Bi-Daily Contest - 10/27 to 10/28

Don't post after the date on the thread, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Rules, you may ask?

1. No slang.
2. One poem per poet per day.
3. Try to keep 'em short; don't repetedly post huge poems and expect me to read them all the way through.
4. No explicit poems.
5. Don't be offended by my final judgement.

Post your poems here.

Corridors wind, for miles on end,
My heart grows heavy, as the stairs descend.
A trail of tears, fall behind me as I go,
No one can understand my pain, my whoa.
The world is dark, and it's so cold,
All people do is yell, cheat, and scold.
My heart has broken, a time to many,
I would trade my life for a penny.
You used to be the one, who kept me alive,
But without you my life has taken a nosedive.
How could you do this to me, you've left me alone,
No more hanging out, and talking on the phone.
My life is back to how it was,
My life is full of lies and flaws.
I bet no one would miss me, if I dropped dead now,
Well, then this is my death poem, goodbye and ciao!

Graham Cracker Kisses
By: Amanda Bee

Here you come from across the room
Still a little unsteady on your feet
Clutching your pacifier in one hand
Holding your bottle between two tiny teeth

You've got your eyes on the prize
Your radar's led you to my graham crackers
Now there's no where for me to hide
Here comes my little cookie snatcher

You've anticipated my next move
As I quickly hide them behind my back
You simply quiver your lower lip
Knowing I'm defenseless against such an attack

So I go ahead and hand them over
(Hey, I didn't really want them anyway!)
Then you allow me to cover your face with kisses
(Well, it's the least that you could pay.)

With cookie crumbs on your chubby cheeks
With cookie crumbs in your chubby fists
You crawl up into my lap and
Give me the sweetest graham cracker kiss

Once again you've played unfairly
All in order to get your way
Once again I've let you win
The same way I do everyday

Beat It Away By ItalianStallion

Another Monday wish it was a Sunday
I'll just say that I'm not here
to many times before I've been caught up in a storm
but I don't really care at all

beat it away
beat it away
nobody cares what I do
or what I say

sometimes I feel like nothing is going right
and the feelings here to stay
but another day is when I feel OK
all the feelings start to go away

beat it away
beat it away
nobody cares what I do
or what I say

another Monday wish it was a Sunday
I'll just say that I'm not here
to many times before I've been caught up in a storm
but I don't really care at all

beat it away
beat it away
nobody cares what I do
or what I say

~This is a Song I wrote~

I'll try my hardest
by Just Rain

(It's a song I'm making up right now)

Everyone,this is something
I wrote for the world to hear.
It's something I have to bottle up.
Something that brings up our little fears.

~

I've been walking for so long
Seeing whatever comes my way
Nothing I can hide behind
And still my past remains

I don't have a million dollars
To buy everyone's hearts
I don't have all the world's wonders
So what I have won't take me far

And I know it's nothing I can't shelter all my life
My poor eyes are as weak as my bones
But my heart slaves away
Day by day

I grew up in the hardest city,and here I am clinging to nothing
Walking an empty road that goes on and on
Please accept me for my broken heart
Can't tell all the words my mouth fails to say
It can't occupy the widest pages,so my life might fade away

Don't stop when I tell you that the world has caked my soul
Just tell me it's okay when I don't win the gold
Let me stay-all the way-every day
The way I am, because I'll never be good enough

But I'll try my hardest,try my best
To walk the empty road when no one offers their hands
Forever and ever and ever it'll be
Just promise,please promise not to lose me again...

The Game Of Life
by ~Łost ₣airy~

Im tired and sick of this life,
I feel sleepy and wanna die,
I do not have the strength to get up,
What more to move on with my life,
Its hurting me in and out everyday,
I do not want to continue this game of life,
But I cant stop once I started,
The only way is to win this game,
When you lose, replay the game,
Never ever give up and continue playing,
The more you lose,
The more lessons youll get,
And it will help you improve,
The next time youre on,
I bet youll win.

The Breeze and I (Rictameter)

Shaking
and shivering,
i heard the sticks and leaves -
their crumbling sound of desertion -
as you slipped between the trees and faded.
like a tired sigh; all at once
the breeze lifted itself
we stood alone,
shaking

The Most Beautiful Thing In The World

The Most Beautiful Thing In The World
Does not exist
For it's hidden somewhere
We can't go
We have our opinions
But they'll never surpass this
As in this thing it's what everyone does not know
It's not on earth
Not in hell or heaven
But don't worry
It's here
It's inside each and every one of us
Just yell if you find it
It will always be near

IT BELONGED TO YOU......

Long and linger without a thought,
We met in the middle of a lip lock.
Speechless and confused, my first kiss belonged to you,
For me I'm in heaven, for you this makes a few.
But this was a moment I will savor,
For every kiss has a unique flavor.
But I remember the one I shared with you,
Everyone is different, now I've had my few.

But I will always remember my first kiss ....
....It belonged to you

Suicide Asleep

A forsaken blade
Revealed silent pain
Blood thirsty metal
Is set to my vein
I cant stop it
This unhealthy obsession
I've done it for years
Without learning a lesson
I'm coated in denial
As the blood begins to slice
Blood coats everything
Touched by this harmful knife
Blood starts dripping
As I start to cry
I think why I'm living
If we're living to die
Soaked in blood
I lie on the floor
I told you once
Life isnt worth it anymore
The room darkens
Heavy eyelids grow
The pain, the hurt
I just let it go
I los tlifes battle
I have been beat
Now and forever I'm
Suicide asleep
Katie Bennett
