I think ive got everyone so far

Confined

I want to be who I want to be
No more pressure, no more torture
I don't understand why I can't be me
Let me walk in my own two shoes
Even if I fall, I don't want any help from you

I know that life is never really fair
But living with you is more than I can bare

I was born confined but left to break loose
Became more alive, became less confused
I washed my life clean and start anew
I want to be me, I don't want to be you

And I'm tired of not ever doing it perfectly
I'm never correct, I always have to start fresh
I don't know what it is you want from me
The standards you hold are just way to high
If you don't stop choking me I'm afraid that I'll die

Take it or leave it, this is all I have to give
This is who I am, so just let me live

I was born confined but left to break loose
Became more alive, became less confused
I know who I am and I know for sure
I am my own and I am not yours

And I don't know I may make some of my own mistakes too
But I know the mistakes I make won't be made because of you.

Fall Out Boy Lyrics

Reverse This Curse [Glosa Verse]

Stomp out this disaster town.
We're throwing stones at a glass moon.
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds.
Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand.
`````````````````````````
We were throwing words around like they didn't mean a thing -
Hurting each other and destroying everything.
How could we let ourselves down like that?
Rumors and lies replacing all truth and facts.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
Pick up the broken pieces off the ground -
Only you can heal this tattered and bruised heart;
So take my hand and we'll try for a fresh start.
Let's search for the love that we once had around.
"...Stomp out this disaster town."

We can move on, you know we have that strength;
It might be hard, but we could do it, at a length.
So let's forget the past and look ahead -
Remember the good times, not the bad, instead.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
I can feel that our time is coming soon...
So turn on the radio; we'll dance to our song;
It's been stuck in my head all along.
Let's watch as this old clock strikes noon.
"...We're throwing stones at a glass moon."

Who cares what they say? Have we listened before?
Because you and I know we've never wanted nothing more.
Some will talk and others just won't care;
No matter what, I'll always want you there -
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
Forget about what was said or misheard -
So come inside and shut that front door;
I just can't being without you anymore.
Let's stop muttering all these useless words.
"...We bullet the words at the mockingbirds."

You can be my Superman and I'm your Kryptonite -
Some say that we are wrong; let's not ever be right.
We could count the stars or just kiss the sky -
I could be your girl, you could be my guy.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
And maybe, for once, we can understand:
We're the only ones who could fix us now.
I don't know why and I don't know how.
I just want to be better that I am...
"...Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand."

Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.

Haha I don't take lyrics from the songs themselves Jess. I don't know who wrote the song "Reverse This Curse" but in my Glosa I used FOB lyrics. :]

"The Things He Carried" please.

Thanks

The Things He Carried
By: Twisted Heart

Sweet memories, 'tis but a few
Upon his heart they come anew
To fill his mind and stay his breath
Once more tonight, before he rests.

Gentle dreams of summer days
Love felt warmth inside him plays
Such thoughts now fill his mind with ease
Caress his soul so tenderly.

His heart was opened up inside
From love she gave he couldn't hide
For fifty years they loved so deep
Now she is gone, his soul still weeps.

Sweet memories, caress his mind
And takes him back, to better times
When she was there inside his hold
Two hearts combined in one soul.

Tears fall upon the pillow down
Gentle weeps the only sound
Against the lonely night he cries
Love torn loss's lullaby.

Once more he gathers memories
Inside his heart, he places these
To be replayed time and again
Stored and carried deep within.

Please reserve me, "You're Gonna Pay". Thanx :)

You're Gonna Pay

So many years my love had lingered,
For somebody kind and sweet.
So many months my heart had fluttered,
Each smile another beat.

I thought he could be mine,
I wished it with my soul;
But I guess that down the line,
Procrastination took its toll.

I told you all about those three lonesome years,
How he walked me through the journey we call life.
Hearing all his words as he wiped away my tears,
Came blessings that did heal my deep and wandering strife.

I never knew the future had sharper things to grow.
Somebody took him from my grasp,
Somebody took him on the low.
The day I knew, I felt time lasp.

You hurt me with the innocence you tried hard to conceal,
Forced open locks around his heart,
And none of it seemed real.
If only I knew from the start.

Your love surpassed the deep end,
But now you two are "over", and him and I are "in".
I don't think you should know my secret,
I hope this time I'll win.

He's my "playboy" now,
And our friendship is our "mansion",
You don't have to ask me how,
So just avoid the question.

I loved him more than anything,
My heart seemed to hold dear.
With him, there was no worrying,
And I forgot my fears.

Pain is on the bottom and love is on the top.
His jokes are little "magazines" that all come for free,
Our "bunnies" are our artwork that never seems to stop,
My laughter is his energy that helps him fill his "needs".

I think you'll have to pay now, because it is your loss,
As time grows still and wind does drop forever more.
I have him by my side, and we seem to share such thoughts,
And our bond feels so much calmer, as if like before.

I wish this January you would have tried to understand:
You're gonna pay for cheating me out of my fair share.
As we play all these silly games that seem so close at hand,
I am going to laugh at you while you try not to care.

I'm happy where I am, and maybe he is too,
For although we share some thoughts,
I'm as clueless as you.
But our bond is worth a lot.

So, how do you like it, losing to a girl?
I hope some day you'll find someone that will give you a raise,
Somebody who will cherish you and never get you hurt,
I think that soon you'll realize that you're who's gonna pay.

The Arms of Sorrow

Borrowed beneath my skin,
Beneath expression and eyes,
Farther then I've ever known,
It lingers in my cries,

Swept deep inside my heart,
Torn and still tearing,
I cannot tell you how,
But I'll always keep caring,

As I watch your lives unfold,
In love, beauty and grace,
A tear falls to shatter,
And I know I've lost my place,

I'd always take your hand,
Guide you if I could,
You'd always do the same,
And you always would,

For a while I've been blind,
But this is real and here,
I can't hold your wings,
For alone I will fear,

This prickles at my eyes,
As my mind calls to let,
My lip trembles with no word,
But I will never forget,

You have changed my life,
I regret nothing but regret,
Alone I touch no soul,
But I will never forget,

I wish you'd take my hand,
Guide me along with you,
I will never forget,
Each moment I miss you.

11 mas days yall...

there's still 9 people tht reserved, tht haven't submitted their poems...

Confined i would like to unreserve

Ok, i got it...

thanx for telling me
instead of not saying anything

Lyrical Lies [Glosa Verse]

Lines taken from the song Tongue Tied by Faber Drive

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need a little more help than a little bit,
Like the perfect one word no one`s heard yet,
`Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied,
I need a little good luck to get me by this time.

I hold my breath as I stare at his picture on my screen -
Gorgeous, with the brightest green eyes I`ve ever seen;
And I listen to him talk about his latest beautiful desire,
But he doesn`t know that he`s the only one I admire.
He tells me how great she is and just how well they fit,
So I fake a smile and tell him he just needs to admit it,
He says his thanks and goes on with her face in his mind,
But the ideal words to say, I just can`t seem to find -
So I hide my feelings for him, cower away like a hypocrite;
I need a little more help than a little bit.

Tongue tied and so afraid, I sit reading over our notes;
With a lump of resistance stuck inside of my throat,
To tell him or not to tell him, a decision I despise;
He can see the agony, it`s painted through my eyes.
So I watch him talk to her, swallowing my regret;
I had my chance but I put it out like an old cigarette,
And I write out the words to fit with what I feel,
But no metaphors or themes can make it real.
So I lay out my hopes on a blank page, a word to get -
Like the perfect one word no one`s heard yet.

The vodka and tears try their best to leave some room,
For the picture of him and her that I have to consume,
But no matter how hard I force myself to see it,
His hand and hers just aren`t the perfect fit -
But she makes him happy and I can`t see over my pride,
So I lower my head and I try my hardest to hide;
He tells a joke, I fake a smile - when will it end?
I can`t stand beside him and be just his friend.
He asked me if I needed to talk, he`ll never know that I lied -
`Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied.

Naivety had it`s shot, but I`m coming out of this headstrong;
`Cuz they say me and him aren`t right, but I`m never wrong;
My head tells me to let him go, but my heart knows me the best -
So I ignore the devil on my neck and listen to the angel in my chest.
I`m gunnin` for something that I need to have this time,
And I`ll set out to make all of my wrong words somehow rhyme;
`Cuz I could cover him in lyrical lies but nothing would fit,
So I`m gonna force the chorus and he can work with it;
I`m not gonna let him go and run away on my dime,
I need a little good luck to get me by this time.

Sympathy of Voices

Your name is pounding through my veins.
Holding on with all that remains...
Tumbling over all the good-bye`s...
Is my broken heart - still beating:
Through the memories repeating;
Of the yesteryears and their lies.
Your picture talks to me at night:
Sympathy of voices, and fright -
For the one who shines in your eyes.
