Count The Stars"Count The Stars"

I tried to count the ways

That I love you in the stars

This project took me days

And I'm still not very far

Some stars burned brightly

Before falling to the ground

Just then I thought of how

You make me feel when you're around

I never thought I could love

But you slowly showed me how

Back then I couldn't do

Things that I can now

I love your color eyes

Your grin; your skin

I love the way you glare

When you know I let you win

I love the way your hair

Gets tangled in the wind

Its great how we relate

Because I know where you've been

I love how you're so kind

I love the way you think

I love your sex appeal

Exiled Together"Exiled Together"

He slept with both eyes open

As the maiden near him cried

Under covers tightly woven

They knew tomorrow would be goodbye

He gave her all he had

But soon she'd have to go

Leaving him very sad

And possibly quite alone

She could have been pelted

By stones from those arms

Who would rather see her swelter

Under fire by a barn

Every time they tried

To torture her to death

This man would come around

And defend her one last breath

But now she would be cast

Into the morning's rising sun

I can't say I know for sure

What exactly she had done

Was she deemed a witch?

A fugitive? A traitor?

Was she the town's snitch

Truth?"Truth?"

Truth has become reality's biggest nightmare
Which always becomes buried by those in despair
For is it more noble to bite one's tongue until it turns red
Or let truth accumulate until his heart pumps out dread?
My intuition has led me to the truth many times before
Of which I have realized truth is not the cure
But what is the truth when every character has a story
Upon which each owner desires to claim truth's glory?
For it is comforting for those to retreat from their fears
Or deny truth exists and mask it with cheers
What ignorant mortals for them I take sorrow
For truth will target and haunt them tomorrow
As for myse

Songbirds"Songbirds"

In the summer I grow rather fond

Of watching the swans hover over sea

And often wonder what it would be

Like if they could be like me.

Rather, I wonder if I could grow wings

And soar above the stores and malls

Gliding between buildings

And downtown city hall.

To be like a bird

To have such freedom

Does that sound absurd

To fly towards a kingdom?

I'd fly south for the winter

Avoiding the cold in the city

Because snow stings like splinters

Leaving marks not very pretty.

I'd leave colors in the sky

And into the burning sun

But not before I die

Or not to be outdone

I'd perform circles in the air

Spreading my wing

A Poem To God"A Poem To God"

Please God;

Forgive me for what I've done

I never meant to hurt myself

I never meant to hurt anyone

On my deathbed of sin

All that I can ask

Before my final hour begins

If only you can grasp

And see things the way

That I see them now

I don't know what to say

I don't even know how

To ask for forgiveness

The little sheep that I am

The one who self abuses

The person I can't stand

The one who always trips

Over the same visible steps

That You placed in front of me

That stretch forever with depth

I am who You created

So I hope You're very glad

I'm following your path

Though I am very mad

This road leads to n

Keep FightingKeep fighting,
And never let go.
Just hold on a little longer.

The time has come to prove what your worth.
It's time to show them how much you care.

Keep fighting,
For what you want,
You might just get it.

Keep fighting,
Even when you feel like giving up.

Never let go, never give up,
Just keep fighting.

It's time to take control,
It's time to make it right.

Come on we can do it,
Let's do this together,
And fight for what is right.

Keep fighting,
And never let go.
Just hold on a little longer.

Cover It With InkI will not break another person in my life
Those who I have broken I will fix
I'm done with this thought that I'm nothing
Cause I'm something that no one will never be

I'm done crying myself to sleep
I will laugh at the thought
I will never pick that blade up again
Cause if I will cut something it will be paper

I will cut paper
With my pen
I will write my emotions
And I will not hide

I'm not evil
I will cut my paper
I will use my deadly weapon
I feel bad for the item I'm covering in ink

I know how it feels to be covered
I know how it feels to be cornered
I will not take any pills
This is my medication

I will learn

Letting Go of YouLetting Go of You:

You abandoned me in the past
without so much as a proper goodbye
One day you simply chose to walk out the door
and you never did come back...

I was angry then, hurting badly
I wondered if I was in some way inadequate
I wondered if you left because I am so easy to despise
and eventually my sorrow turned to anger

I wanted to become great
to show you that you made the wrong choice
to take my strength and throw it in your face
just so you would regret it

But then I saw how happy you were...

In the time we've been apart
You've made a new life for yourself
You've found someone who loves and treasures you
and upon

Immortal ButterflyImmortal Butterfly:

I remember the Immortal Butterfly
Translucent wings that drank from the sky
Glittering dust would fall with every flap
Like warm tears dripped upon my tiny back

I would always chase this butterfly
as it makes its way across the sky
When I look I feel as though I can forget
The painful needles that twist into my back

I would always dream of this butterfly
and I wonder if I could ride it and fly in the sky
When I dream about it, I don't regret
Not being able to leave this tiny bed

Sometimes I can't see the butterfly
My vision turns grey like a stormy sky
I get scared during those times, because it makes me thi

Aren't You Ashamed Yet?Aren't You Ashamed Yet?:

A Mask
Truly an object of mystique and mystery
A simple device, with a painted layer
That conceals a face of rotting worms

Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to overlook it?
Let me rephrase it in a more appropriate manner
You are a cowardly, pathetic, miserable, filthy
Unintelligent, soul-sucking, perfidious, bag of rotting worms

You who once held my respect, you who were once my friend
you shared in my secrets and you shared in my dreams
But in the end, it was the lies
The horrible, filthy lies that spew forth from your tainted lips...

I guess it was a simple decision
I had no need to keep up this facade

Self-InflictedSelf-Inflicted

I just hate myself.
  I hate the life that I lead.
    I hate the things that I've done.
      I keep trying to figure out.

       Where it is exactly that I went wrong.
    No matter how hard I try to evade
  And blame others for my actions.
At some point I am forced to accept.

  That the problem resides within me
    And the answer remains absent.
      I am the common dominator.

The Girl Next Door"The Girl Next Door"

There's this girl I know who lives next door

Maybe seventeen if not eighteen years old

And everyday I see her pray for change

Staring out her window with nothing new to say

She's perfect some suggest in every way

Beautiful looks, kind heart, excellent grades

But everyday she still prays for change

Because every night is always the same

She sits on her bed and plays guitar

While her parents for hours lecture her

She took a job after school to help pass days

But even that can't alleviate inborn pain

But what she was mad at, I couldn't tell

Often from my window I'd see her yell

Yet this perfect prom queen rule

Leave me alone with my thoughts
Leave me alone with my soul
Give me space to find my road
To find my love
If there is a love at all

Dream walker
Give me a beautiful dream
Take nightmares from me
Show me the way and lead me tonight
Rush through the darkness for light

Say what I am
Say what you are
Tell me why we're apart
Take me to stars
I'm out of my mind

Bring joy to my heart
Before I'm completely done

All I have isn't real
I'm not able to see
Not able to believe
Not able to live

Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down

SilenceThey say speaking is silver and silence is gold,
In some cases it might be true.
But there is also a truth that goes untold,
Even if it might be quite blue.

Silence is sometimes bad,
Not always so don't get upset.
Some things that are evil can make us go mad,
Some things that are even a threat.

Even if your enemies will make your blood boil,
The silence of your friends will be what hurts you more.
Words might hurt us, but silence can torment us.

Why these changes to the lives of strangers?

Falling from reality into a life of danger

Deranged fantasies strike those who understand

Life never goes according to our plans

You exposed the darkest component of me

Turning me into someone I could never be

With a stare as piercing as the eyes you see

You have forever helped in setting my soul free

So with the clothes on my back and a sack full of gold

I travel onward to wander through the cold

Unhinging my feet which were nailed to the floor

Searching through this world for something more

I wander and ponder what I am looking for

Have I waited too damn long?

These circumstances killed my chances to belong

And as I sing the words to a sorrowful song

It turns out in the end I was wrong

For every up there is a down

All the leaves turn from green to brown

And while those dress up in their gowns and crowns

I've eliminated those who make me frown

I've reflected on this long, dark, hilly year

Pounding down bottle after bottle of beer

The sicker I get the quicker I'll disappear

Letting go of all my thoughts, worries, and fears

In hindsight I've learned more than what I know

At the expense of souls who sadly had to go

And truth behold I have

On the western coast of a sparkling city

With sights to boast that are more than pretty

Are lives dancing wildly in once vacated streets

Underneath fireworks with ashes at their feet

Many lives are lost with all the blood they lose

With every single smoke and every cup of booze

The revolution of the skies are resting on the shores

Unlocking doors leading to more and more wars

In the southern lands composed of sand

Where the arid heat beats down on strips and strands

The hunter shoots the hunted and calls it his game

And leaves a bloody trail of evidence forging their names

The sunset looms as the cattle is driven a

Where does one wander when there is nowhere left to go?

And the shelter he took in a comforting heart wanders to and fro

I could bleed enough to fill this page just so you could know

But what is the point of pain when my heart has already broke

After a year of love I have returned to this seat

With lament and confusion as my heart skips a beat

Loved and rejected my life turns to shambles

This is what happens for rolling dice on a gamble

For once one drinks from waters so deep

He can never return from honey so sweet

During a brief moment of clarity I take a breath and pause

Perhaps love is an illusion or just a fleetin

This ship has made its final sail

Across this lonesome bay

This ship has the lost the will to prevail

Who of course would not obey

This creature's teeth have left their mark

In wood which has now decayed

This ship has taken the mightiest blows

Leaving holes in its interior

Gunfire and cannonballs from all his foes

Made this ship feel inferior

The crew has abandoned ship

They've batten down the hatches

This mighty boat is beginning to tip

While the interior detaches

Even the captain walked the plank

Jumping into waters so deep

Then give me reason to believe

Pretending to grab your wrist

Because I worked and slaved like hell

Nailed here like a sinner on his cross

Dying for your sins never well

With a crown of thorns made of moss

My hands run red with nasty scars

From trying to live up to your dreams

And though so close I fell so far

Because you are more disturbed than it seemed

Though I do not believe in a lost cause

Am I Alive?

by =BleedTheDream180, Sep 12, 2012, 2:35:06 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

"Am I Alive?"

They tell me I am a human being

Alive and possessing a mind, heart, and feelings

So why no matter how hard I try

I can not help but feel dead inside?

Always wishing I could undo the past

Always wishing for my happiness to last

To this day my heart keeps beating

Despite the pain which is never receding

Every morning I contemplate what lies before me

Every night I contemplate death and all its glory

And as I stare into empty spaces

I see the images of familiar faces

If the answer to my pain is to leave them alone

And to vanish into the great unknown

Then in my grave I shall rest with stains

From the violence and the pain

A wasted life tragically torn in two

I hold the secrets to a life no one really knew

The mistaken identity I put on display

Is reflected in the emotions that have changed

For I was once a boy as happy as can be

But that image is sadly a distant memory

I could go on retelling what I detest

But I believe the time has come to put this poem to rest

To those who read this please do not fear

I can not vanish nor disappear

I truly believe I was born on this earth

To make others happy while I suffer since birth

Because it was never about what I desire

As if my eyes have already retired

And when I am dead and gone

I know all life will carry on

But to this day my heart keeps beating

Despite the pain which is never receding

A lovely poem you have written here... it's sad, but lovely. I agree with making others happy even when you're suffering; I think that brings its own rewards.
