if I was there
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
if I was there
if I was there
I don't know what I would do
if I was there all I would want is to stare at you
if you met my eyes
the fire within would burn your skin
and you would be left with nothing
so you shouldn't let me in

if I was there
I would be absent
if I was there I wouldn't be there for love
I would be there for hate
And all of the things that you do to me

Entertain Us
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
Entertain Us
We sit here waiting, telling you to write
So we can read something that makes us feel inside
But when the author is in pain
We feel the most
Because pain is the easiest thing to feel
We can all relate
We sit amazed as we are cut by the author's blade

I've wrote enough poems to entertain a country
I've let people with a knife made of words left twisted in their chest
Some of them guak and wonder how they found entertainment
My words are harsh
They are blunt
But my blade made of words
Is enough to entertain all of us
This was wrote because I don't generally like people, and I was tired of them, so I wrote something to entertain people

Leave me ALONE
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Leave me ALONE
I don't want to hear it
Don't tell me a thing
I am just a person
Who wants to write
Don't tell me anything
About what is what
And what you like
And what you hate
Don't talk to me
Don't approach me
I want to respect your privacy
If you promise to respect mine
I will be polite
But it doesn't mean that I will trust
Or agree with anything you say
I am just warning all of you
That I am this way for a reason
And I am prepared to fight
To keep everything just safe
Fine and dandy
So leave me alone
I am warning you

The Coronaing Glory

The Coronaing Glory
The corona
The atmosphere around the sun
Beer that is done
Virus that has swept
Through the streets
Of poor little America
We now hold the records
Of people who have the infection
And glory is, all of our working class has gone!
Where are these people?
What have you done?
Oh, I remember.
You gave us corona.
The atmosphere around the sun
Beer that is done
Virus that has swept
Through the streets
Of poor little America
I'm hoping that everyone is home safe and healthy tonight! Yasou has never heald a greater meaning! Good health my friends!!

Who am I to Say

Who am I to Say
Who am I to say
That this *****
That I am lost on a road
Destined to not come back

Who am I to say
That life isn't fair
And that I am just a victim
And everything is worthless
Including me

Who am I to say
That nothing is quite right
In this world of wrongs
That keeps spinning for no reason at all

Tell me that I am crazy
Just like you tell everyone else
You didn't understand
Just like you tell me
When you know that I am right

But who am it to say
That I'm right
Who am I to say
That this is the right
That I am not okay

Who am I to say
What I already know

Isolation Stage
n i c k t h e g o b l i n May 2020
Isolation Stage
Isolation Stage; the stage where the victim
is isolated from their family
their friends
everyone, until it is only them and the predator
You isolated them
You gave them no time
You manipulated them
To the point when they were no longer human
But a perfect little slave
This is the isolation stage
Watch your back
These are the stages of ****** harassment. Stay safe everyone.

Meaning of Life
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
Meaning of Life
I suppose the meaning of life
Is something beyond
What any of us can understand
That we get lost amidst
The shooting stars
The bright lights
Then the shadows of life
Start to pull us into the night
But the meaning of life
Must be for people like me
And you
When we write poems
That help them to feel

I suppose the meaning of life
Is nothing more
Than get what you give
And love who you love
Live the life that you will always want

The meaning of life
Must be to learn
From mistakes past made
And fix the future
With our heart
The meaning of life
Must be to live it
Just as we are
Maybe if everyone knew just how much some people loved them for who they are, they want to live another day.

This Poem Has **No** title
Tired
Drooping eyelids
Quivering lips
I fall asleep
Even though I'm in chains
My weary head rests on your lap
I assure you
That I am a sound sleeper
So if something happens I won't wake
Tears fall from my eyes
Dripping onto you jean-clad legs
I am sorry that I feel this way
People don't hold me close
The only human life forms
That have loved me
Were in my family
And even then barely
So sorry for crying
Even whilst I'm *'asleep'

moving on

moving on
I packed everything up
walked away with my head down
I wasn't done living
I wasn't ready to leave

all my friends waved goodbye
they all wished me luck
they'll never know how much I love them
how much they meant

the tires move softly on the road
that is never-ending
until potholes dip down
and are jolting

life is hard
and I'm tired of moving on

maybe it was supposed to be this way
maybe I was supposed to leave

but right now I'm tired
and I want to go to sleep,
so don't make me move on
I'm not ready

Why She?
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Jun 2020
Why She?
Once I was asked
Why men called boats

And cars

And other worldly possessions
Shes and I realised it was because

It was something they owned
And that is what we are

Something to own
Not anymore

Owning a human just isn't right
Nor is it right

To be a human that is allowed
To be owned

And demeaned

Until that person is nothing

Why she?

I'm sorry

Lacking Title (In the Words of a Poem)
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Lacking Title (In the Words of a Poem)
I have no name
What else is there to say
I have no guide
No way to know if the words will end
So what do I say?
Do I prattle on until everything is on the mend
Or do I just sit here in silence
And hope for the best?

Options, options
What should I say?
Should I have a meaningful speech
Where I say that everyone is great?
Or should I say something along the lines
Of how my life is ****...
(I know that I do that. No false pretenses here!)

Jeez. I just don't know what to do
With the letters, and words
I've been given
Hopefully, I can find a title
Lacking a poem
Everyone fits into a puzzle of life, bringing things to your life that you otherwise lack. Just know that some people are toxic, but everyone is there for a reason. And everyone has a lesson to teach, be kind enough to sit down and listen to it.

Listening

Listening
You never listen to me
There is never time for me
Never any time to acknowledge
My very existence
There is no time
For us to be at one
Never any time for you to listen
To anything I say
My thoughts, my emotions
I just want you to listen
Is that so hard to do?
Is it bad for you to listen to me
When all I do is listen to you?
Never being heard. But is that really a bad thing?

Wanting Something Good
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Wanting Something Good
I've been wanting something good
For all of my life
I have been alone
Running on pride
Men don't see me as vulnerable
Because no matter what
I'll keep my head high
I've been wanting something good all my life

People never know me very well
They don't know that I am
This spikey, visibly bristling person
Because I have been hurt
I have been told things that no person should hear
And I am expected to live
Just like everyone else
I've been wanting something good
For far to long
I should learn that it will never happen
Tired. Living on bad poetry, depressing songs, and sad life.

Goodbye my friends I'll miss you so
I am terribly sorry that I have to go
I'm drained from my head to my toes
So tired of all the people I know

Silence
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Silence
Finding peace in silence
Is like finding hope in sadness
The only thing I have found in silence
Is that my own mind works in ways
That I can't understand
The only thing I have found in silence
Are brilliant words that have gone unsaid
The only thing I have found in silence
Is that when nothing makes a sound
Thoughts become far too profound
To ignore
Making silence as noisy
As a nice Nirvana song
That brings peace of mind
Because I know there people like me
That are as deeply ******* up

Silence is worse
Than the worst thing you've ever heard
Because in silence you can't hear
And the words people think
Forever going unsaid
I have missed many a great conversation
Because of this so-called "silence"
That everyone wants to keep

To me, silence is horrid
It is a waste of time
A waist of hope
Knowing that people want silence
I like to be left alone
But if there isn't a song
I am *******
Silence makes all the voices in my head louder
Makes all the logic smaller
Makes the living harder
So don't tell me to be silent
Because when you do
You are making my life
Completely
And utterly

IMPOSSIBLE

The Meadow
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
The Meadow
A blade of grass tickles your ankle
As a weeping willow branch whisps against your face
You see her standing there with the same pearly skin and white smile
You welcome her into your arms
Smell her blonde hair as it shines in the sun
Flowery vines hang from a place you cannot see

You come to visit her every so often
When you have time to spare
The light shines off her skin, so fare
The love you feel is out of this world

Suddenly she dissolves
A figment of your imagination
But so many other people come to see her
You wonder how you could possibly let her go
She is gone
But you keep her here
In a memory
Something sweeter than honey
Smoother than silk
And even more beautiful
Than any other meadow

Photograph

Photograph
The photograph stares back at me
With gleaming animal eyes
I wonder what thoughts
Dare to survive in his mind
Thoughts about me
That should be quickly shunned away
But linger just long enough for pain
As tears bite at my eyes
I wonder where you went
The man in this photo
Is no longer the person that you are
And everything is worthless
A useless map
Guiding me to places unknown
Places with a lack of hope
And overflowing with wishes
To bring back the dead
But that would be to easy
Waving your hand to bring back the person that you were
Nothing could bring back the man in this photograph
Not a single word could change your mind
And anything could be done to change mine

Wretched
You are wretched
Standing there thinking that you know me
You watch me from your high horse
And think that I am happy
You know that I won't say a thing if something happens
There is nothing left to say at all

You are wretched
A lack of a soul
Make you indestructible
You hurt me more than anyone that I know
Just because I love you more
And for that you are wretched

An indestructible thought in my mind

Nothing More Dangerous
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
Nothing More Dangerous
Nothing more dangerous than the blade tearing into my skin
Nothing scarier than the exhilarating pain that comes from the knife
You told me that I was ******* up
That there was something wrong with me
I didn't argue with you
For I knew that it was true
And I wonder what you have done with my blade

It felt so right
Blade covered in my blood
The little wounds on my arm that declared me insane
Until you told me that I needed a change

You ask me now, 'would you still do it, if given the choice?'
I say no and keep playing the most dangerous game
Little do you know that I still yearn for the silvery blade
The feel of the knife against skin
Perfect little marks on my arm
Calling me with their raised red bits of skin
There's nothing more dangerous than your brain, what you think
And being truly insane

See you in hell
They all whispered in her ear
Little did they know
That she was dying to meet them there

There was finally a place where she could just be
And not have anyone judge her for who she was
But they never met her in hell
They all went down better paths
And she was left all alone
But at least now she could be true to herself

My Escape
I came here to escape
To find refuge in people like me
Guess I ran for no reason
Because they found me here
I ran from life
From things that caused to much pressure
But I ran for nothing at all
Because here they are

As the dull whispers of night
Become hopeless to obtain
I run here
Try to find my escape
But the trees touch my hair
Comb through all of my problems
And the mountains block the sun
Just another thing that I've been running from

My escape was fun while it lasted
I ran for all my might
But they have found me here
All of the problem that I ran from

Undone

Undone
There is little reward for saying I told you so
Little feeling in saying I love you
So much hurt in saying I need you
So much longing in saying I want you
But I can't say it
I fear you and your words
Instead of getting closer to you
I start walking away
We got too close too fast
And now I feel lost in a sea so vast
No one could get me even if they asked

I back away from you
There is a hidden message in every move I make
A secret so big that you wouldn't be able to take it
Everything that happens is a warning
Something that you continue to blind yourself from
You pretend that I don't fear you
And I pretend that there's nothing I can do
Everything is a lie between us
Our life together is coming undone

Glassy Eyes
You have the eyes of a fool
The fool who sits in the corner
And thinks of less than honorable things
While we are stuck here shivering
In the presence of your glassy eyes

You chuckle when we quiver
You smile when we fight back
You gasp when we leave
Because you thought you had enough
Power to hold us back

You snicker when we look away
And think it was just because you caught us looking
But we're looking because we want to take you down
And we are planning all of your weak spots
Wondering where it will hurt the most

I don't want to be trapped
By you and your glassy eyes
Don't worry, nothing's going on. Just got the insperation from a book I'm reading!

Thanks
A word that falls so easily from parted lips
Something that rarely anyone means,
But is always said
I wonder how you can lie there in you bed
And not think about all the things you've done

But we all say thanks
We all think that you're great
We walk around the halls to find ourselves blinded by love
For a guy we don't know
A guy who doesn't care
But now I've fallen into the trap of your beauty
You've glued me into your web

Now all I can say is thanks

strangers fire
A fire lights inside me
At the sight of all these strangers
Who are the people that I know best
Though a time ago
This would have been fun
The fire burns inside of me
Like something I have never felt before
The embers char my skin
Leaving behind
The remnants of my mind
But there is no injury
Worse than the burning
Of my emotions
Leaving the strangers'
Amber glow
In the shadows
Of my own burning emotions

The air on my skin
Makes my mind go into the Deep
I am no longer on this earth
I am somewhere else completely
Forest breeze
Against my skin
Somehow I know that I am home again
Milky stone
That is made of flesh
A catch in your breath
Makes me laugh
The air on my skin
Makes my mind go places I've never been
Stone cold faces
Hearts untouched
But the air on my skin
Is making me breathe again

Until I am liked
I will just keep writing
Allow me one more word
I am tired of being trapped
In a blank page, a void
Imma keep going
Just keep writing letters
Arranged in a breathtaking order
I will steal you heartbeat
I will make you shatter
Imma keep going
Though 'imma' isn't proper grammar
Because I just have to keep writing
I don't care about splendor
Imma keep going
Because I just can't stop
I like the feeling of the sharp words
Carving up my tongue.
Imma keep writing
Because it's like letting my invisible tear drop
Letting them see who I am am
How much I am messed up
Imma keep going
Because I can never stop
I am tired of being alone
And in my words
I find my clone

I wish you knew
The people wearing cheap clothes are the ones you hate most
And all of the girls in pink are the ones of whom you boast
You tell are you friends that you're dating a *****
And everyone of them nods their head and does nothing to disagree
I wish you had known
I wish you had known

You walk down the hall in a red and black letterman
You pretend like no one sees when you know they watch with bated breath
She thinks that you love her for who she is not her shape or her fashionable clothes
She thinks that you care even if you really don't
And all you really want is to feel her skin, look into those blue eyes
Feel that feeling that she always seems to give you
She doesn't make you feel love, she makes you feel alive
I wish you could know
I wish you could know

She sits on the roof where you shared your first kiss
Waiting for you, the lover of she will miss
She knows you don't love her
That you're probably somewhere with another girl who cares not about her
But you don't know that the girl in pink wishes you would care
You don't know how she will still love you through hell and everything else

Instead you sit there content and think of nothing but her curves
Her blonde hair, the way that you should care but can't bring yourself to do so
I wish you knew
I wish you could know why she jumped off that roof

And think of the fastest way to run
The shortest route to safety
When I find myself
In a place that I don't know
My heart stops
And I question
What will happen with the roof
After it falls on me
What bombs have been set
And how long until they go off
Don't look me in the eye
Because all the people who have
Wound up with a blade in their hand
A blade in my back.

Is it Really Okay?
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Is it Really Okay?
Is it really okay
That we let people go down roads
Where we have seen people die
Is it really okay to let people go to war
When the fight that has been started
Was never even theirs
Is it really okay
To tear each other down
When all we are trying to do
Is get through life?
Is it really okay
When people throw their fists through the air
To solve a problem
That we should just sit down and consider
Is it really okay
To have this system that we are all confined to?
To not have any freedom
Even when they say we do?
I say that the way you look
Doesn't make you any less capable
Of doing something that you love
So for those of you who judge
A person by the color of their skin
Or what they have in their pants
Pay less for labor that is equally taxing
Just because they are not the average white male
If you don't ask yourself
If it is really okay
To do this to people
Know that you are a monster
And this world has only made you worse

Giving Stage
The Giving Stage; a stage where the victim is brought something so that all of their needs are tended to
so that they trust, and are in debt
to the predator.
You give them something to make sure
That they are "well cared for"
When really they are just jumping
Into the lion's mouth
Instead of walking past
And knowing that you shouldn't trust them
But you did
And now they will give you something
So that you will be in debt
And never be able to pay it off
The stages of ****** harassment. It doesn't just start when it does. There is a prosses, and these are the signs. Read more, stay safe, stay healthy.

I wish I was not the glass that people broke

Loved Poems
I like your poem
To let you know that I'm there
I will love the poem
To let you know I care
Sometimes, I just look at that heart
And think about sending the best of wishes
Having gone through too much
In too few years
But my judgment
Is clouded by fear
By all those people
Who knows not what I mean
I understand too much
For my own good
I know what it's like to be hooked
On something that is horrible
And drawn to the silvery blade
To lose someone to their emotions
And to love someone that will never love you back
And just the opposite of that
I know what it is like
So I loved your poem
And liked it just for good measure
My friend wrote this in class a while ago. She doesn't have a hello poetry account, so I let her use mine. Thanks, Hanna

But then I am drained
And there is nothing more to feel
Don't talk to me

Takes Hold

Takes Hold
I watch as fear takes hold on your face
The realization of what is to come
Something dark and twisted
Straight out of a science fiction novel
That something might be as bad
As it was on the news
Nothing so horrible
Worse than the words spilling from your lips

The emotion of the past
Starts to build up in your eyes
As I wonder how I am here
Writing about the fear that you feel
Looking into the distance
Knowing everything will be alright
As ash starts to fall from the sky
Another sign that problems will arise
Nothing has ever seemed so real
It was all just a twisted realty
Trust me I never meant to hurt anyone
The words of all the people who want to apologize
Before they are up to bat
To never really got to live long enough to last

Dress Up

Dress Up
Don't dress-up your kids
Because you are making them something they are not
It is not fair
To play against what you got
Don't dress-up your kids
Even if you didn't get what you want
Because they are what they are
People are not meant to be toyed with
And dressed up as a doll
Sometimes girls want to wear jeans
And boys want to wear a shawl
It is not fair
To give these children harsh rules
On what they should and should not do
With their bodies
Don't let them hurt themselves
Comfort them when they cry,
But I am telling you don't play dress-up with your kids
Because what if that's not their way of life
Don't make your kids what you want them to be unless you are making them a successful human being, but always let them be what they want to be.

Please don't cry

Please don't cry
The girl sits alone
With her head cupped in her hands
Her tears spill into the puddle at her feet
And I wonder if it what there before
'Please don't cry,'
I tell the girl
Just as I start to cry too
I don't know
That she is crying for the same reason I am
She is crying because of the loss
For losing what you know best
For me, it was my mind
For her, it was him

'Please don't cry my dear,'
I mutter through tears
'You don't need him,
He did nothing to deserve you,'
I tell her, hoping the sobs
Will come to an end
'That's just the thing,'
She whispers
Loud enough for me to hear
'He did everything for me,
and I held back because of my fears.'
Hope you are all well, and safe in this world tonight!

Beauty must be everything
Plastic surgery
Pain
Everything
But I don't think that beauty is on the surface
Beauty isn't the perfect nose
And pretty (but shallow) eyes
Beauty isn't a "rockin'" body
And long blonde hair
Beauty is what you are
Who you make
With your body
What your soul is doing
With the body you were provided
Our body is just a shell
So that we can get around
Beauty isn't what you look like on the outside
Because I bet your mind doesn't picture you the same
As what your outside body claims

Help
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Apr 2020
Help
I need help
Tears are streaming down my cheeks
I have not thought about anything for weeks
I'm in far too deep
Help,
I can't see the top of this hole
I have dug for myself
With pure laziness
Without a care in the world
Help,
I fear that I am losing my mind
I just want to rest in peace
Looking at my computer
And writing stupid poems endlessly
Emailing my friends
And hoping they don't mind
Help,
I think that I am sick
I've coughed three times within the past two hours
Sounds like I have the coronavirus
Help,
Send it urgently
I am too overwhelmed
Too anxious to speak
Help,
I am hearing voices now
When no voices are to be heard
Help
I think I'm losing it,
This is not what I want
Help me please,
I have no way out,
Help,
I am completely idiotic,
I just need HELP
But this help never comes
And I never heal
I cannot deal with this
It must be unreal
I asked for help a while ago
Now, what do you want to be done?

You
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
You
Sometimes when you’re around me
It hurts to breath
I sit here and wonder how the hell you can’t see it
My everlasting love that feels more like anguish
But I can’t back away
I can’t seem to see the truth
Even though sometimes I would tell my friends about you
But somehow, even if I didn’t feel it I knew
I knew that you were bad, and you were no good
And that you would never fall in love with me
Even if you could
But I still did
I let this small school girl crush consume me
People don’t see it, at least they don’t want to
But I wonder how blind they are
When I can see how much you love her
And how much she loves you

Masked
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
Masked
Masked by silence
Making you think
That he wasn't the person he was
All of the ****** thoughts
That were constantly swirling in his head
Protected by a look
That could put fear
Into a bear's eyes

Masked by a personality that isn't her own
Making you think
She is something that she never was
Something that she'll never be
Fear holds her in its hands
Telling her to wear the mask
To not let anyone close enough
To see what she really is on the inside

These people met one day
They fell in love with the mask
That covered their lover
And told them that everything was fine
Over time the masks slipped
And they were found to be
Incompatible
While their hearts started to ache
To just let go
And let the person behind the mask
Follow you to places unknown
Shrouded by darkness
Where no one can see
The mask and the person wearing it
For they don't want to break another heart
By letting them see what's inside
For they were both masked
Fearing everything but the night

Don't let it show
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
Don't let it show
Don't let it show
It will **** you if you do
But I fear nothing the way I fear you
And you look at me as if I've gone mad
But you keep me tied in these chains
If only you knew

The Girl Who Told Me
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
The Girl Who Told Me
She told me that she wanted to die
She told me that she wanted to go away
She told me she held a gun to her head the other day
I wanted to help
To fix her problems
But I knew that I couldn't fix them
I just wanted her to feel better

I could tell about her to our school counselor
But what good would that do?
She would just hate me more
And give her one less reason to live

She told me she wanted to die
That she had held a silver gun to her head
That she sat in the corner wishing for death
Her mom had walked in
Saw the gun to her head
And I knew she would have done it

She told me she wanted to die
And now all she wants is to be alive
I don't know how to handle this situation, I'm going to tell the school counselor, but I just wanted to put it into words

Momentary
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
Momentary
I continue to lie to myself
Tell myself that everything is fine
And that I'm jolly right
But that's not the truth
I mean why would it be
When everything is so momentary

My voice is monotone
My emotions dull
As my heart beats like a persistent drum
I've been trying to find my own nirvana
My escape from pain
I thought I found it
Turns out that it was a trap

Without Seeing
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
Without Seeing
I have looked upon everything
Without really seeing
And I have gone throughout life
Without really being
Not much has made sense
Let alone been easy
But I have continued on
Looking without ever seeing

Maybe life is better this way
I don't have see what has been done
I don't have to listen to depressing stories
I don't have to watch the news
And pray every night
Hoping these people find some kind of savior
But maybe if I looked without seeing
Heard without listening
Life would be better

Just Because
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Feb 2020
Just Because
Just because I told you
That I like you
Doesn't mean that I want you
Maybe that is completely unfathomable
To your simple little mind
But just because I told you
Doesn't mean that I want you to be mine

Moonlit Forest
n i c k t h e g o b l i n Mar 2020
Moonlit Forest
The moon shines on this forest tonight
As you lie here next to me
And I turn my head trying to meet your eyes
It is then that my delusion of you disappears
And everything is the way that it should be

But who am I to say anything
When the moonlit forest shines so bright
And the tree bows are bathed
In soft silvery light and everything
Is a glow in this lovely night

This moonlit forest surrounds me
As I plead for help
And my desperation turns to anxiety
Everything that is there
Is not supposed to be

In this moonlit forest,
Nothing is as it should be
