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!!
It is again that we meet,
and I itch to tell you of the worms that crawl under my skin as you speak.
You smile,
and constellations shatter like glass.
My mother told me to stay away from shattered glass.
But the stardust that coats each sliver is intoxicating,
and I was always too easily addicted.
I write and post my stuff on my instagram account (@ishabiebs) and here is a small poem I wrote for a follower of mine. Have fun.
Standing on the sand,
I watched you chase your dream.
Slipping through my hand,
Strongly captivated by him.
Running away from me
To chase the sun,
Darlin' you broke free
To meet him at the horizon.
I really...really...
really...
have much bigger problems
than to worry about...him.
I have debts to pay..
I have unfinished work and upcoming works that are piling up.
And my crippling confidence to deal with.
I have therapy assignments
letters to write
to my abusers, to my observers...to those people that i've hurt because of the abuse/neglect i got.
i need to get a job...projects...something to work on.
but instead
i cry about him.
a person who wound up this web of honey
that i can wrap myself up in.
only to fall to the ground
because his lies don't even hold.
but i keep still.
wrapped up
in his empty promises.
i could just break free.
but i choose not to.
because
i still wait for him.
This is just a quickie I wrote the other night...its not good but still...here we go:
Mom,
Do you know?
I cry myself to sleep
I feel like I'm buried deep
Mom,
Do you know?
I draw on my skin
But I can't live with this sin
Mom,
Do you know?
I tried to give it up to the darkness
I just wanted to escape this madness
Mom,
Do you know?
I love it when the blood trickles down
Coz that's when the feelings shall drown
Mom,
Do you know?
My eyes get sore from the tears
I just can't let go of the fears
Mom,
Do you know?
How much your words hurt me
How much your ignorance cuts me
Mom,
Do you know?
Sometimes I wish I could die
Then in peacefulness I shall lie
Mom,
Do you know?
How much I want you to understand
And tell me it'll all be fine
Mom,
I just want to know
Do you even love me
Do you even care?
THE END
HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED IT....ILL WAIT FOR A REPLY....IT REALLY HELPS WHEN OTHERS UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU FEEL

Dear @mairatheabbal5858, when you said your poem isn't good, I felt sad.
This poem is a part of you, and you're AMAZING.
(And I actually liked the poem. )
A Provocateur
I have an archive of my thoughts Fought
And I was sane enough to think the stink
That not all in this mind are brought and rot
Unto the real, and worldwide link by prink
I wish that I could bring this up Wrap
I like to see and notify it by
That someone here is to disrupt his crap
All the insanely codify and fly
-Ano ni Muse?-
what is there in me but a poet's left-wing hopes for a new home?
a politician's nightmare; a person's greatest dream;
what could arise but an equality so desperate and far-reaching that naught but the lord's now-empty chambers can truly mirror?
the parable of the madman, the liar, echoes
as a single grain of rice slips down seven billion throats at once,
and finally the people are content,
only becase there is no longer a greater power,
no longer a better than us,
as though the monstrosities in life are all machiavellian.
(I am the poet who dreams of a society where we are all equal, but none of us free.
becase freedom,
freedom is the deadliest poison of them all. )
I am here
When the lights are out
and the sun's asleep
Tell me, what do you see
does it make you weep
Or does it provide a smile
to replace that painful expression
And do you feel unburdened
after your midnight confession?
When you close your eyes
what does your mind say
Does it hate you
for wishing there would come no new day
Or is it secretly hoping
the exact same
But do you truly know the cost
of giving in to the pain?
When the voices quiet down
and you can finally rest
Does your life flash before your eyes
do you see how much you've progressed
Or are your memories dark and depressing
still tainted with fear
Please do realise
I am here
@Cheeney love this..good stuff :-)
@soothingwind Thank you so much!
YOUR MIRACLE
When everything seems wrong
When you feel you're at your worst
When life goes awry
When you feel so low, you think it is impossible to rise
You think, this is the end
And in the end all you need is a miracle
And when the miracle doesn't happen
You feel hollow and empty
And your faith reflects the absence of the miracle and
You try to still have hope until all that's left of you is
A terrifying jumble of faith and pain
And all you can do is wonder
Wonder, what is the point of everything that has ever happened or ever will
And just as you feel
The choking hold of doom around you
That's when a little thing happens
An unexpected event
The miracle, perhaps
This something leads to a bigger something and this bigger something tips everything in the right direction
And maybe at this point in life
You think this could never happen
You believe you've used up all of your happy cards
And you're only left with the bad ones
Even in the face of the newfound good,
You deny it
But you have to remember
And hold on to the little faith you've kept
Remember, the bad events have to end, someday,
The wheel of life turns, and when times change, everything that matters changes and the unexpected miracle finally, oh, finally, happens
And this is the story of everyone,
And this is the story of you
You're brave, you're strong, you overcome impossibilities
Waiting, oh, waiting
For your miracle
For the miracle shall happen
And you shall find
Your happiness
@snuffles7 thanks snuffles that helps
@soothingwind I'm so glad! :)
You And I
Tears fall like a fountain from my eyes.
My mind searches everywhere for a disguise.
A disguise for you and I while we go on and live our simple lives.
Feeding from the darkness in our eyes people will never understand you and I
You and I, holding tight in this hell of a world.
Seeing things we can't rebound from.
We are stuck together just you and I.
You and I running threw the valleys and fields hold me tight so we can't let go.
Feeling that you and I will never be free from the world we live in.
Our eyes drip from the pain we have endured.
You and I, will never be heard.
Even though how hard we scream.
Our eyes will still see.
That disguise we once thought was free.
To lift this disguse is to open me.
Hello.. I am new here. I am Bipolar I :/. Lots of ups & downs.. I speed write usually at my worst.. I hope you guys enjoy it.
