OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here

I made a wish

I wrapped it up nice

I went to give it up

Into universal light

But I was too attached

I filled it with hopes and fear

What if once I gave it up

It would simply disappear

So I cradled it tight

And held it close

And whispered to it

All my dreams and hopes

But as time passed

And I couldn't let go

The dreams they stopped

And hope turned sour

I still fed my wish

With all that I had

I still kept it close

I still held on tight

Until you came by

And made me feel loved

So that just being with you

Was more than enough

I learnt to trust more

I learnt to give without fear

To simply be myself

Let all doubts disappear

The wish was filled with light

I no longer held on tight

I let my wish move on

Into universal light

It was fine to let it go

It shall come to manifest

I shall live in this moment

And learn to have faith

Pick the leaves from my hair
and laugh with me lying in the
parched fall grass.
Let me nestle into the scarf
wrapped crookedly around your neck.
Tug my hat down just a little bit more,
Steal the cold puffs of air
From before my lips
With a kiss that promises
You'll be here come spring.

This is called We Are Emos....Enjoy

The Emos

Who are we?

Labeled. Judged. Hated.

Walking through the halls

All black

Music cascading over us

It is a security blanket

The screams of the singers

Match the screams of our terrorized and bullied brains.

We are Jesus

Walking through the hallways

Constantly ridiculed, constantly judged.

We are the emos, we arent

Freaks.

We arent all

Depressed

Cutters

Introverts

We are the pit bulls, but not the parolees

We are held back by rusted chains

When we break free we will devour our enemies

Numb to all of their pains

They didnt care about us

The soldiers in the school

They didnt care about us

We arent necessarily cool

We arent love at first sight

But we dont bite

We do let love in the crack

Kind of like Sally and Jack

Walking through school

Proudly wearing our band merch

Wading through the pool

Of pain and such

We are the emos

The outcasts

The strays

We are the bad influences

The always avoided

With headphones, our life sources

We shouldnt be voided.

We are part of society

We are part of the school

We are a family

Yes, we are cool.

School blazes wounds into us

In hallways of schools and on the bus

But we dont always react

And thats a fact

We silently suffer

Not even eating our supper

We are the bullied

It never ends

We are the unloved

For us Death sends

We are the emos.

Darkness covers the night

It veils what is wrong and what's right

It makes us the same

There's no one to blame

Because we are all alike

It's truth and it's beauty

It's justice and purity

We're not strangers, we're one

And unlike the sun

Darkness gives us amnesty

We're free to sin

And wash it off of our skin

Because blood and honour

Don't matter no longer

We threw overboard our discipline

The black takes our eyesight and let's us hear

Hearts that are smiling while shedding a tear

And while we wander through the dark

A faint melody finds its start

Soft, deceitful and ever so crystal clear

Then the sunrise shakes us to the core

But we begin to dream once more

Of a land far away

Filled with wonder, not dismay

Where there's peace instead of war

And all along, inside my head

Fantasy's begun to spread

And with contentment in my chest

I lay reality to rest

And with it all the fear and dread

If I let myself it's almost real

It's like falling from the stars

I dream of it everyday

I feel it when I close my eyes

Do you soar through the sky like wings on a bird

Do you tumble to the ground like rocks on a cliff

Can you float through the air like a petal in the wind

Can you fall to the earth like rain from the clouds

Have you run through the land like a stallion in the sun

Have you sunk to the bottom like a raft in the ocean

Will you speed through the land like a cheetah catching pray

Will you burn to the root like a fire in the forest

If I let myself it's almost real

It's like falling from the stars

I dream of it everyday

I feel it when I close my eyes

Poisonous, Venomous, Insiduous.

Her hold on me reaches far, even through time.

She is gone, but her traces are still vivid.

She is nowhere to be seen but it feels like she was just here.

I look around, there's on one,

Yet I see...

blood on my hands,

and broken pieces of my life on the floor.

Pictures, memories, dreams, hopes.

Destroyed.

I looked up, I heard footsteps,

him...

He's walking away,

Walking out...

far from me.

I could sense her, winning, smiling in the back of my mind.

"No one believes in you."

"Only I can take care of you. I am still the best."

I scream...I beg, I cry. "No, please..please, don't go! Please don't go, please...please don't leave me here. Please I beg you understand me."

"Sweety, I did. I can't anymore" He whispered, pained...but with great effort to stay gentle. "You took it from me, I can't love you back. I'm so tired..take care of yourself okay?"

He walks faster...and fades.

I question everything.

I wonder

If anyone will even mourn for me.

All I can see is her, discarding me...her face in everyone I see.

Her hands in everything I do.


Her voice in everything I say.


Who am I?


What am I?



Nothing.



No more.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall,

Who's the fakest of them all?

The one that hides a face in shame

Who covers the scars and the pain.

Mirror mirror in the hall,

Who cries the silent call?

The one that looks but doesn't see

The inner beauty reflected by thee.

Mirror mirror in my hand,

Who alone can barely stand?

And can't hold their head up high

Hiding behind each little white lie.

Mirror mirror in my room,

Who plans their own doom?

The one that digs their own grave

The one no one has tried to save.

Mirror mirror on the floor,

Who's not to live any more?

The one that will take their own life

The one to whom you gave a knife.

Mirror mirror on the ground,

You shattered without a sound.

Down like your helpless victims you fell

To whom the truth you never did tell.

Fallen heroes

My oh my
I scream please tell me why
Does this have to go by
Even though I try

Everything is aching
This life I'm almost forsaking
Reality is heartbreaking
It's a tragedy in the making

What are we doing this for
And why are we always looking for something more
My body is sore
From all this pain I wore

I knew then that I would never be free
Still it hurt that I couldn't see
The people that are closest to me
Will you let this be

Or will you take a stand
Give me a hand
And we'll fight for our land
Do you believe in me, friend

Don't let them get under your skin
No matter what they tell you, I am no sin
Let's get up together and begin
For all our loved ones, we must win

We will fight on till no man remains
And the blood has left enormous stains
People will remember our names
But we know we will never be the same

When it's all said and done
So many of our friends will never again see the sun
We'll be relieved because we have won
But of happiness we will have none

Train of thought

One night I start to ponder
What does this life really mean
I wonder
I try to recall all the things I've seen

Maybe the answer lies in my memories
I've been here a long time
And I know everything is not as it seems
Possibly I missed a sign

Something out of the ordinary
That passed my eyes at first sight
Though I have always been wary
Of things that do not seem right

Where can I find the answer then
If not in the back of my mind
And if I choose to look again
Will I like what I find?
