A Dying Rainbow
A Dying Rainbow

I'm always told that I'm such a wonderful person
And that I'm thoughtful, caring, kindhearted, and so important
But they don't see what's behind closed doors, the constant clashes with torment
Damage goes unseen as I blanket everything with cold smiles that seem slightly burdened

My tears quake while they hide behind my blackened shades
My hands tremble because I'm holding onto so much of this hate
My body is painted nonchalant so I have to appear in an emotionless state
My blood system is clogged with suicidal thoughts that make me want to break

I've been like this far too long
I wish I died before this had begun

The TruthThe Truth

Nothing in this world…                                                    will ever be equal.

That is why bad things happen…                                               to good people.

That is why death is life's…                                                    only sequel.

Stand.All my life I've been waiting for something that never came,
But I will forever stand my ground and never lose this game,
I've had my pride stepped on and my world turned upside down,
My heart broken and tossed around,
I've come close to just giving up and throwing it all away,
But that is a non-existent day.
Call me names, talk shit, and do whatever the fuck you want,
I'll just laugh in your face and call you a cunt,
I am unable to be moved,
You may hurt me, stun me, or shock me,
Though you will never break me,
Just know I will never give up,
I have friends and family who love me,
Who will forever stand beside me,
As I will sta
A Poets DreamSomeday I will steal a poet
and make her yearn for me.
Her eyes will be as beautiful
as the words she speaks.

In the night
I will make her sing.

When morning comes
to shine its light,
those eyes will hold no resentment
or animosity.

She will place no blame upon my skin,
neither real
nor perceived.

She will see me for who I am really am.
She will see me for me.

At that moment
I will light her way
and she
will smile for me.    
Burghead Beach
Burghead Beach

I am playing tag with God.

Taunting the bowl in a deadly
tango, a tango of risk and the roll of a
dice.
A dice of watery
consequences.

Stepping over patient
rocks, I marvel at
mirrors to another world.
A world in which armies of
organic flame forcefully
bow to a deity that
pulls a hood of pure
navy over the skin
of its own
king.

A leaf of blue.

Each shimmering haze of
terrifying ice and
bitter gems
lead to
spiralling divers.
Divers that start from the left and
work their way until
modern art is submerged by
the drifting octopus of
autumn branches.

I see small vortexes,
where the specks have
crafted tunnels that so
Quartz and StoneAugmented flesh of quartz and stone.
rotting slowly, by Chronos, till bone.
Grooves of time, over malachite,
mark rare beauty, each passing night.
I look away torn, and shed my tears,
as I recognize my darkest fears.
Those weathered lines on stone face fine,
are the very same, marked on mine.
Become The ForestI am but a mere wanderer
In a forest of illusions.
The trees restrain me
With branches like daggers
And I can't make it home.

They lurk in the shadows
Proud like they've been blessed.
I haven't given in
And I will not fall.
There will be no time wasted.

(The peace has been depleted.
I'll win the battle amongst the gods.)

Suddenly I am running down a hall
With creatures chasing after me.
And of course, there's
That one locked door at the end…

Break it down! Break it down
Or get beat down! Get beat down!
(And yes, there had to be
A hole on the other side…)

Falling down the abyss…
Slowly falling asleep…
PleaseI want you to love me
A little like I love you.
Like lovers kissing
For the first time that
It sets the world on fire.

And I plan to burn down
With it because I keep failing
To realize that I'm more than
Just a body for you to touch,
A body for you to hold.

You arms around my ribs
Makes me feel so fragile,
But so safe that I could not
Possibly break while you
Contain me.

And I can feel you hand slipping
From mine even though I beg
You to stay because I hate
The word goodbye and how
You look as you walk away.

Please,
I want you to remember me
When you arrive.
And I want you to remember me
When you leave me behind.
CourageEverybody will have one or multiple fears,
Some of them can bring us to tears.
Our fears will never leave us,
A fear is something we will always possess.

When we face that which we fear,
Even if it's only once a year.
We might be scared to death,
Slowly trying to get control over our breath.
Our heart is beating at a much faster pace,
We might even try to maintain a straight face.

Someone who is courageous,
Even if what that person does might be outrageous.
Is somebody who still fears like you and me,
But who still dares to be and think free.

True courage is not hiding from your fear,
But to face your fear head on, even if you'
It gets betterIt might not have been your day,
With the sky above turned all gray.
You might ask yourself why?
Sometimes it feels like you slightly die.

You carry this secret with you,
It might make you feel a bit blue.
You don't dare to tell another person,
Fearing your image might worsen.

Fearing of what they might think,
Fearing they might leave you in a blink
Thinking what you will say
When you will tell your parents you're gay

But the actual feeling when you tell,
Even if it might feel slightly like hell.
You know that you are now free,
And you know it will get better,
on that you can trust me.
Free WillFree Will.

Is free will a devout gift or a curse?

Was it free will that granted a desperate man to steal an old lady's purse?

Was it free will that resulted in multiple bodies carried in a hearse?

Was it free will that justified a police officer to shoot the accused first?

Was it free will that allowed a family man's mentality to be so perverse?

Could this world of ours get any worse?

Free will gives us the chance for all of us to be distinctive.

But as a consequence people can act corruptive and vindictive.

But without this choice, our lives would be constrained and restrictive.

Undoubtedly these two differing perspectives are cont
Ink GravesLetterless words and pageless books-
and ink blots on the flowers;
Ghosts scratch their heads and tap their pens,
all across the hours.

Winds can howl and cease to be,
by one twitch of my pen;
I spoke of writing a poem tonight,
and by dawn I've written ten.

Emily sits aside nobody,
the Raven, above, waits;
Frost dances in a yellow wood,
among the long lost dates.

A tall, well spoken willow,
looms over the grave;
Protecting every dated word,
and every thought they gave.

I crumple another masterpiece,
with thoughts I'd thought to save;
and as it strikes the baset bottom,
it rests in its ink grave.
Lullaby!Gentle heartbeat old as time
Metronome tempo close to mine.

There at night when claimed by sleep
Early morning hear its beat.

Two hearts quintessentially  sing
Melody soft, substance takes wing

Crooning beautifully, no stop or start.
Syncronized rhythmn, beating hearts.

In tune with life, tender lullaby
softly sung like angel's sigh.

My EndymionI was never a fond of love;
I never invited it into my bed,
nor gave it my tears.
Not that it would ask.

And yet tears I do now give,
in sacrifice.
To a man who never asked nor incited such feelings.
Feelings that crowd my mind,

And weigh my chest down.
With uncontrolled emotions that spire into fires of passion.
Pretty words seeming so small to describe,
the obsolete moment of truth that banishes dreams for reality.

Oh how the light so gently touches you,
and that smile.
That gives me a smile of my own.
This is a tragedy of situation my friend.

Sorrow for joy;
my dear Endymion.
DreamsWhat wonders the imagination can bring
  With opened ear and untamed eye
 Dreams that we shall toss and fling
  And float about towards the sky

 By luminous light of thought
  Day and night will awaken newly
 And become what you have sought
  To find your most distant Thule

 Never letting go of that which we cherish
  The spirit of innocence and truth
 Why without it, what would we but perish?
  In the darkness of lost youth

I regret every given sin
Replaying it all in my mind

Tattoos repent on my skin
They're serving a lifetime

Scars reveal past pain
And it's all mine

I see my eyes! / I fear my lies!
I scream inside! / I hide behind!

Tears won't fade! / Lost my faith!
I'm not okay! / It's too late!

Into my fallen reality

I put up a poor act
My transparent sanity

My soul finally snapped

To be outspoken

Tomorrow

:iconominoushero:

Tomorrow

It's so complex
In the minds of society
But once asked
An answer falls instantly

I would have never guessed
I felt that way about you
But now that I look at our past
My next words are true

I would miss you, beyond anything
I undoubtedly would become so broken
I would fall into sorrow and confusion
I never want that to happen
-
Every human goes through it though
We're given a life
But in the end we have to let it go
When it's our time

But I never want you to leave
I need you to stay
Who else would be there for me?
When I'm having the worst day

My tears fill up these thoughts
Glistening in my eyes
That simple question is too tough
To answer with a lie
-
It's so difficult
Inside the happy memories of us
I want to see more
And build a stronger trust

You know I hate change
But I know nothing stays the same
I guess I should value everything we have today
Because one day, it will all be in the past, and it'll be too late

I don't know why
But I couldn't give you an answer
Then I started to cry
After you asked "How would you feel if I died tomorrow?"

A friend asked me the other day "How would you feel if I were to die tomorrow?" and I just stayed silent, and got lost in my thoughts.

He's my best friend, and he's done a lot for me. He's a big part of my road to recovery. I don't know what I would do without him.

How would you feel if your best friend were to die tomorrow?

I love when poems end with a question. I don't know why, I just do. Makes me reevaluate and have more appreciation for the friendships that I have. I really enjoyed this =^_^=

Wow, powerful writing! Great job on this. I don't usually comment on poetry stuff since that's my weakness, but I feel like this deserves something. I've thought about these kinds of things before, it usually makes me really sad and then I stop thinking about it.. I know, stupid, but I don't like thinking about what I'd do if those I loved were to die tomorrow.. Once again, great job! Keep writing, you're very talented :)

But I know that if my best friend was to die... No .__. I don't know what I'd do :(
