So there's heart breaks
And pain out bursts
Tales of so many liars
Tears breaking through your clouded eyes
...
Usually a father figure would be someone that cares,
Obviously..Mine does not.
He'll visit once a month,
Not even that.
...
She could walk this earth with empty eyes,
But once someone makes her laugh,
She can't hide the fact that she loves to smile.
She could look away in an argument,
...
I've always wondered what it'd be like to wake up next to you.
I've always wondered how it'd be if I opened my eyes to your smile.
I've always wanted to know if looking into your eyes,
Was the one thing I've always longed for.
...
Sleeping in a pile of garbage on the streets.
Only eating the fresh food on the ground.
Searching for change in the corners of curbs.
Sitting under a balcony, so the ran don't hit her feet.
...
Imagining a perfect world,
No rules, no mistakes.
Just everything we want,
All laid out and pretty.
...
We could be the oldest of our age group.
But could act the foolish of our class.
Not because we're idiots.
But because we're kids within.
...
Dear God,
I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry I have never believed in you.
I never did until the day your son helped my mother through it all.
...
Days and days,
That's what keeps me thinking.
Him and her,
That's what keeps me going.
...
I found this hero today.
They looked right through me,
As though I were invisible.
They never noticed me,
...
She got a box of gummy bears from a friend,
On her seventeenth birthday this year.
Red, green, yellow, clear colored gummy bears.
Not really tasting the color or the sort,
...
Swimming in a place,
Can't see, can't breathe.
Pushed deep,
Lying at the bottom.
...
Oh sweet brother of mine,
How I am going to miss thee.
You are about to make a choice,
That will change everything forever.
...
I hate it when my throat starts to burn,
And my eyes start to cloud.
I hate it when my body starts to cramp up,
And my heart begins to race.
...
Sometimes I hold my breath as you tell me who hurt you,
Because I don't want to hurt you anymore with my words.
Sometimes I close my eyes as you cry,
Because I don't want to see your painful memories.
...
Close your eyes,
And dream.
Dream of a life you would like to live.
Deam of a place you would like to go.
...
Why do you have to confuse me?
Why do you have to say you miss me?
Stop lying to me.
You don't miss my smile.
...
She wishes she could lie awake,
And remember every breath she takes.
Sometimes I wonder if she thinks of me,
All the day I think of her, but she don't remember a thing.
...
Don't get caught up in any little, pointless games..
You'll get screwed with and messed up in the end.
Don't trust those you just met,
Even though you feel like they've been there a lifetime.
...
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
Sister said you weren't coming back.
So, I'm writing you this poem.
...
I'm 18. I've been writing since I was about.. twelve. Around the time that my mom and dad got their divorce.. Around the time that everything went down hill. I've been known to write about how others are feeling, but I have written a few about me, my love, and my life. I can't really say that I'm 100% the best, but I can say that I'm am trying my hardest to become noticed. I have scared people with my poetry and I have touched people's hearts. I can't promise that I will be the best. I can't promise that I'll write something that everyone can be compared to. I write when I'm bored, depressed, pissed off, or deep in thought. I used to be able to write at least 45 to 60 poems in a day. I would carry around a notebook, so when I had an idea.. I could write it down without a mistake. I have the worst memory, so my writing ideas have been a little low lately. I can't really say that I'm not trying, but I can't really say that I'm trying either. Although, I can promise you all that I will try to see what comes to mind. If you have any ideas for me, feel free to message me and tell me them. I may or may not agree with them, but I will try. Thank you so much for reading and commenting my poems. It means a lot to me to know that there are at least some creative people in the world that share my interests. Thanks. Bye.)
Life Still Goes On [[junior Year Poetry Slam]]
So there's heart breaks
And pain out bursts
Tales of so many liars
Tears breaking through your clouded eyes
But life still goes on
There's a story that's being told every day
Secrets and promises are being broken
Forgivness and forgetting
That's what we're all about
Respect and Trust
Disrespect and pain
But life still goes on
There's a smile and a clash of whispers
Don't tell the messenger
He will be sad
Pick up a pirate hat and your sword
We're playing games, remember?
It's what life's all about
You see,
We may play games
Mess up to the point of no return
We might hurt and cause pain
But in the end,
We realize how much we really caused
Sometimes we wonder if life is out to get us
Other times we know that there's always going to be someone waiting in the end
We find out who our true friends are
Where we stand and who takes us seriously
We never know what's out there if we never get the opportunity to explore
There's so many kids wasting their lives on a simple picture
So many people are dying because they've only given up
There's so many women that are watching their weight or not
So many men that are killing girls because of what only one did to them
There's so many families that are losing their sons or daughters to suicide and rape
So many mothers and fathers that are just being overprotective to keep their kid breathing
Some day we'll all understand that we have to live life to the fullest
Listen here, people
We only get one chance to find our self
We get only one opportunity to live
So stay proud
Keep your head held high
Forget the name-calling
Forget the hate
Forget the pain
You've got one thing to remember
Whatever happens in the end
Life still goes on.
I like And So I Write a lot! original and I think a lot of us agree with what you're saying. nice to know there are other younger people who write... :) ~mye3
