When I die
Grind my bones and ash
To a fine powder
Then dye the powder any colors that will make you smile again
And make me art
Make me a sculpture
A mosaic
A color-filled bottle
We come from all walks of life,
For some reason brought together here.
Learning how to reach new heights,
Learning how to cope with our fear.
There's got to be purpose underlying it all,
I sincerely miss
Playing With
The child inside
But now he cries.
There was a time
When he could see sunshine
But now he's scared
He came to life unprepared.
On the ground he lay
How does one fill a void inside?
Who is there in which I can confide?
I'd like to say I need to swallow my pride,
But there's none left, so now I'll just hide.
Look up to the sky friends,
Can you see the coming end?
Red rock falling from the sky,
Hidden by flames, beautiful disguise.
Say your last prayer, beg for eternity;
The unlikelyhood no longer worries me.
We are offended by things so temporary,
Things that will soon cease to be.
We are offended by those who are offended
But they too will be gone, don’t you see?
Night and day come and go, media abounded.
within Zieglerville, pennsylvania
genuine snow white hair
upon her noggin doth adorn,
perhaps she will divulge to me (in private)
after i croon (to said lass),
the melody of Jimmy Crack Corn
Life is morbid
like candles flame sizzling out from the cold wind at night
that can be lit time and time again
yet eventually it will meet it's end.
point is... when will I let mine die?
50 Shades of not just Grey By: Vivian Ngo
There’s only 6 colorson the spectrum.Red, Orange, Yellow,Green, Blue, and Purple.That’s how I was taught.
I lay broken and confused because the past that has held me back for so long. Along came a glorious man who held out his hand and saved me from the dead. He held my hand on our treacherous leap of faith.
It hid in the creases of my story books, nibbling away at the stanzas,Chewing across the pages as I, just a tike, lay at night.It sat on my window and sill and waited for years to pass.For knowledge to seep into my skull.
I’ve always wondered how wonderful the world would be if we all just embraced each other
A hug for one person to another
A kiss to make somebody’s day
Some loving to make the pain go away
Metaphorically I am a simile,
like an allusion,
I AM an oxymoron,
a flagrant euphemism,
a hyperbolic faux-pas,
so masculine, I could metonymously eat a feminist,
See your flower is delicate
Delegates of angels persuade to me you're heaven sent
But you know how the devil is..
With his disquises
Almost Compromised me
From the ground grew a violet
You know what I want to hear?
A rape joke
I want to hear you joke about a traumatic experience
I want to hear you joke about my traumatic experience
And when I don't laugh
I had a dream last night,
Too real to be ignored.
It started out inside
The mind's sequestered storm.
Latching on to things that stick.
Holding tight, but losing grip.
Adhesive wears and tape grows dry,
But time extends in Elmer's eyes.
Concrete blocks on the sidewalk
A bounce in every step
A beam for each passing face
A passion firing to every heart
A simplistic reminder
Waves of blue I always see
The scene is cold and lonely here
Why can't you see the good in me
I cry out to you in sweet misery
You never listen, you just see right through
I'm on top of the world he said
in the next breath,
he proclaimed, That we all fall.
Its kind of funny how we're all taught,
how we all bought into the lies that we all sought.
There was once a girl
who had given so much
of her heart away
that one day,
after giving her last piece,
she fell asleep listening to
Bon Iver,
and doed of a broken and
missing heart.
My experience with love is
painful
unforgettable
betrayal
Eight months making
memories
moments
music
Proving people wrong with clashing
thoughts
personalities
Understand that
not everyone is the same
when you think about it
where did people get the "standard" for criticizing people
since when did not wearing brand name clothes
become the definition of
Today is the day I will be heard
Today I will emerge out of this shyness
I will let the world know
I no longer will stand injustice!
Today is the day I will be heard
Today I will say
For all we know, we could have died years ago.
Our sleepless, immobile bodies floating around, waiting to be kissed by the Earth to start over and begin a new life.
For all we know, life is one big dream.
the first time i hated myself, i was 9 years old.
groups of soulless children followed me around the schoolyard
calling me diseased ridden, disgusting, fat...
the laughed as my tears splashed on the table at which i sat
The waves of fire,
roll across the sky.
The stained ebony river
flows beneath the bridge,
that bears witness to
a murder. And the
frightened elderly man-
the eyewitness to the
No matter where I go, I can't explain away,
the limitless attraction to a girl who knows her way.
She's a mystery to us all,
and a puzzle to a tee,
a conundrum to her parents,
The first time I saw you, you were sitting at a lunch table reading the first book of the Harry Potter series alone.
Leafs leave in the winter
and return in the spring.
Like how the elderly pass
and babies are born.
we laugh, live, and learn.
boys and girls play,
clothes are torn.
Then we feel a lovers burn
We might only have one last time together
To walk along the halls and hold the memories forever
Our last moments at the lockers between classes
I saw a picture of you in the mirrorI realize I've become what I fearAmeliorate me, and then you walked awayTie my mouth shut - there's nothing left to say
She clings to her rules
As tightly as she ties her bun
No piece out of place,
Polished and proper.
For her there is only one;
One way to answer
One way to think
One way to question
Let me take y’all back
Back in time
Somewhere between the nights
Somewhere without the lights
Where you were the only person in my life
That can make this thing we call lust feel so right
grey hallways,
close us in,
trapping our imagination ,
trained to fight, trained to win,
similar to prison,
I wish it weren't true,
wondering about what awaits for me in the big wide blue,
The meaning of life,
Who knows what it is,
Is is finding a wife,
Or the pursuit of riches.
Is life finding the meaning of true love,
Or finding a love for adventure,
The many kisses you share,
I am

recognized.
Grandules measured
by two sets
of metaled
hands.
My mind
a split open galaxy,
bleeding
Destroyed from the inside out,A tragedy sinners do not mourn.No pity for a star.
Here bright and burning,Here dark and cold,Alive as a star,Dead as a star.
This is my first time putting my stuff out there. Wrote this when i was 14- 15. thanks.
red rose, red rose, oh what, do you say?
For alas and alack... He took my life away.
In my puzzle,
The pieces mold together, and can’t be rearranged.Each piece stands for a part of me,And every completed section,Is a window,Looking into my past.
One side is where your on the inside looking out
And the other is when your on the outside looking in
There is nothing in between except that clear glass that allows you to see through that wall in front of you
Paintings are the sky in many colors,
She looks and observes as well as many others,
Green as the grass as she is the color of life,
Shining through the dark scaring the demons of the night,
I have a dream
And as I say these words, I feel the word dream fade away
The nightmare takes its place and the only thing we dream of is a new dawn
And I’m not talking about it breaking in two parts—Twilight
Why I write? I write because it’s right and its fundamental value can compensate for what I’m feeling. I write to tell the story of my life, what I’ve done, where I’ve been, what’s my meaning?
Life is what you make of it
You choose what you do
You make your own decisions
No one can do things for you
It's all on you
People surround you everyday
Times may be hard
But
All I ever wanted was to be beautiful.
Like new mothers,
like flickering candles in dark rooms
like flowers pressed into books
like new shoes...
Click-snap-bang-boom,
range gun shot in zoom lenz,
don't step on my toes,
ill step on your toes too,
you at the barrel of a gun (I say boom) ,

i shot your ex to get to you,
