Just something I wrote when I was bored. I already know it sucks, so don't persecute me.

I Am

I am just a person,
Just a regular kid.
During the week I go to school.
On the weekends I sleep in.

I am just a person
That you pass on the street.
Just another face in the crowd
That you won't remember passed next week.

I am just a regular person;
There's nothing to remember me by
Except that I'm out to save the world
One person at a time.

I am just a normal person
Doing the best I can.
And even if you don't like it,
This is who I am.

klguddat the imagery is so awsome but what you're saying is confusing

One of mine with no title...so yeah. Tell me what you think.

City lights dance across your face
As I readjust my gaze
You're reading my lips as I feel your embrace
I hold you and I am amazed
The quality of life has lessened
As I hold you in my arms tonight
I should've have learned a life lesson
But all I could think about was life
You should've have said no and taken me home
But we both know I'm to stupid to leave
Now I'm stuck with all of this and I think you should know
You're not the one who has caused me to grieve
My pain is selfish, as my life is dull
And you are leaving me while I'm stuck here at home
This has no where to go, so I'm waiting to end this lull
The silence is echoing inside my head
I say goodbye to the empty space in my bedroom
I feel as if I'd be better off dead
But I have to suffer the consequences and accept my doom
You've left the city lights behind and taken the dark cold night
Into your arms I fall, the smile just says it all
You can't take the words back as you take the knife
With one full swing, you begin to fall
I laugh as I see you crying in your head
You're pain reminds me of someone I once knew
Someone who loved and lived to believe,
And decided against it, and now she's dead

My wispered words are lost,
Floating away through the mist,
Like hungry seagulls seaking at all cost;
Not close enough to feel sunshine's kiss,
In the cool sand, by the rolling tide,
Surrounded by the sea's horizon, forever on and wide.

So I sit, not at all by myself,
As another world drifts through the pail blue skies,
There's me and the ocean, I know nothing else,
So with all my memories I lye,
For the same thing will not happen tomorrow,
The ocean waves fight, carry me from my sorrow.

Washed-up shells have beauty unseen,
Underneath lies the shining breathetaking
Wonders that'll seem like a dream,
It's these fragile secrets that're waking
Winds that throw themselves along my back,
And my mind ponders all I lack.

Sail boats glide acrossed deep blue glass,
My thoughts wrapped up in the warmth of the past;
Disappearing over the horizon is my white mass,
How nice to be detatched atlast.

I’m the victim of a stolen yesterday

But who isn’t?

I told myself this
And time went on and on
With no relief
There’s no relief when you’re mind
Is the terrorist
And it’s your own thoughts that scare you
when you lie in bed at night
and wish that he was there to hold you
and make you feel that everything important wasn't gone
and that caring wasn’t worth it-- or at least not now

This is one of many I wrote to my girlfriend. It's one of my favorite:

With every hour, every sunset
I think the winding path will narrow
Hilly back roads oscillating up and down
Puddles collecting at the lows
And comfortable warmth at the crest

We have traversed the country
In search of peace and happiness
Liberty from the stressful world
A source of direction for each other
Stars at their zenith to shed light on the path

We have taken many roads and have climbed many hills
Since the time we met to form one navigable path
Straight through to the end of time
Into the sunset blazing red on the horizon
Looking back to recall our fun and smiles

We touched each other, warming our bodies,
As with the sun’s submerging beneath the earth,
There comes a chilly cool air, which is quelled
By the embracement of two lovers in the country,
Enchantment resting between two moist lips

Time will tell the destiny of our love
But surely to be found there is a bright future,
Distanced from the horizon,
Beckoning onwards our journey into the sunset

As time has passed, I have come to accept my future
The thought of my life playing out before me
Frightened me at first, you and you alone in my eyes,
Could it have been possible to conceive the gorgeousness of life?
Had my once lonely destiny been altered?

I am in awe of your spectacular charm
Your determination, wit, beauty, uniqueness
I am drawn to you like the very sky is drawn to the Earth
At the crest of the very hills we traverse

You have amazed me with your love
A new meaning given to the sunset,
A new meaning given to life,
I have been made to feel necessary again
As if I am important at least to you
In the grand scheme of things

I want you, I need you…
I love you

I write it graciously and without second thought or hesitation
The words skip across the paper with gleeful resolution
To the sad truth of a once belittled boy
Who had been living a life he wished not to have

No more, no more
I see the glorious truth of life
And I have you to look forward to
Dancing about my mind day in, day out
As I breathe, I breathe you

This path we take is uncertain
I think it will narrow
The hills will cease
And the direction assured

The path may narrow to one point
Showing the way to the sunset
And everlasting joy

But it is uncertain

I don’t see where this path will lead me
Or take us for that matter
And I can never say for sure
But I turn beside me and see you
And I thank the sunset
That I am not alone

I thank the sunset
That I have you
Evermore

My eight year old sister wrote a poem....

BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE
I look at the world
As far as I can see
All the world is beautiful
So many things to be
Theres things like trees
Insects like bees
All of them send one message
The world is beautiful to me.

I THINK MY SISTER IS REALLY GOOD FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD!!

I'd like to make a correction on that poem.
------
"My regain is overpowering as I face the crowd of life. I found my strength I'd thought I'd lost when I see the weakening smile."

kthanks, bye.

-If You Have Nothing To Stand For, You'll Fall For Anything--

Strength[B]
I run the race of time in a battle of victory or defeat.
The ticking clocks of life swarm over me as I try to decipher my willingness.
I run and I run until my strength has then withered.
I'm losing the battle.
My knees buckle beneath me as my sould begins to depleat.
I fall as though I've been defeated yet, I realize what's to come.
The strength I'd lost is swelling up within me as I feel reborn.
I seen you.
I heard you say that it's not over and I can do it.
My regain is overppwering as I face the crowd of life.
I've found my strength I'd lose when I see the weakening smile.
I found my strength.

Thanks.

I liked "Free Spirit", Hurley. Just wanted you to know. : ]

And I best liked your second to last stanza, Cap.

It’s Deeper Than That


It’s deeper than that,
There’s more than you know.
It’s hard to explain,
But I can’t let it go.

‘Cuz it’s deeper than that,
I need to tell you but I can’t.
I wish you could know,
‘cuz it’s deeper than that.

Deep inside me, there’s a searing pain.
My blood hot, boiling in my veins.
Like someone ripped my heart out
And tore it in half.
You’d never understand
‘Cuz it’s deeper than that.

But it’s so much deeper than that.
I cry myself to sleep every night
And fake smiles and laughs every day of my life.
It’s deeper than that.
I wish I could say,
But it’s a secret I can’t tell you,
At least not today.

'Cuz it's deeper than that.

i really like your style sphinx...heres a couple of mine...



WE DIDN'T MEAN TO:



I cover my face, bring my knees to my chest
Hardly feeling the sting where your hands come to rest
Over and over, so I just silently wait
If I survive this, I leave up to fate
Eventually you scream "get out of my sight!"
A six year olds future isn't looking too bright

In a house, in a town not to far away
Look in the corner to see what she say
"I hate you" is engraved there on the frame
Over and over, the words read the same

In my head, I can still hear him scream
Wishing to death, the belt was a dream
And yes, I recall every slap to my face
There are some bruises, even time can't erase



FREE SPIRIT:
There isn't a reason, besides I'm alive
Into the world I cant help but dive
With the music blaring loud in my ears
There's nothing to do, but throw away fears
I only have one shot, or maybe there's more
But just in case I'll pick myself off the floor
Finding nothing in the world to be black or white
I'm in no place to decide whose wrong or right
Even if I am the only one to love me
In my heart I'll know I'm eternally free
But I cant lie, that isn't completely true
Of those who adore me, I have quite a few
And my love for them isn't any less strong
Nothing in my life feels to be wrong
When I soar like a bird over this land
Why should I crawl, when I know I can stand?

Just some crap I wrote when I was pissed off the other day

This isn’t real, this isn’t life
This isn’t joy, this isn’t strife
This is just me being myself
Sitting around, my heart on its shelf
This is not who I want me to be
This is a shell of someone not free
This is a dream that I can’t get to end
This is a me that continues to bend
Always trying my best but I never change
And now I’m not at all special, not even strange
It’s a constant effort and I’m getting tired
Tired of being this invisible liar
Just blending in, being human filler
A waste of space, a door or a pillar
An overlooked knickknack that’s been there for years
I’ve stopped being a person, no hopes no fears
I bide my time with no where to go
No one to turn to, nothing left to let go.
It’s just her now, all alone by herself
Sitting around, her heart on its shelf.

To suffer
You live
To struggle
You live
To cut
You live
To obey
You live
To exist
You live


To rest
You die
To escape
You die
To be free
You die
To forget
You die
At the end
You die

To live
Is to die
I chose to live
But I want to die

Speak! Like the Morning
with beams of sun warming me
you shall speak to me.

For your soul I don’t weep
From your nightmares I can’t sleep
You left this world of mine
But I’m doing just fine
I’ve found what I need
It’s for my arm to bleed
***
No more grief, no more sorrow
I don’t care if there is no tomorrow
I don’t know why I live; I do, but in vain
So I cut my life away, I cut a vein
I have lived, I have suffered much
And your curse I have once touched
***
I shot the door, I turned off the light
And enjoyed the loneliness of the holy night
Pure blood lying on my blade
All the miseries of the day would fade
A helpless soul that’s what I am
And my life, my grave, has just began


so , plz tell me what do you think ?

Life’s Lessons
Remember
In the face of it all smile
You never know
What will come your way
Be kind
Someone is always
In more pain than you
Do whatever you can
To lessen that pain
Shine you light
Someone will see it
And take up hope
You can change the world
One person at a time
One moment at a time
Never waste time
Or it will escape.
It’ll leave you empty
And lonely
Wondering what happened to life.
Live like each second
Might be your last
And live like you might live
For a hundred more years.
Never forget to smile.

It hit again that need the longing
pulling me down in to the pit again
so I'm stuck again
in this hell again
no way out my friend

I need it
like the junkies need their fix
is it a drug? maybe
I just know I crave and need it
and I cry cause i wann be free of it

Ooh! I like.
I love the prose form. It's what I write in most.

Really great imagery; I felt like I was there
watching the drunked dude and feeling everything that was going on.
What I like least is the "I hope he's okay" lines, but they do help point out that "it's all for love". I really love the scenes in the poem.
