I don't want you to be overused
in my poetry
but the truth is I'm still a poet
and you're still my muse.

Don't cry for me
don't smile for me
because no one can see
the people beneath
these masks that we wear
to hide our pain, but
when we find someone who cares
the masks start to break
and fall apart
when someone happens
to touch your heart,
and see's your inner beauty
maybe they'll say,
"Hey aren't you a cutie"
the pain is gone
and it will stay away
it's gone for a while
at least for today...

Let's not imagine
a perfect life
a life without hate
a life without the guy with the scythe
a life where we all
have a special meaning
a life without
all the terrible feelings
that threaten to throw us over the edge
now stop imagining and look at your life
I bet you still think your imagining that perfect life
because your life is the life you want it to be
and no matter what
someone loves you
so don't let that person seem like a ******
show them that you
love you too.

I don't know who I am right now
no smiles or frowns
just an emotionless wreck
can anyone tell me who the hell I am
because I'm out of answers
no light inside
just shadows to hide the demons
no magic left
no hate or love
just empty feelings in my heart
no mind left
for you to find
I lost it in a bet
nothing left inside my soul
but then again
I traded that for a puppy
with what dreams
I still hold onto
I could find some hope
to put the meaning
back into the hollow shell
I have become.

"All I Want" (A Day To Remember)
is for "You And I" (Anarbor)
to "Shine On" (Jet)
but it's not "All About Us" (He Is We, ft. Owl City)
and "If I Leave" (A Day To Remember)
will you come "And Run" (He Is We)
"A Thousand Miles" (Vanessa Carlton)
with me "When The Darkness Comes" (Colbie Caillat)
but let's not "Blame It On The Rain" (He Is We)
and don't think that my "Darkside" (Kelly Clarkson)
exists just to "Prove You Wrong" (He Is We)
I know "It's Complicated" (A Day To Remember)
but "Since U Been Gone" (A Day To Remember cover)
I've been feeling like your "Number One Enemy" (Daisy Dares You, ft Chipmunk)
and all I want to do is write you a "Love Song" (Sara Bareilles)
to show you that I'm "Still Into You" (Paramore)
So don't think that "Big Yellow Taxi" (Counting Crows)
is going to be your "Savior" (Rise Against)
but "Here It Goes Again" (Ok Go)
so don't think about "Everything I'm Not" (The Veronicas)
while I just sit here with "My Shiny Teeth And Me" (Chip Skylark)
trying to catch "Fireflies" (Owl City)
in a jar shaped like a "Skyscraper" (Demi Lovato)
so don't act like "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" (REM)
because in "One Week" (The Barenaked Ladies)
we'll all just be "Heroes And Thieves" (Vanessa Carlton)

No matter what happens
just look life right in the eye
and shout as loud as you can
"I won't be beat, you can't make me cry
I'll always be a step ahead
whether I'm awake
or sleeping in bed
you can't stop me
you can't hurt me
you can't see
that you're my life
and I'll live on
for as long as I can.

When I talk to you
tears form in my eyes
but I'm not sad
its just the butterflies
I get in my stomach
and I want to sing you a song
but i'd just run away
when I get all the words wrong.
Which is weird
because I wrote the song
and it only had one verse
so it wasn't very long.

Don't be afraid of the hell everyone else see's.

See hell as a nice place, and you'll never be scared of it.

If you wrote something like this
for someone like me
would I manage to smile
and feel more happy.
If I opened up my eyes
would it help me to see
or am I still blinded
by your own misery
what's that you're saying
oh sorry
you thought this
was meant to be about me...

I awake to a sound
its a knock on my door
I rush out of bed
my feet hit the floor
I put on my shoes
and of course my socks
I run to the door
and unlock the locks.
I pull the door open
and who do I see
no one is there
the knock came from a tree.

All this time I've been writing poetry to make people smile
so why do I feel so sad?

I don't really know
who I am anymore.
What happened to the world,
the world I used to adore,
the world I loved,
for filling me with hate.
What happened to the old me,
the me that hated being called your mate.
The me that hated smiling and laughing,
the me that hated being happy,
arrrr, just thinking about it makes me feel like barfing.
Who am I right now, I still don't know
Where is the me that depised being called nice,
will I ever find that me again,
that me with the heart covered with ice.
Why can't I find the me that wrote for himself
and hated everyone equally,
including himself.
Oh why can't I find that me,
I feel a weird emotion without him,
but I cant' seem to cry,
even though I know he'll be back...
because "Evil Never Truly Dies".

You can be my inspiration
if you believe in me
I'll believe in you.
You can spark my creativity
with all your wonderful emotions,
whether they are sad or happy.
I won't stop you shining through
I know you can feel it too
so don't feel blue
or I will too,
so please don't cry
when people walk away
and others pass you by.
Don't forget to be you,
you're weird and that's awesome.
I just hope that someday
I can inspire you too.

Don't ever say
this lifes just not worth living
and don't you ever believe
that you can't be happy
so please don't be
just another statistic
I won't give up on you
if you will do the same
please don't fake another smile
what good will it do
if we don't know you're hurting
why pretend to happy
when we can be happy for real
please understand that you
can be the best
if you learn to love yourself.

Oh no your phone's ringing
even though its off the hook
but that's probably because its a mobile
why can't you seem to find the answers in any book
if you're walking down the street
could you even spare a look.
What would you be without us
We are what made you what you are
but what do you care
now that you're a rising star.
So what are you going to do
when your fans abandon you.

If its you I dream about
please don't let this be a nightmare
don't scream and shout
don't let this world scare you
don't be sad
or your heart will die without you
let's not cry
though we may be saddest
let's move on
let's not sink into madness
let's look forward to tomorrow
let's be glad
empty your heart of all the sorrows
let's shake hands
and accept that we're same
can I have this dance
with you now
let's rejoice
let us sing
let the world hear both our voices.
Let's just live
this that we were gifted,
don't let your imperfections bring you down.

If I told you that you mean
something to me
could you open up your mind
and see yourself more clearly
don't you understand
you don't need to be royalty
you're just as great
as a new song from Demi
so let's stop pretending
that we're not who we want to be
let's start looking in the mirror
and liking who we see.
So let's stop lying to ourselves
we're just as good
as everyone else
don't let anyone bring you down
let's just paddle ahead on this ocean of emotion
and let's stay happy and not frown.
So don't let them tell you,
that you're not great
let's not be consumed
by our own hate
for the person we see,
let's decide our fate,
so don't let it bring you down
or you'll get cut
by the mirror shards on the ground,
but you're still here,
you're still around,
you're important.
So don't cry when I can't be found,
just look inside you
and hear the sound
of these words
inside you're heart
you're meaningful, important,
and if you feel sad just go back to the start,
and read this over and over again, until you understand.
I won't stop writing until you're smiling,
and only then this poem will end.

Am I really so oblivous
to all of lifes problems.

If I told you that I wrote this
from the love I have for you
would you give it a second glance
would you read this whole poem through
would you look at me and just "tsk tsk"
this simply just won't do
If I wrote I until I could no more
would you read this
or would you still ignore
the me that was with you
through the times we used to adore
and would you go back to your house
hop into bed and begin to snore.
Even though its the middle of the day.

What do you do when life is feeling like a dream,
and nothing is really how its seems?
Just try to wake up, or if that fails then just wait until you wake up naturally.

What is love if not confusing.
It's one of the greatest things if you can find.
And one of the most terrible things if you can't.

If we were zombies could we still fall in love and live happily ever after?

No matter what happens always cheer for the underdog.
Unless they start winning because of your cheering.
Then you stop and cheer for the new underdog.

I would love to say "I Love You".
But I'm afraid that I'm just in love with the idea of love.
And that makes me sad.

Wishing on a shooting star
where will I find you
its never far.
Will I ever know
just who you are.
Like the north sides of two magnets
we can never be together
unless you turn around.
Always walking in the opposite direction,
but the world is round
and we'll eventually meet again.
If you could just see
what I can see
we'd be so perfect, its almost scary.
So shooting star please send her a message,
"I'll see you soon, even if its just for a second.

If I wrote you a song
would you runaway with me
would you come along

If I wrote about you
and all that makes you special
Will you runaway with me too

Would it help you to see you
and all your little flaws
as beautiful, the way I do

If I wrote a letter
and sealed it with a kiss
would it make you feel any better

If I took a picture of you
and showed you your smile
would you believe its beauty to be true

And if you ever lost your way
I'd help you to find it
even if it took all day

And I know you don't want this poem to end
So just say when...

Which me was I
When we met
Who's eyes did
You gaze into
Did they see you too
Or did they just stare ahead
Like a mindless drone

Who can I be if not me?
Someone Else

Where would I be if not here?
Somewhere Else

What could I be if not human?
Something Else

When could this be if not now?
Some Time Soon

I'm sure someone would have already said or written this but I'll write it anyway

Most people can sing, its just that some people can sing better than others.

Most people can dance, its just that some people can dance better than others.

Most people can act, its just that some people can act better than others.

Do you see what I'm trying to say, it applies to just about every talent a person can possess. Some people are just more talented than others, for example:

I can write, but there are a lot of people that can write better than me, but that doesn't bother me because if someone is more talented than you with something, then you can either just sit there and be jealous or you can try to get better, and remember that if you put your mind to it then you can achieve the impossible. (Ok so you can't actually achieve the impossible, because then it wouldn't be impossible, but you get I mean).

I can't see a thing
Through the darkness in my mind
You're calling out my name
But I just can't seem to find
That smile on your face
That makes the sun shine
Please just smile
And help me to unbind
The shadows from my eyes
And the darkness in my mind
You light up the world
For all of mankind.

If stone is breakable then why is a stone hearted person less likely to take emotional damage.
Does this mean that someone with a stone heart will only be hurt more when something gets though to them.

It would be nearly impossible to have a cold, frozen heart unless you were dead, because wouldn't your body heat warm your heart and thaw it out.

I personally would prefer a paper heart, although they are the most likely to burn and your blood would most likely saturate it, which I guess would stop it from burning so that's good. A paper heart would probably be easily broken as paper is easily torn, but I guess you could do origami with it, but then I guess you'd die because you wouldn't have a heart.

So I guess that maybe a flesh heart is the best. ( **** I was really hoping that origami heart idea would catch on, like adding the word hogs onto the end of other words to make them sound cooler, all the cool kids are doing it-hogs, or so I'm telling myself)

As the famous man Gilderoy Lockhart once said
"Who am I"?
(Yes I know he's just a fictional character)

Why is it that some people don't believe that we should **** animals for food,
but those very same people will **** insects just because they think they're annoying or creepy.
I understand that insects are insects not mammals, but how does that make it any better to **** them.
I also accept the fact that some insects such as the mosquito can spread deadly diseases, but then again so can heaps of things.
I know that insects can reproduce a lot quicker than most other living creatures and so there will a lot more of them, but i still think that their deaths would be noticed by others of it's species.
So do harmless insects, no matter how annoying and creepy they are, not deserve to live.

"You truly are a wicked being".
Said the hero upon seeing
just how easily he had been caught
although he had bravely fought.
He looked up to face his foe
"You're supposed to tell me your evil plan you know".
The villain let out an evil laugh
and put on his red scarf.
"Oh yes that, well I suppose so,
and thats why I have prepared this video,
that describes my plan with little detail,
and don't try to stop me, you'll only fail.
Here I'll put it on
while I go off to put my plan into action".
"Wait" said the hero " But thats not how its meant to be,
You're supposed to stay here and explain it to me
so I can stop you"!
"Yes I know, but I'm the evil guy and I don't have to,
anyway I've got to go, now if you don't mind I'll
just leave you here to die
goodbye".

I don't even know you
and you don't know me
I'm not even sure you're real
or just imaginary
only in my dreams
do I ever see
that frown on your face
and it's overwhelming beauty
it always makes me sad
that we can not be
because your just a dream
your only temporary
and just like a dream
you've faded from my memory.

There is no such thing as a short person.
However tall you are is the normal height
And then there are the people taller than you
And the people that aren't quite as tall as you.

Am I weird because I'm not like other people

Or are other people weird because they're not like me?

Lying in a flower patch
Staring at the sky
Wishing you were here with me
But its just me, myself and I
Never had the courage
Was always just too shy
You always looked so pretty
With that sparkle in your eye
I miss you so much
And I let out a sigh
But I just want you to be happy
To you I'll never lie
I had always hoped
That I would be your guy
My phone starts to ring
My ringtones "Pumpkin Pie"
I listen to it ring
Before I pick up and say "Hi"
I turn around just like you said
And almost start to cry
You run to me and give me a hug
You don't want to say goodbye
This place just means so much to you
And its easy to know why
Because without you we're like flowers
We'll all just wilt and die.

How can you explain colours to someone who can't see?

Why do people bother telling them what colour their hair, clothes and eyes are?

Whose voice does a mute person hear in their heads?

Do they hear their own voice or the voice of someone close to them?

Why don't we have a holiday to celebrate all the great things that Satan did for us.
Maybe then we could all realise that he's not quite as evil and wicked as we believe.

I don't believe in luck
I believe in fortune.
and
I don't believe in fate
I believe in destiny.
and
I don't believe in aliens
I believe in extraterrestrials.
and
I don't believe in ghosts
I believe in spirits.

To everyone else you're just the quiet girl who sits at the front of the class
But to me you're one of the most beautiful and interesting people I know.

I wonder why clocks tick, tock
it annoys me so I get a rock
and at the clock it flys
the clock smashes with a thousand sighs.
Even clocks have a rhyme
saying tick tock tick tock, all on time.
Don't you wish you could go back and do something once more.
But that's impossible, something that you could only wish for.
In a book something could happen twice
how awesome and nice
if it were true,
but stop dreaming, wake up i'd have to tell you.

Why are our feelings of sadness so much stronger than feelings of happiness?
Why does sadness inspire people to write such beautiful things?
Why are we only happier after we're sad?
Why can't happiness inspire us as much as sadness or anger?
Why does sadness love us so much even though most of us don't like it?

If madness was at your door would you invite it in
or have you already done that?
Because the only people that are truly mad
are those that don't embrace the madness.
But then again its your choice.
So i ask you will you invite it in.

I don't care if you don't like me
if you insult me and criticize me
if you send me hate mail
because I always fail
if you try to push me around
I will stand my ground
so don't act like you're better than me
because all you are is a sad little bully.

Why can't God be female
imagine it a world where women wouldn't
have to have fought for their rights
where they would have been treated equally
from the start
so instead of saying thank god
why not thank The Goddess.

Why do people hate Satan
just because someone told them he was evil.

Is this life real or just an illusion of a life
Am I real or just the reflection of the person in the mirror
Is this world real or just the dream world and is the dream world the real world
Are my friends and family real or just figments of this false life
Am I just the shadow of the shadow I think is mine
Are the colours I see real or are my eyes just lying to me
Am I real or am I just fooling myself?

You can't wish for magic in a world without magic
because to make a wish work would require magic.
