I am not aware of where we venture,
Will I arrive or plunge
The divide? That infamous icy mundane,
Of tee shirts and denim.
Try wrench it all apart,
By the close seamed collar
Que: watching a string on its snail route south,
Unfurling- as we are.
Perchance I may like that.
A cotton grey gossamer.
The spool has spun gold and its remnants
Gild the grey.
Light is lustful whilst it’s dancing,
Falling leaves.
My autumn is upon me-
Falling, please.
Never let me go
still hold on
even though a million things
Could go wrong
Never forget to
Let me see
That when you’re here
Together we’re free
Never stop believing
In who we are
Because together we are one
One daring star
Never forget that I’ll
Always be here
Ever dreaming on
Keeping you near
Never let our eyes
Turn away
From what is true
From our sacred way
Never let me cry
Lonely and alone
Remind me always
That we’ve made a home
Never forget to always
Fall hard for me
To remember that we are
Young and alive and free
Never be afraid
To dare just a little
‘cause together we are
Strangely invincible
Never forget that I love you
With all I am or ever will be
That together we are one
And that together we are
FREE
I try so hard to make sure that I please.
I wonder in my thoughts that are oh so free.
My mind is the only place where I can ever be me.
One day someone will see just how great I can be.
I have a great view on everyday life.
Though sometimes I have negative thoughts.
I hope that one day I will make a loving wife.
I never got the sensation I always sought.
This is a poem of personal desires.
You may not understand.
To you this poem may not require.
To my life I will always be in demand.

like a shadow in my dreams
a flashback in my mind
your face keeps on appearing
out of nowhere I seem to find
a picture painted on my brain
it's like you're burned into my skin
how can I explain it? where do I even begin?
everything I do
i can't concentrate because
all I think of is you
a silhouette in the light
a portrait in a frame
a glimpse of movement in the dark
thoughts of you remain
I see each face,
shadows of the past.
Fallen from grace,
they never did last.
They shine in the dark,
and echo in the silence.
A different mark,
they stole my patience.
Do you accept my fate,
a destiny you see as horror.
I'm not your usual date,
no longer the girl in the mirror.
by Fatima
Thinking of you,
you in my head,
me in my bed.
I wonder if you ever did this,
Me in your head,
You, in your bed
but I am sure it never happened,
I ain't that good to occupy someone's head,
I am no angel, no queen,
I need no prince, no king
I will do better alone,
just lying in bed,
having you in my head,
And if you have ever did that,
you would know how it feels
to love, to dream,
but I wonder if you ever did that,
lying on bed, with me in your head.

Happy Anniversary, my Sweet Love!
For you, I thank the Lord above
You’ve given me hope, inspiration, and truth
Because of you I feel never-ending youth
When heavy storms have come our way
Your love has always made me stay
Each morning I wake and see your face
I know, in you, I’ve found my place
Our bond is extraordinary, beautiful, and real
It’s remarkable how wonderful you make me feel
We belong together, you and I
That, the world cannot deny
Never in my life will I find another man
Who could ever fulfill me the way you can
The life we’ve shared this past year
Has proven forever it shall persevere
I will love you forever in every way
That will remain constant until my dying day.

Quiet tears fall down her face,
She’s her dad’s option and her mother’s disgrace.
She hides behind a shadow of what you want her to be,
Her achievements get shunned by only what you want to see.
Her biggest goal in life is for him to call her his,
I bet you didn’t realize how lonely she really is.
Heavily she waits for shooting stars and falling lashes,
One minute she’s content then the next she crashes.
You pass her in the hall, to acknowledge you resist,
You just proved her right that friendship doesn’t exist.
She waits for your approval getting scarred by your mouth,
While your ego is floating her self-appreciation goes south.
To be his kryptonite she’d be devoted from the start,
The promise he’d make would mend every broken heart.
She’d fall in his arms and cry into his chest,
She’d been waiting for the day when someone knew it was her best.
Trust, a foreign word to human society.
A word commonly used but not understood
Spoken from deceiving lips and crushing mouths
Rarely understood
Stabbed by knives
Shot with daggers of countless lies
a malediction not understood
Sugar coated, nicely wrapped with bow and all
definitely not a gift in disguise
rather a shit full of lies
Trust our liability, a foreign word to our human society
by Red Liberty
lately i feel like things have taken a turn for the worst
lately i feel like things have slipped right past me
lately i feel departed from society
lately i feel like I'm at the beginning of a closed road
lately has been a tough going and I'm asking you for a little faith to keep me
stable, to keep me capable. hold my hand and love me unconditionally.
lately i have been undeserving
lately i have been cold
lately i have been wrapped up in myself
lately i haven't walked the valuable path of life
lately my reality has been distorted and unknown from me. i have sat back and
let the damned steal something so critical to my own existence.
lately i have been deceitful to the ones i cherish and respect.
i have been deserted by the ones who said they'd stay through the thick and thin.
lately i have burned all of my bridges and have sent everyone running away in
terror.
lately i haven't breathed the fresh air around me,
lately i haven't been who i used to know.
lately i realized life is meant to be lived.
lately i have taken the hand of support.
lately i have confessed.
lately i decided to be apart of my own life.
by Marti
what the eyes can see is not what defines me
not even the fears, lies, or hyperactivity
mom don't worry, i'm not your insecurities
my heart, spirit, the blood in my veins, are all god's property
i was told that god doesn't make junk
well why do the beatings makes me feel like a punk
each strike destroying joy and leaving pain
how much abuse can a child sustain
verbally and physically
i thought you loved me unconditionally
i'm like you, why don't you love us
feeling so blue from the smacks
no longer blue, all i feel is black
walking around, sometimes numb
no e.d. class for me, i'm not dumb
i want to be loved, i want to grow
teach me... show me that you know
by Tristan
heaven is a far place to be, but i know you're alright,
away from all this misery.
looking down upon us, like you used to do
like the great parent you are, i want to be like you
you were always there, through thick and thin
you helped us so much
we NEVER thought you'd give in,
and here we are on this day
a day that god's angels can take their fallen angel away,
crying is an amazing thing ,
it does us no harm but helps us just think,
i know you are safe, in god's arms
we all miss you so much and hope you're not harmed
but we all know that you are in heaven,
please visit us sometime, round half past eleven?
I love that look
That charming smile
I was enchanted by her fragrance
The distance is killing me
Not being able to see her
Not being able to have her
I want to have her face to face
I need to tell her how I feel
I can’t get her out of my mind
I would steal a kiss from her
And wish she'd go crazy
Tomorrow I will make her fall in love with me,
I won’t stop until she loves me
I want to kiss her
And shelter her with my arms
She will be my day and night
dear no one in particular,
these words i write are peculiar.
you can smile or furrow your brow.
this proves i love you and i'll tell you how.
you can read this letter left to right.
i will explain how you were my light.
but no i wont 'cause you messed up.
you saw another girl and said "wusup?"
so this is my letter to you from me.
a simple gesture as to who you used to be.
Rejection is the biggest infection in this heart of mine,
It seems my stars in the darkness will never align.
Your lust and confusion in one bittersweet kiss,
I break my own heart in moments of bliss.
I think of the time when you said I was perfection,
And take it to the heart like a poisonous injection.
Your desire and taste crash onto my lips,
Then your eyes black out like an enthralled eclipse.
You obtain those feelings that make the heart sore,
In my soul so softly you whisper no more.
I swallow your excuses like a straight shot of whiskey,
I make a wish on your eyes hoping that you’ll miss me.
A girl can’t settle for your heart wrenching teasin’
She wants your emotions, not your logic and reason.
Maybe you will listen, maybe I am crazy,
Maybe I will wake up in a world not hazy.
I just want to know how your heart is dealing,
It might be classified as a tenuous dam of feeling.
You were once bruised and your heart is now tattered,
See what I see and know you are no longer battered.
Meet me half way and we can walk without end,
Let us set fire to this crusade and love thy best friend.
A friendship that will never fail.
A love that makes the sun look pale.
A life that passes way too fast.
This is the real me and I will last.
Do you remember the thoughts we used to share?
Do you remember the way you used to care?
Can you tell me why you walked away?
Can you tell me why you couldn't just stay?
Say the words and the poem will end.
Have you finished your apologies?
Well, good. The end.

Do what you love
Love what you do
Many a time
We forget to follow through
It’s like a clock
Just ticking away
Our lives will be over
And what will people say
She was nice
He was fun
But what will you think
When it’s all done
Did you do what you wanted?
Did you find your knack?
Did you accomplish your goals?
Or did you just sit back?
We should have no regrets
When we are on our way out
Everyone, including you
Should know what your life
Was all about.
Last year
I was the new kid
At school
Lonely and shy
I always stood aside
Too afraid to say ,"hello"
As everyone passed me by.
Last year
I was the new kid
At a new church.
I remember staring up
At the humongous building,
Thinking if I would meet anyone
In such a large place.
I quickly found friends and finally
Accepted God.
Last year
I met new people soon to become
Best friends
I met bad people and shot out my
Hatred.
Last year
I met a boy that stole my heart
He wasn't mine
I would've been his if he'd only asked
And, oh how my heart ached
To be his.
I painfully watched
As the days rolled past me
And the boy never asking.
Last year
Was last year so now
I should move on
With my life,
Reaching out for what's ahead
and leave what's left behind, behind.
by Lia H.R.
Standing alone In the freshly cut lawn sipping the lemonade From my aged teacup. Looking at empty chairs And empty tables, wondering Why you left Why you died. Sitting on cool grass Watered by my tears, Screaming out your name What if? What if? Walking through my Memories of you and me And their car and your car. Fire seared to the back of My mind, hot and flaming as it Reaches towards me. Your ghost smile and Dead laughter echo in my sleep. Tear-stained face and choked voice As you slip away. I grasp. I stretch. I never make it… Open eyes and blank stares As the blood pools around you Broken smile and furrowed brow Could not believe it was true. Call me selfish But why aren’t you here? Call me cold But why are you dead?

Walking down the hallway
I look down and see
the remains of a memory
can't throw away the key
I try to push away the feelings
I run from our past
can't face I may still love you
we were both too toxic to last.
we wanted different things
I longed for just a kiss
your words were just deceitful
all you wanted was physical bliss
memories shake my bones
and I can never forget your lips
The way you looked me in the eyes
with your hands upon my hips.
that night, I can never take back.
you're just a ghost to me
how could I ever think
we were possibly meant to be?
Move on, move on,
is what I scream in my head
But honestly I can't lie to myself
I want you here instead
Don't make me fall again
I can't bear the pain
My love exploded in your eyes
Our memories just a stain.
by Abigail
A bleak fractured world
Holds me hostage
Cloaks my armor
A world where it’s not okay to cry
and they tell you to stop acting like a fool
Where someone commits the barbaric act of murder
but they dismiss
Irony manifested into men with crisply starched suits
looks upon an unforgiving sadness of hostility
Of never knowing
If only the world knew that within the mask they hide
Is a heart
lathered in a coarse substance
that people call hope
A periwinkle birdbath
In desperate need of repair
hope takes on many forms
a squall of identity
assures me that the world
is not a happy place
but rather a place
of problems born anew
by Artemis Moon
It burns through my body
Where blood and breath should flow.
Am I dying?
What have I done?
No one hears my screams, no one sees my tears.
It's so painful, and I feel so lost
So blurred
So shamed.
No one sees me fall, no one sees my faults.
They cry no tears, below.
Still I feel their pain, above.
by Kaytlyn
Face white, like seeing a ghost
Her body stopped as she slowly froze
Her blood turning cold as her mind slips away
Back to a time, back to that day
She remembers the laughs, the smiles, the fun
Before all of this had begun
Her skin is cold and hard to the touch
For she had been trying to hide so much
No expressions, and no more feelings
She felt like her life didn't have any meaning
Her heart beats but her eyes are cold
For she wish she could say all the things untold
Surrounded by people, she was stuck in the middle
Trying to figure out life's confusing riddle
