Let’s all just take a minute
To shut the hell up
And talk about our feelings
Come on you know you wanna
Let’s talk about them one by one
Let’s talk about them you know it'll be fun

Feel the warmth on your face,
Discover your breathing space.
Lose yourself and escape,
For you are unique in the first place.
Welcome happiness's embrace


Let’s talk about happiness
You might think it’s the best
But it’s just a pest
Because more or less
It just makes me feel stressed

Everything blurs together,
All in your displeasure.
Alone, you're angered in life's adventure.
Take a breath if the balmy zephyr.
One step at a time, tackle your aggressor


Let’s talk about feeling angry
When it’s here everything just seems to annoy me
I just want people to go away because there’s no one I want to see
This feeling doesn’t do things peacefully
This feeling it doesn’t need to be free
So let’s lock it up and throw away the key

Down we go,
Into sadness's plateau.
Tears are welcome to get you through the long tow.
Hide yourself from the status quo.
Someday I know you will tread in life's game show.


Let’s talk about feeling sad
You might not think it’s rad
But sometimes the feeling isn’t half bad
It sure beats feeling mad
But with sadness there isn’t much fun to be had

What's Real
Why is it that some dreams seem so real
and some memories so false
Does anyone else have fake memories?
Just broke up with my imaginary girlfriend
So I'm single now
Who wants to hook up.
No one can replace her

because they won't accept the love that we give them

A Quote From My Friend
Thoughts on taking photos of plants in an urban environment.
“You’ll always see me because I’m everywhere, you can’t get rid of me because I’ll always be there, you can’t stop me from growing because it’s what I do, and you can’t beat me because there’s more of me than there is of you”.

It’s “Nothing Personal” (All Time Low)

Til we “Collide With The Sky” (Pierce The Veil)
In a burst of “Red” (Taylor Swift)
You’ll always be “My Forever” (He Is We)

The Flower
It was one of those times
So caught up in the moment
That I don’t even know
I don’t know where I am
But I know exactly where to go
It was one of those moments
Where everything’s in slow-mo
And then I found what I was looking for

I knocked on the door
I entered the room
I walked to the flower
To watch her bloom
And then she said:

“Oh paint me a picture
But don’t use colours
Just use words
Please paint me the prettiest thing
I’ve ever heard”

I opened my mouth to speak
But my voice wasn’t strong
It was just too weak
What I wanted to say
Was how beautiful she looked
In the light of the day
But instead
I said
“I’ll be back soon”
So I rushed from the room
Right back into the gloom

So I rushed to my house
All I grabbed was a pen and some paper
Before I went away
Off to return to her

When I re-found the room
I entered it
And the flower she looked up
And I could’ve sworn she smiled a bit

Seeing I was back
She asked if I’d found what I’d lacked
I nodded and she said:

“Oh draw me a drawing
But don’t use lines
Just use letters
Oh please draw me something
Anything and I’ll feel better”

I handed her the piece of paper
And she read what it said:

“There’s nothing wrong with you my dear
Don’t let your feet anchor you to the ground
There’s nothing for you to fear
So come with me and we’ll escape this town
We’ll get outta here
If we let ourselves outgrow our bindings then we won’t be held down
There’s no need for tears
So…”

The flower asked me why
What was it meant to say
Then came my reply
“So just take my hand”.

For...
This is for all the broken people in the world...
I love you
Aug 2014 · 348
Why?
Why is it we change our views as soon as we meet certain people.
Why?
***** you
I wish misfortune on your life
I really think I hate you

You like to talk about
How broken you think I am
But you’re not me
So but the hell out
You stupid little girl

Stop thinking I’m so hurt
Stop pretending I still like you
Cause I don’t care about you now
And don’t ask me how
I know
But you’re just a broken little girl
Who wants to hurt everyone else

You know I hate your freaking face
Cause frankly dear, you’re a nutcase
And no I don’t feel sorry for you
Cause there’s just no justifying anything you do
Cause now you’ve pushed me too far
I don’t care who the hell you are

What is your problem
Do you even know
Do you think you’re better than me
Well you shouldn’t think so

Do you honestly think that you’re unbreakable
Well you’re not, it’s just that no one’s tried
You hurt everyone around you
And yet all you feel is pride

You find joy
In thinking I’m not okay
Well I’m fine cause I know you’re not
Cause the people you need, keep going away

So ***** you
I don’t care anymore
Now you know how I feel
I’ve evened the scores
You act all nice
But you’re rotted at the core
Yeah you know its true
Cause you’ve confessed it before

You have problems
You’re sick in the head honey

You think I’m so nice for sticking by you
But the truth of it all
Is I’m waiting
For your downfall
And when that happens
I won’t be here for you
And no one else will be
Cause you’ll have no one left

I hate you so much
The thought of you makes me twitch
So get out of my life
You Stupid Little… (well you know the rest)

Hallmark Girl (Lyrics)
You and I
Well we could talk about lemons for hours on end
Yeah it’s got me thinking
Maybe we can be more than just friends

You say I’m no fun
Cause you wanted to send me a letter
But I said no
A picture of a letter is better
So you sent me that instead

(Chorus)
I just want you to know
You’re still in my head
Even long after
The messages are read
Cause you’re like my favourite song
You’re close to my heart
Cause I could never let myself forget you

You know you make me laugh
With all the weird things that you say
You know I find it strange though
Cause we think the same way
We’re so weird

[Chorus]

You say you’re without emotion
Well no need for commotion
We can just keep procrastinating
**** what’ll I rhyme with that

You said no one’s ever written you a love song before
Well no you can’t say that anymore…
You assume that everything I write is about you
So here I wrote one especially for you
You want to find some hint of love for you
Well to tell the truth I still adore you
But I can’t tell you that
Because you broke my heart already
Yeah you messed up my mind
Yeah you left me confused, now I don’t feel fine
And yet you can’t feel that pain
Tell me what did you have to gain

Now I’ve said that I don’t need you
And It’s true (no I don’t need you)
And I know there’s just no future in which you’re mine
And that’s fine

(Chorus)
Cause loving you is destroying me
Yeah it’s hard to know if you’re toying with me
Cause you’ve done it before
Who’s to say you can’t hurt me more
I’d like to say that I don’t love you one bit
But I just can’t say it

Yeah now my minds just a wreck
You’re a pain in the neck
And yet you don’t know why
Yeah cause you’re still high dry
Yeah and I want to drag you down
And help you drown
Because I’ve been drowning
Ever since you pushed me in

[Chorus]

I try not to write about you these days
But sometimes I do it anyway
But nevertheless you always say
“Hey is that about me”?
And I always say to interpret it your own way
Cause you’re wrong to assume
That every love song is about you
Cause I don’t have any making up to do

[Chorus]

I find it hard to trust others
And you knew that
And that’s the thing I’ll never understand

Yet you ask why I still talk to you
I thought you would know
I’m too nice to just abandon you

Cause I’ve loved you and it destroyed me
Was I really nothing more than a boy to you
Well I’ve been here before
And the pain, well there’s more now
I’d like to say that I could still love you
But I know how that ends…
You distract my heart
And take life off my mind
I really hope happiness finds you
Cause I’m lost when you’re sad

If life gets hard
Come on around and we’ll talk about it
But if I don’t understand
Can I hold your hand?

(Chorus)
Cause when I’m with you
The wind sweeps me up
And then we can fly away
Cause when life gets in (the way)
I don’t know what (to do)
Cause for once in my life
I think I feel okay

I could gaze into your eyes for days
Til everyone else just seems to fade away
And that’s okay, yeah that’s fine
Cause my heart’s yours and yours is mine
For now
So tell me how you feel

[Chorus}

But now you’re not here beside me like before
I hardly ever see you at all
And I don’t know if you feel it too
So here I’ll describe it for you

Cause while I’m without you
It feels like a hurricane inside my mind
And it just wants to knock me down and whisk me away
But life always gets in the way
So you know what I’ll do
I’ll wish happiness finds you…

If I Could Write...
If I could write until the inspiration left me
For you I would
If I could write to change your mind
We could go back and it’d all be fine
If I could write to make your smile stay
Oh you know me I’d be done already
If I could write about the sparkle in your eye
You know I’d try

If I could write until I can no more
I know you’d make me
If I could write until I lose my mind
So far gone that I can’t be fine
Would that make you smile
Or are you not yet that twisted
If I could write about your eyes
If I write about how empty they are now
To show you how much you’ve changed
Would you let your curse break…
Original:

If I Could Write...
by Bryson Flegg

If I could write to make you stay
I'd be done today
If I could write so you don't leave
I'd write it on my sleeve
If I could write so you don't go
I'd already know
If I could write to keep you here
I'd write something else, because it shouldn't be up to me

Bad News (10w)
For you it's bad news
Because I'm not gonna lose
Aug 2014 · 409
Maybe
You tell me to sit down
But I'm gonna stand right up
I don't want to hide what I'm all about
I gotta let the words flow out
No I don't care what they say about me
This is who I am, now can you see

Maybe I'm not good enough
Maybe sometimes life's just tough
Maybe I don't have anyone to care about
Maybe that's because I can trust no one

You had such a warm touch
I don't understand why you hurt me so much
Yeh you unfroze my heart
Just so you could burn it
Just tell me something...
Are you happy now...? Cause maybe I'm not

Maybe I once meant something
Maybe I should just stop thinking
Maybe you should take a bow
Maybe I should give up now

Maybe I want to get my words out there
Cause maybe I want to know someone cares
Cause maybe I want people to know my name
Oh yes I'm talking about fame
Maybe I want to make a scene
Or maybe I don't because being famous is too mainstream

Maybe my words not worth much
Maybe I'm not either
Maybe I should just stop writing
Maybe I'll never achieve anything

But maybe I will, cause I've never loved anything as much as I love...

Maybe I'm not that bad
Maybe people do care
Maybe there are people I can trust
Maybe tears won't make me rust
But I'm not fussed
Cause maybe I care about you all too much
And I know I say it a lot
Because maybe I don't need all this fairytale stuff
Cause maybe you all make me feel ok
And maybe it's because I could never love one person as much as I love all of you...
A word to my followers:
Go with the flow, but don't be afraid to escape it.

A word to my friends:
What is wrong with you all, why are you still my friends.

A word to my haters and enemies:
Rock on guys, you're doing a good job :)

New Muse
Anyone want to be my muse?
I think I need a new one.
Sounds weird I know
I hate how much you need me
And I hate that you can’t admit it
I hate that I can’t trust you
And I hate that you don’t get why
I hate that you hurt me
And I hate that you can’t understand how much
I hate that Iris reminds me of you
And I hate how so much other songs do too
I hate that you’re so easy to fall for
But most of all I hate that I can’t let myself fall for you again.
You want to find my hope
Well you won’t find it here
You want to find my joy
Well it’s been dead for years
You want to find my passion
Well it’s lost it’s glow
You want to find my mind
Well if you do don’t let me know
You want to find my heart
Well look deeper into yours
Cause I don’t work without you
Cause I’m like a puzzle
But I’m missing half my pieces
Cause its like I’m an intricate mechanism
You can’t unlock me
Oh no you can’t cause I’m too (complicated)
You want to find my smile
Well its too far twisted, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t dead
You want to find my spark
Well lets look for yours instead
Cause you’re a fire
You gotta burn
How else are you gonna learn
That I’m scattered across the wind
Cause I’m like air
You need me to keep you going, but I don’t need you
But now you need to learn how to burn without (me)
You want to find what I can’t live without
Well I’ll tell you honey it’s definitely not you
But when you want to find me
Well… don’t act like you know me…
To my fire girl, You don't know me so stop acting like you do.

The Thing About Me
The thing about me you see
Is I'm afraid to be me
So held down by these chains I wear
Cause I'm afraid to be free

Free your mind
Free yourself
Free your hands
Then free everyone else

The thing about me you see
Is I fall in love to easily
So caught up in a fairytale
Cause I'm afraid of what I won't find

Find your muse
Find your love
Find your friends
Then find ascension above

The thing about me you see
Is I'm blind to my own problems
So afraid to see what's right in front of me
I'm a victim of my mind's judgement

Judge your perfections
Judge your flaws
Judge your reflection
Then judge no one else cause...

The thing about me you see
Is I have troubles accepting the truth
Cause when everything I know is false
I'm afraid I can't trust a word you say

Say what you want
Say what you need
Say anything you want to say
Then say you'll no longer make yourself bleed

The thing about me you see
Is I've forgotten who I am
I'm no longer ok, I don't know how to get away
Cause I've abandoned all my plans

Plan your future
Plan your past
Plan what's next
Then plan what's last

The thing about me you see
Is I don't know what to do
I'm lost inside my sorrow, still hanging on til tomorrow
Cause I'm afraid of what you'll do to my heart if I let myself forgive you

You set me free
You're what I'd always hoped I'd find
You know there's no way I can judge you
Then you know I'd mispronounce every word I'd try to say

The thing about me you see
Is I've given up my plans
Cause they all involved you know who
And that's fine, cause who needs her
When I'm happy being with you...

Criticism
Who are you
A poet he says
Just because you string a line of words together doesn't make you a poet, you're not even very good at it, and I know you know it.
Maybe he says
I don't get you
I'm complicated he says
I hate you and you're a terrible poet.
I know he says.
Just giving myself  a bit of criticism.
Are we forgetting the true meaning of poetry,
Just like an older child might forget his/her favourite toy.
Well you know what they say a toaster toasts toast
And a poet posts poems.
Unless they don't in which case it isn't Tuesday but moonday because what are we all if not butterscotch pudding.
Yeah that's what I thought now you tell me what we do when we're not doing anything other than that something.
I don't get it either

What The Music's All About
"Suddenly I See" (KT Tunstall)
Just how "Heartless" (A Day To Remember)
You are cause, "I'm The Best Thing That Never Happened" (We Are The In Crowd)
To you, all you wanted was my "Attention" (We Are The In Crowd)
Now that's gone so "What Do You Want From Me" (Adam Lambert)
And I bet "If I Leave" (A Day To Remember)
Then you'll start to "Breakdown" (Tonight Alive ft Benji Madden)
Cause you're such a "Lonely Girl" (Tonight Alive)
So I'll "Stay, Stay, Stay" (Taylor Swift)
If you'll "Kiss Me Again" (We Are The In Crowd ft Alex Gaskarth)
I have two other poems like this, I think they're titled What Was The Name Of That Song, and  What Was The Name Of That Song Again

The End is The Start
And then it's gone
And you feel like you're gonna be all alone
And I don't know just how to help you
And no I don't know the right words to say to you
But... I'll be here waiting even if you don't come back
Yeah even if the stars and sun collided with the earth in one big crash
I'd still be here
Yeah not even a hurricane could know me now
Yeah I'll still be around
Hoping you'll stay...

Times may change
But things stay the same
Now's here
The first couple of lines are written at the end because I wrote them after I wrote the other stuff so in my notebook its written like that.

How Very Poetic This Is
I know I've said this before
but this time it's true
I know you don't have to believe me
but I'm over hating you
Cause this time I was wrong

Oh and I know
You've tried so hard to make amends
I've pushed you away
Yet you still wanted... to stay friends
I just want you to understand
(want you to understand)
The power's in your hands
(the power's in your hands)

Oh I've been such a fool
I'm over acting like I'm cool-er
than you (or anyone)
Cause this time I was wrong

Yeh this time I was wrong
Yeh this time I was wrong
Yeh this time, oh yeh this time
You were right all along

Oh I've been such an idiot
I don't expect you to forgive me yet
And all of the neglect
Was born from the pain I felt
But its over now
Yeh-e-eh-e-ehhh
Cause this time I was wrong

Cause I've had time to think it through
(My minds clear and I feel all right now)
So I can't hate you for being yourself
Girl you gotta let yourself shine through
Stop trying to clean up everybody else's mess
Cause you're better than this

Don't ever let anyone tell you you're a liar
Girl you got to live like you're made of fire
Be unpredictable
And light you're path
Just be careful who you burn
Cause this time...
You were right all along...

Start Over
Hey there old friend
let's startover again
Things have been said
Things have been read
I know I've said I hate you
That was a bad thing to do
And I know you don't care
so like...
Whatever right

We both believed the others lies
Neither one was originally untrue
I don't know cause I'm not you
But... did your heart break too

Ohh-oh-ohh I don't know
I don't care
I just don't know what to do
I really want to forgive you
But I don't want to leave the past behind
What the hell, what the hell
is wrong with me
Cause I know you see it
Or maybe you don't
I don't know
But I really hope you won't
Find out why
I...
I can't seem to make up my mind

Can't help but tell the truth
I can't decide how to feel about you
Just like an angel I've fallen from grace
but the lies that we told are just all over the place
What the hell, yeah what the hell
Why did you follow me when I fell
Now what the hell is wrong with me
I still don't know so just let me be alone
But I still want you here
So just go away
I can't make up my mind
Please I want you to stay

I want to forget what you look like
Let me take your picture so I'll never forget your face
I can't stand your voice now
Can you record a song for me
I'll never know where we went wrong
But the memory of it is still fresh in my brain
I hate that you lied
But I love how you told the truth
You messed with me and can't forgive that
But I can forgive you
Except I don't
and yet I really do
I can't tell you how much I hate you
but maybe that's because I don't
So please get out of my life
And promise to talk to me everyday
Don't I know
how do I feel
feel how I do
I
Don't
Know
Unless I...

Life, Huh...
You know how much you hurt me
So go and take all your stuff back
I don't want to be reminded of you every single day

Hearts may hurt
It's all fine
Buy new t-shirts
Sorry couldn't find a more perfect rhyme

But...

Life's too short
I don't wanna give your clothes back
They're all I have left to remind me of you
Life's too short
I've had our song on repeat
I couldn't help singing along, I've been singing for hours
Life's too short
I know that we both know that
And no matter how much things go bad
I just want you to know that
Life's too short
To stay mad at you...
It's a bit tacky, but it's meant to be.
I forgive you dudette.

To All My Dear Poet Friends
I just want you all to know how much you mean to me
Sure I could of told you all individually
But instead I wrote this mess of sentences that I'll call poetry...

My sister had a premonition the other day
Engraved in the pavement my two favourite letters 'k d'
Ink touches paper in a symphony of colours
And I got something for you, a rose my love
A gift for my greek goddess
or maybe you're really Loki
Either way as long as I'm with you my mystery girl
There'll be three times the smiles...
There you go guys, I'm hoping you should all know which of those sentences/ lines I put in there for you.
And I want you all to know that no matter what, I love you all unconditonally, unless that seems weird in which case, *Ninja Smoke*.
Hey where'd he go?
You want me to forgive you
Now that's something I can't do
You knew how important it was to me
And yet you broke it so easily
My heart and number one rule

[Chorus]
I see you no longer care
So I won't see you there
A broken promise
To you wouldn't mean much...
You shouldn't have messed with me...

But you played with my heart
And now you want to restart
I'm not just some game
You can't just start again...
So why would I...?

[Chorus]

And I know you should know it
So why mess with a poet
You should of told the truth all along
Then there'd be no reason for this song...
Oh well...

I see you no longer care
So I won't see you there
I thought I knew you
So how much was true...
Was I your friend
Or just some trend...?

And I guess you'll never know
Why I'm feeling... so low...

I thought you once cared
But the love was never there
I'll break my promise
Because you broke something much worse
You can lie all you want...
But don't mess with my.................................. heart...

Question Time
This isn't a poem it's a question;
If someone broke your most important rule could you forgive them?
I have a friend with the same name as a poet on here so when I googled his name I found this site.
I write poetry so I made an account.
I posted some poems and met a nice poet, who told me I should put up a picture of myself so I did.
Me and that poet became distant friends.
I posted some more poems and liked some from a different poet (you).
You read my inspirational bands/singers list and liked some of them.
You said the reason you sent me a message was because you liked my profile picture and the inspirations list.
Those are all of the major things that lead up to us meeting...
and I wish that none of them had ever occurred...
But... whatever right.

I think it is really funny that one poet could hate another poet so much.
"Hate me if you must, it's your choice, but know this, the more I am hated the more I am liked because I must like myself more to make up for your hate".
