticism or anything so much. They aren't meant to be anything more than random thoughts that I felt the need to record, or something like that.


Anyway.

I'm fucked up.

Peace out.

thats got a nice flow to it, u should try writing a song or something (since i like rap i was just thinking how that could work with a good beat). but do it when ur high one day. i know i love to rap when im high because to me it is a form of poetry, when i rap its self expression, just like when i write poems, or paint or sculpt. love to do all that high

The first one really reminded me of Fight Club.
