    Losing your sanity. I think this might be a good challenge for me. Considering i'm not a brilliant poet.

    She swore on her life.
    Thanks. :]

  • Teria

    She swore on her life.

    She swore on her life
    she wouldn't love another,
    but promises break.

    Promises break from
    the one who should
    not lie to you,
    nor, break the bond
    of trust and love that..

    Slowly fades on.
    On into the
    setting of the
    sun above our
    lonely lifeless world.

    As love slips further
    into society's realm,
    trust slips further
    into darkened pits.
    And, everything is lost;

    Promises break from
    the one who should
    not lie to you.
    nor, break the bond
    of trust and love.

    I changed the title a little bit. Is that okay? If not I'll try and rewrite another poem.

    Losing My Sanity

    There was this young boy
    About sixteen years of age
    He had been tainted badly
    By thirteen years of rage

    It started when he was three
    He was cut across his back
    When he cried 'cause he was hungry
    And his mom fed him a snack

    A drunken father to beat him
    Whenever he was correct
    But his father would beat him
    Because this boy had no respect

    He had no friends at school
    He would play games only to lose
    And listen to the other boys laugh
    Because he had another bruise

    When he was in middle school
    His teachers crushed his dreams
    They clawed at his heart
    And ripped out all the seams

    Well this boy is now in high school
    He is seventeen years old
    Although he looks like he is a rebel
    He always does what he is told

    This boy looks at his father
    This man of vanity
    And I realize he is the reason
    I am losing my sanity

    ~Bleeding Scars~

    My bleeding scars flow with strawberry kisses,
    Placed upon my body are these cuts of near misses,
    Misses of death that i have so luckily overcome,
    My body shaking with delight, so over-ally numb.

    These gashes are carved deep into may arm,
    This feeling i have when i cause my body self harm,
    Blood rushes and pours deeply from my wrists,
    From my perfect razor with its sick little twists.

    These scars i have, They've only just became visible,
    Before they would hide so painfully invisible,
    They would be etched deep on my shattered heart,
    Carved like a sculpture, Such beautiful art.

    My souls been scratched, And scars have appeared,
    I'm not afraid, no these bleeding scars can't be feared,
    For I'm the only one who is causing myself pain,
    But still blood flows from my wrist like ruby red rain.

    The Emo Kid {Rondel} [Emo-tionless]

    Ecstasy is not present within the emo kid,
    As dancing crimes they do display, singing of their lies.
    How sweet and simple is our delight; they still defy
    Of our melodic kids cry out in pain; we forbid.

    A masquerade of lies and blood they dance amid,
    Scheming of death shattered that we crucify;
    Ecstasy is not present within the emo kid,
    As dancing crimes they do display, singing of their lies.

    Lying of tales so mournful, so untruthful our emo certainly did,
    Their lives of horror set as wondrous and mystified.
    They scream out to the world as they there lie,
    For their heart full of aspersion and deceit to be amid,
    Ecstasy is not present within the emo kid.

    Not-so-simple sadness

    An aching on my heart,
    In darkness it heaves along,
    Sobbing in the ocean,
    In the sadness of my song,

    "Come drag your shoulders,
    As I play with your heart,
    Your nothing, no one, nobody,
    And with me you'll fall apart."

    Tears fall into the sea,
    And bounce along the shore,
    Birds cackle in delight,
    And your gone forever more,

    Your heart is a breaking,
    The stones hit hard,
    Swallow them one by one,
    And the mirror is a shard,

    "Here is the fountain,
    Drench yourself in pain,
    It'll burn your skin forever,
    And your power will be drained."

    Into the ocean blue,
    Wade into the deep,
    Hold your breath and count,
    Then soon you'll be asleep.

    The Sadness Returns

    She spins about the staircase,
    Silken ribbon, satin gown,
    Laughing, singing, smiling,
    'Till her smile becomes a frown.

    Someone's said a word,
    That makes her want to cry,
    Doesn't matter what they've said,
    For now she wants to die.

    Happiness from heaven,
    Sadness straight from hell,
    Deep inside her eyes,
    Lurks an empty well.

    She cannot cry, for if she does,
    Somebody will find out.
    It must be kept a secret,
    A smile in front of doubt.

    Her troubles are a letter,
    Her life is quite a play,
    From the way that she's been living,
    She cheats to win the game.

    She's already cried her eyes out,
    Soon she may walk blind,
    Now when sadness returns,
    It's impossible to cry.

    Based On A Fairytale

    We were based on a fairytale, centered around you and me.
    Where everything was perfect; we were happy as can be.
    We were based on a fairytale, with "Happily Ever After." written in.
    Smug as we were, our love wasn't from within.
    We were based on a fairytale; me the princess, you the prince-
    We were both pretending that we never had been sad since.

    But being based on a fairytale is really hard to do-
    Living the lie with each "I Love You."
    We knew it was wrong, but we wanted it right.
    Walking around, masquerading in plain sight;
    Our pained on smiles were getting dried out.
    We both knew some knew what we were about.

    Hidden behind each dolled up expression,
    Were definite signs of our exasperation.
    We were based on a fairytale that could never work.
    This "love" was like a stab in the heart with a dirk.
    So as I break away from the worn out and frail
    Looking back, we weren't Based On A Fairytale

    Ciao~ eh, not my best...<3
