To my daddy...
by Latasha

Daddy today at school a boy asked me if I believed in god,
With a smile on my face I said, "Yes."
Just like you wanted me to daddy.
I never realized my answer would cost me my life.

The boy pulled the trigger,
Without thinking twice.
He made me drown in my sea of blood,
As I wonder how he could be so cruel.

But daddy I know I made you proud,
And I forgive this boy,
He made a mistake,
And one day daddy he will pay.

Daddy, whats happening to me?
My voice is going faint,
And I can barely see you any more.
Daddy, I'm getting to weak.

Daddy, I'm going to be with mommy in heaven.
Please tell everyone I will be OK,
And tell sister and brother I love them,
And one day we will meet again,
Just like you told me we would daddy.

**this is about a girl who died because she believed in god...*

DUI Teenager
by Julie Harris

Sitting against the pavement
Rain pouring on my face
Rain that covers my tears
Silently saying sorry
to the ones that were hit

Cradling my head into my hands
I say to myself
"I shouldn't have gotten into the car"
"I shouldn't have taken those keys"
"I shouldn't have taken those drinks"

So many questions
Coming toward my way
Little did I know
the consequences that
were about to come next

Body Bags
One by one are filled
For I have killed
Alot more than just one
Just one innocent man

Eating away at my mind
I still look in the car
I look and see a baby
Just lying there
Upside down

Tears are now visible
No rain could hide them now
I have just killed a family of five
and leave a baby in a coma
Her life is ruined now

The sound of hand cuffs
Are tightened around my wrists
Metal chains wrap my ankles
"What was I thinking drinking like this"

I look and see
that I'm on a bridge
So high, like a bird
Soaring freely with
no worries to hold

I take my chance
Run like a plane
Take that leap off the bridge
I'll kill myself this time

Get other body bag out
For just throw me in a pile
of wastless dirt
Thats what I am, just other
DUI teenager

Who has killed God's creation
Such beautiful creation
That creation was man
Men and women
And Children

These Words

I am an illusionist spinning
Another web of deception.
This smile forced on my lips
Leaves behind a bloody kiss.
I know that I could return to
My normal self if I knew who I was.

These words are all that
I have when my charm fails.
Another syllable burned on my
Tongue when I lose my faith.
Broken thoughts that trail
From my fingertips when I write.

A magician never tells her
Secrets when she performs.
I keep my secrets tucked down
Inside until I feel myself drown.
All that I am is a facade sitting
There in front of you made of stone.

Stone that breaks when you
Come too close. I shatter.
Nobody comes to rescue me
When I dissolve into dust.
Just another tear that trickles
Down an innocent face.

Stupid
by Tara-Kay

"It isn't stupid", she says, "It's just me"
It's something deep that you can't see.
She's losing her mind, she's going insane.
She can't deal with all this pain.

What can She do to make it go away?
Believe her, there is nothing you can do or say.
She picks up her precious little blade,
Shaking like mad, she is afraid.

One little cut across her wrist,
She's fighting hard, trying to resist.
Its not enough, she cuts again,
She's crying now, getting rid of the pain.

"It isn't stupid", she says, "It's just me"

Why has this happened?
by Alyson

My troubles are long gone
Now I'm standing here
In this desolate world
Alone and abandoned

All around me are the ruins
Of once grand buildings
Broken and shattered
Until they no longer exist

The harsh winds blow dust
Across the face of this vast land
Leaving the fields barren
Where food no longer grows

Most rivers have run dry
Leaving behind cracked earth
That screams in the night
For help

Tears slide silently down my cheeks
As I look at what this worlds become
Its no longer grand or beautiful
But dry and unforgiving

Why has this happened?
I say its because of our sins
All the wrongs that we've done
And all the beliefs we've held against others

*This holds a message can you find it?

Wake up.

"So when are you gonna wake up?
And realize that you're living a lie
Your life isn't picture perfect
So why do you even try?"

This is what her consiousn is telling her
She needs to listen in order to learn
But its become a daily process
And there's no place to turn.

She doesn't want to be a fake
Someone who covers her tears
With her pretty broke smile
She's hidden all of her fears

She know she's unhappy
And it's not a weird chemical mixture
Its not something you can fix
When you're like a broken picture.

"If I can be strong for my friends
Without any showing any exposure
Just maybe finally one day
I can let go of my composure"

Oh the lies she told herself
Just to soothe her shattered soul
She just couldn't face reality
She couldn't take control

She knows she has a problem
But who could she confide in?
NOt her mother or best friend
She knew she couldn't win?

She couldn't turn to anyone
She was in this all alone
She couldn't take the pain
Her heart had turn to stone

She had nothing to depend on
Gave up on her hopes and dreams
She just couldn't control her life
She couldnt stop those silent screams

How wasn't my poem eligible?

Not in heaven
by Even roses have thorns

At the grave
they all circle around
everyone knows the face
but no one knows the person
the name they've heard
no one murmurs a word
the tears show
no one knows why
the girl they knew
one life to never be retold
the outside showed happiness
but bitterness inside
such pain
and the happy cover
"sharpened knife
please take my life"
were often her words
when no one was around
now only a few grieve
and she will not be one
she is now happy
not in heaven
but deep in hell

UNHEALED WOUNDS...

I can see the swarm of people there,
all are aloof and no one is cared.
lost in their own world of pains,
they are hurt and thats the reason they are here.

In the wine of their glasses,
they find their faces unknown.
its hard for them to identify themselves
as they are so aloof, so alone.

They cry out their words so loud,
and burst out their anger filled-in.
they try to vommit their heart out of their mouth,
but keep on drinking whisky and gin.

They swollow every peg of drink down their throat,
and bring them out through their crying eyes.
the tears are not just salted droplets but,
its the pain and grief which lies inside.

People come and forget themselves,
by talking to the strangers they never know.
shouting "cheers" so loud to hide their pain
their grief is lessen and pain is so low.

Some come here bcoz they are cheated,
some to reduce their grief.
some come here to forget their beloved,
and some come here for ease.

This place is a world to them,
where they can do what they wish to.
they are away from this world so cruel,
which gives them the pains and unhealed wounds too...

BY BHARTI

this one is called, Is This What Love Is?

Boy and a girl,
the best of friends.
From elementary to high school
from beginning to end.

Through all those years
their friendship grew.
They both felt the same,
but neither knew.

Each waking moment
since the day they met.
They both loved each other
sunrise to sunset.

He was all she had
in her terrible life.
He was the one
who kept her from her knife.

She was his angel,
she made him smile.
Though life threw him curves,
she made it all worth while.

Then one day
things went terribly wrong.
The next few weeks
were like a very sad song.

He made her jealous
on purpose he tried.
When the girl asked, "Do you love her?"
on purpose he lied.

He played with jealousy
like it was a game.
Little did he know
Things would never be the same.

His plan was working
but he had no clue.
How wrong things would go,
the damage he would do.

One night she broke down,
feeling very alone.
Just her and the blade,
no one else home.

She dialed his number,
he answered, "Hello"
She told him she loved him
and hung up the phone.

He raced to her house
just a minute too late.
Found her lying in blood,
her heart had no rate.

Beside her was a note,
in it her confession.
Her love for this boy,
her only obsession.

As he read the note,
he knelt down and cried.
Grabbed her knife,
that night they both died.

She was found in his arms,
both of them dead.
Under her note
his handwriting said:

"I loved her so,
she never knew.
All this time
I loved her too."

ok that one isn't eligible, but this one is

You told me you loved me
you said "its true"
you said "i will always love you"

but somehow i knew
it was not true

i said "do you really love me"
he said "that's what i decree"

you held me in your embrace
sending me to higher a place

we spent our time together
i thought it would last forever

me holding your hand
never knowing what you had planned

until it was to late
he sealed my fate

one day he left a note saying
"meet me at this place"

i had no clue
what he would do

i went to the park after dark
he stood behind me
his face lit up with glee

him wielding a gun
my life undone

him saying "i never loved you it was just a joke"
at that my heart broke

him turning around to a mound of dirt,
my eyes alert

he buried me there
without any air

i rotted there
for about a year

my hair going away
my fingers going astray

they never found me
that is where i live today

"You Can`t"

You can`t control the thoughts,
That go in and out of your head.
You can`t whipe away the tears,
With those words left unsaid.

You can`t sing a song,
Without a rhyme.
You can`t change your life,
By rewinding time.

You can`t heal your wounds,
Cause life is just full of pain.
You can`t hide the truth,
When you think your insane.

You can`t cover up the scars,
If all you do is cut more.
You can`t smile everyday,
And accept the fact that people will ignore.

You can`t run and hide,
As soon as something goes wrong.
You can`t live in a world,
Where you don`t belong.

You can`t turn and confide
Into someone you trust.
You can`t tell the world
Death is what you lust.

i wrote a new poem for this contest only. can i post it among my other poems now to let others read it?

she watches and watches
and never feels
the happiness and joy
that everyone deals

she is given cards and cards
of hurt and pain
careless words flung
shes no longer sane

they think she's happy
they think she smiles
but under the ropes of restriction
tears never stop flowing
never stop filling empty eyes

those eyes that cry with dry tears
as she walks past hateful faces
there is a knife forever twisting
and turning and tearing her apart
