Moth Jar Poems

Independent poetry. All things written are my own. Express yourself. Let your voice be heard. Follows #vss365. I am not actually moths

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

A single moth will fly towards a #lamp in its pursuit of light.
A jar full of moths will fly towards a lamp but will not get farther than the jar, so they give up.

Being trapped or confined stems your passion, your motivation, your creativity.

Break free from the jar

Hello my #dear
You've made it so clear
It's what I fear
That the end is near

#vss365

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

Am I still myself
Or am I just a shell
Am I getting better
Or am I in hell

Can I show #affection
Or can I just show hate
Can I start to heal
Or is it too late

Am I still myself
Or am I just a ghost
Can I forget the pain
When I need to the most

A fair share of fights
And many restless nights
Overwhelmed by #delights
And reaching new heights

Soon departing this flight
With a whole novel to write
The light shining so bright
Even with the end in sight

I wanted to say hello
I think you're a fine fellow
I hear you play the cello?
It sounded very #mellow

Teach me how to bestow
That large winded crossbow
Please you must go slow
I only know the oboe

I lost my #innocence
Somewhere back it time
I'd like it back now
If I could rewind

Not it's forgotten
A relic of the past
A dark, twisted soul
I hope it won't last

I'm looking for my innocence
Or at least what remains
I'll hold it tight this time
Until I lose it again

I get in my spaceship
I fly into space
I soar through the galaxy
At an incredible pace

I fly in a #wormhole
Anxious for the other side
My heart begins racing
I just enjoy the ride

It spits me back out
Right where I started
My greatest adventure
But I never departed

I go against the flow
I am a #contrarian
When you stop I go
I am a barbarian

I want to stand out
No one group I marry in
I want to scream and shout
And upset the librarian

It's lonely way out here
No one else to bury in
I'll try another gear
And stop being a contrarian

I'm far from the #speaker
And I cannot hear it
I inch my way closer
Until I am near it

The sound is so loud
But I just hear silence
There's a symphony of notes
But I hear no violence

I turn up the speaker
Til it's up to the max
I take a step back
And I hear it at last

#vss365

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

I once was #someone
Or maybe something
And now I'm no one
Or maybe nothing

I once was strong
Or maybe brave
Now I don't belong
Except in a cave

I once was someone
I once have a dam
I once was someone
Or maybe I still am

I put up my #defense
I'm ready at the gate
I'm ready for whatever
Until it is too late

I have a solid plan
I know it won't fail
I stay put right here
Until it's time to bail

I guard the precious jewel
I watch til the end
I'm ready for whatever
Except what I defend

@coakboy Thank you 😊

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

I feel it coming
It's growing clearer
As I wait here
It gets nearer

I can't avoid it
It's almost here
I hope it's not
All that I fear

It has arrived
It overtakes me
It picks me up
It nearly breaks me

It starts to leave
It #dissolves away
As I wait here
For another day

@iamwitwicky Well said! Thank you for the read

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

@McVurg Thank you 😊

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

The wheels are set in motion
Under my endless #devotion
I'd better drink think potion
Before I'm lost in the ocean

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

Say no to the flow
The controlled stop and the go
Being way too thorough
No creativity to show

Say #yes to the mess
No facts just a guess
A chaotic small rest
Give in to the randomness

#vss365

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

Sometimes I listen
But I don't hear
Goes past my brain
And out my ear
I found the switch
To make it clear
I will keep that sound
As a #souvenir

I'm at the helm of my own life
But #overwhelmed with all the strife
I'm in charge of this sinking ship
Down it goes drip by drip

[Moth Jar Poems @MothJarPoems]

My clothes always looked #tacky
My taste was always lacking
Yet when I started packing
I always would come back-y
