teenage poetry contest

Hiya Andrew!

Cheers for making this contest! :)

Start to Death.
by InvisibleGurl

I know what it feels like
To have know one there.
I know what it feels like
To know that no one cares.

I go through the same old
Hell everyday,
It's not like anything
Is ever gonna be okay.

My life is shattered,
In little pieces they fall,
And in my heart I feel,
I just want to end it all.

The sadness engulfs me,
Like a fog on the beach,
I'm slowly drifting away,
To a place they can't reach.

I swallow the pills,
It seems to numb my pain,
Nothing hurts, but I'm cold.
I can feel the rain.

I can also hear people screaming,
People tugging at my hand,
As if they could pull my soul
back to the land

Too late now,
I see a bright light,
My mind isn't struggling,
Not putting up a fight.

Everything's shutting down,
I can hear people crying,
I take one last breath,
And then begin my path to dying.

A picture lays on the table
As color begins to fade away
Memories of us are still fresh
As if we just took it today

It seemed like so long ago
When we would sit down and chat
We used to get into so much trouble
We were the happiest little brats

Best friends forever
Together till the end
We were there there for each other
Your sorrows I would mend

We grew up together
Time flew so fast
Despite the changes in surroundings
Our friendship had no contrast

We were joined at the hips
All the people would say
But it broke my heart
To see you go away

You took away your life
It was too hard for you
You couldn't take it anymore
So your life you threw

I still remembered that night
You cried on the phone
You didn't know what to do
You felt so alone

I rushed over to you
I knew something was wrong
You used to be so cheery
You used to be so strong

I found you on the floor
Your body lifeless and cold
A little knife by your side
A letter in your hand I started to unfold

Smothered in blood
Told the story trapped inside
The pain you felt
The tears you've cried

I held you in my arms
You looked so pale
My angel
You've turned so frail

That memory broke my heart
One year has passed
But you're still my angel
Our friendship will last

1700's

Saints not sinners do us in,
Burning us beyond the skin,
Faith in that which don't exist,
Purging us with iron fist

Trial is a sided fight,
We will be dead by end of night,
Removing us like a cancer,
Now we'll see the starlit dancer

Light the torchs,
Tie the knots,
Pile the bodies,
Load the shots

Whichever way our death might come,
Next day you'll see a crimson sun,
Throw the ashes to a ditch,
What it takes to be a witch

Hey, im only 12 and it's a hobby. Glad to have something in common :) ya, thanks for making this.

wait... sweetenigma has a very interesting point. my age doesn't end in "teen" .... am i disqualified?!?!

The Wings That Carry You

How we used to cry, laugh, tease
Everything and anything at our fingertips
How we would plan the future, share the past
The truth that never decayed

I believed every single word
I know you did too
One day I will find the same
Wings that carry you

I know you're out there
That you'll wait for me
It's good to feel
That life is so sweet

Life is but a dream
I still remember that
I hope this dream never ends
For it holds my last fantasy

How beautiful it is
To see true paradise
I will tell you all about it
I know you're listening

The rainbowed shilouettes
I saw after last night's dream
Where are you?
Do you miss me?

I know one day
We will reunite
You're mine
For all of time

And though you are strong and cannot break
I want you to know
I'll catch ahold of you and hold onto your wings
For you cannot fly without me

One day...
I'll meet you again
It's God's wings that carry you
And if you fly, fly to me
And carry me
Subdue me
Continue me
For the last bit of eternity

I will live on your own breath
For you sacrificed your life
For silly little me
I appreciate that, I really do

How freedom caressed my tender heart
As you snuck in and broke my chains
I remember the moment you were caught
Your voice crying out in pain

You left in a love for me
I won't forget that
One day you too will be free
In the lasting moment
When I reach your feathered wings

I've heard so many stories
Of how up there clouds never go astray
The sun never sets but the moon does neither
I won't forget this in any way
I've heard the food is plentiful
That nothing costs a cent
I have heard the time there
Is never harshly spent
Someone told me about the glistening white robes
They reserve for all up there
One day I too will visit
And remain with all of time for us to share

yeh, me bad ppl. its fixed now, it is steph's poem i jst thot she wasnt gunna pst it , and i wnt her to show off her work. i ment to say sumthin, but i gess she beat meh 2 it. sory again.

I sit in my corner,
cold and alone.
I wonder, when mommy,
will you come back home?
Demons surround me,
I don't know what to do.
They tell me I'm worthless,
That I mean nothing to you.
I'm starting to listen closer,
I hear the whisper of the ghosts.
Now that you don't care,
they don't need you as their host.
They're moving onto me,
They're trying to take my heart.
The love I felt for you,
started fading from the start.
I can't hide under your skin anymore.
I broke free this time,
I have someone to show me they care.
He loves me no matter what,
and hurting me - he'd never dare.
The ghosts are no longer with me,
now that you are gone.
The demons have moved on,
Now that I'm safe - they're done.
For I'm hiding underneath his skin now.

PINK ELE-PHANTS

Hey.. my poem is titled "Last First Kiss"

Never in my life,
Had I felt as good as this
it was a love short lived,
Which ill forever miss.

For a moment in time
The world had stopped moving
I was caught in the best
What then, was I proving?

It was all so cliche,
How fast he had my heart,
But things dont last forever
How soon, it was torn apart.

I just dont understand what happened
It seemed so perfect, or so I thought,
We kissed that night ,
It just seemed so right,
To me, it really meant a lot.

After that night, I waited so long
To hear his voice once more,
But he avoided me, and forgot I could feel
It was his last walk out of my door.

When we used to hang out,
Hed tell me how shy I would be
And to just say what I was feeling inside
But its not me, its him
That needs to grow up and see
That his silence just makes me cry

I just want him to say, why he left me this way
Without a single word of goodbye
His truthful words would have caused hurt feelings
But his silence hurts more than a lie.

I just long for the day to see him again
To show him the hurt hes endured to my soul
To make him realize, what hes done to my heart
The piece ill never get back, which he stole.

When I see him around I Hope he realizes
He lost the best thing he could have had,
But I want him so much,
despite how he broke my heart,
for eternity, ill forever be sad.

But I wont say a word
I will just let him slip away
What I thought I had, I have lost
Hes gone from my life,
Its something Ill forever miss
Ill always remember him.
And our Last, first kiss.

Life is't Fair Mommy...

Sitting here
Screaming inside
Trying to find a way to escape
Waiting for a light to shine through
Something..Someone..to tell her everything will be ok...
What if no one comes?
Will she make it through the day?
She sits in this dark room
With a knife in her hand
Ready to take her life away
Ready to leave this madness
Leave all her sadness behind
The time has come
No one is here
It's time for her to face her fear
She lifts the knife
Slit's her wrist
Knowing that she won't be missed
Blood starts flowing
Her face begins glowing
Death she's face's head on
Hoping that it will help her move on
Lifeless she is on the floor
The door creaks upon
Walks in a little girl
Mommy she's whispers
Are you okay?
Mommy talk to me
Tell me you all right
The girl notices a note on the door
Reads it quickley then falls on the floor
Mommy how could you do this to me?
Leave me all alone...
Who is gonna be there now that you're gone
I'm sorry mommy that you thought I didn't care....
I guess....life just isn't fair....

Help Me
by Barbara

I took those pills,
so I wouldn't have to see this place again.
I wanted this to be over.
No longer would I have to worry for my family and friends.

But I still remained here.
Trapped on this earth.
Why did I have to stay at this place?
No longer did I want a rebirth.

I just wanted to die.
Just end the suffering, loss and pain.
I have lost so much.
There is nothing left to gain.

Why did he send me back?
Why couldn't I stay up there?
I just wanted to have a time of peace.
I was so tired of being so scared.

All I thought was,
When will the next tragedy take place?
When will I have to feel more pain?
When will I finally be replaced?

There are millions of people on this world.
Why couldn't they just let me go?
Please just show some mercy.
I'll stay here, just let Nana be shown.

I want so badly to see her again.
Her and grandpa, too.
I know they are long past, but please
perform a miracle and let me see those two.

I'll cross a thousand mountains.
Run a thousand miles.
Go through one thousand losses.
If only I could see their smiles.

My heart is bleeding.
I feel this never ending pain.
But please make it worth something.
Let me see them on a day of rain.

No longer will I complain for what I've lost.
I'll be happy for what I have to gain.
I'll recognize the goodness
that has come from what almost drove me insane.

Just let me see them again.
Just for a second, to help me become renewed.
And I'll look to the peace on this earth.
Instead of hating all the feuds.

Dear Mom...

Where were you when I first learned to ride my bike?
When I met the first guy i ever really liked
When i got my very first Teddy bear
Did you ever even really care?
Ya you gave me a few birthday gifts
but where were you when i learned to play my first guitar riff?
Where were you when I broke my wrist
Or when i got my very first kiss
All of these impotent things you missed
My first steps, my first word
you never even heard
My first laugh, my first cry
All these things just passed you by
I bet your always their to wipe your other daughters tears
chase away all of her fears
as loving to her as you can be
but you were never their for me
They say actions speak louder than words
words from you I have not heard
It's these actions that i judge you by
Twelve years of my life was one big lie
I have never heard form you
No not one hello
no I love yous so it must not be so
All i have is a picture and a birthday card
so pushing you out of my life shouldn't be to hard
because you were never there
Now tell me why should I care?

~The daughter you could of had

Winter Concert
by alwaysremenice us

Another winter concert,
on this cold December night,
just a glance in the darkness,
was just quite a fright.

the senior band was up first,
she wasn't nervous or scared,
she's gotten used to this, plus they rehearsed,
her watch strikes 7 then curtains go up.

the vice principal said all the intros,
lights turn on,
here they go,
once again, just another winter concert.

in her mind she remembers,
they just fought two nights ago,
what may happen,
they don't know.

they start to play their pieces,
she tries to play her part,
but then she saw a shadow,
which moved her heart.

he sat there in a distance,
almost blending in with the dark,
they could never imagine this influence,
just because of seeing him.

she feels so close to him,
yet they're so far apart,
she just wants to hug him,
tell him she loves him from the bottom of her heart.

the senior band portion ends,
she puts her things away,
then runs toward the bend,
up the stairs and into the dark theater.

she stands by the door,
his friends see her,
she kneels on the floor,
looking at his back again.

exactly 25 days ago,
at her favorite mall,
still fighting, but without all the extra burdens,
how she misses how they were before this fall.

he's with his friends,
she looks at him from 10 feet away,
he turns around and looks at her,
both thinking of their silly ways.

their eyes meet for one moment,
it felt like time just froze,
like their love is at full blossom,
as beautiful as a rose.

that winter concert,
she'll never forget moment,
when everything froze,
she'll always smile and remember how it felt, even under this torment.

Heading Home [Song Lyrics]

Where is the light?
What became of the peace?
When I'm standing in the shadow of this beast, looking at what I've become.

Moving forward,
Steps foot by foot in line.
Traveling a journey on this road in wait of a sign, searching for the sun.

On this road,
In this life,
On this journey,
We'll find the light.

And I'm walking along the road,
So that I can reach you.
But I need to make it to the end.
Still walking along this road,
To where you'll be at my side.
I'm heading home; will I ever see the end?

Shadows masking the way,
Reflecting stone hearts.
In a constant battle for mortal peace in innocent eyes.
Love forgotten.
Dark finds us,
To kill us.
Living in dead bodies has become a mortal hobby,
Through the eyes of the beholder.

On this road,
In this life,
On this journey,
We'll find the light.

And I'm walking along the road,
So that I can reach you.
But I need to make it to the end.
Still walking along this road,
To where you'll be at my side.
I'm heading home; will I ever see the end?

Can you see the peace,
Inside yourself?
In your broken heart?

Can you find the path,
Inside yourself?
In your broken heart?

Inside,
In your heart,
In your mind,
Is your path.
Inside,
Within you,
You can make it home.

And I'm walking along the road,
So that I can reach you.
But I need to make it to the end.
Still walking along this road,
To where you'll be at my side.
I'm heading home; will I ever see the end?

Can see you in the distance.
I've found the light inside me.
Finding you has made me,
Whole again.
I've made the distance,
My heart has been cleansed,
Now that I'm home again.

Inside,
In your heart,
Within you,
You can make it home.

Darkness Falls

The streets talk
the walls listen
Shadows walk
As the moon glistens

your are my night my day
the light that guides my way
My everything my nothing
My nothing my something

The sun rises and falls
As destiny calls
But no one cares
Therefore no ones there

Voices whisper
And things disappear
You don't miss her
Until shes not there

Mother nature is waiting
and time is fading
A mystery awaits
But first you must ponder the stakes

Watchful eyes await
As temptations grow
Some are real some are fake
And some youll never know

Moral is low
Everything is touch and go
Evil hides with in the night
Relief comes with the light

The walls listen
As the streets talk
As the moon glistens
Shadows walk

Heaven's Gate

I'm standing at heavens gate,
praying to be let in but they say it's to late,
the sin's I've committed cannot be erased
and in heaven I can no longer stay.

I asked to see God
and they said he wasn't there....
I don't understand it,
They said he'd always care??

They said I'd had my chance,
But I messed it up again!
That God doesn't want me,
I do injustice to his name!!!

I said I was sorry,
I begged for forgiveness,
They said it won't happen,
I'd made too many mistakes.

If only I could make God listen
Then he'd tell them it'd fine,
That I am a Christian
And my afterlife is his this time!!

But no one can hear me,
although I'm screaming so loud,
My voices is echoing
*But they're not hearing a sound!!

PLEASE let me in,
I need to see God!!!
Surely he'll listen
And get me past heavens guards....

They telling me these stories,
stories of what I'd done
But I don't remember doing that??
They must be doing it just for fun!

I tell them they lying
BUT they swear they tell the truth,
how can I stop them?
When they don't even listen to you...

But now I'm on my knees, Begging..
"God please forgive me, Let me in???
Destroy this demons that live within,
"they" trying to kill me, Lord!!
PLEASE DON"T LET ME DIE!!!"

.:*Thoughts Of A Girl With A Dieing Heart*:.

What has brought this pain upon me?
because the cause i cannot see.
im so broke down in many pieces,
when will the end to this pain finally meet?

i would do anything to leave this world,
and drift off into mine,
but what is imaginary cant be real.
what way out can i find?

my hopes and dreams came crashing down
many years ago.
im scared, beat up... in black and blues
cause of the many times i've been thrown.

what if i just left this world
in a bloody suicide?
would it make the weight of a ton go off?
between the depression and glee was i able to decide?

in every aspect of my life i hurt...
and i have yet to find anything to ease my pain.
how much more strength to go on do i have?
do i have the strength to go another day?

i know with the days that are passing
my heart rate is slowing down.
no one can help me at this point cause by tomorrow
my body is going to be buried 6 ft. underground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i know it aint all that but its one of my personal fav.z! =)

BTW, when does this contest end???

Much Love,

.:*La Boricua*:.

treacherous thoughts:

Giving in for the temptation
to reach the realms of reality
finding a path to purity
and know the true sensation

Searching for the suffering
knowing what you'll find
the sweetness of peace of mind
From the fear of never ending

Treacherous is the cynical voice
chanting verses in you're head
forsaken, all that's good is dead
A silence extinguish the hypnotic noise

Vaguely you are waking up
from custody of life's construction
the consequence is self destruction
for ignorance you're signing up

please start judging

i know. come on!!!!

can you have more than two poems???

Beauty lies within

We all have a little insecurity,
Something that we do not like
But know you were made special
And we're not all alike

We were all made unique
So we shouldn't live in fear
Of what other people think
And everything you hear

Not everyone's judgments
Are always precise
You have a choice
To listen to their advice

It doesn't mean to change yourself
Because the way you are is fine
When you show your true colours
That is when you truly shine

It doesn't matter what you look like
Or what people think and say
Acting like yourself
Will make it a better day

You don't have to pretend
Or be fake, at all
You should be someone you're proud of
And be able to stand tall

No need for to cover up
To hide your minor flaws
Your inner beauty will shine through
And it will show all and all.

It's your qualities that truly count
Your talents and personality
It's your actions and words
And your originality

People who are your friends
Should like you for who you are
You shouldn't have to be like them
Just to be a star

So be who you are
And don't tell lies
To be comfortable with yourself
You can't wear a disguise

In the end it doesn't matter
So be comfortable in you own skin
They're not all judging you so,
Always remember beauty lies within.

~*Who Cares?*~

Inside her soul i look,
she stares back at me,
tears fill her eyes,
worse can never be.

her Friend's have deserted her,
they have stabbed her in the back,
after all she has done for them,
this is how they say their thanks.

she stood up for them no matter what,
she stayed strong,
on her shoulder they cried,
but no matter now,
they have made it clear,
they have left her for another.

her best Friend tried to steal her man from her,
after a while she succeeded,
her other friend has a spaz,
and made her seem like a monster.

while she alone and in need of help,
they all let her be,
not one of them asked her how she was,
the other had their blessings,
but she never heard their pleas.

they try to get back with me,
pretend nothing is wrong,
but i know all that they have done,
and i cannot go one.

so as i look at that beautiful girl,
whose soul has been broken,
whose trust has been lost,
whose kindness has been hidden.

i realize i am looking at,
nothing but a mirror,
and back at me stares my reflection,
her eyes filled with so much doubt,
the only thing being evident,
the pain within her soul!

Addiction To Love

Shes Longing To Sink Into His Eyes
She Wants To Feel Comfort If She Cries
She Wants To Be Shield From All The Noise
Just By Means Of His Gentle Voice.

Shes Longing To Stroke Through His Hair
She Wants To Give All She Could Share
She Wants To Be Touched On Her Skin
As A Sign Of All The Hopes They Pin.

Shes Longing To Warm Up In His Arms
She Wants To Be Spared All The Harms
She Wants That He Cannot Get Enough
Because She Is Addicted To His Love.

ok, here's my poem, i hope you like it.

broken

your words slice through me
sharp as a knife
my blissful happiness is gone
because of this strife
each day is the same
you break me, then put me back together
i'll go in my room to hide
when i come out, you act like you don't remember
you don't see how hurt i am
even though it's so clear
and no matter how many times i cry
you don't see a single tear
you don't understand how much pain you cause me
you'll never understand my sorrow
you don't know how many times i pray
that it'll be better tomorrow
but it'll never be better
for when i think there's finally peace
it's all torn away
it comes to a cease
i end up broken
just like before
all the suffering i've gone through
i'll go through once more
i wish you'd stop this yelling
it makes me feel like such a failure
you don't realize what you're doing
my life is becoming my nightmare
my memories are haunting me
i'm restless every night
i cannot fall asleep
all i can do is cry
the next day you come up to me
you put me together again
then you say you're sorry
and you think you've been forgiven
but there's something different now
something is not right
for a piece of me is missing
one that's beyond your sight
i feel like all my true happiness is gone
i'm in this deep depression
but nobody will ever know this
for i'm lying and pretending
i'll never show how i really feel
unless you're someone i trust
you'll never see a single tear shed
in public my pain turns to dust
but no matter what i lead you to believe
inside i am crying silently
for i know if things keep going this way
my nightmare will become my reality

um hello..?!?! it doesnt take 6 days to judge a contest...

The fight that changed our lives
I hear the yelling and screaming
I feel the vibrations of the banging
I hear the screams of bad words coming
From your mouth
I hear you say I am leaving and not coming back
You can’t leave just like that you have kids
What are you going to do for the kids?
How do you think we will feel?
Bet you don’t even care
Care that I am hear crying
Care that you are about to walk out of 4 different kids life
But you didn’t even think that we needed you
That we loved you
You leave with out saying bye
Hear I am the oldest child
Your first daughter
Crying cause you are walking out my life
Then you see me running after you
Yelling mommy don’t leave please don’t leave me
You stop and say Jenn I love you and all your brothers and sisters
Don’t forget that
You drive off and just leave me crying
Do you really love me?
Cause if you did you will not have left me
Now hear I am and I’m needing a mom
We all need a mom
How is Gillian and Chloe going to grow up?
With out a mom to go to
Am I supposed to take that role?
The role of a mother when I am not ready
I walk back in the house and I look at daddy
I see he is crying just sitting on the sofa and crying
I bet you did not even know that this man loved you
Loved you enough that the next thing I know is that
He was getting in the car coming after you
That day you did not come back
But please do know that he is still looking
Looking for you; he has not stopped and it’s been
Over a year
Moms wherever you are he wont stop looking for you
Mom you were wrong to leave I was not ready for this mother job
I was not ready to be on my own with out a mother
You were wrong when you said that dad did not love you
He does love you and that’s why he is out till this day looking for you
Mom we all love and miss you and we all hate that you left but we all
Forgave you so please come back come back for the kids come back for dad
Do it for the family I don’t want the role of a mother when I am still in need
For a mother and Gillian and Chloe including me needs our real mother around
We need you mom cant you see that we all miss and love and forgave you for leaving but now we need you around I hope you see this poem because it’s coming from my hart and all I can say now is
PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU

Suicide Through Someone else's Eyes
by Tainted Mikochan

Before I died I prayed last night
prayed to God I'd win my fight
Asked him to save me from this pain
To give me strength to break my chains
I waited, searching for some signal or sound
To prove my pray had been heard and found.
I waited for my eternity until I was done
as my passions and pains finally won.
The effort of breathing was too much for me
My vision was fading, distantly blurry
Because I had returned to my self-harm
I hollowed out further, deeper into my arm
Until I realized I had sliced too deep
Left to only watch my bloody arm seep
Dripping away my life, letting it drain
I smirked, too numb to feel the pain
Dying there behind my locked door.
Unfound, sprawled upon my bedroom floor.
I closed my eyes, and peacefully died
Un-bottling the pain I had held deep inside
My soul departed from my body of icy stone
leaving my bedroom, where I died alone
after I faded, people shockingly shed tears,
some were strangers, some were peers
I was confused and astonished supremely
At awe of the continuous tears falling for me
I watched people mourn away the days
Confounded by their sorrowful ways
I saw them lay my empty shell in rest
Crying over my unfinished life quest
I left them there, ascending to the sky
Passing the shards of my existence by
Wings forcibly spouted from my back
Yet their coloring was strangely black
I flew through heaven and drifted to hell
Realizing I had become an angel who fell
Then God called me to his heavenly hall
Showing me the ripple effects of my self fall
Friends and family raw, swollen and torn
My children forever remaining unborn
A lover now eternally without his wife
Simply because I had decided to end my life
God told me there was nothing I had gained
From destroying my life to end temporal pain.
