It always ends this way yknow. Trying to go to sleep but I'm not able to. I say to myself all throughout the day that I'm gonna read or do something to make myself sleep earlier but I never do.
I dreamt I had a daughter.So pale and fragile she cameInto this world fighting.And with her tiny fist wrapped aroundMy pinkie finger,I could tell she would fight to stay in it.
LET ME BE YOUR NURSE
Are you lying asleep or awake
Feeling morose or jubilant
Feeling famish or stuffed
I want to see you through
All your needs
Let me make your pad
Allow me to take care of you
A tear on my cheek
To whom should I speak
Days are tiny and the nights too long
The words that I say, please sing that song.
I’ll always remember your kind loving heart, hoping fate will never tear us apart.
Looking back all those years, great love and everlasting tears.
Mine. Everything is mine.
My toys, my candy, my blanket
Mom invited someone new over.
His. He thinks everything is his.
His toys, his candy, his blanket
I DON'T THINK, OF YESTERDAY. LET'S TO THINK, WHAT IS TODAY? SUN COMES, ALWAYS, BRAND-NEW. WHY TO SEE SUN, AS GREY.
She was the initial experience
A fright, or perhaps a hope
And although wrapped in her benevolence
Struggled in heading up the slope
A cliche appears more as a provocation
Defend your heart the one who holds
the answers to many mysteries untold,
to love the one who lets you grow old
and endure the path of brick and stone
To capture the hearts of others is gruesome
You aren't the nicest.
You aren't the most relable person.
But you're my older brother.
We've laughed and we've cried,
you've watched me fall but you've watched me rise.
I used to know a girl
sad and bare was she
she cried all the time
and never thought
about the bright side
Hope had abandoned her
her spirit destroyed her
she never knew what to do
Deep breath and wipe away a tear,
“Oh god how did I get here?”
My eyes fall over the words
And my heart feels less of the hurt.
I send my work away
Would anyone care if I dropped off the earth,
Would anyone shed a tear?
Several sobs, a few gasps, some chairs at my funeral,
Then I'm just simply not here.
Would anyone care if I ended my life,
I died nine times to spare the others, I could spare nine lives to save my own. Perspective is a selfish heathen, human decency can't stand alone. We do not care about another. We only care about ourselves. We do good deeds to make us happy.
Where are you right now?
Am I dancing through your mind?
I'm thinking of a night, our bodies last entwined.
A passion on fire, blazing out of control.
Flames so hot, brand you deep within my soul.
You are the laugh of a baby
My favorite song
You are the feeling I get on Christmas morning
The presents I open
You are the warm hug from family
However, you are not the acne on my face
Dear Ms. Yolanda,
You know I care about you right?
Well, I do. You are my family and I will always love you.
But we need to talk. I wish you would start living already.
From across the parking lot
I glimpsed her sweet warm smile,
it said hello and beckoned me
to stay and talk awhile.
We talked about things near and dear
and how we view the world,
Nobody dares travel these rough and rarely tread roads,
but I follow them because I know where they lead.
Deep in a forest overgrown with trees
shrouded in darkness with rocks all about,
but can you see?
You are the Moon
I am the Northern Star
They need you close
to pull their tides
to change their course
and light their nights.
They need me far
not to light their way
It’s not about me and it’s not about you
its about us and what we do
never too late to see, never too late to do
follow your dreams and hope the rest falls through
as the sky clears up from dusk till dawn
Care.
A word most often used to talk about love.
Loyalty.
A word most often used to talk about friendship.
But when the two are combined, they swirl and dance with a never ending passion.
Drive safe
Make sure you eat
Look both ways
Turn up the heat.
Get plenty of sleep
Wear comfy socks
Brush your teeth
Turn all the locks.
Take a deep breath
It's hard you know
Being in love
Not necessarily being with the one you love
Thats the good, the easy
The happiness and butterflies that not only fill your stomach, but also the room
Families are supposed to accept you because they love you
They love you because they understand everyone is uniquely different
Because I love you,
I let you be you.
I love you because,
You let me be me too.
We don't worry about the future,
and we don't worry about the past.
If we work together,
forever we will last.
Sometimes words can be tossed,
Their actual meanings lost.
Sometimes words are hand selected,
I will not use the knife
dug into my back from you
to turn around and return your woes
when I have better things to do.
I kept close watch of him barely through a keyhole, but just enough to see him grow.
This way I could learn from him, see how life blooms in the dark. It must be done.
Classes, assignments
presentations in particular,
they get us so stressed out.
Let's stick with the presentations, for the moment
and think about this:
how prevalent the fear of public speaking is.
Love is a hill in the morning light.
You climb up one side and the grass is full and green.
But the other side is a pale grey and blue.
Like a flower I bloom.
Lessons from life i attume.
Thank god for my Mother,
I dont know what i would do.
A parent as ateacher,
A mother as the answer,
Mother for a nurse,
Mother as a hero.
Forced, terrrified, pain, lonely, hurting.
Forced to deal with the truth of a sheltered life.
Terrifed of what came next.
Pain for what what was, what could have been, for him, for his future wife.
To be honest, everyone loves me
Just no one seems to say thanks!
At all.
I find it odd that my similar
Counterpart, the bed
Gets the entire households praise
For I do what he does and more!
To be honest, everyone loves me
Just no one seems to say thanks!
At all.
I find it odd that my similar
Counterpart, the bed
Gets the entire households praise
For I do what he does and more!
My mom is the north star
She shines bright in the darkest time
She will help you fnd your way
When you are lost
She will always be there
Even if you can't see her
Her light shines so bright
What would I do without her?!
I am what I am because of her
I do what I can to be her
Independent, positive, a walking heart
She's too admirable to be true.
Day by day
The one thing I could not live without,
is not what most think about.
It cannot be seen,
but is very serene.
It is the feeling of someone caring.
When one is there to comfort my fears,
It hurts to see you fall apart
But rather I see it
Than look right past it
And not see
Even if I can't help
It hurts to hide my pain and cracks from you
But rather I hurt a bit more
If I am not beautiful,
Will you care to see
What lies far inside of me?
If my skin is not tan,
Will you care for my mind?
Speak up young student!
Are you creatively blind?
It's Kind
It Knows No Enemies
It Thinks No Evil
It Rejoices Truth
It Believes All
It Never Fails
It's not Faith or Hope
It's Love.
I need to say I'm sorry to my friends
for lying to your faces again and again
yeah i still drink yeah i still smoke
but you still loved me regardless of this stuff that you know
Some days I'm on a ship in the clouds
A captain of a ghost ship
Nicknamed the Lone Wolf of the Stars
I feel invincible being alone in the starry sky
A knight in the night sky
there were peoplein your lifewhosaved youfrom drowningand you have tothank themfordoing everythingthey couldthere are otherswho willslap youright
When will you ever learn,
That I'm a bridge that you can't burn?
When I'm just another one you've left scorned
And my heart is all but worn and torn,
After you've drifted some place far
Young lust
Simmers deeper than a gigantic tidal wave
The vivacious fusion of the two bodies
Begins to peak into the uppermost realm of infatuation
As they cover each other with outer warmth
I can see the pain
in the tears you cry
as well as in your eyes.
I feel bad because I can't do anything to help you,
I hope you know that I would,
Only if I could.
My day is ruined
So sweet and kind
People may not see it, but I’m not completely blind…
You fill people with joy
With your beautiful smile…
Who is this youth?
A lie hides the truth
small truths hide big lies
Who is this youth?
You question the expanse of my love because you cannot see its depths, but do you question the deepness of the ocean though humanity has yet to unearth its deepest point?
I feel alone, in the most populated places in the world
I feel sad that im misunderstood
I didnt know how bad it was to be livin in the hood.
School motivates me to succeed
It’s kind of funny how the first things you’re taught are the last things that matter.
In first grade I was taught that I could do absolutely anything with my life, even if I wanted to be super girl.
I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know what it means to feel motivated in something that you really love doing since people expect you to be perfect. I continue to push but for what?
So many people don't realize,
the affect they have on so many lives.
A smile, a wave, a sign they care,
that's all they really have to share.
Say "Hello", or take time to talk,
You do this for me,
You do that for me.
But it’s not all you.
I do help you.
I swear darling.
It’s not all you.
A relationship must be push;
And pull.
A small violet flower sits in her pot,
Wilting away and left out to rot.
Stagnant in growth, surrounded by weeds,
Some food and some water is all that she needs.
People walk near her to get her hopes high,
What would I Change?
That Question of Old,
It follows, it nags, begging to dwell,
In the center of your mind,
"Think of me, Think of me, All the time!"
Living Father of my youth
Left home, leaving
Silent words of error
Slipping like a ghost
Diving away from me
One who gave me Love
Delicious and delicate
Fine curves and edges
Perfect imperfections
Tear drops of you
Every shutter
I can only remember
Finding myself so close
To someone who knows
The same pain
The same game
Compatible with me
Someone who can see
Giving a given gift
Unsolved like a puzzle
A great maze of much
The mystery of time
One with design
Living among prime
Optimistic and bold
Leaving nothing old
Back at the trailer, another day gone
She stopped to wonder why
She asked herself, "is this worth it?'
She was barely getting by
Your prescence warms me and you're always there. No matter what, you leave room for me. When I'm down you help me up. You've seen me at my best, but mostly at my worst. You've seen it all, and still you remain by my side. I love you, friend.
The love that is a mere emotion in ones heart given to people to walk on
Emotion is nothing to some people
We ten gallon lovers stand here like flower in nature that gives everyone
Heart that beats pain is something you can't
see, you can only feel if you were that person
Don't try to come and tell them to feel differently
They will not listen because you don't know the whole truth to it
I am not okay
And I don't have the energy
All of it's exhausting
It's not that I'm not trying,
But that I can't seem to care.
Notes and tests and quizzes and books
It's all just way too much
Dear Lord...I need to talk to youbut as oppose to all our previous conversations I would like to do It differently today...
Im addiceted to help
To put others needs before mine
Why?
Cause we live in a cruel world.
One where gossip is a hobby
Being mean to others is perfectly normal
Killing others with words is typical
I would have liked to do my homeworkBut last night my dog was barkingMy sister was screamingAnd I couldn't stop crying about that thing that happened years ago.I was just a kid.
It’s that time of year again.
Labor Day rolls around
and summer comes to a disappointing close;
so ends our brief, innocent repose.
We're back in those uncomfortable desks
She's broken inside
with nowhere to hide,
yet she has everything in the world.
She's got family and friends
and the spoiling never ends.
But what she wants
is just a connection.
Where is he?
Thank you...
For standing by me through thick and thin
For not giving up on me when I didn't win
For your patience when I kept pushing you away
For caring when I said I didn't need you anyway
Why do we go through life in a haze?
Shouldn't we be illuminating the room with a blaze?
Why don't we spend time telling people we care?
Why isn't it at all fair?
Teachers, shouldn't you take time to stare?
She walks with her friends with the biggest and prettiest smile anyone has ever seen.
But what everyone else doesn't see is as soon as they look away, she drops that smile,
You amaze me every day.
And I still get butterflies when you call.
I'm so happy to be your baby.
I'd never think of leaving you at all.
I haven't felt so free
'til I felt the love you've given me.
How are you still here?
Jon, how are you still here
through all my pain and all my tears,
through all of the fears I've laid out
right before you?
I delved into my heart and rambled on
I am my mothers daughter
As she is beautiful, so am I
As she is loving, so am I
As she is caring, so am I
As she is courageous, so am I
As she is graceful, so am I
As she is smart, so am I
You say I don't know shit, but whose teaching me?
You say I won't match up to anything, but whose teaching a student that smarter than them?
Day in and day out.
Everything's the same.
I can't stand it when you call out my name.
Day in and day out.
You spend nine days on a topic
I swear, I'll get a gun and learn how to cock it.
I raise my hand, you call on me.I ask a question, you answer me.I need help, you help me.
We don't do our homework, you lecture us.We don't pay attention, you make us.We don't remember assignments, you remind us.
I convinced myself that the world hated me.
I saw there's no good I could be.
In reality I was the only real bully.
I beat myself up and called myself ugly.
I saw that I all I ever brought was pain.
There’s a part of me that loves.
There’s a part of me that hates.
There’s a part of me that rages.
There’s a part of me that balances it all out.
Love and hate are balanced no more.
Not once in my life have I heard someone say
“Could you spare some change?”; no, they expect we will pay.
They sit with their signs, black words in black scrawl,
and hope as we each walk on by, one and all.
How I see the moonlight
spaying down upon the field
with its fragrant flowers
And wondrous waves of grass
That rolls and rolls as the breeze
I'm down on my fucking knees
I'm crying out oh help me please
No! You stand on your own
Theres no one around they have all left you
Its your turn now its time to save you
Up on the polar ice,
A family looms.
Their beautiful snowy coats
Glistening
In the small sunlight left.
Soon the icy winter
Will pull through.
The cubs snuggle
He looked so sad in photographs;
He looked so scared, so lost, confused,
and yet he laughed.
That tentative half-smile, those distant eyes,
portray a struggle, wounds, and damage.
He feels so isolated
who do you think you are
be aware about what you are saying
gay bi straight we are all the same
we eat the same food we breath the same air
love is love no matter who it's with
How can you love someone you know you aren't suppose to?
Yea, I'm talking about me I just don't know what to do.
The love is so strong..
but it seems SO wrong.
How could something that feels SO right be so wrong..
I've fallen from heaven, down upon the Earthback to the cold world, to the place of my birth
I'm sitting here at night, alone out on the streetwith little clothing on my back and no shoes on my feet.
He is small, such a tiny thing. He loves loud, bright, or shiny things. He's full of laughter, love, and cheer. In Mommy's heart he is darling and dear. His smile gets the attention of many old ladies, They say "So sweet!
I'm sitting here thinking about what to writeit's been years since I tried to learn how to ryhmetyping isn't easyand this is just worsetrying to explain to people that making poetry makes me burst
It’s Just a Heart!
By: Kayla Logan
The marketplace was off to a boring start that day,
Until the cry to gather close, they heard someone say.
Blithe misunderstandings
Happy mistakes
An injustice accepted
History takes its toll, for apathy is as powerful as hate
Blithe misunderstandings
Happy mistakes
An injustice accepted
History takes its toll, for apathy is as powerful as hate
One day: I will wake up in the best mood.
I will go through the day without a single bad thought.
I will put on a smile that is absolutely genuine.
I will be satisfied with how I look.
Here I am, once again
Sitting in the same place, same routine, same faces
I’ve mistaken a change in pace to be progress, a step out of this mess
I’m discouraged at the realization, no longer through the rearview mirror;
I have no heart, So how do I live ? I have no love, so what do I give ? I have no feelings so what do I spill . Why do I have I never have time to chill ? Why does being fake prevent you from being real ?
Love can't be touched;
Love isn't tame;
Love won't give you fame;
I love you so much
i cant help but clutch
my heart that you used as a game.
Life is rough and we all have experienced the bumpy roads
keep your head up and hang in there
you see those bullies? that storm that just crushed your home? the adversities you face everyday?
dont let them get to you
Wondering mind leads you to question how to mend this relationship we so helplessly destroy.
It's like love without a purpose yet love of such chaos brings also moments of joy.
There once was a girl who knew everything,
A witty comeback, an intelligent review, a passing observation
All eloquently exhaled from her blood red lips.
With a transparent snap of her fingers
I know me saying this isn't right
But it's how I feel
I really want to end my life
Yes I am for real
This ring and I have been through it all
Seasons, months, funerals and joy
This ring is my brother, my sister, and friend
Till death do us part this ring is my man
Time together spins a silver flurry
The night wraps around my limbs to comfort
Vital force screams for you from my body
Will, tenet, and my guard are taken down
Affection from you melts me like chocolate
Long brown hair,
Dark, frizzy and out of touch.
Long black lashes,
Glasses that covered her big brown eyes.
Trust Issues
I loved him
I thought we were forever
But he had someone else
He thought he was clever
It’s a hard thing to describe
It’s so hard to explain
Just I can’t help it
Feeling this way
Just the way you smile
The way you sing a song
Makes my heart soar
A million miles away
Feeling alone
Let down
Hurt
Misunderstood
Unloved
Ready to cry at any given moment
Just wanna be hugged, and loved , and held , and asked are you ok
I cry at the most random moments
Sometimes certain situations are just so hard to deal with, other situations are easy, but the hard ones teach you a lesson in life, weather its for the worst or the better.
dam valentines is already hear for real
cuz i need more then a day to show you how i feel
i remember the first day that we met
u had a ponytail n u was wearin sweats
I thought to myself you look kinda cute
I often look to the yellow lillies in the garden on campus
Friends pass me and time shifts
Is it not the success that people want?
Or perhaps it's the driven motive in which we attempt to strive
Unjust it truly is,
He stands alone
Fighting to hold it together, but he's already breaking
Crying the tears that no one should have to shed
Using black to help conceal the pain so red
Smart and funny
Honest and kind
No greater friend
Could one ever find
Tall and handsome
As well as a Kingsmen
You're ranked number one
Smiles and laughs
A bundle of fun
Quiet when needed
I care so much it hurts..
Deep inside my heart,
And now my eyes are open
Because we are apart,
This world is fading.
It is turning dark.
My bright world of smiles,
Has begun to fall apart.
You tell me I'm no good
With every word I say
Everything comes out lies, betrayal, and trust
including your own friends would say
those things
Have you seen the things I've done?
No.
Pain inside,
Dripping down from me like a poisonous surprise,
Why does my heart keep beating,
When all things lovable seem to be fleeting.
Oh joy, the gracious sunrise has come to take me home,
Sadness is so peculiar
It creeps up on you, and then bam,
It hits you with its full force
It overpowers you
And you don’t know what to do
You just sit there, weeping, hoping
There is a castle underneath the Sea,
Under the Moon.
Only those who have lost can see it.
Only the ones that have felt true sorrow.
A man named ignorance evaluates another, eyes blinded and ears deafened,
He watches, but does not see, he hears, but does not understand.
I’m staring into your beautiful eyes,
As we sit away from the world,
What people say about us is only lies,
There’s nothing wrong with me and you.
You know that feeling
When you’re empty and alone
When there is no one you can turn to
Remembering when the sun once shone
You used to be able to laugh
About nothing at all
Sometimes it hurts to live,
To wake up and not have a reason to...
It hurts to move, to remember, to want.
That pain once constantly plagued my heart...
Until I realized there IS a reason.
I'm going to take this time to say,
that this woman is beautiful l in her own way.
From the joy in her smile and the sparkle in her eyes,
proves that there is more than this woman then betwee her thighs.
I’m so glad you’ve moved on
I’m so glad you’ve found better
you finally look like your life is together
I’m so happy you’ve moved on
and found someone that makes you smile
someone that makes you feel
Last days for Dad,
I wasn't really glad,
So naive and harsh,
Mom told me, "I'm done."
"As we change, we're going to have fun."
I sat in the car with relief and despair,
(poems go here) Its da same stuff jus a different day n I'm tired I'm tired of da fussin n fightin da uncontrolable cryin I'm tired of goin 2 bed at 4am thnkn wat if?
A solid heart or a plastic smile? I wonder and ponder on this subject in my class , My teacher distorting history to make plenty cash , I just back and laugh .
Pain in my sight
Feeling like there's no more fight
I can't sleep through the night
With all these tear
feel like it ant real
My Momma my queen
We living in these streets
How does it feel to be let down, lead on, lied to, and hurt
How does it feel to be kicked down, stepped on and treated like dirt
How does it feel to love someone who doesn't love you back
There's a mother caring for her child,
Who has the ability to calm the wild.
Her strength is that of an ox tenfold,
But she is calm, like a wind blown marigold.
Sometimes we fall,
we fall down down down,
into the abyss we go,
untill we hit the bottom.
We hit hard.
Adrenaline rushes through veins.
A rabbit runs along.
“I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.”
I was tried of it all
The profanity
The abuse
The lies I told
My caring parents
I though I couldn’t do anything
But when all of the above
Came into one
I had to do something
Can you see them?
The ones hurting
Crying
Dying
I can
You go on with life
As if nothing’s wrong
Everything’s perfect
But I know you hear them
Whenever my life
Faces challenges
One woman is always around
And when we didn't have nothing
She'll spend her last penny
Just to let me have something
I know one woman in my heart
Shoes against pavement,
Head towards the ground,
Trying to keep out the noises,
Trying to keep out the sound.
Your love never fails me.
It is everlasting.
It is so wonderful that it fills me
with hope and love that's so fulfilling.
You caress me like a mother that's so caring.
These tears I shed fall down my cheeck
these fears I have, I feel so weak
the anger swells, burning inside
soon it might consume me alive
these feelings I have, I must sustain them all
Animals have feelings too,
This is why we should not beat them with a shoe.
Animals should be treated like family,
Just sit back and see.
