People hate to see you
You storm all night to be heard
And they ignore you
You throw blizzards at them
And they fear you
You cough up smoke
And nobody cares
You tremble
And they tremble.
You grow quiet
And they return to daily life.
You grow flowers
And they pick them
You cry tears
And they play in them
You carry them
And they dig into your skin
You hate them now
And they love you
You sneeze
And they run
You laugh
And they burn
Teach Me To CryTeach me how to cry.Teach Me To Cry2 years ago in Visual & Found Poetry More Like This
I want to know how to spill emotion from my eyes,
How to stain my shirt with tears,
And burn holes into the concrete I walk on.
Teach me how to cry.
Show me how to soften my heart,
How to weep for the wrongs of the world,
How to mourn for my lost loved ones.
Teach me how to cry.
Show me how to show I'm strong.
Teach me to purge the bad into something beautiful,
Shining, and salty, giving savor to the world.

I don't understand why
people are always afraid of monsters,
if monsters always live inside your mind.
You always told me that my mind was like a danger line
because if you stepped too far
you would lose yourself forever,
but I never knew that being insane was the new trend.
I've always painted my nails black
ever since the day you've been gone
because it makes my mind go on a runaway train to memory lane.
It's no secret that you're like my oxygen.
I don't understand why I need sleep
when my dreams never exist.
All of my dreams were about you,
so I stopped dreaming.
I'm so happy,
because I fina
My Master's VoiceI screamed at him "I'm leaving!"My Master's Voice5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
He smiled and said "okay"
I said "no, for once I mean it
This time you wont make me stay"
But bags were never really packed
And that night in our bed I lay
The taste of blood on my lips
Still remained there the next day
I screamed at him "please stop this!
I am the Mother to your child
Baby, I know you have a temper
I know my ways make you so wild"
"But I promise I'll try harder
Not to push your buttons so much"
With that the beast resumed control
As I quiver at each stolen touch
They scream at me to leave him
To them it's such a simple choice
But it's been so long since I've heard
Anything
EscapistEnter into a worldEscapist5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
A place where I come from
And there is no escape
My mind in my head
Is falling into pieces
Onto a world
Which I choose not to face
You are my sanctuary
The sweet side of my herion
Because you can enchant my senses
To the point
Where I never want to
Leave again
I feel like screaming
Inside the darkest place
Where the walls are closing in
Tell me all your precious lies
I will believe them time and time again
So what if I choose to stay here
In this world I created inside my head
I can't stay here
What has reality done for me
Except make me wish I was dead
I'm here
I'm here
I hear the voices
As I'm si

How artistic
So pessimistic
It's so true
I'm hardly breathing,
my heart stops beating,
When I'm with you
I'm retarded
Now restart it
We're departed
Ain't it true
I'm hardly living,
there's no forgiving,
When I'm with you
You're a liar
Hearts on fire
No desire
Can't be true
We must be dying,
I'm always crying,
When I'm with you
I am missing
All the kissing
There's no dismissing
That it's true
I was perfect,
Now I'm worthless,
When I'm with you
Getting tired
Life's expired
I feel required
To be true
There's no stopping,
Only jaw dropping,
When I'm with you
You're pathetic
Apologetic

A Perfect DayA Perfect Day:A Perfect Day9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
What is it?
A day without flaw.
Never having fault.
Always accusing.
Of the bruising.
For I have had enough.
And I know as long as I have you.
I will no longer feel blue.
Always by my side.
Helping me along.
Showing me true love.
As straight lined as a turtle dove.
Being together,
Lasting forever.
And here we lay,
A perfect Day.

I showed you love.
I gave you my heart.
I let you restart.
You shot me down.
You gave me hell.
You let me fall.
You still stand tall.
We were one sided.
We were a lie.
We said forver.
We're now over.

Two sides
The same soul
One brings happiness
The other brings tears
One follows the other
When the other appears
Born of darkness
Born to night
Fighting for my
Inner light
Sometimes moving way too fast
Racing against the future past
Trip, fall
Know-it-all
Says I can't
Have it all
But I've never listened very well

You don't know.
You have no idea,
What it feels like,
To miss you.
You,
You walk around,
You live on,
Like it's nothing,
To miss you.
You,
You are more than okay,
You live through each day,
Without knowing,
That I miss you.

does our love ever say anything to their kids?
does a kid know the difference
between love of a man or a woman?
does our love ever tell them we're evil?
i dont think so

we just love the same sex
Heat Wave of SummerThe Heat Wave of SummerHeat Wave of Summer10 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
The heat wave of summer
Could it make us any dumber?
We lose our cares and worries
And instead listen to thrilling stories,
Around a fire warm and bright
Tales of adventures filled with delight
Blissfully unaware that time still flows
Like a river, from the lake to the ocean, it goes
We never heed the warnings
Instead it's put off 'till morning
Still enthralled in the riveting tale
Of the fish on the line that seemed like a whale
But like said fish, that freed itself from the line,
Summer will be over in due time
Yet while it lasts, let us rejoice
And scream and shout until we lose our voice

Will you be waiting here,
I will always wait here,
Forevermore,
And if I should come back,
Will you be waiting here,

For I always love you,
Though you're never home,
I will always wait for you,

I come back in the fall,
And you have passed and gone,
I have always waited,
Forevermore,
I have cried all the years,
I dearly miss you so,
I will always watch you,

For I always love you,
Even through my death,
I will always miss you,

Alice With A TwistI stumbledAlice With A Twist10 months ago in Emotional More Like This
through the door
that separates
my world
from yours.
I made my way
through
fields of debris,
of buildings that
were left behind
for a change,
the upcoming
modern era.
I've slipped through
the seam,
I have become
the dream.
This is
Alice, with a twist
and I can't seem
to find my missing
puzzle piece.
No Chance of CorrectionYour words are a cold fire,No Chance of Correction10 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
burning through my mind,
stopping my heart.
Darkly luring, fire burning,
get away,
get AWAY!
I don't know you,
but I know your eyes.
Those tinted with bleu,
inescapable little spies.
Your hands are the heat of the flames,
all the while those eyes contrasting as ice.
You're exploring,
imploring,
forcing,
remorsing!
Please tell me you don't want to do this.
Please don't hurt this fragile body.
Your finger trails down my pallid skin,
leaving an invisible trail of yearning.
I can't bring myself to look up at that grotesque grin,
can't bear to watch your continuous learning.
Never be the same
Hate.You've made me hate you....Hate.10 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
You want so much attention.
You don't need it.
There's reasons why you're like this.
I know those reasons.
You try to make people miserable.
I see through you.
Everyone feels bad for you.
They shouldn't.
You only care about partying and having sex.
You have two children.
You've been in jail.
Don't tell me it's God's fault that those reasons happened.
You're pathetic.
You're a waste of space
You're my family...and I say these things.
That's horrible of me.
But you do more and more.
No one thinks its cute except you.
You've made me hate you.
I hate you.....
secretssecrets10 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
As we go through life, we all have secrets we have to hide
Sometimes, maybe, it's for the protection of someone else
Or it's your own denial of holding on that you know it isn't true
Even though, deep inside your heart, you know lieing hurts more than anything
But, the feeling of shielding everyone from your faults and your mistakes...
It overcomes all that you know that is hurting the other
Yes, secrets could be an up or it could be a down
In the end, it depends on you on what you want to do with that secret

And I can see
The end up ahead
These words sit in my mouth
Burning like acid
I should let them out
I should let you go
But though the hope is gone
I stay silent
Watching the end of you

It just isn't right.
Every day without you by my side,
is a batter covered oreo that has yet to be fried.
It just isn't right.
Going to bed at night without you to hold,
is an origami frog without a single fold.
It just isn't right.
Sitting on a park bench all alone,
is an empty inbox on a teenager's phone.
It just isn't right.
Buying only a single ice cream pop to devour,
is a colorless sunset view from a clock tower.
It just isn't right.
