12 years old she would die
by Tabby

This is a story of a girl who died but had no choice
But that might have changed if she had raised her voice

Baby girl born in mid July
Who didn’t know 12 years later she would die

At 5 years old her parents were in a fight
Her daddy saw her watching and put his hand around her neck real tight
As she gasped for air
Her mother stared without a care
As she started to get dizzy he let her go and turned around
She set they’re gasping her face was blue
She tried to talk but there was no sound

It took her 2 days until she had finally spoken
But when she did she told herself I’m alone and broken

Oh how this was true she was alone
And how the last years of her life when she was in bed
She would cry and moan

At 10 years old she ran away in pain
Her mother hit her, her father beat her
She would never be the same

At 11 years old for no reason she got cursed
This time her dad hit second and her mom hit first

This happened to her nearly every day
By this time she knew she would never be okay

So on her birthday she killed herself and died
She gave herself her own little present when she committed suicide

i seen you again today By: tim Bradshaw

I seen you again today,
You're someone I don't want to know,
You disgrace the meaning of the human being,
Yet you still will not go.

I hate having to see your face,
Knowing the hatred you have brought.
I can't stand knowing what you've done,
And the ignorance that you've taught.

I want you to leave me alone,
You're every where I turn.
You need to go where you belong,
In hell to rot and burn.

Don't think that I can ever forgive,
The wrong that you have done.
Even though you say your sorry,
And that is was out of fun.

I seen you again today,
You are my biggest fear.
I'm taking this rock and ending your life,
You're dead! I broke the mirror.

Brave little me
by melissa

I though I could stand on my own two feet
and be the brave little girl everyone thought I was
face life and all its ups and downs
and never show any signs of fear
Who was I fooling when i though I could

Im angry at the girl in the mirror
the weak girl staring back at me
who cant get back up and try again
when shes fallen and skinned her knees

She feels like life has fallen short
and abandoned her on its way
like the whole world has turned its back on her
and shes not welcome to stay

So emotionally she mutilates herself
and cries her silent tears
just pleading for an angel
to fight away her fears

And as I stand here looking in the mirror
and wipe away my last tear
I force a smile onto my face
A mask which i must wear

"Hope"

Why won`t they accept
The fact that I`m not she
The little girl
I used to be

That shy young girl
With a voice so small
Never said a word
But her smile said it all

The little girl
That stayed so tough
She never cried
When things got rough

The little girl
Who belongs to my past
The little girl
They said grew up so fast

As time went by
And life got bad
She felt she lost
The heart she had

She felt all alone
On her pillow she cried
Because apart of her
She felt had died

Soon her emotions
To much to take in
So she painted her wrists
With suicides sin

She almost gave up
Until one founding day
Her angel appeared
And convinced her to stay

He gave her the hope
She needed to find
He gave her the love
So sweet and so kind

I can`t thank him enough
For loving me the way that he does
For being the hope
That nobody else was.

Warm embrace
Sweet face
Shining so bright
A beautiful sight
15 years ago
He told me
I had to go
To somewhere else
I didn't know
I was in tears
Couldn't think of
Being away
For many many years
He cleaned my tears
Put his hand
On my heart
And told me:
I will always
Be here
So near.
And smiled.
A smile I'll
Never forget.
Then I came here
Forgot his face
Throughout the years
But I know he's here
With me
Through thick & thin
I have no fear.
Trying to be my best
Knowing here I'm just a guest
Missing his
Warm embrace
Sweet face
Shining so bright
A beautiful sight

By Marjan Nouhnejad

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 cant 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 dont even care
Care that I am hear crying
Care that you are about to walk out of 4 different
Kids life
But you didnt 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 dont leave please dont leave me
You stop and say Jenn I love you and all your brothers and sisters
Dont 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 Im 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 its been
Over a year
Mom where ever 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 thats 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 dont 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 its coming from my hart and all I can say now is
PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU

Untitled
by Alyson

White faces surround me
Forever frozen in their eerie light
Darkness is around me
This is the path they walk in the night

Their thirst for blood controls them
They know not what they do
It drives them to do horrible things
And not always follow whats true

As they come upon me
I do not shed a tear
For they can't see through me
I won't show them my fear

They hold me in their tight embrace
Then give my the kiss of death
They whisper secrets in my ear
As I'm getting ready to take my last breath

But what they do next surprises me
They give me the gift of life
I am now immortal
No longer dealing with my strife

The next night I walk with them
Travel this ending land
For now I am one of them
Sitting at their right hand

** I can't think of a title, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.**

A strange story about a strange girl

Here he sits not daring a look
he's just busy reading his book
I sit down like I always do
face to face and reading too.

But somehow I can't concentrate
because of all the words that fade
they all fade at a very slow pace
graceful, past by his adorable face.

Then each word become a man
chatting, laughing, hatching a plan
They buzz around till I can't see
and suddenly cast a spell on me.

I can't get him out of my head
can't ignore just staring instead
every move is stuck in my mind
and also everything else I'll find.

So I'm sitting, I'm not all there
thinking of the things we'd share
suddenly he looks up and I see
his beautiful eyes staring at me.

I realize how stupid I've been
I panic and then become clean
He must think that I'm insane
so I just jump out of the train.

I lie in the grass feeling tired
But I leave nothing to be desired
just chilling, staring at the sky
satisfied, valuable time passes by.

I wake up on a beautiful day
my body hurts but that's OK
I want to talk but I'm all alone
so I stand up and go back home.

In My Dreams
by Sarah Drew

I fall asleep
I start to dream
My thoughts are deep

I see him there
He walks over to me
He runs his fingers through my hair

He looks into my eyes
I look back into his
My heart flies

He smiles at me
And kisses my cheek
I'm filled up with glee

He takes my hand
We begin to walk
We here music from a distant band

It's beginning to become light
Our time together is almost over
I'm filled with fright

He smiles and says goodbye
He walks away from me
I begin to cry

Our time is done
It's all over for me
That's it for all the fun

I'm now awake
Tears are rolling down my face
I begin to shake

It's over now
I'll get over this dream
I just don't know how

The contest shall end when there has been 20 entries
thank you for your fabulous work its excellent
good luck to all
;)
*wings*

When it rains,
you are my umbrella.
when there is a Storm,
you are my haven.
when my heart brakes,
you put back together.
when i cry,
you wipe away my tears.
when i break down,
you build me from scratch.
when I'm lost,
you show me the path.
when I'm confused,
you help me find the truth.
when I've given up,
you give me new hope.
when i stop the fight,
you give me reasons more.
when i fall in darkness,
you become the light.
when i turn to evil,
you hold on to me with might.
if i were to loose my life,
you would replace it with yours.
if i were to loose my mind,
you would gladly give up yours.

you are my best friend,
you are the only one i trust,
you are the only one who cares.
i know for me you'd do anything,
i know you'd destroy the world to find me,
i know you'd tear the universe in search of me,
and i want you to know i can't live without you.

your my everything,
your my best friend,
but above all; you are..... my mother.

*when does the comp finish?*

Attack
by Devin

They come in numbers
Spreading everywhere
Killing all they see

Burning and destroying
Everything in their path

In the dark of the night
They begin with a new village
Taking apart everything

Burning down the homes
With the families still inside

As they take it all apart
They grin dark smiles
Across their faces

They feel so powerful
Knowing nothing can defeat them

The demons move to the last house
When they walk in the door
They see a little girl
Curled up in the corner

One walks over to the little girl
They demon looks into her soul
Seeing her darkest secrets

Seeing how she is beaten and abused
And how she prays to die every night
The demon picked the girl up
And sucked the life out of her

All the demons left and burned the house
They left the village

Now they are waiting
For the next time to go and kill
With no mercy

The Boy Who Loved
by Tortured Soul

There was once a boy who loved
He was happy and joyful
He had everything he wanted
He was in love with the most beautiful girl

But one day that all changed
She got into a car accident
She died because she got hit by drunk drivers

After that day the boy stopped loving
He had no feeling of happiness
He started to see everything as wicked

He began to hate everyone
Life didn't feel like living anymore
And so, the boy who loved
Took his own life

A cage I call home

Looking at my bedroom door,
I don't know what I expect,
You can't even look at me now,
Since you've realized I'm not perfect.

What did I do wrong,
I did all you asked,
My grades are A's, My friends are great,
Somehow all that was masked.

Looking at these four bare walls,
What surrounded me as a child has disappeared,
All my dreams went too,
I was left alone with what I feared.

No one was there to teach me how to cope,
Instead I wore a disguise,
Never showed my true feelings,
Never cried at goodbyes.

Looking at my bedroom floor,
My head is bowed in disgrace and shame,
I could take the shouting and the fights,
But not the blame.

I won't let you tell me this is all my fault,
I can only be so strong.
Your expectations are to high,
When I fall, your shocked and I'm the one that's wrong.

Looking at this four poster bed,
Covered in pillows and sheets that don't come cheap,
At night, in a pace when I should feel so safe,
This is where I weep.

When I dream at night,
Nightmares replace my dreams,
In a home where even family,
Isn't what it seems.

Looking up at my ceiling,
Covered in clippings from a magazine page,
A silent confessions brings tears to my eyes,
"This is no longer my home, It has become my cage."

Oh child come fly with me
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

Oh child, child why do you cry
come with me and a way we will fly
to the mountains and stormy seas
we'll sleep in the grass and walk in the trees
oh child, child come with me
we'll sleep with the bunnies and fly with the bees
we'll go away and see the sights
then later take to the sky in our flight
soar over the hills and the beautiful land
soar with me so take my hand
hold my hand, hold it tight
soar into the sky and swim in the light
explore the world before you get old
when that come, away we will go
we will keep on flying
oh child, child why are you crying

I love you, but you always love someone but me,
I love you through your bursts of acne.
Without you in my life I feel broken and empty,
Even if you've never loved me, you're all I see.

She says she's in love with you,
After just one day, it can't be true,
I can say I love you, 'Cause I've liked you 16 months, time's no issue.
When she's around you, does she unglue?

Does she dream of you, night after night,
Are you the only reason she remains in the fight-
Called life? Does she write and write-
Poems about you in darkness and light?

Does she post them all over, for people to read,
To give her the support that she wants and needs?
Does she feel only with you she can succeed,
Has she dreamed every night of you two getting married?

And before bed each night, does she cry?
Does she think that without you she should die,
Does she love you half as much, I ask for a reply!
Does love you even at your shows when you're drunk or high?

Has she been to three of your band's shows in a row?
And has she cried when you didn't show-
At our chorus concert? Does she simply glow-
When you're around her, this I'd like to know.

So if she really loves you, she could say yes to ALL of these,
She would be willing to climb over the Rocky's-
Or over endless turquoise seas,
Just to see a glimpse of your face, to put her heart at ease.

All of these things I've done or, I'd gladly do,
Just to get you to love me too.
I'll wait forever, since patience is a virtue,
I'll wait forever to hear the words "I love you"

This is a promise I'm willing to keep.

The Creek
By:Amanda Bee

Lying on a grassy hilltop, they gaze up into the sky
Boy and girl, hand in hand, age sixteen
Looking into a sea of sapphire, downy clouds floating by
Surrounded by a blanket of wildflowers and evergreen

He picks a delicate yellow daffodil, places it near her head
She sweetly blushes, then they playfully roll down the knoll
Whirling, spinning, circling colors of yellow, green, and red
Laughing with dizziness as they reach the creek below

Enveloped in the sound of the water's gentle hiss
Tiny, cerulean, translucent waves rushing by
Their reflections upon the surface, mirror virtue and happiness
Curiosity of a budding love sparkles in their eyes

Dipping their bare feet into the frosty water as it swiftly flows
Cool, crisp moisture encircles their exposed skin
Feeling the massage of the current weaving between their toes
Auburn branches dancing softly in the wind

She plucks white lilies from the grass, ties them stem to stem
Making two little flower ringlets, sitting next to the stream
She places the adornment on his finger; one for her, one for him
Promises to one another, under the warmth of sunbeams

They cross the shallow creek, splashing over the smooth stones
Reaching the majestic, old oak tree dwelling on the other side
He uses a pocket knife, carves their initials; hers then his own
In the brittle bark, encased in a heart, their love shall forever reside

Face to face, lip to lip, under the magnificent oak tree's shade
Engaged in love's first kiss, so tender and so meek
A crimson line drawn across the sky, the sun begins to fade
A spectacular moment perpetually engraved beside the creek

THERE IS 21!!!!

Behind Closed Doors
by Lil_poetry

As I sit and reminisce about the year when I was just nine I instantly go back to the point in my life when my innocence was no longer mine

An older family member of mine, was my baby-sitter each day
Known as the only little girl in my family at the time, I was only nine years old, I swore to him this story would never be told
There is no way to evade the past so now I put my fears aside and finally I have something to say

The touch of his hand made me want to die
The sound of his voice made my nights full of endless cries
He would say dont worry just be quiet and sit
But deep down I knew he was full of shit
He constantly kept me traumatized as a child
He always had a way of convincing others that I was a strategic liar
Scared to death to tell anyone I just nodded and smiled

I couldnt understand how, why he would force me drop to my knees I would beg and plead for him to let me go constantly crying please
Each time hoping to GOD someone would open that door to the room filled with such painful encounters
But it seemed as if no one else existed in the world just his devious ways, my countless resistances and my persistent prays
He would force me to provide him with orgasmic pleasures
And would punish me when I wouldnt fulfill his sexual measures

I would go home each day feeling like trash from the bite marks on my breasts to the point of me feeling depressed
He made me believe that no one cared about me from comments like Whos going to listen to you, you are just a dumb little girl who lies Deep down I questioned what if I tell someone that he is touching me in inappropriate places from my non-developed breast, to my sensitive vagina, to my inner thighs. They are going to think I am exaggerating. I thought.

I wish I knew that he was just manipulating my mind and soul. But how could I handle this at just nine years old. For years I have felt like I should be punished for this unforgivable sin.

Its eight years later and I question how he sleeps at night, knowing that he molested his baby cousin when she was only nine and he was thirteen.
So what do you do when no one knows of this terrible ordeal that took place 8 years ago? Till this day I am still carrying the burden of what goes on behind closed doors, one day I pray that this door will somehow vanish

IM SO SORRY
I FORGOT ABOUT THE CONTEST
THE JUDGING SHALL COMENCE ASAP
IM REALLY SORRY
GREAT WORK THOUGH

"Life Through You" by Matters

Colors fade into the web,
As all the dreams and hopes will ebb,
What’s set upon the bank of worry,
Is set upon the bank of fury.

Weaving close, tight to knit,
Doused with flame relied on wit,
If nothing else but dark can win,
Then what is there to douse the sin?

As the needle, along the flow,
Is timed to over under go,
And like the wind throughout the trees,
It never stops to hear her pleas.

So fade along the balanced plight,
To hear the arrogance of night,
And if you let the colors die,
More uncovers than a lie.

Barricade the blacks and grays,
Purify the life you’ve made,
To signify the blood you’ve bled,
Dye the weft and warp blood red.

If blues and greens, elusive sound,
Are broken out and laid on ground,
And all the hues of richest gold,
Will die and watch their corners fold.

Transfer what the warp has left,
Take the threads off charring weft,
Burn and scorch the time to be,
To prove what not remains of me.

Take the ashes thrown away,
And take them down a street one way,
For they are not the worthy souls,
Of what has happened to my whole.

Take the stains upon your hand,
And listen now, you’ll understand,
For what is left is left to have,
And make my rid being live somehow.

Of all the scars for memory,
Become my brand name legacy,
Mold my face, my mouth, my ears,
Sculpt my nose to fight your fears.

Complete my features, all but one,
For these are what can see the sun,
What love can see and not can lies,
Leave my face with all but eyes.

And with my eyes, use your gift,
Your power to the ashes sift,
Take them, listen, make them real,
Make them my emotions feel.

Add in flecks of gold and black,
All but pupils, which I lack,
Blues and greens and whites and reds,
Bring in life into the dead.

Once you make me my own eyes,
Give me strength to realize,
For I am you, created by,
More than ashes in the sky.

For with my eyes, I will see,
More than just a life, my free,
I will see through every soul,
And this will make my being whole.

I have lived through someone else,
And they made what I made myself,
And through this time, I know I prove,
I achieved my life from you.

when are you voting??
