She is laughed at
As they grab away
Pinching at skin
And tearing at clothes
But no one will stop it
Because no one can see
The warrior she's meant to be

She cries when they don't stop
And just leave her alone
But alone she always was
For friends she had none
Because no one can see
The warrior she's meant to be

In a world full of love
She was the one hated
No one ever said hello
As they were to busy saying goodbye
Because no one ever saw
The warrior she was meant to be

Fear me
Zavid Mar 2016
sleep fears me
this is why i can't find it
hiding and taunting me
with hopes of having a dream
but with satisfaction of knowing i won't
it whispers to me that i am tired
yet it will never come
to put me out of my misery

My Religion
Zavid Mar 2016
From the teen that died in a car crash
To the solider who died in a violent flash
From the drag a depressed teen takes
To the suicide decision a loved one makes
These are my people

From the mirror a beautiful model sees
To the honey of the sweet bees
From the trees in the wind
To the way aluminium bends
This is my world

To the stock market crashing
To political parties bashing
From taxes full of hate
To a presidential debate
These are my politics

From breakfast in the early morning
To a funeral full of mourning
From the way I sing my sad song
To the night for it is long
This is my life

From the people
To the world
From the politics
To my life
This is my religion
This is just a way I see religion and I do not wish to offend anyone. I believe that everything around us control religion because, for a decent sized group, religion controls how they act and such.

Spring
Zavid Feb 2016
A red orange blossom, on a tree it grows
Over my head as the wind blows
The sweet less scent, being carried away
The last cold of the year, beings to fray.

A Lonely Winter
Zavid Feb 2016
Frost bites at an empty hand
Snow covers and empty land
Hats cover hairless heads
Tombstones cover the freshly dead
Familiar faces wear stranger's smiles
I've been lost for many miles
My old home forever lost
A new one found, but at what cost?

what i have left
Zavid Apr 2015
nothing hurts more
than my lover's dying wish
of putting together the puzzle

death is only the beginning

a baby's crying
is the happiest moment
to see that new life

birth ended it all

her mother is gone
she has her eyes
to remind me everyday

life laughs at me

If a battle were waged
and my side were losing
I couldn't find myself
doing anything but standing tall
but then again, I don't stand

If a day were to pass
and I were not to breath again
I wouldn't cry out
in a rage of unfairness
but then again, I'm not angry

If a note were to be sung
and by a sweet voice other than mine
I wouldn't doubt
that an angel of no other sang it
but then again, I'm not religious

a drop of water
Zavid Apr 2015
my tear will drop
into an ocean
because no one cries
over one drop of water

my tear will swim
through the hearts of no one
because it is lost
in the sorrow of others

my tear will die
with its owner
because he is the only one
who held it dear
Zavid Apr 2015
I wish I was no one
but then I could be anyone
as someone might say I would be everyone
if anyone at all

I could jump and fly
but I am a blue no one

My hate
Zavid Apr 2015
A flood of hopeless souls swallow me
Down these endless prison walls I still walk
While shuffling past Him, at Hate I plea
Ending me gladly, that remorseless Hawk
Berating me as i attempt to block
Infects my inner, that out visage
My outer stiff, my inner longs to talk
That dreaded Hate, destroying my image
Angles, Demons, in a constant scrimmage
Thoughts, bright, red, fill my once beautiful head
My former sanity, now a vestige
My only cause, Hate, the reason i've bled
My love, He hates, as I begin to cry
As I realize both him and I must die
This was written by both my friend and I whose name I will not release to public as my name isn't real on here either we will call him George

I run
Zavid Mar 2015
I run to drown out fear
and to block out pain
no I do not run from them
I run for them

I run for heartbreaks
and nightmares
that cannot stop me
for I run

I run from love
and hate
because you cannot know one
without the other
I'm a runner. It is what I do. Nothing stops me from running. Well maybe the cold, but that's just personal preference.

Didn't I hit the note wrong
or use incorrect grammar
yet here are praises
for what but the wrong thing?

Weren't you offended by my sarcasm
and don't you want to yell at me?
but here I am
walking away free

Aren't you tired?
of reading my ****** poetry
yet there you are
holding my notebook....

Maybe I'm wrong
about being wrong
and we all are right
about being ourselves

My lips meet yours
magic is happening
I'm the luckiest person in the world
it's a short kiss
but I've only just started kissing you

Our finger tips are barely touching
your hand is slipping away
I love you's fill the air
you're walking inside
but I've only just started saying hello

the book was amazing
my favorite

Taste
Zavid Feb 2015
a book with oh-so-wonderful words
is a life of no other
with taste and smells
that you've never experienced

a girl with the most beautiful eyes
that break through you r skin
that makes you smile

a slice of pizza with so much cheese
it steams as you put in your mouth
taste like you want to feel
but the girl is always better

Bleed
Zavid Feb 2015
In beautiful shades of red
while no one is around
so no one can hear
your blissful cries that escape
no matter how hard you try
because everyone has the right to bleed

Bleed because you can
just as everyone can
nothing makes it special
it's just yours unlike everything else
just remember
that everyone has the right to bleed

Bleed because of sorrow and happiness
because those laughs
that you pull yourself off the ground with
because those tears
that you bury your love one to
because everyone has the right to bleed

All but the compared
Zavid Feb 2015
A picture is worth
but a thousand words
just as a footstep
is only as far
as the mind allows
them to be
because a mile
in someone’s shoes is the
words of someone’s picture

A kiss is the love
that is said
without saying anything
just as a clock
counts down to
the death that
always comes
because a kiss can be
a loved ones’ death

A headache is painless
to those who live it
every day just as
a bird’s song is long
to those who never
hear its sweet sound
because what headache
could ever resist
a sweet bird’s song

The path
Zavid Jan 2015
No one knows where they're going
or how they're getting there at all
because all they know
is the path they've taken so far
and how oh so wonderful
it has been

Smile hard and wide
because you never know
which will be your last
and that is the most
fearful thing
in the world

Pass on the joy
before it ever turns to sorrow
because a laugh is much better to see
than that
loved ones tears

My love

The sun rising
is one of the most
beautiful sights that
may ever exist but
somehow your eyes
beat it with their beauty
and swirls of color

The cool waters
of a running river
is the most peaceful
sounds ever and yet
here I am listening
to your voice and
disagreeing with it

If a nap makes
you live longer
than a nap with you
must make me live
for eternity because
that's what it must be
like with you

What happened
to the bright-filled future
with college and boys
that could let me be
stupid and wreak less
but I guess I
already am

That's my dad
telling them I'm his
as tears stream down
his lone face into my
mom's hair which is pressed
into his chest while

That's my body

sad wet ground
that people surround
saying their last goodbyes

Gunshots and poems
is what I dream
as the press into
hearts and pages
of sad lonely
notebooks and people
that just need a
word or a wound
to feel complete
one last time

I dream of
church bells and screams
that drown each other out
as their finest moments
in wailing agony and
peaceful chimes to
let us know that
everything could
change in the
blinking of an eye

Thunderclaps and steak knifes
fill the nightmares
that I dream
creating death-filled settings
full of evil laughs and
clowns to haunt
everything we could
ever want to
ever be

I dream of
the future full
of me and you
with smiles and
giggles of tickle
fights and cheek
kisses galore and
sparkles in two peoples'
eyes of nothing but
pure happiness

The end
Zavid Dec 2014
The end of a sentence
is a period.
The end of a life
is a death.
The end of a road
is a dead end.
The end of a book
is a last page.
The end of the light
is the dark.
The end of a fire
is water.
The end of time
is nothing.
The end of the truth
is a lie.
The end of a person
is a gunshot.
The end of me
is you.
The end of lunch
is an empty bowl.
The end of a poem
is a message.
The end of a hello
is a goodbye.
The end of this poem
is this.

He was different
yet he was the same
as everyone else
in every way with
the looks and the
hair to the way
he thought and
struggled

She was the same
yet she was different
she tried not to fit
in with anyone she
pushed everyone away
she laughed at peoples
attempts to talk to
her

He got to her
he did talk to her
getting away with
saying things that
she’d **** others
for saying and doing
things no one else
could imagine doing
for her

She let him
she didn’t want
him to leave her
he made her smile
and laugh and stop
thinking about all the
bad things that could
ever trouble her and

Where is there to be
other than with you
if I’m breathing it is
where I want to be
because nowhere else

love than there
which is where I belong

How could I look away
if the main attraction
is right in front of me
when the only thing
worth looking at
is not to the side
of me but in front
which is where I belong

What is there to do
other than spend time
with you and smile
while doing so because
there is nothing better
to do than what I’m doing
now with you

Zavid Nov 2014
To feel the danger in a twisted
steep mountain road
to see the world above a city
I want to climb the hill
that life has to offer
I want to take life on
at its steepest
like a mountain
I wish to live
in the mountains to life
at a heightened experience

Life is twisted and steep
like a mountain pass
I want to climb that pass
I want to test my strength
against the mountains’
I want to show that
I will not quit at the sight|
of problems twisting
left and right, because
I know that up
is where I’m going
each step would take an hour
but be worth the knowledge

The world we live in
is scaled down, softened
so we don’t get hurt
I want to live
dangerously on that mountain
to show I don’t need protection
I want to be hurt
and scared I want
to be mortally wounded
so I can stand up
as if it were nothing
more than a scratch
to what I could be

I want to reach the top
and smile at the hour long
steps I took to get there
to be able to overlook
everything that I have
just overcome to sit down
and finally be able
to take a break
from what has been
my life to look at the
sharp turns and the
boulders I have just climbed

I wish to live
in the mountains to live life
at a heightened experience
to know what life feels like
at its fullest
to overcome all the challenges
and to be able
to look down and smile

it’s a person I don’t want to be

unspeakable words that
burn with such a passion
in your throat waiting to
burst letting them know
what it is that has you
in the ever silent gaze
into their pale gray eyes
that glow with undying
trust and affection
for what you believe to be
unrealistic but they find
to be the most deep
and understanding feeing
that has ever crossed their
mind as an emotion as if
they know exactly what
you are thinking and
dying to say but the words
choke in your throat over
and over again while you
watch them slip into
what will be your ever demise
and your forth coming death

but that is why
they are my words

They cannot take my arms
for they defend me
from who you may ask
and I will always answer
from them and what
evil they do to me
and what I believe in

They cannot live with me
for it is my house
that they wish to live in
under my roof without
providing anything
in return for this great
deed I would've done for them

They charge me for one
and are wrong
but find a second
and try to charge again
they wronged me
and won't get away
with charging me again

They were wrong
the first time
what makes them think
they'll be right
the second time
after all they put me
through and they want me
to go through it all again

sparkles of blue green gold
and red flow around
in four inch death machines
as they twirl in small circles
of beating rhymes and
musical conspiracies

tight jackets in plain colors
of black white with an
occasional bright color of
shy blue of daring pink
that unbutton going down
into slacks of the high quality

bodies press together in
slowing moving paces
that circle and twirl around
a hardwood floor that
clicks with all the death machines
steps and shiny scuffed
unpolished foot aches

holes of endless happiness

bright happy colors as
pairs of two fly seamlessly

I give them my heart
in hope they will treat it well
with care and compassion
so that it may comfort them in
their time of needs
when all hope is lost
and they need a friends' love

I give them my mind
to help in time of
puzzled minds and lost
thoughts while they are
bending over clutching their heads
with pounding thoughts and
seamless ideas

I give them my body
for protection and for that comfort safe presence
for manual labor
to exploit for their needs
and their needs only
so they may accomplish what
it is they desire to have accomplished

I give them my emotion
to take my feelings
as if to replace their own
and fill themselves with happiness
instead of sorrow or grief
to fulfill their expectations of
what it is like to live

I give them my soul
the last part of me
that is worth anything to
anyone or anything
to show them what it is like to
be more than one
I am not me
for I live

Valles of blue and green flowers
spread out before you with arrays
of paths and trails going

sun glowing high in the sky
birds chirp high in tress that go on
disappearing into clouds that fade
away into nothing
Dreams

Smoky mist surround
graves of the dead
as howls terrorize ears
in deafening screeches
like nails across a chalkboard
bone piles found about
laying in dismay and sorrow
moss hangs from once
living tree branches that now
resemble boney fingers

A smile across her face
with a loose strand of hair
dangling in her eyes
and arm around her and a
body pressed against her in an
affectionate manner with care
and grace with no thought of hurting her

Love is a simple minded
selfish word
It is an emotion
that is rarely found
It is a way to express yourself
to the deepest meaning
It shouldn't be thrown around
to random things or people
It should be for that special one

Love is the way we
secure our trust
It can be deceiving
It can be the best feeling
in the world
It is unique
Love is a simple minded

For then you are a slave to yourself
A slave to what you think is ideal

It is that other who does
Who sees you and not who you should be
Nor what you can be
They see you for you

Once Broken, Twice Fixed
Zavid Aug 2014
Fixed is a normal that everyone wishes,
broken is the different that everyone wants.
Fixed is the laughing and playing in a sun,
broken is the crying and shooting of a gun.
Fixed is a gift under a tree,
broken is a frightening plea.
Fixed is the love of a mother,
broken is the lost child.
The fixed want to be broken,
the broken long to be fixed.
The fixed want to feel pain,
the broken don't want to feel anymore.

Eyes
Zavid Jun 2014
Bright summer green haloed the pupils of her eyes
as wisp of yellow flames found their way
into the crease and creases that the green bypassed.
Her eyes pressed sooth and silkily
into her smooth soft skin.
Her lips parted slightly
but remained closed
showing no teeth as she smiled.
A smile that could warm and calm anyone
but you knew it was meant for you.
