For the people who read this
It's not just a game
we've all got emotions
and we've all gone insane.

Little did I know
that I would spend
the majority of my time
trying to write a poem
as beautiful
as you say I am.
Harley Ginsberg Sep 2014
Everyone is so afraid of pain
but I hope I become more afraid of life each day
I want to fall in love with someone who will never love me back
I want to scream on the top of my lungs and still have no one hear me
I want to be ignored by those I want to listen
I want to fall down and feel like I'll never get back up
I want you to rip holes in my skin and leave me alone to bleed out
I want you to break every bone in my body and leave me with nothing but my ruined soul
people say it's so ****** up to be afraid,
to be hurting
but when you come home alone
and have nothing left but old photos and texts that still make you tear up
all you have is pain
if you're never hurt, you aren't living
and ******* I'd rather be in pain, then feel nothing at all
just a reminder that pain isn't always a bad thing and proves  you're alive

Sitting at this table
Not knowing what to write
The future of this poem,
Way out of my sight.

I struggle with each line
Not knowing what to do
I yearn to succeed,
In pleasing all of you.

I ponder on what will happen,
Will this poem be enjoyed?
I wonder who will read it,
And if they'll be annoyed.

This poem is not deep or sad
It's a poem in present time
Not meant to englighten or teach
Just a friendly rhyme.

Thank you for reading my poem
It was quite fun to create
I hope you found it humorous
Its lines not meant to hate.
Just a fun poem I just thought of.

War
The main trait of man,
driving the modern "free" world,
pride is what we want,
blood and death is what we get,
war is us and we are war.
This a tanka poem.
