We'll see how this goes! Started writing poetry... two days ago. I like things that are beautiful, so why not create some poetry! I'll leave only my honest ideas in here, that way I can keep all my lies for the people that really need them out there.
They say beggars can't be choosers
And truer beggars there never were
Blessed with able minds
Bodies
Souls?
Lively and lithe, blessed by chance
Complaints for your coil;
an affront to existence!
Breathe easy, it's what we have
Stardust and daydreams,
pandering --
benefactors of infinite fortune
The stars have graced you
(once!)
with immutable form
So find grace.

everything is ticking
at a thousand beats per minute
like a quickly muttered poem
out of line
like quicksilver clock
spinning to my life's devotion
turning faster only if
your hand's in mine

when your body collapses
and your mind tugs the reigns
when your soul is on fire
your heart's not to blame
that brave heart went on fighting
when all hope was long gone
and after diving through Hell
it still knows our song

I got you something nice
that I thought you might like
I wrapped it in my sincerity
before giving it with care
You tilted your head,
one curious look and a sigh
-You have the prettiest sigh
--it reminds me of silk
The little gift cried at me
as if to say it wanted my breast
but you seemed so amused
so I left it to you

trail a trail of pretty thoughts
right on home and through to naught
gather your arms and hold on strong
break into dance, then burst into song
love a love like nothing else was
throw up your fists, if only because
give them no reason, no reason at all
that you walked the earth 'till you had to crawl

You're going to do something big
A crazy passionate leap
Oh, it will be very dangerous
You'll probably lose it all
It's going to eat your mind
stop your heart
burn your spirit
and leave your body ten years closer to Hell
You'll doubt yourself every moment
and you'll scream in frustration
-I bet you'll hate everything
everyone
and yourself
It's going to be intolerable
You'll scream at yourself
"Why, you *******
but you won't have any answers
You'll survive.
You will glance into a mirror
wondering on those new scars
Seeing that you fought everything
to get nowhere
Enjoy this time
as it will be the greatest stillness
that you will ever know
Once you've lost it all,
once you're broken
once
you
are
consumed
You will finally laugh
knowing that you lived for the first time
But they'll think you're insane!
...and they will be right
Because you looked deep,
directly into the eyes of God
and you never blinked

I woke up again
not that I meant to!
I kept hoping and dreaming
for it to never happen
Just live with monsters
Those that dance in my dreams
I can fight them!
they only grab
and claw
and rip
Having ***
with the wrong girl
for the wrong reason
in the weird world where forgotten ghosts go
I liked feeling pathetic
That was simple;
more than this dream
Loving the right girl
for the right reason
Then that ****** clock
that grabs me by the throat
that plucks me up
It bashes me around
birthing me again into this ugly old dream
I liked that other one more
Where the monsters would grab
and claw
and tear
Where the wrong girl
stole nothing from the sky
just laughed and left

I want to do something stupid
I want to run to a big city
Run there right now
so I can smash something important
break both my fists open on a wall
And it isn't because I'm angry
not anger here, ha, anger got boring
I want to do something to rattle it up
Shake the cold off my brain
and wake up under mourning stars
I want that crisp feeling of loss
and to feel rejected when I hit bottom
Break some hearts and wreck some cars
Watch the universe judge me
as I scream at everything that won't change
When it's all a joke that's what we do
to wake up and start laughing
We gnash our teeth and grind our boots
because we've done everything else
and it's all tasting stale now

Wine & ***** dinner of losers
A meal of people who aren't quite right
It's what I eat when I know it's gone
A bottle to hold when I can't hold you
Something to my lips that isn't yours
Yeah, that's what people want to have
To have when they're thinking about her,
because it tastes sick, just like love
It makes me stumble and thrash
so I can feel the pain in my stomach
instead of deep inside my heart
So I can feel numb, not paralyzed
So I can forget I was anything else

A million little curiosities
they pitter-patter along
day by night by foot
So many tragic stories
and strange endings
Can I watch them?
How can I not?
their busy feet slapping
the pavement so steadily
Like a happy toy drum
Look at a million boredoms
ready, grabby ********
Do I want to watch them?
Why would I?
It's a sorry dance to see
watching them scurry
A few of them know it
as they curl into bed
New dreams stab their brain
but where is room for dreams?
No, you silly fools
you're almost late for work
