    I thought it would be fun to make this thread for people to express their emotions.

    Rules:
    -the poem can be whatever length
    -it must have something to do with how you are feeling or what you are thinking about
    -this can be any kind of poem, so no rhyming required

    I'll start off with a poem (this is really my first poem outside of school so bear with me):
    Your eyes keep me up at night
    The memory of your arms wrapped around me
    The sadness in your eyes is all I see
    Under the sadness, a smile
    A smile as bright as the sun itself
    It makes me warm
    Makes me feel at home
    This has to stop
    I have to keep you
    From poisoning me
    With thoughts of love
    That will not ever be
    We're just friends
    That's all we'll ever be
    For now, I see your sadness filled eyes
    And a shimmer of hope
    Inside of my eyes
    There isn't a shimmer of hope
    But a black veil
    That's hides the truth
    Straight and Gay don't go together
    And that is why my love will never be

    I'm leaving this home on a Saturday
    Still haven't divided the photographs
    Who can decide such things?
    No lawyer or priest or rule of thumb
    Could ever come up with who keeps which
    The children by the sea
    Or a laughing face in the shoes that are too big

    Home. Home. Home.
    It is not built
    Like a house
    On the steep block with the amazing view
    Rather
    It is engraved
    On the worn wooden floors
    Like the memories of my footsteps
    My home
    Is now painted a ghastly shade
    Of burnt orange
    And is inhabited by other folks

    I am stuck
    On the wrong side of the country
    Just my luck.
    Nothing could stop me
    When I was whole
    But now I am broken
    Unrecognisable
    Like an orange house, no longer a home.

    Some people
    As the night looms and draws nigh I look within
    I am prone to hear more in the silence
    My dear, isn't it quite ironic then?
    These feelings cannot be decoded by science

    Where is the hero I asked to be, I pray?
    Did the fear make her turn and run away?
    Sword and shield why do they flee?
    And become replaced by a naked me?

    I wanted to rescue damsels and to foil dragons,
    The judgmental eyes bore into my thus weakened spirit
    My love has been considered that of Pagans,
    But my Divine master says for love I shall not fear it.

    Slipping and sliding
    Zipping and striding
    Ripping and riding
    Eternally raking,
    But ever presiding
    Over an ever growing,
    Overflowing,
    Ocean of leaves.

    Inspired by the dense oak trees and the carpets of leaves they left at my old house. There is no exaggeration above. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Even though I'm a very happy person all I write is sad stuff. Example:

    Is love always a sacred blessing, or does it sometimes mean you're cursed?
    Because when I thought I was over it, my heart's been recoerced.
    Is love really like on craft day, with red hearts made out of felt?
    Because to me that was the biggest lie the teacher's ever dealt.
    Is love all it's cut out to be, a precious gift wrapped in lace?
    Because all love has given me is tears streaming down my face.
    Is love really that warming, like chicken noodle soup for the soul?
    Because all that love has given to me was a buggy, nasty cold.
    Is love at first sight really truer than us mortals can see?
    Because to me, love at first sight can only happen in dreams.
    Is love really like in weddings and movies, where they say "Til' death do us part?"
    or is it like in real life where the marriage was doomed from the start.
    Is love really like in music, where everything's in a catchy tune?
    Or is it just a relentless ordeal that leaves your soul black and blue.
    Is love really like in the fairy tales, where everyone lives happily ever after?
    Or is it like when this sorry tale ends, that I will never love again hereafter.

    I have some sort of weird talent for writing sad poems/stories.

    I don't want to go to school
    Perhaps I can fake sick
    But my forehead feels too cool
    And my mom's being a dick.

    fucking birthdays
    why are you wishing me well?
    you hate me
    you all hate me
    don't congratulate me
    congratulate my mother
    she's the one who went through childbirth

    Is all the pain we feel the same?
    Do we all witness the same rain?
    Whether countryside
    Or far away?
    Darkest night
    Or light of day?

    Does everyone feel the same as me?
    Does everyone feel this pain with me?
    I don't know if my life's harder
    But it cannot be the worst.
    I just wish I could be normal
    And ignore this heart that hurts.

    But I can't destroy this feeling
    And I can't ignore this ache,
    Because I know deep down inside
    That we all don't hurt the same.

    Why are you hard?
    I want to take a bath
    Instead of doing this, which is making me bored.

    In the meadow stood a tree,
    Swaying in the breeze.
    That sifted through the blades of grass,
    Natures mind at ease.
    Leaves were falling to the ground,
    Landing way of course,
    Gently never making sound,
    Descending without force.
    The clouds above up in the sky,
    Never have no time,
    Slowly glidding, passing by,
    On a a day so fine.

    Wanna see me? Buy a telescope.
    I was once good at poetry,
    But now I'll just climb a tree,
    and throw myself into the sea,
    I grade this a solid D.

    This pointless construction of verse,
    Mindless addiction of the brain,
    But how could it get any worse,
    When you've already gone insane?

    LOL. Peace! (!)

    This is a haiku
    How do I write a haiku?
    How does haiku end?

    You learn what you see,
    You do what you learn,
    You live what you do,
    And you are what you live.

    But I don't want to be what I see.
     
  19. I'm going to write one about how I've been struggling with being happy recently, but I'm learning how to be happy again.

    My feelings go untouched
    my thoughts go unheard
    my silence overcomes me
    flocks around me just like birds

    My emotions are a test
    my pencil is my mind
    no eraser on this pencil
    because life isn't too kind

    My feelings are all insomniacs
    my happiness is the bed
    my feelings cannot be put to rest
    my happiness is dead

    The thoughts that go around
    can’t ever stop again
    because at no point
    does a circle ever end

    My sanity is a psycho
    my heart is the asylum
    it rests inside and echoes
    in the loudness of my silence

    People can’t let demons take control of them
    loneliness cannot be their only friend
    happiness comes to everyone who chooses to reach
    a lesson that can be learned, but one you can never teach

    I wrote this in the last creative writing class I took. It is meant to not be religious. The last line is meant to be we are all the same.


    The Path

    These presents I give
    I give them without reservation
    No regard to my consequences
    For… human kindness can never be wrong
    I give them as they were given to me

    Given to enlighten the beauty within
    A beauty hidden even to yourself
    A time for the spirit that was stolen
    To be reborn….to be the child
    Just as it was for me

    I take from this… my reawaking
    Of the presents that sleep
    A touch that will forever guide us
    Along the hidden path

    The path was always there
    Always waiting
    Knowing that trust
    Illuminates the beacon

    Driven by the righteousness within
    A fire which can never be extinguished
    Burning through doubt ….society norms
    For… righteousness trumps all comers
    For we are all children of God
