Poet B 2d
-
I put glitter on,

just some shiny eyeshadow,

but I like the look.
-
Poet B 4d
-
I wished I could care,

but now I wish to forget,

and move on past them.

Amber necklaces

sitting on a fair collar,

the jewel of her soul.

Poet B Sep 15
-
Enlighten the world,

tell them the cause of struggle,

Wait, your unable.
-
Poet B 3d
-
Soldiers sitting on the dunes

of my sea, hear my tunes.

A siren’s call none can resist,

pulling men to my deep abyss.

Come see what lies within this tomb;

you all will fall,

far too soon.

Poet B Sep 11

"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.

Poet B Sep 15
-
Roses have thorns,

but their beauty makes them wanted.

If a person wants them to be unable to harm,

they cut off the roses thorns-

leaving them defenseless.

Poet B Sep 11
-
I sit, waiting for my moment.

Though that moment won't come if I just sit.

When will I have the courage to stand?

To do something with the limited time I have,

the never-ending timer counting down.

Why won't I stand even with the reminder my time won't be back?
-
Poet B Sep 11
-
Twisted terrors,
in my heart.

Catacombs,
in my soul.

I am a structure,
people don't explore.
-
Poet B Sep 11
-
Leave me to rest on my tower of lies.

Laying in regret, while you go on by.

Poet B 3d

Mockingjay, sweet Mockingjay,

where will you go today?

Will it be the heavens-

or will it be the hells?

Mockingjay, oh Mockingjay,

what will you say?

Will you laugh with those above,

or laugh at the ones below?

Mockingjay, dear Mockingjay,

when will you stay?

Will it be when your wings start to fray,

or when you grow out of play?

Please tell me, my Mockingjay.

Tis a cold day, to go out for a stroll-
Mothers and Fathers keep children in hold.
Horse hooves clatter on the stones,
their breaths frosted white as the snows.

Tis a cold night, to stay out in the dark-
Newsgirls and Boys wish for a spark.
Hands hold another to stay warm,
their bodies shivering through the storm.

Tis a cold time, to the place called home-
Everyone disliked the frosted stound.
Howls of wind and snow go round,
their presents unwanted all around.
I honestly didn't know what to do for the last part, and I think this had a lot more potential than what I made with it...
-
Poet B Sep 10
-
A lie turned to four,
stories made to hide more.

Turning friendships into dust,
causing breakups over mistrust.

Lying causes momentary rest,
but after all it is not best.
-
Poet B Sep 15
-
Hold my hand-
I don't want to be alone.

Hold my heart-
I don't want to be alone.

Hold me-
I don't want to be alone.

I can't be alone, but I can't grab a hold-

please, don't leave me alone.

Poet B 3d

If you shoot for the stars,

and miss,

you won't land on the moon,

you'll fly to the abyss.

Poet B Sep 11
-
Murdered by love I was told,

another girl broken by a tale long grown old.

To be so naive is a sad thing in its own,

though I was once on that very throne.

Now I watch with pity,

as those girls think they're too pretty.

But no one will go easy,

and they'll be seen as ******.

Yesterday, I was asked, "Are you depressed?"

I responded, no, with a laugh.

As I saw a flash of concern,

I paused.

I asked, Are you serious?

And they said, "Yes."
This actually happened. So, yeah.

Poet B Sep 15

Cool air washed over,

as I went in-

a place never meant to see the light.
-
Poet B Sep 8
-
The church is many things all at once,
release and freedom,
tight and constricting,
different for everyone who steps inside.

A enchanting place that holds peace,
an escape from the world,
promising a time of relaxation after death.

A cage that sends chains around the heart-
locking you into fear ridden silence.
Your mind fearful of a being unseen.
-
Poet B Sep 15
-
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?

Poet B Sep 10

You were my sun; my bright star,
center of my life,
I gravitated to you...

"Grant Mercy,"
they plead as they bled.

"Mercy."
I scoff as I mock.

"That was not given by you,
so it shall not be given to you."

"You will have the twinge of regret,
as I make you bleed in a fret."
-
Poet B Sep 15
-
Bound me in ropes,

tie me up high,

put logs under my body,

set sparks along the binds,

then watch as they climb,

higher and higher,

up onto my dress,

I'll be burned like the trees under me,

my screams louder than the bells,

the smell of cooked flesh,

washing through all around.
-
Poet B Sep 16
-
Push me and shove me,

make me bleed out on your hands,

I'll still love you so.

Poet B Sep 15

Whispers about willows,

their leaves sealing secrets,

blocking them from the sun.

Poet B Sep 9
-
Hope is a seed,
somewhat a ****.

Growing tough,
through the rough.

Staying in our flower bed,
even when we think its dead.

Starving is a punch,

one thats uncomfortable pain,

I am in a fight.
?
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.

I love you,

I hate you-

I
just need some time,
just some space.

First time seeing rain,
I thought of it as a pain,
Now it makes me fain.
I was bored so I challenged myself with a haiku. Yes, I know it’s generally not known for rhyming…

Three little numbers

that nudge into my short poems,

leaving a pattern.

Poet B Aug 27
Ash
If one were to ask, if I would let the world burn.
I would say yes, without a turn.

I'd let the hills- let valleys glow like embers.
The blaze roaring above the screams of those caught.

The hot light would graze my skin, grounding me.
I'd let it burn, and burn, and burn.

Maybe then I'd feel something in this life, something to remind me that everything will turn to ash.
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 Sep 9
My dreams are my minds release,
nightmares are my cage,
I am usually locked up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Poet B Aug 28
My heart is a fire, the embers rest in my blood.
Veins set ablaze, sending flames through my core.
On the outside I act cool, hoping they won't see,
the blaze that rattles me everyday.
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.
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.
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 Aug 27
When I lay my head,
down to my pillow softly,
will I wake again?
Poet B Aug 27
My soul wants to burn,
I keep the urge inside me,
Because I'll be dowsed.
Poet B Jun 5
Once alive they were,
now a mass that is observed,
white, and dull, and cold.
Poet B Jun 5
A prison of mine,
a place where time is not real,
where my mind is now.
Poet B Jun 5
A splash was thrown high,
from a fish in the small stream,
as it swam away.
Poet B Jun 9
Abstract and unknown,
That is what I call my home,
Here on this planet.
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?
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.
