Chains

Right now I'm here
Trap inside my room
Staring outside the window

It's funny how fast things can change
How love can eventually turn to rage

Behind A Mask
grim-raven Feb 2015
It's starting
It's killing
Again and again
It's hurting

Circling inside
Mixing alive
Can't settle
No one can meddle

It's numbing
Blood dripping
Open flesh
Guilted mess

Tears stopping
Head rising
Masking savior
I'm a survivor
grim-raven Nov 2015
Don't be too amazed when you read a good poem, saw a great painting, or heard an awesome song
Observe the emotion portrayed by it
Then think about the person behind it
He created that masterpiece
How? Is it just because he's really talented?

Maybe.
Maybe it's luck.
Or
Maybe he's experiencing that emotion

Everybody does something to express
Just imagine the joy, pain, or numbness behind it
Yes, they can create these phenomenal works
But please don't utter the words "He just wasted his talent" when he finally had enough and swallowed the pills he had been staring at for so long

She

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

i was also once told
about the tale of night and sea

the sea so blue and captivating
calm, peaceful, and very charming
the night was drawn to his unique beauty
stealing glimpses became her duty

day will come and then will end
then darkness of night will then blend
sky filled with stars, a full moon
the night emerges and starts at noon

holding on for hours and hours
sharing peaceful warmth and tides
sea met night time and it felt right
embracing each other with all their might

but time is cruel and they both knew
the day will come, it will do
night cries tears of dull dead stars
leaving the waving sea with scars

Here is; Hear us
grim-raven Jul 2016
Here is what I know,

I have known you from the start
Flashing brown eyes built a spark
Lighting what I thought was dark
I knew those stares left a mark


Here is what I see,

I have seen our own words link
Sharing stories as we drink
These stories made me think
Did you see how fast we sync?


Here is what I feel,

*I have felt your hands so fine
As we walk along this line
When they unconsciously intertwined
I was struck and you were mine
and i am yours

Senses

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

before she took her last breath
they promised heaven for all eternity
but hell is much realer
home for horror, suspense, and thriller

before the "almighty" father of all
she tried to kneel to the creator with naked soul

omnipresent even in hell
the kingdom of his enemy
omnipotent; powerful; supreme from all
thus give the sinners everlasting penalty
omniscient forever and ever and ever
yet cannot show a piece of clemency

then he turned to a demon
tired of all the lies

Last Picked Petal
grim-raven Jan 2016
You were the book in the past which I swore to write a sequel with
A wedding, a house, a kid, a garden filled with roses and tulips
But then I realized I deserve a new page to write my own story
I close the book and re-read it once again

"Just one more," I said with my heart
The last part of me who don't want to let go
But I know I need to walk forward
With one final petal, with one final blow

If You Want To

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

You
I* wanted
I wanted that instant
When I closed my eyes and you whispered
You would always protect and guide me in a distant
But I
I didn't expect
I didn't expect this
I thought the promises were really true
I thought that one day you will ******* a kiss
That the rose and the little prince would be me and you
And I
I still remember
I remember how it was
When in my heart you're still on the list
That having you had been one of my top priorities
But I discovered then that believing in your words is just
Same as hoping for the reality of something that does not exist

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

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

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.

No Goodbye
grim-raven Jul 2015
"Best friends forever?"
He says forever
With that I conclude-
Bad times won't matter

Walking on sidewalk
Eating icecreams
We talk and talk

I don't have a sibling
He became one
I don't have a friend
I don't care-
I don't need some

With him, nothing else matter
He became my savior
I'd cherish him forever

But in times of contentment
The perfect bliss fades
I don't know what happened

"I'm leaving"
Ok, fine
No worries
No goodbye

i'll remind you over and over how important to live this life

as long as i am living

you will know comfort
in times of grief
you will know joy
in every growing leaf
you will know friendship
when it's time for you to see
you will know life

Change of Season

Even the star that shines the brightest

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

everything in life is changing
so how could we find
a stable answer
to a changing thing

there's so many layers of uncertainty
but what we can do
for sure
is live the best lives
we can
within our means
and be fearless
and loving
because we will be back
someday
after all the chaos and darkness
we will be back

Liar Liar
grim-raven Nov 2015
Man,

I started having him and you
To both I'm loyal and really true
We all did promise to always stay
And I didn't thought you would betray

But then you grinned and ran away
And then I'm stunned, you never say
You did not treasure him enough
That you hit him hard like you're really tough

Just never ever come back now
You *******-lying-cow
You'll never hold him then compel
Or else I'll drag you into the pits of hell
NEVER trust someone.

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.

Enthralled my iris with no hue
Eyes of life and perfect dew
While mine's are dead, blackened too

I'll try to keep my eyes from you
And please tell me you'll do too

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 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.

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.

The One Who Taught Us
grim-raven Nov 2015
Bruises and scars can't be covered
But that's fine because we just need a shoe
As we are getting older
Just remember, they are getting older too

We have different stories hidden behind our masks
But they have decided to remove their own
Because they want us to know that we can cast
Each can conjure magic for the lives we've known

They let us explore the beauty of learning
They gave us lessons in Science, Math, and English
They cheered on us while we are competing
They helped us appreciate what we have finished

But the most important thing they taught us?

They taught us how to see
The real meaning of why we live
They lend us the sacred key
We just need to take it and believe

They taught us how to breathe
Every time our lungs are empty
We just need to relax and appreciate
We are surrounded by life's beauty

They taught us how to laugh
But they didn't tell us how to live
Because we will always have the freedom
And they know that's what we need

And sometimes the ones' who taught us
They will leave in an instant
It doesn't matter how fast
Because we will be crashed by a giant

Though we don't want it to happen
Sometimes they will leave too soon
The only thing we can do is to listen
Because life can get out of tune

Though we will hate what we have lost
We will always find something to hope for
Although our hearts is currently enduring a cost
That will be reason to search for the right door
This poem is dedicated for our dearest teacher who died last night.
We will never forget.
We promise.

splashing and i felt the waves crash through me

Which shape do you prefer?*

I choose to be a circle

It's true that I have different sides
So I guess you are now asking why
I always believe in limitation of different kinds
For me a circle being infinite is a lie

Just like how often life can lie
It will let you taste a bit of happiness
But it will slap you hard that you will fly
Because life is that good of an actress
It will break your heart then say goodbye

Hoping the stars aren't covered by clouds
You want to die but there's still a little bit of hope deep down
You look around you
There's no cars but wait...
At the end of the bridge, there's ironically a stop sign
Is it a sign or is it just life ******* with you again?

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

The only thing I wish now is for you to be happy
For me, I'll move on and live life without "we"

Something like you'll try
Something like we'll be
Though you said good bye
