A couple of the poems I've written.
Pain is Bliss
The bliss that the pain brings
courses through my system.
Burning cold as it reaches
My dead heart.
Seep into my skin.
Shut down my brain.
Let me find the light in the
Darkness.
My toes.
My fingers.
Cold meets hot.
Death means living to me.
I'm dizzy yet stable.
Eyelids flutter, shutting me into
an eternal night.
The end is my beginning.
Sleep, my darling
Sleep, my darling.
Dream of freedom and peace.
I'll watch over you,
make your terror cease.
The beast that haunts you
will hurt you no more.
The window is closed,
so open the door.
Don't give in to temptation,
carve your own path.
Stray from the Devil,
run from his wrath.
I'll protect you always,
here in my arms.
So sleep softly,
while I watch the alarms.
Deadly Peace
I pull onto the narrow road.
Stop and park.
Step out onto the stiff, wet grass.
A nervous anticipation flutters in my stomach.
It's eerie yet somehow peaceful to be here.
In the place where the dead lie.
The headstones are shining,
both in sun and in shade.
Just a glimpse gives a sliver of insight
into their lives and untimely deaths.
It's a complicated feeling to describe.
I find a peace at the same time as I feel pain.
The hole created nearly four years ago
rips open as I approach my destination.
It's not enough to bring back all the pain.
Just enough to knock the breath out of me.
I finally see the tree, the bench,
and my best friend's grave.
The wind ruffles my hair as I talk to her.
I know she's with me.
Sitting beside me.
I miss her more than words can explain.
Tears start rolling down my cheek,
and she comforts me silently,
in a way no one else can.
The death of a friend is so painful,
few know the depth of the agony.
But even though she's gone,
she is still with me,
Coming to this place so many shy away from,
I find a happiness, a calm I can find
Nowhere else.
Dedicated to Holly E. Cramer. I'll love you and miss you forever Holly by Golly. We weren't blood related, but I considered you one of my sisters.
You're one of my best friends.
Goodbye
You took my heart,
Stole it right from my chest.
You don’t even know
That you’re my own personal criminal
I wish I could forget your face,
That voice I almost didn’t hear.
Those icy eyes that could make me blush,
Red as the blood that runs through your veins.
You sleep softly, not burdened in the least.
I stifle the yearning cries I try so hard to hide.
I see you in my dreams, walking toward me.
I only wish that was reality.
I pass you in the hall,
But you don’t know I exist.
I look, try to grab your attention,
But it’s a fruitless attempt at recognition.
You’re leaving me.
Do I not deserve a chance,
A chance to know you?
You’re leaving me without a hello or goodbye.
I sit, wishing I knew how your arms would feel around me.
How your voice would sound when whispering in my ear.
How your eyes would delve into my soul.
How your lips would curve to smile in my direction.
Will I never get a chance to find true happiness?
Never get to say a true goodbye to my
Unrequited love?
Perfection
That shiny piece of glass
reflects exactly who you are.
The tiniest detail is amplified,
each blemish and imperfection
advertised like a Las Vegas neon sign.
Look away.
Reach for the color, the disguise.
Unzip the easy answer.
Take out the pieces of the mask.
Put them together,
one by one, like a puzzle.
No one needs to see the real you.
Hide the broken pieces that are you.
Smear on a smile, grimace no more.
Smooth out the terror and the worry.
Take your time.
The show must be reenacted perfectly
or someone may start poking and prodding.
Possibly they'll stumble upon your secrets.
No one can know.
No one can find out.
Draw on some interest,
hide the blankness in your eyes.
Creat a brightness with a simple line.
Put some color in your cheeks.
Cover up the bruises with a flick of the wrist.
Now, take a look.
The facade is in place.
The true you buried deep.
Don't let go of that outer perfection
you've tried so hard to keep in place.
Hide behind it so your secrets aren't spilled.
Dear Diary
Dear Diary, why me?
Why does he care for me so?
I don't deserve it.
I can't take his love.
Dear Diary, I know he'll leave.
Once he knows who I really am,
he'll leave me in the dust.
Everyone does.
Dear Diary, he's everything I want.
But I won't drag him down with me.
He's sunshine and I am a dark, stormy night.
He needs someone better.
Dear Diary, I can't stay away.
I need him more than I realized.
I'm weak and broken,
and he's the glue that keeps me together.
Dear Diary, he's the one.
He needs me as much as I need him.
Miraculously, he loves me.
And I love him.
Dear Diary, I may not be perfect,
but I know that's okay.
People see us and stare,
thinking he can do better.
It no longer matters what people think.
They'll just have to deal with it.
If you do or don't like anything, please tell me. I appreciate and respect anything you say.

I love your writing style.
The way your lines break.
Awesome stuff.
My favourite is Deadly Peace.
“A young girl is a creature of dreams, my lord.
A woman with one foot in the world of fantasy,
searching for the face of true love in every handsome boy she sees.”

Thanks. Poetry helps me release a lot of the stuff I tend to hold in. Deadly Peace is really close to my heart. Took a lot of guts for me to write
that one and let other people see it.

No. Thanks for reading them though. It means a lot! My school doesn't have a poetry magazine or any magazine. Or even a newspaper. My high school
isn't very big. There's only around 1000 people, including staff. And my town has like 6000 or so people. But anyways, thanks for reading and
commenting. I appreciate it.

I think you have potential. Try searching the net for competitions and stuff to join in.
Either way you should keep going at it.
