Post your poetry here! Don't be shy, we won't ridicule. :) Here's 2 from me to start out with.
We Can't Survive on Dust I need your clocks and watches to help me keep my step alive; in tune. Clean off your face of residue; don't sleep in attic corners when you're with me. We can at least survive in the center of rooms if not on a bed or two. I'm not gathering the dust from your eyes anymore, we've grown and you've got the steady hands. You tap out a beat and look to me to follow but I've forgotten how to move my feet and the humming in my throat is choked. You chose this, laugh with it. How calloused do your fingers get before you can't touch me anymore? You left a scratch the other day and now our backs are sore. Let's give this up and crawl into corners. I can't trust the dust in yours, so don't breathe and send it over to me. Don't breathe unless you're next to me.
What Took Off My Head
I lost my skies for good this time. From weakness there comes strength until the weak crawls back again. Let all the bitterness escape but I make it sink back in. Taking down the fortress brick by brick and lie by lie to find a mirror; in it, me. I knew the wood beams crumbled and plastic walls collapsed, but in the din I shouted only louder still until I lost my head. Softened knees and slackened backs coax the chance back under thick of skin. I hid the convulsions that tore me apart, I forget why theyd come and why I stared but I stared for so long when we hid in the dark. Debate by birth and questioned sight but if I fight Ill bite my own way back. Willows branches upside down but right side up its free and near to stable ground. Branches touch the ground and I am beautiful once more. Let it all cave in; collapse. Trade a he for she and ask her name, say it twice and twice again so that you wont forget. It all becomes more beautiful and it all took off my head.
Do thee feel the same as I feel about thee Art we even friends or less than nothing Doth ye dream of me as I do of he 'Tis a great day when I see your smile
Whilst I know it would never be I still dream 'Twas a great time when we were together Thou absence added to my cheek a stream Hath the skies grayened, worsened weather
If it was up to me, you'd be away with me and safe. I'd steal the seeds and plant the trees deep in the soles of our shoes.
We'd be hidden in your attic and never see your school again.
Had it been my way, I'd have fallen off the earth and into your arms and we'd be breathing the sounds of the colors on your skin.
Think of all the times you could have seen me when instead you blinked and fell asleep.
Let's wrap ribbons 'round all the trees and sing songs of someone else's love.
Tell me you would take me wherever I pleased and run through rain when you hate being cold. I'd make sure you loved the cold.
We'd add trash to the galleries, give it an intelligent name and call it art.
Just look me in the eye and whisper what you need from me. This is our time. This is our day, and you're never too far from reach.
I ****ing Hate You
I hate you for leaving me without a glance. I hate you for being so far out of reach. I hate you for making me wonder when I'll ever find a girl like you again. I hate you and your art. I hate that friend of yours with the blue t-shirt and stupid hair. I hate your jeans and your vest and your shoes even though I couldn't see your shoes. I hate you for not running after me. I hate you for not stopping me on the street when f[]ck knows I wanted to stop you. I hate you for being beautiful and lovely and I hate you for making me scared; I hate you for reminding me what it's like to fall in love and I hate you for not letting me fall in love with you.
everything is amazaing. i havent written a poem in a long time, so i'll post all of my old ones.
most of these are dark...cause i have a dark mind.

clear the halls, lock the doors break down the walls, get ready for a little more. the beady eyes and snapped neck, they bring you closer to your death. shield your soul lock your heart do as he says you fool, he had you from the start. close your mouth shut your eyes getting ready for the unknown because your about to die.

I can't describe what my heart feels, But all I know is that I'm broken inside I'm dying to let it all out, I'm sick of people telling me what to do, And Everyday I'm rididuculed by this messed up world I fall to the these people standards Someday I'm going to break down these walls And break free And someday I'm not going to care what they say Because i'm headstrong I wont be torn at the seams I'm stronger than all these Someday You'll see me break free. One day you'll see, I'll get wings like an eagle, I'll look down and see all the things that i've been through, And my once shattered dreams.

i was really ticked when i wrote this. sorry for the cussing.
i hate you america. you little piece of shxit. you should go to hell for the crime that you did. you caused girls to cry, for your own sick little game, when all the boy wanted was just a moment of fame. you freaking made him leave, and dissapiont girls everywhere. now i will rebel against you, you better hope i don't give you my share. you are a freaking prejudice country that is not a great place which to live, you better hope i don't freaking kill you, you freaking little bixtch. :]

here's a 'different version of the first one..
Close your soul, Lock your heart. Do as he says you fool, He had you from the start. The beady eyes, And snapped neck, The whispered lies, They bring you closer to your death. The booming voice, Pale white face You had a choice You chose your fate. Close you mouth, Shut your eyes Get ready for the unknown Because you're about to die.

the sweet scent of misery is surronding us now we're engulfed in the memories let's shout them outloud, so let's just let them flow in a messed up song and not let our emotions show all night long. we'll exchange secret glances and murmur soft whispers let's exceed everyone's expectations and follow where the road takes us because our love will lead the way. so don't be afriad to show me your heart when it's not secure cause i'll be the blanket that finds the cure.

Another blow, Aimed at the face. Another hit, That's not the first mistake. Crying out loud, She's in pain, stop stop. She's now bleeding from the mouth, On the bottom and from the top. Of course he didn't hear, Her silent cries. It was was something she couldn't bare, You could see it in her big swollen eyes. Blood is splattered on the floor, Her arm is broken in different places. He didn't care, he did it even more, There was no emotion on their faces. Her grave now sits in a cemetery, Her name is carefully carved. Only he knows the reason, She'll always hold a special place, in everyones heart.

Ravorblades, Blood dripping down, The pain slowly fades, It's all in the past now. Your feeling on high, You think it's all done, But there's still the fight, You've still got no one. You look in the mirror, And take in your pale skin, Your face shows fear, Your body's still thin. It enters slowly and takes control, You can't stop it, Your mind suddenly turns cold, You're sick of all of this s.h.it. Now you just want it to end, But there is one thing that you must know, Is that you can't give up my friend, the fight has nearly just began.

One by one, They all start to fall, They were solider fighters Are next world leaders. Going down in flames, And they're defeated. Their enemies are standing over them laughing, They wanted this to happen. Bruise after bruise, Fight after fight, Beating after beating, And they survived it all. One brawl, one disaster, Now they're buired in the ground No more innocent eyes to look in, Or smiling faces to smile back at, Cause they destroyed them all. Tombstones scatter the cemetary, All for the same reason, They each have a different name carved, They happened in four different seasons. Boys and girls alike, They attacked them all. They watched them, They watched them all fall. No one was there to catch them, No one there to save them. Innocent lives taken by an Uninnocent act.
