Daily Contest - 10/26/2005

Don't post after the date on the thread, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Rules, you may ask?

1. No slang.
2. One poem per poet per day.
3. Try to keep 'em short; don't repetedly post huge poems and expect me to read them all the way through.
4. No explicit poems.
5. Don't be offended by my final judgement.

For each daily first place I will rate/comment on two of the winners poems, neither of which will have been that day's entered poem.

Post away, ladies and gentlemen!

"Different Yet Same"

We're short; We're tall,
We're big; We're small,
We're black; We're white,
We're mean; We're nice.

Together we live in this blue-green world,
Together we experience what it holds.
Together we smile; we laugh; we sing,
Together we frown; we mourn; we weep.

We're all so different, and yet the same,
We stick together through thick and thin.
As we journey through life, we start to understand....
We're all so different, and yet the same
We're just pawn pieces; in life's game....

We're short; We're tall,
We're big; We're small,
We're black; We're white
We're mean; We're nice.

We're people, and this is how we are....

This Dream By ItalianStallion

I'm falling into this again
this dream it seems that it just won't end
makes me feel like it's all real
that it will come true one day
and I'll feel like this was all a big mistake
that this dream was just all so fake
but it really can come to life
and i would be gone before your eyes

and sometimes i feel like i am lost
that i don't know what it would cost
to pay the toll to fade away
and figure it out some day
but now i look the other ways
to find out how i could make these days
shorter so i can't complain
cause these dreams are driving me insane

and I'm falling into this again
this dream it seems that it just won't end
it makes me feel like it's all real
that it will come true one day
and I'll feel like this was all a big mistake
that this dream was just all so fake
but it really can come to life
and i would be gone before your eyes

cause all of this time I've been myself
never was i somebody else
so here i am with open ears
waiting for something i want to hear
but sometimes things don't go my way
sometimes no one hears what i say
but here i am alone in a dream
without any self-esteem

and I'm falling into this again
this dream it seems that it just won't end
it makes me feel like it's all real
that it will come true one day
and I'll feel like this was all a big mistake
that this dream was just all so fake
but it really can come to life
and i would be gone before your eyes

"How to keep yourself from crying"
Just Rain

I know how hard it is
For some of us to stop crying
To break down
To feel pain plus nothing

To try to have a heart made of steel
But then find out life's real
Oh would you dare call that the truth
Or a lie?

Could you stop someone you know from dying?
No. It's God's will.
So don't worry.They might have died with every trick in the book
But it's not your fault so no need to cry
Even if you didn't get to say that last goodbye

Do you have some friends
You miss every day
And even more
When you never get to talk?
It happens to me too.
You're not alone.

You ever feel
The weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
And you just want to break your back?
Everyone feels that way.
No one's perfect.

Ever feel you can't summon what you need
To push yourself up?
To tell the truth?
Do not worry.
Almost the world has the same problem.

Ever feel
Like a broken toy
That no one likes
To play with?
There's a toy repair guy,all the time
Be a DIY (Do it yourself)

You don't have to cry
But this might make you:

I know you feel this way
Even though you won't admit it
And you want to play
Along with everyone else
We all feel the same
At some point
We're all pushed away
One time or another

Don't worry
Because now
There's a reason to cry
Because you have a life.

If you believed the title
Then I don't think you cried.

Did you?

People laughing all over the Earth,
Giggling and being jolly for everything they're worth.
Inside of me, there is no laughter,
It's summer outside, but in me it's winter.
You turned your back,
My soul became black.
Now I have a hard time, just trying to smile,
You've caused me to change my life style.
I've lost my soul, it is gone!
I feel alone and withdrawn.
At night I spend hours just laying there crying,
I feel like my insides are dying.
Do you even care what you've done?
Would you care if I jumped in the ocean?
Would you cry, if I died?
You'd probably just ditch me to look for a bride.
In my heart I will ALWAYS love you,
I know someday, you'll love me too.
Until then, I'll lay here,
I'll lay here year after year!
I'll love you, even after I die, but you won't care,
But until then, the pain I will bare.
Someday you'll see, you'll love me too,
Someday your love will be my rescue.

Plz, plz, plz have faith in me.

I can't change the person I am,
No matter how much I want to,
But do you think I like to stay this way,
Being a jerk all the time,
I don't,
But I still can't change the fact that I am,
Maybe not now,
But I'll try,
I may need a little time,
To transform myself,
From a little devil,
To a pretty angel,
So I hope you'll give me the chance,
And believe in me,
To change who I am.

Today's winner was Italian Stallion.

Due to lack of interest I think I'll make it an every other day thing.
