It’s May, and some are just hanging on. Please check on your people. You don’t always see the storm they’re hiding. And if you’re drowning, please reach for someone. You’re not a burden. We need you here. New poems below. #poetry #blueskypoets #poems #writingcommunity #poem #poetrycommunity

This piece is about building something lasting out of what was meant to break you. It’s for the people who weren’t expected to make it, who had to find strength in silence, shame, and being overlooked.

Building on Rock Bottom
I built it from the silence no one broke,
from nights I chewed through rust instead of bread—
the floorboards where the past rose up and spoke,
the dreams I buried just to walk ahead.
I built it from the truths they wouldn’t face,
the shame sewn into my Sunday-best suit,
the hunger that became my saving grace,
the prayer I mouthed too scared to dare refute.
I built it from the wreckage of my name,
from bottle caps and broken glass and spit,
from every time they swore I’d die the same,
then watched me crawl beyond their shallow pit.
My foundation is the fall they never saw—
a kingdom born from ash, without a flaw.

This poem explores the quiet, shameful return to old patterns you thought you’d escaped. It’s about how healing isn’t linear and how even after progress, the weight of the past can still pull you back.

Relapse
I thought I’d climbed the mountain, made it through,
but somewhere deep, I slipped and lost my grip.
The air got thin and swallowed up the view,
and all the ground I gained began to slip.

I told myself I’d stay above the fight,
but dark is sneaky, creeping in like rain.
I pushed it down, I buried all the spite,
but lies don’t die—they only leave a stain.

I wish that I could tear the skin away,
shed all the things I promised I would leave.
But like a curse, it always finds its way,
and I’m the one who never learned to grieve.

So here I am again, the same damn place,
one step from falling—back into disgrace.

This piece reflects on aging, memory, and the strange fear of staying the same while the world changes. It questions what we really lose with time—and what we might still lose if we somehow escaped it.

If I Never Grow Old
If I never grow old, will the years still bleed,
like ink that fades, leaving scars on the page?
Will my body wither while my spirit takes heed,
a phantom in mirrors, locked in a cage?

Will my memories twist, like roots gone astray,
or remain sharp and clear, a thorn in the heart?
Will I love without breaking, or lose it each day,
as the world spins away, torn slowly apart?

If I never grow old, will the world still bend,
like a broken tree reaching for skies it can’t see?
Will my hands stretch to hold what I can’t defend,
or crumble to dust in a room full of me?

And when I am lost, will I know where to go—
when I never grow old, but only outgrow?

This poem is a quiet unraveling of beautiful lies. It peels back the comforting illusions we tell ourselves about the world, love, and meaning—offering something colder, but maybe closer to the truth.

So You Know
So you know, the sky’s never truly blue—
just light bent through cracks in broken glass.
The clouds are shadows, drifting through
the gaps where time forgot to pass.

So you know, the stars don’t burn with fire—
they’re empty holes in a hollow dream,
spinning in silence, caught on a wire,
waiting for something that will never gleam.

So you know, your heart doesn’t always speak—
it beats in rhythm with the lies you wear,
and truth, a whisper, soft and weak,
buried beneath the weight of stale air.

So you know: the world is cracked and wide,
and you’re still here, just barely alive.

A funny thing that's forgotten about the Malice at the Palace is that shortly before it happened, the Pacers benched Ron Artest for 2 games because he'd asked for up to a month off to recoup from promoting his album. And when he was interviewed after the brawl, he used the opportunity to promote it.

Ron Artest promoting the album he collaborated on, "Chapter III" by Allure, on the Today show

By Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest said Wednesday that he asked coach Rick Carlisle for time off because of a busy schedule that included promoting a soon-to-be released rap album, which led to his two-game benching.

Artest held a short news conference before Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and in his usual ambiguous manner, tried to explain why he was benched.

Artest said that he asked Carlisle for as much as a month off to heal his aching body and recover from a particularly busy schedule.

"My body has been aching, I was going to take some time off and I said it the wrong way," Artest said. "Everything that happened wasn't too negative. I kind of surprised the team by wanting to take some games off, just to get back together, maybe stay home for a little bit, rest a little bit and come back."

He certainly surprised Carlisle, who said Tuesday that the situation, "compromised the integrity of the team. It's a private team matter, and I'm going to leave it at that."

Goddess Nyx Nebula—a celestial ring of fire & frost, where stardust swirls in silent symphony. Golden light dances on the edge of a cosmic maelstrom, while ethereal blue wisps whisper secrets of the universe. Amid the abyss, a thousand stars shimmer—solemn witnesses to the birth & death of galaxies.

A breathtaking cosmic scene showcases a luminous, ring-shaped nebula against the vast darkness of space. The nebula radiates with a golden glow at its core, seamlessly blending into ethereal blue wisps that swirl outward like celestial smoke. Countless stars of varying sizes and brightness are scattered across the scene, some emitting cool blue light while others shimmer in warm golden hues. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the nebula’s depth, evoking the grandeur and mystery of the universe.
