Best Self-Written Poetry

sometimes,
love is a big ole booger
and you're seven years old-
wise enough to know about the grossness of it,
yet curious enough to be compelled to dig.

sometimes,
you are a booger
dancing with index fingers,
longing to be picked
'cause the cilia that holds you in place
is neither comforting nor comfortable.

sometimes,
you dance with the right finger.

and sometimes,
you just don't get picked. (see more)

One year later... <
one year later...
i still wake up and wish it was a dream.
i was too young for you to leave me
i was only 14.
but time didnt care,
that the pain it caused was too much for me to bear.
one year later...
im still dependent on you like air.
i ask God that he answers my prayer.
impaired, thats what i am
since you left my side.
you were my protection, my teacher, my spiritual guide.
i tried to move onbut that day haunts me within
it hit me by suprise, my heart still achin
they told me to get up, that it was time to live
but how could i?my heart had died.
i had no motive
so i gave up, kneeled down and begin to cry.
one year later...
its been soo long...
since youve warned me about the bedbugs.
making sure i was tucked in, content and snug.
a hug, thats all i ask for just one more.
i didnt think my heart could drop any lower that the floor...
one year later...
i miss you grandpa
please come back...
just one more hug... (see more)

Little boy, I was once back then,
My father was always there, he was my superman.
People giving me trouble he would always be there,
He’ll always be around me, and just everywhere.

Things I crave, and things I bliss for,
Father would give them to me, without asking anymore.
Times have came where I gave him a headache,
Its okay, he’ll still love me at the end of the day.

Father would always smile, in a unique vivid way,
He would show family and friends, he’s jolly everyday.
Many depended on him, he was the root of the family,
His brothers and sister, he would make them so happy.

His siblings Dearest, Sincerely, Yours, and Truly,
Miss and love my father respectfully.
His brother named Forever, join my father into the skies of non oblivion,
Where they would both be missed, loved, and never be forgotten. (see more)

Confused, Lonely, and Frustrated before I have found myself;
It was a time when troubles
Always seemed to find me-
When I just don't know what to do;
Always seeking for a way to find that one thing
That would banish Misery forever.
Days, months, and years had passed;
I still haven't found it.
It wasn't until I began looking around me and myself,
I found out the only problem was me-
Not having enough Trust that I was able to do it.
It was then that I have found myself.
In the winding road of Life.
It was then when I found
Optimism, Laughter, and Fortune.
From then on I would always find myself-
When I was down, I would get up
I don't know what the future holds
But I am certain that
I would discover my Unwinding Destiny in time.

just right now i'll set out to design;

a rhythmical writing of words that are mine.

come along on this ride, i want to take you with me;

but this might take a while, you should first get up and pee.

okay, are you back? are you ready to go?

this flight departs right this instant;
i'll be your pilot, the name's Beau =)

zoom,zoom here we go,flown away.

i'm bored already, this is sounding so gay.

i'm trippy, you pee-pee'd. you all think i've smoked joints?

naw, it's quite simple it's just for the points!

You know you are in love
When you look at that special person's picture
No matter how normal the picture maybe
You can't stop smiling.

It comes to you
You feel safe
You feel warmth

That smile is a mystery
That smile is unnatural
That smile is a million pedals of a rose

And yet, you can't stop smiling.

You know you are in love
When you look at that special person's picture
You know that special person is the one
And you just can't stop smiling. (see more)

“My Collection of Stones”
by Lara Correa (me, leiris)


Since I was born
I collect stones.
Almost every one has a different shape,
a different shade of color.
I carry them in my pocket
as he wanted me to.

I keep them in an endless box.
Easy to put away,
easy to reach.

Every stone has its story,
Every stone has its meaning.
They are always there
to remind me of what is never to be forgotten.
My collection will only increase,
but in the end it hopefully will be for the best.

Some collectors do not
give the stones the attention theydeserve,
they sometimes even ignore or deny them.
But we must accept them
and we must interpret their teachings
if we want the weight to be lighter.
In this way we will become
Stronger,
Better,
Wiser. (see more)

Spotlight gleaming brightly on my face,
Thinking back, years fly by, as if it were a race.
It was as if she was the one creating the spotlight,
My hands locked together, suicide, I think I might.

I relax, tilt my head, telescope into the light,
As I blink, for a second it turns dark then suddenly bright.
For a moment I can tell I thought i’ve got you again,
I keep looking, I long for hope, but I start to strain
The magical light gets nearer to my sight,
As it gets closer, it gets darker, darker than night.
You have my blessings my love, my undying bliss,
You will forever be my love, I will never resist.

Confusable harsh heart of mine, its a fusion mess,
I feel it beats a lot slower, the machine in my chest.
I finally close my eyes from the dark and troubling concept,
I shutdown the rest of my senses, and let out my last breath..

1.

Gone on the same

Wings you rode in on.

Touching those that were

Lucky enough to see your

True beauty.



The most important gift you gave

To those who feel pain.

One last breath as strong as

The river that brought you life.



Brother your heart lives on,

A silhouette of a broken promise.

Blood runs deeper than death, and

Colder than fear.



Fortification of this tired soul, brought

By the light you provided. No surrender

To those willing to jump. This fire burns,

destined to remain until your sign.



Shards of a will stronger than iron.

The black moment of dawn approaches,

Where fear is tranquilized.

Wait for me, the splendor of

Clarity awaits…

We don't give you dreams,
We leave that to the media.

We don't give you hope,
We leave that to the books.

We don't give you fair trial,
We leave that to the courts.

We don't give you goals,
We leave that to the schools.

We don't give you faith,
We leave that to the churches.

We don't give you a flag to burn,
We leave that to the protesters.

We don't give you freedom,
We leave that to you.

The only thing we are here to do,
Is to make sure that no one,
Can take it away from you. (see more)

Here I sit in my chair
Waiting for the phone to ring
It does, it's dad
Might take up to four days

The same last four numbers?
In the whole US?
Pretty common numbers,
but they are not that common
The bastards, seeing Ray
He took my engine for a ride.
Wanted my car out of his garage.

One on the ground and one on the hanger..
Two engines swaying, one so freely.

My brother drove off in the car three weeks ago - haven't seen him since.
He got arrested again, so the bail was set.

He said masonry work is too hard. Doesn't work, roams around. "He shoulda went and did it." Why not? He doesn't wash his clothes anyway.

I watch a black bird with a green head - one of those starling kind. Pulling up branches - looking for the perfect nest. I hope he doesn't move around here - "I don't like them kind."

Try and figure out why I am so broke.

Its been a longer winter than usual.

Too long. A lot of it is the economy.

Hope I can make a buck, save a few, and move... (see more)

I second motion on what Jam305 said,
That was pretty dope, for sure we'll knock you dead.
Might want to think about your ranking spot,
It'll be tough, and we can make you drop.

If that doesn't work, we' will come out and get you,
For we don't play around, we're mad competitiors, its true.
You'll get a lot of respect, if you are on the high,
If not, you gotta rackup points and try.

I got oNe, norcal, and Natalie with me,
Anyone messes with me, it isn't gonna be pretty.
Go enter up comps, its the best thing to do.
Peace out, I'll see you all and be friendly on iBeatYou. (see more)

Fly like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
Walking on the road-
with a tight panty,

Tell her she pretty
but she really ugly,
So give-her some sweet
green-tea

I sit in the shadow of your mind

A faint thought of a woman you once met


I hoped that you would notice, when I passed you by

The way I looked into your eyes

And when I held your hand

The electricity between us, sparked a demand

The warmth of your eyes penetrate mine

Peer into my soul

Let me drown in those oceans

Fall deep into your eyes

Dark brown endless seas

Let me drink at your shore

I marvel at your form

Bid you bring it near

That I might sample and explore

That which I find there

Still, you linger out of reach

But I still may dream

That the shadow of your mind

You once again shall meet (see more)

i see you everyday.
and i wish that somehow, just somehow
you knew how i felt.
how when you smile at me,
or laugh with me,
or even tease me,
my hear melts into a puddle on the ground
and i smile for the rest of the day
because that one second of your attention
means that i was on your mind
and that’s enough to make me smile for a lifetime.

but i’ve seen what you did to her.
how she cried in secret,
how her heart broke almost everyday.
and how she claims that she’s over you
and she’s moved on
but she’s dying for you on the inside
i want to believe that that’ll never happen to me
but she didn’t think it would happen to her

no one knows what i see in you
they think your different, and that i should stay away from you
but how can i?
you make me come back.
you have that one smile. that one look. that certain laugh.
and those two, beautiful eyes.
i look into those, and know that we’ll end up together.
but no one understands.
no one knows.
not even you. (see more)

Shadow's Breath


The path we follow,
it ends somewhere. Choose
wisely or you may fall.

Granted the past, look forward and do not regret. Memories live strong and die hard.

Time is in no hurry, eternity being the only guideline. Life is a series of interconnected choices, there is no right or wrong, just different endings.

Learn, do not fret.
There is a purpose to everything. The answers we seek come, when shadows breath comes knocking... (see more)

I'll douse the world
in gasoline and oil.
You strike the match
and we'll run like hell
Won't you help me
burn the world down?

We'll dance in the flames
and laugh as the fires consume
everyone and everything.
We'll dance in the flames
and laugh and hold each other
forever and ever and ever.

No storm no flood
can ever stop the flames.
Come hell or high water,
let it all burn to ash.
See the fire go higher and higher,
see my love for you get stronger and stronger.

I want to love you like a flame,
completely and uncontrollably.
My heart burns with every beat,
with every breath and every stare.
I want to love you like a flame,
raging forever and ever.

An undying passion, an enduring heat.
The sweetest blasphemy in every degree.
Won't you help me destroy the hate,
Burn this dying world with our love?
Won't you help me stop the pain?
Won't you help me burn the world down? (see more)

Death is portrayed in ways to make you fear it

Clear it, from the confinements of your mind and never near it

Never hear it, but its something we'll all share and

Something were all scared of, even if we never shared it

Weve all bared it, through friends burdens, my grandmother

His brother, our mother, they're cousins, and her lover

In great numbers, makes you wonder and try to stop it
But its always put off for the more light hearted topic

Not with my soul plagued ten fold by tornadoes

Epidemics without cures, guns cocked and locking say sos

Straight to the grave from the cradle
Seems like yesterday I had play-doh and legos,

now Im 18 with a fate thats unseen
Had dreams and beliefs of four wings and a halo,

but havent lived my life that way, trying to change so my hopes can range

I guess I heaven is my answer to death (see more)

roses are red,
butterflies, they do roam.

i'm havin a hard time,
writing my next poem.

but i want the damn points,
gimme,gimme,must have it.

having a harder time breaking my "be silly" habit.

cause i don't like the sadness.
i don't like the pain.

i don't like when i've just washed the car,
and now it's starting to rain!

i'd much rather make you laugh,
than be tHe_oNe to make you cry.

don't hold it against me,
i'm just that type of guy!

so give me a 5 or give me a 1,
just give me a smile before you are done.

now that's about it,
should be time for the ending.

i better catch up on all the notifications y'all been sending. =)

PEACCCCCCCCE!!!!!!

an average day my brother and i

never thinking or wondering why

the world was like this we would just fly right by

until this black bmw would one day reply

my brother was gone in the blink of an eye

and he no longer wonders as he flies through the sky

so next time you think about it just give it a try,

and you should never ever turn a blind eye.
