I am not great,
only a little bit huge.
I soar not at my choice;
something is there inside me
that lifts me up,
that brings me down.
so, I never cherish ego
and this is essence
of my beautiful life for you.
I hate to say I don't care
But honestly life is so unfair
I dare not to say a word of more
Because I literally don't care anymore
Thank you hello poetry for selecting this as the daily poem but as well to everybody else! Hope your really enjoyed the poem!:)
Not even the warmth of your embrace could stop the coldness within me from freezing my heart
I never cry at midnight.
It's still too close to the drama of the day,
To doing, to being, facts, routine and acts.
Dreams are waiting, whispering,
Timidly sending out tendrils,
Tears remain untempted; this is not their time.

Near dawn, and only sometimes,
Sobs shake my unsleeping soul.
The things, the thoughts, that feed on salt, descend,
I walk a tightrope between night and day, begin and end,
I come so close to falling, and one day
I will just let go.
Jenkins always did whatever the **** he wanted to do.
He always went about his business
like it was his only purpose on Earth.
He never got bogged down
in gossip or idle talk,
made just to pass the time.
He didn't give a rat's ***
about who was doing what to whom
& vice versa.
Once I saw him spit a ******
on the floor
of a high dollar restaurant.
He blurted out, "Free Oyster!"
& laughed his *** off, what a dork.
Everybody looked shocked,
one patron dropped a fork,
another snickered.
Strange days indeed,
but nobody there asked him to leave,
they seemed pleased to take his money
instead & clean up the nasty mess.
He sought to break

What he could not shake in its fury

He sought to beat

What he could not fight at its strongest

He slacked when time slept

In its weakest moment

He forgot to fix the cracks on his happiness,

To ruin the battle of his sorrow,

To beat the taunting teeth of hardship

He watched as champions

They're testing!
Please stay silent!

They're testing now!
You must be compliant!

You must not be near them,
nor usher another word,
for do not question our authority,
to do would be quite absurd!

We are the monitors,
of the very test they take now,
this test will be the tipping factor of their life,
just don't ask me how!

They must know this information,
that they're teach has instilled for years!
It's the only hope for them now,
oh my the little dears!

Just think,
if they had no tests,
just how would they cope!
OH the tragedy of it all,
united they'll never be!
Divided they surely will fall!

No, no no! That must not come to pass!
We must give them tests,
in order to pass the class!
If they do not know it now,
then how do we assure their future?
For if you ask me now,
it won't be a pretty picture.

Even I, yes I!, must take yet another test,
to **** out through out these cretins,
of which of them is the very best.

As I huff in the air as they slowly trudge their way towards my desk,
I sit and stare silently,
at a rather tragic looking pest!!
There! Anon! He slumbers without care!
How does he expect to succeed,
as he simply slumbers there!

There is no excuses,
for him to be so tired,
he knew this day would come,
his brain should've been hard-wired!

What a nuisance,
to get up from my comfy chair!
Just to go and wake this fellow up,
all they way 5 steps to there!

Oh hush now! Hush now!
Your child is testing still!
Would you rather him do this,
than trust him with the bill?
I lay spread out on 
My local shingle beach
Letting the pebbles 
Sift through my fingers
I consider the myriad
Shapes and forms they take.
The varying rust
Charcoal grey and mustard shades

I set myself a mission
In the multitudes
That the sea brings to my feet
I will find amongst the 
Copious cobbles
The ultimate pebble
Perfect and pleasingly
Quirky or smooth.

I become so absorbed by 
This sifting sorting 
Comforting process 
A simple quest
I forget myself
And my proximity to the waves 
Until i am splashed 
And soaked and 
Have to vow to take up
This valiant quest 
Another day.

Until then I have taken 
Home a few shortlisted
Candidates
And made a promise to stand up when
The winner is found
And make a little trumpet
Fanfare sound
And hold the stone aloft!
LOVE IS HEART FELT
love is stupid
LOVE IS FEELINGS SHARED
love is heart ache,
LOVE IS HOLDING HANDS
love is confusion in mind,
LOVE IS WHEN WE BECOME ONE
love is longing for you in my life,
LOVE IS SKIPPING A HEART BEAT WHEN WE TOUCH
love is my heart lonely again,
