sure go ahead

alright

~Last Resort~

Blood drips from my veins,
like rain from the sky.
Hits the carpet like a waterfall,
sitting here, waiting to die.

I start bleeding profusely,
after one last slit.
My body starts to shiver,
my brain and heart start to quit.

I can feel the blood dripping,
not just on the floor.
It's running down my arm,
can't feel pain anymore.

My eyes close and re-open,
now I can't see.
My body is breaking down,
there is nothing left of me.

I try to stand, but I can't,
and crash down to the floor.
Now, I start to see things,
I've never seen before.

A bright light and a hand,
that is held out toward me.
I think to myself, is it God,
no way, it couldn't be...

...could it?

~Sean Dohr~

Can i reserve "bad day" ? Thanks

Stupid Girl (the one that has it all)

There is always one girl,
one girl who has it all,
the one with the looks
and the great personality.

The Effortless Achiever.
Says that she's hopeless,
When she knows that she's not
Lines up for the slow heat,
just so she'll look good.

Whatever i can do well,
She can do better.
Unseen Competition.
I know she wants to beat me
And when she does. . .
It's laughed off as a fluke,
But it hurts me inside,
Because it wasn't a race
until she started winning.
It's like the world revolves around her,
At least she acts like that is so.

I'm always average
Or just above,
70s and 80s for school exams,
B Teams for sport
A B+ for music.
I wish there was one thing,
In which i could win,
Or in which I could be
a lot more than just average.

I'm jealous of her
and all the girls like her.
Most days I don't care,
I don't usually mind.
But today it got to me,
And tore me inside.
Because maybe just once,
I'd like to be first.
Where's my Special talent
that we're all supposed to have?

*Un-reserved* Sorry......

xLaurenx

can i reserve "i don't wanna be"? thanks!

~*~"I Don't Wanna Be..."~*~

I don't wanna be a failure
Especially in your eyes
Why didn't I wake up and see
That you are just a bunch of lies?

I don't wanna be a liar
For that's just the way you are
But you rub it in my face
And say I'm the one who's bizarre

I don't want to be insane
But you laugh at me instead
You say that I'll always be crazy
And that I should be dead

I don't wanna be dead
But you convince me that I should
I'm so lost and tattered
As you've said that I would

I don't wanna be imperfect
But I don't think you care
You always try to better me
And prove that life's not fair

I don't wanna be a disgrace
Why do you leave me here?
I've only always loved you
Being alone is my fear

I don't wanna be scared
But I'm afraid there's no hope
Without you here with me
There's simply no way to cope

Although you hurt me daily
Although you wish that I would die
I will always love you
I don't wanna cry...

everybody who jus asked for a title YES!!!

"Fade into black"
by Wings of an Angel

Her life, her path, so different from everyone,
She loves it, yet shes supported by none.
She knows it's risky, knows it can go wrong,
but she will not quit, she's to proud and strong.
She said she would do this, and that she will,
She will follow her dream, which she'll fulfill.
But if she'll be great is a different story,
Maybe she'll fade, maybe find glory.
Maybe she'll become a legend, maybe she won't,
Maybe shell succeds, maybe she don't.
But she knows this is her way, she cannot go back,
Perhaps she will just fade into black.

Yeah, i wrote a poem for 'over my head' but it was waaaaaaaay to explicit.. lol. it was just a horrid poem. so im writing a new one.. -hrm- i need inspiration. yay!

Bad Day (diary of abuse)

Sitting here for hours, a broken disgrace.
Bottle in one hand, a glass in the other,
Ripped flesh hiding her face in ruins.
With twisted knuckles
Beat upon her skin.
She's pathetic.
Isolated.
Ruined...
...At least that's what he said.

She promised herself, it was only today
Just one bad day.
Until it happened
Again,
And again,
And again.
One day her heart stopped beating,
She lost that hope
Lost love
One day her tears didn't do enough.

The sweet smell of wine drowned her thoughts,
Until it was on his breath.

No doctor can cure the incurable,
No psychiatrist can heal scars.
But a rope can do more than both of them.

She told herself;
Today was the last bad day
That was the last time he'd rip away her skin
The last time he'd tell her how hopeless she was.

Hanging there for hours, a broken disgrace.
A rope from the ceiling,
Made from everything he ever did
Today, was her last bad day.

Dark Blue

Last night I knew you were watching over me,
Reaching my tainted soul with your peaceful eyes.
I was ashamed, but you weren't judging me,
You kissed my thoughts as I stared at the night skies.

I asked: "What color do you see within this heart?",
I guess it's not bright, since it's sorrow what I feel.
Maybe a combination of tears streaming in the dark,
A dark blue soul is what your eyes may see.

I know you understand my reasons and my pain,
You've seen my mistakes and still hold my hand.
Please help me, I don't want life to be this way,
Oh God, give me strength, you know alone I can't stand.

12~ Stuck ~
(a.k.a America the Great)
By: Bryce Dressler

The united states of America
is just one of a kind.
Where everyone is stereotypical
and looks come before the mind.

People living in the streets
eating out of trash cans.
Rushing into another war
without a shred of a plan.

To serve and protect
America the beautiful.
Behind the brave eyes of soldiers
is a family so fearful.

"Red white and blue to the death"
is an American soldiers pledge.
Yet our country so heartless and cruel
pushes them over the edge.

Stuck in a country where a vice president
can get a pardon or pass
for shooting someone in the face
because it looked like a ducks ass.

We look down upon drugs
cocaine, marijuana, and so on said.
Yet rather than electing a war veteran
we elect a crackhead instead.

Then we elect him again
for another four years
after he took us into a war unnecessary
and drove families to tears.

Stuck in a country where kids are lost
because of domestic abuse,
parents ignoring their problems
of alcohol and drug overuse.

How can you be so proud
of a country thats feared
that has driven other countries into the ground
over the last ten to twelve years.

People being shot again and again
in this country America the great.
And after all is said and done
the criminal gets to recriminate.

God bless the day
when we can finally see
the stupidity and foolishness
that we don't see on TV

Stuck in "America the great"
or so it is called.
Our foolishness and stupidity
shall be our downfall.

(C) 2006 Bryce Dressler

(These are my views on the USA so please dont take anything said in this poem personal. THank you.)

Miss Murder

Dear Miss Murderer,
I’d like to inform you
My brother’s funeral went well
On the 25th of June
I hope you understand
You not only killed my brother
But my dad and sister hurt as well
Along with me and my mother
I hope you know I hate you
I think you’re an evil man
I hope you realize the blood of my brother
Will never be washed off your hands

Dear Miss Murderer,
Why’d you do what you had to do?
You killed an innocent boy
What’d he ever do to you?
Did you not know you broke a law?
Running a stop sign isn’t allowed
I bet you feel pretty guilt
Am I wrong, or do you feel proud?
I hope the guilt you feel
Tastes as good as that beer
Because you’re drinking night
Caused my brother to not be here

Dear Miss Murderer,
I heard you were in jail before
According to the police
In the summer of ’69 you robbed a store
So do you do this for a living?
Do you just have an evil soul?
Do you like to be known as a predator?
Was taking a life your goal?

Dear Miss Murderer,
Enjoy your life in jail
Rot in there and starve to death
I hope you never get out on bail
I hope spiders lay eggs in you
I hope rats eat your head
I hope someone runs over you
And causes you to be dead

Dear Miss Murderer,
Please send me a postcard
Of how awful the food is
And how you get beat by the guards
I hope you change your ways
After hearing from me
And any time now
I’ll accept your apology

Dear Miss Murderer
Why were you drinking?
If you don’t mind me asking
What were you thinking?
Everyday now when I mourn
I feel like I’m being stabbed with a knife
Because I hurt so much
Because you took my brothers life

Please know Mjiss Murderer
My brother will never return to the world
Signed and Stamped
A hurt little girl

Thanks a ton for the feedback lauren. I got the idea to write it from something on youtube. lol. Just kinda moved on from there and expressed my own views.

Ton of great poems in here too. Gonna be a good compition, cant wait to see the results.

1) Miss Murder

Tight red dress,
Clutching her skin,
Black belted boots,
To pay for your sin,

Pistol strapped to her thigh,
With a warm embrace,
Brown hair flowing,
And a fallen angel's face,

Dark mascara upon her eyes,
Deepening her hazel rose,
Lips covered with blood,
But her mind is yet to close,

Fingernails painted black,
To match the tainted style,
Encased now in darkness,
To kill. But not to smile.

~Wings

omg. i didnt know somebody had already done this poem cause it didnt say it was done.
:S
does this mean i cant enter it or what?
~Emah

this is what i will do about the mix up with miss murder. I will just except them both. alright.

hmm so many choices! lol ill do hung up...

Hung Up

Looking in your eyes, when you looked back at me,
Those were the days, but know you cannot see.
Seems like we had so much, and now it’s gone,
Our friendship is off despite it was once on.

I’m still hung up on you baby I can’t let go,
I took a chance to tell you, and now you know.
I’m in love with you still, even though I’ve cried,
Because I know how you truly feel inside.

Everything you do makes me more hung up on you.
I can hardly control the tears, since we were through.
I never got a chance to show you how serious I am,
I guess I never will…and you’ll never hold my hand.

I don’t know why you stop talking to me when you knew,
Just seemed like what you had to do.
Late at night I think of you,
I’m hung up, it’s true!

I’m hung up, can’t let go, I love you baby,
Someday you’ll feel the same…maybe.
Until then I’ll wait, I’ll wait forever,
I’ll be hung up, if you need me ever.

~*Who Cares?*~
i hope this is ok, if not lemme know..

ok...sorry i probably shouldve checked just thought it'd be ok..
thanks
~Emah

Love Me
by Tine Delien

For all the times
I had to see you
walk away again

For all the chances
that I missed
every now and then

For how I had to
watch you
taking off again

For when I noticed
that you never
cared at all

For how much
you hurt me
all this times before

I want to say I hate you
and point you
to the door

But I can't because
I'd love you to say love me
so much more

x

Come On! Just One More!
