    Holding On

    Holding on,
    to each day
    as if it’s only
    a step away.
    Keeping mermories
    stored away in the
    back of our brain.
    Thinking we can
    take them out
    as we wish.
    Remembering every
    single kiss.
    But what if we can’t even
    Remember yesterday
    or the day before
    what if we keep
    searching and searching
    and find nothing more
    than the mermories of today
    What if we keep
    Holding on, to each day
    as if it's only
    a step away

    FAR FROM PERFECT

    As night swallows daylight
    And the darkness falls around me
    I keep walking
    Towards nowhere
    My headphones over my ears
    Music seeping out
    My eyes lined with eyeliner and mascara
    Ruined with the tears
    That Ive cried
    Cause Im Far From Perfect
    Ill never be perfect
    And never could if I tried
    I escape my pain
    With every step I take
    And ever tear that falls down my face
    Feeling a little bit better
    With the way I am
    Not feeling so guilty
    For being less then perfect
    By the end of the night
    I realize again
    Ill always be
    Far From Perfect

    Different from the rest

    "What is that thing covering her face?"
    "Why does she have that weird colored skin?"
    They whisper about her Egyptian accent
    And think its weird she studies the Muslim religion

    "I can barely even eat my food,
    Fatty's rolls over here are makeing me sick"
    He is only sitting a couple inches away
    I bet he's so tired of hearing it

    "Ha! That girl taped her shoes!"
    They assume her family is very poor
    Little did they know the hospital has their money
    Trying to heal her brothers injuries from war

    "That kids pants are up to his ankles"
    He looks so stupid and ugly in them
    To bad they don't know his father died
    And his mother always abuses him

    People think those kids aren't ordinary students
    Ones a foreign exchange the other is fat
    Two of them can't afford their clothing
    Whatever happened to sympathy for that?

    I try to understand the accented girl
    She just came here from another country
    You expect her to know whats going on?
    With a new currency to know and a variety of new munchies

    So what he's somewhat overweight
    It's probably people who crack on his size
    That makes him the way he is
    I wonder what you look like in his eyes

    Yes the girl taped her shoes
    I agree it does look somewhat funny
    But what happened to keeping comments to ourselves?
    The girl pays for her brothers surgerys with her money

    Ok so he has high-waters on
    His mom cares less of what he needs
    But only for herself and new man
    And they can get some more weed

    I show the students friendship and kindess
    Like no one else does or wants to
    So I was the one different from the rest
    Because I'm nice to them unlike all of you

    Diminished Hope

    Planet blue a perfect shell,
    With the energy to evolve,
    Precious life and beauty,
    But many questions left to solve,

    Flesh, skin and bloody veins,
    Desires of mankind,
    Emotion pulls our every string,
    Hearts attracted to the bind,

    Although we feel the slightest touch,
    And cry to every star,
    How are we yet so vunerable?
    Of our dying planet's scar,

    Blame is put upon ourselves,
    Although we shalln't care,
    Death of our only home,
    But nothing to compare.

    Eternity

    Take a look at that man running so blind
    everytime i see him, he stares back at me
    something must be wrong in his mind
    or may be he is just trying to run from reality

    Look at that man pretending to be so nice
    with all that fake smile all around his face
    and the tears he hides paying the price
    for it seems as if he has lost his life's race

    Did you notice that man with a bleeding chest?
    seems as if he is searching for something somewhere
    digging inside his own flesh to find the remaining best
    of the words he ever uttered as his last prayer

    Could you see him falling within his own eyes
    he has been like this since the end of eternity
    wonder why only i could hear his silent cries?
    may be only he knows what its like to be me

    Ok I'll post the results by the latest friday, but I'll try to get them done tonight!

  • Arcane Blondie
    18 years ago

    I have the results! I will post them in a minute--First, I want to say that I love all the poems that you guys submitted. It was really hard to choose which place a poem would be in--- For the people that tied in 4th I will tell you how, in my opinion, you could improve them.

  • Arcane Blondie

    1st place-Diminished Hope by Wings Of Flames
    2nd place-Far From Perfect by ~4ever-n-ever~
    3rd place-Eternity by End Of Eternity
    Tied for 4th place-
    Holding On by IfIhide11 and Different From The Rest by *Chelsey-Lynn*

  • Arcane Blondie
    18 years ago

    IfIhide11-I think that you could improve your poem by breaking up each line differently. As I was reading it some parts didn't sound write because of that reason.

    *Chelsey-Lynn*- The flow fo your poem is kind of off in my opinion. I think that if you shorten the lines and kind of compress each thought it will smooth out.

    Great job to everyone!
