#6 "Numb" (linkin Park)

“Numb”

In the deepest recess of my mind,
Is where you’ll find a hidden shrine,
Upon a mantel of majesty,
The shrine holds my dishonesty.

And every day this shrine fills more,
With the terrible thoughts that I abhor
Like water dripping from the skies,
Quickly filling the shrine with lies.

On the surface I may seem calm,
But in the deeps their lies a bomb,
And when the shrine overflows,
Disastrous will be your woes.

For numb as I have now become,
You cannot understand my calm
And so you pick and poke and prod.
While at the shrine I pray to god.

My calmness and my lack of feeling,
To you I fear have been misleading,
For now you know not what you’ve done,
And it is far too late to run.

Within me now the last drop falls,
Over flowing from the shrines walls,
Down the mantel it slowly drips,
Reaches ground; the world flips.

Out from the depths of things I held
A monstrous being which in me dwelled,
Appeared and reared its ugly head,
Numbness shattered, protection shed.

I am exposed and raw and bare,
You’ve forced me to admit I care.
I hurt, I bleed, I ache, I cry,
I even admit I’ve prayed to die.

Slowly you now turn away,
Do not acknowledge a thing I say
Hurting me deeper than anyone
So once again I make myself numb

w00t. i was first! lol i feel special.

CAN I RESERVE SORROW!

Sorrow- (Flyleaf)

This sorrow brought upon
my soul is because of you,
You gave me pain,
You broke my heart,
And then tore it into too many
pieces to count.

This sorrow is my saddened soul
crying out in pain.
Another love lost, a broken heart,
A saddened girl,
a too long chain of love.

These chains that bind me to you
hold on too tight to let go,
and i feel so lost knowing
I can't hold you the way i want to.

My sorrow brought on this already
shattered heart is the reason i want
to die,
because a heart broken more than once
is pain, and misery inside.

_________________________________________
Hmm... i dont know if i like it...

Noni... that sux...

i was writing it as you posted the reserved...

dangit.

well let rave decide.

if she says so ill change mine. :D

I want to reserve Beautiful Disaster
Ill write it on Word then post it after.

[PygmyPuff]

can i reserve EVEN IN DEATH or NUMB

if some one else wants one of them i'll write the other

Beginning with the condom rip,
Ending with a birth.
Any chance of a good life destroyed.
Until you came into her life,
Taking away the pain.
Insuring happiness forever.
Forgiving the guilt built up inside.
Unhatching her inner spirits,
Letting her finally be free.

Days passed with no harm,
Inside she felt worth the pain.
Silenced at her home,
Allowed to be free with her love.
Shaken off by the unloving ones.
Time pressured her existance,
Everything she had never meant to be.
Regret thrown away for good.

^^Its an acrostic..Dunno...
[PymgyPuff]

I'm sorry Allanah, let's hope she'll let us both write the same title

silhouette, of something unimaginable I allready took numb =P

Burn

You look at me
With those heated eyes
Burning like fire..

They glint with rage
And so much anger
So much evil
You stare at me
As I lay there on the floor
My mind gone blank
My breathing fast
My ribs broken
And my head bleeding
Bleeding forever more..

You have attacked me
You have abused me
You have destroyed me
You give me one last look
With those burning eyes
And walk out the door

You know someone will find me
And I will be fine,
You just needed to take out your anger
And the body you used
Was mine..

That's what I'm for
Always have been
And always will..
A punch bag,
A way for you to release anger and pain
Just pass it on to me..

But what you do not know
Is that
This is the last time
I will be attacked
Be abused
Be destroyed..

As you walk away
My head bleeds and bleeds
Leaving a puddle around me
My heart rate gets slower and slower
My eyes flicker open and closed
And then
Suddenly
I am lying in the dark
For the rest of eternity
Forever to remember
Those burning eyes like fire..

Noni, because I am a lovng and benevolent queen (J/K) You may also do sorrow.

but just this once. I'll never ever make the exception again. Maybe!

have fun with it.

It'll be nice to have two takes on the same poem!!

Awww!!! I wrote one awhile ago called 'Beautiful Diaster' Lol.. I would enter this contest. But I can't think of anything to write with the titles that are left. Is it possible to add some more please? Lol.

Sorrow-Thank you Rave!

Cold eyes burrowing deeper into mists
Weak soul dying, closer to black kiss
Endless rain of dark crimson tears
Showered in dark eternal fears

Falling forever through an empty hole
Empty as in the bottom of my soul
Drowning out all possible glee
In the sorrow that lives in me

Dripping from a dying petal
Living off the rotting shadows
Unable to smile, unable to cry
Unwilling for me to commit suicide

Is this the nature of forever sorrow
Leaving nothing but a dull tomorrow
Is this how I will continue to dream
In sorrowful pity and silent screams

I'm being really leniant, so for you Tale3e I will.

Add more titles that is...LOL

there are now FIVE (5) new titles for you to choose from!!!!!!

Can I reserve 'How Do I Live' It's really late here {4:58am} So I'll do it tomorrow and post it. Is that okay? And thank youuu so much for adding more titles! =D

uh huh. Sure~!

okay
just didn't see it sorry

I still reserved the other one for you. If you don't want it let me know.

May I reseve all around me?thanks!

erika (me) wants to do Hear Me by Kelly Clarkson. i know that song. i like disolve and decay by h.h.

so do you want to reserve it?

I'm bored out of my wits... and I just had french toast heaped with syrup...

I know thtat has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CONTEST... but I'm good at being somewhat random.

SORRY!

haha. random's good. it amuses the rest of us who are bored as well.

All around me

I hear your whispers all around me
Lingering in my ears
Warming up the familiar sensations
I’ve been waiting for years

I hear your whispers all around me
Tugging at my heartstrings
Awakening my frozen soul
Which has been numb to feelings

I hear your whispers all aound me
Whenever and wherever I am
The whole world escapes
Lost in your timeless tenderness

yes i wanna reserve hear me! sry im really busy this week...

I'd like to reserve "Wings of a Butterfly"

Wings of a Butterfly (An English Sonnet)

I've always said you're as free as a bird;
If I give you a reason to depart
then go, and you can take me at my word:
Ne'er again will you see my broken heart.

Just because I'm willing to release you
shouldn't make you think that I do not care.
Actually, the opposite is true;
I'm in love, from your clothes to your hair.

I know that sometimes I can cause you pain--
but I'm begging you to stay by my side,
and if here, next to me, you will remain--
I will try to swallow my stupid pride.

But everytime I cause you to cry
I'm tearing the wings from a butterfly.

sorry but i have to unreserve even in death

i don't think i will have time to sit down and write any time soon

again sorry

it's alright

Haha, if you unreserve it i suppose i must steal it!

Even In Death

I have spent my whole life waiting
Hoping that some day I might win
And all this agonizing anticipating
Has got me living a life full of sin

At times I think my luck might change
I feel the winds debating an alteration
Time falls apart and begins to derange
Another false alarm; just an apparition

Even in death, I find my dreams convoluted
Shattered hopes cracked upon a glass frame
Pieces scattered and suspiciously distributed
This existence of mine seems an unfair game

/\
not a very good poem. i am ashamed.

don't be ashamed, and let the judge decide what is and isn't a fine poem.

Arwen, there's nothing to be ashamed about there. If it's poetry and comes from the want to write, there's NEVER anything wrong with it.

dahh i know, sorry i was not trying to get attention i just think i could have written better...no worries. thanks for the support though! :)

lol any time. =D

8. I Write Sins... (Panic! at the Disco)

I Write Sins...

Sitting at a small desk
With nothing but a candle
To light the room

Crying over her notebook
Tears of deep sorrow
The young girl has lost her love

He left the party
With that other girl
Her sad eyes try to focus on the paper
As she writes out her story

He will never know how much he hurt her
She loved him and always will
She saw them together

It wasn't fair, she wanted him
She had to sit back and watch
As they danced and kissed

It will never happen again
She followed the boy home
And waited for him to fall asleep

Making her way up to the bed
She pulled out a knife and slit his neck
Crimson blood ran down
Onto his silk sheets

Now back home in her room
Crying tears for her lost lover
Knowing if she can't have him
Nobody can

I really like that!
