I write songs and stuff all the time, and I noticed that no one has started a topic for poetry, so here goes.

This is a song I wrote about a year ago. It's one of the few happy songs that I've written and I think it's definitely one of the more beautiful.

You know I'll never climb the highest mountain.
And you know I'll never swim the deepest sea.
Can't keep throwing all my wishes in this fountain,
But I sincerely wish you'd come for me.

Can't say I'll always be wise with my money.
Can't promise that I'll always treat you right.
But if I found you on my doorstep, honey,
I'd kiss you 'till the morning light.

Cause I need you more than
Anyone else
And I love you more than
Life itself
And if you look beyond my imperfections
It would help
Cause I need you more than...

I spend a lot of time singing disapprovals
When all you've ever done is make me smile.
So I've written you a melodic renewal.
Hopefully these words will go 10,000 miles.

My heart beats faster anytime I'm near you
And my tongue slips words I didn't know exist.
I'm praying you feel the same way about me too.
If you didn't I fear I'd have to insist.

Cause I need you more than
Anyone else
And I love you more than
Life itself
And if you look beyond my imperfections
It would help
Cause I need you more than
Anyone else.

I know that I don't have the perfect figure.
And oftentimes my words don't come out well.
When I'm leaving your house I know I linger,
It's not like I could help the way I fell.

In conclusion I know these words are worth nothing.
They can't stop hunger or even fight disease.
But know that you heard them sure means something
To this silly soul that rests inside of me.

Cause I need you more than
Anyone else
And I love you more than
Life itself
And if you look beyond my imperfections
It would help
Cause I need you more than...
Yes I need you more than
Anyone else
And I love you more than
Life itself
And if you look beyond my imperfections
It would help
Cause I need you more than...
Yes I need you more than...
Anyone else.



I urge you all to share your poetry.

It's so pretty!! I would post my poems up here but.. umm.. no.
*cough* no.
Maybe, I'll think about it. But it really is good!

I'll post this one 'cause I wrote it when I was 11.. or 12.. yea!

Mr.Pan
You say you can take me
to so many worlds
so just take me
and end our quarrels
hold my hand and dont let go
Neverland Ho!
Mr.Pan hold me tight
for in the night
may come fright
the shodows of ghosts
and death to come
I quiver and shake
with all the fear
Mr.Pan dont let them near
Mr.Pan who says he can
will take me to neverland
where i can live and never die
maybe even learn to fly
but not live a horrid life like before...


It's kinda depressing for an 11 year old.. as I look at it... hmm..

Depressing? A little bit. Beautiful and amazing? Definitely.

Poetry can be beautiful even if it does come out sounding sad.

Here's a song I wrote earlier today:

Splash down,
Avoid touching ground,
Cause all you've ever wanted
Is fluid.
Those high voltage lights
In the sky
Can never ever penetrate
The surface.

Think of their eyes
You delivered demise
Those girls will never say...

Break a leg,
Cause you step on hearts.
All you ever do
Is satisfy your lust.
Sinking down
To the ocean floor.
When you going to realize
Air is a must?

Drift on
The current can pull you
But high tides never
Made a man float.
Your fear
Only paralyzes.
Your arms and legs
Can't make another stroke.

Picture their faces
All the time that they wasted on you.

So break a leg,
Cause you step on hearts
All you ever do
Is satisfy your lust.
Sinking down
To the ocean floor.
When you going to realize
Air is a must?

This one had a good body
This one, a pretty smile.
That one's sense of humor
Was the perfect style.
But anytime they'd say they loved you
You fell through the air
Toward the swirling ocean
Looking back without a care.
I'm sad to say, you're stuck, my friend
You brought yourself here
Sinking and drinking generous gulps
Of your overwhelming fear.

I should say
Break a leg,
Cause you step on hearts.
All you ever do
Is satisfy your lust.
Sinking down
To the ocean floor.
When you going to realize
Air is a must?

Break a leg,
Cause you step on hearts.
All you ever do
Is satisfy your lust.
Sinking down
To the ocean floor.
When you going to realize
Air is a must?

When you going to realize?
When you going to realize?
When you going to realize
That you're drowning?




I think I tried to hard to sound poetic, but oh well.

That one is pretty too! And you really think that one is good? I haven't written poetry in like.. a year... but that one I wrote FOREVER ago.

I absolutely think your's is good! :D

It conveys an inner turmoil that I could never be able to put into words. Actually a lot of people can't. Plus it's really mature for an 11 year old, so you should be proud. I love how you used Peter Pan as your escape route. Very original for today's standards.

mmk another from back when. Still not posting any recent.

Back Forth

An ache in my heart
a tear on my face
holding my head
and rocking
back and forth
closing my eyes
from the world
trying to escape
all the dread
holding my head
and rocking
back and forth.
A clenching fist,
anger in my heart
your pain in my head
I wanna let it go
but I can't seem to
So I hold my head
and rock
back and forth


How Much you <3 Me (yea, it was a little heart instead of the word)
Save me from this nightmare
wake me from this hell
your crushing me in grip
please just let me slip
let me drop
and drop and drop
let me go
because I know
how much you love me
__
(no name)

I hide from the world
and hide from the pain
my problems overwhelming
my head is filled with stress
and I really must confess,
the moment you walk in,
stress is no more
problems are nothing
just you
and me.
Just you,
and me.

__
If ignoring you is useless, and yelling does not help
if fighting is a nuisance, then tell me,
how do I make you STOP?
All of your antics
all of your names
and the cruel games,
how oh how
Can I make them go?
how oh how,
do I make them STOP?
Tell me,
Help me, figure this out.
_
Thats all the ones I could find NOW but yea.. I think I was going through alot when I was 11...

Wow...Yeah, you must have had some deep thoughts and feelings you wanted to express back then. Very beautiful regardless...

I don't know which one I want to post next, so I'm just going to wait until inspiration hits me again.

oooh post post post! Your poems make me feel more creative! ^_^

Alright...here's one I wrote when I was going through a difficult time with my boyfriend/this other guy who ended up using me.

Trying to sleep
Gonna shut my eyes.
Unconsciousness is my
Best disguise.
Not gonna dwell
On the things that I have done.
It's not like I meant to
Hurt anyone.

Trying to move but
I feel so numb.
I cry when I laugh
Cause my heart is stung.
And I'm gonna dwell
On the things that I have done.
It feels like I just
Hurt everyone.

I want to live.
I just want you to live.
Please can you forgive me?
Cause I just want us to live
Happily.

I walk down the street
As I kick a can.
My heart belongs
In a no man's land.
Trapped between two rights
That they say are wrong.
If this were easy
I wouldn't sing this song.

The world's alive
But I feel so dead.
Replaying every word
That I've ever said.
Don't think I'll
Forgive myself.
I know you don't see it
But I've been through hell.

I just want to live.
I want you to live.
Please can you forgive me?
Cause I just want us to live
Happily.

If there's anything
That I can do
That'll pull me close
Right next to you
I would.
I would.
If there's anything
That I can say
That'll end those tears
And make you stay
I'll tell.
I'll tell.
Cause I want you to live.

I want to live.
I just want you to live.
Please can you forgive me?
Cause I just want to live.
I want you to live.
Please, please, please
Forgive me.
Cause I just want to live.
I just want you to live.
I want us to live
Happily.




This song was mainly directed toward my boyfriend now, because we went through a really difficult time where I wasn't sure if he was the right one for me. So, yeah, I ended up breaking up with him and dating another guy for 2 months (which was a HUGE mistake) and when I was between the two of them, I ended up crying for an entire night and writing this. It's one of my favorites, even though Joe (that's my boyfriend) doesn't like it too well.

But enough about the past. I'm still trying to forgive myself.

I almost cried!! It was great! I think I'll find some more recent poems and post them... but they aren't as depressing I don't think...
I have to hunt them down tho.

Alright, sweet!

I want to post another one, but I'm afraid it's too...well...dirty for the board, so if you want to know it, I'll probably have to message/email it to you, haha.

Thought I'd get involved... Guess how I was feeling when I wrote it. It's called 'Last words'

I ran a thousand miles
Then ran a thousand more
Just to find my mind
And see blood on the floor

I know that I was wrong
That me and you aren't meant to be
And yet something about you
It still calls to me

I know you won't forgive me
So I won't even try
To come once again and face you
I won't make you cry

Before I leave just know this
I'm sorry for what I did
Sorry for the pain I've caused
Sorry I ever lived

I hope you see what I have done
To my very soul
And hope you never see life as I do
Through a half-closed door

The windows of my life
They are tainted red
And in my fury I shall go
And lay down on that bed

When you find me once again
I will be no more
Just a body lieing dead
Seen through that half-closed door

Wow...you were definitely feeling depressed. :(

It's still beautiful, though. Just like I've been telling Robyn, it could be the saddest, most emo poem in the world, yet still be amazing.

I like it.

Thanks. Here's one from my old Flame siggy from a diff site I might use on here...

The death eaters will never fall
Because they always answer to his call
When I arrive people stare
Because they know he's calling me to his lair

They never fell
They never shall
For they are the death eaters
The cause's loyal supporters

I am more
By his law
For I am his pearl
I am his girl

Ooooh, I really like that one :D

Lol. I'm digging up the old ones from the net because all my new ones are at my mums....

A few words

I hear it always,
calling me,
taking me towards it,
I feel its breath on my face,
feel its touch on my skin,
Death in near,
I can sense it.

Before I go,
A few words,
of my ending life,
learn to love,
learn to speak truth,
learn to feel sadness,
learn to cry.

Now I'm gone,
Never to be seen again,
with the sorrow it brings,
comes new life,
cherish that life,
love it,
hold it when it cries.

No title

If you look at me what do you see?
My parents or me?
I am my own person,
why can't u see?
Is it because of what I've done?

Do you believe that i can change?
Or am I stuck in my game?
In a place I don't want to be?
Is it really up to me?

So I'll leave you with those questions,
and then you can judge me,
because I changed,
Because I wished it to be.

Lost love

Can we try again,
To rekindle the fire,
Which once burned in our hearts,
The blackened fire,
Which deissappeared many moons ago.

My mind is left fragile,
My heart broken,
I want only to hear the words,
'I love you'
Like you always used to say.

I miss feeling you near me,
Wish I could hear your voice,
So tell me,
Can you still feel it?
Is it still there?

I need the answer,
I need it bad,
Until then I'll wait,
Forever bad,
Forever with a heart so dead.

The howl

It sat and sang a song to me,
That wolf sat next to the sea,
And it was so inticate,
That I thought I would be late,
To arrive at the casino.

It sang a song of sorrow,
It sang a song of love,
It sang of dissapointment,
And how you must move along,
It was a beautiful song.

And if you want to hear it,
All you have to do is sit,
And listen in the darkness,
To hear it's beautiful song.

It's a song of sorrow and sadness,
Of how it came to end,
Of how the man killed her mate,
How she didn't realise,
Until it was too late.

So before you kill it,
Before you do that wrong,
Go and sit in the darkness,
Listen to it's song.

Then maybe you will understand,
The sadness it would bring,
If someone were to come,
Shoot your lover,
Take your kids.

Maybe then you'll stop and think,
What sadness will this bring,
To his family out there,
The horror in your life,
To think of what you did.

Remember if you do it,
Your life will not be whole,
Sat behind the bars,
In some prison alone.

Noone will come to see you,
noone will really care,
Because you took an innocent life,
And brought sorrow on there family,
Brought hatred to your own.

Then one day they'll take you,
To that electric chair,
And you'll be sat there strapped in,
With a fearful stare,
You'll know what's about to happen.

Then it will,
And then again,
Great pain until you die,
But noone will cry.

English homework

So much good in England,
The beautiful landscape,
At which people gape,
Or our record in cricket,
Yes: We know how to hit a wicket,
Maybe the fact we have a queen,
And one that is not mean,
Plus the fact that we walk free,
Why it means so much to me,
All these things to make us proud,
No wander we cheer so loud.

But what about all the bad,
Our arrogance is so sad,
Then there is obesity,
Almost as bad as in New York city,
And what about our weather?
It could be a little better,
Plus there is all the crims,
That does not go away with crime,
Why did we go to war?
Why is England such a bore?

Secret love

A silent shadow hangs
Just over my head
Unseen by most
But seen by me
It just stays there constantly

A shimmer of light
Penetrates the cloud
Why it's he
My secret shroud

I love him so
My love
My life
Forever to be held by

Good and bad

From the pits of hell it bounded
A black form of dark and fury
It red eyes burning with open hate
It's strength unmatchable.

It was on the day it came
That another creature appeared
It's pelt white,
It's eyes blue.

Little did we know,
That these forms were just one,
For everything has good,
And everything has bad.

You are very articulate. Definitely a better writer than myself.

I especially liked Secret Love and Good and Bad.

And The Howl was pretty amazing too.

Here's another one from when I first broke up with Joe...he doesn't like this one either, haha

Everything we thought we could do
Just slipped in time and fell through the cracks.
Everything we thought we could make
Could never keep us on the right track.

In no time you start to lose your mind,
Life kills you with every tick
Shortly after I go insane
And burn a candle with no wick.

You march to a beat that makes no sense
While I play a memory game.
Timpanis twirling in the corner
Good is gone and it's a shame.

Thunder claps as I come to a
Much needed realization.
Marionettes we are and my master
Says I need some liberation.

Strings are cut and you flail around
Your nose gets longer everyday.
I ride off into the sunset
As I wave goodbye and say:

Everything we thought we could do
Just slipped in time and fell through the cracks.
Everything we thought we could make
Could never keep us on the right track.

This poem makes me sad. Because it was partially true, but still.

Here's one which means a lot to me, because I wrote it thinking of a friend in the army who is due to go into Afghan.

There you are
My loyal friend
Silent
Watching and waiting
As time crawls by
Knowing this moment could never last
You take my hand and look at me
Blue eyes shining intently
Mouth opens to say something
But words never come and you give up
I want to reassure you
Say everything will be ok
But I cannot lie to you
And know danger will ensue
The desert will be dangerous
And I will sit at home
Ever-worrying for my long-time friend
Hoping you will come home
My eyes search for yours again
And when they meet
I see our minds are in the same place
On the same things
I can feel tears
That want to spill on my face
But bite my lip and stop them
I can tell you feel it to
You don't need my worries mounted on you
Our love is unspoken
But we knw it's there
But has been left unopened
You don't think I can handle the pain
I'll wait for you my dearest friend
Through the long hard months
Waiting to see you come home
Smiling and alive.

That one almost made me cry.

I have a cousin in Iraq right now :(

I sorry, two of my cousins are there too.

But this one I wrote like earlier this year...
Can't you see?
My foot slipped, and now I'm falling
falling falling to my death,
then you catch me, and hold me tightly,
never ever loosening your grip,
You put me down and let me go
and as I leave,
I watch you stare longingly,
as if you're to say something.
but I turn away and out the door,
I'm hoping you will run out the door,
and tell me your thoughts,
but I push the elevator button,
your doorknob does not turn,
tears begin to blind my eyes,
they are cold, they are bitter,
they laugh at me for my silly wishes,
for my silly mistake,
for my silly little love for you.
I am at my door now,
I can't seem to put the key in,
I can't turn the knob,
I slip and start to fall,
but someone catches me,
and turning to see who it is,
I see your face,
and finally you speak,
"Silly Girl," You say,
"Can't you see? I love you."

___
That was for my former boyfriend. Yup.
__
Somehow, Alone.

I was with him yesterday,
he brushed my hair from my face,
and told me, "I'll always be here."
He always held my hand,
and led me to dry land,
and kept me from all the fears,
and kept me from wasting tears.
He'd always keep me close,
and kiss me on the nose,
He'd always tell me,
"I'll ALWAYS be here."
And yet, with all his words,
his promises,
here I am.
Standing in the raind,
He was supposed to be here,
and somehow, I'm alone.
___
Yea.. We broke up.
__

Those are the most recent ones I can find... but I didn't look too hard either.

Aww, I'm sorry :(

I know how you felt when you wrote that last one, though, and it's really crappy that you had to deal with that.

A stone
Words carved
Meaningless
Into the cold board
Nothing here makes me smile
Reminds me of how it used to be
Nothing stirs the memories
Of good times
Together
Loved and lost
I'll never forget
Your touch
Your scent
Your taste
Can't give in
To sorrow
Won't let myself cry
I must force myself to remember
Look back on good times
And not when things were sour
Missed
Your memory lingers
Loved
Not lost

I feel like a loser, because all your poems are way better than my songs, haha.

Here's one I wrote a few days ago, but I couldn't find anywhere when I started this topic.

The sun,
Casting it's rays
On the little town,
Pressing them down
All around,
Makes for discomfort.
The moon,
Hired to keep
A vigil in the night,
Trying to make
Everything alright,
It's not too bright.

The sun in a
Worthy foe,
And the moon
Lacks an
Appealing glow.
No.

We know that
The sun sucks up
To the Lord above,
And the moon
Works nights
Cause life is tough.
And everyone likes
The heavenly body
That shines.

And I
I used to be
That silly moon.
There was a better
Girl for you.
She was so perfect.
Yeah she,
Just like a planet
You followed her.
A star with an orbit
You were hers,
And I was just nothing.

That girl was
A worthy foe.
How I won
I don't know.
No, I don't know.

Because
The sun sucks up
To the Lord above,
And the moon
Works nights
Cause life is tough.
And everyone likes
The heavenly body
That shines.
And everyone thought
You two would make it.
Even I did,
Though I couldn't take it.
But by some miracle that Spring.
The moon caught your eye.

The moon
Triumphs when it eclipses
Everything we glimpse in
The afternoon sky.

The sun sucks up
To the Lord above,
And the moon
Works nights
Cause life is tough.
And everyone likes
The heavenly body
That shines.
And everyone thought
You two would make it.
Even I did,
Though I couldn't take it.
But by some miracle that Spring.
The moon caught your eye.


^ This really references old things that happened in my life. Like, I'm talking issues from 3 years ago. It makes me sound kind of bad, like I stole my boyfriend from another girl, but the truth is, they never really got together, they just liked each other. I was trying to actually get them together, and I fell head-over-heels in love as did he. Oh well. From what I hear, she's happily engaged now.

I let you go
Watching silently as you walked away
I let you go
Hping you would find hapinness one day
I let you go
Without letting a tear fall from my eye
I let you go
Not knowing you were going to die
I watched you leave
Feeling sorrow cold and bitter
I watched you leave
Knowing it would be that bit colder this Winter
I watched you leave
With an aching heart
I watched you leave
Not knowing this would be the last time you depart
I stand here
My hope replaced with fear
I stand here
Wishing you could be near
I stand here
Feeling as your skin goes cold
I stand here
Knowing the property must be sold

One time I let you go
Hoping someday you would return
Just to see an accident
Causing my hopes to burn
He dorve to fast
For you to stand a chance
And now my tears play a song
As you dance your final dance.
