Michael Poston

this heat
this hot stink
everyone gives looks
everyone staring
...

The faintest visible person to your eye.
Brightness is subjective because of the psychology
of your perception.
I want to be like Sirius, the brightest star
...

Fallen
cant get up
and I realize
there will be another day
...

Swept away easily,
pawns under control.
You are not to speak that way.
Say what what way?
...

Treasures I thought were mine,
I was hoping i was the only one who saw them.
My hunger for only the finest,
only the purest is hidden.
...

Striving to become stronger
even as the days grow longer.
Battle with rivals,
support and help friends for survival.
...

Sunshine penetrates my skull,
where can i hide from these digging rays?
The pain speaks through the heated energy
to slowly pierce my brain in order to warn me.
...

How do you replace something you liked broken?
when you love someone so deeply for their faults.
No one else could understand
but understanding is only of the heart.
...

Is anything louder than complete silence?
No, a mind in silence is louder than anything.
How far will you go to get to nowhere?
For me nowhere, nowhere is back to self.
...

What do you see in a dirty puddle,
can you make out the beautiful reflection?
Most people would just look right through to the mud,
but I'm heartsick with seeing more than whats there.
...

There once was a time
in a world of whence I came,
It seems like centuries ago,
that I actually lived.
...

You always talk about the future
but the future is never here
because its always the present
and the present is full of fear.
...

I feel my heart ice over
but not slowly.
The biggest comeback ever,
thats what is needed if there is a way.
...

Lost, until i search my memories
what was clouded and painful before
has been replaced with bliss
i gaze at them with fondness like pictures.
...

Thoughts way heavy on my heart.
I think about the way people lived
before me, after me.
Sorrow floods over me for missing out.
...

Redefine hope?

Its anticipating a touch such as yours.
...

Woke up crying
went to sleep crying.
How painful the days events are
that nothing you do changes anything.
...

Its easier to push someone down
then to pull them up.

I feel disconnected from the world,
...

When I come off you it's like a drug
At first I'm a sweaty mess
the aftermath leaves me wondering
will I go crazy when I wake up?
...

Fearful of the past
worried about the present
fearful of the future
Running on loop like a tape
...
