They rattle inside my head, thoughts of you bouncing of the walls.
They jump and fly in and endless chase, as my mind begins to race
They chain me and consume me, control me with their power
Thoughts of you trap me like a jail covering up my mind
And yet they set me free, like nothing before
Shining a light in darkness as they hold me tight within
Images of past and future flash across my eyelids
Memories battling hopes
Thoughts of you cause battles to ensue and destruction of my mind
And yet they bring a calming peace, with images of a happy time
Thoughts of you rattle inside my head bouncing of the walls. Slowly driving me insane

Try to answer these questions in 3-5 words each
What does grass smell like?
Not using the word crackle what does it sound like to step on snow?
What does salt taste like?
What does it smell like before rain?
What does it smell like after rain?
What does your hand feel like?
What is the texture of hair?
What does water taste like?
What does it feel like to touch silk?
What does gasoline smell like?
What does a pine tree smell like?
What does fear feel like?
You may call yourself a poet, but can you answer this, the words rattle inside your brain the answer longs to get out. Yet you can't find the words to describe it.

In the centre floats the sun
bringing life and order to the planets
She is that girl
the popular girl that the world revolves around
She brings light and beauty
demanding attention
she is the comparison
to gold and all things perfect
she is inspiration to all the poetry
yet no ones seems to notice
her poison and deceit
her radiation leaking
destroying the world
as she burns consuming
everything in her path
Then there are the planets
those perfect orderly orbs
the unnamed crowd
following their pretty girl
as she orders them about
they follow her hierarchy
numbered better or worse
hoping not to be
at the bottom of the list
the nerds or misfits like pluto
are forgotten and unloved
as she demands attention
from everyone above
Id much rather be a moon
a shining mystery
a tiny forgot speck.
Floating about on my own path
never quite the same,
forgetting about popularity
and its unrelenting chain.
Seen as an evil
associated with black and monsters
yet i’d shine a light down
through the darkness.
You can see its painful craters
the scares of past time
and yet i’d keep on lighting
and moving alone just fine
Id much rather be a moon
free to be myself
I don’t need to be
the spotlight
I’m content with second place.
forgotten by the many
yet remembered by the few.
I don’t need to be the golden girl
Im fine to be silver
for silver moons are much better
than demanding golden sun

Help I have bad internet connection
I can't check the school website.
That means I won't know about a test
That means I won't study
That means I will fail
That means I will get bad grades
That means I won't get into a good school
That means I won't get a good job
That means I won't get money
That means I won't buy food
That means I won't eat
That means I will die
Help I have bad internet connection
I can't get on facebook
That means I can't change my status
That means I don't take my relationship serious
That means he will dump me
That means I will be single
That means I won't get married
That means I will die alone
Help I have bad internet connection
I can't FaceTime
That means people are waiting for me
That means I won't show up
That means they will get worried
That means they might over react
That means they could call the police
That means they will think I'm missing
That means they will look for me
That means my family will get scared
That means they may start thinking the worst
That means they will think I'm dead
That means they will be upset
That means they will look for my body
That means they will find me
That means they will realize I'm not dead
That means they will be mad at me for scaring them
That means they will punish me, stop talking to me, who knows what else.
Help I have bad internet connection
I can't see any news
That means I won't know what's happening
That means I will be left out of all the conversations
That means I will be an outcast
That means I will have no friends
That means I will not make any relationships
That means I will go through life alone
That means I will become a hermit
Help I have bad internet connection
I can't access the e-library
That means no books
That means no learning
That means not getting any smarter
That means not getting into a good school
That means not getting a good job
That means no money
That means no buying food
That means no eating
That means I will die.
Face it! Life revolves around internet! If you have bad internet connection you could die, you couldn't even get on hello poetry *gasp!

A shining sun
Glaring bright
Stopping all
With our smiling light
Till the cover
Was tossed on
And darkness crept
Around the sun
Black paint
Covering all
Snuffing out light
So all will fall
And when the time
Finally gets handle
When light can shine
It's but a candle
On a stand of wax
With a tiny flame
The dark still creeping
Barely kept tame
And yet that makes
It prettier yet
When the stars shine,
The too bright sun has set
The tainted color
Brings beauty new
Mystery and light
Of a more believable hue
The smiles back
Seeming even more bright
Against the backdrop
Missing it's light.

The days turn cold
As another year passes by
Memories become old
Blurry scenes in a movie
Who're tickets never sold
And yet I'm frozen in time
The rewind button stuck
Playing the same old rhyme
Over and over again
Unable to start a new chime
Like a chain of silver shine
Wrapped forever on my frail wrist
Tieing me to an unmoving pine
In the forest of forgotten times
Secrets that haunt me with every line
Step forward the world says
But the chain pulls me back
Unrelenting metal made of days
Never to be forgotten
And never to free me from their rays
And they key will never be found
Hidden from all others
But it's not barried in the ground
My freedom is in your hand
Under watchful eye all year round.

The rumble grows inside
He hands clenched in fists
Eyes open wide,
From the sound she tries to hide
The sound grows to a rumble
And she begins to scream
Ceasing the crowds mumble
And in panic they stumble
They don't understand her torment
The the pain and sound just for her
They wonder where the sweet girl went
And what caused her mind to be so bent
Her pain and trouble goes unseen
As life goes on unfazed
Untill one day she breaks her screen
And her slate is finally wiped clean.

Fire for deadly hell
Fire for holy power
White for heaven when you die
White for doctors who don't let you die
Green for the environment
Green for environmentally toxic
Tears for sorrow
Tears for joy
This is the imperfect perfection of humans

She is a small glass vase
With beautiful flowers painted
Hastily on
Only the outside barring paint
She is strong enough
To hold tight
Whatever treasure you put inside
She is beautiful
And perfect to the eye
But if you look closely
You can see
The spiderweb cracks
Where she was dropped
The cracks that scarred but never broke her
The cracks that never heal
She is a canvas
Of pure white
Painted over and over again
To create the perfect image
The one that pleases all
With only few specks
Of her true canvas showing through
She is a treasure chest
Covered in gems and paint
But the beauty of the box
Cannot begin to compare
With the gold within
The gold that is hidden
By the steel lock
That if you force
Will clamp much tighter
But with the perfect key
Will open with ease
To let your eyes
Veiw the rare gift
That is her treasure within

You are too sweet to lie
I am too much a lie to be sweet
You are too loved to be hated
I am too hated to be loved
You are too gentle to hurt
I am too hurt to be gentle
You are too good to the bad
I am too bad to the good
You are too beautiful to be ugly
I am too ugly to be beautiful
You are too kind for this tainted world
I am too tainted for this kind world
You are too perfectly perfect
I am too imperfectly imperfect
You are my contradiction

Your eyes
Fall ever so slightly tilted
In that perfect way
That melts my heart
Like the chocolate
That is them
When ever
Your beautiful gaze
Pierces mine
Your round lips
So uniquely tainted
So that they aren't
The red everyone wishes
And some how
This dull color
Makes them that much more special
And I want them to be mine that much more
Your hair
Like perfect rings
Wrapped around my fingers
Flows like waves
Of coffee
In a beautiful dream
To good to be true
Your face
Eternally planted on my eyelids
So that every time I blink
I see your complexion
And never can I
Remember faces
But somehow my mind
Captures every piece of you
And I replay it to myself
As you keep me awake
Unable to sleep
For you have stolen from me
And the loot you have robbed
Beats in your hand
And your smile
Always put on your face
Staying strong and happy
Untouched by the world
Even when it tries to cause you pain
And I can only stand by
With an ache in my chest
As I am helpless
Against what life will throw
For you are too good
Too sweet, too kind
Too caring
Too ready to apologize
Too prepared to make the world perfect
Too innocent yet too haunted
Too good to by true
Too true to be mine.

My blank eyes stare
In bold frustration
At the white sheet
Sitting, calmly mocking me
On the plain brown table
The pen quivers in hand
My mussels shake with shame
But try as I might
My ideas are insanely sane
No bursting fits of passion
Or inspiring metaphors
Only a page covered in splatters
From my ink of internal wars
A block of metal in my mind
A chain of iron on my hand
Glossy mirrors on my eyes
Spiking needles in my thighs
Calling for me to get up
To leave this terrible attempt
But when a poets mind is blank
Like mine
About blankness will they find a rhyme

Tick tick tock
Chimes the clock
As the hands spin in circles
Never to return
Once it's gone we must learn
That the time will never come back
And why oh why
Did I waste my time
On you
You sided with her
When the fight broke out
When I critized her
You would scream and shout
Why did I waste the time
I tried my best
To always please you
I would act as though the things
You did
Never bothered me too
Why did I waste the time
I tried to get your attention
Worried about clothes and hair
But when I came
You were know one knew where
Why did I waste the time
You'd cowar and scream
Giggle and hide
You knew nothing about love
Yet I stuck along in your tide
Why did I waste the time
And finally when I broke off
The foolish thing that was us
I realized I was fine
Even though you would cry and fuss
So I think to myself
Why did I waste the time

A teardrop
Like a shimmering stream
Rolls down the moving hill
Leaving a river trail
On the flesh colored soil
Slowly it leaves its white rimmed pond
As it travels on
It's sorrowful journey
Across the hills
To the ruby petals
Which open to free a wind
Of lugubriousness
As they call for more drops
The glistening stream
Crosses the petals
Leaving a salty trail behind
As it falls to the rounded edge
Where it falls with a splash
To the floor below
Waiting patiently
For its followers to fall
From the land above
On their teardrop journeys

On this cold winter night
The wind is starting to bite
And the snow starting its flight
So come dear, into my sight
And hold me hear just right
Your hands warming light
Keep me safe from fright
You are my shining knight
My inspiration to write
And when you hold me tight
On the chilly eve, you give me might
And take away my smite
Bringing joy as you quench my fight
As December turns the world white
The moon a flying kite
That turns darkness a silver so bright
From its unbeatable height
You make my worries slight
Your presence is my delight
Telling me that everything's alright
As we sit in the twilight
Our emotions ignite
But the winter calls in spite
Trying to bring contrite
For us ignoring it outright
As inside together we excite
Each other's warm invite
By the fire with love tonight
At last we reunite

Our arms flail as we flounder about
In our lakes impossible tide
A water of unforgotten days
That we couldn't escape if we tried
Some people's are small others wide
We do our best to escape
Pulling ourselves to the sandy beach
Resting from its power,
Pulling us in, never free of its reach
To it we aren't worth a screech
As we grow our lakes do too
Filling with waters good and bad
Powerful waves and calming seas
Old emotions happy or sad
As we grow to man from lad

A poem is a harmony
Of words without a melody
It is a written door
Into a world new
A poem is a poets escape
Into a place where emotion glows
And where they can write with passion
Without worry of word ration
A poem is a magnify glass
Where forever every second will last
And the simplest of times
Becomes the hero of your rhymes
And walking home from school
Becomes a metaphor, a life long rule
A poem is an incredible way
To show the world how you feel today
It looks like words on a page
And yet it frees you from a cage
A poem is a harmony
Of words without a melody

You said you were forever
You said we'd always be friends
You stick by my side no matter what
It would be years till we met our ends
We would have our children play
Like us they would be together
They would share all our memories
Like us they would never lie to each other
Then you started to hide things
You manipulated, controlled our rights
We cried over the phone
As you started merciless fights
You promises all disappeared
Becoming faded ink on our sleeve
You turned all but a few against me
Soon we wanted you to leave
Once you were the world to some but
you hurt us more than we can say
You brought pains, scars and sadness
Emotions that will never go away
And now you've gone and left us
The pain has finally gone
But tears can still be shed at night
From a pain that lasted so long

Mangled bodies from the grave
Chase you with avenge
Their destroyed faces rave
As they come for gruesome revenge
The cackling grows louder
As the close up on you
Wanting you to cower
As their chase you through
The spell of death in in the air
Crumpled candy under feet
Dread and fear everywhere
Turning people white as a sheet
The graveyard horrors stomping feet
What happens next is unforeseen
The gouls and goblins yell trick or treat
On this perfect night of halloween

Eternity is in our hearts
Smaller than I knew
It can be but meet seconds
As long as I stand with you
It doesn't always last forever
Fleeting as the morning dew
It's those perfect moments
With family friends loved ones too
Eternity is when time stands still
Those moments that our love grew
The moments we want to never end,
from them precious poems we drew
Sitting here I realize
That surely I will fail
For homework I do not have
Eternity to prevail

I was new to the school
I had no friends
Fear wrenching my gut
And so I smiled
I met some people
They turned me away
Bullied behind the back
And so I smiled
Finally I made true friends
And got asked out
But of course it never did last
And so I smiled
Then the friendship all went wrong
Promises broken, loved ones lost
Blood was shed, turning hands red
And so I smiled
Horror, black clothing
So much more
Crying and dying all inside
And so I smiled
A grandfather left
Passed away
No longer shall we play
And so I smiled
Glaring eyes crossed
Hatred shown in the hall
Between friends turned enemies
And so I smiled
True friends turned sisters
Moved away
Leaving me alone
And so I smiled
Fear wrenched me again
As I tried to mend
Broken friendships from childhood
And so I smiled
Now I have met some girls
Not true friends but close
A boy I like is more than friends
And so I smiled
But a smile no longer means happiness
Now it's simply a brave face.
So how do I reveal to the world
That I am somewhat happy?

she opens her soft arms
The glowing light
Shown to the world
A frail shell
Open at last
As she reveals
Her smallest secrets
Allowing her sweet beauty
To flow through
Untampered with
By her beautiful protective arms
She is natures greatest beauty

Darkness, it's so mysterious
A sign of the abyss
We can't penetrate it with our eyes
We will never no what's beneath
It can be a color called black
Which people will wear
It's for grieving and for sadness
And for protection too
They won't come near, if they fear
The emotional abyss
The one that in srounded by our
Dark outfit
It can be a hiding place
For those who always fear
With no lights they can't come near.
It gives us a place of freedom
But it frees our enemies too
We can't see them coming,
The monsters under the bed.
As they hide within
Their darkened mist
In the dark abyss.
It can be the unknown,
A shade of mystery.
We are all left in the dark
When we think of this shade.
We can't see, we can't know
Whatever lies beneath,
Is unknown to us humans
As it wiggles in the deep.
It can be evil
The sign of tainted good
The color white muddied,
By the darkened sins.
It shows us when to hide
Since the monsters come at night
It is the spookist of colors
The one that shows us death.
But it can be beauty too,
A protective guard over us.
A shroud of mystery
To keep the others guessing.
It lets us be alone
When we truly wish.
It hides us from our enemies
And keeps the small ones safe
After all when its night
And we all wish to sleep
We plunge our selves into darkness
And welcome the abyss.
