Right, slam poem time. Here we go. "Math Class."

Math Class

2:00 PM
On a Wednesday afternoon
Equals math class

Boring stuff, boring teacher
Boring homework I did already
Boring friends, boring room
All I can do is think

Today’s subject is you
Not the graphs on the whiteboard
But I’m bored
So I think of you in white

Even though black leather jackets suit you much better
So do motorcycles and sunglasses
Hugs and crazy friends

Love from afar
That’s where my mind is
My hands in your hair
My head on your chest
The scent of your cologne
Sticking in the back of my throat
So I can’t breathe
And it’s heaven

Love from afar
Yeah, that’s where my mind is
Until the teacher says,
“Pay attention”
And turns back to the whiteboard
And talks about square roots

But you are my square
Because you times me equals us squared
And you are also my root
Grounding me, bringing me back
When I am too far gone

And the Fibonacci sequence
Is so clear in those dozen red roses
And you are my reflection
Across the x-axis of that graph

So let me go on a tangent:
If it’s a sine to love you
I don’t want to be your opposite
I’d rather be your adjacent
Because you will never be
My secant choice

And function f may not equal function g
But function you, it equals function me
And I can’t function without you

Fractions are easy
Two halves make a whole
And you are the better half
The stronger half
The half with the humor and wit
To make everything seem okay
Even when I think it’s the end of the world

And it is the end of the world
Because my teacher has caught me daydreaming
And my parents will be appalled
When they see my grades
But mushroom clouds and fire
Report cards and college
Don’t have anything on me

Because it’s 2:00 PM
On a Wednesday afternoon
I’m sitting here in math class
And I’m dreaming of you

Freedom of the Whale

Deeper down in the seas
Hidden, a mystery
The waves from beneath
Giving away, a soft scene

Majestic as it seems
The seas hold mysteries
Darker than night skies, brighter than daytime
Hidden away a treasure long to be seen

The waters lure you in
The waves invite you
To come and explore, to come and see more
Of what the seas have to offer

Lost inside a paradise,
Turning left or turning right,
All you see will be bodies of water.

Don’t worry you’re not alone,
Fishes swim around and roam,
Keep your mind at peace and move along.

Falling fast asleep, the time has come
For you and the seas to become one
Don’t worry now child, it’s not a dream
Reality is as it seems

Allow me to guide you through the seas
To show you the paradise that’s beneath
Delighted heart, encouraged soul
The spirits deep down will hear your call

Beautiful as it seems
The seas hold mysteries
Hard to comprehend, no need for amens
The waters’ blessings are to be sent

Lost inside a paradise,
Shining bright yet lost of light,
You will see the beauty with your mind, not your eyes.

Keep your mind one with the sea,
No matter who you may be,
You’ll become a “Spirit of the Sea”

Drowning deeper down, into the sea
Yet still alive and moving consciously
Your body has died, but your spirit’s alive
Forever roaming deep beneath
.
.
.
You’re one with the sea, how lucky you are
For people don’t often come as far
The spirits of theirs, would end up on
The shores, the brims, then casted along

Now look around, what do you see?
The waters, the fishes, they’re family
You’re one of us, please come along
The freedom’s ours and ours alone

Stay for a while, we’ll take care of you,
Until your freedom’s lost its truth.

((INDEED IT DOES))

The Little Red and The Draconic Blue
(By SeLosMeMos, Altrince, & IriDes)

It began as just an accident,
The scene of you and me.
But the feeling that I have inside,
It just wants me to scream.

And it fills my heart with sadness,
That I can’t keep close to you.
‘Cause you’re the little riding hood,
While I’m the saddened blue.

From afar,
You will see.
The tears inside,
Inside of me.

And I know,
Fate won’t let us be…
Together at all.

You’re the beauty while I am the chaos
You are the angel while I’m the devil
We are too different, we were an accident
Our “meeting” would only symbol the end

How to get close to you? How can I love you?
How cruel could fate decided us two?
Ah, why am I born to be? Why are you born to be?
The red riding hood and the draconic blue?

Time gone by and why am I
Still dwelling on that scene?
Your smile, your grin, your innocence,
Is that what I need?

I call to you,
Hoping you’ll hear,
The feelings I
Have kept so dear.

Could it be…
You’re here with me?
From the start, I didn’t know how we would be…

“Will you marry me…?”
.
.
.
And you laughed, and then you smiled,
The smallest voice with the softest answer.
You made me so happy, you got so cheery
As you gently put the ring on your finger.

I will protect you, and I will fight for you.
A promise I’ll make and I will make true.
‘Cause the stories are wrong, because I knew all along
That in the end, I was destined to fall for you.

That I can live again, if at least it’s with you.

(Unedited)
my Sadness
is a snake
my mind
is a mouse.
quiet
quick
and weak
is no match for
quiet
quick
and strong.
it hisses a warning
i won’t listen to
and then it wraps around my mind
squeezing
suffocating
killing
its fangs strike my wrist
and drag
long
straight
stripes
of blood and tears.
this is my nature
my growth
my life.

Am I in Love or Am I Stupid?
(I know the rhyme scheme is all over the place, just work with me here)

Sometimes I feel like
You’re spinning me in circles
Sometimes I like that
You help me, save me
When I’m hurting.
When I’m scared.

Sometimes all that I need
Is someone to help me be found
When I’ve never felt so lost.
I’m falling, I’m falling
But somehow
I feel like I’m flying.

I’m kicking, and screaming
Just pulled from my dreaming
Until you take my hand
And guide me through the dark
Until I feel a spark
I don’t wanna know if it’s not real.

Cause maybe
You’ll save me
Again for
A taste of
That feeling
Once more.

Sell me some more dreams
And forget to tell me
It’s falling apart at the seams.
I don’t wanna wake up, don’t shake me
I’m tearing apart and
You’ll break me.

I’m falling, falling now
I’m sure you’ll save me,
But right now don’t ask me how.
I’m starting to fall asleep…
I don't want you to go yet,
'Cause the silence takes me down deep.

I wear a mask
while I'm with you
so you don't see
what lies beneath
the constant worries
and horrible memories
the things I can never say
and the tears I can never show
the overwhelming numbness
my sadness now brings
all make up the person
you can never see

365 Days of Miracles

If today’s the last day of my life,
And if tomorrow won’t ever come to me.
All these ordinary days I’ve piled up,
Have I treasured them as they should be?

Now that I look back,
I don’t think I have said enough
To those who’ve made me who I am today.

It’s a bit embarrassing,
To say this with my own voice
So I guess I’ll let this poem convey…

When I fall, time and time again,
You said “It’ll be fine”
“We’re here for you always”
“I’m right here by your side”

Whenever I needed to cry,
I know that you will be near.
“Thank you”
I want to you this now and here.

The more you laugh, the more happiness you’ll have
The more you cry, the more stories you have to tell
You kindly welcome me, to a world of life and reality
365 days gone by like fantasy

Saved by your smile, and countless times by your smallest laughs
Another day has passed, in a calendar that’s not counting time
And even though there’s no anniversary, today’s no special at all
It’s still great that you are here and alive

It’s still great that you’re here living your life.

The more you laugh, the more happiness you can give
The more you cry, the more stories you can tell to pass time
When you kindly welcomed me, to this world of life and fantasy
365 days went by with us here laughing all the time

Saved by your smile, and countless times by your smallest laughs
Another day has passed, and yet the calendar still hasn’t moved a day
And even though today’s not special, no anniversary, none at all
I would like to thank you all for today.

You all have made me smile to this day.

(I've finally managed to pull my head out of a bad place with poetry. So I'm going to try again.)

Mr. Prison Guard

You know, my brain used to be
my great escape. It's funny
how it's just a cage.
The rattling is more than I can take.

Please tell me what you're
trying to be. Do want to be
the life or death of me.
Because in one of these you won't succeed.

I'm getting weaker with every day.
My soul's wearing down, it's
going to decay. You're breaking
into fragile pieces but still say that I'm okay.

I just want to fix this. Will you
please stop yelling? My heart
is pounding and my tears are welling.
It's getting hard for me to move on to another day.

You hold me by my fragile throat.
I soon began to kick and choke.
You say it should just be a rope.
But you won't be right. No, not today.

I'll keep walking on my own two feet
until you see I need you just as
you need me. You'll see I'm not the enemy.
I'm not the criminal that you're painting me out to be.

So, Mr. Prison Guard, won't you let me
out of my cage? Let me go outside
and actually see that light of day.
Not the fluorescent lights that you only shine in my face.

I know that you'll come around someday.
You'll set me free and everything'll be okay.
I'll have a smile waiting just for you on
my first day. We can work together and tomorrow…

Tomorrow will be a good day.

I uh
I have something-

It's sort of lyrics but also a poem???

ya can go ahead an' post it, i'm pretty sure
'n if you're still unsure, the virtual writing club accepts pretty much anything writing-related

Aaaa thank you-
This is really personal to me and hits home. It's not done-

I think all these problems are
Gonna make me go insane,
All these foreign people tryna
See inside my brain,
Blaming mental illness but
Not tryna take the blame,
Acting like they didn't hurt me,
like they didn't cause me pain.

When I turned two my father left,
I guess he didn't want me
I looked too much like my mother
And his abandonment still haunts me
To this day
Things won't change,
He'll never change…

I learned my lesson easily
Turns out it wasn't me
He was just a coward
Acting like it was all she
It wasn't her,
Not my Mother..

But then shit got rough
I started throwing up
And losing weight
My grandparents blew it off,
They said "There was no fuckin' way",
They said it was the medication fucking with my system,
That night I started writing to my parents that I missed 'em.

A couple years went by and
I had started getting help
But by the time I turned 14
Everything just went to hell,
I met this girl and fell in love
And she was 4 years older,
She left a scar on my left thigh
And my heart's a little colder.

She broke my trust, she broke my heart,
She broke my will to live.
I fell silent when the memories came back
And told me what she did.
What'd I let her do…
Oh no..

I blamed myself, I couldn't tell
What was wrong with my heart,
I started leaving tiger stripes
Up and down my arms.
I couldn't tell my family,
They wouldn't understand
They'd act like something's wrong with me,
Like I was being bad..

(I did a thing. I don’t know how good it is but I did a thing.)

Soulmate

You’re all that I,
Dreamed about and you’re all that I desire.
You mean my life, you are the light,
In the skies, when the night won’t pass by.

You are my heart,
You are all that I need, my missing half.
How lucky that I, fell for your smile.
And that I, have you here.

There is only you making me feel this tingling inside of my heart.
There is only you who I don’t want to be there apart, without you.

You are the light, you’re the star to my sky.
In the darkest of nights, I will hold your hands tight.
And that I will love you until my life will reach its time.
In my heart, all I see is your smile.

Your love is true,
And I swear that I’ll be here for you.
Like the skies did decide, to have you by my side.
For us to walk down this path side by side.

There is only you who I want to take care of for the rest of my life.
There is only you who I can’t seem to get out of mind, but it’s fine.

Since, you are my light, you’re the star to my sky.
In the darkest of nights, I will hold your hands tight.
And that I will love you until my life will reach its time.
In my heart, all I see is—

There’s only you in my heart, in my mind.
‘Til the end of our time, I’ll be here by your side.
And that I will love you regardless the place or the time.
In my heart, all I see is your smile.

In times, when life just won’t be so kind.
For the better or worse, we’ll be fine.
If in the end, we’re still here side by side.
I’ll be near, won’t be far.
I’ll look after you, wherever you are…

…

You are my life, you’re my brightest of stars.
In the darkest of nights, I’ll be right where you are.
And that I’ll love you until life takes us both apart.
Until then I will promise—

You are my life, you’re my love, my joy and pride.
You’re all that I need, so I’ll be by your side.
And that I’ll be there no matter the place or the time.
In my heart, all I see…
All I need…
Is your smile…

That's beautiful Altrince.

Oh my gosh @Altrince_and_His_Cult_Members That's so good!

Invisible Man

Hey there,
I'm scratchin' this from the back of my heart
Even if I'm sad, confused, and don't
know where to start, I'll get there. Let's start with 'who'.

I'm just a lonely boy
Who the world can't understand. They don't know why
I pass out when somebody holds my hand.
I'm just being "overdramatic".

I can't get up, I cannot breathe, I hear thoughts
that I can't take. I move on with the feeling
that waking up was a mistake.
I do not belong here.

I don't fit here, I don't fit there,
I don't fit anywhere. I keep on waving
But I'm the Invisible Man.
Nobody sees me.

Enough with me, nobody cares,
let's move one to 'what'. The reason
that I'm writing this up.
This crappy "letter".

I'm here because I want to say goodbye
to you. You've made me smile now,
I want to bid a sweet adieu.
Farewell, my friend.

I'm playing my vacation high up
to the dark blue skies.
I know, I know, what a pleasant surprise.
Well, that doesn't matter lemme tell you 'where'.

I'm sitting in my bedroom looking out at the stars.
I know the pain will be over soon. It just takes one step.
Everything looks so much prettier in the light of the moon.
I wonder who will find me here. And here's 'when'.

I'm leaving tonight, I've got a one-way ticket.
And my flight's coming up. I can't afford to miss it.
If I miss it, I'll just go to the Challenger Deep with the worst of luck.
No one will follow me there. Now let's get to 'why'.

There's a million reason why, so we'd be here forever.
But there're a few I want to know. Time to share.
My mom left me young and my dad just abused me.
I've got words to say and no one in the world believes me.

I'm not who I want to be, I'm fading fast.
My little splashes of happiness never last.
I can't escape. I'm in a cage.
And nobody sees me.

I hate myself in ways that no one else here understands.
Got my emotions all crushed with my right hand.
I'm in love and I'm too cowardly to say it.
So I run away and now I leave. I won't have to face it anymore.

So, run children. Leave a fast as you can.
Don't catch the curse of the Invisible Man.
Don't scream and point as he drowns.
Something in the water just flopping around.

No one can save him now.
