Ghazal Tansir "Little buds, you come to life."

Popping out from slumberous state,
Little buds, you come to life.
Fight, fist, fend the odds,
You’re different; you survive.

Combative, commanding, cruel,
Your army, every restraint exceeds,
As it marches on, devouring
The very platter on which it feeds.

Slithering, slipping stealthily,
Deadly tentacles spare no bone, sinew.
Boundaries are blurred; your territory expands,
Your militia continues to exponentially grow.

And soon, your red flags of victory-
Those flags of death, demise and doom
Are planted everywhere; each bit
Of terrain you’ve invaded and consumed.

There you sit, content, in the middle of all the gloom,
Immortal, indestructible, infinite.
With power of the magnitude you possess,
There’s no force that can give you a fight.

And when flies of decay begin to hover over
Your kingdom, you smile, flexing your pincers.
Thriving on the depressing glow of the setting sun,
You- the kark, the crab, the cancer.

(to the malady that ate my Grandmother away)

Carlotta Gamboa "And as I sit here pondering about my life,"

And as I sit here pondering about my life,
The only thing that arouses over and over is you.
As girls, we crave the touch of tenderness and serenity;
To be looked at with presence and with the gold ness in your eyes.
If we are lucky enough to find it, grasp onto it like a rope,
Because one day you will look back and say, "He was my only hope."

Lori Callahan "My life"

Mother's Day has
Come and gone
And my Mother
Has not respond
My heart it
Sings a sad sad
Song
I guess I will
Move along
As I have all
My life
As not a Daughter
As not a Wife
Just little old me
With no identity!

I found out a few years ago that My Dad is not my real Dad. My Mom won't tell me who he is. And she never will. It sucks!!!!
Shannon McGinnis "My fifteen years of life"

“I want to die”
I am unable to respond.
My fifteen years of life
Mean nothing
Compared to her ninety.

She sits across from me
Tears forming
Threatening to fall,
To spread the truth down
Her sunken cheeks.
Her face is stricken with pain
Yet so sure.

My grandmother wanted to die.

“I’m just staying alive for them”
Them being my stepdad and aunt,
Her children.
Again I am speechless
I cannot comprehend her words
When does one’s life stop being a gift
And becomes a chore?
How can the strength to go on leave?
How?  

I don’t know how to reassure her.
How can anyone persuade
Another person that their life
Is worth living?
Let alone a teenager
Whose biggest problem is a pimple?

Death is surrounding us
Covering our bodies
Forcing us to acknowledge it.
I want to run away from it but death will follow
It always does.

I do the only thing I hope will help.
I hug her
Our cheeks pressed together
Our tears joining,
Slipping away
Like the life left inside of her.

Tommy "Why you chose to end your life before"

I do so hope you're not as lost as I,
My young, beloved warrior.
Why that tear bedims your eye,
As you charge forth to your death

I hope you know what you're fighting for,
My passionate, silly lover boy
Why you chose to end your life before
Any of it had even started

I want to know why, naive, young man
You went and left me here alone,
To sit and wonder how I can
Bring you back to me

But every time you hear that name,
I see you burn with anger,
I see your heart burst into flame
With a passion I'll never understand

I don't know what it did to you,
That one inglorious monster,
Of the pain you feel I have no clue
Or of the terrors which came after

So come back to me once more my love,
Don't let it ruin all you care for
And I will help you rise above
The anger and the pain

Just a disclaimer to say this is not about anything that is currently happening in the world, but if that is how you interpret it , I don't mean any offence or to upset anyone :)
lina al sahli "They say life is a question and death is the answer"

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me something  

They say life is a question and death is the answer

They say love is a boat and your the commander

They say the happiest we've felt is nothing like the heavens after

These word of wisdom aren't what am after

somehow I find it soo funny

None of the wise see life as sunny

Only the darkness and no closure

Words filled with remorse or

Some kind of order

So give me the words
Give me the words

Some grow apart

Some need a new start

Some grow more greed

Some lose their basic need

Some get so high

Some fall so low

Some say they'll stay forever

But eventually they'll go

your hope full words aren't what am after

So give me the word
Give me the words
That tell me nothing

lina al sahli "The happiest moments of my life you turned to pain"

My heart is grown wide caring for so many
Yet torn apart  
Blinded by lies they told cause it sounded so sweet like honey
Chocolate coated I didn't notice so naive that , it must be funny
Never really cared never really shared
Kept to myself , cold as ice  but to everyone I just flared
the problem is when I cared I got betrayed
By best friends and lovers now everyone seems fake
There's just so much I can take
I knew everything that was going on ,it was my mistake
With all my strength to move on my heart still aches
The happiest moments of my life you turned to pain
for gods sake why'd do this to me its driving me insane  
But who's the one to blame you fooled me a 100 times I guess the shame's on me
It just makes me wonder will anyone stay true
The answer was bright clear in me and you
Still I know I'll do it all over again
And it'll mean a great deal to me even though its vain
Am not crazy or insane
Am just a human
With a big heart that been torn apart
But my hearts too big that it will always have a new start  
And that's what's keeping me together the fact that I'll love again

Madds "I've never felt so sick in my life."

The black deer graces headlights again,
Unusually an often occurrence.
Beams burn the animal,
But it feels love.
Absolutely, entirely backwards.
The deer is broken,
Like the light reflecting off your cheeks.
Head pain, a headache,
Left little for the mind to chew
And I've been suffering for weeks now.
I drew inspiration from dust off strangers feet.
I've never been so dull, so bland, so colourless.
Mental instability, she's pretty but she's dead
And he's looking for cheap porn.
Welcome to psychedelia and the twisted webs of today's society.
Paint your own empty shadow,
No one else wants it until you join pop
And pop ain't my thing.

fishfingersandcustard "as my life never ends."

I was born of fire,

of a simple flame.

I save many worlds,

yet I take no blame.

It all dwindles away,

into my dark past.

What applause I do get,

it will never last.

I was born of ice,

frozen, cold, and blue.

I am a burden of frost,

a very bitter one, too.

A man of lost love.

A man of lost friends.

My companions die

as my life never ends.

I was born of rage,

war, cruelty, and hate.

That never really changes

once I regenerate.

In this war I face,

I'm a truly lost soldier.

But, you see, I won.

The Time War is over.

Once you have seen me

I will never be a blur.

For my true name is lost,

so just call me The Doctor

fishfingersandcustard "Life with the Ponds"

Life with the Ponds

There was a girl

that I knew for years

When young, she was strong

And had little fears.

When older, she engaged

to a man with such glory.

But she waited so long

to tell me of Rory.

Then we started, with time,

to bring him along.

And in less than a minute,

her Rory was gone.

He vanished from time

and Amy forgot.

While, as my curse,

I sadly did not.

But then with a bang,

the boy did return,

when he was desperately needed,

when life wouldn't burn.

A brave soldier he was

with little to no fears.

He sat there with Amy

for 2,000 years.

Then we saved the world.

Reset, it would be,

but, in return,

it would lose me.

On my way back

through the turning of time,

I took notice

of this cursed life of mine.

Soon through the flashback,

which showed little glory,

I stopped in my path

to tell Amy a story.

It brought me back

into the world.

In time for a wedding

of a boy and a girl.

I had a calling

from the groom's bride.

"Oh Doctor, my doctor,

you cannot hide

You're not imagined,

you are so real.

Come back through the crack

so that it can heal."

And soon I did

as the wind blew

I arrived in a tux,

and brought something blue.

After awhile,

we set off again

Me, happy as ever,

with my two best friends.

And, after that,

It didn't take long

til we went to war,

til they had River Song.

Her life was confusing,

and converged into mine

I didn't realize

she was a lady of time.

When young, she was stolen.

Being trained, was she.

All of that work

just to kill me.

She almost succeeded

but it wasn't too late.

She gave me her lives.

She'd never regenerate.

Later, we'd marry,

when I was to die.

That's what earth needed

to move forward in time.

But yet I survived

in a robot of me

"Oh, clever Doctor,

how could this be?"

I know it confuses,

but one must not know.

It could fill up your brain

so much it might blow.

Now, on with the story,

it's soon to end.

I do not like it,

but it's hard to pretend.

We found Dinosaurs, cowboys,

we held the power of three,

but then came the angels.

They took them from me.

My sweet little pond,

and one of her boys.

I was so broken.

I lost all my poise.

Before all of this,

we ran, and we ran

But now there's no running

"Goodbye, Raggedy Man.
