Good-Bad
grim-raven May 2015
A lover can be either just good or bad
Nothing in between
Don't blame someone because they're not the person you want them to be or they did something unforgivable
Understand that bad news comes first before the good ones

I Love You
grim-raven May 2015
There's a reason why there's present, future, and past
Tenses of verbs proves that nothing can last
It doesn't meant that when he said "I love you" but he left it's fake
It's possible that he really did but it eventually changed

"I love you"
"I loved you"
"I'll love you"

It's never the same

Ways of Living
grim-raven May 2015
Each life contains mazes which can never be finished twice
Don't try to steal other's when you have your own skies
And if you can't fly at the sky
Remember, not all birds can fly
Different ways are being offered in each of our life
Always pick the road where you can feel comfy and high
We have our own tracks that deserve footprints on their own
In every corner, there'll be turns so it's fine to slow down the road

**All other mazes are already being explored
Who will travel in your maze if you won't?

Fairy Lies
grim-raven May 2015
Fairytales builds the hope seen on children's eyes
Those stories control their minds, filling it with lies
If I learned one thing from my childhood
It is to stop believing, it doesn't cause any good

Free Fall
grim-raven May 2015
In order to have a good flight...
You first need to know falling
So if you're flying freely at the sky...
Failing won't cause fear, darling

Inevitable
grim-raven May 2015
We always wonder about the inevitability of the universe
We always think of it's extensions or infinity
Different theories rising but nothing prove anything yet, nonetheless
What if all of these are just illusion, how great is the feasibility?

Aftermath
grim-raven May 2015
We tend to make promises even though it doesn't fit
We don't care on what it can do to the situation we're in
It can hurt, break someone, or double up the heat

But NO

*We don't care if those promises can even be real

Fail
grim-raven May 2015
I hate how I care so much about the future

Every exam that I took made me afraid of failure

I just want something satisfying to happen to me

Knowing the feeling of satisfaction of what I am gonna be

Believe-Trust

Life Is Strange
grim-raven Apr 2015
Life is just a game*
You are only known by other's through your character's name

The way it will go
Will depend on how much you'll know

So maybe we should all try to understand the lessons
Use it for good and uncover life's real reasons

Promises
grim-raven Apr 2015
I'm afraid of promises
Words like "never" or "forever" just ends with mess
I think words like that shouldn't be used
Especially if the promise will eventually loose

Just A Girl In The Crowd
grim-raven Apr 2015
In not so long distance
I saw her standing there
In front of the classroom
Looking like a shy little girl

First period past
She doesn't talk to anyone
Everybody laughs
Thinking a loser invaded the town

My friends thought she's a dork
I tried to shut my mouth
Going with the flow is how society works
Everybody just wants to fit in the crowd

Ink of Truth
grim-raven Apr 2015
They did it again
"FAT" on my forehead is written

I immediately went home
Tried to tell my mom about how much I'm alone
Mom said "It's fine, just get over with it"
Those words added pain, in less than one minute
I went upstairs and cried till sleep
Knowing the fact that tomorrow it'll all repeat

Highschool for ****'s sake is just a joke
Students tormenting one another is a bad hoax
The ink they put on my body is an example
An example of how our society is not on a good roll
The truth is the marker might symbolize a tough one
But the good imminent things might not be gone

No One Knows
grim-raven Apr 2015
I don't know
No one knows

RELIGION

A greatly diverse word
The complexity from each Gods can't be explained

Christianity or Islamic?
Hinduism or Buddhism?
Confucianism or Taoism?

I don't know
No one knows
Which of these is the one?
Which God is the Man?

Each have their own beliefs
Each came from different myths
How the hell would humanity know?
How would a religion shatter every other's ego?

Just what if?
What if Christianity tells the truth?
Would it mean that homosexuality is just a bluff?
Is it just a wrong "choice" and can be cured by having faith in God is enough?

BUT what if?
What if Atheism tells the truth?
What if atheists just have so much strength?
Strength in facing the truth that after we die it will all end?

Until now, evidences are still vague
Even the most religious one had thought this inside their head
What if the world we have now is just an illusion?
No one knows for sure how to cure this confusion

RELIGION

She
grim-raven Apr 2015
She
She's sorry
She isn't ready

She's still learning to eat her own food
She's still trying to decide for her own good
She's still straightening up her hind legs
She's still arranging the thoughts inside her head

She just want her own life to be planned
She's just assuring that you are the right one

If You Want To
grim-raven Apr 2015
If you want to gain fame
Use your talent, show no shame

If you want to express your feelings
An artist, we know, is very revealing

If you want to help the one's in need
Don't be selfish, share your seeds

If you want to see the future
Science will consume you, I can assure

If you want to travel to different places
Start taking little steps so you can have progress

If you want to see your real purpose and achieve success
Don't be afraid to lose, just give your best

Fire
grim-raven Apr 2015
I saw fire
It is burning my eyes
It says hi
It looks really nice
We chat for a while
Telling tales
We trade smiles
Til' night stopped sun rays
He got up
Saying goodbye
It thought that I didn't see
The secret is he's not really
The chills hide under its tail
The coldness is everyday

I noticed and laugh
Fire is ironically tough

I Wish
grim-raven Mar 2015
I wish I'm contented
Doesn't want to move from where I'm seated
Appreciating the beauty of mother nature
Saying thank you for what is brought by our culture

I wish I'm contented
Spring, summer, autumn, winter
Observing how the four seasons passed
Not questioning the fact that they won't last

I wish I'm contented
The stars and constellations they made
I wish I can just stare at them at this moment
Appreciating the gift given by the present

I wish I'm contented
But contentment and I aren't meant


I wish I can go to school and earn a degree
I'll find my way to obtain the profession I want to be
One day I'm planning to build a charity
For people who needs help and see how wonderful life can be

I wish I'll be an inspiration
For the little one's who can't find any hope
I wish I'll help them find what they seek
Create their own paths and know they're not weak

I wish to go to different places
Traveling the world at its finest
Together with my friends and family
I'll discover the world's meaning through reality

Senses
grim-raven Mar 2015
I can feel the wind
I can see the leaves
I can hear the whispers*

The emotions it brings
The truths I am seeing
The lies I am hearing

No other can feel
Neither can it see nor hear
The focus is me
It is what I see
Lies passes by like a wind brought by a storm

Why?
grim-raven Mar 2015
The feelings
are tempting
My sadness
is addicting

I can't really understand
why?
But I thank God when I
cry

My depression
It kills
My happiness
It hurts*

At first..
The pain will feel like a cage
But at the end of the day
It is what I embrace
Why do I feel like I want to stop the pain but at the same time I think it is what completes me?

Defunct Star
grim-raven Mar 2015
I've been wondering
Why do stars make people hoping?

What I mean is..
Even a little tiny star feels like a perfect bliss

Do they know the fact that they should know the most?
The stars they're seeing is actually a ghost?

A ghost of a past that can't come back
So the hope they're wishing isn't really with luck

Try It
grim-raven Mar 2015
Life is a short exemplary ride
Goes on and on until you lose sight

Like a train with railroad signs
Warning but offers a tempting fun

Will hurt like a *****
But, at the end, you'll surely miss

You'll never be sure of what it brings
But why not try and fly with wings?
Try it now, you won't regret a thing
You know yourself, you want to know the feeling

*So just tuck your belt
And let the wheels be set
What is it's use if you won't try it, right?
Just try it.

Choices
grim-raven Mar 2015
I am a choice
We all are actually..
Even the tiniest specie

But I've always wondered though
Why are there second, third, or so?
We will feel much better if it's not like that
Every one of us would appreciate that a lot

I am a last choice living proof...

Not even second,
Always the last
In the meantime
I just hope everything would pass

Changes With A Barrier
grim-raven Mar 2015
Been thinking ..
Would I really express this feeling?

Well...
We've already started
So better just let it go and be written..

Before this had happen
I didn't know the little hole will grow and I'll be weaken
I've known you as a sweet little admirer
A boy that I thought will make my life better

With you
I'd experience almost all the "first time"
It's great before because I  thought our feelings really rhyme

But the world seems like they see it in the other direction
People judging, thinking what we're doing was a wrong notion
I don't care at first of course
But..
When my father told me what I'm feeling is wrong
I've rethink and had second thoughts if this should be stopped
If our love will stay forever or it will eventually rot
But you'd confirmed we're not doing something wrong
Cause you confronted and told him your love for me is strong

And you know?
Because of that my heart leapt with joy
Your love felt like it really replaced the void
In my heart which would really explode
If you ever lived me alone in the cold

Days, months, years passed by..
We've been together for a very long time
A perfect relationship, they'll say
And I won't deny, I'd also have thought it in that way

But seems there is something wrong
I've noticed the changes
When I seek your help and start to cry
You'll just look at me with a sigh
A sigh that started the spaces you've built
To ruin the things we've created with it

It is not accidentally built though
The barrier?
I've heard that you really do need space
From my dramas and doesn't need to see me a few days

That is the time..
The time I knew it would all stop
The time I knew you're already tired
The time I discovered you've found the girl who is really right

I've loved you.
Yes I do
Until now I can't deny
The feelings I have between you and I

You know the secrets..
The things I've shared with you even before we met
I'm not afraid though you'll spread and tell it to others
Because I know..
Even if you've stopped caring..
You can still be my sweet little friend

Now that I've had released it
Thank you dear friend for being there
And I want to tell you I'm not mad
At you or her, I'm not holding any grudge

As life goes..
It is normal that people change
It is normal that the feelings will fade
What isn't good is if you've not done anything
To change the things you know that doesn't have a meaning
Change is normal
Pain will hurt
But the important thing is..
Our path would be better

F'ckin Bet
grim-raven Mar 2015
Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
You said you like me cause I look like a goddess
Being with me is when you'll stop being reckless

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
You said you love me and you're now ready
And that's when I trusted you wholeheartedly

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
I called and said I need you
But you said there's something you need to do

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
A friend told me something
A secret not intended for me knowing

Remember*

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How I discovered all the lies...?

You and she in one same bed
Then I asked you why it happened
How you told the lie that you and I are meant

You apologized and started to confess
You heartless-*******-*******
You just used me for a bet

With A Restrained Friend
grim-raven Mar 2015
Thank you

Little boy with a bit of hope
Just a bit ...
Everybody knows

Dreams filled his teeny tiny mind
Creating imaginations of different kind
Doesn't really understand what other says
Enjoying life with a blurry mess

Been a friend to a *weak fragile girl

Her tears were catch for it seems to hurl
Fakes in those times were epidemic
Lucky for her, he doesn't know how to mimic

They'd grown and grown as time passed by
Created memories they'll remember for life
Not only memories but also dreams
Dreams where both of them can be seen

But the boy seemed to loose it
A news from a far seems to hurt him
A pain that normals can't contain
But he knows how to keep it restrained

Not even a hint ...
The girl knows nothing

Until one day

Struggles hit the girl
Weak and fragile
but, learning from him,
Tried to be strong and also restrained

The day ended
And, as usual
The girl and the boy, they both parted ways
Saying goodbye but they know they'll meet again **someday
Friends are there in the fun part of life
Real friends will appear when the pain struck you inside
When I was a kid I hoped to have many friends
Now, I just wanna keep my real one and only friend

You'd be fair and true

Cause you appreciate and cherished
Everything I do

I'll still hold onto you
Cause you proved
Forever can be really true

Again and again

Open flesh
Guilted mess

Tears stopping
Head rising
Masking savior
I'm a survivor

Unity in A Category
grim-raven Feb 2015
Things usually have their own categories
From the least to greatest
From the first to last

Categories is where someone do belong
Somewhere people have the chance to start in dawn
In the things they've been longing to discover
Tried to think of over and over

Everyone has their own
No one's left alone
He gave us this gift
Cause he knows each of us is unique

Ironic isn't it?
Everyone belong in a society
Though everyone's obviously an anomaly

Two things is naturally mixed
Cause it's easier to feel like you belong
In a world full of peculiars you can get along

Bittersweet
grim-raven Feb 2015
Heard a new one
Another ***** you found
But you said she's already perfect
Times you spent are totally worth it

You said you don't regret a thing
Only the times when we're still one being
No problems and awful fights
Your relationship with her is your source of life

But tell me why
Every time you sleep you always dream of you and I
And in the middle of the night in your waking
My name's the one you utter and look at her, hurting

You might make the whole world believe
You might be able to make her feel relieved
You might kept your secrets from being revealed
You might be able to create the lies be weaved

But

No matter how much you try to pretend
No matter how much you think you and her are meant
I can see it in your eyes
You're feelings for her are just in disguise
Be careful in pretending. It has the possibility to lead in pain and when the time comes you can't control it anymore, the real one won't be there for you.

Regret or Revenge
grim-raven Feb 2015
It's been a while since i saw that beautiful smile
Seems so long that i can't even distinguish the truth from the lie
It's been ages since i heard that painful sigh
Seems so sad that you feel disgusted by my sight

I've done things i can't explain from the past
Cause dear, i thought it would be easier and the feelings won't last
I'd left you without explaining the truth
The real reason i should have told you while I could

Fate acted like it's the one who'd save the destroyed affair
Making you look like a fool and me, a relationship deceiver
And now, I can't make you listen
Because you want a revenge for us to be even

I know i deserved worse than your cold treatment
I just wish that for once i can make you listen
I've missed your smile and now i can't see that
But dear, I just wish that it would be real and we'll be fine

This is nobody's fault but mine
I've been so coward and weak from time to time
I'd tell you lies for you to hate me more
Now i am apologizing for what i didn't stand up for
We always see the point of view of the one's who are betrayed and called them the "victim". It is true of course but we all know that in a relationship there are 2 persons. Both can love and will feel same pain.

The Room
grim-raven Feb 2015
Jack look up to his mother
The one who is trying to have a peek through a corner
Inner thoughts went inside his head and started asking
What the hell is she doing?

Mother went down
Asking Jack to sleep now
But Jack still wants to play
So he asked for an extension today

Mother said that it is not okay
Old Nick will be back any time of this day
The door beep
Jack needed to sleep

Jack went inside the closet
Counting the numbers of teeth he has left
As Old Nick went inside the room
Mother's very quiet while Old Nick created a "Boom!"

Jack can hear mother's cry
As Old Nick's punches fly
Jack can't do a single thing
He is just 5, what a poor thing

There it goes again creaking
The bed started bouncing
Jack can't see through the dark room
Jack doesn't know his mother's doom
This poem is inspired by the book "The Room" by Emma Donoghue.

A Father's Letter
grim-raven Feb 2015
If i could get my time back
In this world of wonder, I would
But if God wants me to be one of his flock
In the promise paradise, I should

I've been your companion
Since you're a little minion
Taught you the basics
and eventually, how to live life full of sh*ts

Together with your mother
We traveled the world full of wonder
Little by little, you've grown to ponder
Creating memories we'll cherish forever

But as the world seems so perfect
Problems in our life started to inject
I'd known though that this day will happen
So before this day's sad finale
I want to assure that you'd understand true life's lessons

If you've ever felt alone in this world
Just remember the person who'll be there for you instead
The special someone would always be there
Every time, everywhere

I know it's hard to say goodbye
In times we exactly don't know why
But, Child
You know how much i want you to take care
Cause the world can be fascinating
But i'll can hit you until you start grieving

In your life i served as your father
The one who loved you and your sweetest mother
But we all have the time when we needed to go
Leaving each and everyone we'd know
But don't worry dear cause we'll see each other again
In the paradise of the Almighty God, we just don't know when
People are aware that there could be a time when someone needs to leave even in the time of delight. Saying "goodbye" one last time. But the word doesn't seem right. It should be "see you soon",  you know why?  Cause God won't let the love of the family, friends, or special someone be separated by death, especially in heaven.

Perfect Failure
grim-raven Feb 2015
Oh God, Oh God
I had wished a perfect life

As seeds grow into sprouts
Which dreams were possible
Sprouts into seedlings
When life is started to be filled with doubts

Seedlings into trees
Which when failure starts to crossed our minds
Most expectations tends to be lowered
With the reality which hopes and dreams can't empower

It is then we start to think of another option
For the dreams, we thought when we were seeds
Is cleared and decided to just be wrong notions

BUT, the replacement doesn't mean worse
IT doesn't mean real life is cursed
Imperfect openings can lead to the best endings
Especially if you know victory's worth greetings
Dreams are perfect. It is the path that leads us to the thought that they're impossible to reach. It is in our decisions if we'll let the path to bring us to the wrong direction or we'll draw our own path for our own success. One thing is for sure, dream is definitely the key for future.

High
grim-raven Feb 2015
Started as a sun
Lighting rays that acts upon
But like a day with 6:00 ending
World will turn away without changing

Urging inside the core
Can't be stop like a bore
The flowing pain will feel like forever
Same with the blood that seems to be clever

Escaping the reality
Hallucinations that will linger within
The mind full of random thoughts
Toxicated with drug-like hoax
Human mind can be sometimes tricky. The fantasies will seem like a reality if we let it be.

The Truth about Death
grim-raven Feb 2015
Age of death finally came
Claiming the one thing he can lend
In a land thought to be unknown
Little flower asking to be grown

"Enough is enough" he said
Second chances can't be begged
A song writtten to it's head
Waiting to be wrote but will die instead

Crying and shouting
A bee can be found lost by wings
Mesmerizing the thought
Same land as the flower, he was caught

"I heard the message my dearest soul"
Death said, being an ironic ghoul
The wings that led him to fly
Caused the pain that made him asked why?

He who had tried
To have the maiden's love
She who have been blind
Pain strucked, faster than one's sight

One deserved more
One should be punished
One who's willing to sacrifice
One who's blinded by pride

Both will own
Same world but in different kinds they are known
Related but not the same
Both aim something but only one should be blame

The day that death set
Destiny is what they get
Flower as the maiden who at first smelled like a rose
Who came out eventually with a heart of a stone
While the bee who can possibly have a strangled mind
But the truth is his heart's the one pure and kind
This poem is about betrayal and love. How people can be blinded by something that has lesser value than the one they have. How come they choose something worse when they could have something better.

Trio of Art
grim-raven Feb 2015
Art
Simple art
Abstract art
Personal art

Expressed in different ways
Some write songs
For the feelings that sing along
Some dances with the beat
And tries to pull the crowds with it

Music it is
Music's your only friend when you feel alone in a crowd
In a party, in won't be fun without
But sometimes the person whom we think we can trust
Can be a traitor and start acting so unjust

Music can be two-faced
Hurt you in the time of sicked-age
Pain will blow up inside you
It won't stop until you decided to think it through

Drawing, painting, building
A bird, a sea, a tree
Anything that kicks from the inside
Would want to be expressed in an artist's mind
You've no choice but to let it go
Cause sometimes, it is the only choice you know

Writing is the simplest and the thorough
It completes all the art show
Can't be understand by the narrow-minded
Can be the escape of the one who's interested

Takes time but worth it
Especially if the message conveyed is at its peak
This poem is my explanation of different kinds of expressing art. Every person has one in their character. It might seem hard to discover but trust me... everybody has.

Hope
grim-raven Feb 2015
What a rare kind of night this is
Searching for something that's not going to exist
Sensitivity varying from time to time
Feeling peaceful but pain in my mind

Tired of tomorrow, tired of life
Promises of better future looks like a blur in my sight
Might be true, Probably not
Proved to be good but cannot be enough

Life is fair for a beast but not for a prey
It can be fun for humans but not just this day
The feeling goes on like forever
It hurts and tries to stop the survivor

3 years straight, i know
I can stop it in just one blow
But i choose not to because of the hope
That one day i can make life feel fair for all

No one would care right now
No one would pay attention to the show
Show
For them it is just a show
For me it is the 1st step in aiming my goal
This poem is a little bit of my life. This shows some of the feelings life had created for me to be felt. For the struggles i faced and the ones i'll be facing.

Mixed
grim-raven Feb 2015
Blame for a blame
Trust for a trust
The opposite is unacceptable
Simple but unacceptable

How funny it is to care?
To believe something that does not exist
The pain will remain
It'll grow until a scar is etched

Thought it is the right
Cause the feeling felt bright
I swear that it'll stop
**** me if it does not
Maybe the meaning of this poem is hard to predict but what you thought the meaning is is probably right because as we all know every message of a painting is same as a message of a poem, it can be mixed.

Uncover the Forbidden
grim-raven Feb 2015
Frightened
from the start till the end
Both felt same love, forbidden but still love
Love
the best feeling i have

Bearing it, Feeling it
Trying to be the same
Perfect for each other
but secrets should remain

Night and day
It feels like forever
Invisible but precious
Unchangeable and unexposed

If the world gave us a chance
Our world won't be apart
Barrier will fade
Uncovered inside our heart

— The End —
