Okay, a while back I went to see my school councilor as I was just having a difficult time. I'm not at all good at speaking about the way I feel so she suggested that I try writing things down. She originally meant to write down words or emotions just to help me identify my feelings, but when I sat down to write, poems came out...I have never shown anybody else these before but I think it'll be okay putting them on here. I owe a lot to my scool councilor...

Grip

Forever tormented,
Can't subdue the rage,
Memories they leave me haunted,
Want to free myslef from this cage.

The wind it blows to black,
Indifferently you watch me bleed,
Can't take a different track,
So I surrender to what you need.

You take my pain so lightly,
Into your callous heart,
Why did you grip my hand so tightly,
Only to pull my soul apart?

Your eyes they do not see me,
Though I stand before you screaming,
Your silence it cuts me deeply,
And so exhausted I lay here bleeding.

Desolate...

Numb
Isolated from the emotional world
They can hurt, grieve, love, laugh
But only you can make me feel.

Yeah, I can feel you
Your words are needles
Penetrating my sealed shell
Choking all the emotion from me.

I wanna make you choke
i'll dig a shallow grave
Under your pitiless skin
I'll rape your spirit the way you raped mine.

You will feel me
Just as I feel you
Together we will struggle
For the end of this crusade.

When the dawn arrives tomorrow
I shall awaken...
I shall survive...
I shall feel.

Just these two for now, however, there are many more that I will post another time.

KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!! Keep 'em commin'!!!!!!!

wow these are great, full of emotion and very powerful. Please keep them coming

Hey, thanks guys. Here's another couple:

Return To Me

In my head
A broken image
A fractured memory
Of a time that, somehow, never really was.
I try to get back there,
Where light wasn't only a dream
But now I realise,
Things can never be the same;
Too much has happened
So many tears shed
I wonder if it wasn't all an illusion
A vision created to warm my memory
And freeze my heart.
If love was never there,
If life was never complete,
Tell me then, why do I remember it?
So vividly it haunts me
So empty I now am
The thought of that previous contentment
Fills me with despair.
I will it to return,
If it ever really was
I wish it would return.

What We Cannot See

Sunlight fades, bringing a foresaken darkness
Creeping over trees, descending on the Earth -
Swallowing all in its path.
The dark silence beckons me; preaches to me
Come closer. Come closer.

I gravitate towards the core
The shadows become denser.
As the darkness thickens, an eerie fog spreads -
The peaceful serenity of a blind world.
If I cannot see the demons, they are not there.

Head up, eyes wide, alert I wander through the shadows.
I am not afraid. The devils try to scare me.
I am wise to their games, for I know that in the shadows,
What lies beneath the underbrush
Cannot touch me. Cannot see.

The fear once felt is no longer there,
Replaced instead, by blissful ignorance.
Ignorance to what evils lay ahead, along the road ato the perfect world.
Harmony reigns the darkness, for I cannot see
The chaos that awaits me in the light.

The light is not perfect, for I can see the flaws.
My ideal world shattered by the brightly lit truth,
But I take refuge in the shadows,
Because in the darkness I cannot see,
And if I cannot see the demons, they are not there.


I actually handed in "What We Cannot See" for an English assignment last year, and my teacher did not like it at all. I would really like to know your opinions of not only this poem, but all that I put up here...thanks

Also, I would really love to put up a couple of my drawings but technology and I don't get along at all, so if someone could give some VERY dumbed down instructions about how tto get them up here it would be much appreciated

How could your english teacher not like it? Its awesome

Well thankyou very much...She said something about it not being appropriate as it was a "poetry" assignment. I was standing there going "Well what's that?! It's not like I handed you a maths assignment!"

sorry but she must be a idiot , that is a very good poem. i wounld give it a A+
