Um, I've been writing stuff for years now, and no-one's ever read them before but I felt like bringing this one out into the open. Hope someone likes it.



What is pain?
It is but a feeling.
It can be mastered.
Locked away.
Hidden.
Such is anger.
Hatred.
To burst forth from the dams of time
When threads of patience
Weaken.
Fail.
It pours out, oblivious.
Aided by beautiful tormented screams.
Then you are. . .
Reborn.

Powerful. I like the message of hope intertwined with the sense of powerlessness. Very nice.

Thanks. Nothing on you, though.

This next one's a Black Valentine I wrote... For stupid exes, lol... Tho I think it's a bit corny sounding...

Roses are red
Drowned people are blue
Revenge is sweet
I'd run if I were you

Here's another corny sounding short poem-

Rip my chest open
Leave me to die
No-one'd give a ****
But then, neither would I.

To this day, I'm still not sure what inspired that. I'll admit, though, I was feeling a bit suicidal at the time... confused

Intense. I've often found that depression can give rise to some really powerful work.

Thanks. You seem to be the only person that likes my stuff, though. confused............... Anyway, here's another one I wrote... Bit longer....

I don't know what's
Inside my head
It's so confusing
All this pain
All this hurt
And all this loneliness
I don't care what people say
I just wanna be myself
But I don't know who I am
Sometimes, I just want to cry
Sometimes, I just want to die
And I want to get away
So then I hide behind closed eyes
And scream until there's nothing left
Until I'm...bleeding away inside
Now I can't breathe
I live for this darkness
It's the only way I feel alive
Away from the burning stares
Away from this ****ed-up world...
Everything here's so quiet and cold
And the only sound is my beating heart
Pulsing the blood through my veins
Reminding me of my own existence
All...by...myself.

Powerful imagery.

For the record, your poetry is really good, but you shouldn't be writing it for other people to like it. As long as it means something to you and it captures the message you want it to have, that's all it needs to be really good poetry. People will respect that , but just write for you, no-one else.

Thanks. But that is what I do. I've just never showed it to anyone before... much less an entire forum... ermm confused So it's a bit daunting......... I posted them because I wanted a bit of feedback, I guess.. confused And I was bored. So er...well, forget what I said. confused

Here's another. This is one of my more personal poems... Mainly meant for someone who apparently has forgotten I exist.

Have you ever wanted
To scream
Til you bled
So all the world
Could feel your pain?
Do you ever feel
So trapped
In life
In society's hateful routines?
Did you ever fantasize
About taking a life
About squeezing someone's throat
While you laughed?
Have you ever thought
That to play with a gun
And shoot yourself in the head
Would be fun?
Do you prefer
To walk alone
In the beautiful desolation
Of your own tortured mind
To being in
The scorching lights
Of the city?
Do you think death is beautiful?
Are you like me?
Are we the same?
Are we meant to be together
Forever?
Promise me
We'll walk always hand in hand
From one life into the next
Through fire and ice
Always
As one
And never
Let
Me go.

I lk that one and some of the things you described I have wanted to do for some reason.. lk taking a life and laughing while doing it...for some reason I've wanted to do that before shock

Haven't written anything in awhile, but I thought I'd put this up. This one's more really song lyrics than a poem, and I was NEVER gonna post it but it's how I feel right now. Anyone that's obsessed with Avril Lavigne enough can see my obsession with her in the lyrics, lol.


I hate this place
I hate this world
What can I do
I'm just a girl
I feel so trapped
Like there's no room
To make mistakes
I'll never learn

I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
I wanna run away
I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
Hold me in your arms and take me away
(Break me away)

Oh, won't you find me?
Somewhere inside me
I think I'm falling
Falling endlessly
I'm lost in darkness
And I can't find myself
Trying to escape this
But you're stalling
And I'm still falling
We'll fall together

I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
I wanna run away
I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
Hold me in your arms and take me away
(Break me away)

It's cold outside
And I feel so alone
I'm lost inside
And there's nowhere to go
Help me find my way
'Cause no one understands.....

I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
I wanna run away
I wish I could break out
I just wanna freak out
Hold me in your arms and take me away
(Break me away)........

Jumpy I LOVED IT!!!!!!! Jumpy
