The day they said
the world was to end
and so the day the world waited for with fears
but no signs of it all
and the day's work went as usual and on schedule
and some as late as usual
When youre all alone and you think no one is around. When you think no one else see's what youre doing. Look up to the sky, forgot about him, did you? God knows all and see's all.
The reflection oppressed upon me
cannot comprehend what’s beneath
my faltered skin and battered complexion
or amount to my heart that beats
passionately for music and
the lines of my poetry.
He's silent in a hundred different ways. Yet in his silence, count the many times he's made you FEEL. Never forget:
In time and chance
Maybe we can all dance
Up and Down the world so green
Why do people have to be so mean
Time can change anybody's name
And yet people remain the same
Sometimes things go wrong
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view

Chances are you could find love
Chances are you can be happy
Chances are you have to shove
Surrounded by darkness
The light always burns at night
Gravel crunches underneath the tires as I pull up
I see him standing on the side of the house
Covered half by light and the other half
By darkness.
You're always emergency room crisis, broken knucklesSometimes blood isn't always meant to be poetic, kid You keep betting your life, wishing against. what's the bid? The big pyramid scheme of existence
***This was written in 8th grade. Our not-so-bright teacher wanted the class of 13 year olds to write a romantic love poem. I felt left out because I'd never even been in a relationship, must less been in love.
I am beautiful
Not the size 2, flawless skin, model type
But the stretch marks, dark brown eyes, curvy type.
Love finally found me, alone in my room, despair had eclipsed this old heart like the moon, covering the Sun and blinding my eyes, I called out to God and He heard my cries, I still feel the pangs of being alone, left here to suffer my mind is st
They say it doesn't matter.
That they can fix things
With some pills, or a rope
And everything will be okay.
“Why keep going?” they say.
“Nothing that I do matters.”
“Nothing can help me.”
I'm human
I am loved
I am flawless and I don't apologize.
You're human
You are loved
You are flawless and should never apologize
We are humans
We are loved and We love
Yeah, I quit, so what?
Our team was terrible, it sucked
You could tell from the first games
That weren’t on the same page
I was hitting the ball, getting triples
She walks in her room
picks up her razor, grabs the pills
she sits down on her bed, and she cries
"Why? Why me!" she screams
Everyone sighs
Some may even roll their eyes
I am …..
Broken.
By the strong reigns that peer pressure pulls towards me.
Constantly fighting the battle of not being lonely
No real father in my life honestly it’s not by choice
You were my legs,
What kept me moving forward.
You were my eyes,
What made me see the beauty in myself.
You were my fists,
Which protected me from uncertainty.
You were my heart,
Batteries don't last forever
Juice oozes with every standing O
Your rays and beams lit up
Penetrated the humorless
The light was sold with every ticket
The silver screen molded into a stake
DreamsOf regret and painRattle around in my head--Abandoned thoughts,And untouched memoriesooze from my sleep,And into my ear--Spilling onto my pillowand leaving a stain
A mother's love is so deep and true there is nothing she wouldn't do for you. A mother's love will always and forever try to protect you and keep you from feeling blue. A mother's love will be there for you on a drop of a dime.
Your eyes are bright
So full of life
Your touch is warm
Like a radiant beam of light
I dream of you often
Of holding you tight in my arms
When I'm around you I'm speechless
Soft words, sweet
Soft hands, warm
Leaves me giddy, breathless
Innocent and never knowing
loving, falling hard...
and you
ever knowing, sweet nothing
to you
I am nothing
In this place ridden with fear,
Where every man is bound to shed a tear.
This place that we are taught to call home,
Soon becomes a place we feel alone.
Quarantined in our own fears,
He loves, I love.
He smiles, I smile.
He’s happy, I’m happy.
He change, I’m confused.
He, I, and many memories.
He loves, I’m sad.
He smiles, I cry.
He’s determined, I’m disappointed.
It can go away so easily
All this pain, this fear
This loneliness, these tears
I can make it go away.
It can go away so easily
Just three pills too many
A small slit to a fragile wrist
How was it so easy to change on me
We use to be so deeply in love
That when you were sad,
I cried
When I was hot ,
You Sweated
When i thought,
You reacted
If you had an enemy
Not going to let another day pass me byEven though my hair maybe a messAnd I'm not going to lieI don't always pass the test
But I'm going to let the world know that I'm flawless
Me and You
I was your love and you were my babe
Sounds cliche and cheesy but why not hun
Just a couple of kids who secretely liked the other for years
But this was not known until recent
Light fixtures hide your fissures
You long for reassurance.
We weren't sure of your intentions
Still i double tapped for insurance.
Perhaps it was the meaning
Perhaps the polarized blight
people keep wondering what the definition of love is. some say its when two individuals have strong feelings for each other, or sex, maybe even abuse.
My heart is bursting
with fire I suppose;
The feeling is always mutual
But I will propose;
That my emotions are changing for the better
My heart is clearly broken
Love won't you come back, and be my best friend, won't you please give me your heart and soul once again, won't you whisper your sweet song and stand by my side, won't you be my fair maiden, my queen and my bride, won't you give me your hand as w
There is nothing more beutiful in life than love.
It's the glue that holds everything together, the thing that makes life more sweet,
Being girl and growing up watching Disney classic
You think we all love the princesse
Not this girl, I fell in love with the Genie played by Robin Williams
His death shocked the nation
Why does life taunt us?
Pining a little purple butterfly,
To the ground.
Why don't you fight? I ask him.
'Because I can't.' he replies.
Well, why not? I ask.
'Because they don't want me too.'
pain fills my chest
as I remember when you layed on my breasts
It kills me to walk this way,
the way we went when you were bae.
For 3 years I called you mine.
I'm not scared of relationships,
I want a relationship.
I want to hold someone's hand while they drive down an open road.
I want to kiss their forehead when they feel sick.
its hard letting go of something you've been struggling to hold onto.
especially when its hurt you more than it has helped you.
but it'll hit you one day when you're holding someone else's hand while they're driving,
For years we meandered to jaded drums
Lives transfixed on the repeatable bursting boulevards
In dreams we cradled love’s aching call
Its siren song- we marched to diminishing redoubtable chords
Sitting on the couch, listening to Her family argue with each other. Sitting silently, She wonders why they hate Each other so much. They tell her she’s not good enough, But other people say she is.
i remember all the memorable lies that you once told me,
while that was a partial cause that kept me lonely,
for the fact of a love that i thought was true,
do you remember the words of me saying i love you,
Well I just wanted you to know that I was here
I am here
I am here like that tooth brush you grab every morning
Or when you close your eyes and darkness meets you instantly
I am here.
forever, its a strong word that keeps us all attracted,
from love that we fall from to love that we practice,
you meet that one person who can make your wrong, right,
Roses are red, Violets are blue, there will never be a doubt in my mind that i will always love you!
As I look at them, a prequel unfolds
In this aura colorblindness persists
But look closer and the lines seem to bold
The two identical souls coexist
As time goes on, the story does begin
If my words were to not have a filter on them then I would say what's truly on my mind. I would speak words that come from my soul. I would let people know how I feel, I would let them know the words I should have said that are now too late to
Me without a filter.Sad and cold as winterHappy seems so UnfamiliarThink my heart has died and witheredLast time I smiled, i was with her.And now she’s goneLeft me all aloneWhat did I do wrong?

As
I lie wide awake,
I pray to The Lord,
"Please, for my sake,
if the one I love does not love me back,
may your light shine on me before I attack;
myself."
“The family and friends of mine,
I dont love, I dont love...
Friends of mine don't show up all the time,
Still have me in their mind,
Borrow my pain, reimburse cheers,
My love has gone away, unfortunately, he swayed.
I know your smart, therefore I need your heart.
I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am,
When I'm with you.
I love you,
Not for what you made of yourself,
But for what...
You are making of me.
Laying in bed
Wanting to be with my boo
Wishing I were dead
Because I cant live without you
Her heart aches so much that she doesn’t know how she’s going to make it through the night
Without hearing his voice, feeling his touch, without him by her side
Painful shots, routine meds
Breath stopping moments, heart wrenching seconds
We were there, in that moment of time when we were together
They make the light so something funny, to put that sparkle in his eyes.
they even make your lunch act weird, but you'll call it butterflies.
They make you fall for the cheesiest pick-up lines.

It's 12 am and I'm starting to realize that I literally want no one else but you and I only want to touch and draw on your skin and I only want your hands on me and I only want to comb my fingers through your hair and I only want your lips to e
There’s this thing called ghost lines
Pieces of poems never to be completed
Floating for a purpose inside your soul
Ghost lines,
Rocky spine, left in the night
fragile skin that reflects the light.
Rocky spine, growing strong
marks that show what went wrong.
Rocky spine, with a smile so bright
eyes that sparkle in the night.
One day you were there
By my side
Hand in hand
Than one day you left
No words were spoken
you
Were
Gone
Waiting for you
Hoping someday
You'll return.
I met you a year ago, never thought id feel this way
I look into your eyes, I see love and my heart wants to celebrate
When we first locked eyes that summer afternoon,
You left me, in the most innocent sense, breathless.
I knew that I would fall in love with you
And I thought it was worth the risk.
Silly boy, oh silly boy
watch me while I get used like a toy
abused by his words and fade through his actions
how in the hell could this shit have happened ?
You knew I loved you more than anything in this world
If I could, I would give you the world and much more
but instead you couldn't appreciate what you had and
now my heart is so cold and bitter.
Its odd that the feelings are still there
even after you left
one word reminds me of you and it is like the millions of memories flash through me mind
the pain is unbearable
Sitting here alone with you
makes me wish I was yours forever.
Wishing you felt that way too,
Waking up everyday like
man what a dream,
Another image of you
seperated by worlds
It all happened in the blink
of a eye, I fell for you
and everything just seemed right
Waking up every day
like man what a dream,
Another image of you
seperated between worlds.
It all happened in the blink
of an eye, I fell or you
and everything just seemed right.
can you not see that
there is no happy
ending for people like
us
this only ends when
one of us is dead
and the other decides
to move on or
grieve eternally
please dont ask me to
write about our love
or about us at all
because i can only
write poetry
on the things that kill me
and if you want a
poem from me
You didn't tell me you
loved me
in so many words
but in the way you
looked at me
and held me
you didn't tell me
goodbye
in so many words
I was in love. And you were too.we were together, through and through.but you left me alone, Stranded in an ocean of my tears.it was the end. Of me. Of you. Of us. Of who we were.
Are we just a flower beginig to blom in the warm spring weather ?
Or a leafe changeing its color from green to red?
we are the butteflies in our belly and the glint in my eyes.
man my minds a train wreck so explosive but nobody knows what's going on cuz I show no emotion. I don't feel the need to tell people my problems.simply because my problems are my problems.
My heart was once your home.
Lucky for the girl who have your heart now
Lucky, for she finally captured what was once mine.
Be happy, I know you already are.
I want to be happy for you
My hand
Reaches out
To try and
Destroy the darkness
And the distance between us
You are so close
Yet
You are so far
away
Please
Don't go
Away
Hair bright as a summers day
Eyes the color of the ocean
You can see the happiness slip away
hes trapped by an immature devotion.
His soul as warm as a fires flame
has gone cold as ice
Crawling into bed
Your heart beats against his
Interlocked in an embrace
Two bodies connected, forming one
Puzzle pieces fitting together
Moving in harmony
Paddling to shore
X marks the spot
MANY WILL BE LEFT TO FACE SORROW AND GRIEF!
ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF.
A TIME OF WHICH MANY HAVE FEARED,
MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS HAVING DISAPPEARED.
IN YOUR MINDS EYE PLEASE TRY TO CAPTURE,
First thing I see, the one in my eye
I’ve known you for years but unrecognized
Why you think I’m gone
But appear in front of you
In thought I’m brave and bold
In life I’m shy and nervous
No, I don’t think you’re crazy
A little eccentric, maybe
But I’ve always loved you like that
Don’t I always have your back?
I was never the one to judge you
Instead I’ve always tried to nudge you
In becoming of what you dreamed
You look at me with that smile
makes me feel like I can run for a mile,
till you trip me with your sexual statements and volgarity,
you hooked me in the beginning, made me feel special
The feeling of my forehead pressed against yours
Your touch, as always, making my heart soar
To be completely honest I'm a little nervous]
Your face coming closer leaves me breathless
You do not see me but I am there
I kiss your face and I stroke your hair
I hold your hand every step of the way
I am here with you every day
Many times you take me for granted and forget me
Her touch like rain drops falling gently on the lawn
Her beauty like the sun rising at dawn
Her comfort and care like a bird watching her nest
My mother makes sure to give us only the best
Her reflection appears and she wants to cry
But she remembers how she looks in his eyes
He floods her mind with things she once thought lies
Her heart fills up with butterflies
The silence screams through the noise
The blindness crawls through the images flashing by her eyes
The anger hides behind a mask of smiles
The tears stream but they can't be seen through the look of laughter upon her face
Reading between the lines until the lines fade to white
So snowflakes fall there out of sight, yet glistening like his eyes
As they look through my soul and to my heart, crawling through
“Pretty girls like you shouldn’t be alone”, he says
As his tongue skates on her collarbone
She’s never felt the love of a man, of a father
So she paints her face and oils her breasts
The chest aches.
The emotions swell.
It's too late to apply the brakes,
Because I already rell.
A face with no expression.
A heart far from repair.
Nothing strikes an impression,
What is love, be it a red blushing rose?
You shall not see it yet until it grows,
Yet when it does, don’t get an overdose,
What does it survive on, no person knows?
If the thorns grow sharp, be sure to hold tight,
So what if this is the end?
What if this is goodbye?
What if fire starts to ravagely roar from the sky?
This is it for our memories we've made in our lives.
So stop thinking about the future, and listen to me now.
I'm doing better
She says she hears it
In the sound of my voice
And I wonder if she hears
You in there too
The worst thing you can say
He was my summer love the year of twenty twelve
He was my everything for him I'd do anything
he was what I needed and maybe if I pleeded,
I'd get another chance or at least a last dance.
On the ground were my feet, my head in the clouds
As I dreamt of a place that can never be found:
“A place with no pain, a place with no sorrow,
A place where there’s always a brighter tomorrow.
I was always a shy girl in the past,
Always finding love that would never last.
And recently my heart was broken,
By a lying, cheating man who used it for poking.
No one realizes,
They say she's all smiles,
always getting a good grade,
They don't think she will fade.
But what you don't know,
she goes home and the tears flow.
she hates herself,
Close to breathClose to touchClose to in-betweenHardest rockAnd breathless nightCover beneath the seamsAre you there?Or are you not?Our eyes darkened like cavesYour black night cave eyes
I wish.... I want to be there to hear the sigh.Feel it fill up within your chestAnd hear it rush out your nostrilsAs it does through mine.and to see it in your eyes.That would be beautiful.
Forget this town.Now I remember why I left.I don't need you now.
Maybe this is a sign.You might have beenjust a phase to me.
Getting over youwon't be easy.It'll take time.
It's the last year of imprisonment
The last of my safety
One says it's a step to a new life
Perhaps, the closing of youth...
Is it death?
Never have I ever
Felt the uttermost dread
They say young love doesn't last long. I'm hoping we can prove them wrong. Let's take it back to when we first met. You was posted up looking at the basketball net. The first thing I notice was your eyes.
If I wanted to die I would have swam the depths of your touch
And if I wanted to hurt I would have broken to the sound of my own cry
But with you there and I’m so far away,
There is nothing left for me to deny.
The stars look down and they smile.
We lay in the grass looking up.
Hand in hand we are alone,
insignificant dots in the scheme of things.
Together, we will watch the world end.
The Misled Queen
“Ayo bitchass” is the way she would greet me as she walked into the locker room
Her hair glistened from the shadow of the sun smiling at the ocean at sundown; Rapunzel could not touch her.
In a world where goodis not good enoughand perfection is an endnever quite attained
I am trapped
Today is the end of the world
Everyone is gonna die
Get together with the ones you love
Be prepared to say goodbye
Shit, at least we die together
I’m still sad, I’m still crying.I miss you and I know that I shouldn’t care anymore. But it's so hard to let go . You were my best friend boo and I miss you. I’m not supposed to be thinking about you anymore .
I think involuntarily upon a distant shore,
That placard of choice is miles away –
Sweet child, I wanted more
Than tranquil hope speckled with a superfluous sea,
Gaspard knew before us all of the tremulous roar
I spent all day crying over you again. I can’t stop it hurts so much. So maybe you don’t love me as much as I love you.OKAY. FINE.
It's the year 2013 and I thought the system worked differently,
I was killed over a year ago and my killer is still free.
As I walk this dark graveyard, I am filled with rage!
I wish you were with me right now, so you could see the tears spilling out of my eyes. If you saw me cry, would you change your mind? I wish you could hold me close and whisper that everything will be alright.
A beautiful young girl live at home,
Not yet old enough to live alone.
Living by her parents rules,
She never undertsood why they where so rash and cruel.
Sometime down the road she made a new friend,
She made me cry.
She left a scar.
She hurt me every way possible.
She didn't mean to.
She didn't mean not to.
She still did.
Through the Fog
I can't see
Through the fog
it's hard to believe
Through the fog
I don't know me.
Through the fog
I see light
Through the fog
I'm gaining sight
Through the fog
Ten year old boy holds his mother tight to his chest
as she once held him.
Now he protects her as best a boy can,
knowing only the unknown.
His over sized shirt stained with his mother's tears
