forum POEMS post 'em here my friends!

I want to be dancing
I want to take my finals
I want to make sure my college credits
Still count for this semester
Even though I wasn't there for half of it.
I want to see my guys and gays
I want to learn more, too
I want to save friends' asses when
They don't know what else to do.

When the virus stops,
Lives are saved.
But they won't ever know
How to save what's left of mine.
The next seven years of my life
Are all they care about,
But they never recognize
How much they've destroyed.

As a child,
They want me to be the perfect future,
But I can't handle the rigor
Of losing half a semester
Where we learn around four times faster
Than any normal class
Per class
Per day.

It makes me nervous to know
I'm missing the things that matter.
Not prom or sports games,
But learning how to handle the pressure
Of a fake schooling world.
I guess this is real.
(A real pain in my ass–)
Real pressure.

Paper Plane’s Memories

In a childish dream, I played along
A fragile scene, that’s where I belonged
While a broken heart may shatter
While the cries of some say suffer
I sit here, and enjoy life, like no other

Though it’s hard, I know I will push along
I will stand for love, for life, and for this song
For I know someone may cry
For I know all have to die
I will live this life the way that I desire

In this world, full of trends
I’ll remain the classic one
I will show the world that life is full of fun

If we just play along
To this world and to its song
I know that you’ll find somewhere you belong

In another time where the world was fantasy
Dreams and thoughts may become reality
All those planes you’ve watched a while
Ever since you were a child
Perhaps they were made of papers’ design

In this world, full of trends
I’ll remain the classic one
I will show you all that art is full of fun

String the words you keep inside
Paint the colors you desire
Give some light to the words, to the colors of your life

Let the paper plane take you through the night

Let your thoughts take you to…
A world you designed…

(That just gave me the confidence to post this one—)

Centuries On End

You know when this broken heart of mine,
Has finally stopped beating this time
In this life that we both designed,
I’m sure I’ve enjoyed everything in this life

The day I found and fell for you,
My heart kept screaming that it’s true
The feeling that I never knew
Existed deep inside just to wait for you

And all my lifetime,
I’ve searched left and far right
To look for someone
Who might just be “my life”

And after such times,
I’ve finally found you
Now, do you know?
Could you know?

My repeating heartbeats, they keep telling the truth
That this love of ours is true, even if we’re still in our youth
I will never leave you, just you trust me ‘til the end
We will be together now, from now to centuries on end

You know that this heart of mine,
Beats rapidly all the time
Whenever you come to mind,
Or just the memories of you that come to life

But soon I know I cannot stay,
With you until you’re old and gray,
I’ll have to leave you here astray,
Until then I’ll make you smile day by day

Again, and once more,
My heart screams “I love you”
And more than before
I want to stay with you

A love desired
I found and kept closer
To my heart
To my soul

My unstopping heartbeats, keep on telling me it’s true
That the feeling that I have, is the love I have for you
There’s no reason for it, as our story turns the page
The fact that we’re happy now, that will never ever change

My repeating heartbeats, they keep telling the truth
That this love of ours is true, even if we’re still in our youth
I will never leave you, just you trust me ‘til the end
We will be together now, from now to centuries on end

We will be together now, until my life comes to an end…

Untitled (More shitty rambling, y'all :)))) )

Whispers danced between my lips
wishing to be louder. Louder for
the ones with no voice. For those
lost who have felt the same.

Tears burned behind my eyes
wishing to fall. To fall
and remove some of the
weight on me. Drop by drop.

The echoes of memories left
behind and words long faded
had come back as knives on my
arms. Their edges all serrated.

They began to engrave names on skin,
ones meant to be forgotten. I had to
wear long sleeves again. Just to
keep me from calling them.

I had so much to say to them, but I
could never build courage. I always
kept quiet. Thinking about what would've
happened, if I had only let it out.

So now I sit in a cage of echoes
in my mind. In a world of things
broken. I sit on a throne of broken
hearts and fantasies in my head.

I sit and think of how I could have changed the world
With all of these things left unsaid.

Am I safe?
Not even a little.
Are you going to hurt me?
You'll know if I am.
Are you evil?
Nothing is evil, only backwards.
Can I hurt you?
In every possible way.
Where are we?
Where ever you think we are.
Can I leave?
Never.

A sweet voice sings to me.
I feel as though I know it, but I swear I don't.
It's buried too deep in some memory.

My mind splits in pieces
Drowning me in the things I don't want to remember
Settling broken memories into all the creases.

All the things I did, I don't remember
I swear, guys, I'm not guilty
I don't remember much past last December.

When did I learn how to braid my hair?
When did I ever get this shirt?
I can't remember anything without you there.

You've always been the answer, you're the key.
I know you don't remember me kindly,
But your voice is singing to me.

(idk i just got inspired all of a sudden)

Some say
The war never ended
Some say
There was never a war
But still
There is one thing
And it is undeniable
Lie or truth,
The scars created
The memories made
The lives taken
And the injuries left,
They are the remnants,
Proof that a war did happen
A war,
Waged between the People

People are strange.
We take flowers from their ground
Because they’re pretty.
And so they die.
We’ll even put them by gravestones,
To die with the other dead.
It’s like we can’t help it
Killing everything faster
Because we know we are dying, too.
And instead of living life in the moment
Like everything else does,
We zoom way out until
Nothing has a purpose anymore.
We’re stuck in a circle, a sphere,
Of life and killing and death,
But they’re wrong, those people.
There is something worse than dying,
It’s watching everything else die around you
And eternity moves and changes around you
Because it will change and it won’t stop.
The only thing worse than dying
Is staying alive forever.

(This is really bad and I apologize to everyone in advance.)

You caught my eye in the hall,
the blue a dull gray like the wall.
I could do nothing but watch,
while you burned out like a match.
The bruising was getting more noticeable,
you would smile and say that it was nothing at all.
Your kind heart always trying to help,
I could never imagine how it felt.
Standing up for others and never yourself,
you never backed down no matter the punishment delt.
I could scream for it to stop,
but it was always for not.
There was nothing for me to do,
aside from wait for them to be through.
Their laughs, as they left, would echo,
while I would slip to your side like a shadow.
I didn't know why you decided me,
when you could have ignored me and been free.
Free of their unrelenting strikes,
which carried with them malice and might.
You cared for the me, and I couldn't understand why,
Always getting hurt and telling me not to cry.
Reassuring me that you would be fine,
and that one day they would know the line.
One day I'd had enough,
and I stepped into the rough.
The punch across my cheek was a shock,
but I refused to fall onto the hard rock.
In that moment I found out why,
why you cared for the girl with one eye.
Because it is easy to hurt,
it is hard to heal the heart.
You never did things easy,
because you liked me.
You saw beauty,
where others saw a chance for cruelty.
We may never know when this will end,
but I have to thank you for being more than a friend.
Though you have gone,
I know it is not for long.
So until we meet again,
Farewell.

Nighty Night

While I drown inside the thoughts in my mind
I see a light dazzling and bright
To reach out my hand, to feel its warmth
I was met with your smile up forth

And the light that shines, reflects on itself
The petals with dewdrops collide
They then form a scene, so nice for the eyes
I stared, with peace, and smiled

Though anxiety’s haunting,
Though depression’s deep inside,
I’ll just close my eyes and pretend I’m alright

I welcome you
To my nocturnal paradise
Where my thoughts could roam free
Where some come to life

When the sun may rise
And dawns a new day
You’ll soon be awake
To find that your heart’s replaced

The scarlet of the sun may be framed in your mind
As it melts with the calm of twilight
And the melodies of the stars that shine
These will fill up your mind, at night

Loneliness in the rain,
Suicidal thoughts give such pain,
I’ll just close my eyes and pretend I’m okay

And welcome back
To my nocturnal paradise
Where dark thoughts would fly
Where my love comes alive

And though, it’s dark
I can see crystal clear
Through the shadows inside
Through the haunting thoughts in my mind
.
.
.
Goodbye for now
My nocturnal paradise
I’ve relied on you for too long
Now I’ll pretend that you’re gone

I’ll have, to leave,
You here all alone
For the world calls for me
For the morning arrived it seems…

But you’ll continue to live inside
Until the end of this life of mine.

keyboard smash I love it! Though I do have a question.

I've relied you for too long

Is that supposed to be worded like that? Or was that a mistake? For I feel as though it should be "I've relied [on/upon] you for too long". Maybe I'm just crazy and tired. Idk

Yes… that was a mistake XD Thank you for pointing that out

You're welcome. :D

Untitled(At this point idek why I both putting that it's untitled. Most of my poems never have a title)

A tree once so beautiful,
uprooted and taken for granted.
It's always been there for you
yet you leave it to the side damaged.
Its branches were always there
to hold your hand when no one
else would. It gave its fruit
when no other tree could.
You always had your hands
tangled in its leaves. Now
you don't even give a kiss
goodbye as you leave.
Instead, you just watch it
fall. How amusing it looks
when it's dead, right?
You laugh so loud that
you can't even hear its cries.
You don't hear it say 'I love you'.
You don't hear it say 'goodbye'.
It died with the secrets you gave.
It never told a single soul.
You didn't even seem to cave
when its fruit began to mold.
You walked all over it.
Its trunk a bridge to your joy.
All your friends scolded you,
they said you shouldn't treat
it that way. But you just scoffed
and dismissed them. Saying
"Whatever, it's dead anyway."

(Tadaa! Useless jabber that's most likely not even good! :D )

I love that one actually! Your style is very something, I’ll give you that for sure.

Thanks, I don't think this is my best work (though they're all somewhere around this bad), I'm pretty much just losing my mind lately lol

Okay so maybe a bit of a word challenge thing, but I wrote down all my favorite "ing"s to use (smiling, slamming, fading, etc.) and my favorite "ly"s (lovely, lately, freely, etc.) and other words I really like to use in my poetry (backwards, gentle, bold, etc.) and I don't know what I'm going to do with it??
Maybe I'll make a poem where I don't use any of them or all of them or something? But now I know the words I think of first.
