I was inspired by Broken Hearted Sam and have decided to try writing some poetry:
_Controlling my life_
I'm sick of being what you want me to be,
So tired of you commanding me.
Trying to control my life and who I am,
Why can't you be happy for what I am?
Everything I am you have hidden away,
I'm lying to myself everyday.
I wanna be myself and no one else,
Being anything different is like hell.
I've lost my way and my life,
Unable to live, can't grab the knife.
I can't end it, I cannot live,
My life ain't mine so how can I live?
I'm sick of being what you want me to be,
So tired of you commanding me.
I just pick up the knife,
And happily end my life...

Very good. Though it seems to ramble a little. try to clean it up. But, all in all, a lovely start.

Very good, i like it
keep it up :)

Here are a few more I was working on in-lesson at school:
The End, is it true?
Red skies, lots of lightning.
Danger, people crying.
Death stalks us all,
As we hide in a lonesome hall.
The End, is it true?
The End, will I lose you?
Earthquakes, storms and fire,
Our saviour was a liar.
The world dies, we die too,
How can I live if I lose you?
Apocalyptic visions,
Blood-thirsty demons,
All that we know is gone.
The evil deed has been done.
The End, is it true?
The End will I lose you?
How can I survive if you die?
Is this world a lie?
I can’t see you anymore…
Suppressed Rage.
Fire, eternal fire burns.
Anger, Rage, nobody learns.
Suppressed inside,
Rage within my mind.
Building up bit by bit,
There’s no target for me to hit.
Nobody cares about me,
Anger rising as they laugh at me.
Why won’t they learn?
My insides begin to burn…
Rage, Anger, Fire strong,
For inner peace I long…
Grit my teeth and ignore,
Just walk calmly to that door.
I hear a comment about my love, I pause,
The next moment their blood falls…
I lose myself to my frustration,
I wake to a destroyed nation,
Why? Why does everything have to end?
Suppressed Rage cannot bend.
It corrupts you, maims you,
Forces you to do what you don’t wanna do.
Humans become weapons,
People become broken,
All under crimson fire…
Why is it that…?
Why is it that people are in pain?
Why is it that some have nothing to gain?
Why is it that the world is dying?
Why is it that some are lying?
Why, oh why, is it that when I think of you, none of these things matter?
Alone, but happy.
I know not of true love,
I know only of the free-lying dove.
I have never been blissfully embraced,
I have calmly felt the wind on my face.
Lonely I am in this world,
Yet my happiness has never been hurled.
How is it that I am alone and happy?
Shouldn’t I be depressed and angry?
It doesn’t matter anyway,
For I am happy where I lay.
Love would be pleasant for me,
Although being alone still has its glee.
“Alone, but happy†perfectly describes me…

You know every line doesn't have to rhyme, right? You can have fun with it.
-
I know. It just naturally comes together so that it rhymes.

Well done you should check out some of my work.

_FireWind_
As intense as a roaring flame,
A tornado twisting, evil's bane.
The one who's there when protection is needed,
The one who fights for their cause...
An avenging blade striking out,
Yet sheltering others in doubt.
What does it mean if they call you a hero?
Should you take notice or continue so?
An inferno, a great spiral of wind,
Never giving up, not even at the end,
Eternal, a Hero,
Honourable Warrior...
Defying death time and time again,
Not once resting 'til the mission is done.
No hesitation and no regrets,
Makes a promise and never forgets:
"I'll save you all even if it kills me!"
Hero of FireWind to-be:
"HoKaze..."
(Based on my 'novel', The Hero Eternal: Warrior)

I love it! :) *thumbs up*

_A Shadow on your Soul_
Depression, eternal Darkness,
Sorrow, broken hearted,
Shadows before a feast.
My Soul, such a mess,
Twilight, mind darkened,
Love is the thing I feel least!
Dark colours engulfing,
Anger, sadness too.
My soul in your teeth, not quite whole,
A new shady dawn of...suffering!
I place A Shadow on your Soul...
_I'm Here..._
It's been a long, tough trek,
Just to see you again.
It is times like these that make me say "Heck!"
Before doing something different in the Den.
It seems so long to both of us,
An eternity of seperation, true.
The people wonder why we make a fuss,
They don't understand what we do.
Don't worry anymore,
Sleep assured.
I'm Here, never leaving again,
The light shining strong telling all two words:
I'm Here...

*wide eyes*
Holy &*%$ Flames. It's really good!
-
*wide eyes*
Holy &*%$ Flames. It's really good!
Thanks...(You're starting to make me blush)...Although I think they could be a lot better.
_Sorrow of Ages_
It's been a tough path to follow,
It'll all be gone in the 'morrow,
Swept aside by the tears of yesterday...
Yet I have not dealt with Sorrow today,
I just feel it inside of me,
My own tragic melody.
Of the rains of the Past,
That engulf the Present,
Causing Future to slip away...
Ages keep going on,
Sorrow keeps flowing through,
The pains that wait for my goodbye...
As I prepare myself for the twilight of early morn'...
-
I am? That's new.
-
I am? That's new.
Indeed. It's not like I've blushed 1001 times already in an RP because of you or anything... :snicker:
Standing Tall.
The world may try to crush me,
It may try to maim me.
But it doesn’t matter if I stand tall.
If I have regrets I shall not succeed,
If I give in I shall never lead.
Everyone may be against us,
But I won’t make a fuss.
I shall never cease my mission,
Never as long as I have determination.
No matter what happens,
I’ll just stand tall…
And happily bear it all.
My Purpose.
What is my purpose in life?
Why do I endure so much strife?
Is life meaningless?
It seems that way to me…
Do we have a goal, a purpose, anyway?
Should we live by our purpose everyday?
I cannot think of my purpose…
Should I make one for myself or should…
Should I live a life with no meaning?
I need an answer I cannot find…
Sometimes I feel so blind…
Just what is a purpose to me?
Chosen.
I open my eyes to see a face,
Of a stranger from another place.
I awake to see a different world,
One which needs a saviour strong.
It keeps on happening,
Keeps on cycling…
I save them and help them out,
Before I’m knocked out.
I wake up to a new world again,
They need my help or all shall end.
It has happened again…
Why me? Why today?
Is this what I’ll do always?
Sometimes I wish I had never woken at all…
But, I’ll endure the pain and save them all.
Is it because I am the Chosen?
I don’t know, but I still, shout:
“I will help you out!â€ÂÂ
This is my fate…
The Ultimate Power…
I stand there so tall,
Anticipating the fall.
The fall of a tyrant,
By the one so defiant.
The one that is me,
The one that is to be.
“Why are you so strong? How dare you defy me!?â€ÂÂ
Is all he asks as he breathes his last.
I stare into his eyes, stare into his soul,
My eyes ablaze with crimson fire erupting.
“This is the Ultimate Power! This is your undoing!â€ÂÂ
“Determination and friendship is what got this going!â€ÂÂ
I reach for my blade, with confidence to spare.
And I say: “This is how I dare…â€ÂÂ
The battle cry travels across the hills,
The sound of determined fire!
It rages around and grows so strong,
Fuelled by my allies’ admire!
This is…The Ultimate Power…!

Umm...Crystals of Slimta repeatedly in both male and female forms, once in Furry Mountain Lodge I believe (Along with Dakota) and I think you may have embarassed Flames once or twice in Campsite...although it's usually his/her fault...
Moving swiftly away from my repeated blushing, what do you think of my latest poems?

Breaking Out!
I open my eyes,
Look far within,
Deep breath as I set myself free...
I'm Breaking Out!
Destroying your lies,
Throwing away my so-called kin,
As I become want I need to be...
Breaking Out, being loud!
This is what it means to me:
Slice it up, take them down!
Any price to remain free,
Darkness, hear my plea:
Surrender the power that's me!
Demons in, demons all,
We are confined no more...
Breaking out, controlling you!
This is why we came out, such glee:
Infect the heart, rip it up,
Nobody could have worse luck!
Breaking Out!
...We're freeeee!
(Don't even ask. I have no idea about this one either o_O)

Love: Is it worth it?
What is love?
Can I see it?
Do I need it?
Will I ever feel it?
...I don't really know,
I may not care,
About such a thing I cannot bear.
I'm told I cannot truly live,
If I love is something I don't recieve or give...
Is it worth the pain and sorrow?
If we break up, will my heart be intact tommorrow?
If I commit and you don't give back,
Could endure the pain of those things that we lack?
What is love?
Can I feel it?
Will I know it all?
To feel elation,
With such attraction,
What will I do when we fall?
When we all just fall?
There's no denying the truth,
I'm one they love to hate.
Any love that I get I'll ruin for sure,
Don't ask me the question if you value your soul!
What is love?
Is it worth it?
Will I die inside,
Or will it turn the tide:
Of my sorrow, my selfishness...
Can I feel it?
Can I ever know what it is?
If I die and you loved me,
Would your heart live on?
I ask Eternity this,
Question Life about that,
Just what is love?
Is it worth the loss?
If or when, why or how?
Will the final result just be...
Broken hearts all around...?
-
....*wide eyes*... How did you know??! Nearly no one recognizes the feeling as it is. And you captured it in its entirety. Awesome job, Flames dearest. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Storm of Sorrow
It is raining inside,
Inside where my heart hides.
Tears of memories best forgotten,
Unless it is Sorrow that you follow...
No point in handing you my heart,
I'll just cause a Storm tommorrow,
Fueled on by the pains of yesterday.
If I had done this or that,
Would it have a changed a thing?
Or would the anguish still be king?
I feel such gravity,
So much inside of me...
I wish...and wish that,
I had never, not ever,
Let you go.
It is raining hurtful tears,
I should have been your umbrella,
But I was caught away by the Storm of Sorrow...
(Not exactly my best work here, but I suppose it could have been worse)
(Edit:)
Affection from a troubled Soul
Everytime I see you,
Everytime I feel somethin' new...
Whenever the sun shines down,
Whenever I lose my massive frown...
Everywhere joy flows free,
Everywhere we can live happily,
These are what keep on reminding me,
What you and me could be.
I don't know why,
I can't keep my mind off you.
Even when I should break down and cry,
Your affection shines through!
I may just live afted all,
Pick ourselves up from our fall,
Is this love?
Of eternal doves?
Or is it our fate,
To eternally hate?
I don't know...
Does it matter anyway?
I'm just a troubled soul,
Clutching on to a lump of coal,
That was my heart before you came...
And re-kindled my dying flame!
I ask again why:
You do this even though I'll just make you cry...
Cry with my twisted, corrupt lies,
Why can't you just "bye?"
Leave me be and protect yourself,
Before my madness endangers your health!
Tell me how...
You're always there!
Tell me why...
You're never afraid!
Tell my when...
You first started to care!
Tell my who...
You really are!
Tell me where...
You'll finally let go!
...I'm not alone anymore...
(The above was meant to be sung rather than read out loud and that's why it may seem a little different...)

So far Im in love with
Love: Is it worth it?
Affection from a troubled Soul
and Controlling My Life.
-
I love all of them. It's hardto pick (a) favorite(s). They're all so good!
-
Friends or something more?
I gaze into your shining eyes,
Wondering what secrets they hide.
Twiddling my fingers, unable to speak,
Red spreading across my cheek.
I can't bring myself to ask for anything more,
Then the friendship you give, despite my heart so sore...
We can never be more then just friends,
Supporting each other through life's twisting bends.
We could never risk that with a relationship,
I'm afraid that if I ask you might just flip...
It's selfish of me to ask you like this,
If our friendship gives you such bliss.
But could we ever be anything more?
Or would we wake up on the floor?
Is it worth the risk of losing you?
I really don't know what to do...
How can I say: "I love you..."?
Should we be friends or something more...?
Love: How did it find me?
I had never believed that love was true.
It was just something for others to do...
I would never know it,
Not a single bit.
But that all changed one day,
When I heard you say...
That you enjoyed being with me,
That my presence filled you with glee.
It was then that colour returned to my world,
I realised the truth and began to unfurl...
Not truly believing a word,
Until your kiss set me as free as a bird,
I asked the world if I deserved,
To be so dearly loved?
I still don't know,
Just follow the flow...
Being all I ever wish to be;
Love: How did you find me?

xD You are an amazing artist, Flames my friend.

Thanks. What can I say? I had good inspiriation and I wouldn't be writing any if it weren't for you Sam...

Thanks. What can I say? I had good inspiriation and I wouldn't be writing any if it weren't for you Sam...
You're pulling my leg. I don't influence anybody this much. I believe its because of other people/events/things. Don't pin it all on me, I don't deserve it. Honestly.

Regardless, you make up a good percentage of my inspiriaton (with Luna and some random events making up most of the rest) and was the sole person who got me writing poetry.

Hunted
We try to run, try to hide,
Hoping we can turn the tide.
Rather then face suicide,
Caused by pain we cannot bide!
We are hunted,
Our lives are shunted,
As to Anguish we are fed...
As discrimination rears its head!
We cannot run, we shall never hide,
We shall stay at each other's side...
Fight on, their forces we divide,
We shall overcome the tide!
Hunted cruelly by the others,
At least we'll die amongst brothers,
Great friends and true lovers!
Trying to split us, don't bother...
Hunted we are, but together we are free!
-
Another great work!

Cut off...
Such loneliness in the moonlight,
Such depression ain't right.
All alone on a dark night,
Without you I have no sight,
Cannot win, cannot fight.
Cut off from the world true,
What is one like me to do?
Cut off from who I am, who?
Why do I feel so blue,
When I can't talk to you?
Emptiness is what I feel,
This loneliness feels so real...
Under darkness I kneel,
Darkness like steel...
Cut off from you, from me, from who we are...
My World Begins with You...
I don't get people,
Not one bit.
Why clash, try to be friends?
All that I need is me...
I got my values, you've got yours.
That's what I used to think...
But then I began to understand you,
Then I started to,
Hold you tightly.
My world was brighter for it,
What could have been affection had my insides lit!
It's a whole new world that I see,
One filled with people and their destiny...
So many paths to take,
So many moves to make,
Yet they all start with you...
I guess what they said was true,
There is nothing for me to do but say:
"My World Begins with You..."
(edit:)
What is 'Real'...?
What do you mean by 'real',
Can we define it as we eat our meal?
Or does the answer elude us still,
Our curiosity still without its fill?
How can we know what's right and wrong,
When we don't know the truth for which we long?
Reality is just perception, thoughts, ideas,
Of what you may or may not reach your ears...
Define what reality is and you'll see,
The problem that is haunting me.
We can never know what is really happening,
Just guess based on senses and what thoughts they bring.
Everyone sees everything in a different light,
What one sees as puny, another sees full of might.
If everyone's reality is unique to them,
Which one is right, our truthful gem?
I don't have answers or guides,
Truth be told, I can barely survive...
But think if but a moment, I request,
Unless it is truth that you detest...
How can we know that we exist at all,
That this isn't a dream in which we fall?
I would die to be with you...
As I lie here in the darkness,
The gloom, the stench, the foulness.
I can't help but thing of you, my light,
My single  glimmer of hope in this endless fight.
I would do anything for you,
Just tell me what to do.
If I had to do the impossible,
Just to make love plausible,
I would go on without hesitation,
So very strong with determination!
Do you know? Do you care?
Dare you enter my lair?
Don't you realise how much this hurts,
Of how day by day my heart is kicked into the dirt?
Death would be welcome if I,
Could never be with you, no lie...
Anything you need and I'll be there,
'Tis nothing but loving care...
If I had to bring you the world just,
So you could see:
What you mean to me,
Naught but love and none of lust,
All I want is to gain you trust,
Even if it is as a friend-to-be.
I would do,
Anything for you...
Can't you believe,
On the 'morrow's eve...
Just how ready I am?
If I could be with you for a moment,
If I could win your heart,
I would save you from the dangers,
Care for you and not be a stranger,
Show you a happiness great and new;
I would die to be with you...

(I hate to double-post, but I can't wait any longer...)
The city floor
Walking through crowds, avoiding the Noise,
Stepping past people no better than toys.
With this dull darkness engulfing us,
Spewing constantly from a passing bus.
One can't help but wonder,
At this city's roaring thunder...
I see the same people, and the same sights.
The same streets, greet me every night.
The Noise remains, nothing changes anymore,
There is nothing for me to cherish or adore.
Just endless misery for me to ignore,
Slowly crawling across the city floor...
Island Paradise...?
I stand here underneath the light,
A vision of paradise in my sight.
Finally free of the chaos and sorrow,
I finally have a bright tommorrow...!
But still, something ain't right I say,
Is this an illusion, just another day?
Of hoping tragedy doesn't come our way?
Or is it washing away, the pains of yesterday...?
I don't know, I may not care.
Being alone is what I cannot bear!
Everyday is paradise when I'm with you,
There's nothing left in life I have to do...
Tell me why I'm here,
Why depression lurks near?
Simply because this island has no love...
Cold and distant storm clouds...above...
