I can see the light! You’re such a dog! It’s finally spring- time for a new beginning.
The word “striking” has multiple meanings, both beautiful and violent.
I might tell you your beauty is striking; although subjective, I seem to think you’re favorable.
The moon is shining
But the clouds are hiding it
A game of peek-a-boo
I watch from my window sill
And smile at the silver light.
-Bn Saliss
Do not think about anyone else but me; Even if you go to the bottom of hell or
go to the top of heaven, do not go without me. Do not think about anyone else but me.
You may forget but let me tell you this :
Someone in some future time will think of us
And they will speak of just how perfect we were
Joined skin to skin , soul to soul
And just how the other couples envied us
In the spotlight or backstage,She shone bright in every stage,A girl of drama, of poise and grace,Her talents brought smiles to every face.
So That We Can Breathe
Terrorism, a continued threat to humanity,
Must be combated, must be precluded
We want peace, don't want violence.
Oh, Alba, my sweet puppy,
How I miss your wagging tail,
Your playful bark, your silly jumps,
And the love that we would share.
In Uganda, a land of beauty and grace,
Where the sun shines bright on the people's face,
There are cries of anguish and pain,
As human rights are violated again and again.
It's not me but the idea of having someone
It's hard to understand for you reader but she broke my heart
My cat has got
To call from
Outside
He is cognizant of
The pitbulls
Inside
I was the child
Watching eyes
Watch me home
Across Shoreview Drive
My mother see
Was borderline
My heart shivers,
The earthquake,
Not easy to hold,
Lost in words,
My dear spot!
The wild cat,
Hold me tight.
While the sky held her hands
Her eyes as bold bells I heard
An ocean enough to drown deep to be found a herd.
While care is lost in the seas
Come, taste the world with me
Time wears bright call
For plain value
Chasing down seconds for centuries
Night and day
New and old
Running in fantastic lines
Agreeing with the magical future
In the embrace of miraculous now
We dream to heal
Life will be wholesome again
Every morning birds sing sweetly on inverted beds
Within mortal frames mornings are for coffee and contemplation
Ink of my soul,
Precious portal of puzzling wonder,
Make me whole,
where aura aims high and art sparkles the clouds,
When you fall
When you take long in the cycle
Remember seeds do too
Deep in the dirt, drenched and dosed with heat
Today I decided to bring the maker into everything
He was the one who installed me in everything
how can I keep him from anything
it's either him or nothing.
I saw everything psychedelic placed
Nothing functions out of place
Kings chosen are already know
And born as they should
Nothing will take the land
Dr aw near
Tou ch me
With your palms of laughing lights
With tips of thousand suns and moons
Closer than water to my earth.
Verse 1)
ive got snake eyes,
I can barely wait for tonight I'm
paranoid praying hat I dont see a satan.
i'm impatiently waiting still debatin
for this new world nation....
Think long and hard about this next one
Don't be too quick to say, 'I'm done'
Let your thoughts fade away in this very moment
Forget every single thing you've ever learnt
Kabul falls into sheer peace,
Now 'Islam' enters into Afghanistan.
Ignorance dies on the battlefield.
The peace blows in the morning breeze.
What is love? Is it butterfly's in the stomach?
Wanting to see them again? Love is a forgotten memory.
For within me is a big heart, with a small home.
Love was something I used to know, same with friendship.
As the silence keeps growing.
The performance keeps going.
I cannot deal with myself, I'm not steel.
I got the feeling within itself, I'm not real.
I frown upon my choices, and drown in their voices.
There was a child
Who always smiled.
But his life was becoming wild
He had hundreds of questions piled,
In his struggling mind.
He was 'Polly'for all,
But he found joy on being called 'Paul. '
There are pains rooted inside my heart
that my body can't bare,
There are no pains I have never felt
Even a broken heart had been felt
No way to bury my pains
So faking my Smiles is just ok.
I was just here in this window
waiting for your shadow
Wondering if you'd ever walk this near.
If you never knew
all that I've been through
Would you dare come
and take me home again?
Drops of water.... Reflections of My wasted time..
Drops of water.... memories of You tear through my mind
Why d You have to leave Me so stone Cold blue,....
So stone Cold You ..
Progression one failure at a time!
How much character can one build in a lifetime,
through constant turmoil, embarrassment, and
Failure after failing, after being failed
Places we've never been

Deep in the depths of my womb
there lies my rotten eggs.
The potential of halve beings
My contribution of madness to the world.
Sun Rises
Sun rises fury; hitting nature's wonder,
Feeling the new blazing wind makes my soul prouder.
Birds flying around enjoying what nature gives,
Dear red boy,
I didn't know what to think of you until I met you,
I thought the rudest of you,
I thought that because you were way older we couldn't fall in love,
I fell in love with you from a distance,
I was privileged to have sedentary on the seashore in seraphic poetic submersion,The ringing sounds from the distant horizon made me entirely lost in my speculation,
life could be cruel sometimes,
when it's hurting,
it's actually trying to teach you something,
current chapter's of our life maybe worse,
than it could be able to imagine,
The heartbroken house wife
Sits and ponders her life
She doesn't smile anymore
Her time is now spent on
Errands, cooking and chores
She dreams at night
Of a more romantic life
One day, sitting on the stairs with my head down
Having so many fears and with no crown
Thinking about the pitiless, merciless life
Discovering happiness, don't know where to found
STREET ANTHEM
Oh! Our leaders
May our votes uphold thee
We lay all our life on the streets
Forever as we eat rubbish
And wear rugs and sleep on the streets.
I'm not hiding behind anything
I have no artificial colorant on me
Just the same current
I'm just current
No make-up to make up a false image
I don't need to hide behind any facade
To aid my real self
Love
A dance
Sight, smiles, hugs...
just like a metrical verse
shame
quite a cruel knave
hunger
hunger in more ways than one
where love is fighting...
Fighting without resentment of death

" O Journey "
'O journey! 'O journey! Where are you going?
Why are you so blowing?
So strange are you,
From place to place, sometimes in a queue.
The promise I made
The promise I made for you
Was to stood by you
Like anchor of a pillar
And never let go of you
You do things you have never did before for a reason, theres no excuse for it. Pretend you took a shower why did you do it? Because you had no choice but to. Why do you wake up, sleep, and eat because you want to!
Its not a moment that I don't think about you I can't even try, when I hold you in my arms my love for you I can't hide, I know that you love me I can see it in your smile, I love you for you and those beautiful Brown eyes,

Life is tough sometimes🥺, there's what's called bad, sad times & days but don't you dare say life is too short cos
You don't know how long you'll live!!
“HEALED”

They kept on trying to burn her, not knowing that she was the flame.
They kept on trying to hurt her, not knowing that she was an addict to pain.
Let Love Flow,
Just Let Go,
Let Your Light Shine,
Your Part Of The Divine,
It's That Time,
To Get It Right,
Don't Fight It,
You Might Lose Sight of It,
Keep The Faith,

I called you the sun
In the hopes that I would be Icarus.
Legendary and famous
And dead in a blaze of passion.
But you are not the sun,
I FEEL IT
Its like 7.30
And am on the roadside chilling
Feeling the rhythm of feelings
Inside my heartbeats trembling
Till she said hi
And I said hi too
I'm 23...
And fortunately, I like being me.
I love myself, my immediate and little family of three.
Did I feel this way... at 21?
Was I ALREADY having this much fun?
Or... was I... actually... numb?
When you got angels of torment like blisters that bond's under your skin, to an illness that sickening', and yet your name is not James... It is not sky fall: and yet, not impossible to remembering from past to present.
Yearning to become someone better,
That is one wish all children make.
But what happens?
When some wishes
Turn into ashes;
Without even trying.
Then all get lost.
Girl alone or full on piled
As they slipped through blood,
“Oh this girl’s wild”
She didn’t know her breaths could be swallowed
Oh no, she was just a child
4, 5, who loses count?
In the end it was just me and my thoughts,
A painful trap, long after you were gone
Thinking it was all said and done,
But I was unlucky and hurt within,
Indeed, love is not what we think but what we feel within.
You gave me a standard
Told me, sternly "never sway from it"
This was the ⚓anchor, all that mattered.
My eyes drift twords you without my knowing
Your voice is so soft its hard to hear
But it makes me want to hear more
quiet like falling snow.
Your blue eyes show a pain ive only ever seen in the mirror.
My prize you are
Your bride I would be
When ever You call
I'd be, there, there to serve my role.
My role to you
Hot little sweetness
Oh! My goodness
Let's take a walk
And make meaning of every halt.
Come, let's be our bolt
In pattern and in action of any kind
Let's be blind.
Tell me the tale of a good old node.
The one who stirs at everyone's mode
Taking a hint of what to from each imitation
What a virtue to behold.
I get an itch sometimes on the hint of meat
And I sprinkle lint like flakes
To fill my stomach, forcing it to excrete ravages
Thus is the cravings with which I am hit.
Shhh! Can you hear that?
Can you hear the silence?
It's killing you slowly;
Mince to mince.
Look at those people around you,
Suffering the same thing that you do.
They were enjoying peace;
Thank you!
For being the moon in my dark nights,
A good afternoon in the bad days,
The best mom as always...
The rest can't fit in this page,
You don't get tired with age.
None won't be as real as you,
My nature is black!
But i'm standing taller than egyptian stands;
All because my feet are planted on unshakeble grounds,
I'm a never fall, Watch me; This how I spawn!
Though the wind be blowing traps on my way,
If you ever change your mind
about leaving me behind
bring it to me, your sweet love
because it's the only thing on my mind.
I don't know what to think, how to act and how to feel
A mindful emotion that feels so real
The worst feelings to ever be felt
It pulls me back and drowns me 6 feet under
I don't know what to think, how to act and how to feel
A mindful emotion that feels so real
The worst feelings to ever be felt
It pulls me back and drowns me 6 feet under
A point alone is just a dot
Two points connected make a line,
Add another point in the same plane .
Then connect each dot.
A triangle takes shape.
Depending on the angle the triangle is named,
THE WALK OF LIFE!
It hurts every step I take!
In my heart is an endless flowing river of tears!
It rains every time in the inside of me, Flooding the river-always!
THE BEAUTIFUL SHE DEVIL
Her smile melts men’s hearts
Her skin is a true reflection of beauty
Her voice nourishes wounds on men’s
Souls!
She puts on the most precious jewelry
REJECTION!
Iam a dark horse of the family!
A curse unbearable!
Unlike others, Iam differently treated;
The bitter truth!
In my daily struggles, grief
Feasting on me- who cares!
I Will Not Be Quieted
When I grow up
When I have no need to dream
When time is all past tense
Blossoms no longer excite the heart
And the smell of a baby no longer catches the breath
Finding your own journey asset
With your eyes closed
We just have to go on
Just go on;
The road is unknown but
My physical body aches
Terribly as it resonates through my bones like a chord plucked on worn acoustic guitar strings
I beg for the release of the metallic chains of my inability to see beyond the depths of my own soul
I tell you of a secret, a lesson I learned very young.
A message I’d like to share, in hopes of helping someone.
It did not come easily, good things usually don’t,
FROM ALL YEARS
LOVING AS A TOUCH
SWEET WORDS, A DARLING SOUND
IN THE HEART OF A TIMELESS TEARS
A SHALLOW CRY
A RIVER STANDS BY
WITH REGRETS AND HATE
THE HINDERED HEART TURNS ITS NAME
I take hope in the beauty of the world, in the laughter of kids one and younger to ninety two and older, in birthdays, in wonderful lives that were dedicated to the ones who needed that life more
Today I'm feeling nothing,
Nothing not sure why
I'm not mad but not calm
Or a bit of anythiny not sure why
It might be weird or not, to feel a thing
And might not
Sunsets IIThe sun is set; the cloudscape once softly drawnin gold and rust now fades to a single grey. All glow has gone; the wind bites coldly. Bear with your sorrow: the dawn comes slowly.
I gape these out of courage,
Pregnant with volcanic rage,
Whose fangs are sharp like a rake,
Taunted like a string that may break.
I am tired of your sounding skull
"Stoic is the valve to my heart,
Turning and tightening, tearing me apart.
I thought I knew, I thought I understood,
Yet I still feel so distant and not what I should.
Some write of ventures and business conquests
Those American Dreams turned expedient success
Some pen their journeys from rags to riches
Entrepreneurs admired for their ambitions
White, empty walls
Followed by
White, blank pages
A cold, vacant stare
Lights flickering
Unfortunately, she is home
A padlock on the door
Melt down the key
Into something
I look in the mirror and what I see is a part of you in me.
I look at life and all I see is a world full of tragedy.
My mama ain’t here and I just hope she’s proud of me.
Every night a little girl faces a different battle.
She's questioning her worth and what her family would do without her;
Contemplates to run away but her spirit tells her to stay;

Didn’t make it past high school,
Who would’ve known?
Just a popular tool
Who fell off his throne
Story wasn’t as simple
Didn’t cry, didn’t weep,
Just because of one pimple
Look at me
In hopes that you see the Afropunk in my vunerability
Every picture I would hold you close to me
No matter your mood
The Warrior in Truth is an artist.His sword, like a chord it plays death.His tune of destruction; at times it sounds staccato.On occasion, it’s a swirling crash of whistling fate.
Falling, flying, Soaring
the struggle to get up
the thunder of the gunfire
a sister falls beside me, forever laid to rest
the fight is getting dire
Valkerire fight for the Asguardians
Did it start with my first homecoming dance, when I had my first kiss?
Or maybe it started when I had my first heartbreak.
No One’s Coming
I wish that time would stop again.
Lying still in perfect darkness, bundled up in illness and discomfort.
I sometimes have the feeling that I can’t recognize myself.
When I look into the mirror and the image reflected back at
me all of a sudden seems unfamiliar.
And then I actually feel.
The coarseness in my hands and
“Go back to Mexico you dirty wetback” The words are like acid on my skin I walk through the gate I enter the school No one ever tells you what to do when you feel unsafe in school I feel the grotesque body of shame climb its way up my throat It
Growth
Getting bigger
Growing up
Getting smarter
These don't always go hand in hand
The Shift: The Strain of Duty
The perfection of childhood.
The blossoming of flowers,
The lush, green grass,
The mild warmth of the sun.
Five foot two- can't fill those shoes
You never knew the pain they put me through
Five foot three- can't find real me
You say I'm my own, but never felt free
Five foot four- s'you I adore
Once upon a midnight postpubescent,
Much I marvelled the silent graafian follicle;
Puberty - tormentor of my dreams.
I awoke and flung the legal age,
In a kingdom full of menses
When I thought of the puberty.
When my toes finally poked through
Those converse sneakers from 8th grade
And my shirts got a bit too tight
When the boys stopped wanting to play ball
And the girls just wanted to fight
I’ve had my ups and I’ve had my
Downs
I’ve had my bumps and I’ve had my
Frowns
As a child I was innocent, creative and
Playful
I had lots of friends, toys and just
Able
Lost to an act so long ago, a kid already but I didn’t know
what it was you that you did and yet although
I was so naïve I could tell how wrong it was to not go
Why is love so lost in a world that will cost so much.
With mothers abandoning children,
And the hidden agendas of people looking for another,
We’re a team. Whatever you lack, I got you. We balance each other out. Minor setback? We’ll make it a major comeback. Bad Day? Well I’ll promise you a better night. You need support? I’ll be your backbone.
My willow friend
You die and thrive in certain seasons.
Here for the pleasent weather,
but gone in the cold.
Our conversations come like the warm breeze,
but no matter what I say
They asked me what are some different types of drugs
For me a drug isn't cocaine or pills it's a person
He is my drug
He is what I got addicted to
He is what makes me feel like i'm floating
Fear.
A giant wall built faster than it can be dissolved.
For every positive thought there seems to be ten fearful ones to drown it out.
At times it seems easier to fight fear with others by your side.
I heard the shadows lurking in the dark,
Pulled the sheets over my head to cover my eyes,
Heard a man who let out a loud barked,
By the image in my head made me petrified,
One night as a laid in bed I couldn't sleep my thoughts chose to wonder instead
Same troubles kept playing in my head
Over and over again
But something came over me I can't explain it
Where did you go after you were swallowed by the soil?
Because even though you left a bump on the ground
As though it were ready to give birth to you all over again
But does that mean you were born into death
The preacher's daughter
They call it unholy
They call it unethical
They call it natural
They call it canal
Stop holding on, you keep dreaming. I lie awake think my life a mistake but in the end what’s the meaning? The thoughts I build do nothing but destroy, these feelings I have always hiding yet are sought out to be played like a toy.
Lost in thought,maybe in too deep.It's a hole fallen intohard to get out of.
I walk with my keys between my fingers
Even when I park in a well lit area my fear lingers
I’m scared to take an Uber or a cab
Because if I’m not careful I might be kidnapped or killed
The weight of expectations sits on her like an elephant
She wants to do well she's hell bent
She feels like an idiot it's an impediment
Her grades are most important so her mental health is not regular
I am a Tropical Fruit,
Born from the strangest of ways
Colorful yet nappy
Born from the strangest of ways
ec·stat·ic (adj.) Happiness overwhelming, the excitement overtakes you.
Bliss comes in waves, and your mother jumps for joy at your A+ that she promptly sticks on the refrigerator door.
When the warrior inside the cell of your heart is in protest and the ringing is becoming unbearable.
When this demonstrator makes all the world lucid for you and the transgression around you insufferable
Do you know what it’s likeTo have a friend, a sibling, a lover Look you in the eye, and beg of you: “Don’t miss me too much.”“Keep the pictures of us close.”“Wouldn’t the world be better without me in it?”
Medicine
It’s been apart of my life ever since I was little
I hated medicine
All the pokes and pins
All the stickers and Batman bandaids to make me feel better
The Marine Mentor
Don’t let anyone tell you that someone with talent can beat you
Strength and tenacity, power and relativity, willingness and reality
This is what will push you through your goal miraculously.
Hey silly you're probably at work or something but you should stop by sometime I mean its only been 11 years since I've seen you and sometimes I wonder if you even know I exist I exist I existed but in your mind I didn't that's fine I'll survive
How could you think racism doesn't apply to me?
who told you that my Caucasian parents are my omission
from the
jokes about my feature
stereotypical accusations
and
Have you ever stopped to wonder, just how many people love you, cherish you, help you? I have. I have two people who have supported me through every choice. Ups and downs, thick and thin, all of it.
Your arms wrapped around me
Holding me tight in the cold winter storm
As you looked into my eyes and told me everything would be alright
That loving myself is not an easy thing to do
Love.
What is love?
Is love just a word, or is it more?
Love is a powerful emotion
It gets you on a high.
Loneliness
I sit alone in a Crowded lunchroom,
There's silence where I sit.
I longing look at a group of friends
I am quiet to the world
I ache to be seen.
Monotony
That is what I am.
Beautiful Yet Not
You are so beautiful
Yet you are not.
When I get to close you sting me
You are like a rose,
I try to pick you
Yet your thorns sting me.
You are not
You can be a monster
What is a trend is a trend? Is a trend that mysterious black room that grabs you in when you look too close.
My Mother, a woman by many names and of many mindsets.
A woman of joy.
A woman of anguish.
A woman of love.
To teach me to be better than I already am, to teach me to be happy first and foremost.
My mother told me that she always wanted to name me Sky.
She would tell me every day to look up at my namesake and gaze into that oblivion.
So vast,
So beautiful,
A shooting star, a flash of light,A beaming face, so happy and bright
Her tone like honey, her words so fair,She laughs a jingle, and you stare
This is not about your want for suicide.
It is not about that.
Perhaps this isn't the first poem you've heard or seen.
It is most likely not.
I never dreamt of being helpless,
in fact, it’s the reason for my strong senses.
Words saved me from my spiraling defamation that seemed endless,
Ironically, the ones that break you will always have your attention.
The stress of you pushing your weight all on me
it's so unfair i just want to be free from your cruelty
the pain of your words endured in a millasecond
i'm yelllnig to stop but you just cannot help it hey!
Oh jeez lo wezz. Away from my nuclear family.Feeling with so much anxiety. Belong an adult is kinda hard.I might be a house of cards. Trying to stay.But lately, I’ve been feeling so grey. These pills I take somewhat help.Even though I might yelp.
Heading down this lane I see no one beside me,
Oh, that's right, I only feel someone inside me,
I feel nothing but someone who's anal, a crazed Boy man with only one angle,
To understand a life unlike your own,
to feel against it still.
To sink below in others bones,
then feel it break your will.
Rhymes that make up human thought,
contrast with firm beliefs.
"The brightest matches burn the darkest"It started off ablaze-- together forever through a life that's a maze-- they c
Weave a tale of magic and adventure
Or simply about a simple gesture
What you ate, your mate, your state
It matters not; I'll listen.
Write a poem about who you love
Based off my understanding ,
Poetry can reveal, come through pain ,can politely hide, or it can simply amplify anything and anyone.
In love with the process, longing for growth.
My mind beginnings to wonder upon what it's like situated at the thrown.
Conceited with my own thoughts on why I'm still laying around at home.
I remember growing up,
Hoping to be Sixteen.
Thinking I'd receive all the Success,
Romance, and more Respect than
when I was Fifteen.
But by the time I came to age
When all of our slim hopes had been dwarfed into insignificance
And all of our dreams consumed by a reckless annoyance
Your voice was heard and it said something
Your word came through and it changed something
We say things are like poetry.
The sun beckoning the day from night with a sky blooming rose,
Or looking into the eyes of the one we love.
And sometimes funerals are poetry,
Light outside snapped and dipped
around the old stone
and the
clipped clean manicured lawn.
i had to look up to meet your wild hurt gaze
your fury at the top of the staircase
above me
How could you?
Choose man over us
You took a piece of me that will often leave me in disgust.
How could you?
Love strangers more than your children
What is your excuse for choosing man over us?
Pressed as it seems
Just feels hard to acheive
Its tuff to fly high
When their words fall like sleet
You'll hear the click when the seatbelt goes on
But you won't hear the cling when we toast for congrats
Pressed as it seems
Just feels hard to acheive
Its tuff to fly high
When their words fall like sleet
You'll hear the click when the seatbelt goes on
But you won't hear the cling when we toast for congrats
Poetry is my teacher
She knows me inside out
Poetry bore my soul
She tore my heart right out
Poetry scoffs bitterly
For I am such a fool
She shakes her haughty head
Closed in a closed cave
Its's so dark I cannot see my own skin
No flashlight, no torches, no matches, helpless
I can't start a fire...its's so dark I see no light
I think of you
I think of you when life gets stressful
I think of you when it feels like I'm falling
I think of you before I go to sleep
And you bring me peace
You bring me peace like no other
Even the rainbows seem gray
in this puddle we call Elmira
Slushy in winter, sticky in summer
I wish I could feel safe at night
Mark Twain is buried here
and his ghost continues to haunt us
If I could look into your eyes deeply,
see your soul
Your baby soul.
Like remembering my own;
you'd know I love you forreal,
embraced in a cradle.
Admiring soul
Divorce
The word divorce is defined as the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body,
But that’s not all it means.
The smoke engulfs your body
I cough in disgust
“that'll kill you.”
And you respond with a smirk
A kid wakes up.
He sees the sky out of the glass pane window.
He starts to shiver because of the morning cold.
Once the young child stands up,
He started to feel confused.
But then he soon realized
My dearest love,
Lying here on the bloody soil,
the world seems so free of toil.
Looking into your beautiful, empty eyes,
those cold blue glistening eyes,
those eyes I've gotten lost in,
Dear Father,
You were there for my birth
At least I think you were
But that’s about it
You saw me growing up
But I would rarely see you
I never saw you at school performances
Dear past me,
As you can see I'm exactly as you wanted to be
You got into college
And now you are chocked full with knowledge
So now those thoughts, is it enough
That rush of thoughts that worried you so
Dear Women Around the World,
There are times when no one will believe in you,
Times when your strength is tested more than your knowledge,
Strength that lies in your mind, and not your muscles.
If being a "liberal"
Means that I can plainly see what's wrong with the world
Then I'm a liberal
If being "evil"
Means that I believe women have the right to choose
Then I'm nefarious
As the cars pass me
I can't help but watch the drivers
Wonder where they're going
Where they're coming from
What they're feeling, thinking
What their click on their dashes read
How I can be them.
Dear atoms,Connection and explosion is the name of your gameIs that not the same of those you occupy?Molecule after molecule of swe
Have I left
My beloved one
The one that I asked the skies for
In exchange for my career dream
As her smiles will go missing
As her kisses will go missing
Will I be able to continue?
Forever
Isnt really that long
I've always thought it meants endless
But life has shown me otherwise
Forever
Does not mean endless
It means
Until
I will always love you
Until
Dear Perfect Stranger Who’s Trying to Help,
I’m doing the best I can with the tools I have
Just trying to make life go right
In a world that seems all wrong
Dear you,
Something that is not grey
Is black and white, of course.
Like right and wrong
And bitter and sweet.
A contradiction of "no other color,"
Could only be pain.
Our friend and enemy:

Children crying gazing at their mother.
The mother is still, motionless, and a scarlet flood is rushing toward us.
Children cry, their salty tears making their clothes soggy.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Violet is a color
Is that not true
Yellow as butter
White as rice
Don't deceive thine very eyes
Emotions as flowers in Disguise
I say I can remember the memories.
You were a good one.
I loved you inside out.
Dark path came my way.
Every single questions rushed and went down through the mind.
A thousand reasons.
Dear Grandfather, Dear Bobby Jones
Father, look from this heart.
For you no eyes to see
the family you found, you chose,
waves with love, and the motion
of rolling times.
His words are an echo and my head is the cave,
I am an addict and he is my meth,
I am a bird and he is my nest.
I have these feelings for him that I can't seem to shake.
The World and The Wolf
The world may be wide
Far-reaching and near
The world may be welcoming
Dear Ex-Boyfriend,
I forgot why I wanted to write about you
But then again
I forget a lot of things nowadays
And the things that I want
Never make sense anymore
At least you made me want something
I felt him
rise from his deep slumber
The new day shall begin
as the old day is numbered
He felt me
gravitate towards the light
I felt the need to be free
but it was too bright
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time,
We will live in a world where everyone is equal,
Where women can be viewed to be as efficient as men,
In a world where Sleeping Beauty saves herself from comatose slumber,
The year of '17 was the year I really "sent it"
Jumping off high places, I never will forget it.
But if I had to sum the year up in a single moment,
It'd be when I broke my ankle, boy did I loathe it.
Dear you,
#MeToo.
I am a silence breaker.
I am strong.
I am not an object.
What you did was not okay.
I left a ghost,
on the curb of a suburb at midnight.
We parted ways,
and I mumbled goodbye.
And when you left I thought
You had taken
Everything
From me.
You gave birth to me in the month of October
while my father peeked over your shoulder.
You raised me with love and compassion always
and I desire to follow in your ways.
On a cool morning in June of 2004
Once again that my heart shattered
Lights went blackout, no more flickered
My head went full blank
My life I had hang
I thought my life doesn't matter
I am from peacefulness mixed with the sound of the washer,
the steady stream of water from the kitchen for washing dishes.
The smell of grass, cow manure and skunk fills the outside.
Lazy rain patters on the rooftop
Drops roll down the glass window
A room - dimly lit and cool
A tea kettle whispers slow
Through the window streams
In a small town cafe,
The cold table top
Starkly contrasting against the
Steaming cup of Coffee
Between my numb hands;
Sitting here now
If this was a poem, it would have significant meaning
It would flow so steadily from my.. mouth
If this was a poem, it would tear at your soul
Just like you (love)
I hope she dies in your arms
I hope she lies to your heart
Flatters you with limited charm
Shes not for you
But eventually, you'll see
I had the world ready for your fingertips
Dear Girl in the Mirror,
I am the only one at your funeral
But the tears are caught in my throat
Because I watched you slowly fade
And I let you slip away unnoticed
1776,
The time of independence was declared, the patriots no longer willing to stay
1861,
The fight for rights begin, a goal, a rightful freedom is clear as day
1865,
My story is a roaming smell of home cooked meals with a hit of alcohol.
My story is an unconditional broken love that is being repaired by others affection.
My head aches, my Heart aches, damn these heart aching pains of mine. Im going through hell, No one knows what im going through. This pain of mine it's tearing me apart, but I've found joy, nothings been the same. I'm trying I truly am.
Sosa love making money
Same way bees love honey
Can't take it from me
You gone make me extra hungry
In my stomach it grumbles
Can't get caught lacking
The tears are dry and no longer run
down my tired face.
I stand at your door, hope gone, dreams soiled,
as they tell me once more, "go away”.
I thought I was special when he talked to me.
Our eight year age difference intrigued me.
Laughter and sweet small talk consumed our weeks.
His vast charisma and poise decived me.
Because i love you ill never forget your name
Ill remember the taste of your name as it rolls off my tongue.
Love comes in waves, like the oceans in the deepest levels.
My dear how may I express it to you? This feeling that I'm just at rest with you.
My dreamed one, a lover that I know who has my heart. What will you do with it? How will I play my part?
Make known to me clandestine truths,
Father, Mother here my plea
Lest eternal petulance ascribe to me.
Mother say cast all doubt to flowing flame,
I ask if you've eaten and make sure you get home safe
I ask how's your day and if you're feeling okay
I support what you do and I'll try to help too
I'm your shoulder to cry on and your partner in crime
My grandfather is currently diagnosed with a disease
In which he loses his memories and forgets all that he once loved.
He lays on a bed, day and night
Surrounded by once familiar faces
panicked and anxious.

I don't love you.
Not with butterflies or jitters
or dreams or any of that shit.
I barely know you. Besides,
love is not an assault on the body.
My knees get strong when we talk,
Your love for me is as simple to you as breathing is to me.
When I open up to you, there is no judgment from your eyes or from your full lips.
Because of Loving you,
confusion,
hoplessness,
betrayal,
loss,
are not felt by me.
Because of Loving you,
I see everything from a different pair of eyes.
Because of Loving you,
Time and time again I fall, I fall in the same trap that I once got out of
but then again, did I really have the strength to get out?
It's been times where; love itself has put a restraint on me .
A shy little by handsa pretty little girl a rose.
And he asks: "Are you gonna let it die or let it grow?"
The pretty lottle girl looked up from her diary and smiles: "I don't know"
A few years pass, maybe five or more.
Today I fucked on a letter you wrote
to me a long time ago
What it means?
I dont know.
But you wrote about
Our garden.
and when your tears
hit the pillow
and dried,
i noticed that your eyes
would be as clear
as the day we met
to the day we died
your hand felt soft in mine
I remember the summer day when we first met,
You were brought to me in a little blanket
I held you in my cold hands close to the center of my chest
If you don’t mind
My brother
Like Paul
Take the fish-scales
Out your eyes!
Those colored fish scales.
Black, White
Gay, Jew!
Ewww!
My sister
“Because I love you” is what the unintelligent use to justify their actions
“I love you” are more than words
It’s the way you make me feel and the honesty
Love could be sweet as ice
Gentle touch right beside you
Wish you could hold these bare hands in your arms forever
Wish you could kiss those crispy lips
I hate small talks, and short walks, the skin-burning sun, people having meaningless fun,
the city life, the interweb, our education system;
I hate haircuts, headaches, heartaches, handshakes, homophobes, and homelessness.
Here I sit think why is it like this.
Every day I grow more and more detached,
I feel as tho this is not real I wish that I could just fly away, every day.
Home no longer feels close, it almost feels like a hole.
What do you desire above all?
What is it that you need the most of all my love?
My great love for you has caused me to fall
My adoration as fragile as a your spirit
A green stem gives life to a blossoming rose.
Its petals soft as silk and a pure white snow.
The rose, so beautiful it causes one's eye to water.
The water falls onto the petal
And one tear becomes many.
People started using
“I love you” as abusing
Abusing their own friendship
That turns into a hardship.
It slides into a hideous thing
He wanted to have something to look at through long legs; the view of Port Ann on the other side.
He admitted to having no one,
and got angry twice.
He always liked her
And liked being with her.
"Come here child, let's play a game"
She'll respond with a quiver in her voice,
"Why do we play when everyone goes away?"
''There is more fun, it's always going to be you and me...
Little Red
A Peculiar girl
The Wolf
A Monstrous Me
The Woods
No place for little girls
I was there when she first wandered in
The time she met me
The Big Bad
I am from breakfast crackers,
from Belvita and oats
I am from the organized maze.
(White, neat,
mixture of oranges and detergent.)
“Ariel!” Prince Eric shouts to his fair maiden after Ursula kidnaps her back to the sea.
Eric jumps in the water with the appearance of aiding.
Battle after battle, breath after breath.
Tangled in a situation.
Mom wont let me out of the house.
Captive in my own little world reading, painting, and cooking.
When will my life begin?
"I can't pass for a lady
Or a perfect daughter
Or a perfect bride
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part
If I were truly to be myself
I would break my family heart"
Who is that person I see
Once upon a time there was a young man
He lived with his wife, daughter, and son
He never cared about family or love
He only listened to his children's screams
As his wife once again hit them with force
Another time--
he could've been a better man.
He could have been-- a man.
A father,
A teacher,
Or even a king.
He soars on dark winds
Black magic.
He follows a black cloak
So what i'm not perfect
I don't have the neatest hair
Or the newest shoes
Im clumsly and spill thing a lot
I snort when I laugh
The tale of true love
Has never been easy —
Confronted
At every corner
With the hatred
That fills our souls.
Defiant,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair," they said.
No one ever told me to let down my hair...
Do you wanna know why?
I will tell you why they never thought my hair was pretty enough.
What I do not understand
What I do not comprehend
And what I do not recommend
Is the practice of love
Because what can love give you
once upon a time...We hear in stories as we grow up the wonders and astounding lives characters live,
but when your town is bomb ridden and full of careless rulers, it's not a matter of a happily ever after, it's
Sorrow comes in peculiar ways. The father
kneels next to his motionless son, icy tears
rolling down as he grips an icy hand.
Commitment-
To finish a project all the way through
Communication-
To talk through problems
Compassion-
To help those who need help
Compromise-
The way to find happiness on both sides
Is it easy to take the blame?Or is it easier to blame?Is it easy to forgive?Or is it easier to forget?Is it easy to change?Or is it easier to make change?Is it easier to be good?
Crying.
Constant tears.
Cruelty as far as the eye can see.
How come nobody helps me.
How can nobody see.
I’m in pain.
The flag does fly,
Over the land of free,
And flies high,
Filling her people with glee.
And though life's not perfect,
It's better than it's been,
But we shoutldn't stop our project,
Drunken blackguards stumbled out of seedy, dimly-lit pubs at all hours of the night; all manner of men jostled and bumped one another in their passing. Streetlights flickered, shivered, and swayed against the piercing chill of the breeze.
"All men are created equal"
We all scoff
Laugh
Because we know this isn't
True
What is true is
Unless you are making the top
1% of income
You have
Nothing
Once I was crossing into the deep forest,
There was no one except me,
The birds are chatting seems to me airburst
The dead leaves were making odd rhythm.
When we put our pens to paper to detail this tribulation
We are a Nation of poets and weepers
Sleepers who daydream through a voice blaring over the television
Theoretically
What do you do when you see a picture?
When you want to jump in
When you just want to leave
When it’s distant and lovely, far from your path
When it’s simple and easy, different from your life
Paint me a picture of Life,
Recite me a soliloquy of Death.
What is a lesson without strife,
immunity without ill-health.
With one there is another,
and with it there is the other.
Close your eyes and submerge into it beck and call,
Do not think just fall.
Do not wonder just sink,
Fill a cup of it and drink.
Forget it all and give into it,
Sing its song,
Find comfort in it,
Perfectionism
We never fully satisfy it
Thoughts of self compassion make it cringe
Often it deceives
Faultfinding limits our potential
Cuts off love and belonging in life
So scratch that-be free
Un extraño is calling you.
I overheard his voice n' your voice screams moisture numbers and noises beyond the lights...
Here in a room, with a glass full of liquor.
And crushed to know, I desperately do need her.
Standing there, staring right towards a mirror.
Feeling helpless, like a tragic bum filled with anger.
Most people start their poems off with "roses are red violets are blue"but one question do you really care if I pour my feelings out to you?
He wondered what is life trapped in the unknown?
Waking up to a beautiful morning, all sounds monotone
He cannot recognize his identity or deeper emotions
If this was a dictatorship, then these words would be treason.
If this was a monarchy, then these words would be treason.
They want to see me fail telling me I won't make it,
I will make it better is yet to come.
They say I could've died laying in the hospital bed,
I will live another day cause God keep blessing me.
Cuts on my wrist for everytime I felt pain,
I was suicidal.
They said I overdosed they thought I was on drugs, but I was suicidal.
Mixing chemicals that I knew would kill me, but I didn't care I was suicidal.
The perm usually burned
Thank God we cut it out
The new faces never saw the chemicalled you
The endless styles this new do can take us
Because how you look defines how the treat me
Sitting and thinking about memories,
You said if I let everything go you'll be with me.
Sitting and confused I can't keep waiting, It's a waste of time to me.
I'm waiting for everything to be the same again,
One Year Back:
Ribs sickly sticking through skin, spine running down my back;
Sunken craters haunt my face holding in eyes that don't shine anymore.
From the simple brilliance of sitting snowTo the nights spent by feeling fireflies' glowI've spent my year feeling the future come nearAs it stares at me with that all-knowing leer
They ask me what's wrong ?
How come your so sad ?
but then I blow it off and deflect ..........
"oh its nothing " " really its nothing like that !
Then all of a sudden I'm left panicking SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE
I never really understood who I was
Now more than even I still wonder who I am
Yet I think before I had an idea or I thought I did
Just in one short year I lost that part of me
I wake up everyday confused
a year ago I was the same
nothing within me nothing outside
I am nothing and nothing is what lies within me,
Everyone is better than you,
you are nothing,
Trump.
I Said it.
I bet it tasted sour.
Did it roll off your tongue with mercuric ease?
Or did it linger with a pervading pungency.
News heads will babble.
The masses will dabble
Sometimes at night I can't get no sleep,
So I just talk to god and tell him what's on my mind.
I don't know why I can't sleep some nights I wake up full of sweat.
My nightmares just won't go away.
In the world that saw despair, I knew my year was grow wide, because now was the time, for me see opportunities, for career and majors that are right.
Why is the world so corrupted?
Why do we always have to fight?
Why is the sky blood? Why is the trees green and tall?
Why do people have to die? Why is it hard to cry sometimes?
Why do we be feeling let down so much?
Some days are good some bad.
Don't you see the joy in my eyes,
Smiles and grins
When I'm happy everybody is around,
But when I'm down there's no where to run.
The times passes by fast.
You said you'll never break my heart,
You lied to me.
People say they will always love me,
They lied to me.
Save your lies just be real I can't trust nobody else.
Do you know how this feels,
She's tired of being disrespected growing up with fear,
They treat her like nobody but she knows she's a girl.
Cried too many years but still stayed strong,
Maybe that's why you see pain in her eyes.
Growing up in the hood all you know is to shoot.
You pray everyday cause you don't know if you will live another day.
You lose someone you love almost everyday, either they dead or leave you.
I miss the old days, the ones that made mehh smile.
I miss the fun I had growing up, I had nothing to cry about.
Now that I'm a teenager, I see the world from what it is.
The days I now have are bitter sweet,
Everyday I see something happening in my community,
I just want to make a better life so they'll see that I can do it.
Where I'm from almost everybody loves in a single parent home or with they Grandma.
Too skinny, too fat
No matter what we're still beautiful.
They say a woman can't do this can't do that,
We can do anything if we put our mind to it.
Small hips, big hips
There was a time when I thought everything was pointless.
But then I found something I loved.
I really couldn't like it any less.
It is lifting that I found out I loved.
You see I have a passion for bodybuilding.
Now going into the new year
I no longer know where to steer
Afraid of what is to come
because I'm constantly changing
mind, constantly straining
things changing so fast
Killin’ in the name of…Greed, and justice overseas
A father died a martyr and now his family takes lead
In the, anger, and angst that followsbut this is guilt that the west won’t swallow
Silent
Footfalls on sand,
Murmurs of leaves in trees
Or moves of the breeze, reminds me
of you.
JAMYA
J is for the way I be jammin' to Tupac
A is for my abdundant gratification
M is for memorable smile
Y is for my youthful spirit
A is for acceptable conscious
If my name was in the definition
Feet bounding...
Feet running...
Feet jogging...
Feet dying!
I see the familiar road,
It's amazing, isn't it?
How the years can fly by in the blink of an eye,
But minutes seem to crawl at a snail's pace.
It's amazing how much can happen in a year.
Smile.
Smile More.
In the world we live in its easy to be put down
But my motivation comes from a well known man
Roman Atwood.
He lives by the phrase he created
Smile More.
What makes me feel good is the laughter of my little brother
The company of another
Some great smelling food
What makes me feel good
As the sun rises over the mountians,
I too must rise.
I greet the day with sleep clouded eyes,
And tangled bed head.
Even so, I look forward to each day.
Every day is a blessing,
I watched her,
I watched her fingers untangle
from the struggling grip of my hands.
I watched her eyes grow in hate and sorrow
from the shattering promises
Happiness is brought with daylight -
luminous, balmy, tranquil,
with smiles as large
as the sun, itself.
When night steals the sun,
Childhood... Thats the past.
I know I Could... Thats the future.
Life is Good... Thats the present.
Scared of Woods... Thats the past.
Manhood... Thats the future.
College Brainfood... Thats the present.
And I am tired, and I am alone.
Shout it from the rooftops,
It should be known.
As a whole we "somehow grown."
But how am I still tired, and how am I still alone
I am a wildflower. My seed was planted in the depths of tainted soil, left to prosper among a hollow meadow. As I germinate, the essence of gloom familiarizes itself, striving to stunt my growth.
She gets up."The world is brigher at night,"she would remark with a laugh,but it meant more than whather smile hid.
You want a homemade boat? we can cruise on soundwaves
Good vibes are limited when you misbehave
Jumping in the pool it's our homemade wet n' wild
Look out onto Rollin hills while we smiled
Violence Against Women
From inner room to
open field,
from kitchen countertop
to office desk,
her travails remain the same.
Everyday she tells stories
Some people believe in a heaven and a hell. The place where the people with good souls live in eternal paradise. The place where those of evil are condemned to eternal punishment. But hell is empty. The devil lives among us. Sometimes you can
To escape for the first time
One must have a cause
Dispair was mine
And distance was at no pause
Oh, Land of mine, of me, of my heart and entrails,
I feel your cry.
How you cry, a devouring song of sorrow,
told by the mountains and roared by the oceans.
Understood by thosw who do and ignored by those who don't
My body tells my story.
Of struggling, fighting, thriving, life-saving glory.
Thick, dark, curly hair,
Came from a father who was never there.
A right eye that wanders,
From a brain that was starved for,
A light
A single light can mean so much in times of turmoil.
But, I realize now it's not so much the light as the source from which it gleams from.
He always says the right thing
He is always considerate
He is never wrong
He never tolerates ignorant people
When he ignores them, they always disappear
He latches onto popular opinion
Falling in love is an act of magic
Love can deceive you like an illusion
It can be pleasant or very tragic
Yet love can cause a lot of confusion
You punctured my heart leaving me to die
This poem was written by my best friend, Deland Wheeler. He passed away in a motorcycle accident one month ago, and his mother made me promise that I publish his poetry, so that people will see Deland's inner light. Enjoy!
To think or not to think-that is the question:
Whether ‘tis worthy for the mind to wander
The sullied and tarnished thoughts of destined fate,
Or to kneel before a paradox of uncertainty
I'm not sick Mommy.
Perhaps all the vomiting is my mind's plea,
To escape this broken shell, body.
The harder I heave, the greater chance of my mind's liberty.
My mind is too strong to be contained by a human,
P O E T R Y
Edgar allen P O E
did write you see
he had to T R Y
and captivate you and me.
He stepped away from the world
and expressed his feelings
in simple words.
This is me.
I’m clumsy at times,
And sometimes i can be a little rude.
There are times when i doubt myself,
Then there are times when i want to give myself,
When I walk, I see my friends
When I stop, I see nothing
Feeling alone as I lay
Feeling only sadness for those I've lost
As I think, I think of a song I've always loved
Nothing
is here
so we
are waiting
for something
but what if
something
never comes?
Because we have been waiting
for a
very
long
time.
But

Heat. I love it.
Heat. Does it love me?
Dehydration, sunurns galore. It hurts.
Sun, bright, burns out my eyes. Why,
do I sit in it, do I fight for it, do I wish it into existence.
For summer fun?
Poetry is to dance by using ones words, its artistic, beautiful, and powerful. It can encompass an entire world onto one page, the feelings and thoughts of millions into as little as 20 words.
In this crazy chaotic world, I can rest assured I am my momma's girl.
Strong, capable, beautiful, smart, just like my mom.
For a woman named Wendy nothing knocks her down, she's my rock.
Words roll and tumble through the air
It’s funny, because those words hold the most possibility
We either hate it or love it, but everyone uses it
Some words flash their importance and stare you in the eye
Everyone runs and never walks.
No one stops and looks
at how they walk or run,
how they stretch or shun
the person beside them;
the perseon next to them.
There are papers they say
Poetry is an expression and release
An outlet to the overflowing plugs of life-
a place that listens when the world denies your existence.
I write to be heard.
To be understood and for my opinions to be considered
I'm sitting in this cold hard chair. Wondering where I went wrong. Unable to sit back because I keep feeling the splinters peirce my back.
Anxiety is irrational Nana, but you can't understand can you?
I cool my impatience like an ice cube on my tongue, remembering she's no longer young.
I can tell from the look in your eyes
that you've run out of life,
you're not able to smile at the little things anymore,
you don't know where your happiness has gone.
I can tell from the look in your eyes
There liveth a song in mine heart--
I feel it;
It beats at my breast
For thee, my love,
From the depths of my soul.
The things I experience will stay with me forever
Growing up poor and lonely at school
Seeing my mom fight with my dad
Staying in the cornor
Afriad
Entering a white building
I walk up to the window pane,Watch these eyes full of pain.This beauty- such a bane!I hear my name, Jane.Turn around and smile, in vain...I feel the tears swelling up again!
Coming in a country
Without family
Coming for searching
For a life better
For your future.
Coming without money ,
And without clothes
Going to church
Praising the Holy Father
To ask him
I believe, Sir, the matter of it all
Is fondly oppressed by the time.
You don't really think the busy we do rush is anything not to do with the day?
If the yearning
has passed
and I am no longer aghast in the rooms of my heart,
I’ll be going now.
If desire has ceased dripping
from solicitous lips,
the future is a yawning abyss,
You are the reason I am here
You are the reason why I push myself
You are the reason why I enjoy life
Other children won't understand my joy you bring to me
You are the reason I love you mom
Don't forget that.
Life
It is a joke that is unheard
Until the punchline is delivered
It either amuses
Confuses
Or conflicts
The mind and heart
the things we learn is fair and cold
but it feels like an over load
the times we have is share and care
but we use it for our battling fair
Th kind and trust we have inside of us
We used it for lust
The night the rain came down I was inside with a book
In my hands clutched tight was a pen
The night the rain came down I heard the screams
I turned the music up so I couldn’t
You ask me this question
and I fire back, Why?
If you knew me
you'd know this
So don't ask me to lie.
I'm not like other kids
who want friends or family.
I'm not like other kids
My soul has found a mistress, and a loyal wife to match.
But after birth my sweet love found the scratches on my back.
So for now she leaves me lonely, waiting to return to black.
The feeling of being alone, is one that I embrace
Nobody to disrupt the peace, my heart has taken place
If I was deserted on an island, there is only two things I would bring
Farewell, old friend.
“Friend”, a term I hated to be called by you.
A naïve conclusion on my part, looking in retrospect.
I am stuck on a island everyday
From the unaccessible sidewalks
To the bigoted words you say
Yes I may be handicapped
But aren't we all in our own way
This silence is literally killing me.Afraid I’ll be caught up,in the words of others,comparing every syllable to theirs.Beginning to dread the next conversation,preparing,you plan what you will say to your supposedly reliable friend.There’s a bar
With the break of day approaching..
a young boy strugles in his deep sleep...
tormented by his folks past misfortunes...the demons they thought they had gotten rid of..
I shall always remember my first real kiss;
It was long awaited on expectant lips.
He drew me in for a hug so dear,
I was filled with passion being so near.
He made me feel so nice and warm
Alone, in the dark
I try to sleep
Beneath all the stars
I beg to dream
Without you, my love
Rest eludes me
I think of your eyes
As tears fill mine
Like black in the night
My life isn't the greatest
But who's really is?
I have a boyfriend who cares
So much that he's scared.
I have friends who are with me
But not actually here.
Get out of bed!
Hurry up!
Don't be late!
Turn it in!
Pass that test!
Get that car!
Don't be a slob!
Go to college!
Don't drink too much!
Make a change!
My drenched hydrangea colored shirt began to dry
As my eyes crystallized and I tripped beneath bits of sand
I was alone
As I stumbled into some reality of the trees
First I learn how to become nothing
Over time my words become slurs
Then mumbles
And silence
I stop talking
My words mean nothing
No ears in my vicinity to hear
The lonely wind
On this gloomy foggy day we cry for the dead
We have gold horns to cover our heads
He laughs in the dawn of the day to remind us of all the dismay
They.me. and the outsider of the rest
How you look into my eyes
I can see no lies
just the truth.
I need no proof.
Your touch
is a crutch;
that electricty
composes our history.
A spark
I am drawing the line.
This is it. I have kept quiet long enough.
I did everything I could do to please you.
Mommy, don't you see that you are killing me inside
when you say those words?
There is a time in person’s life
That each one of us must conquer
With no way around it
Where we must lay down to rest
Knowing we may never rise again
But each person
Does not cease to exist
The feeling of loneliness, and abandonment.
Feeling like everything is a loss.
The feeling of walking around inside not knowing where you are or why you're there, you just are.
In the hunt as few may call it ..for peace,happiness,the reason of life.
Day by day restless nights; due too reminsing chapters from back it time.
We live in a New Era.
Where appearance is your new identification,
Where you no longer held on to your faith's testification,
Instead you turn to idol adoration,
Where clothes become your top priority,
A child of sadness
One who seemed so sweet
But behind closed doors
How could you do this to me?
Darkness and pain
But scars still remain
Promised myself I will never remember your name
Why o why does bullying exist?
Is it enjoyable to see a person in pain calling them lies which hurts like venom,
Or enjoyable when the person has scars, cuts, self-hatred and depression into their bodies and already putting more?
Dear Buddhist girl,
You are so perfect.
You are kind, and you are wise.
Others may not understand you like I do,
But i will always be here to pick you up when you need me.
So um I like wrote a poem because like I'm sick of people telling me I need to like talk with confidence.Maybe if you actually paid attention to what I said and stopped degrading women for everything I would have this confidence you speak of.
When you look inside of me you can see the person I am.
What I can see is 40 percent is creativity,
The part of me that always making something.
25 percent is generosity,
Brick tiles skin in imprints.
Bloody and raw knuckles left behind,
refreshing anger stops and long sorrow christens.
A friend told me once of l’appel du vide:
a phenomenon in which
a perfectly sane man
can stand on the edge
of a cliff--
Not My Past
I am not anger
I am not forgiving
But I am not my past.
I am not hurt
I am not resolved
There's darkness
-then a flash
As two parts of me suddenly clash
An angels heart
- polluted by a devils mind
Cause my heaven, and hell to grind
Feel my agony
Music. I ____ music.
It surrounds me, hugging me, moving me, comforting me.
I use it to tell people I love them, miss them, am glad to be with them.
It knows how I feel: sad, excited, angry, sentimental
I am anxious.
Scared of the future, scared of failure change.
For the past three years,
I have gone to a college-
where my dad has worked for
over a decade—for free, basically.
I know nothing of love.
I am void
I am
untouched
by the brilliantly burning flames of passion
the glowing embers of a rupture
the continuity of a sentence
the most beautiful of fragments
I am the future.
The new generation.
The only one that can save our generation.
I am hip hop.
Trying to reach the ears of a black youth.
And help a boy that's struggling through the headphones .
Who am I??
What have I become??
How am I going to succeed in life?
These are frequent questions that I have asked myself.
In the past I have not had an answer for those question
My name is not Becky, Amanda, or Brittney. It is not Sarah, Ciara or Sandy.
My name is M-E-L-Y-N-N-E, and that spells Melynne.
My skin is tan and my hair is dark brown and curly.
I am a stereotypical positive young girlWith a smile that everyone seems to adore.But deep down, there is bloody warContemplating which reflection am I supposed to be,Unable to decide and expose the absolute me.
I am a mother
a wife
a veteran
an artist
a daughter
But none of those words really describe WHO I am.
I am Disappointment.
I’m the feeling you get when ice cream slowly tumbles to the ground, sad enough to be sad, but unimportant enough to not cry.
It’s strange, isn’t it?
Its warmth is needed for survival
But as soon as you reach toward it
As soon as you try to look at it a little more closely
You get burned
You're blinded
I can be what i want,I can be in painI can be insaneI can make senseI can be incredibly dense
What I am is fluid, so alternantWho i am is questionable
For a man is the sum of his memories
(Not part of the poem, but this poem is from May and I am only just uploading it now)
Super-Virgin of the 21st Century
I'm not one of those who till the land
Before it`s due
Even if its fertile
My energy is not to prey on it
I`m Sorry
Humans forgets
Like a wild warthog
When they go yonder
Forget days of yore
Become wont of the silence
Nay,
The `ebb and flow of time
Divine…The imagery of euphoria sits beyond this window’s pain.For this is what has us running in place in hope it prepares us for an escape.Fear…The singular emotion that drives hopes behind said barrier.
There’s something glorious about being a woman
Like the feel of Saturday mornings when you don’t have to go anywhere
And the sky is painted with lilacs and periwinkle and you wonder
“Why do I ever go to Sunday school
Sun-damaged hair bouncing between my tired eyes,
the flapping of my stretched skin with every stride,
"Good morning",
I get at the sound of a ring.
My phone wakes me up,
To my favorite song that it sings.
My head has risen up,
curiosity is at it's peak
How do I get out of this?
What even is this?
this barrier that's holding me captive..
I want to get out,
But
How?
I know.
The future is far
The destination is there
But the waiting is long
For a future with despair
But hope will shine
In the present, today
As I smile with friends
When I go out to play
Dear Time,
Tick tock tick tock tick
Is all you ever will do
But why? all it does is make me sick
Enough already I'm fed up with you
Either you tick too fast or tick too slow
Them.
A kiss, theirs. Furious-mad'n young.
White ouch, my eyes. Hurt.
Mommy.
Good.
Not them.
A scream, mine. Delirious-sad'n hung.
Light crouch, my cries. Inert.
Mommy gone.
Her exceptional beauty; astonished many
Her graceful elegance; pleased the elders
Tall, strong she stood
Encouraging nature to flourish within
Streams and across valleys
Everytime I hear this word,
I automatically come back to earth.
I feel like I am about put my earphones in
and adjust the volume so that it can be as loud as possible.
What would a phone do without a battery?
A phone is lonely without a battery
It's useless without power running through
What use will it be without a battery?
It's nothing without a battery
Holding each other, never letting go
Knowing you will always be there
Through the darkest of days
And the greatest of times
I know you will always be by my side
From the womb I knew our connection would grow
Life becomes rather monochromatic
when you become very melodramatic,
because your friends aren't really estatic
to talk to the self fanatic,
and social interation becomes problematic,
Her words were never heard
they were never spoken.
She created her own language
through her eyes, her vibrant sapphire eyes.
We grew up together, her and I...
and yet she never really grew up,
Do you see beautiful?
Do you...
Well...
Do you see beautiful in me?
Sorry for asking.
It's just,
Maybe beautiful is
A choice, not a birthright.
Everything is awesome
Until you reaize that it's not
The wold is ugly
With vitiation it is wrought
The sky will always rain, and the world is filled with pain
Pessimim reminds us why we must refrain
How can you walk a line full of hate so long?
How can you look in ones eyes and not see pain in my heart?
Blinded by ignorance that its hard to clear my eyes to see
This is what I know
That you are one in a million
That you are charming and beautiful
Others say gorgeous, stunning, pretty, striking
The list is long
Your eyes would make the bravest man shy off
-To be perfectly honest, I believe every part of our life and lives are “awesome.” Not awesome in the modern usage, to say, “Hey, that’s awesome!”
Racing, pulsing,
Charging, surging,
Expanding, demanding,
Supplying, not dying,
Speeding, relieving,
It goes on and
I wonder if it might
Stop soon
Suddenly End
Pain is an inevitable part of life.
Pain is your body, mind or spirit way of telling you it hurts.
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
My job isn't to make you feel comfortable
To show that I care about how you feel about me
Everyone repeat after me: MY worth is not diminished by what others think or say about me.
ALL TOGETHER NOW.
It started with an L followed by and O then came V and ended with an E
An international, over used, multi meaning word
Leads and misleads the people who want to believe
Hopes up and disappointments follow
Is it fair for me to love you?
Me, a young soul, tender at heart, but man everywhere else.
Because as I cling to this love for you my dear,
Someone else, in the unconsciousness, the unawareness,
I jotted down a message to myself in my phone: “Write a poem about watches and bicycles and poetry.”
Is that all he really left me with?
I take it all off.
No one sees anything different,
since my makeup is nonexistent.
It's all rubbish anyways,
does no one know what natural beauty is?
I once made a choiceWhen a choice made meConsider the soulWhich I would solely beI could've gone rightTo just fitting inLeft all that was leftOf me, quitting again
have courage to love yourself and to love other in the world because love is from god above, because the courage to love will make you brave. we must have the courage to love and show the love of god above.

The darkness calls to me,
All of the time.
But I try to ignore it.
Sometimes, though, I cant help but think,
Is that decision mine?
Do I really have the power,
Or the will?
High School was easy
but college is not
I came into college
thinking i would not fail
But to my luck
I faced my worst fear
I ended the year
with not one A
I hear the voices calling to me.
Through the deepening shadows.
Through the pouring rain.
Through the ever-thickening dark.
I listen to them screaming in my ears.
Causing my blood to boil
Is it all vanity? Grasping for wind?
The frivolities of happiness, the needless binding of melancholy
Long mellow strides carry him along the shiny tile floors, with the bright warming sun burning through the slits of the curtains. A new day is brought upon us.
Today I am gazing at my periwinkle skies,Eyes like telescopes searching,AnticipatingEvery aviation instrument
I walk on a lawn speckled with mud
Beneath a thick layer of grass and
Below that lies the dead:
The old, the young, all those who have
Died, some without truly living.
I am not the first to fight this legacy war,
passed down from my mother.
I have been drafted unwillingly, underage.
My dad’s friends used to tell him, “Oh, Rich, you’ll have
It was on their clothes
In the buzzing noise they made as they gathered together
In the words they spoke
In the ambitions they had.
It was everywhere.
F.l.a.w.l.e.s.s
Unlike the rest I'm not flawless in my face
But flawless in my ways
My body shape may not be the Same
But that doesn't subtract from my beauty nor my good grades
F.l.a.w.l.e.s.s
You are perfect,
In your own ways of course.
But if everyone is perfect,
Nobody can be.
That's why some flaws are wonderful
Because they make us different from each other
The Greatest fight I've ever seen,
Never gave up, his mind was keen
twenty eight days he went, and did not eat,
Cancer had struck, but he will not take defeat
For he would lay on that bed and talk aloud,
For better never worst,
Whatever to see a new year.
Maybe another hurst.
Children always come first.
Facing your biggest fears.
For better never worst.
Dinner followed by dessert
I'm falling further from myself,
Down into the depths that threatens,
To swallow me whole.
The water rushes about my face,
It fills in the space left by my body.
This is where I die.
Quadrant I avouches positivityNo matter what angle you gaze fromEvery daybreak, we wake up in the origin
Fearless is the absence of the fear
Fearing less is a message held dear
Bravery or neccessity, the motive unclear
Tongueless or eyeless, his silence impure
A road less tread, a story unread
He walks like any other day,
Through the streets' sidewalks, and
When necessary, crosses them to
Become part of traffic and peoples'
Minute seconds of consciousness.
Ragged patents from his pants,
To wish upon a star
Is to latch your dreams onto the insubstantial
To meld fantasy into reality
And believe in something magical
The tiny pinpricks of light
Each the capital of its own nation
I am reading this book, but this book has no text. Why did I even get this book? It was titled Life by this amazing author and it was said to have 5 stars. But was it just 5 stars starring down the blank pages too?
Lying down
“Get up, Get up” I say
But, still, I stay
I lift myself, yet
Always a step away
A blank strip of paper
“create, create”
and I try
Alone and lost, the hearts of small innocent children.
Pain lay in thier tear-filled eyes.
What did they ever do to deserve this?
Cruel was the man who abused them,
Cold was his heart, and bullied was his mind.
As wind blows a drift
I lay in the wake
Waiting for the moment
The moment for end
The moment for feast
With the barrel a point
I hold my breath
With the sound of thunder
In the truth that is the existence of the world,
We are the instigators of change;
Of the Future.
As we march forward into this new age,
we are evolving into gods.
The gods that we had once worshipped.
I'm the one who always lie
the one who always try
to go and get the girl
but I'm never that guy
I'm always tongue tied
half high one time
when we were chilling
at that party it felt like last night
We all want to be special in some way in the world,
but what holds us back?
Is it the failures, mistakes, or misfortunes of our past?
It's the scars that pose as the three.
As I walk through this house
This house of mirrors
Some reflections are vague
And some, are clearer
As I pass them by
one by one
The reflections vary
The images are fun
Sadness is dark like a dark winter's night
Sadness taste like salty tears falling down your face
Sadness smells like dead rose
Sadness looks like glass being broken
Sadness sounds like your last breath
What if smiles were traded like currency?
Service with a smile is a requisite
Not a nicety
Government bailouts
Would nevermore distribute unevenly
Vibes are consistent
Zeal is flourishing
As I sit and embrace the meaning of the written word, I have no choice but to conform to your hidden agenda, your idolatry to hurt the ways that I feel and I write these poems, when I
Jokingly, at himself, “Idiot.”
All too dramatic, “Can’t you do anything right?”
Laughter. “You. Are. Worthless.”
They don't mean it,
I was made to believe that life was a
Thing to be enjoyed
But in a flash of 17 years that vision
Of life was easily destroyed
Although unemployed and rather
Spoiled
On the inside i feel less than royal
Honey
it takes miles to smile with a mouth like yours
if you let it run it’ll never stop
salivating all the tears you’ve let cultivate
at the shriveled root of your unused tongue if you ever had one
And, we don't all live in Ferguson, MO.
Who Am I? You ask
Well if you must know,
I am part-time,
I am all cold.
There's a part of me that beckons,
Beckons for warmth,
And a part of me that beckons
Beckons for reform.
I am who I am
It hurts , it lies
it steals, it crys
it breaks, it aches
Why does it take so much pain
with alot of joy?
does it put a smile on your face to see me like this?
why do i love?
Alexis. That is my name.
Many know it.
Few get to know me past it.
Shy, quiet, smart is all they see.
Though one cannot blame them.
Those three are all they are allowed to percieve.
As we walk the streets are we watching whats in front of us or are we just walking
We never notices the people that we see because of this thing called a mask
We live in a world the provids freedom but is that all talk
People are like flowers, really.
Some are fragile, some have thorns
some look broken, some look torn.
We all need care, and rely on many things
the warmth of the sun, and the colors of spring.
Who is this girl in the mirror?
Everyone seems to know her but me.
I stare in the mirror and who do I see?
A friend or my darkest enemy?
A beautiful gal or nobody's pal?
Waiting.
My good friend Silence is here
His company is comforing in my travels
Tunnels of purple and yellow hint of joy
Iridescent light spots in the sole of the Iris
Green eyes and a bleeding spirit
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
-Albert Einstein
I wish i could write about nothing at all.
wouldnt it be interesting to describe nothing?
we couldnt say a color,
How would we know what color it would be?
We couldnt say a shape,
On your special day I hope that's how you feel. You're the glue that holds this family together, a mother's love, a wife's support, and your newest title Grandma!
My love for fashion wildly grows,
For everytime I walk into a store
I cannot help, but buy more clothes;
I shop, and shop until I snore.
Blouses, skirts, and pants alike,
BY MARK BIBBINS
He can say it was a painting
He can say we were the painting
Or that the painting wasn’t painting
And that we only happen to ourselves
We can say we kept things running
Suppression and subjugation
On our conscienous fully operating
Grating
Against the grains of our humanity.
Leaving scars the hierarchy booms; blooming
Soothing none whom it's consuming
