Every time you sigh,
a little of you goes by
And every time you cry,
you always think it's time.

Flower in the wind,
where are you going?
You may have sinned
and stopped growing.

Why are you so afraid?
Always shivering and bickering
You always have a maid
Why aren't you listening?

Words don't mean a thing
Or do they?
You're just a fling
Hurts, nay?

Staring at the daystar,
why is it so afar?
Does it hate the way we live
Or is it because in the wrong we believe?

Notorious it may seem,
fixing at the seams
Why is it notorious?
You're just oblivious.

Thus, would I hate
Doesn't have an excuse.
It may be too late,
You lose

How much it annoys!
Where is that voice?!
Boys will be boys
But the girls, who knows?

A poem made by my friend, Jerrika. (It's her first poem!)
23W
Two hearts within a man
As he found out, he ran.
Went away, hid in shame
Now he knows it's all a game.

I ask and you say nothing
You only tell me when it's late.
And the same thing kept repeating
Until I stopped and said no more.

You'd pass by me like time
And easily see right through me
Guess that's what I deserve,
To be treated as nonexistent.

Was I the first to avoid? To ignore?
I was always there for you.
I was your blue curtain
Now I'm just your dusty shelf.

I changed because you told me to
Followed the tracks to who you are
Now that you see what I've become,
You left me longing and wondering.

Here I am now, silently watching
As you enjoy; grinning and laughing
While I'm hidden in a faded corner,
covered in dust, insane and crying.

Splashes of ink
Scatter amidst the land
Harrowing it may seem,
All in a tremendous disarray.

Thou cannot strain
As substantial as the others,
But thy will strive
For thine destiny.

Thy purity had been lost
Innocence, stolen
Engrossed in war,
Several, forgotten

Innumerable lives had been adrift
In an inexorable execution.
How could this be?
Humanity has not yet been conceived.

Could not they concede,
Their ways were transgress
Thou say to thee,
You are solely mere grime.

Hope is still existing
Freedom will be the next
For thine liberty,
Captivity won't ever transpire.

I thank thee for the fortitude
All who ventured in lethal combat
As thou reminisce the occurrences
In what ye entitle now as "history."
A trial poem. I know there are some errors, but at least I tried.

You told me "I love you"
You said that you care
But now we are strangers
Because love isn't fair...

What happened to your commitment?
What happened to everything you said?
Why is our life now so different
Than the one we had once led?

Was it my mistake for leaving?
Was it your mistake for letting me go?
My life has lost all meaning
And I just wanted you to know...

I told you "I love you"
I told you I care
Our love now is broken
Because love isn't fair...
The hours are fading
And withering in
Upon her blossoming cheeks
Yet ruthless skin.

To my dear old friend,
My first words said.
Oh how far we've come
Won't you share me some?
Some stories of your life,
But not that with a knife.
I'll share mine too
If you give me a clue-
How did we reach
A feisty breach?
Oh, remember that road
With a croaking toad?
That's where it all started
When white clouds darted
Our ignorant eyes for us to see
Now mind's filled with glee.
Seeing familiar faces
From all sorts of places.
Finally rung the bell
There it ended as well.
