Imperfections Make You Unique.

Your poetry

I figured that some, if not most, people on here write a bit of their own poetry. I thought it would be fun to share some with everyone here. If you do write please post some of your work. If you love it brag about it, if you think it needs work then say so (maybe someone can give you a few tips).

Broken

I am broken
my paint is chipped
my strings are in knots
my dress is torn

The puppeteer is angry
because I can't follow
the commands he is yelling
Why are you so rough with me?

Why break me?
I do what you say
I do as you ask
So why me?

Choose another puppet
Make them do something
for once in their life
And leave me alone

I need to be fixed
I need fresh paint
I need new string
I need a new dress

I don't have time
to heal and be fixed
because you keep me so broken
and play so rough

Let me know what you think?

how does it feel to stand alone?
to see the moss and want to go home
to not know the way
day by day
how does it feel to see the sky
to want to go farther
and to want to go high
how does it feel to be like me?
to see the negative
at the worst it could be
how does it feel
to look outside
to feel the pain
to want to hide?
how does it feel to be
an outcast to just walk by
really fast
to try not to look in
peoples eyes
i know they are
talking about me
i heard my name
they say the was i dress
puts my parents to shame
they say i worship saitan
just cause i dont go to church
i walk by and bite my nails
white fingernail
polish with black x's
chipping away
i painted them the other day
im losing my mind
i dont want to say
i hate living in fear
of being this way
to look out the door
with time just passing away
i wish someone would tell me
im okay
that im not falling
ten feet under
to feel sick and
see the thunder
to feel the sun
on a tear stained face

so how does it feel to stand alone?

as I lay lifeless on the bathroom floor
I blanken my mind and hope for something more
I need a reason to be living
a reason to be breathing
and in my heart it cannot comprehend
the illusions of being dead
all the powers couldn't bring me to life
and I cry.............and I cry

and I hear this tapping inside this mess
the devils knocking and I cannot rest
I pray for protection
for another day of hell
that I may lead my life in misery
until my face grows white and pale
and if I make it through this day
I promise I wont curse your name
and i'm gone...............and i'm gone
fall, fall,
I need this, I need this,
crawl, crawl
I need this, I need this,

the room grows silent
and the angels dissapear
and I'm not fighting
I'm repeating another year
and the game gets dirtier
and my eyes begin to burn
I am forever lost
and I cant even turn to you
my heart it's hungry, but the devil steals my food
he devours it right in front of me
and I cry, .and I CRY!

and I remember the days long ago
you forgot my spirit
you forgot this soul
and I lie numb in a puddle of blood
and the serpent licks his fingers
and I'm as good as gone
and my body is rotting
and the door is locked
and the screaming is in my head
and my thoughts go into schock
and I'm craving for this nightmare to end this tradgedy
as my head begins to circle their usless remedies

and because I can't forget the picture
of a world with love and grac
I'll be haunted by those memories
because my path fell out of place
and I'm gone
I need this...I need this...I need this...I NEED THIS!!!!!

my bones have crumbled
and theres nothing left
and my decapitated body is soon put to rest
my eyes, they are frozen and suspended in time
I have died again today
and my soul begins to cry; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Brandon on May 9, 2009 at 2:09am: I haven't got much in terms of the poetry thing...I'm more of a talkative guy, but when that fails I think I can do some fairly decent writing, but then again I've never had it judged...I wrote this one not to long ago (like last week...) for this girl I like and have been (I guess) having a "thing" with as it were...she is kinda cynical and says compliments mean nothing (which kinda weirded me out a lil) but she writes a lot...so I wrote out what I wanted to say to her...and yes I did get the courage up to show her and she liked it so I hope you guys do.

Hmmmm…what do I want to say?
I want to say don’t be afraid
I want to say it will all be ok
I want to say I’m here for you
I want to say I believe in you
I want to say that when your worn thin I’ll be there to protect you
I want to say that I will be the rock you can cling to
I want to say that I will be the hole you can crawl into
I want to say that no matter what I will be there
I want to say you don’t need fixing you are perfect anyway
I want to say that you can always be you with me
I want to say you are stronger than you can imagine
I want to say that out of the many people I know you are
one that does not deserve what she got
I want to say that your not alone
I want to say screw everyone else and their opinions
I want to say that I will be your freedom and your security
I want to say that when you can’t take it anymore I will be there to hold you
I want to say that I can be you’re your person
I want to say that you belong
I want to say that you are home
…I want to say I want you more than anything in the world
But I won’t…I’ll just sit here with my mouth shut,
And let you go on doing what you want
Letting you find your own way
Letting you make your own mistakes
Cause I’m not strong enough to scream it out
To tell you the truth
To let you know where I really stand
To let you know how I really feel
…To let you know I need you; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by JoAna on May 11, 2009 at 4:43pm: all of my writings come from personal experiences through life and things i've thought about. rarely are they ever happy...but that doesn't mean i am not every happy because that is not the case. it's just the part of me that i hide can only be expressed in one way without risking any harm to another or myself...

this one is not so dark...sort of...

i'd like to know what kinds of feelings it brings upon you all...and i want to know what you think it is about...

i'm just curious and want to know how what i write is portrayed to others because i hardly ever share them...

so...have some.

’what if’ never leaves

The truth? The madness which I hide deep inside the bowels of the darkest corner of my soul aches to break free...
It yearns to fully envelope the object of its affection...
to encase and surround it with the unconditional love and passion and care it holds only for it.
Not knowing that it kills and rips and eats apart its fragile host while she goes insane from the multitude of emotional firepower that rains from it.

Sitting in wonder, pondering the 'what if'...

Lying beneath this blanket shielding my body from its well needed rest, I sit and silently cry out 'what if'...

The pain that solidifies my heart is only melted by one other...one other.
So deserving of a loyal love who undyingly forfeits the body, mind and spirit within.
But is it I? I ask.
Now I begin my endeavor through this life as a hypocrite known to all people yet I hide it beneath the smile...yes...

I hide my heart behind my smile...; ▶ Reply to This
