OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here

stop asking me if im okay im tired of lying

i try to be right but my best friend is a razor blade

I'm a black sheep

Lost ever in a herd so deep.

Why have they looked at me

With contempt that urges me to leave?

I'm a black little sheep.

Who pretends to be asleep.

Everything should work out fine.

Now that I don't owe them my life.

7 cups is a place...

7 cups is a place where I can be who I want to be,

Full of acceptance, full of integrity,

Where people value for what you think,

And don?t just judge you before you can blink,

7 cups is a place where everyone?s kind,

Everyone is warm, and will always remind,

Why deep down you are special, and always will be,

Outside the huge bubble of negativity,

7 cups is a place where I can feel proud,

Of my achievements with an emotional cloud,

My intuition of how people feel,

Is relevant, and appreciated for real,

7 cups is a place where I feel compassion,

In a world without shallow fashion,

People can hold out their hand,

And with a little help, learn how to stand

7 cups is a place like a breath of fresh air,

To rescue people in constant despair,

To build up people?s low self-esteem,

To turn flowing tears into a confident beam,

But most of all, 7 cups is a place that I can call home.

Struggle and Pain: Two Fundamental Forces
Pain is a byproduct of struggle, Struggle and pain go hand in hand,
Struggles builds and strengthens good character, struggles are unavoidable,
Pain is like a scar that heals, pain can also be an emotional scar locked within you,
Struggles can be difficult, struggles can help you be more compassionate,

Pain has many forms, and many thorns that can make you feel forlorn,
Struggle today and struggle tomorrow for all we know the sorrow will be over,

Painful memories, painful events all of these shall cease to exist,
Struggle and pain are not our enemies they are the driving-forces of empathy,
Struggle and pain are part of the game.

This is great! I would like to post a couple poems of my own, but I'm afraid they are not 7 Cups worthy. @Laura , maybe I should pass them by you? Alot of them have suggestive themes ofviolence and self-harm. Nevertheless,I've been told they're well written.

Not a poem but the 1st lyrics of a new song im writing if that counts as she smiles her soul is aching as she laughs her heart is breaking everyday shes who she has to be everyday she feels like she cant breathe standimg in the sun to only feel the rain walking tall and strong but inside so much pain and she asks herself will they ever know and she asks herself to stay or let go and she feels lost afraid and alone she sees so much beauty but none of her own she stands in a crowd thinking she cant be seen but im here to tell you ive been where youve been I can see through the painting on the wall I can see you standing in an empty hall I can see the dreams fading behind those eyes and im here to say live dont just survive I can see the tear that you try to hide I see the ocean in it the waves the tide I see the the darkness that your drowning in but also see the stars so pure bright shining I know you feel lost and I know you in fear but I can see past you pain at your beauty here so look into my eyes and fear no more look into my heart and ill make you sure while you are weak I will hold you till the end while you are alone I will be your best friend when you in darkness ill light your way when your ready to talk ill hear wat u say when you feel unloved there is no one ill hold dearer when you feel far way I bring you nearer when you feel hope is gone and ur alone I promice you my friend I will carry you home
