~*Who Cares?*~

Yay! First post! hehe. Firstly I just want to say, Happy New Years to All!!! Hope 2006 Goes Great!

Blessed is...

Blessed is the heart, not afraid to love deeply.
Pure is the soul that lives life sweetly.
Seeing the world through rose coloured glasses,
Cherishing seconds, as each minute passes.

Content is thee, who in dark remainds bright.
Good will to he, who in fog still has sight.
Intelligents will come after mistakes have been made,
Learning from doing, making wrong's fade.

Strength is awarded when suffering bared,
A hand held protected, when compassion shared.
Never taking for granted, leaves one thankful.
Holding close to their heart, everything they are greatful.

People are heard, when to others they listen.
Respect is gained, when respect is risen.
Loud is the voice, that sometimes speaks weakly.
Blessed is the heart, not afraid to love deeply.

Diet Pills
by Sarah Drew

Why do they all do that to themsleves
They think they have to be perfect
That they're never good enough

So they take some pills
Get surgery,
Or skip some meals
When all that does is make them sick

They're slowly killing themselves
For what they see as beautiful
They torture they're bodies

They all have to look like the girls on T.V.
They all want to be the image of perfection
When really there is no such thing

So they take all those pills
And slowly massacre themsleves
Slowly fading away to nothing

They think that if they lose enough weight
Dress all the same
Or act a certain way
That they will get everything they want

But in fact all these things cause
Are pain, suffering, and death

I am sorry I have not been perfect,
During my eighteen years of life.
I am sorry you think I am anorexic,
And that I live life by a knife.
I am sorry I am not the same little girl,
That I was a short time ago.
I am sorry that I feel so much pain inside,
And that you have yet to see me grow.
I am sorry you must look into these cold eyes,
And that I have no confidence left to spare.
I am sorry that I like being away from you,
And that you hate the clothes I wear.
I am sorry for keeping things from you,
And for all my self-destruction.
I am sorry for making you yell at me,
And for causing you have that reaction.
I am sorry for all the times I have sided with Dad,
And for not feeling a bit of guilt.
I am sorry for being the reason you damaged,
The relationship we could have built.
I am sorry for using your best kitchen knife,
To slit my wrist for the first time.
I am sorry for making time spent with me,
Have to feel like a crime
I am sorry for not giving you hugs when you want them,
And I am sorry for resenting you.
I am sorry for not having the same beliefs,
And for always making you argue.
I am sorry I do not like you,
And that I cannot forget things you have said.
I am sorry that each and every day,
Those words go through my head.
I am sorry for never calling,
And that I do not miss you at all.
I am sorry you had to see me at my worst,
Sorry you had to see me fall.
I am sorry I am not the perfect daughter,
And that I am not who you thought I would be.
I am sorry, mother, for letting you down,
I am so sorry for being me.

Forget Me

Wake up and breathe,
You should be happy now, you're rid of me!
Smile and live again,
For you bare nothing, I hold the shame!

Laugh and flirt,
For she will never know of all the ones you've hurt!
Live and take her out,
For she has no reason, your honesty to doubt....

Forget me,
For you couldn't see,
See, all the damage carved into my heart,
For I am the victim of the love YOU tore apart!

Carry on with your life,
For this is not your battle, it's my strife.
Go out and make new friends,
For your life is not the life that will end!

Place her on a pedastel, Hold her high,
For she is not the girl you caused to cry!
Catch her when she falls for you,
For surely that is what you want her to do!

Forget me, I don't exist,
Like the blood that pumps from your heart to your wrists....
Forget me, I am nothing at all,
For I am shattered.... You never caught my fall!!!

~*W.C?*~

HEY everyone.. happy 2006! well i sure hope its better than last year haha.. but anyway, my poem is called "Reckless Emotion" .....

At the edge with no grasp,
Its inevitable Ill fall
Deeper emotionally,
Then ever thought at all.

Ive crashed into my thoughts,
defenseless against pain I cannot prevent.
You're killing me softly
With feelings that Ive always meant

I have a reckless emotion
But you intimidate my actions
A captivating feeling,
Nothing, but mere distractions.

My voice is broken,
As words seem impossible to say,
Your enticing glances
Are what makes a better day.

It isnt just your stare,
Nor the thought of what love could be,
But the feelings that you make me feel,
Right here right now,
Its just you, being here with me.

Best Friends

We became friends, and then without even knowing it
We became the best friends everyone dreams about.
We laughed together, cried together, and even
Told our deepest and darkest secrets to each other.
And trusted one another with everything we had.

We knew that when summer came, our friendship
Would be tested since we lived almost three hours apart.
It was a hard summer, being without your best friend,
But we talked on the phone, and even seen each other
The few times that we could manage to get away.

We finally made it back, back to college where
We could see each other daily and talk.
But then something happened, you started dating a guy,
Who was always there and actually cared about you.
And this affected our friendship more than we thought.

Our first actual fight was the beginning of the end of
What could have been a life long beautiful friendship.
A guy, who would have thought something like that,
Could end an untouchable bond between two people.
I never thought our friendship could end.

Best friends are suppose to rely on each other,
Expect them to be there to help you when life hits you hard,
But thats when I realized our friendship was in trouble.
When I needed you most, to tell me everything
Would be OK but you were no where near.

Within one year, two friends once so close, find it hard
To even say hi, much less hold a conversation.
When I left college, you promised we'd still remain close,
But in life's tragedies and heartaches I realized
We are best friends, but only in a dream.

wow...i have a feeling this contest is going 2 b very hard 2 judge....btw i 4got 2 say wen id give u ppl the results..ill tri n give em the 18th or 19th....

~*Who Cares?*~

The power...

You smile, as I pass you by.
I cry, for those who frown.
They change, and pass it down.
They greet, and live life on.

So now I ask you,
for there, it cant be true,
a smile went on,
and life went too.

A simple thing...
an impossible dream...
solved with a smile...
as it would seem...

So now I do,
what I can.
Evertime I try,
everytime I win.

I smile, I pass it on.
She blushes, realising what to do.
A present, bringing joy to the needy.
And I feel better, knowing it was all you.

Paragraph 1
(For those who dont get it.
You smile at me,
I mourn for a family loss,
They give to the needy,
Needy live longer and happier lives.)
Paragraph 5
(I smile at a girl,
she finds something she could do to make someone happy,
Gives to needy child,
Im happy :3)

My Innocence
--------------------

To loose my self
In my own thoughts

To cultivate my being
Within my own terms

To Detach from the make believe scene
To shed off my costumes
And clear off my make up

To keep aside reservations
And commitments

To Step aside
While the charade passes by

To loose my sanity
But for a moment
Would be a blessing

Alas,
Dear friend
We are unquestionably
Trapped within life's doors

What wouldn't I give
In exchange for the neutrality
The indifference

My innocence

My childhood...

What a price we had to pay
To step into the adulthood

i am very pushy on gettin more ppl...so come on ppl submit! u kno u want 2....NO MATTER WAT U GET 1 R/C!!!! plz?!

~*Who Cares?*~

Microscopic Insanity

when you first stepped in, your color was black. a world of infinite dawning and mirror of night. each footfall, you seemed to shift colors; your patterns intricate, like a snowflake. from here, the moon was robbed and day brought to life. the thief that he was, your color turned a dull, shackled orange; the words shot back into your mouth. i could taste the lies, but just as sensation was applied, we were stripped down and burnt alive. you notice that now, the world around you is but a burning red.

and that shackles are useless to those who fly,..

spiralling deeper into the wound
i taste the cherry scent of sweet
experience
but not before character was removed

and white was the prevailing mood.

So I Hide

I hide behind a smile
a lighthearted grin
while my insides turn
end over end.

I tire from acting
as if all is ok
put on this show
to keep you in my day.

I miss you when with you
if that makes sense at all
knowing I'll be without you
come night fall.

I bury my feelings
with untrue alibis
hang up the phone
hold a pillow and cry.

It doesn't seem masculine
feeling this inside
but I need you in my life
and so I hide.

"Apart of me"

For the longest time
My lips were sealed
But my deepest secret
Now revealed

I always wondered
Deep inside
How life would be
By a fathers side

I wish I knew
At least your name
I wish I knew
Just who to blame

I blame myself
I feel as though
It`s all my fault
You didn`t watch me grow

Was I not good enough
To make you stay
Am I the reason
You walked away

You deprived me
Of a fathers love
You deprived me
Of a loving fathers hug

I went through life
Acting as if I didn`t care
That you, my father
Were never there

It bothered me inside
In my heart I knew I was sad
That to me you`re a stranger
The father I never had

Deep in my heart
To fate I plea
To see the man
That is one half apart of me.

Shining In My Heart

Do you remember the days,
When we had long ways to go,
And I was there for you,
As you were there for me.
The sun was shining brightly,
Down on us so gently,
We knew that could go on.

Hand in hand, forever and always,
we would run, but never enough,
Did an angel know when it was time to sleep?
Or were we just to have fun.
On and on, the hours are ticking away

On on, the memories go astray.
I miss the days of the sun,
And please, I'd rather be with you.
I still remember the days, when we had a long time to share.

And then I came back,
And I saw you there,
Not as tired as I used to feel,
I said hello, not knowing what to do.
You smiled a very thin smile.
Soon we knew we would go on.
Together on a journey towards our dreams.

Hand and hand, forever and always.
We would run, and didn't even care,
How far away we were from where we belonged.

I'd rather be with you,
Sweet summer breeze,
Or fall's leaves,
Through wintry skys,
And the blossoms of spring.
friends and their laughter
Precious and kind.
Let them shine in my heart.

The Avalance Pt. 1

Troubled times, happy days-
Watching the slideshow in my head to fill up the space.
Reliving the agony, the horror, the heartbreak;
Numbly moving on, carefully placing each step I take.

Reminders, they bring back memories-
Haunting, taunting, tormenting me.
Closing my eyes, I see it all;
Before my eyes, my rise to my fall.

I'm still falling, catch me if you can.
On the edge of the cliff, stretch out your hand.
Be my savior, my hero - whatever you want;
Let the lies epitomize you as what you're not.

I still reach out, speak out; I claw my way up
My fear of heights I won't realize if I always look up.
No more stumbling for me, I say as I climb;
But guarantees are only made by time.

Trembling, quaking - it's roaring below
I say goodbye to the life I have always known.
And the moment eternal as I let my fingers let go...
Then I leap out from the edge, my end sure to know.

I'm still falling, catch me if you can.
On the edge of the cliff, stretch out your hand.
Be my savior, my hero, whatever you want;
Let the lies epitomize you as what you're not.

No more falling, catch me you can't.
On the edge of the cliff, you didn't even stretch out your hand.
I have no savior, no hero - there's no one to rescue me.
As I lie here, broken, I can finally be free.

yea this is more like it...lots of entrys:)

A Melodious Failure
by HansRik

The fire that devours its every obliteration
Creating wasteful memories of a bygone abstraction
In the pathetic diminuendo of this futility,
Playing the horrid notes of this dissonance.

A painful recollection of putrid sentiments,
Burning from within, breaking into irrelevant fragments.
Crows and frogs bawl this pain in unison,
Portraying all the truths of this remembrance.

The wanderers of this timeless world
May also try, and fail, their love to hold
Knowing not that all such attempts are vain,
For love is the fire that consumes it all with its trance.

The shadows of these erratic melodies,
Will always crawl in their pitiable atrocities,
And the echoes from within emptiness
Laugh at the one who loved and lost his stance.

This senseless pain consuming the skins
Of treacherous mistakes and malapropisms
That decay forever in the pointless senses.
Such horrendous prevarications must not be glanced.

The taste and smell of death
Have filled the sterile, lifeless earth
Where desolate silhouettes roam with no purpose.
Inhospitable Loneliness is no longer subject to chance.

Vultures eat the Lovers' carcasses,
These foolish creatures that perfidy caresses.
The deadly souls sing of their failures,
Creating the eternal Largo of Romance.

This sinful and spiteful malice
Of a composition for these fetid lies.
The harmony of the spheres plays in Sorrow,
For this death shall not end, in its appalling silence.

If you are accepting two posts per poet, here is my second one:

The Elegy of the Lovers
by HansRik

I cannot say in words how much I've loved
For words help not t'express the lover's wish.
Canst thou not see the pain of being unloved?
Or more the languid dolence we anguish?

Now I have lost yon opportunity,
The fire of love has burned this heart of mine
Crying, waning, yonder atrocities
Committed for love, for this thought of thine.

But I shall make myself an oak that stands
Upon thy doors and howls thy name fore'er.
And nevermore this pain will understand,
The love I have for thee, my dear girl.

The hills that sing and dream about thy love
Think not that they shall be eroded, yea,
The willows chant their elegy forgone,
And rot in fetid, rancid ideals.

And walkest thou in vainest thoughts and lies,
Laughing at the trees and hills that, for you, died.
Waiting for mine heart to expire its last sighs.

How beautiful thou seem'st outside,
The sun is but a phantom by thy side.

But nay!

Thy soul is cruel and cold, like the darkest night.

Showing Love in Many Ways

Looking back at my past
There’s no way I could’ve made it
Without you in my life, by my side
Making everything right.

There have been others before you
But no one comes as close as you do.
You’ve shown me so much love
Unlike anyone else ever has.

You show you’re love in many different ways
You’ve held me close in your arms
Kissed my lips so tenderly
And just stayed with me when I needed you.

How could I ever repay you
For all you’ve done for me?
The only thing that comes to mind
Is do the same you’ve done for me.

I’ll show my love in many different ways
I’ll hold you close in my arms
Kiss your lips so tenderly
And just stay with you when you need me.

Being with you makes me feel special
Lying in your arms, I’m safe
No one could ever harm me
Just as long as I stay in your arms.

As you lean your head on me
I smooth back your hair, and kiss your forehead
Holding onto you, I never let go
Caressing your face, you fall asleep next to me.

We show our love in many different ways
We hold each other in our arms
Kiss each other’s lips so tenderly
And stay together for all time.

Addiction To Love

Shes Longing To Sink Into His Eyes
She Wants To Feel Comfort If She Cries
She Wants To Be Shield From All The Noise
Just By Means Of His Gentle Voice.

Shes Longing To Stroke Through His Hair
She Wants To Give All She Could Share
She Wants To Be Touched On Her Skin
As A Sign Of All The Hopes They Pin.

Shes Longing To Warm Up In His Arms
She Wants To Be Spared All The Harms
She Wants That He Cannot Get Enough
Because She Is Addicted To His Love.

wow this competition is gunna b hard since there r so many entrys n every1 is so good!!

Soon to be forgotten
by Marjan

This poem tells how short a life can be.
And we should get up and do something
Useful before it gets too late.

by marjan

Hours fly by
At a speed oh so high
Another page is turned
Someone’s life has burned
Just an unimportant figure
In an old wooden frame
Soon to be forgotten
Through the shades of time
Through the mist of mind
Hidden behind a veil of dust
Another time, another place
A new year to face
I can feel a shiver
down in my stomach
an electric shock
that is sent through my body
trying to wake me up
shakes me
brings me to an understanding
sound of raindrops
reminds me of each passing second
another time, another day,
another year gone
another person to be born
a new day is begun.

'kay, here's my poem, i hope you like it...i think it's exactly 50 words. lol!!!!

broken.

your words slice through me
sharp as a knife
my blissful happiness is gone
because of this strife
each day is the same
you break me, then put me back together
i'll go in my room to hide
when i come out, you act like you don't remember
you don't see how hurt i am
even though it's so clear
and no matter how many times i cry
you don't see a single tear
you don't understand how much pain you cause me
you'll never understand my sorrow
you don't know how many times i pray
that it'll be better tomorrow
but it'll never be better
for when i think there's finally peace
it's all torn away
it comes to a cease
i end up broken
just like before
all the suffering i've gone through
i'll go through once more
i wish you'd stop this yelling
it makes me feel like such a failure
you don't realize what you're doing
my life is becoming my nightmare
my memories are haunting me
i'm restless every night
i cannot fall asleep
all i can do is cry
the next day you come up to me
you put me together again
then you say you're sorry
and you think you've been forgiven
but there's something different now
something is not right
for a piece of me is missing
one that's beyond your sight
i feel like all my true happiness is gone
i'm in this deep depression
but nobody will ever know this
for i'm lying and pretending
i'll never show how i really feel
unless you're someone i trust
you'll never see a single tear shed
in public my pain turns to dust
but no matter what i lead you to believe
inside i am crying silently
for i know if things keep going this way
my nightmare will become my reality

Little Angel

Lost between the fingertips of broken reality,
Searching for the souls of modern mortality.
Within the nightmare encasing her mind,
Lies the shattered dream her heart confined.

Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.

A thousand fortune stories told from lies,
Choose a deck of cards and pay your price.
For a soul is nothing for the broken to give,
'Cause its just a painful memory to relive.

Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.

Shadows surround a once perfect heart,
Erase the shadows for a new start.
Turn out the light, the shadow disappears,
To find pure darkness the heart fears.

Little angel spread your wings,
In this land of the mourning and things.
You feed on sorrows and destroy the peace,
Devil's angel, you've found the release.

this is called '...but now I am found'

Engulfed by her welcoming wing,
on her two feet I stand.
Her beauty overshadows me and I
recall the overwhelming jealousy.

My emerald eyes are spiked,
with tears of losing her.
I cower in her wake as she protects
me from my clumsy failed attempts to strive.

Clinging on, I push her away,
and find comfort in her shadow.
I'm taunted by her excellence, although
I'ts always me to paint the picture green.

And then I see the sunlight;
I venture from her loving warmth,
and crawl away from everything I know
to seek my own mistakes in solitude.

Triumphantly I greet the welcome breeze,
uncovering myself, I set her free
and the glory astounds me.

But gone is the laughter together we shared,
the fun that we had and
the secrets we beared.

I miss the amenities friendship provides,
courageous and honest, I conquer the lies.
Pardon my arrogance, Lord
Forgive my deceit,
Your prodigal son has returned. Amen

within her soul

When i look into her soul i see,
the brightest angel there can be,
but her shine has been lost,
imprisoned in her own little mind.

when i look into her soul i see,
the purest of girls there have ever lived,
but then i see all around it,
streaks of black battering through.

when i look into her soul i see,
one of the sweetest girls i've met,
but her sweetness is engulpged,
by all of her haterade and pain.

when i look deep inside,
i see the tare that crosses her heart,
i see the tears she sheds each day,
i see the way she hurts all round.

when i look deep i see her soul,
i see the kindness and the smile,
i see the beauty inside,
i see all that she can be.

her hope is lost,
but will be gained,
she hurt all day,
but will find her smile,
she trusts no-one,
but one day her heart she'll find

ne1 else?
~*W.C?*~

The fight that changed our lives
I hear the yelling and screaming
I feel the vibrations of the banging
I hear the screams of bad words coming
From your mouth
I hear you say I am leaving and not coming back
You can’t leave just like that you have kids
What are you going to do for the kids?
How do you think we will feel?
Bet you don’t even care
Care that I am hear crying
Care that you are about to walk out of 4 different kids life
But you didn’t even think that we needed you
That we loved you
You leave with out saying bye
Hear I am the oldest child
Your first daughter
Crying cause you are walking out my life
Then you see me running after you
Yelling mommy don’t leave please don’t leave me
You stop and say Jenn I love you and all your brothers and sisters
Don’t forget that
You drive off and just leave me crying
Do you really love me?
Cause if you did you will not have left me
Now hear I am and I’m needing a mom
We all need a mom
How is Gillian and Chloe going to grow up?
With out a mom to go to
Am I supposed to take that role?
The role of a mother when I am not ready
I walk back in the house and I look at daddy
I see he is crying just sitting on the sofa and crying
I bet you did not even know that this man loved you
Loved you enough that the next thing I know is that
He was getting in the car coming after you
That day you did not come back
But please do know that he is still looking
Looking for you; he has not stopped and it’s been
Over a year
Moms wherever you are he wont stop looking for you
Mom you were wrong to leave I was not ready for this mother job
I was not ready to be on my own with out a mother
You were wrong when you said that dad did not love you
He does love you and that’s why he is out till this day looking for you
Mom we all love and miss you and we all hate that you left but we all
Forgave you so please come back come back for the kids come back for dad
Do it for the family I don’t want the role of a mother when I am still in need
For a mother and Gillian and Chloe including me needs our real mother around
We need you mom cant you see that we all miss and love and forgave you for leaving but now we need you around I hope you see this poem because it’s coming from my hart and all I can say now is
PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU

contest is almost over so u bettr hurry guys n gals!

Graffitti Skies

The tension upon the faces part,
The scarce beauty and twinkling lights,
The tide is in and the hearts are sharp,
The stars burning upon the nights,

The waves ripple time a graceful saint,
The laughter behind the cosmetic masks,
A friendship holds the popular taint,
The liquid dined on captured in casks,

The bottles of courage are drunk at the local pub,
The grotesque hide in their houses of wax,
The enemies are coming in their lethal sub,
"You're going to die" is sent by fax,

March us unto our suicidal grunge,
Rip us to our stand and let the bombs fly,
Into the shallow we start to plunge,
Salute the Captain when the end is nigh,

We have to respect the ones who rape the young,
Deprive us of our future with agression,
The deranged are imagining the old songs that were sung,
It won't matter, those who survive will die of deppression,

The gown of the young maiden stripped from her frame,
Graduation was so long ago,
But of course they feel no shame,
He forces her one sacrifical blow.

Emma
*Wings*

Please tell me you're okay
Because i know that somethings wrong
I don't know you like i used to
I feel I've been away too long

Say that you'll be fine
and say it like it's true
Those were never tears of happiness
Because your smiles are just so few

prove you'll be alright
By not shedding a tear
I'll help you if you tell me
Your feelings are unclear

Show me you can smile
And mean it from the heart
But do not let me in
Because I'll tear you apart

~Suzie~

I lost her by: Tim Bradshaw

The phone rang late one night,
I couldn't believe my ears.
They said my love was hit by a car,
And I exploded into tears.

They rushed her to the hospital,
That's where I seen her.
I wanted to take her pain away,
I wanted to be the cure.

They said she wasn't conscious,
But I knew she heard me.
I told her everything would be okay,
As I prayed upon my knees.

I sat beside her for two days,
Waiting for her to open her eyes
So we could talk one more time,
And she could watch the sun rise.

The doctor came and said it's time,
They said sorry but it's true.
Its time to pull the plug on her,
It was the only thing to do.

So I said please let me,
It's the least that I could do.
Baby rest in peace I'll be there soon,
And don't ever forget that I'll always love you.
