We Are/You Aren'tWe are the unwanted, the brokenWe Are/You Aren't4 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The ones you forgot about.
So don't be too surprised when we
Start to scream and shout.
We are the living, the dying
The ones you all put down.
But you'll know who we are when we
Run this goddamn town.
We are the corpses, the maggots
The ones you all despise.
But you'll be the ones scared when we
Expose all your lies.
We are the hunted, the lost
The ones you all spurn.
But you'll cry for our help when we
Leave you all to burn.
We are the losers, the winners
The ones that you deny.
But you'll be the ones damned when we
Hear the angels cry.
ScarsStanding in the showerScars4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Skin turning redder
I stay still and soak it in
This water won't erase my sins
Scars stand out bright white
Burns and cuts all in sight
The real scars cannot be seen
They reside inside of me
I wonder if all I will be
is a creature scarred eternally?
The ArtistThe Artist.The Artist6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
He is unknown to the world.
Off in his own little realm.
Away in his imagination.
Lost in his own mind.
Sifting through ideas.
Searching for inspiration.
Shunned by many.
Accepted by few.
Understood by none.
He is called insane.
For his works and his ways.
He knows what he is creating.
Creating beautiful scenes.
Building an imaginary character.
Making it real.
Known by no one.
Appreciated by few.
Realized by everyone.
Beautiful EnoughMeet a girl named No One, with a heart of shattered stoneBeautiful Enough6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Staring at the other girl, the one that's not alone
Girl with skin that glistens, with the eyes of crystal seas
Grin of shining diamonds and a laugh like a disease
Flashes just a glance and soon, she's every trouble's cure
She has everything… and No One's off to be like her.
Eating turns into a crime, she'd rather be away
Thrusting fingers down her throat to make herself okay
Watching as her very bones are seen behind her flesh
There she drowns in tears, for she has not yet seen success.
Minutes turn to hours, and these hours turn to days
Every moment slipping, slowly fading
Still AliveI've been thinking latelyStill Alive6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
How everything been changing
Contemplating mainly
On how I've been aging
Staging my life but not much
Of it is ranging
Am I still alive?
Or is my existence fading
Pull up to my house
Watching the night sky
Waiting to sober up
And get off this high
So I can feel the pain
To know I'm still alive
Looking back only one thing
Comes to mind
The good times they were
How the years
Gone by
Not a worry in the world
Till the age of reality
With the experience in life
Alters our mentality
As the loss of innocence
Becomes such a tragedy
And we all know
How bad that can be
When the age of vanity

Making up,
Making out in the rain
Outside, where it's more dramatic
(Of course,
You're in pain)
How exciting and memorable,
So perfectly effable,
Except that it is
Just a bit--
A bit inevitable
This sap,
All our love,
Once sweet,
Is made so bland
Sickening beats
Overused,
Done over again
Scream aloud now
With all your mind and soul,
State your intentions,
Do leave in your goals
The audience is waiting,
Eyes on the floor--
Do them a favor,
Put on a good show
Overdone lyrics
A dull drone in my head
Once more the main subject,
Love's here till the end
Sideways on a table,
Outside in the rain,
Making out,
Making up,
Then breaking up again
Thoughts of a heartsick dreamer Thoughts of a heartsick dreamerThoughts of a heartsick dreamer4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Once again I fall asleep
With a heavy mind
And a heavy heart
I feel I do not measure up
I don’t know where to start
I try to give you the world…
Just for a smile…
But most often I am left in silence
I know you care
I know your there
But sometimes…
It feels like I’m talking to a ghost
Every action
Every cry for attention
Met only by silence
Or another sad sigh…
It seems my roses
My affections
Are only received by reflection
And that all I give is thorns
I don’t want a light to die
….just as its born
I don’t know what to do
I don&

Stitches sewn

If only I had known
If only I had been equipped
to stomach every lie
Before this my last goodbye
As a flower begins to grow,
So does it die
Never Really AloneTake me on an adventure, I'm ready for the ride, though life may seem normal I can make it out to be more than what turns in the tides. I know not the future. I know not the past. But if there's one thing that I know for sure is that this love will last. No matter thick and thin, no matter how weak the bond, every single day I've thought of you and I've hung on. I've had visions, I've had dreams and I can feel it in my bones, the lonely nights I've been crying now I know that I was never really alone.Never Really Alone6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Wolf's HowlThe sweet soundWolf's Howl6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Like music to the ears
They tell the tale
About their day
They never break a tune
Like a smooth melody
They howl together
to make a strong tune
Don't make a sound
You'll interrupt the most
Beautiful song
That drifts you off to sleep
The PassingI hear Bells cryingThe Passing6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
In my head,
I hear Bells knell
For those passed.
The thrum goes on
For those left behind.
How often do you
Take the time to listen?
How often do you
Soak up that second to see?
This melody called life
Can you taste it? Hear it?
Inhale.
Spices enter your lungs,
Close your eyes.
The ocean envelops your ears.
You only have so long,
Do you spare time to listen?
Do you bring yourself to see?
The thrum goes on,
For those left behind.

The mind,
The thought,
The heart.
We feel,
We touch,
We love,
We thought,
We sought,
We thrive,
We care,
We share,
We prevail.
These feelings connect,
These feelings are together,
These thoughts have gone inside,
These thoughts have touched our mind,
These things grasp our hearts,
These things grip the heart.
These things are connected,
On a white thread,
On a white vine,
On a white chain,
On to our hearts.
Dreams can connect to you memories,
Dreams can connect to your life,
Dreams can thrive inside you,
Dreams can become reality,
Dreams can connect to another person.

Or is it just you?
I don't know if it's true
So please give me a clue.
I don't know what to think
So please give me a hint,
Cause the way that you've been
Is too good to be real.

If you were the moon, I want to be the stars
If you were a performer, I want to be your stage
If I was the moon, you’d be the sun
If I was a leaf, you would be the gentle breeze that blows me away
If I was lost, would you look for me?
If love was the opening act, we’d be the main event
If there was a painting, we’d be the colors
If you loved me, my world would be all light.

I may have hurt youI may have hurt you, I probably have.I may have hurt you2 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
But this is a story of me, not of you,
And not of the things I have done,
To bite through your skin.
This is a story of little me,
Crumbled and broken.
Hidden by all the crap you throw,
Like knives through acid rain.
This is a story of little me,
Choking and heaving.
Trying so hard to swim, to clean,
All the oil like pain you feel.
This is a story of little me,
Frozen and stuck.
Unable to move through the words,
That form my glacier heart.
This is a story of little me,
Smouldering and burning.
My actions burning bridges as I run,
And I am flames and ashes.
This is a story of little me,

A wolf cries to the moon
So I begin to ponder
Alone here in my room
As to what the wolf is after
When it calls out to the moon
I think I thought of something
But I fell asleep too soon.
Shallow BreathsShallow breaths in the darkShallow Breaths2 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
On a sad summers night
Just a slow shooting star
Always trying to fly
Taking leaps into hope
That the future might change
To get caught by the ropes
That will rot into chains
Always thinking you're free
It's your life and your way
At the end of the lead
Being pulled on by fate
You're just playing along
To the game they all know
With a song that's been sung
And a seed that's been sown
River of TearsMy eyes are a bloodshot red,River of Tears1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
I shield myself from the world,
My mask is but porcelain,
Hiding true nature, true self.
The air around me was once,
Comforting, yet now it is,
A bitter melancholy,
My warmth has left my body.
The winds have silenced their song,
Filling haunting emptiness,
Into the void of night's cloak,
Not even the tide speaks now.
However, if you listen,
Ever so closely you hear,
The anguish of fellow man,
Made kin in destruction's wake.
Only the ghostly flicker,
Pierces the hallow darkness,
I too set down my lantern,
Joining the faint sea of stars.
Falling to my knees, the rocks,
They remind me of my pains
The HeartIt is just an organ.The Heart2 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Pumping blood through out us,
keeping us alive.
Yet when you hurt me,
my heart starts to ache.
As if burdened,
and weighed down.
Slowly breaking
with a dull numbing ache
slowly spreading though out.
yet the heart,
is just an organ.
pumping blood through my veins.
Keeping me alive.
So how is it,
That when you hurt me,
it starts to ache.
Burdened by the hurt you caused,
my heart aches in a dull pain
And the reason is you.
and how you lie,
and change your mind
to quick to be sure.
how you just seem to torture
my already worn out heart.
It's is just a heart.
A simple organ,
that pumps blood
and keeps me alive
But it feel

and here we are
we rise and set
with the sun
because the

and here we are

and here we are

sweet cold beer stealing

Hello, hello, oh
And I know we’re a world away
But I’d like for you to stay
And I know you’re hurting deep, inside
But I’d like you try to smile, big and wide

Can bring out the sun
Because even in the strangest ways
Can bring out the best in someone

But life's can be oh so rough
And I know my words can't make you better
But I hope maybe I can try with this letter
And no matter what,
