Let us all share a laugh.
Fake it good.
Force it through your anger.
Father God, was it worth the trouble?
Crush it all.
Grind it into rubble.

Forcing laughter
Faking smiles
Same old tired
Lonely place
Hunter K Nov 2014
Have you ever felt,
As if your about to melt?
Not from love,
but from being sick of,
being ignored.

You ask your mother,
To listen to your latest poem,
but she says to go ask another.

You leave the room,
Feeling as if your everyone's doom.
You sit back on your bed,
Thoughts floating around your empty head.

You feel left out,
As you gaze out the window.
Knowing their is many like you,
The gift to pull fresh poems out of thin air,
It just isn't fair.
So maybe,
Just maybe,
You will go read your poems to an infant baby.
Everyone is too busy to listen to my latest poems. It stinks since i am really want to share them.

Beat
Beat back the urge

Beat it back to the Stone Age
You nerd!

I got a motor mouth
A mile a minute
It's a song and dance
But I'm not in it

Bite
Bite your lip

Fool yourself into thinkin'
You've beat it

I got a tigger finger
No gun to pull
A fragile headstock
Lost my cool

I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away
I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space
You can keep it down for a little while
But soon enough you'll be forced to smile

Keep
Keep your cool

Keep it locked up tight
One rule

I got a worn out shirt
It Never fits right
I shift my shoulders
Under the lights

Make
Yourself do better

Make it all go away
It's the weather


I'm a bit twitchy Don't touch me
I need you to love me
You're so far above and I'm so far below
I'm losing control and it's just not enough
My nerves are aching to just get rough
I'm worried what happens if I'm in freeze
I get up the itch and I need a release
There's so much to manage to do and to say
My mouth is just in the way

I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away
I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space
You can keep it down for a little while
But soon enough you'll be forced to smile

I want to cry
And fall apart
But I must be a brave soldier
And silence my heart
s Oct 2014
don't force me to believe in love
when all i could see is just another broken part
don't force me to believe in your heartbeat
because it's still beating even though there was no love
don't force me to look into your eyes
because i don't want to drown in the sea of your tears
don't force me to believe in love even though it was real..
Emily Archer Sep 2014
I sing the song of the sinking ships that drown in the vast, dark ocean of depression I call home. They slosh against my ribcage with such force, I fear I may break entirely.
I'm sorry I write so often about the ocean.

Come one its time to go
Time to leave all behind

You did your best…
As sincerely as you could
Worry not, cause no one cares
No one’s seen the scar, the wound
Gaping hole in your heart so big
The emptiness that has returned to hound

Bother not, for no one loves
Its in your mind..
People like you don’t deserve
that second chance that life can give

Move on, its over
Tell yourself, Wake yourself
Cause its past time, you moved on
and left the dust behind
Let it settle and you will see
Only memories of a dimmed out mind

Bury yourself, cause there are places to hide
Wear a mask, as you always did
Of a cheerful exterior and go back to what you did
Where you found your inner strength

Focus, cause its no use
Its not coming back and you have far to go
Life’s not over, till it happily slides past the shore
Where you’ll come to rest
your burdens galore

Can you tell anyone what you feel?
Can you tell anyone who you are?
Can you explain, why it is you?
Can you think of a way to get out?

Then, I say, again get up!
cause its no use, being stuck in the past
Being stuck with this state
You can’t battle it out
So make the most of it
Channel, your love to the ones who need
There are so many aching for a kind word you see
Where your words will not rebound on empty hearts
Where your words will sink in hungry souls
Waiting for a smile a hug and unconditional love

Come on, let’s go
See they are beckoning
A world yet undiscovered
Don’t stay back, stuck in the throes of pain
When you can find, new hope, new light again
Where the sun shines bright
Where the darkness will fade and bring glorious light
Where you can beam and meet a thousand smiles
You only need to find that fight
make it worthwhile till it lasts
So get up move your body
Get up before its late
Don’t give up before this fate
Cause I want to live
and you can’t take
That right I have
For I am a part of you
A force greater than you
Yet you’ve weighed me down
So I say, I want to live I want to survive
Throw me not away for a love that could not survive…..
The struggle of the spirit over the flesh….This is my spirit beckoning my body to forget the pain and move on..2 different identities of me  clashing! One with hope and one without

The people say we
Are a force to be reckoned with.

Malleable minds
Keeping up with the
Times.

A comfortable content,
Encouragingly hell-bent.

Let's change lives
Or even just one.
Right
before this feels done.

A force to be reckoned with,
You and I.

Let's set something afloat,
Before it's time
For me to
Rip out
Your
Throat.
Something different.  Criticism appreciated.
