Rain, Rain Go Away"Rain, Rain Go Away"

The sun set as she walked away that day
And it rained and rained for days to come
He became used to gazing at skies of grey
But man oh man he sure did miss that sun

Day by day his light began to fade
As he thought "Dear God, what have I done?"
His own tears would mix with the rain
Because God Almighty he missed that sun

Meanwhile water continued to shower
Throughout this lonesome phase
Even droopy were those flowers
From the bouquet he made last May

He tried to cover his wounds
By changing on random nights
But the answer he already knew
No intensity would ever match that light

Everywhere he went, clouds followed alon
Hall Of Mirrors"Hall Of Mirrors"

I was once thrown into a hall of mirrors
Surrounding me on every side
I was forced to look deep into my soul
For I had not a place to hide

Every mirror reflected someone different
Some versions were fat or thin
Each version had different color eyes
But none revealed the person within

Some versions were short or tall
Some had me in a tie and suit
Some had me in a summertime shirt
But none revealed the person I knew

Every mirror showed different contrast
And different objects floating in space
Some reflections were lighter than others
But none helped reflect my own face

So finally down on hands and knees
I asked desperat
Reason To Believe"Reason To Believe"

I long for hope that burns inside of me
Because there are so many things that I've never seen
So many places that I've never been
So much beauty that has yet to begin

This hope I long for that burns inside of me
Is the means and reason for me to believe
In all the things I've known and everything I have
For things can never really be that bad.

This hope I have is what pushes me forward
Slightly northward and around the corner
Its what gets me by each and every day
Because you never know what tomorrow may convey

You never really know what the future holds
Some days are bronze while others are gold
You never r
ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.
Hold On"Hold On"

Come on, kid
Please don't disappear
We have a better place for you
That's far away from here

You have to get better
We always wanted a son
Let the medicine run it's course
This battle is not yet won

I know you're not breathing
The doctors told me why
They told me you're not leaving
And maybe you could die

There are plenty who love you
Waiting at our home
Mommy fixed your crib
This bed is not a throne

This is the third time I've been
In a hospital this year
The others didn't go well
I lost many who were dear

I ran away to find myself
Because I was once lost
I needed to see what was important
Paths were so criss-crossed

But I'v
Poetic Failure"Poetic Failure"

I tried to write a poem
But my pen ran out of ink
The neighbors wrecked my home
I simply couldn't think
The bills continue to pile
The sun will not quit shining
These words have no style
Why do I keep trying?
The dog continues barking
It's distracting to my brain
This paper has no markings
This is really such a strain

I don't know what I'm saying
But words are coming out
While I just keep praying
They make sense read aloud
These words are not inspired
By any type of feeling
There's no guidelines required
Nor any type of healing
This poem has no goal
And no ending in sight
I'm sure it's full of holes

You Have No Right To LiveYou Have No Right To Live:

Hey, what are you doing?
That's mine, now give it back.
You're stupid, you should just go die!

Okay, I'm sorry...

What, you failed again?
Just how much money do you think we're spending on this,
Do you think it just falls from the sky?
I can't believe you; and don't give me that look!
You better straighten up now you hear me
And if you keep looking like a dead fish,
I'm going to make you wish you were one.

I'm sorry...

Hey, being around you is driving me nuts,
You never want to do anything, you don't even care,
Why bother even breathing if you're going to act like you're dead!

I'm sorry!

You're

Morning Light“Morning Light”

These hills that I’ve traversed
Within each and every verse
Have led me to believe
In all the things I see
And where I am right now
I could never imagine how
I have gotten myself to stand
On my own two feet again

I thought I could never dream
Or at least in what I mean
Or maybe this is fake
And these thoughts I can not shake
So sad and unaware
Bad thoughts are always there
Floating in my head
Taunting me instead

I don’t want to be naïve
And believe in what I see
But this thing called pressure
Is more than I can measure
Anxiety never disappears
Even though the ones I fear
Have finally gone away
I st
You Left Me StrongerYou Left Me Stronger:

Hey there, it's been awhile, do you remember me?

I guess you might not, since I wasn't very important to you.

You know, I spent so many days thinking about - what I did wrong

I questioned if maybe, I was at fault or if I was screwed up.

I thought a lot about the things you said...

The things that were my fault, my problems.

I took them to heart at first, but then I realised you were wrong.

I realised that you are selfish and ugly on the inside.

On the surface you pretended to care, but like a cancer;

You amputate someone the moment you think they've gone bad.

You hide from the rigours of life and only emerge l
Carry OnI like sharp things;
The way they shine
The way they hurt
The way they leave a red line.

I like to bleed;
The way it's red
They way it hurts
The way it washes out what they said.

I like to live;
The way it's wrong
The way it hurts
The way it tells me that I am strong.
Dare To Dream"Dare To Dream"

Dare to dream of ships and kings
Of rings of gold and pleasant things
Of skies of blue for miles long
Of finding new ways to be strong

Dare to dream of fighting sharks
On a new life which you embark
By boat or plane or haunted train
Hurry now; it leaves today

Dare to dream of huge success
Of values and money to invest
And if to you now I may confess
I have dreamed of you to ease my stress

Dare to dream of happy times
Of worlds existing without crime
Of fountains of candy spewing drops
Of exotic tastes; it never stops

Dare to dream of great adventure
That you one day will find your treasure
Hidden beneath dep
Let's Play Pretend"Let's Play Pretend"

When I was a kid I used to play pretend
Oblivious those times would one day end

I would pretend I was an astronaut
Exploring deepest space
I'd use my pillows as a rocket ship
And the blankets as the caves

Sometimes I would imagine
That I was on TV
I used a box as the frame
And cut a hole for a screen

I would always swing a bat
Pretending that I played
Baseball in the sun
While drinking lemonade

I always thought I was a doctor
With my plastic stethoscope
Healing all the animals
With cotton and some soap

I would pretend I was on stage
Strumming air guitar
Singing in a microphone
Into a sea of endless
Humiliation"Humiliation"

If I exist to teach a lesson
Then that lesson is to overcome
Any hardship or desire
Always fight; never run
Never give in to others
Or let them think that they won
We are all capable of strength
We will never be outdone
If I exist to show you how
Listen to what I have to say
Always do the best you can
And one day you'll find your way
Some exist to show us reasons
Why things are the way they are
And though their time may be short
They'll help us uncover scars
Everyone has a purpose
Even if you don't know it yet
Your existence affects others
There are those I won't forget
No matter how real the pain
Or how s
You Can Be A Poet“You Can Be A Poet”

I guarantee everyone is a poet
But I am willing to bet not many know it
Forming a poem is a simple task
Just string words on paper that seem to mask
Your hidden feelings on a certain subject
Or how you wish this world could be perfect

Not all poems have to be deep in meaning
And indeed even the simplest poems can be quite deceiving
This poem for example exists
Without any misdirection or twists
The focus of this poem is to provide
A helpful little guide
On how to write the absolute best
And bring out the skills everyone does possess

Poems work to magnificent avail
If one decides to retell a tale
Poems allow
Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down

Can I Come With You, Mummy?Would you be proud,
If you could see me now?
Falling to the crowd,
Ready to take my bow.

You're dead and burnt,
And I'm letting it kill me.
I've forgotten what I learnt,
About letting me be happy.

I'm a losing war,
They've already won.
Deader than before,
I'm just a clichéd pun.

I want to hate you,
You left me too soon.
My friends have no clue,
They don't even know this tune.

Lonely little girl,
No lover to hold.
Broken worn-down pearl,
How'd I get so cold?

You're not here with us,
You just don't exist.
Life's just meaningless,
So why should I persist?
Together Chapter Ten - PIKEYFandom: My Chemical Romance/Fall Out Boy
Pairing: Pikey (Pete Wentz and Mikey Way)
Point of View: Pete

Gerard's going to kill me. 'Trick too, probably. I know I'm meant to be getting Sweetness to school and then going home, but there's absolutely no way on this Godforsaken rock that I am about to make sweet little Mikey go through with something that, to be perfectly honest, scares the poor thing shitless.

Shitless enough to give him a goddamn panic attack. He looked so frightened, like I was taking him to the guillotine rather than to school. But I guess that I might as well have been; going to school just to get beaten up every day must
Smile For Me, Smiler - PIKEYFandom: My Chemical Romance/Fall Out Boy
Pairing: Pikey (Pete Wentz and Mikey Way)
Point of View: Pete

I hear heaved, agonized retching from the en suite of my oversized bedroom, thus waking me up and jet-propelling me from the marshmallowy cushioning of my bed. A bed that I fell asleep in next to my sweet little Mikey, the fourteen-year-old sleeping over like he always does on a Friday, yet have woken up in alone. Horribly alone without the warmth of my baby boyfriend to keep my heart at the right temperature to function.

What makes it even more horrible is the fact that moans and groans are drifting through the swung-open door leading t

If you cut you'll bleed
If you bleed you'll die
If you're sad you'll smile
And if you smile it's a lie

If you lie you'll live
If you live you'll die
If you cheat you'll win
And if you win you'll cry

If you cry you'll lose
If you lose you'll die
If you run you'll stay
And if you stay you'll fly

If you fly you'll fall
If you fall you'll die
'Cause no-one will catch you
If your life is a lie.
:iconcorporaterockwhore:
Just a little poem I wrote whilst procrastinating.

Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think/how to improve. :)

Kind of sad that that's the way it all works out in the end. Especially since any of us who are 'different' kind of HAVE to lie to 'fit in' with society. It's always a lose lose situation.

It is. I think it's because a lot of people are scared of others who are 'different' due to a kind of fear of the unknown.

To true, to true. People always fear that which is unknown, however how can you get over that fear? Learn about the unknown so it becomes known. Most people don't grasp that concept.

This is really good. I think, from someone who reads poetry aloud for competitions, that while this is a really strong poem with the a to b, b to c, c to d, ect, if you use some punctuation, just to direct the rhythm and flow of how you read it. You probably chose to not use any punctuation in this poem, but each mark has its use. :)

Thank you very much.

I am currently experimenting with the use of punctuation in poetry (if that makes sense?), so your comment has been extremely helpful. Thanks! :)
