He walked into a calmer place,
Away from smoke around his face,
Into eyes of those with wings of grace,
As the dead look on from outer space.

As though it seemed that it was time,
Time to run and time to hide,
Inside his heart he knew he’d stay,
A living amongst not; a needle in hay.


Clouds of dust remind him of those,
Those people who’s sacrifice
they had not chose,
The moon is bright
and the night it glows,
Their crimson blood forever cold.
Deceived by men with hearts of coal,
Without a care for the lives they stole.

So there he lays to rest his brain,
Under corpses of comrades through the heavy rain,
Their faces were frozen in fear and pain,
Had they really all gave their souls in vain?
His wounds meant that this would be his grave,
Is this what it really means to be brave?
Inspired by the sad reality of the events of World War 1. Written by myself when I was 16yo
I'm bored.
Bored of sitting around.
Bored of being accompanied but still feeling alone.
Bored of being up but still feeling down.
Bored of being brave but still feeling scared.
Bored of being connected but still feeling divided.
Bored of moving without movement, talking without speaking, living without living.
So I'll just lie in wait,
Waiting for a light in the dark,
Waiting for order in this chaos,
Waiting for a way out of it all,
I guess that's life; so I'll have to get on.
I'm bored.
Another poem I wrote years ago
For what am I but a man,
Alone I walk, alone I stand,
My mind; the only place where life ain't so bad,
What I can't do down here- up there I can.

And what am I but a fickle flower?
The echoes of silence that get louder and louder,
As I gaze upon my broken life from a tall castle tower,
As the fruits that grew my consciousness turn a bitter wicked sour.

What am I but an unloved creature?
Not a shard of perfection in any of my features,
Although I am dead and numb inside,
I've still God's spine to hide behind.

Hope is not something that one can find,
It's in your soul; it's in your mind,
I fight the evil; my inner inside,
I thought I'd won- but now we're tied.
This is a poem I wrote a few years ago. I'm 19 now and this was written when I was nearly 15
If I had no voice, I wouldn't sing.
I wouldn't be able to say a thing.
If I had no family, it would not be worth
Trying to live life on this earth.

If I had no legs, I wouldn't walk
I'd be immobile like a rock.
If I had no arms, I wouldn't grab,
Hit, punch, hurt or stab.

If I had no thoughts I wouldn't feel,
My arm that was runover by a wheel.
Everything we have is a gift from god,
Whether we're black, white, skinny or broad.
Every one is meant to feel pain,
Even if it's hard to maintain.

I'm grateful for everything I own.
Whether I'll have them in the end is still unknown.
But whatever happens, I'll be ok,
Because life is just a gateway.
There's always better things to come,
And plenty more to overcome
Curled up in my bed,
I am missing you tonight.
It's all inside my head,
Something just doesn't feel right.

I wish you were here,
The stuff we could have done,
Your harmonic voice I can still hear,
I miss my loved ones.
I lie here in wait,
Looking for you brother,
Hiding away is what I hate,
To the world I am a bother.

I looked upon the night,
And gazed up at the moon.
The darkness gives me a fright,
I love you; see you soon.
I think of how much I miss you,
How much I really care,
Your happiness I will pursue,
As a brother like you is rare.

I feel alone and isolated,
To find you I roam,
I would be very elated,
To find my way back home.

Lonely I walk along,
The path that gives me grief,
For you I must remain strong,
But I just can't find relief.

To you I owe my gratitude,
Being one of my own,
Driven by a good mood
Yet still I walk alone.
I wish that I could live a day,
with no bad thoughts and zero pain.
It hurts my body and my brain.
I wish that it would go away.

I wish that I could have no stress,
And free myself from constant press.
Without all  this I could progress,
And some day even find success.

I wish for a world with no hate,
Where love is all we communicate.
It may take years; I'll have to wait,
To see God's plan and it's fate.

I wish that one day people would see,
what it's like to be me.
I'm not all weird; I guarantee.
I can't think of anyone I rather be.
