Existing is tough;
why don't we all just give in,
do the trees a favor

When will my work be noteworthy?
Noteworthy... Oh honey please,
spare me the *******

I want to do something
to make you proud of my mind.
Will you **** me trying?

Graphite poisoning
stains my fingers
my skull is left cracked.

Paint is evidence
that my hands are creating
storing my soul out there

you need to play life
not the other way around
take back the garden

sleep is not sleep when
your brain never rests during
your unconsciousness.

to be real
for you to feel
for power
to move you
for tears
I feel weak
Vulnerable
if I could only just reach
the well of beauty the musicians do
I could believe again

We sit here with our pitiful little lives
Ants. ******* ants
line our poetry on the left side
Why?
Because it makes me feel safe
when I'm never safe
can't feel safe
I speak lines in my head
waiting for the boom
the rush
the power
that never comes
because I'm an ant
I cry
but tears aren't worth anything
human bodies like gods
goddesses
we destroy them
all of them
minds
spirits
we destroy everything
not sure why
1 in 12
seems corny but these are the teens that will try to die
pick your friends
write their names
now for every 12 pick the one that will die
do you understand?
how's that for ******* real
I sit here
waiting for the bomb to drop
but it doesn't because on this world
the only reasons for me to live
are the reasons I give myself

Freestyle:                                My heart
                                                         Coming alive
                                                               Again,
                                                        Finally maybe
                                                             I can live

my heart is coming alive
again yes it's awake now
my old radiance                                      :Haiku

                                                 *Rhyme:                  My heart is coming alive
                                                                                 again, it's on fire,
                                                                                 finally I can maybe
                                                                                 reclaim my significant
                                                                 brand of crazy

Sentence:        My heart is coming alive again, finally maybe I can be free

Literal             I feel so good again and the future doesn't seem so scary anymore

If I can never have you

I know I can't I know I can't
You love her you love another

I'll forever have you in my dreams
hiding in my secret heart
Dreams are just like memories,
without ever feeling the reality
I will taste your echoes
On and on forever
because echoes
your echoes
are better than living at all

Better wrap my legs around you
'cause your eyes send me a blast
Better try to catch your breath
and put your fears in the past
Yeah you'd better close your eyes
I mean it'd be a big suprise
If I stole your soul
and was the cause
of your spirit's slow demise

A thousand miles seems pretty far
I'm lost, I heard you
I'd walk a to you if I had no other way
I think the air is finally safe to breathe again
The world is in your palm now so take a breath and calm down
I'd wait a day just for a maybe
I just don't care
I've got nothing left to lose
Take this and turn it into gold
Everything you thought you had has turned to stone
And be replaced by pints of whiskey, cigarettes and outer-space

Look at me now, I'm fallin'
Living, dying here for you
I've got all the time in the world, but every night I think of you
I confessed to you riding shotgun
I had nothing to hold you down
Now it's killing me to walk away

I need to know your lips
Why don't you want to wake this up?

Would you please just take my heart and melt it down?
It was so beautiful when it was needed
If you could know what I was feeling

I've been in the ditch, I've been through the wringer
All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, is somebody to you
I see you by my house, walking with a different girl

Yeah it's killing me to walk away

Some day soon, I wont be the one who waits on you
I'll be standin' at the top wavin' my *******

But mistress! The bin is intriguing
I'm sorry for all my trouble
and the doors can be oh so deceiving
when they shut I take tumbles
but I go on believing
you'll love me double
when I make my way back inside

Cat must you always come in
in and out
around and about
then put your cold paws on my skin?
I have always let you win
with your nosy little snout
then with a clout
you tip over the cups in that bin!

I chose
the road
less traveled

and you probably
don't know
what to do

forgive me
it is such
a wonderful
place to be

Figure this may help someone today. One never knows.
Have you ever felt lost
Unsure of where to turn
Wondering which bridge to cross
And which one to burn
Pondering every decision
Like it may be your last
The inner turmoil leaving
All emotions on blast
Becoming our own enemy
We turn them inward
Swallowing it all down
We become quite disturbed
Here comes the doubt
Bringing us to our knees
Begging for someone
to hear our silent pleas
Begging in silence
As we watch the world turn
It is for one person to hear us
Our savior for which we yearn
Yet they never come
We find our own strengths
Realizing nothing more than
ourselves testing us at length
So we stand up and rise above
Ready to fight another day
Ready to cross the bridge
Or burn it either way
That first step we smile
Our journey has begun
To find ourselves in chaos
We will no longer run

I really want to see you.
Yeah. Me too.
You busy this weekend.
Not sure... it'll be warm, let's take a walk.

I don't want to see him.
Then don't. Why a walk anyways?
I want to know what'll happen.
What.
We text... I cringe when I see his pictures though. Too many memories.
Call me with details.
I always do.
Going to get back together?
My heart lives somewhere else.

He can't come. But I knew that.
How.
Babysitting. I got lucky I guess.
Oh. Cool.

Heard from him?
Him...
You know who, I'm worried about him.
Right, No word... but you went walking wit--
No he bailed, besides I want to forget everything to do with that.
Well
I'll never hear from him
Chin up girlie.
Tragic. I'm in love.
No you're not.

You can't always win.
He's perfect for you
Give it up, you know I can't.
You can. It would be perfect.
I can never be the same again.
That's cruel.
My heart is somewhere else, sorry.
Wherever it is, put it up for lease.

Through this fire I will make you burn
On and on, you people never learn

With these hands broken scared
I will turn you into a work of art

I'll mend your bones
I'll melt your skin
I'll drag you to the dark


Don't fight
as I tear you apart
Never once always twice
don't even try to get away
you're here to stay

Holding back the fire
Slipping to desire
Waiting for the crash
Everything turns to ash**

how could we face this
How did we turn into this
Broken I am changed
I know ill never be the same

Make a collaboration with everyone. everyone you can get adds a stanza to make a makeshift masterpiece!!! tag it #unitepoems

He who we looked up to
who is everyone's favorite guy
who walks tall and proud
who knows not how we rely on him
whose eyes have always sparkled
is cracked and broken
who trails stars the real kind behind him
who speaks words that could fly if he let them free
whose footsteps grow orchids in his wake
is poetry that cannot be spoken
is hiding behind his mindless joking
who never hid behind his cloak
is dark
is a garden of hope looking really stark
is hiding hurt
a bubbling soul now lies inert
is cracked
will nothing ever bring him back
is rain and shine and colorful days
who has the most amazing smile
is on the top of a building
not hearing
people who love him plead for him to come down
**so he does
