Who

Who

Who is this imagine
Starting back at me

Wide dark eyes
And a hidden disguise

The numb is sweet
And hard to beat

Keeps me coping while
My heart is kept hoping

Without the mask, hope is hanging by a thread
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead

If "hope is the thing with feathers"
My bird is not placed in my soul

We all try to drown the Demon
But sometimes the place to perch is full

Who is this imaging staring back at me
All things I never thought I'd be

Being a woman

Dec 2015 SJ

Chloe Zafonte

Being a woman

The worst part about being a woman
Is that a man can hurt me emotionally
And I will always get the blame

It comes off a bit feminist but I'm tired of being told "I just choose the wrong guys"

Care

Antonio

Care

Make my body, a host for your pain.
sell myself to keep me sane.
Take your burdens, come weigh me down.
If your happy, I'll gladly drown.

Look up through the surface, my eyes meet your face.
You are sporting a smile, a frown once replaced.

Content in this lake is where I shall lay.
as long as you smile, I'll happily stay.

Shouting from behind a glass wall, I want to save you.

I wanna **** him
I want to make him pay
He hurt me
he made me wish I was dead

I hate him!

But I wanna cry in his arms
I want to be with him
He did love me
He made me wish I would always be his

But I love him!

Sure he hurt me
Sure he cheated
Sure he lied

But I hurt him
I pushed him away
And I also lied

Red blood

Red blood

Everywhere I look all I see is blood
Blood in my hair
Blood on my hands
Blood on my clothes
Everywhere I look I see blood

The blood I see is mine
It's the blood that came out when I cried
This blood came from me
Because I made myself bleed
Thats why all I see is blood

The Bookworm

Angge

The Bookworm

His study, with books of various kinds,
A dim light, his only source—
To keep himself from going blind
To keep himself on course

In Langdon's mind,
Whatever stood behind this force
Is yet to be defined.

Day 3 - Find the nearest book (of any kind). Turn to page 8. Use the first ten full words on the page in a poem. You may use them in any order, anywhere in the poem.

Book used: "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown

A Dance With Lady Life

A Dance With Lady Life

La da di
La da di
La da da

*** pum pum
Pum pum pum
Pum pum pum

This is fun
Oh what fun
Life is fun!

As I dance
With this life in the sun

And if life is my dance partner there

I dance and let go
Without a care

Then I sit back and watch
As she moves all alone

In this world
I drift from place
To place
Without a home

I am engaged in a dance with life. She is my dance partner. Sometimes I step back and watch her dance alone.

And so I approach life, my dance partner, not holding her too closely, not too tenderly. Perhaps being polite and kind, but not really loving her. Why should I totally love you, life? You play games with me, and so I will play games with you.

But these are playful games, in good spirit and good fun.
