Dont you have to be inspired anyway to write a poem? So if im inspired by a girl or love, does it have to be about her? or how she inspires me? Sorry, i just like being specific. it settles my confusion.

wait ok. i just wrote a poem a few minutes ago, and my inspiration was my ex, and how i have moved on. is that inspiration, i'm confused..lol

Hold On

When you feel you can't go on,
When you cannot find a friend,
Look inside to find some comfort,
Help yourself to mend.

What is it you are missing?
What is it that you need?
Can you find no inspiration,
In this world so full of greed.

There is beauty found in music,
There is warmth found in the sun,
There is love out in the world,
That can never be undone.

Though the road may crumble,
And at times just disappear,
If we just hold on,
All will become clear.

Pain is never pleasant,
But it helps us come to know,
Just how strong we really are,
It helps us all to grow.

Ok, I'll take a shot at this.

He enters the room
So gracefully and fine
Attempting to erase the thought
Wishing he was always mine

Oh, this is so wrong
The thought of him and me
There are complications galore
With him I can never be

But each time he appears
My heart begins to race
Consuming my inner soul
Haunted by his handsome face

He’s a diamond in the rough
He makes my heart sing
Inspiring me so much
Poetry, I began writing

Expressing my deepest thoughts
That flow through my heart
My feelings began to surface
Which were suppressed from the start

It was the poetic language
Which brought two hearts together
A love which is grown
And will be alive forever.

.... must... enter...

Warmth Within Words

Deep inside the candlelight
It flickers within flame
The sudden glow I feel inside
As letters spell my name

I wonder, why did I
Get named such a thing
As K-r-i-s-t-i
The name is a bee sting

I wish I could have named myself
Instead of mom and dad
Then I think of other subjects
Like parents I wish I had

Then I think about my friends
How could they like me?
Looking in the mirror
I don't like what I see

I see this girl that needs some help
Who's inside that mirror?
She doesn't know herself
How can you describe her?

My memory whispers,
She's a poet... an artist, a singer
Just writes, draws, and sings
To get rid of the hurt

Sometimes, some days
I wish it wouldn't say
All these negative things
That get in the way

I close my eyes,
And let out my breath
I want to sigh
So I'll get some rest

Looking at my paper
Once a slate wiped clean
Now written, like magic
Is what inspires me

I wrote this a couple days ago hoping it would apply for a contest of some sort... is it considered new?

well here it is anyways

-To stop the rain-

I try to breath
I'm suffocating
Try to heal
This heart that breaking
I try to survive
Please save me
This life I live
Please trade me

Words I've spoken
gone unheard
Tears I cry
Go unseen
I was scared
You flee from thee
Could you please
Believe in me?

To stop the rain
I feel it splashing
To stop the wind
I feel it thrashing
To stop the pain
I feel inside
To say a word
Is to lie

Hormonal hurricane
Twisted tornado
Full of pain
Rod of lightning
Do not strike
Roll of thunder
Hear my cry
Let it end tonight

To stop the rain
To see me smile
Let my heart rest
For a while
Cast the light
And watch me shine
One last time
Before you strike
