Never

A quick poem to fit the mood:

Bitterness creeps up
Ants crawling up my arm
Small enough to not notice
When I do I squirm
And flick it away
Bitterness can’t be
Flicked
Apathy ligers
Stagnant warm air
Stuffy souls
Suffocate
Encased death grip
Tight, colorless
Transparent to white
White to _
Gasping, not breathing
(Never) give up
Connecting the stars in the sky
The cloud covers
I can’t see them anymore
The smoke encircles my head
As I breathe it into my lungs
And cough out what hurts
Into the next
Morning
Pushing away these demons
Heavy eyelids hang low
Pain doesn’t stop
Thumping at my
Temples
Pounding a hammer into
My skull
Let us in, Let us in
I will never let you inl
They will never give up
Neither will I
I will carve those stars into my wrist
To remind me never to
Give up
Never break the perfect lines of the stars
I will not connect them anymore
Bitterness is still creeping
This time I will be ready
With a silvery blade
The blood runs thick in my veins
Warm and strong (don’t give up)
My back will never be turned on what I don’t
Trust
Trust (Trust?)
Tap. Tap. Tap on the door
Hovering spirits whisper
Above my head
Their words bleed together
Into a jolt as I step (unknowingly) off the curb
And blindly swing a punch
Hitting
Something
Hitting
Nothing
The tears pour from the sky
Never (give up)
Never.
