So i posted in the love/relationship forum, but thought i'd ought to start a new topic here. hope you guys like them. This first poem is actually one of my favorites. I'm a type of person who keeps ALOT of feelings to myself and i don't really speak out to express my opinions. Most of my friends always ask me if i'm fine or okay, and the answer's always yes, i'm fine. they always ask me because i always have this expression where it looks like all hell broke loose, but that's just the way i am. i'm a type of person who has difficulty finding the perfect day to just smile and be happy. but really, i AM happy, i just don't express it with a smile, that's all. so, i wrote my feelings down in this poem:

You go every day with a smile on your face
Showing people that nothing is bothering you
You tell them that everything's fine
When they ask if you're okay.
You laugh with them when they make a joke
And it's about how you hide everything
That those feelings are good feelings everyone else wants.
But really, you just want to scream.
You want to tell everyone to shut up and say
You're not okay. You're not fine.
In fact, everything is NOT fine, is NOT okay.
The smiles you show off
Are nothing but a habit you taught yourself
To show others you don't want to be bothered with.
You lie to them
Because if you told them the truth
It would hurt them so much.
So much that they'll say, "Sorry"
And don't know whether they mean it or not.
And when you laugh at the jokes
They made toward you,
You really want to yell at them
You want them to feel your pain,
To know what it's to have something wrong in your life
To want them make themselves want to help you
But not sure how, and when they try
You shove them away.
You try to make them go so far away from you
That you don't have anyone to turn to
When you need a friend.
You go every day with a smile on your face
Wishing they knew...
They ALL knew
Your hell. Your life. Your secrets.


This next one was influenced to me by vampires. i have this thing where i try to read as many vampire novels as possible, and yet can't get enough. i thought it would be neat if i wrote a poem about them:

The moon shines with brilliance
The wind flows with grace
All is asleep.
But me, the one with
Affection towards the night sky
The stars shimmer
Million years away
The crickets sing theor songs,
Of sorrow and pain.
Slowly i drift into slumber,
Watching everything haze.
The night sky has seduced me
To sleep for all eternity.


This last one was written because of some of my family members. I lost family due to cancer, and they were very close to me. This poem may sound kinda harsh, but i think it's pretty close to the truth:

Death is but a shadow
That stands in time
It waits for those
Who are ready
To leave their lives behind
But Death also
Chooses paths for those
Who have lost everything
And have no reason to go on
Death is but a shadow
Lurking everywhere you turn
It follows you when you run
Death can never loose
Never...

i like the first one alot. it explains alot about me.
the 3rd one is really good too!

that is such a great poem. i love it
