A collection of my poetry. Ongoing. |
I started writing poetry for fun when I was 10 years old...and I've put a few of those in here...:O Those are marked 2011. I'm fifteen now, so be expecting some angst. :P Oh, and I adore a good haiku. :) Mt. Fuji tickling snow glints point on mountain bathed white beauty unveiled Konoha the golden leaf fell quickly touched the ground color turned brown Snowflake the icy burst delicate structure melts in my hand Morning silver branches coated by a thin sheen ice droplets form Little One (2.14.2014, edited 6.27.2014) Don't cry, little one Yes, the world is hard And though your hands and knees may bleed, little one You will survive Please dry your eyes, little one I am here And though the rain seems to never end, little one Hold on to my hand a little longer and maybe You'll discover the light in the clouds, Little One Untitled (4.18.14) It's just a matter of time before my demons come falling down on me again Before my wits falter under the stress of holding the heavy sky And blood trickles down my arms from the pain in my heart It's just a matter of time before they realize what they've done wrong when I lose it sobbing on the cold, hard ground. Little Flower (2.14.14) Small flower uncurls pink lips peel apart sun warms her petals She is alive. Excerpts from Quick-Step Two (4.4.14) Fragile cracks in a crystal glass Rainbows faintly forming Time spreads by like in the past The edges of consciousness slowly warming ... Like fragile cracks in a glass Our reality is ever on the brink of collapsing So oblivious are we to time's quick step passing That soon we are dead; humans aren't meant for lasting. Vines (4.18.14) Entangling vines slither up roses, tulips Sweet perfume tiny drop of blood chest contracts Bliss and pain red black white Light. Cry (4.21.14) Soft, exhaling breath wavers, imperceptibly A tiny lip-lick A slight tightening of the jaw A little slump to the shoulders She refuses to cry Untitled #2 the tears slip past my eyes treacherously falling on intertwined fingers Glimmer for an instant before slipping out of view. Nothing (2.14.14) It's nothing, I swear I'm completely okay I'm just a little scared just in a little pain I'm just a little desperate It's nothing, I swear. Untitled #3 can't you see my point of view? I'm chained to rock like Prometheus society is my eagle and she is my Zeus. Untitled #4 Night fades away and I'm terribly lost I need a guiding hand to help my through the frost Untitled #5 slipping away fainter, fainter, gone blood runs through your fingers a little too late to save her. San Valentin (2.14.14) Bravery and loyalty A lion's roar A softened heart And a battle soars. Untitled #6 ridges of ivy valley of sweet spring greens leaf lies on ground Sapling young sapling male looks to a frosty sky is eager to grow Untitled #7 (5.11.13) honor leads him forward while safety lies behind red jewels fall like tears from the shining sword Something (4.4.14) There's something there A spark A star A light A smile There's something here Ode of Anymore (4.4.13) Can't cry anymore Too bottled up Too enclosed to feel more than just pain I'm too frozen There isn't healing from this kind of dream Take it away Lay it on the floor I can't take this anymore Close (4.14.13) I know how it feels standing on the edge I know how it feels to press against the wall in fear yet want to fall free. So close... My hand is outstretched Won't anyone take it? Lead me from the darkness into the light One of little faith Spark some life into the chain. I'm reaching out Isn't anybody out there? Excerpts from No Good Goodbye (4.4.13) ... Take my hand Lead me out of the darkness I don't have faith in you But what do I have to lose? .. I can't seem to keep my grip It seems like I can't make it another night I'm not done, I'm far too young (I'm afraid to be all alone) Can't close my eyes ... Whisper a lullaby Hold on to those childhood memories Good times lost long ago. The future holds a light tell me I'm gonna make it another night Disoriented (10.4.2012) Doesn't it seem simple? It's something I remember a lullaby or a story I realize I've been fighting too hard to be who I'm not Then why is it so hard to be just me? Goodbye (4.4.13) You've whispered lies into my trusting ears You give another twisted reason to not say goodbye This poem is just another broken-hearted attempt to stay whole I won't close my eyes I won't take your hand I won't let you lead me into the darkness I no longer have faith in you. Mine (10.4.2012) "Lay it all down" I know You can't expect it of me Why should I expect it of you? "Tell me your secrets" the constant back-and -forth invisible silent conversation Out of the shadows you emerge You say (again) "Tell me your secrets" But, I can't tell you mine. The First Note (10.4.12) it's the BREATH the fear AND hope as you SING that first NOTE. Cut Me (10.4.12) Cut the rope Cut the soul Cut my heart in half You always are able to cut me with your words. Responsibility (6.8.12) A child, masked as an adult Forced to grow much too quickly. Lies and Expressions (2011) A smile can hold so many lies A frown can lead you astray A blank expression Gives the impression that you aren't listening. Nowhere Fast (2011) Forever is a long time and I'm going nowhere fast The river's speeding by me as I wait for you to cross Your crossing takes a long time and you're going nowhere fast. The Shell (2011) Whenever I take a breath I feel the heaviness inside Maybe a deep breath lightens it a bit, but it never leaves me free. My laughs are held back my smiles strained My whole body screaming to be free How does no one notice this shell I have been caught in? They sneer and jeer and I pretend not to notice, but I do and it hurts This shell has done more harm than good yet I can't shed it Anymore than a turtle leaves his shell. The Shell 2.0 (6.27.2014) Soft inhale to the cavern where the all is dark and all is heavy like the sky is pressing down your knees are buckling So you retreat to the shell. Breathe in, breathe out Expel For an instant, the weight has lifted before crashing down once more. You look around the hallway (can anyone sense a fraud?) your smile as bright as can be (can no one see the strain?) Laughing like bells (can no one hear how shallow it is?) You force your shoulders to be straight (can no one see the tenseness?) You are a master of disguise weaving masks and shells like a magician Now you see it, now you don't This shell is more like a wall It protects you And you walk with your head high eyes avoiding meeting anyone at all The barbs are there, prodding and biting You retreat into your shell but it stings and hides away to your cavern inside. You want someone to see past the cheerful exterior To rip off the shell that holds you back and teach you to live again. (meh...don't know if that ^ was any good...) Only in Writing (2011) Only in writing do I start to understand myself and who I am Forever (2011) Forever hold a grudge Forever standing bitter Forever never forgetting Forever always giving Forever always regretting Forever always human Forever never ending? Forever is a lie. Hurting (2010) Some people when they're hurting scream it way out loud Some get help and let it out Honestly, I don't know how. Some people turn to the darkness others to the light But me, I keep it all inside and let it fill me up. Slowly, slowly sometimes bubbling up and overflowing while smiling through the pain. For I am afraid of jumping high or low Afraid to trust though some trust me My trust has been shattered And I am afraid of depending and desperate to depend on someone No one, not even myself knows exactly who I am. I hide behind a positive shell always smiling laughing giggling faking while holding on and losing my grip Falling into the river. But no ones know but myself and I'm losing, wasting Becoming lost in hurt. Masks of Light (2.14.14) Sweet drop of pain A cry, a smile A sunny light masks the monster inside. That's all for now, folks. Please review and let me know what you think! |
