24/F/Earth I've been kind of just writing my own type of poetry since I was about 12. I don't know if it makes any sense when read but I'm hoping to take some poetry classes in college to improve. If I make mistakes I welcome constructive criticism.
I am more than just my body Or numbers on a scale I am more than those grades That say I pass or fail I am more than just my body Not a meaningless piece of flesh I am more to this world But am judged none the less I am more than just my body I have a mind and a soul; A heart that can be broken or made whole I am more than just my body Not an object for your use, Your jeers, taunts and verbal abuse I am more than just my body Not a toy meant to amuse I am more than just my body My face or my size More than a conquest or a prize I am more than just my body I love myself for the person in which I grew And here's a secret, I am more than just my body And so are you.

I am more than just my body
Angels fall in painful silence Feathers fall in slow descent The downy rain with no pretense Coats the earth in a soft blanket Like snow it falls. Crimson stains the downy surface. First the white now the red. Blood it falls as war goes on. Light against dark, good against evil, Right against wrong. Where is the line between the two? What is light and dark? No visible difference to discern Both believe they are in the right But to their origin they return. There is no black or white, good or evil, Right or wrong There is only nature, it’s a double edged sword Dangerous on both sides. You cannot destroy one without destroying the other. Balance is lost, pain is red But who are they to say what to feel? Death closes in on ebony wings Angel of sorrow, Angel of fear, oh Angel of death. I welcome your Embrace. I long to escape the war Infested world drowned in sorrow and blood. Death is the only release. I lie here dying, dying but unable to die. What is this? This curse of immortality? I long for a mortal life, a mortal death. Fate it seems is cruel too in its nature For I will watch many fall before I do. Angels fall and demons reign Death upon death. Pain upon pain. Just surrender To give into death. They have won Demons reign supreme Many fear what this will mean Head my words, take my advice, To surrender is pointless, To die is meaningless, To live is to suffer.

Painful Silence
My hearts a pool of acid My tears are shards of glass I sit in the darkness As time goes flying past. I watch in silence I can't breathe As my world collapses Was it all just make-believe? A series of lies? Lies I told myself Were they your design? Was this the plan? Manipulate my mind And twist my soul So when you were done I was no longer whole? A shadow of who I was A specter in my life Floating through the cacophony The despair I'm Drowning now Drown in the waves of regret Waves of words unsaid. To the bottom of this sea A place with no air and nothing to touch or see Was it me or you? The one who took the leap Or the one that fell? I remember Though you may not A time of love A time of friendship But before I knew it You were gone Sand through my fingers Only a recent all too painful past. My souls' sister It ended all so fast Fading like a dream You dissolve into fading memories Your back to me, You walk into the abyss Disappearing and soon, You're gone Gone is the laughter The joy and love Apathy remains I wear it as a mask To hide my secret pain The truth of my misery No solace to be gained My shouts go unheard The bridge begins to crumble I can't speak a word. The tears fall unbidden I cannot stem the flow I collapse down in agony As I'm forced to watch you go Come back to me I beg you not leave You watch my tears with passive eyes unstrained You know my pain but you make no sound No movement. Did I mean so little? Cast aside without a thought I see now why The answers that I sought Lay before me glowing pale in the dark Help me I plead the shadows They cover me in a blanket of silence Quieting my rampaging thoughts I hear no sound Feel no sensation or pain All is still... Have I disappeared? Faded into nothing? I feel no pain No Tears No joy No bliss No dark thoughts to plague my mind My souls' sister I see it now My life without you Cutting through the inky black Bright and pure Full of fire and life To fight the shadows you had brought I face the light I am stronger now And I'm ready to fight

Your broken words and blatant lies Use to cut me like a thousand knives I sit wondering what I did wrong When it was you who hurt me all along Your toxic breath soaked with sin Betrays the monster deep within Disguised you hide in the form of a friend And slowly try to make me bend Your words are venom your tears are tricks And seeing you makes me physically sick You manipulate as you please And get mad when I don’t bend a knee Your selfish act has destroyed my life And with an indifferent air, you ignore the strife My heart has hardened I no longer bleed From your words of hurt and self-satisfied need You bruise too easily, or so you say But I’m done letting you have your way. Knock me down I don’t care But you hurt my family and you better beware You destroy all you touch And wonder why people leave when it gets too much. Darkness stains your soul Your broken and not completely whole. I’m done I’ve had enough I don’t have time to hear your rebuff Your petty heart and conniving mind Make you think that I am blind. Blind to the games that you play. But eventually, you will have to pay. Pay the price of your egocentric lies Because I will no longer internalize All the pain you made me feel. I wish I never met you I wish that you weren’t real. I have no sympathy for you Or your narcissistic ways. I couldn’t describe the grief you caused Even in One Thousand days. Your heart is empty Your mind is ill You care of no one but yourself And you never will. So now I say goodbye to you and your vexatious words And walk away from your theater of the absurd

We watch with disenchanted eyes As the future comes to pass us by What once brought joy Is revealed as lies And brings to light The turmoil inside We stagnate in our hollow lives Lost from us are the enthusiastic drives A dark cloud to eclipse the sun Our childhood illusions Have come undone A restless soul in human guise Dreams of freedom slowly die With heavy hearts and severed ties We see a future with blackened skies And in the dark we see A life lead in melancholy We travel the world as ghosts Untouched like waves on the coast We glimpse the night Through jaded eyes And a world brought to fright As we fall asleep to silent cries
