In the darkest hour,
Even the brightest star can fall.
Knowing why,
They met their impending doom.

Because they lost, hope.
Wearing, scarred - can't cope.
They gave it all away.

They had a broken heart,
Became another disfunctional part,
Of an inherited malignant machineā€¦

We-got-to look, in-side,
Fight-with all your might,
To make it a better day - for you and me.
For-they-say-all dreams don't come true,
But-all-it-takes-is one to break through,
And change the world.
It's-a-matter of per-cep-tion,
Which-dictates-the planet your from,
And-if-it stays green.

Is only as big,
as your brains capacity,
and your empathy

Hello Poetry!
My illustrious friend!

It is here,
That we meet once again!

Never before did I intend to show,
The colours inside that resonate and glow!

Fortified within the four walls of my forehead,
Connected linguistics and rhythms were put to bed.

When pen met paper, it would be a rare oddity,
A place where my words turned into a holiday:
A place to absorb some sunlight,
The crisp, warm & creative air,
Only to be forgotten,
A month after you had been there!

But no longer will the quill remain in its sheath,
No longer shall a poem, be unable to breathe.

How?
(You ask)

Because my creativity is alive!

Especially now,
Because I can post them online!

A sagacious & sinister grin he bares,
As he spends a sojourn with his Sins.

The police may have taken him in,
But I ask, who really wins?

He awaited as the picture played,
Perceiving the perpetual pestilence of the putrid people - He sought to be plagued.

"It is sick!" - He stated, as he fulfilled his fate.
It is sick, what he did on that very date.

Not a man, but a mouse that opened fire that day.
A worm, now squirming in a court room to have his say.

Actions speak louder than words, and we have already heard your statement,
You are a Joker that deserves to be broken, in which Death is the only treatment.

Whimpers, woefully woven,
Can cry sheets of silk.

Made into a duvet, doomed,
Whispering chills in a silent din.

Icey cold, like daggers against skin,
Carving from the warmth it would once bring.

Solace, Silence and Serenity,
All seem to define this reality.

Imprisoned, within these four walls,
I weave my whimpers through tomorrow...

I will weave my whimpers,
But I will learn to sew.
I would like to give this poem a name and any suggestions would be appreciated! (As well as your feedback!!)

Just give me something short and sweet,
A melody to lift me from my feet,
To send me into that illustrious trance,
Grab my hand and let us dance!

Sing, To your heart's content,
Sing, Til your out of breath,
Sing, And let everyone join in,
Sing, Allow beauty to transcend and ring!

Just **SING!

When I was born,
From my mother torn,
I screamed out my first breath,
From my lungs.

From there my senses grew,
Everything a-new,
A whole world,
Was just one room.

But from there we grow,
We seem to know the same.
The curtain's drawn,
On intelligence now tame.
As we copy and paste,
Our own mind frames,
So tell me when, will there,
Be change?

If you,
Could change the world today,
What would you change?
I'd open every mind,
and every window to let -
Love shine in!
As hatred is too cold,
For the blood that,
Runs through my veins.
I want everybody to come to realise that,
We're differently the same!

When I was but a teen,
I still lived a dream,
that we could be,
what we want to be.

But from there I found,
That the worlds not round,
It's pretty linear,
Depending on where you see.

But from there we grow,
We seem to know the same.
The curtain's drawn,
On intelligence now lame.
As we copy and paste,
Our own mind frames,
So tell me when, will there,
Be change?

If you,
Could change the world today,
What would you change?
I'd open every mind,
and every window to let -
Love shine in!
As hatred is too cold,
For the blood that,
Runs through my veins.
I want everybody to come to realise that,
We're differently the same!

So take a look at yourself,
and your own concepts,
your own reasons and feelings,
the things that you believe in,
Can't you find that we all have our own,
and they're all intertwined,
Because through empathy,
we are one unity,
that's all but differently...

...The same!
