i am in love with
the sound of my name coming
from your parted lips
a small brief haiku

we never learn
Claire Oct 2014
They told us that when we grow older, we'll become a little bit wiser,
but then why do we keep on repeating the same mistakes we've made when we were young and foolish?
I tried.

Monkey See, Monkey Do
People See, People Do
Society Does, People Do

We are the puppets of society
We are the ones being fed by their lies
We are the ones being washed in their waters of the tamed
We are the ones being forced to accept, and to not question
We are their most prized possession that they cannot run without

To be seen as perfect
no flaws, no edges, no imperfections
If not, we must change,
we must evolve to their ideal standard
To be like their models
with their photoshop bodies and their fake smiles
To be what they force us to be

To act, and not think
To use our fist and tongue
but never our brain
To do with out hesitation
To speak without a thought
To never becoming an original
but always a carbon copy

We are their soldiers
but never their hero
To be saved
but never to save the day
To be the killers for society
but never to be killed

We are puppets
With society holding the strings
We are their model copies
that can never become an individual
To be their ideal image
But to never be ourselves

This poem was part of an essay I wrote regarding my opinions on the society that we live in, and how it negatively affects us as individuals.

Common Phrase
Claire Sep 2014
The most common phrase that people use and abuse is "I love you"
They use it with passion
They use it for control

It is a form of expression
To showcase our emotion
From the tip of our tongue
To the clench of our fist

8 letters
Thats holds so much meaning
It holds the power
The power to fix
the power to break
The bond of two can be stronger
Or it can also be over

Only 3 words
That can give you a smile on your lips
And Only 3 syllables
That can give you tears in your eyes

A meaningless phrase until given a meaning
Full of headaches, heartaches, and
broken promises
But be careful
It can all sometimes just be a lie

The first poem I've written that i presented at an open mic!
