Freedom

Free of all your lies,
I see the true you, you hide,
I see your lack of worth.

Once I had respect,
Now I have only disgust,
Flee little shadow.

run from the true you,
Hide behind your sycophants,
learn the road of pain.

I will fly beyond,
Find what I want from the world,
I have already.

You are banished,
Never darken my doorstep,
You are dust to me.

Thanatos · 11-11-2004, 11:51 PM

I am the Darkhorse,
succeeding beyond all expectations.
You may see me as weak,
but in that lies my strength.
People have shot me down,
they have spit in my eye,
called me a loser,
called me a queer.
They sacrificed my dreamsto their arrogant gods.
Cast my body upon the bonfire of their vanity.
But like the mighty Phoenix,
I am reborn from the ashes of despair.
I fly triumphant over my foes.
Do not underestimate me,
for you may be the next to fall.
Many have doubted me,
and I have crushed them all.

CHEESE
succulent morsels of edible lacticism
forever engrained in my memory
oh, those feckless cows,
and their fermented utter-excretions
Why is it so universal,
our love for the fermented milk?
Is it because our childhood beckons,
nostalgia finally made edible?
or the is it mankind's natural abillity
to take the noxious, and call it "delictable"?

He came to me, seeking solace
And once again I tremble
For those magical words
Would not come again

He talks oh so much
He feels like nothing
He cannot find himself
He is lost in the void

I reach out, offering my hand
I still do not say anything
But I know, oh I know
That I can show him what I feel

He wonders how I can feel thus
He is not worth it, or so he knows
He is not special, and lots others
Have much better qualities about them

I smile softly, and I tell him
The many ways that he is special
For one person to see them it takes
Another person to care for them

Now he smiles, burden lifting
Not permanently, a brief respite
I smile as well, for once I
Have found the right words

Sucks.

Hopless Causes

This battle you continue
to fight.
It's just you now.
Your "opponents" left a long time ago.
You didn't win.
Give up,
Go away,
Live on.

Stop wasting our time.

Okay, this morning I was half asleep due to the wonderful 3 hours that I managed to get in. I have no idea why I couldn't copy notes, but could make poems....just don't ask.

Sleepy

Eyes drooping
head falling on desk
please let me sleep
let me rest
leaning against the wall
Teachers droning
a sweet lulluby
I slowly slip from Biology
to the dreamers relm

Boring
class is so boring
slower than even a snail
I mean, if it weren't so boring
then would I be writing this poem?

Squishy Cheeks · 11-12-2004, 08:15 AM

My last poem was an ode to my ex girlfriend of two years. I doubt she'll see it but if she does. Happy anniversary bitch.

This one is a little more current.

Vainity

Get out of my life,
Your vainity sickens me,
Unable to see.
Unpretty peacock,
Feathers are a total mess,
Squak no more for me,
Come down from your height,
Screech no more into the night,
Leave your illusion.
Truth you do not see,
All do to your vainity,
just leave me alone.

See the strand
The red line
Make it yours
Take the chance

Talk to yourself
Its what I do
Let all know
You’re not all there

Jump right in
You stupid jerk
We’re all waiting
To see you die

You’re just a waste
That’s why I don’t
Complete this
You’re not worth it

this has no target in particular, just a tribute to people who suck, in general. There are quite a few of them out there from what I hear, although it makes it much easier to ignore them when you can't understand what they're saying, but I digress...

and since I've digressed, I guess I'll leave it that way...

BlackMageGirl! · 11-13-2004, 12:06 AM

Why are you doing this?
Can't you see?
You are hurting
The people around you

You think no one cares
Why should you live?
And why should you care
That you are hurting others?

You don't know
You won't even see
Why, why are you doing this?
Why can't you see it?

She heard the news
The strong one, started crying
Told another, asked for help
And she found solace in the dark

The friend pitied him first
Hatred grew inside, all at him
He feels the need to hurt him
For hurting his friends

The lover, his tears did flow
For when she did fall
His heart went out to her
And he tries his best to be there...

The other, a girl was crying
She told the others, she left
Ran until she couldn't anymore
Laid down and cried

And still, he doesn't see
He's hurting, hurting us
And the question still remains
Why, why, why..?

"The way we worry"

A man, alone, on the edge of reality,
Confesses to one that he can't go on.
She sits there and tries to console him,
He gets up and leaves quite suddenly.

She watches him go, and starts to worry.
She hopes completely that it wasn't her fault.
She breaks down and cries, telling another,
And through him, the worry goes on.

He's shocked, he's stunned, he listens to her.
He stops what he's doing, gets down and prays.
Finishing the prayer, he still feels helpless,
He tells the others, and the worry goes on.

One of them stops, gets down to pray,
Another runs and runs, then stops, and cries.
Another reacts with shock and horror,
And still the worry goes on.

Another who heard comes to the first boy,
He rants how he wants the man away from his friends,
How he's hurt them before, best not do it again.
Yet despite it, the worry goes on.

And now, we sit here, waiting, hoping,
Some of us in tears, some of us in anger,
Some of us pray, others have fainted,
All this is the way that our worry goes on.
