POEMS post 'em here my friends!

Untitled

I don’t like circles because they never ever end
Everyone is lonely even if they have a friend.
I like the dark but I really hate the rain
You can get addicted to a certain kind of pain.

Stars in her eyes, dirt on her face
She doesn’t know the reason why life has to be a race.
Doodles on paper, doodles on signs
And never ever thinking inside of the lines.

Staring through a window, looking out or looking in?
Mice running in circles, round and round again.
This poem might make sense to you, or it might be strange.
My mind is always scattered, but some things never change.

Sirens sing their melody, tell me what you hear
A place without sadness, a place without fear.
Roses, once white, are now colored red
All flowers eventually will wind up dead.

Colorful hands will make colorful words
Assimilating hands will make songs like birds.
I didn’t always want to just stay asleep
But what if Azrael doesn’t come when I leap?

I’m sorry for talking in roundabout ways
No one really understands me these days.
Even if my erratic thoughts never do align,
Somewhere heaven does exist, someday we’ll be fine.

It's a lovely poem. The rhythm is relatively consistent and I can kind of relate to the words of it. Also, it had a nice rhyme scheme. Though some of it confused me, I think that that makes it all the better. The curiosity sparked from it makes me love it even more. Please do explain "But what if Azreal doesn't come when I leap?" though. I'm honestly really curious about that, lol. :)

“But what if Azreal doesn’t come when I leap?”
-Azreal is another name for the grim reaper or death
-However, it also means ‘helper of God’ or ‘God’s assistance’
-It’s basically a really dark way of saying “what if I go all out with something and it doesn’t work out?”

Okay. Thanks. That's a really great line.

He's still here
(How you're locked away!)
His scent still in my nose, It's been almost a year now
(Why won't you go away)
Please go away, haven't you done enough
I can feel his touch unwelcome on my skin,
(How did you get out!)
His fingers brush across face and it leaves me breathless
This can't be happening again,
(dammit just go away)
No god no the fear I can feel it creeping back up
wrapping its hands around my heart once again paralyzing me….
NO!
Leave her alone you don't get to hurt her again ok,
(Someone come get him! please!)
ok hit me I'll tell them I fell again touch me I'm stronger then her
I can take it but not her god's no
not her….
(I couldn't protect her the first time)
I can't fail her again,
I won't fail her again.

Great job. Brought tears to my eyes.

From Me to You

I talk.
You listen.

I joke.
You laugh.

I fail.
You comfort.

I know nothing about you.
You know everything about me.
If only I could stop this one-way trip
Of just Me to You.

You talk.
I talk over you.

You joke.
I ignore you.

You fail.
I play the victim.

You know everything about me.
I still know nothing about you.
If only I could stop and listen,
Make this cycle of Me to You go away.

I run.
You tell me to stop.

I didn’t look.
You called an ambulance.

I ran into a car.
You were the first to tell me.

You know everything about me.
I am getting to know you.
If I just learn to slow down,
Then maybe this relationship won’t just be
From Me to You.

What book is this? I think I know.
The person is quite happy so.
Full of mystery, what is it though?
I see him smile, I say hello.

I give the book a shake,
And wonder until my belly aches.
The only other sound’s the break,
Of distant chatter and people awake

This book is wonderful, lengthy and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
So after goodbye and not to weep,
Sweet words lull my head to sleep

Arising from the gentle bed,
With thoughts of stories in my head,
I sneak around with a book instead,
And avoiding the folk, lied why I fled

~
Oh my father
He’s empty but kind
With two sad eyes
And hollow cheeks
When he smiles I feel alive

~
I so love my girl,
But she is lonely and sad
She has empty eyes
And salty tears
When she cries I feel broken

~
Roses
Scentless, dead
Wilting, crumbling, falling
Such feelings of pain

See the arrogant man,
He thinks his life’s quite bland

He finds it hard to see the light,
At the end of this lifelong fight

Who is that laughing at the stage?
She finds it hard to escape this cage

She is but a showlady,
Admired as she wears the kady

Her soft smile is just a look,
It needs no cue, happiness it took

She is not alone she brings the rain,
A broken soul, and pain

The soul wants to chase after he,
Especially the one who holds the key

The woman shudders at his warm smile,
He wants her heart, but words she cannot compile

~

Somber break of day
A soft, sad heart crying
After the only friend

I have to be tough
But what if I’m not
I’m small
I’m disabled
I’m a girl
I’m scared to be kidnapped
So many guys I know
don’t know sex trafficking
But all the girls do
Because we’re afraid
But we can’t show it
Because we don’t want to be picked
To be labeled as vulnerable
To be stolen
Even when my the ground
Under my feet feels like nails
I keep walking
I don’t limp
Because I must stay strong
Because I must survive
Because all though this world isn’t fiction
For the girls it’s the Hunger Games
The weakest won’t survive
But we keep going
To survive
Because our problems are insignificant
It doesn’t matter
If I fail a test
If a sprain an ankle
If I drop my lunch at school
Because some children are starving
So we push through
We bite our tongues
We fight back our tears
While we cry inside

(It's a great poem, but something feels off about it. I'm not exactly sure what.)

@Nie-Huaisang-is-lost-in-the-stars

(But it's seriously good, it's a very powerful poem. I'm sure a lot of people would be able to relate to this.)

(Prob because I’m not the best at poetry)

{No, I think you're great at poetry! But I agree that something feels a bit off. It doesn't really flow, you know?}
