^Thanks hun!!

 

Heres sum new stuff ::

 

Silent screams

 

I’ve been sitting here for ages

We’ve been sitting here for decades now

Were still flipping the same pages

Pages of a book of doubt

 

Were still waiting for something new

Something that can stop the fall

And make us smile like we used to

But her hearts still set to silent call

 

And she screams, she screams

But they know she’s just another lie

Well it seems it seems

She never really tried, I know she never really tried

Cause no one hears her silent screams.

 

Were still sitting here

But she doesn’t pay attention

She’s too busy minding her scars

Were heading for disaster

 

The ribbon around her heart says “I bruise easily”

The ribbon on her wrist says “Only for emergencies”

She proved them both right and wrong

This morning they called, she’s gone she’s gone

 

And she screams, she screams

But they know she’s just another lie

Well it seems it seems

She never really tried, I know she never really tried

Cause no one hears her silent screams.

Thanks FeRo.

 

I wrote this during my astro lab last week.

 

 

A blank and awaiting page

Serves as the writer's empty stage

He builds up sets to fill the space

Puts props and scenery in place

He forms the characters at birth

And ages them to find their worth

He feeds them lines and gives them cues

Decides the ones who win and lose

He picks the supporters and star

But his role counts the most by far

His narrative in pure silence

Is what will wow his audience

O Singer! My Singer!

 

O singer! my singer! Your tour is almost done

Your single made top forty, your album's gone platinum

The stage is set, and you can bet your show will be a great one

The fans wait for you to appear, all wishing you would date one

But o no! no! no!

Not what we came to meet,

For on the stage my singer stands,

His voice does not ring sweet.

 

O singer! my singer! Rise up upon the stage;

Rise up-- for you the flyer's hung--your name upon the page,

For you the bright and blinding lights--for you the people screaming,

For you they call, the die-hard fans, future musicians dreaming;

Here singer! performer!

This stage beneath your feet!

It is some dream that at your show,

Your voice does not ring sweet.

 

My singer does not make a sound, his mic shakes in his hands,

My singer can not move at all, he's frozen where he stands,

The tour is only one show short of ending for the year

This is to be the best show yet and so the people cheer

Be glad while you can, dear young fans!

But I sit in my seat

For on the stage my singer stands,

His voice does not ring sweet.

 

 

 

That was my parody of "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman, one of the gretest poets to ever live. If you haven't read it, check it out here. http://www.bartleby.com/142/193.html

Scene Description

 

She cries openly and no one blames her. It’s all she can do now; she’s tried everything else. Still, whether they blame her or not, the tears traversing her face cause them discomfort, because they know that their sense of duty and comradery to the one gone is nothing compared to her love for him. One among the group, however, does feel something comparable. In fact, what she feels for the one gone is exactly what he feels for her. She speaks, her voice as broken as her heart, the tears still flowing as hot and steady as the blood in her veins, all for the one gone. “Please,” she forces out. “Bring him back.” The one who loves her frowns for a moment, his heart filled with pain and his head filled with questions. Why? Why couldn’t she love him? Why was he second to someone who felt so little for her, and everyone else for that matter, that he could just leave? But these questions are unanswerable, and despite where he falls on her list, she is always number one on his. He pulls up the corners of his mouth and shows his teeth, a brave smile to hide a broken heart. “You really love him, don’t you?” he asks, though he knows the answer, and both question and answer pain him greatly; his happiness is no where near as important to him as hers. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring him back. I promise” He lifts his hand in a thumbs-up to show her his confidence, and hopefully to give some to her, because anything that will make her the smallest bit happier than she is now, he wants her to have. He wants her to sleep tonight, not with tears and heartbreak, but with ease and hope, and he wants her to wake up to the person she needs the most, even if it isn’t him.

its a love that you dont want to admit

so you leave me here to answer my own question

your scared that we'll break again

i promise i will try

maybe this kiss will change your mind

dont runaway from your problems

cause when you get back tomorrow

they'll still be here waiting

waiting for your answers.

 

----

so tell me why i should stay when you've been nothing but pain for me. now you've realized that all the others cant compare to me. run back run back but this time you'll be running back to no one. you had your chance and you threw it away. second chances dont come your way when you've been a skank.

I wrote this one in 9th grade. I guess it was sort of inspired by 9/11

 

I hold in my hand

the golden ring

you gave me on that day.

When you told me

at the altar

in your heart I would always stay.

I hold in my mind

a memory

of the times we used to share.

Back when I was foolish

and assumed you'd always be there.

I hold in my heart

a shadow

of the love I used to feel.

I still feel it

right now

but without you it doesn't seem real.

I hold in my hand

a flower,

a rose to put on your grave.

And now,

my dearedt husband,

I pray the Lord your sould to save.

This is short and lame haha, sorry (inspired by from first to last by the way, pretty much stole their ryhme sceme haha)

 

"Your eyes are glistening again, i know he hurts you, but you won't tell me anything new, i promise now that i'm here, that you'll never have anything to ever fear.

 

When he touches you, part of me dies, My heat is shattered, everytime i hear you cry, i beg of you, don't let him destroy us.

 

In the end, i suppose it's the best, that he crushed our very last breathe, i hope your love for me will stay the same, now that you have your shallow grave.

 

Your eyes are glistening again, i know he hurts you, but you won't tell me anything new, i promise now that i'm here, that you'll never have anything to ever fear."

I wish

 

I wish I was a superhero

So I could fix my wrongs

I wish I had a clearer view

So I could get things done

I wish I knew whats in your mind

So I cant hurt you with my words

With my thoughts my drama and all the lies

My perfect way of screwing up the world

I wish that I could change my past

Cause Im tired of explaining

How the scars got on my wrists

And the way that I am hating

Everyone that makes up lies just to fit right in

Well I hope the circle fits you

Cause while I am climbing out you are jumping in

I wish that people would not be blind

Too fucking blind to see

That so far all Ive tried is to be me

I wish

oh yeah I added to this one... just to kind of put my parents divorce behind me... I couldn't just keep different pieces of poems seperate... had to mix em up... hahah

 

the room's dew, her sweat

smell the vodka on her warm breath

blood rush to her face

run, rush to escape

lashed at and unsafe

she said hes leaving

 

campgrounds and hotel rooms

is he feeling free

wondering how he spends his time

if he gets enough to eat

 

i guess its funny but it was sad

the questions

i was too scared to ask

scared to stutter or to sound weak

The day I heard my dad would leave

atleast then i still felt...

 

running water

muffled my cries

footsteps, and friends outside

bathroom tiles

cold on my side

5 minutes passed

hours flew by

i didnt know I was dying inside

 

campgrounds and hotel rooms

is he feeling free

wondering how he spends his time

if he gets enough to eat

 

questions I was too scared to ask

answers came with time

wounds and bruises in the past

but scars remain inside
