i would like to try... the beginning of the end... plz...

thanx!!!

I'll take " My Violent Heart. "

Thanks. :]

My Violent Heart.

Verse 1:
Tears bestowed upon them.
Fear along with pain.
For what you've done
shall put their hearts in vein.
Forgotten yet remembered.
That past will be the past.
But, today was a new start..
And, you pushed it by too fast.

Verse 2:
Your own two daughters,
wondering if he'll stay.
Your own two daughters,
broken this very day.
My silent heart can't take this.
Rapidly, rage is building up.
For, you've taken too much control.
And, they're beginning to corrupt.

Verse 3:
My mind's ready to explode,
My eyes can't watch it any longer.
You say you want the best for them,
but you're not making them any stronger.
Weaker and weaker the two become.
Until, the end is beneath their nose.
Weaker and weaker the two become.
When he'll leave, neither knows.

Verse 4:
The trials they go through.
Three dad's within nine years,
This one may leave again
And, that's their biggest fear.
My silent heart; silent no longer.
My exploding mind; exploding no longer.
My burned eyes; burning no longer..
For, my violent heart has become stronger.

-Echos-
"My silent heart; silent no longer.
My exploding mind; exploding no longer.
My burned eyes; burning no longer..
For, my violent heart has become stronger."

Verse 5: [Ending]
I'm ready to change the way you think.
The truth shall come out, and set them free.
And, you shall realize that..
You and him aren't meant to be.

-------------------------------------------------
Okay, I realize there is no chorus, but when I reserved the title, I had this whole Idea in my head of what I was going to write.
But, I got inspired to write about someone else, instead of myself. So, that's what I did..

don't even worry about it. there are no requirements regarding choruses, verses, bridges or anything like that.

anybody else who wants to enter???

no more???

im sorry, but im gonna have to like... unreserve

ok thats cool, thank you for telling me!

Another Version of the Truth

I’m staring out the window
While you’re talking away
Doing everything I can
Except hearing what you say.

I just shrug my shoulders
Nod my head now and again.
I know it doesn’t matter
It ends like it begins

BRIDGE:
You say everything is looking good
Things are going as they should
But there’s something that isn’t right.
Maybe we could use a little space
Take us at a slower pace
I can tell you’re about to take flight.

CHORUS:
You say it’s just a break
Some time to think over me and you.
Baby don’t lie
That’s just another version of the truth.

It’s going on two weeks now
Since I’ve heard from you
I expected this to happen
Why can’t you say we’re through

Finally my phone starts ringing
It still plays your favorite song
I hear your voice on the line
And those words follow along

BRIDGE:
You say everything is looking good
Things are going as they should
But there’s something that isn’t right.
Maybe we could use a little space
Take us at a slower pace
I can tell you’re about to take flight.

CHORUS:
You say it’s just a break
Some time to think over me and you.
Baby don’t lie
That’s just another version of the truth.

thank you for the add! although I might close the thread early because I'm a little weak on reserves.

Can i have Capital G please?

do they have to be the same style or about the same topic as the real song?

not at all, it's your intepretation and whatever style you feel best suits the song. This is totally open. It is all about creativity! :)

Aww nvm. i was gonna do Capital G in a mockery towards many people in my shcool who claim to be 'gangtas' but.. its taken -sigh-

but ill think ill write one anyways. so thanks for the inspiration!

your very welcome! I wish you luck ony our endeavours!

Xx Capital G xX

You stand there glaring at me
But sweetie, I don't care
You're wasting your own energy
So go ahead and stare

You're a pathetic little girl
I'm really not scared of you
If you've got a problem
Then it's all your own issue

Cos I'm not rising to the bait
You're really not worth my time
If you think I get upset
You must be out your mind

Cos I stopped crying long ago
You're just not worth my tears
So listen to what I'm going to say
Let it sink into your ears

You're a pointless human being
And you'll never get to me
So take your name calling somewhere else
My name's Gem with a capital G...

*Gem*

(Meh...)

The Great destroyer please.

Ehhh. Sorry I took so long. =/.
See, I had writers block and just didn't have any time. But then, Spring Break arrived and I realized I was commited to so many contests . . . and I don't like to fail people who are counting on me. So, I stayed up and wrote all the poems I was supposed to . . . and I'm actually glad I did. I'm proud of what came out. Anyways... Here it is:
----------------------------
Me, I'm Not {Trijan Refrain}

I am a dream of correction,
A naughty you can't touch.
I will be your new infection --
A cost that's way too much.
I will starve you of our dreams;
It is much harder than it seems.
....I will starve you.
....I will starve you.
I will strip you of our dreams

I am a dream of correction,
A devil of a guy.
I am not made of erections;
My heart you cannot buy.
Secrets within my duration,
I am an imagination.
....Secrets within.
....Secrets within.
Erections are a guy's inflation.

I am a dream of correction,
But now my tale must end,
I'm just an imagination,'
A truth you have to bend.
Me, I am not, lies I have told,
But heart and body I've not sold.
....Me, I'm not.
....Me, I'm not.
I may be lies, but my heart's gold.

--------------------------
Understanding: This is speaking of a guy who is not like other guys; he think with his heart not his . . . other thing. o.O
---------------------------

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines.
Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line
at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different.
The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8.
The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:

Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c

Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8
