inner struggles

Air Sign Symphony

Created: April 10, 2023, 14:00 pm

 

In the center of the painting, two figures stand,
A harmony in balance, one light and one dark.
Gemini and Libra, the air and the hand.

The twins, with minds like quicksilver and sand,
Bring balance to the scales, a delicate art.
In the center of the painting, two figures stand.

The balance of justice, the swing of the pend,
Fulfills the harmony of the world, and its heart.
Gemini and Libra, the air and the hand.

The scales that measure what’s fair and what’s bland,
Are guided by the stars, a cosmic chart.
In the center of the painting, two figures stand.

Gemini, the quick wit, and Libra, the stand,
Are like yin and yang, forever a part.
Gemini and Libra, the air and the hand.

A cosmic dance, forever unplanned,
But harmony will reign, from start to depart.
In the center of the painting, two figures stand,
Gemini and Libra, the air and the hand.

Reflections of Darkness

Created: April 8, 2023

 

In the mirror’s reflection, Mixaku sees
The darkness lurking within, the evil that frees
Its taunts and smirks, a battle to fight
But Mixaku is determined to triumph and find the light

The darkness is a monster, a beast to tame
Threatening to take control, to bring only shame
But Mixaku fights with all their might
To keep the darkness at bay, and save their very soul’s plight

As the mirror shatters and the darkness fades
Mixaku stands triumphant, but still ever wary
For they know the battle may be won for now
But the war against their inner demons is never truly over, and how

With courage and determination, Mixaku vows to keep
Fighting the darkness, no matter how deep
For the monster within is a part of them
But Mixaku will keep fighting to find the light, to never condemn.

Echoes of Sorrow: The Hollow One’s Laughter

So I’m not clowning him on this one it’s just he doesn’t talk about this enough and it needs to be known. (He’ll definitely get me for this. sorry, bro I just can’t stand to see you like this any longer it’s been 7 years and it scares me to see it sometimes.

He was taught to keep his emotions in check,
To hide his feelings, to never reflect,
Tears were a sign of weakness and shame,
And so he buried them, playing the game.

He struggled to express himself freely,
His words were empty, his thoughts unruly,
His heart ached, but he could not show,
The pain that he felt, the inner woe.

He tried to be strong, to be a man,
To hold it all in, to have a plan,
But the pressure built, the burden grew,
And soon he found himself feeling askew.

And when he finally broke, the tears did flow,
But all that showed was a man with a bizarre glow,
A smile, a laugh, that seemed out of place,
A broken soul, lost in the race.

For the lessons he had learned were wrong,
And his heart had suffered for far too long,
The tears he shed were not a sign of defeat,
But a release, a freedom, a chance to be complete.

But the damage was done, and the pain remained,
A reminder of the lessons ingrained,
That emotions were to be hidden and disguised,
And that vulnerability was something to despise.

And so he wept, with a smile on his face,
A chilling reminder of his inner disgrace,
A man broken by the rules of society,
Forever lost in his melancholy.

The Perpetual Battle Within: A Soul’s Demise

Poem request by Gabs

Within my mind, a war doth rage,
As shadows cast upon life’s stage.
My thoughts like demons, they doth fight,
A battle fierce, a gruesome sight.

The swords they clash, the blood doth spill,
As good and evil war with will.
The light, it flickers, as darkness reigns,
And pain and sorrow, it doth sustain.

The voices echo, like screams of pain,
As the battle rages, with no gain.
The conscience, like a beacon bright,
Doth struggle ‘gainst the demons of the night.

But in the depths, the darkness creeps,
And the soul, it weeps, and the spirit sleeps.
The voice of reason, it fades away,
As the shadows, they take hold and sway.

A struggle fought, but never won,
The battle doth rage, till life is done.
For in this war, there is no light,
And the soul, it doth suffer in endless night.

So let the battle rage, let the darkness reign,
For there is no hope, no end to this pain.
The mind, a battlefield, a soul’s demise,
As the war within, forever lies.

Conquering the Darkness Within

Created: April 5, 2023

Looking at their reflection,
Mixaku felt a sense of perfection.
“Some people are simply better than others,”
they thought, unaware of the lurking danger.

An evil reflection appeared,
smirking and wickedly sneered.
“And you think you’re one of them, motherfucker?”
Mixaku nodded, confident like a tiger.

“I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am,
and I’m not gonna let anyone take that away,”
defiantly, Mixaku proclaimed,
but the evil reflection laughed, cruel and gray.

“You’re not as invincible as you think,
Sooner or later, you’re gonna fall, and you’re gonna fall hard,”
the wicked reflection taunted,
causing anger to Mixaku’s guard.

Mixaku’s denial became shattered,
as the evil reflection spoke of what mattered.
“You’re fucking terrified of failure,
you’ll hurt others to avoid the torture.”

Realizing the truth,
Mixaku was stricken with ruth.
The evil reflection grinned maliciously,
“You’re a fucking monster, just like me.”

Defeated, Mixaku questioned,
“What do I do now?”
The evil reflection mocked,
“Embrace the darkness within you, it’s your vow.”

But Mixaku was determined to break free,
to face the darkness within with glee.
“I can change, I can be better,”
they declared, with a heart full of fervor.

A brick was thrown towards the reflection,
in hopes of shattering the evil deception.
But the reflection caught the brick mid-air,
taunting Mixaku with a wicked glare.

Both were transported to a different place,
a realm of darkness, filled with eerie space.
The evil reflection cackled, “Welcome to my world,
I’ve been waiting for you,” with a voice that swirled.

Mixaku took a deep breath and stepped forward,
ready to fight the darkness onward.
The mirror shattered, the darkness dissipated,
and Mixaku emerged victorious, unabated.

With newfound strength and confidence,
Mixaku knew they could conquer any consequence.
The evil reflection may always be a part,
but Mixaku was no longer afraid of the darkness in their heart.

Conquering the Bleak: A Journey of Love and Hope

Poem request from Jacob

Created: April 1, 2o23

In the depths of my soul, a shadow lingers
A weight that drags me down and triggers
The memories of love lost and pain endured
And though I try to fight, I am not reassured

My heart beats with a melancholic tune
A haunting melody that plays until noon
And in the stillness of the night, I weep
As I struggle to hold on to hope and keep

The flames of passion that once burned bright
Now flicker and fade, like stars in the night
But I know that deep down, there is a spark
A glimmer of light that can pierce the dark

So I take a deep breath and try to find
The courage to leave the past behind
And as I embrace the unknown and new
I feel my spirit lifted, my heart renewed

For even in the midst of pain and strife
There is always the chance to start a new life
And though the road may be long and steep
I know that with hope, I can conquer the bleak.

Dancing with Monsters

Created: April 4, 2023, 23:42

In the fight against the monsters within,
I fear that I may lose and let them win,
For the darkness lingers and whispers in my ear,
And I struggle to keep my sanity clear.

The abyss stares back at me with empty eyes,
And I wonder if I’ll succumb to its lies,
But I must remember to keep my heart pure,
And let the light within me continue to endure.

For if I become the monster that I fight,
Then what is the point of striving for what is right?
So I must be vigilant and stay true,
To the person I am and what I must do.

And when I find myself on the edge of the abyss,
I’ll throw roses in as a symbol of bliss,
For even in the darkness, I’ll find a way to thrive,
And show gratitude to the monster who did not survive.

For the struggles we face make us stronger in the end,
And through the darkness, we learn to comprehend,
That even in the midst of our deepest despair,
There is always hope, and love, and care.

So let us fight the monsters with all our might,
And remember that we must always shine our light,
For in the end, we’ll emerge victorious and free,
And throw roses into the abyss, saying “thank you” with glee.
