OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here
Hello there everyone!
If you're reading this it means that you probably are quite fond of poetry and writing it to. This is a thread to post all and any poetry that you may have, be it happy, sad, angry or just silly. All styles are welcome (free verse, couplets, slam) and it would be great to have at least one poem up a day for all of us to enjoy together!!
In the quiet, the calm,
There are things that we know.
So that when life feels too hard,
Things seem too big, we can remember.
Remember what hasn't changed.
That the calm isn't gone forever.
It's still there, waiting.
Just hiding for a while,
Until we have the strength to look.
Because no matter what,
And no matter how far,
There is always something around the corner,
Even if all you see right now is wall.

TW : implied/metaphorical death
Rain
I believe that I have no violence left in me.
However will I make it through the next war?
I was a weapon for much too long --
I no longer care to be sharpened or reloaded.
Bury me without honors.
Tell me what becomes of those blazing lights --
After the world is cleansed in their fire,
The old ways rocks upon a funeral pyre,
Tell me
Are they still burning?
I do not believe that we fade to black.
I believe we are embers.
We may be ignited again, but for now
The wildfires are over --
The earth is fertile with ash.
Bury me before the winds pick up again.

you are really talented, thank you for sharing this with us <3
SMILE
I smile deceiving the public
Telling them Im okay
Hiding the burdens I carry inside
I smile
When they ask me how I am
And I say Im fine
If only they knew that that's a lie
I keep smiling even on the darkest days
When I dont know if I can go on
And I feel like I dont belong
I smile
Because its easier to say Im fine
Then to explain why
I feel the way I do
And what if they knew?
That I wasnt as tough as they think
That I have problems too
So I make jokes and smile
Because that's what you do
They laugh believing Im normal for a few
And I continue to feel the way I do
All alone
But I can handle the pain
Its been this way
For a while now
I will be okay
As long as I smile
@compassionateYard7526 nice peice of poetry
@Faithers3718 Thanks
Back to the Fair
I want to go back one more time to the fair
Theres so much to do and to see
All of my friends are going to be there
And the girl at the jewelry booth was talking to me
The fair is magnificent, totally grand
With ice cream booths under blazing blue skies
Theres Mackinak fudge, and the lemonade stand
And the jewelry booth girl with the beautiful eyes
To see the whole fair takes no less than two days
And you cant miss the side show, as long as youre there
And all of the crafts done in so many ways
And the girl at the booth, with her long flowing hair
I havent spent enough time at the fair
I still havent seen sisters blue-ribbon key lime
And the girl at the jewelry booth might be there
And I wanted to ask her if she would be mine
@Offmytrack
lovely poem, this was really well written :) <3
@peppermintlove Awww, thanks. Wish I could write more.
As raging fires burn around our place
And crashing waves threaten us, unnerve us
Your old ridges and lines, most beauteous
Grant me your strength, as I caress your face
Grant me divine love, your eternal grace
For when our joints grow stiff and cold and ache
When my bones are brittle and start to break
My shaking hands destroy our blames by mace
Wiping all imperfections from our bone
Because here you are perfect, old or new
Here I am close, perfection oh so blue
A great distant sun burns brightly alone
For you, I grow the sweetest honeydew
For you, the Midgard serpent overthrown.
@BookWizard

@peppermintlove Haha thank you!! :)
(This is just something to let out my emotions, by no means do I encourage suicide. I just wrote about what it feels like to think about it.)
Another Statistic
A new morning comes along uninvited
Another deadly fuse ignited
The world goes round and so do you
Stuck in the same loop, you make do
You've been reduced to just a shade
Always a smile and a braid
Those happy eyes are hiding tears
Hiding sobs that reach no ears
Everyday ends the same way
You crack a beer, say "just one more day"
An opportunity will come along
Forever you don't have to stay strong
Snivels can echo through a hall
but an empty room won't hear your call
There's not a soul who gives a shit,
No one stops you if this is it
Maybe you yearn for coming clean
After all, tears want to be seen
You have friends, you could confide
But you end up pushing it back inside
Day after day, smile after smile
Your life is no more than a lie
All the pain now lies compiled
Hush now, don't tell, be a good child
A new day comes, grinning evilly
Not a single moment comes for free
Yet someone pretends to care
But yeah, those scars came from nowhere
What you say's not what you think
You keep bleeding that red ink
Make it slow or make it quick
It's not that bad to be a statistic
TW: Thoughts of Death
Written when I was 14. I'm 35 now. Except the last one. It was written at 26
Loaded
I have all of the questions
Loaded in my head.
If I find the answers
Would I be better off dead.
The answers may be full
Of things I wish not to see
Or maybe they will
Portray my fantasy.
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
If the questions are loaded
And the trigger is pulled
To where all the answers come
Will I truly want to know
What the situation will become
Or whether I
Shall still need air?
Cocked
The questions have been loaded.
The trigger has been cocked.
Will the next move be fatal?
Will the next move heal?
If the barrel is emptied
Will I run;will I feel?
The trigger is cocked
Shall it be undone?
Will I be brave
Or will I turn and run?
I believe that the answers
That I do seek
Shall be found
Once the trigger is pulled.
Pulled
All of the questions
That run rampant in my head
Need to be answered
And that may not happen
Until I am dead.
The trigger has been pulled
But I did not find happiness.
All that I find
Is heartache and lonliness.
In my confused state
I pulled the trigger yet again,
Emptying the chamber into my very being.
I do not find the answers
To the questions that I have
And I doubt that I shall
Which is just as well
For the answers that I seek
Would be fitting of a soul
Beseeching only the most dire
Depths of torment. The epitome of Hell.
Emptied
The chamber has been loaded
The gun has been cocked
The trigger has been pulled.
What do I think?
I am such a fool.
I thought that this would help.
I thought that this would heal.
I wondered why everyone
Left me to reel.
Emptying the chamber
Into my soul
I thought this would fix it.
I thought this would make me whole.
I have since realized
That no one cries,
No one sighs
When one bird dies.
deep in the woods hide
peeping frogs,
sawing crickets:
the nighttime chorus,
the invisibile choir.
If i
tried--
my heavy footsteps
would alert the musicmakers
my unsteady gait
snapping twigs,
the dry forsaken bones of
diapproving trees
a siren, an alarm
and who could blame them
for sinking into the mud
taking their nighttime soiree
too far below
for me to reach.
Im in war.
The problem is its with myself.
My brain is currently winning, and my body is degrading.
I cant remember a time when I wasnt fighting to stay afloat.
I try to reach out, but I only burden others.
People say Im fine, but they seem to just want me to put their own problems as a higher priority.
They see anxiety as a healthy experience
But is having constant anxiety considered normal?
My heart races so fast sometimes
It feels like it will vibrate out of my chest.
My body becomes a prison of overwhelming thoughts and confusion.
I shake as if I were in a blizzard.
My compulsions take the gears.
I can only wade it out.
The problem is sometimes it never ends.
