I woke up in car

My head hurt so badly
I placed my hand over my head
I realize I'm in a car
Where was my home and bed?

A storm is raging on outside
Lightning flashes across the sky
A clap of thunder follows
I see a shadow moving around nearby

I could see trees out the window
I scooted up on the leather seat
This headache was killing me
I was overwhelmed by massive heat

Everything started to spin
When I saw a man beside the car
I could not supress my screams
As I looked at his massive, face-long scar

I locked both of the doors
But he took out the keys
I was stunned on what to do
So I pulled my chest to my knees

He tightly grabbed my arm
And dragged me out into the rain
I was scared out of my mind
But calm I tried to remain

I seen a shed in the distance
It was old and run down
His tight grip was so unbearable
Not one person was around

I couldn't give up this easily
Through this pain I had to fight
This man was not going to hurt me
I would not be his victim tonight

I kicked where my mom told me to
Where it terribly hurts a man
I started running through the branches
Putting together a plan

Maybe I could find a place to hide
And wait there till I was found
Suddenly I felt him grab my ankle
I fell helplessly to the muddy ground

Then he pulled out that knife
I seen it from the corner of my eye
Just when I thought he'd take my life
I heard a rumble from the sky

I shut my eyes to avoid the blood
But for some reason, opened them once more
I was back inside my car and looked out the window
To see that man outside my door

I knew the dream was now to become real
My future was to decrease or expand
It was flashing before my eyes
And in the killers hands

Inside My Heart
by Kara

Your sentiment's not welcome
because this is my lonely box.
A room of gold has faded
the walls dampen, peel, rot.
The cracks are getting larger
and the floors are creaking,
shrinking in these cold days.
But I know my room of neglect.

It used to look so different,
when I used to share this room with you.
It was beautiful, it was warm,
it was everything we dreamt of.
It was just for us. To share together.
But then one day you left - well,
you never really did. Because the ghost
yes, the ghost of you, resides in my lonely space.

The photographs of our love
rest upon the fireplace. The place
"where the flame will never go out",
extinguished by a few tears I shed.
And it seems it's made the room colder
and the break in the middle doesn't help
and the ghost of you, just waits around
watching this room fall apart.

~Postpartum Deport~

A relationship bound by the court,
two parents yearning to abort.
One child's postpartum deport,
a life, from the start, out of sorts.

The help of two elders, they sought,
a custody battle, never fought.
Drug addict parents, got caught,
important lessons, never taught.

A baby that was left behind,
consequences of a legal bind.
A lifestyle of a different kind,
viewpoints from a distorted mind.

A family separated by years in time,
a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
Two people, making up for another's crime,
always living off of their last dime.

A difficult situation from the start,
a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
A family, nearly torn apart,
two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

An unwanted boy, now full grown,
held together by seams, left un-sewn.
Approaching life with a whole different tone,
hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

~Sean Dohr~

Miss You
by Д βєąµ†ιƒµℓ £ιэ

I know it's cliche to say this
And there's no way to say it without it
sounding like some cheesy pick-me-up line
But I've been missing you again lately

I know I shouldn't, I have no reason
Missing something that never happened
We're better off living separated
Never thinking of each other again

But you and I both know how weak I am
It was my weakness that brought us to an end
But I can't help missing you, missing every you
I miss your heart, the way you care
I miss your dreams and your hopeless hair

I miss your canned laughter, toothy grin
I miss the fur upon your chin
I miss you so much more than you'll ever see
I even miss the way you always ignored me

I miss your teasing and vain grace
I miss your open palm and bruises on her face
I miss drunken violence, the bitter atheist
Your suicidal fear of death, I miss your arrogance

I miss the days you wanted to know me
I miss our tragicomic romance
But mostly I'm just missing you
Because I missed my chance

I miss you like a bad dream
It's all that I have left
A mirage coated fantasy
I miss being your friend

You can't miss something that you never had
I never wanted it to be this way
I never wanted it to be this way

Same thing over again

In the darkness he lurks
Creeping along thin lines
Of fear and death
Watching the kids play
Climbing rotting trees
Running through deadly vines
Twigs break beneath his feet
As he holds his breath
Waiting for the right time to strike
Hidden behind a tree
A little child passes
He grips his hand around the childs mouth
And pulls him out of sight
And drags the little girl deeper in the forest
He duct tapes her mouth
And ties her hands together
Forces her to walk
Deeper and deeper back
To a place he knows no one will find her
It seems like forever
Until he told her to stop
And lay down on the ground
The grounds hard from the cold
And misting dew is settleing in
As she lays there
In the wetness
He tells her to close her eyes
And she wont feel a thing
He lifts her dress
And does the same thing all over again
Hearing her whimpers
Is what he loves
After hes done
He leads her over to a long rope
And tells her to climb up
And slip her head through the neck hole
And tightens it up
And tips the stool under her
Walking away for her to struggle
So he can lurk in the darkness
And find another little child
To terrioze and muder

Misunderstood

You can hear his headphones blaring
beneath his over-sized hood
you all think he doesn't care
but hes just misunderstood

the cuts on his wrists what make him come
but he has a good reason why
his home life's a disturbing mess
and he wishes to not be alive

his father left when he was three
he was a sick and twisted man
but he comes around once in awhile
and hurts as much as he can

the teachers thinks hes just trouble
and i think that you do to
but nothing thats happened in your life
compares to what he goes through

suicide is not an option
cause that would leave his mom alone
and his so-called father would beat her
and her pain would be unknown

what you don't seem to realize
is that this is his form of relief
he needs to focus his anger
and must control his grief

you think you know what he is like
but you don't have a clue!
he is so much more complicated
than the others who visit you

you think you've made a breakthrough
when the heavy metal music stops
you wonder if he just might talk
until you see the ticking clock

he stands up from his chair
and takes off his over-sized hood
he then says in a distant voice
"understanding does no good"

I'll Prolly Switch Poems 20 times before its over.. lol. but for now im entering this one.

Ship of Fools

Cast your eyes upon the horizon of untruth
Embrace the deprivation of you pirated soul
Let the embers of hopelessness forever burn
And leave your heart unquenched and cold.

See not the innocence of love long past
For the shores of dreams are distant
Take hold the wheel that guides the ship
And plunder waters without resistance.

Hold steady the mast of despaired fear
Unable to let go the anguished pain
Look not with eyes that has seen the light
But with bitter words of hate that still remain.

Let the winds of time possess the sails
And lead you precariously with stubborn rules
Walk lonely steps upon the deck
Of this crowded Ship of Fools.

ok, well not really my fave since i dun got a fave but i like it..

Unfaithful

Baby, I know exactly what you doing,
when your "with the guys", who are you fooling?
Don't think I don't know about her, because I do,
Yet even though I know, I can't let go of you.

I saw you two kissing, late at night in the park,
I saw you two there, even if it was very dark.
That nearly broke my heart, I was just walking my dog,
You were a prince to me, but now just a lowly frog.

How could you be unfaithful to me, after all I've done,
You said you were going to marry me, and I would have your son.
What happened to that? Now you go breaking my heart?
Well, baby that's messed up, this is where we part.

You can have her, she won't be as good as me,
For I loved you so much, but this is the end baby.
You broke my heart, hope she breaks yours,
Hope she is a criminal and steals the stuff from your drawers.

Have a nice life, that you could've had with me forever,
But now it's too late, you and me don't belong together.
So, see you never, I love you none,
I hope you and your girlfriend have fun.

~ He Sees Her

He just stares at her,
And she just stares at him.
As the memories run through their heads,
Their smiles come back again.

As his smile reaches her eyes,
And his words reach her ears,
There's a reaction that she can't disguise,
And butterflies that last for years.

She's too afraid to tell him
What she has felt for years.
She's too afraid to show her feelings,
These are her biggest fears.

She thinks that he loves her,
But she's not sure enough.
That year she spent without him
Was the toughest of the tough.

As he sees her across the room,
He knows what she is thinking, but he's afraid she woud break his heart.
He wants to show her his feelings,
But he's afraid their friendship will be torn apart...

Crying from the Eyes and Bleeding From the Heart
by Ally

***I've only just written this but it happened about a year ago i was "friends" with this girls who just made me feel so worthless and pathetic and I've tried to write about it before but it hasn't worked, so id really like to know what you guys think of this it would mean a lot to me , thanks***

Hey I know it's impossible,
but I tried for perfection
cause I wanted acceptance
and you gave rejection.

I didn't hate you - I wanted to love you
and when each day did dawn - grass soaked with dew
once again I'd fake that smile
just so i could be, good enough for you.

Some call it pathetic,
Some say it's lame,
but day after day
i'll continue on in this childish game

I'll beg for you love,
and with the most forced of smiles - ill try all day long.
Till alone in my room, ill turn up the radio and cry until dawn
then one day ill realise I'll realize I got it all wrong.

I needn't have endured the put-downs and the pain
I didn't need to feel so worthless or meek
I didn't need to play your stupid little game
and let you walk all over me.

Cause I can never be all that you wanted of me!
I can't change the way I am - I can't be perfect!
The truth is your no better than me!
and a true friend would love me, JUST AS I AM

Crazy and insane
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

This world is like a movie
never still always moving
when it hurts we feel the pain
the blood falls like drops of rain
fading a way into a dream
out of the darkness we give a scream
rushing comes hope
and with it a rope
all tied up we scream and cry
then we fall and we all die
startled by a scream
we wake up from the dream
with blood on our hands
we wait where it stands
shaking and crying
we see it won't be dying
a cry of pleasure, a cry of pain
we wonder why we're in the rain
we cry for help with no one around
so we settle on the ground
sown to sleep
sleep we creep
woken with furry
off with a hurry
run like crazy
the stranger is lazy
we win the gold
god this is getting old
changing so fast
we shoot with a blast
it just makes it mad
we'd run if we had...
we don't have legs
they are just little pegs
we want out of this dream
it's getting kind of mean
we sit down and cry, cry, cry
but here we lie
in our cozy bed
and we still have our heads

Sometimes I wonder...
by J. Lau

If everything happened for a reason,
What purpose did I serve,
When I entered into your life?

Am I just a stranger?
Who happened to be his best friend,
And knew all that happened between you and him?

Am I simply a friend?
Who you were comfortable with,
And had absolutely no feelings for?

Am I the comforter I once described?
Who was there by your side,
And comforts you when you cry?

Am I your guardian angel?
Who guards and help you,
When you needed most?

Am I the soul mate that you need?
Who shared all your joy and sorrows,
And a true friend you can count upon?

Am I the passing cloud?
That happened to be there,
And slowly disappears when the sky clears up?

Am I the rainbow in the sky?
That brings you joy for that brief moment,
And fades away when the sun shines again?

Am I the white Christmas?
That happens only on occasion,
And fulfills a part of your life when all else fails?

Or am I the destined one?
Who will love and cherish you,
For the rest of our lives?

Sometimes I wonder...
How I got myself tangled,
In this complicated situation.

But one thing for sure,
That makes all that I wondered,
Not at all important,
Is that I know... I love you so.

System of Love

Assuage it's a long journey of love
Bowl if you're feeling blue
Catastrophe approaches every time
Delusions sometimes come true
Emulate what your heart says to you
Fabrication can never block your way
Gaze to the brighter side
Harmonious sound can make her smiled
Inaugurate a meaningful life
Jeopardize all you have for love
Kindle a fire as a sign to start
Leniency was on your heart
Mangle all your bitter sorrows in the past
Nap in the cold silence of the night
Ordain your self by your heart
Patch the mistakes you've done
Quixotic affair of love
Ratify what's on your mind
Sire a new way to love
Tacit all the things around
Utopia marked your precious heart
Vivid and clean hearted woman
Wake the buried and forgotten love
Xenophobia loose us to meet someone
Yet we can make it to overcome
Zap your heart to love and to be loved

Mum, I love you with all my heart

Arguments, discrimination
thats all i ever get from you

you don't really love me,
you never really cared.

you poured your love into them,
wishing i wasn't there.

would it matter to you if i died?
would you really care?

do i even belong with you?
are you really there?

what happened to my family?
is it breaking apart cause of me?

just listen, hear me out
mum i love you with all my heart

(hope you like it)

Sean Dohr: It is not up to me to decide who you think is youre best. So pick one please, only one poem per poet.

wow guys nice poems so far! i doubt ill win w/ this compitition!

With You

When you hold me close
It's like the world melts away
I don't have to worry
About anything in life
About the mistakes I've made
That I will eventually have to fix
About things i am dreading to happen
it's all very faint in my mind
And when you kiss me
it goes away completely
I don't think about my life
How i feel different in the world
i don't have to think about anything
It's just you and me
I don't think you will ever
Understand how you make me feel
With you i am a completely different person
With you I'm normal
You don't make me feel different
When you hold me
It seems as if you'll never let go
When I'm at your side
I don't have to think about
How i shouldn't be with you

i have a lot of favorites (mostly all my poems about an evil love is my favorite but still..)but i decided this was one of my best

Dying Inside.

Darkness.
All around.
Surrounding me.
Making it hard to breathe.
Dying Inside.

Being unfaithful.
Feeling guilty.
Dying inside.

Lights fading.
Darkness overcoming.
Dying Inside.

Gun to my head.
Blade to my wrist.
I don't want to be a murderer.
But.
I'm dying inside.

Walking out on life.
Giving up.
Leaving my soulless body behind.
Letting darkness have its way.
Taken over.
Lights fading.
As I die inside

One of my best so far...

A Final Prayer
by †!♪~*`Bryce Dressler`*~♪!†

A slow rolling tear
Falling down his cheek
As he stood over her bed
he began to feel weak

He couldn't believe it
No way this was true
He couldn't live without her
He wouldn't know what to do

He dropped to his knees
At the head of her bed
Looked up to the ceiling
Crying he said,

"Why'd you do this god
Why'd you take her from me
I need her so much
Why can't you see

It can't end this way
No, she can't die
God please don't do this
I can't say goodbye

She can't go away
Not here, not now
I'll do anything to bring her back
Please just tell me how

Take the life from me
Take my heart and soul
God please bring her back
I don't care what the tole

Take the blood from my veins
The breathe from my chest
I don't care if I die
Just put me to rest

God please listen
The pain is to much to bare
Her life will end real soon
If at all you care"

He stopped speaking for a minute
As she layed there dying
The only sound to be heard
Was of the teenage boy's crying

His tears crashed to the floor
As he barely made a stand
He reached across her body
And held her hand-in-hand

As he wiped his eyes
He couldnt understand
Whyd this have to happen
Whyd it have to end?

He had one last thing to do
As he watched her lay
He had one last minute
One last thing to say

"I have one more thing to ask
a favor, God, from you
If you are going to take her
Can you please take me too?"

Again he fell to his knees
Not knowing what else to say
He held her hand tight
Not ready to give her away

But then he heard the monitor
Beep for the final time
And after that, all to be heard
Was the single flat line.

He let her hand go
And kissed her on the cheek
As more tears came to his eyes
He prayed they'd soon meet

Although she is in heaven
Past the clouds and above
They could deny him her body
But not their love

And when he gets to heaven
He will soon see
She will be waiting
To be together...Eternally

(C) 2005 Bryce Dressler

Shelter seeks safety from the cruel north winds.

As they pound and pound on your raven's door.

Nevermore.

We lose our trust.

Braking is a must,

In order to save ourselves we must pound ourselves senseless.

Taste

The enemy's bloody hands

As he scatters your metaphorical bones in his cellar.

You have been broken by the shadow.

Your mind is now a cradle for nothing but a useless nucleus.

We must now take you away.

Exeunt good will and prosperity.

Hello ugly disparity.

This is a difference that shouldn't be tolerated.

A malignant shadow waiting to break down our shepherd's wall.

Soon we will have no one to lead the way.

Soon we, too will become the shadow.

But then again, if we are all on the same page, no one will get hurt, right?

Yes.

Then let us swarm.

Let us become a mass of hatred.

Good bye, disparity.

Hello, false prosperity.

False hope.

A broken love affair between mankind and its "strong" mind.

Murder in a warehouse
by Tara-Kay

A girl was walking home alone,
as a tall man walked by.
Her legs turned to stone,
she was scared but didn't know why.

He put his hand over her mouth,
and dragged her along.
As he headed south,
he hummed a merry song.

He took her to a warehouse,
and slammed the door shut.
He walked around her silently as a mouse,
then punched her in the gut.

She was too terrified to fight back,
her body shaking with fright.
He turned round to attack,
His fists clenched tight.

He hit her again,
she wanted to shout.
Her body hurt with pain.
What was this about?

He bound her up with rope,
as she began to cry.
She couldn't feel no hope,
he was going to let her die.

He punched and kicked her,
then she began to bleed.
This became a murder as he did the final deed.

He turned and smiled at her,
then shot her in the head,
all she saw was ablur,
and sadly she was dead.

(the best poem i have ever written and the one with the most comments)

Feeling What They May

Now my children,
I'm going to tell you a tale,
Of pain and suffering,
Where everyone fails.
There are no hero's;
No knights to save the day,
There is no more light,
To show you the way.
I'll tell you of a tale,
Now filled with blood;
Once was sweet;
I'll tell you of love.

This story begins,
One grand day,
With a boy and a girl,
Feeling what they may.
I would tell you,
Of the feelings they repress,
But these things you can't explain,
NOr put them to the test.
They were given,
A love anew,
One little chance,
That they all ready blew.
Children in love,
An absurd little thing!
They shouldn't have done it,
For their hearts now sting.
Perhaps they should have,
Given up in the beginning,
For we all new,
There would be no winning.
But they went on,
Not heeding a care,
Not listening,
To what we shared.

They were told,
They could not be,
They were too young,
They could not see.
This love of theirs,
Will tear them apart,
Leave them there,
To pick up their hearts.
Bu alas,
Things soon failed,
And they hid their hearts,
Behind a broken viel.
Things didn't go right,
As they had told them before,
They weren't right together,
They were now sure.

So the boy and girl,
Lonely and lost,
Left each other,
A a most precious cost.
Letting themselves go,
To poison and blade,
They disappeared,
Going where they bade.
But they soon found;
I must say I fear,
They couldn't live in life or death,
Without the other near.
Their souls soon linked,
Together as they may,
Boy and girl,
Feeling what they may.

One of my top three favorites, though I choose this telling the best story. Enjoy..and thank you. :)

"Stilled"

As the blood spills down my arm,
My thoughts grow rash.
I cut too deep too long,
This time I will have to pay.

The note I left,
Sorrows shall be found and fed,
When the sun rises in the morning,
Then they will have a better understanding.

My legs, and arms, all cut up,
Bloody, torn,
To match my insides, all torn up!
Never again to have to deal with it.

I am the one in control of fate,
My fate, my walk, my journey...
Will soon end, with a bloody,
Note, body, life, and smile.

I laugh at all of you,
Those I left behind.
I guess I have cut too deep for too long!
Maybe this wasn't such a good end.

I start to second guess myself,
Guessing now its too late.
An addict to just one more cut,
One more dice of the skin.

Its over, ended, stopped.
Finally no more earthly pain,
No suffering, no torment.
Its gone and dealt with.

My body found,
Found by the one who wasn't meant to.
My sister, my little baby sister,
Stumbled upon my body. It was a chance I took!

She laid down beside me,
Her ardent body, against my piercing lifeless one.
The innocence oozing out of her, Death firmly planted on me.
Tears drip silently down her cheek.

Carved into my arm was,
"I'm sorry", how can I not be.
Leaving them, all alone..
It is once again my fault.

Do not mourn for me,
Not a single tear to be shed.
I am not worth your pain,
I'm worth more dead.

Knives surrounding my every thought
As the rain pounds against my solemn dreams
There's a thunderstorm inside my heart
Where blood flows freely down my streams
Shredding my dwindling soul apart
Ripping, tearing at the endless seams
Bringing shock to my system of motions
Paralyzing inner defiant emotions

Rivals between thunder and lightning
Echoing within a hollow, shallow mind
Lashing at each other till their ending
When one defeats the other side
Bringing another string of decaying
An uncivil rising and descending tide
A graveyard underneath the power
Where the shadows wait to devour

Darkness and light begins to gamble
For the right of death and forever pain
Testing to see who is the most able
Without being consumed till insane
Drenched in sweat, seen as pitiable
Neither side has lost or gain
All this lies within my very soul
For years never letting me be whole

Life Sentence

Life forever changed
Constantly afraid
Sleepless nights
Terror within come to life

Constantly watching
Seeing who is near
Forever living
A life of fear

Often smacked
And kicked around
Punched in the back
Face shoved in the ground

Three years of freedom
Yet still imprisoned
Seven years of abuse
Left a life sentence

---Sherry Lynn Hull Richardson

Boys Don't Cry

Ten year old boy
burying his father forever
though he knows reality
after this day, he won't see him ever

his mother passed away
when he was just five
left with insane elder sister
the only reason to fight life

little boy never knew
the cruelty of society
but boys are not supposed to cry
no matter how hard life turns out to be

day by day he struggled
harder than yesterday
took life as it came
as there was no other way
his innocence was murdered everyday
but that little hope inside his heart
always incouraged him to give a try
and never did he forgot the fact
being a boy, he is not supposed to cry

after being slave for years
he finally reached teen
nobody has even ever imagined
what this boy in his life has seen

everynight before going to sleep
he used to stare at stars
fantasizing a little better future
& past which has been full of scars

and then from somewhere came a girl
one who just loved him for what he is
she never knew anything about his past
just entered his world like fairies

for the first time he felt what is love
for the first time with a smile he looked above

little boy never knew
love comes, love goes but curse stays forever
no matter how hard life turns out to be
but boys are not supposed to cry, never

this world is not meant for him
he knew it since he was five
but still struggled all the way through
for his sister who is no more alive

she has died yesterday
just couldn't take the way her brother is living in pain
she know she can't help him
or save him from the price he is paying for her being insane

now its his turn as he feels so alone
for the ones he need are all gone
but no matter how he decide to die
he knows being a boy, he just cant cry

Beauty lies within

We all have a little insecurity,
Something that we do not like
But know you were made special
And we're not all alike

We were all made unique
So we shouldn't live in fear
Of what other people think
And everything you hear

Not everyone's judgments
Are always precise
You have a choice
To listen to their advice

It doesn't mean to change yourself
Because the way you are is fine
When you show your true colours
That is when you truly shine

It doesn't matter what you look like
Or what people think and say
Acting like yourself
Will make it a better day

You don't have to pretend
Or be fake, at all
You should be someone you're proud of
And be able to stand tall

No need for to cover up
To hide your minor flaws
Your inner beauty will shine through
And it will show all and all.

It's your qualities that truly count
Your talents and personality
It's your actions and words
And your originality

People who are your friends
Should like you for who you are
You shouldn't have to be like them
Just to be a star

So be who you are
And don't tell lies
To be comfortable with yourself
You can't wear a disguise

In the end it doesn't matter
So be comfortable in you own skin
They're not all judging you so,
Always remember beauty lies within.

Fading Away.

Can you see me slowly fading away,
My presence drifting into the distance?
The tears I've cried no longer display,
The pain that I feel through all the silence.
My mouth is sewn shut so words cannot spray,
Of what is trapped inside of my conscience.
Would you rather have me slip down and fall,
Or should I never say goodbye at all?

Can you feel all of the pain that I feel,
The throbbing ache that is within my mind?
Are you aware of what my lies reveal,
Or have you now become completely blind?
All of my truth to you seems too unreal,
And that's why you don't try to dig and find.
Will you reach deep and force it out of me,
Or are you just going to leave me be?

Can you hear of this help that I crave for,
As I am screaming it towards your ears?
Begging and crawling all over the floor,
Still reaching for your hand while I'm in tears.
Being pushed back; I can't take anymore,
Rejection is one of my biggest fears.
Save me from who you have made me become,
Because you know that you're not the victim.

My Angels

I talk about my "angels" a lot.
Some people ask me, "How many you got?"
I answer, "It's not how many of them there are,
But without them I couldn't get very far."

My angels watch out for me.
Not like a bodyguard, who has a fee.
But someone who does it out of their own free will.
It's always a good thing to not have a monthly bill.

My angels are not who you think they would be.
But they sound like it as far as you see.
All of my angels are the ones who tend,
To come in the form of a very good friend.

In Mommy's Arms (For Laci and Conner Peterson)

Forsaken spirit clothed in night,
Displayed against unwritten stars,
Shattered prism holds just tears,
Droplets streamed onto the womb,
Sleep now child in mommy's arms,

Blades glitter with morning dew,
Lightning bugs flitter in the dark,
Sadness infests those circle orbs,
Haunting our hearts with each gaze,
Sleep now child in mommy's arms,

Blanket wrapped around his hands,
Stretched towards a mother's smile,
Dotting the tune of nature's melody,
Embraced within a cherished touch,
Sleep now child in mommy's arms.

And I am done judging... I will post them at the top of the page.
