    The Battle 


    I’ve won the battle
    I’ve won the whole war
    You thought you would have me
    Every ounce
    But today you have nothing
    Empty and with no purpose
    You saught for my soul
    And have came out with nothing

    I’ve become stronger
    I’ve overcomed adversity
    Something you didn’t plan on
    Hell, I didn’t either
    Here..we..are
    Trading places

    Like usher says,
    “Tonight you are on top
    and tonight I’m on the bottom”
    On the bottom you will remain
    Wondering why?
    Screaming why?
    Like I once was

    Today I’ll be moving
    Right along
    Over this
    and
    Certainly over you

    Pretend 


    I pretend I’m okay

    I pretend that my world is the same

    I pretend I’m alive

    I pretend to survice

    I pretend not to care

    I pretend that you’re there

    I pretend to have no fears

    I pretend to be you

    I pretend to have a clue

    I pretend not to miss how I loved

    I wish I never budged

    Maybe then I wouldn’t be sitting here

    Pretending

    Instead surrendering

    To what use to be

     

    *Today I guess it was repetition day :) …this poem is for some one special–hope you like it <3

      It’s good to see you let the feelings out in words, keep at it your gift.

    I miss the way  I could lay my head on the clouds

    And forget about the world

    I miss the night cool breeze

    That gently swayed me to sleep

    I miss the sunlight that warmed my face

    I miss the rain drops that caress my curves as they fall

    I miss the dance of the leaves by my feet

    I miss the smell of freshly cut grass

    I miss it all

    I miss sanity

    Abstract 


    If you try to find me

    You have to go deep

    Deep within yourself

    Deeper outside the box

    I’m not ordinary

    I’m not easily found

    Don’t confuse me with a puzzle

    Where the pieces all seem to match

    Mines are ever changing;

    With the blink of an eye

    They are sometimes hard to catch

     

    I’m abstract art

    Placed in a dull room

    You either see me

    And can make some sense of it all

    Rigidness to smoothness

    Curves to plateaus

    Or you simply can’t and move on

    Because your mind is closed

     

    I’m  not like you

    At times I’m nothing like me

    I have no definition

    Because I’m yet to be set free

     

    If you are lucky enough to find me

    Don’t sell me out

    Instead hide with me

    Or I will leave with all the pieces of  you

    Hound Dogs 


    Hound dogs clawing at the walls in my mind

    Trying to unleash

    My hidden thoughts

    Things that don’t make sense

    Things that should be confined

    Perversion, cruelty, deceit,

    Evil doings,

    Simply sick contraptions

     

    The hounds never seem to let up

    Their claws go deeper

    Their vicious growl goes louder

    The walls are weak

    They crumble beneath their paws

     

    Set free

    To wreak havoc

    In an already unstable mind

     

    They hunt,

    They prey

    For the next spot of weakness

    Until there is nothing more to devour

    Until the emptiness

    Swallows me

    Thaw 


    The way he says my name

    Makes me smile

    Makes my emotions inflame

     

    The way he shows he care

    Makes me have hope

    That I can be repaired

     

    The way he compliments my every flaw

    Makes me want to dive right into his arms

    And thaw

     

    Thaw, the coldness around my heart

    That no one has ever attained

    It requires some kind of art

    Some kind of persistence

    It takes his good heart

     

    This is my entry for Thursday Poets Rally Week 35

    • SeaGlass 1:13 pm on December 19, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      There’s a lot being said here, and it’s a brave move to share poetry with other people. What I’d suggest is concentrating on really distilling what you’re saying and trying to work out why your experience of these feelings or emotions is unique to you- why, in effect, is your experience special or different? The goal in poetry should be to reveal something new about human experience. You might consider looking at this subject from the perspective of someone completely different from yourself- someone of the opposite sex, a different cultural background, a different species, even! It’s worth experimenting a little and finding something new and unique to tell other people. Good luck and happy writing!

    Poetry potluck wk 14- Writing 


    I write to set free emotions

    To remember the tears

    And to somehow forget the commotions

     

    Writing is my therapy, my sanity

    The words that come out of me have a yearning to live

    They have their own vanity

     

    These words come to life

    As soon as they hit the air

    Cutting through like a knife

     

    These words are me

    Who I am

    They are merely the debris of my heart

    Potluck week 13- Escape 


    In my dream

    Life is sweet

    Sweet as this butterscotch ice cream

    People are eccentric just like me

    Not hypocrites or judgmental

    Going about their life carefree

    There is laughter

    There is  love

    Nothing looks bad hereafter

    I wish I could live in my dreams

    Today, Tonight, Tomorrow

    I’m tired of the same regimes

    I need an escape from this place

    I need an escape to survive

    I want to live in my dreams, where I can decide the pace

    Where I can change it all in an instant

    Let’s escape to this imaginary place

    My dreams

     

    This is my entry for the Potluck week 13 on Jingle Poetry

    Guest Blogger- Sarai 


    Whose To Blame?

     

    Some part of me wants to blame You for allowing me to fall for him.

    Part of me wants to ask You why You let my emotions get so deeply involved.

    I want to cry out and ask why You let me love him so much when he could care less about me.

    Why did You let him kiss me? Why did You allow him to touch me?

    Some part of me wants to ask why didn’t You protect my heart better.

     

    You helped me keep my ground when it came to others.

    You helped me wait for over five years

    But he came along and effortlessly had everything I held back on for so long.

     

    I want to ask You why was it so easy for me to fall for him.

    Why did You allow me to fall for someone who would only hurt me?

    Someone who doesn’t even want to be friends.

    I wonder  why you didn’t you make me stronger when it came to him.

     

    I want to blame You for this heartache I’m feeling

    But in reality it was all my fault.

    I let him kiss me. I wanted him to.

    I let him use me.

    I let him come and go as he pleased.

    I knew there were others he paid more attention to.

    I knew he wasn’t giving me what I deserved

    But I stayed.

     

    I wish I could blame him. I sometimes want to blame You

    But it was me all along.

    I am to blame.
