WickedHope

I wrote a political piece,
I wrote an ****** epic,
I wrote a satire on society,
I wrote a rhyming rhapsody...
But I decided to delete them
With my fifty page science fiction novella...
Oh... What have I done?

I wrote this despicable blurb to express my despair.

I get angry and stupid...

Reduce, Reuse,..... Recycle

Dec 2014 GracefulWords

Reduce, Reuse,..... Recycle

Writer's block is like a white stone wall.
Every failed poem in the trashcan is like a brick.
Soon, I'll have enough to rebuild the great wall of China,
and the garbage man will know
many trees have died for my poetry.
Take heed, only you can prevent forest fires.

So, why not have fun with writers block if it breaks writers block.

Realism

Realism

If ‘realism’ was real
Speech marks would be full of ‘likes’ and ‘*****’
And empty of punctuation.
Sentences would extinguish themselves
And flaw themselves
And slip
Mid-way.
The characters wouldn’t take it in turns
They’d be yelling across the pages
On top and entangled in each other
Like lovers.

Release

Release

The beast inside,
Eating me alive.
Searching,
Burning,
Consuming my soul.
Begging for release
But, like a declawed cat
Unable to get free.
It planted a seed in the pits of my mind.
A request for help: for freedom.
But as the blood ran down my arms
And I put down the blade,
It decided the taste of my life was worth staying inside.

Face Value

Face Value

A normal teenage girl
Thats all you will see
Until you take a deeper look into what is me

When you take the time
You will see I am not all what you may have believed
I am deeper than you ever anticipated me to be

So young and naive
Yet I am anything but
I have had my fair share of heartbreak and bad luck

My bad days started long long ago
In a time when I had nowhere to go

I did what I could
Yet I was hopeless and scared
Thought I was damaged beyond any repair

Then 3 years ago
I met my best friend
That little did I know was there till the very end

She protected me
And helped me to heal
Heal everything inside and everything out

I felt better then
Knowing she was there
Knowing I had someone who cared

She saved my life in more ways than one
I owe everything to her
Everything for sure

As you can see
I am far more than you thought me to be

All we care to ever see
Is what is put before our eyes

What we fail to observe
Is what is behind the mask
The mask we all wear to throw people a curve

See if they truly care
Or if they just don't mind
Taking us for just what they see

Taking us for face value

I know this is a long one guys, but sometimes the longest ones are the most beautiful. This one is my most heartfelt one yet.

wistful

you took my hand
and my heart in yours

your lips danced across mine
and your thumbs grazed my cheeks

you led me into your life
and made me whole

i know it was just a dream
but i can still feel your fingertips on my skin

adding to regret

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
You're too fat
You're too tall
You're not the fairest of them all
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
You're a geek
You're too dark
You're not the fairest of them all
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Why can't I be pretty like them all?
You're worthless
Not good enough
You can't be pretty like them all
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Why can't I be clean like them all?
You're a cutter
A stupid b*tch
You can't be clean like them all
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Is there a reason to stay at all?
You're family hates you
You have no friends
There is no reason to stay at all
Mirror Mirror on the wall
I'm a gonner watch me fall
You deserve it
You're life is gone
You're a gonner hope you fall
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Have you seen my girl at all?
I watched her crumble
I watched her fall
Your girl is gone
All because of the mirror on the wall

I
will
        think
                  better?
                               Maybe?
I

              rather
                          to
