My dreams are my minds release,
nightmares are my cage,

"If"
Poet B Sep 3
Why do i use the word
if it means it's only possible?

if i could change.
if i could smile.
if i could love.

Why can't i say it without the if?

It limits me but
if i stop i don't know what will happen...
Poet B Jun 5
Once a pain
Now a love,
Once ignored,
Now unforgotten.
Sun came out,
I was enlightened.
Words flowed through,
my fingertips,
typing into poems.
I could talk through some words,
None would probably judge it.

"I'm craving a pinnapple,"

she said to her dead phone.

Her voice trembled as she glanced

over to the man watching her from the corner.

The bad ABC
Poet B Jun 9
Aggressive, arrogant, and abusive,
with aggravation and absence,
and accidents that alarm.

Broken, beating, black and blue,
with bruises and blades,
and burns that blister.

Cold, cancelled, and captive,
with clashes and chills,
and contagiousness that corrupts.

rose
Poet B Aug 28
i am a rose,

i am full of thorns.

i am a bud,

i am growing.

i am a root,

i am my support.

i am a rose,

i am doomed to wither.
Poet B Jun 6
I can’t help ponder,
the essence of time,
For once time goes,
It is forever gone.

The time I’ve used to write this,
cannot be given back,
Me, the one in control of myself,
can only take time away from myself.

I don’t get to add it.
I can’t change it.

I do know I won’t waste my short term here,
doing nothing of some worth.

Frozen in Time
Poet B Jun 5
My heart is frozen in time.
Stuck in the past,
And unable to move on.

My thoughts are frozen in time.
They stop working,
And just stay the same.

My eyes are frozen in time.
Forever showing the things I wish to forget,
And not seeing what’s ahead.

My body is frozen in time.
Stuck in place,
And unable to move.

My brain is the only thing still functioning and it’s making me mad, for why can’t I just relax? It won’t stop going on and on and on and on till the point my mind is just a jumbled mess. Why can’t I just have a point of relaxation a time for me to rest and enjoy my life instead of being pressured all the time when will I have my time?

And until then I’ll be frozen in this terrible time.

She is Me, I am Her
Poet B Jun 5
In the meadow she did lay,
Frozen in her own decay,
Broken by her day and age,
She was made a display.
Once wild and free,
Now made to stay,
Cracks in her heart,
She was made to be seen.
In her mind,
She was cold,
Colors washed,
No longer bold.
She is me,
I am her,
Our reflections blurred.
One day light will shine,
One day free in mind.
Till then she’ll lay in dirt,
An image of one’s wrongful mirth.

Poet B Jun 9
“I hope you’re happy” is what I scream into the wind.

Singing with Olivia makes me feel blind.
Blind as in ignorant, because ignorance is truly bliss.
I learned this as I learned the truth of the world.
All roses are beautiful, and all roses have thorns.

We are the roses, we are the hands that are cut.
Poet B Jun 5
For how can a child be called immature,
If the adult is the one showing the worst?

I cannot do wrong if I am not taught wrong.

A child can’t be bad if it hasn’t seen bad.

Why blame a child for the despicable behavior that the adult failed to keep from it?

Why blame anyone at all, for we have all experienced it.

Can’t we fix the idea of immature by teaching a different course to the people that will one day be grown?

Their Love
Poet B Jun 5
She had layne,
He was pained.
She gave glares,
Him in snares.
Her love gone,
His was chains.
One moved on,
Another stayed.

Though she left,
He’d wait on her.
One day she’d return.
Yet again a random work, because I’d perfer not doing my class work.

First time seeing rain,
I thought of it as a pain,

Drowned
Poet B Jun 9
Gasping for air,
clawing for breath.
Held in place,
by cold, wet hands.
Breaking the window
of the lake’s glass.
Air rushing in,
such a refresh.

The Knife
Poet B Jun 5
Crafted in one’s mind,
made into existence.

Though made to be looked at,
it craved to take essence.

It wanted to see red,
it wanted something dead.

And the holder was the one that did it.

Glare on the Window
Poet B Jun 5
Through a window,
She did see,
A place where,
She’d be free.

In this place,
Trees grew high,
Oceans waved,
Birds cried joy.

She couldn’t help,
But ponder where,
Would this be,
How could she?

Then she blinked,
Brought back to life,
Her world gone,
And she kept on going,
Leaving the glare on the window,
Be one that’s behind.
Was daydreaming in class and I made this up. Btw thanks to all the people blowing my notifications up! <3

?
Poet B Jun 5
?
I felt a pain,
Tight in my chest,

Weighted down,
AM said my clock,
Stop said my mind,

All of this pain,
Lifted from me,
Like a hand,

And I was free,

Darkness gone,
Ready to spring,
Emotion challenge,
Am I to pumped?
My body seems like I can’t do much.

Haiku 4
Poet B Jun 9
Abstract and unknown,
That is what I call my home,
Here on this planet.
Poet B Jun 5
The mirror broke just like her soul,
cracked and split like her heart,
but she would break it again,
so she wouldn’t see herself in the reflection,
but a cracked mirror showed you over and over,
you smaller and smaller,
but she liked it better this way,
for she did feel smaller,
she didn’t feel whole, so a broken mirror was better.

Even though she would never learn to love herself as one.

Light
Poet B Jun 9
Everything needs light to be seen,
and until then it remains unknown.
I feel unknown,
but I have light nearby.
I have been seen,
and it makes me glad.

Nature
Poet B Jun 9
I dance in the rain,
I play in the sun,
I cry in the wind,
I cringe in the warm.

I watch the clouds,
and I count the stars.

Nature is round,
and I embrace.

Even if I don’t enjoy,
I still think it’s to be desired.

Nature is round,
and one must embrace.

What else could ever take it’s place?
Super stormy right now where I live, so I was inspired to make a little feelings/nature poem.

Poet B Jun 5
A prison of mine,
a place where time is not real,
where my mind is now.
Poet B Jun 5
I am undefined.
     My edges are blurred.
                 I am too soft to cut.
                          I am too rough to hold.
                                    I am invisible to some.
                                            I am too visible to some.
                                                       My heart is scraped.
                                                               I have scraped others.
                                                                    What am I? What do I do?
I am undefined.
     My edges are blurred.
                 I am too soft to cut.
                          I am too rough to hold.
                                    I am invisible to some.
                                            I am too visible to some.

I am undefined.

Humanity
Poet B Jun 5
The only thing keeping us from savagery is rules,
For without things in place morals would dissipate,
For we would do unspeakable acts…

Till then we block out the need for violence,
We make things happen so others don’t.
We need these or humanity will fail.

Again and again and again.

Cold Embrace
Poet B Jun 5
“Jump into the water.”

But I didn’t,
For how do I swim?

“You’ll be fine.”

Will I be fine,
Will you jump in to save me?

“Of course, silly.”

And I trusted,
So I had jumped.

But instead of warmth I felt cold.
I was being pulled.
Not towards air,
But below,
Down,
Low.

The last thing I had,
Was a Cold Embrace,
From the thing I feared,
How unsettling,
For me.

Why?
Poet B Jun 5
Why should I try my best,
When my smarts are “seen” on tests?

Why should I work hard,
If I already know what is to far?

My teachers say that I am smart,
But I don’t try when it comes to heart.

My passions are far from school,
A place that makes me feel uncool.

Why can’t I just be left alone,
In a place I call my own?

To my dear Rose,
Poet B Jun 5
To my dear Rose,

I wanted to talk to you,
but you blocked me, heh.
Hopefully you didn’t forget,
The roses I’d sent last week?
I know your with Jermey,
Or Jim, or Kai.
I just want you to know,
I’m still your nice guy.
I know you were just kidding,
When you told me no,
For how can’t you love me, Rose?

-Your Man, H
(More parts are coming, one each day.)

Roses have thorns,

If a person wants them to be unable to harm,

they cut off the roses thorns-

leaving them defenseless.

I want silence-
Poet B Jun 5
I want silence-
Not of conflict,
But in violence.

I want silence-
Not of thoughts,
But in obscene choices.

I want silence-
Not of people,
But in those who don’t listen.

I want silence-
Not of opinion,
But in discrimination.

I want silence-
Not in love,
But in toxicity.

I want silence-
Not in life,
But in the world.

I want silence, just not as one would usually think.

The Call
Poet B Jun 5
Carried by the wind,
a maiden’s voice rang out.

Paired with the darkening sky,
her song a haunting tune.

A young man heard The Call,
and couldn’t help but wonder,
who could sing so beautiful.

Wandering to the shore,
her voice seemed to get louder,
and he began to ponder.

Was this song meant for him,
Or for another?

He turned back away,
into his little shack.

Carried by the wind,
a terrible shriek rang true.

Paired with the darkening sky,
one could only doubt,
what would have happened,
if he tried to find out?

Broken Clock
Poet B Jun 9
If a clock breaks,
time does not.
The world moves on,
without a thought.
Even in days of love,
if one clock stops,
the other still runs.

When ones clock snaps,
or cracks or shatters or stops.
Stay with them,
as one day it will tock.
I don’t know how I feel about this work, but as usual I’m posting it on here.  =)
Poet B Aug 28
I'm bold, bold, bold.

I thought I could melt your heart,
and warm the iceberg in your chest.
Honestly, I'd thought I'd be your best,
but I was not made for that test.

You're distant, distant, distant.

I'm here, here, here.

You think of the future,
and I see the current world.
Honestly, I wish you'd look around,
but you won't turn your head to me now.

You're oblivious, oblivious, oblivious.

I'm aware, aware, aware.

Of they fact that you'll never stare,
but I still hope you will.
The warmth in my heart,
will go cold before my love disappears.

To my dear Rose, ll
Poet B Jun 6
I wish you would talk to me,
it’s so hard without your voice in my life.
Do you want me to send more flowers?
Do you want Jeremy, Jim, or Kai?
Or do you hide your feelings of me from them?
I know you love me more than you love them.
I know.
So, how is your dog?
I saw you walking him yesterday,
though you didn’t wave,
you looked scared.
Probably because you thought something was gonna happen to your pup.
His name is mine, right?
I know you want me in your life,
so answer back!

Your Man, H

The water rushed at her face,

the priest dunking her in.

Mouth closed tight-

eyes closed tighter-

Pulled back up,
she couldn't help but wonder,

Was she now a child of God?

Why couldn't she have been before?

Now was she worthy to go to heaven,

or had she always been?

The reaper
Poet B Sep 7
I danced with the reaper,
his sythe on the ground.

                        His cold hands sliding along my back,
                              spinning me dizzily around.

Right as his grip tightened the music stopped,
and I felt his boney hands drop.

                         His gaze shifted to another soul,
                           and I felt a sense of relief roll.

As I went to leave I heard them dance,
but she didn't finish her dance with death.

Fear
Poet B Jun 5
Isn’t fear as dangerous as greed?

For it could make one do terrible things.

If one had fear,
they would be tense.
They would make sure,
to tell of their own,
till whole groups thought alike.
And once a community,
has one mind,
it only ends with a fright.
