The Official Poetry Thread

Alright, I'm so bored right now, I'll actually post one of my older poems. I used to be pretty fucked up right then and I know this one kinda sucks... (I was like 15 when I wrote that, so that tells a lot I think... At that time my best friend just kinda didn't need me anymore from one day to the other, so that's what it's all about.) But anyway, I'm bored and this threads needs some bad poems as well :D

1999
~~~

Another senseless day
Is slowly coming to its end
In the lightsless temple
Where I worship my own despair.

I know I always think too much
When I dream away the afternoons
Lost in dreamworlds or depressions,
But those thoughts won't let me go...

Somebody told me
An imaginary friend is just a different shade of yourself.
Can it be true?
Somebody told me
That only my laughter kept her alive.
How come she's still waiting on this side of the line?
Somebody told me
We would never lose each other
And we would never be like them...
Somebody told me the others were acting stupidly.
But does she feel stupid acting like them now?

Somebody told me
He loved me and that I was pretty.
Has he ever seen my lunacy?
Somebody told me
That I wasn't schizophrenic.
I believed her until I realized that she was only my reflection.
Somebody told me
She was scared on me.
It might have been nobody but myself.
Somebody
That everything I had lived for was lost forever
And it will never be 1999 again.

I wish I could just have died in 1999.

Somebody told me this poem was nice.
Will they ever wake up?
 

SSJ4: :lol: Seph kicks ass!!! hence my yahoo ID - spehiroth_of_the_dead. if i were a dedicated enough long story writer man i would have a story to tell with that character.

time for another one from me...i wrote this a few weeks before things ended between myself and my ex...and i was inspired by the song Dilated by Atreyu. i take pride in this poem's title...:)

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE'S PAST

-------------------------------------------------------

i'm not a shining star today
thats something to try for tomorrow
misunderstood what you had to say
feels like another day of sorrow

i feel like a newborn child
helpless and alone in the world
begging for a chance to be set free
i feel like a drowning dream
pressured to an early death
perished at the hands of my creator

death's a plug or a gunshot away
i think i'll try for that tomorrow
can't convice a suicidal deaf man to stay
here's my gun for you to borrow
(shoot it)

you are just a passer-by
unimportant to the day to day
reality that spawns life to the world
i am just a fucking dream
massless and of bleak value
a tool that will be used only if it works

take - a trip into my mind
fake - a reason to believe
try - a life that must be led
cry - these wrists that have bled

i am just a dutied child
respectful and nonconforming
a watchful eye viewing my superiors
ive become the passer-by
closed off and once refused
now only infinately confused


 
This is raw expressionism. This is ME. Deal with it.

2003 made me feel some of him...
Exhumed my heart, gave it an injection and
Dropped it onto an imaginary bed
of sweet warm razors where...for a moment...
It almost felt alive again. And then nothing...

I can see it from above now
This huge white body that once was mine
And I hope it will soon be reduced to dust
Because this time I just can’t...
This time it’s forever, I just
Won ’t come back again

Cold and used and slowly turning green
This thin sensitive skin I used to suffer in
And strewn across those heaps of perishing flesh
Are strawberry gashes, the last and most beautiful
Of my numerous rashes...my scars a memory
Of my desperate need for his affection

A gust of wind as I smile in the air
Overwhelmed by this wave of relief
Rejoice with endless freedom that
Without lungs I can now breathe
One last glance at the shell I left behind
Small brown eyes through which I used to see
They now stare back at me lifelessly
So goodbye
I’ve gotta fly to the north east
For there’s someone beautiful to haunt

Nut: Wow, sista, I envy you. I wish I was as curagious as to just post something like that in here... But I just don't dare fucking up people's opinion about me. I know I'm a coward, goddamn it!

But I'll post this... Because I really hate this poem because it's just so very bad and don't know what to do with it :D

RAIN
~~~

It's just another rainy afternoon
And I dedicate this afternoon to you...
Like just so many afternoons before!
Trying to imagine just how it would be...
But no, it won't ever!
Reality grabs me by the neck
And pulls me back with its isy claws.

A rain of tears runs down my cheeks
On this rainy afternoon
And I dedicate these tears to you...
Like just so many tears before!
Trying to imagine just how I'd...
But no, I won't ever!
Reality punches its fist
Right into my face
And nearly knocks me out.


[You know what's coming, don't you?]


A rain of blood runs down my arms
On this rainy afternoon
And I dedicate my blood to you
Like so much blood before...
Trying to imagine just how it would feel like...
But no, I won't ever feel it!
Reality drowns me in the lake of my blood
And burries me with black candle wax.

:Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin: Teeeeheeeeee! really I'm NOT kissing your ass!
 
Check this shit out:

A golden throne for my love
Projections from above
Somber songs of broken hearts
What am I thinking of?
Teasing my thoughts, you’re unaware
Hypnotizing as you swish your hair
My secret’s safe, you’ll never know as much
Although I really doubt you’d care
Many moons ago a sacred vow was made
I was told my love would never be repaid
The dying words of a shattered soul
“Devotion shall never fade”
The love still beats amidst my chest
Chaotic, creating unrest
Now you see why the truth will remain
A secret desire, a whisper at best
Why must I feel a forbidden love?
What are you thinking of?
Has another come to lay claim to the one whom I gave up?
I lay here helpless, to die alone…
A dark dungeon filled with bloodstained bones will forever be my home…
 
Some more self-pity by Maili Björklund:

Do you know what it feels like
When you wanna cry, but the tears won't come?
Do you know what it feels like
When you're so alone you wanna scream?
Do you know what it feels like
To wish you would just never have existed?
Do you know what it feels like
To hate everything you love?
Do you know why what it feels like
To give your soul away
To anyone who'll accept it?
Do you know what Death feels like?
I wish I would.
