forum POEMS post 'em here my friends!

tune

Just one fuck up.
The world feels strange.
Drink from a tainted cup.
Didn't want it to change.
It felt so abrupt.
Can't fix or rearrange.
Again it's corrupt.
No better exchange.

Skateboards and fancy hallways
Of gold ornate hotels
One too many lonely days
One too many tells

Colder in the summertime
We want what we can’t have
I don’t exactly want to die
But I don’t want to live.

Melted tires by the gas station
Left many years ago
Ever building up frustration
And so much left to go

Taking in the fact that I
Only ever give
I don’t exactly want to die
But I don’t want to live

this is summertime depression. This is what it is. I can literally see this exact thing. You portrayed it beautifully.

That exactly what It’s about I’m so glad someone got it

Waffle cones filled to the brim with beer
I guess it isn't so bad being here.

Vodka mixed with orange juice,
So powerful, I feel like Zeus.

Hit me with another glass,
We don't care, it tastes like ass.

If my parents knew what was in my pack
I know they'd have a heart attack!

Pour me some more booze,
We're gonna start to cruise

When we see the sun rise
Keg stand record set again,
Someone get me the prize!
Pass me a margarita
and some loaded fries
Please and thanks, senorita.
Getting higher 'till I touch the skies.

Sneaking back in at half past two,
My parents still don't have a clue.

If you rat me out, if you tell
You'll find yourself with a nasty farewell.

(I'm fucking rambling at this point.)

Looking at the skies
has never been so lonely.
Never seemed so monotone.
Never felt so plain.

It seems that blue
is the new black.
And white has decided
to just stay the same.

All the clouds up there.
They're blocking my view.
I can hardly see anything,
I just want to see you.

So can you tell me
if you're up there?
Or do I need a shovel
so I can start digging?

This silence is
just not fair.
I'm watching planes fly by
And I know they're closer to you.

So are you ever going
to visit me down here?
Or are you just going to keep
whispering in my ear?

Because I won't wait
much longer to see you.
You brown-haired, blue-eyed
angel of mine.

I FELT this

you light me up with the sunset

What am I supposed to do when light paints you over my skin through the window,
Over lines of black where I once asked the world to love me-

You can never cover up or fill out
The jagged darkness tattooed onto my skin,
But you make me feel like I don't have to;
You make me beautiful, so I let you in.

<3 <3 that's so beautiful

Oh I love this one. so pretty

Different
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
That’s what girls are made of.

Daggers and knifes
And bright neon lights
That’s what I am made of.

Little miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating curds and whey.

Little miss Misfit
Sat on a secret
With bruised knuckles with skin scraped away.

Dead to Me
Too many times
I’ve whispered last words in your ear
And written my will in your eyes.

(rambling: part two)

~Untitled~

Dear, whoever you are.
Please just leave me alone.
You're not me, so please
stop pretending to be.

You're ruining my friendships.
You're the reason that She hates me.
You're the reason They think I'm crazy.
And they might as well be right.

I'm sitting here writing letters
to someone who isn't there.
I'm blaming it all on you
when you're probably just air.

But who is else is to blame?
It couldn't be my fault.
I would never be so cruel.
I would never be so… mean.

I suppose I should stop talking
to you. You'll never respond.
You haven't even taken the time
to introduce yourself.

That being said, a bid you
adieu. I give you a sweet
'goodbye' and a gentle 'fuck you.'
May I never see you again.

Sincerely, Me.

I feel like that's about something rather than someone

Idek if it can be considered a thing. idk man i just dunno

I like it :D

thanks :D

y'all ok so its the middle of the night but i just wrote one of my favorite poems I've ever written, turns out eight weeks of insomnia makes great poetry (not that i recommend that)

This One’s For You

This one goes out to anyone
Who’s ever been alone in a crowd,
To anyone who’s kept their mouth shut,
Afraid of being too loud.

This one’s for those who were told that they
Were too young to know who they were
To those who’ve been shot down and silenced
Forced to live in the shadows and whisper.

This one is for the longing soul
That never found a friend
This one is for anyone
Who’s wished for it all to end.

This one’s for the ones still fighting
And those afraid to be known
You are strong and you are brave
And you are not alone.

facts

I want to be dancing
I want to take my finals
I want to make sure my college credits
Still count for this semester
Even though I wasn't there for half of it.
I want to see my guys and gays
I want to learn more, too
I want to save friends' asses when
They don't know what else to do.

When the virus stops,
Lives are saved.
But they won't ever know
How to save what's left of mine.
The next seven years of my life
Are all they care about,
But they never recognize
How much they've destroyed.

As a child,
They want me to be the perfect future,
But I can't handle the rigor
Of losing half a semester
Where we learn around four times faster
Than any normal class
Per class
Per day.

It makes me nervous to know
I'm missing the things that matter.
Not prom or sports games,
But learning how to handle the pressure
Of a fake schooling world.
I guess this is real.
(A real pain in my ass–)
Real pressure.

Paper Plane’s Memories

In a childish dream, I played along
A fragile scene, that’s where I belonged
While a broken heart may shatter
While the cries of some say suffer
I sit here, and enjoy life, like no other

Though it’s hard, I know I will push along
I will stand for love, for life, and for this song
For I know someone may cry
For I know all have to die
I will live this life the way that I desire

In this world, full of trends
I’ll remain the classic one
I will show the world that life is full of fun

If we just play along
To this world and to its song
I know that you’ll find somewhere you belong

In another time where the world was fantasy
Dreams and thoughts may become reality
All those planes you’ve watched a while
Ever since you were a child
Perhaps they were made of papers’ design

In this world, full of trends
I’ll remain the classic one
I will show you all that art is full of fun

String the words you keep inside
Paint the colors you desire
Give some light to the words, to the colors of your life

Let the paper plane take you through the night

Let your thoughts take you to…
A world you designed…

(That just gave me the confidence to post this one—)

Centuries On End

You know when this broken heart of mine,
Has finally stopped beating this time
In this life that we both designed,
I’m sure I’ve enjoyed everything in this life

The day I found and fell for you,
My heart kept screaming that it’s true
The feeling that I never knew
Existed deep inside just to wait for you

And all my lifetime,
I’ve searched left and far right
To look for someone
Who might just be “my life”

And after such times,
I’ve finally found you
Now, do you know?
Could you know?

My repeating heartbeats, they keep telling the truth
That this love of ours is true, even if we’re still in our youth
I will never leave you, just you trust me ‘til the end
We will be together now, from now to centuries on end

You know that this heart of mine,
Beats rapidly all the time
Whenever you come to mind,
Or just the memories of you that come to life

But soon I know I cannot stay,
With you until you’re old and gray,
I’ll have to leave you here astray,
Until then I’ll make you smile day by day

Again, and once more,
My heart screams “I love you”
And more than before
I want to stay with you

A love desired
I found and kept closer
To my heart
To my soul

My unstopping heartbeats, keep on telling me it’s true
That the feeling that I have, is the love I have for you
There’s no reason for it, as our story turns the page
The fact that we’re happy now, that will never ever change

My repeating heartbeats, they keep telling the truth
That this love of ours is true, even if we’re still in our youth
I will never leave you, just you trust me ‘til the end
We will be together now, from now to centuries on end

We will be together now, until my life comes to an end…
