ok, as well as an aspiring writer, i'm sort of an amatuer poet. Most of my poetry is basically anger managment to keep me from slitting my wrists (not), but some of it is inspired by music, or by something I've read. Anyway, two of my poems, Heart and Sometimes.
**********
Sometimes I wonder
If I can keep this dream alive
Sometimes I wonder
If it’s worth it to take a dive
Sometimes I wonder
If I will manage not to fall
Sometimes I wonder
If I have any point at all
So sometimes
I will break
And sometimes
I will hate and
Sometimes
I won’t care,
Truth or dare,
Stop and stare.
(Get the **** away from me)
Sometime I see
Things others do not
Sometimes I see
Myself, being caught
Sometimes I see
My life, just a flame
Sometimes I see
That I am to blame
So sometimes
I will break
And sometimes
I will hate and
Sometimes
I won’t care,
Truth or dare,
Stop and stare.
(Get the **** away from me)
Sometimes I will see truth
Sometimes I will see
What others want me to
But what I know right now is…
I’m just like you.
I gave to you
My heart to keep
You broke it, heartless
And without a peep
I closed my eyes
And fell asleep
Where there should be
A blooming rose
There I still lay
Still in a doze
Confused and hurt
Forever froze
Thinking of you
The one I chose
Well I chose wrong
That much is clear
I wake, enraged
But still you I fear
I hide inside
When you are near
My mind, my soul
Are still intact
My heart mere fragment
In your sack
I can’t leave you
Can’t begin to pack
Leaving without the important part
Would send me swiftly running back
And so I lay, and lay alone
There’s brain and body
Blood and bone
But life avoids me
Keeps out my zone
There’s friends around
Can’t hear my moan
And I have never
Felt this
alone
My heart to keep
You broke it, heartless
And without a peep
I closed my eyes
And fell asleep
Where there should be
A blooming rose
There I still lay
Still in a doze
Confused and hurt
Forever froze
Thinking of you
The one I chose
Well I chose wrong
That much is clear
I wake, enraged
But still you I fear
I hide inside
When you are near
My mind, my soul
Are still intact
My heart mere fragment
In your sack
I can’t leave you
Can’t begin to pack
Leaving without the important part
Would send me swiftly running back
And so I lay, and lay alone
There’s brain and body
Blood and bone
But life avoids me
Keeps out my zone
There’s friends around
Can’t hear my moan
And I have never
Felt this
alone
