- Poetry > Free Verse
Tell me again how I should eat, Because the scale tells me how I hardly deserve to breathe. I’m stronger than you, I’m stronger than the food, How else could I manage without a meal as long as I do? Instead, I will let my wrists bleed, And my stomach scream, And my bones shake. But thatâ... - Poetry > Free VerseLove is a fragile thing, Hard to come by nowadays. We take it for granted. We over say it and underuse it. We accuse and abuse it. It’s the same sad story every time. But one of these days, And it will come sooner than you think, You’ll begin to realize, That love really is a fragile...
- Poetry > Free VerseChildren grow up, Some too fast. But I've come to prefer, To stay in the past. Where mermaids are real, Peter Pan too, Only a fool doesn't know, Fairy tales are nothing but true. You can't wait to grow up, But in due time you...
- Poetry > Free VerseI believe in the stars. Nothing phases them, Because no matter what those stars will be in the sky tonight, Shining just as bright as they did yesterday, Or as they did fifteen years ago. I have confidence in the wind. It brings change, Because tomorrow I will fly a kite, And it will fly a...
- Poetry > Free VerseRags to riches, Riches soon to dust. I’ve loved and lost. I’ve lived and died. My tears stain the pages of my life, I wish it would end, But the pain goes on for days. The days turn to weeks, The weeks turn to months, And the months keep on coming. Smiling hurts, I’ve frowned for...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou don’t know me. You know my face, But not my fears. You know my clothes, But not the bruises they cover. You can see the color of my eyes, But not the tears they’re repressing. You know my voice, But not my screams. You don’t know my story. You don’t know me. Wh...
- Poetry > Free VerseWe look up to you as if we should be living up to your expectations, Rather then our own, But you look down on us as if we are your servants. Your judgmental eyes staring us down, Looking, Just looking for your next gossip scandal. You’re the queen of the school, The boys’ hearts, And ...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou hide your lies behind your mask, Your mask of beauty. You hide your sins behind your strut, Your strut of beauty. You hide your victims within your tales, Your tales of beauty. You take their lives with your words, Your words of beauty. You hide the beast with your beauty, You hide behi...
- Poetry > BalladI know I have a name, A face, And a voice. I know I have a heart, A love, And a song. I know I have two eyes, A vision, And a dream. I know I have a past, A present, And a future. I know I’m someone, Anyone, And no one. But the harder I try, The more I’m warped into fa...
- Poetry > Free VerseThat beautiful October day, Flower petals swept the wooden floor, The music playing slow, The soothing murmur of voices from all of those in the pews, And the dresses, Oh, the lovely dresses. I said I do, and you did too. But, if only I knew. The fights, the strikes, and the blows. The sc...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhen we begin, As babies, We have the innocence of a thousand angels. Mommy and Daddy cradle our tiny bodies. 5 seconds in, And they’re already wrapped around our tiny fingers. We grow into children, The boo boos, Too many to count, But Mommy and Daddy are still there to dry our tears. ...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhen we close our eyes, We enter a new dimension. The haze clouding our thoughts clears, If only for a few hours. All of the real world’s drama evaporates Into peaceful silence. Life begins anew. We lay, Like babies, Swathed in our dreams. We are oblivious of all who watch, Loathing o...
