This. Also, I haven't written any in about a year.

Have you got any of your old stuff, at least? Just share it.
C'mon, people. ._.

I’m hanging out with insects
They are all spindly and crackly
Joints and shells and pincers and feelers and antennae
Creeping and marching and charging and territorial
Their eyes have a thousand eyes
And they only stare at me
Seeing me a thousand times
Seeing me like I cannot see myself
Seeing between the borders of their vision fields
The expansive cracks in my person
The cracks that look like creases and lines and planes
But really behind them hide caverns
Caverns of tangible blackness
I’m hanging out with insects

There's this jealousy bleeding from my veins
every day it covers the compartment of this train
Falling drop by drop like a crimson rain
Drowning those I love in my despair and pain.
Lol I wrote that in the last minute.

I'd have to dig around for it. I had a poem published in some American High School poetry book back when I was 16. May take ages.

Yay, people posted their stuff. :3

Thanks for digging around for it. :]
And there were no kites tickling the sky
or curiously moulded children
dipping toes into the lake's breasted width
feeding abandoned swans,
paddling with dads.
And I forgot my picnic basket again
and to tie my hair in a sugar bun
in order to intrigue
the bumblebees.
I stroked the grass in false appreciation
of life as now.
Smelt the temperature of kisses,
blew the drift of ripples that sang higher and flatter
than my own whistles
at the forgetful park gardener
who littered
as he picked
and fiddled,
with his tidy belt.
Flowers were proud
and wouldn't stop telling me
about the curse of being beautiful.
'I don't know,' I nodded, a lie
'but hell is a very real place
for charmed eyes and diamond shaped lips,'
the flesh of fruit slipped from its mother tree
and landed on the earth
wetting the soil
with a splash of pink
and the batter of opportunists
I stood corrected.
The truth was,
I captured the earth years ago,
caught it hard like a baseball
as it flew through bright lights
and flag-wearing crowds,
hid it in my pocket
and told it,
'You're too pretty,
I don't want them to see you'.
The flowers nodded and I bit the red of apple
and the gardener waded the ponds
to save a drowning goddess.
He will fall in love with her for sure.
[I apologize for text-wall. ._.]

Ahh, nice. It's not bad. Not bad at all. :3
[I still say it's harsh, though. Heh.]

Shakin' some rust off I'm gonna write this fairly stream of concious like, so don't be harsh.
Wind whispers thoughts of freedom,
leaves respond restlessly.
Ancient branches shade summer's advance
the last bastion of green standing ground against the wilting heat.
The sky is painted in hues of amber and rose
a bird cries out for love unknown.
Under this oak I sit dying slowly
leaving life spent missing the point.
At last it settles after years of rattling
the things we expect are the best to have known.

Thanks! Maybe I ought to start writing more. I just am terribly hard on myself so I have a hard time reading my own work without ripping it up and rage quitting.

Most people do that, don't worry. :]
Just refrain from destroying it, haha. Leave it alone for a few weeks, or however long, and then look at it again.

Have a great day
I hope you get fucked.
