I do not care if you don't like it, but tell me why, if you like it tell me why
Deceit

People cut themselves all the time
They think each cut is its own injury
But they are really just ripping open the lifetime wound
It breaks the surface
Blood pours out
People see the real you
Nothing
Shriveled and lifeless
You lose consciousness
And you die alone
The veil of torn deceit draining your life
And putting it back from where it came

Resonance

The words echo on my mind
They empty it of all else
The message hits hard
Ripples emanate
It is not mellow
But an emptiness which echoes itself
Which echoes the silence of poetic thought

Tranquility

A falsified lifetime sensation
When that which is not possible becomes possible
But only for a second
Our lives are filled with turmoil
What we seek is death
What we fear is death
Something we hold dearly but fear
Something we seek to prevent
To prolong the stress

Explanations

Deceit
This poem references the concept that when you lie, a part of you dies, both losing consciousness and dyeing alone are metaphorical and occasionally literal, I am providing this info as most of my friends don't understand the title, this is highly metaphorical, and would be over my head if I had not written it, please understand that this message is not to be condescending.

Resonance, based on a property of poetry I call resonance, I would call this a blue room emotion, blue room is a concept which I use to create poetry, essentially it is the concept of envisioning an empty room, infinitely expanding horizontally which has a perfect circle pond in it, this pond reflects the shades of ultramarine in the room, after creating this mental picture I ponder the emotions associated with such a room, for a green room, change the color to lime green, etc. I know this sound more than a little crazy but this is how I did my last two poems in this list, and I am employing the tactic more as I write.

Tranquility, yes, this is a goth being condescending of themselves and others to put it simply, a blue room poem.
I also find church hymns useful when writing something about nature, my technique is way out there on the crazy list, my concept is really just to find something to help keep the rhythm and tone while writing, it also helps me focus. If anyone tries either of the techniques I listed, please tell me how your poem turned out, I want to compare results.
