Welcome!

I ABOSLUTLY LOVED YOUR POEM IT IS AMAZING! 

own poem

cant nobody love me like you
wont nobody support what i do
ain't nobody gone keep it 100 in a world full of lies
when i want to hear the truth

Originality is key!

Im a Poet And i didnt even know it.
i ryhem and can flow it.
on tap like a mowen fosit.
like pizza doe, throw it up and toss it.
put some toppings on it.
so to add some flavor.
if you think about it we are all 3.14. Pi.
so in life always carry a life saver.
poetry is a beautiful flavor.

The howl of Arctic
Ocean roars like breaking glass
Like gentle thunder

For the scholarship, you need to submit an original poem of your own.

I am pretty sure it has to be your own original poem :)

Trapped in darkness.
Forever it seems.
An eternity I wait.
Until a slither of light navigated into my prison.

FREEDOM! I CAN GET FREE !
not quite...

Impatient I've been getting,
trying to break free.
I wiggled and squirmed until...

CRACK! POP!

My prison walls fell,
defeated.
Shaking my arms and breathing in fresh air,
feeling different than normal.
Like a brand new car.
Off into the sky I fly,
searching for others like me.

You are born with it, the first people you see, the love you have for them is always there, never have they failed, never will they fail they are always there

Obviously if it is a competition for a scholarship, the work has to be original...

You've lost my trust
Its all turned to dust
I tried to forgive and forget
But you got me too upset

No more sorrys
No more flowers
It's all going into the trash
Including all your lies

Don't talk to me
You've lost the key
No more getting in
And no more getting out
I knew I should have had a doubt

I was peanut butter
You were jelly
We were like two peas in a pod
We thought we'd be together forever

But too bad it's not true
Another lie to add to your web
The memories have all been erased
I didn't know all this time would be a waste
This was just another mistake

As the list is getting longer
I know what I must do
Erase it
Just like the memories that I thought I'd keep with you

Starting a new life
Turning a new page
The eraser is what I can count on
Unlike you
So this is the last of many goodbyes
You finally got caught in your web of lies

Everytime when it rains
I think about a lot of things
Whether its personal or not
I like to wonder what's going to happen or what's next in my life

The RAIN symbolizes a lot of things in my life
from heartache to pain, to going in the right path
and believing in myself from
crying when somethings not going right and to have a family
that loves me from who I am

Everytime when it rains
I think about a lot of things
that's just a person who I am
I never settled for less. When
I think about the Rain, I know
I gain a whole lot more because
After it rains there always
A rainbow in the sky
That symbolizes anything is possible if only you BELIEVE

Your own work...don't plagiarize!

Why when we our surrounded
We feel alone?
Why when were grounded
We feel like we are far away?

Why get up when you fall,
When you will fall harder?
Why does time go on at all,
When we feel as if it stands still?

Why build walls into a steeple
To have it crash down on you?
Why help so many people
If you can’t even help yourself?

It’s because you are unique
You stand out amongst the rest
Not because you’re physique
But because the way you imagine and think

It’s because you will sore above the rest
And live a greater escaped
Time is an everlasting quest
So do it to your best

It’s because your life is a vault
A place where you keep your secrets
Life is not about living in default
But about giving and caring

We answer the questions of our lives
More often than we think
So take a chance and dive
Head first into the sinister ecstasy

The questions we will ponder
As life goes on and time elapses
Are not those of one internal somber
But those of countless wonders

Where life will take us, we may not need
All the answers to the questions we seek
So lay down the right seed
Cause once you head forward there is no going back

Cause you are one of a kind
There are no others like you
So don’t be blind
To those complicated certain times

You will make it by yourself with strength
You will inquire life for what it has to give
You will stretch your life to the final length
Because you are here to live

So go ahead and ask the questions
That will broaden your learning
Cause in the end questions are questions
Lies are Lies
And answers are answers

But solutions are the key to every door
That will open upon the twist of knowledge
Have been be given the chance to lie
But have done so for the chance to survive

Stay the straight path and be you
When you fall off get back
Because only you can make you lose
So stick it out and pay attention
Because in the end you will be the one to remember

Live your life
Be your life
Question your life
Lead your life

They spill out your mouth like a waterfall of deceit

leading to the ocean of faces

facing the truth you have yet to

facing the sky to breathe before drowning in your lies 

getting tangled in your own net

 your web being spun Spider-Man 

 but you are no hero of mine 

 Honesty is the identity you hide 

thinking it spares lives 

while it destroys yours 

like venom it becomes you 

You submit and commit 

the seed you plant with the false words you spit poisons your state of mind 

but you don't mind 

Mind over matter but what matters to you? 

Not the truth 

'cause the truth is you cant handle it. 

It handles you 

how do you submit a poem

So,

After not talking to me for two weeks

You think you can come tell me that you miss me?

You think you can wrap your arms around me 

And call me your bestfriend?

Or as I hear it,

Your second everything.

I'm your backup plan,

Your shoulder to cry on,

When things go wrong,

I'm the one you rely on.

Why come to me?

What do I have to offer?

'Cause 2 months ago

I was all you could ask for?

Come on, step up, be a man. TRY to show it.

Don't kiss up to me now when she finally blows it!

I'm not here for games,

And I'm not here for lies.

I'm only here to laugh, 

At what you despise.

But why would I do that?

That's not me.

At least,

That's not who I used to be.

But sometimes things happen and people change.

I guess I'm starting to learn your game.

Am I doing this right?

Is it pissing you off?

Do you think you're about to lose it and scream to the top?

To the point where your voice cracks and you run out of air?

To the point where you can't see 'cause your visions not clear?

It's blocked up with tears that you're holding inside.

Your bottled up lies will spill out and swarm like flies.

If I play my cards right I will get to witness,

The truth that comes out,

I hope I don't miss this.

I promise you babe,

It'll happen real soon.

'Cause I've planted this thought inside of you.

"Is what I'm doing right? Should I say this, or that?"

"What do I say to make her come back?"

The answer my dear?

Is very clear,

I'm not coming back,

I don't reuse my trash.

loveless

i am loveless

a girl whit no heart , a girl that falls apart

a girl who is hated , is a girls who is fated 

they say roses are red 

and violet and blue 

but what will happen

if i am not next to you

my heart hurts , and my soul shake's

wayting to see you another day

A decade gone with the blast of a gun,

a bulldozer of hurt crushes us.

These changes have altered every crumb of my bread,

but it wasn't supposed to be like this.

I find myself alone in the darkness,

listening as their lies of hope seep through the walls.

They beg me to believe, but I know better.

I will not be dictated, I will not break.

There's always hope, though hard to find,

I shall keep searching, for this evil will go away,

and again,

Things will change.

My advice is too live your life. To fly higher and reach your most wanted desires. To step on the ledge of unknown opprotunities and jump into a river of adventures and possibilities.

Time

         Time is inevitable; we grow old as the clock hand goes,

                Tick, Tok Tick, Tok

      When we were younger, time seemed infinite

                      But now that we’re older, time is a commodity

                                           having enough free time is an oddity,

                                      We don’t take the time to remember the faces;

                                            Or experience the different places,

                               The   journey through our lifetime is what makes us live on

                                                       The incentive, to pull on

                                                         in times of depression

                                            Human expression lives on, forever

                                                            What a sorrow

                                                      it is to Plan, tomorrow

                                                     rushing, so fast paced

                            Why not take a moment  to smell the flowers , and watch the rain

                              Before time takes its toll ,and makes them whittle away

                                                     Seize the day or, one day

                                          You’ll wonder where the time went

                                                             but its too late,

                                                              you're spent,

                                            Time came silently, like a thief in the night

                                                 And there you're on your last breath

              weak,

   relenting death   

 Time doesn't wait

   and leaves many word unspoken

                                                 and many songs, unshared

                           its your time to Face your fears ,  or you'll be afraid forever

                                             everything has to come to an end

                                                  To start a new beginning     

                              and  its your time to go, buried into an eternity

                                   But time, time goes on with ,or without you.

College was not a dream it was a necessity. 

I did my job. Cheerleading. Good grades. Good kid. 

But now it's here,

My sophomore year. 

And I can't aford a thing. 

I upheld my promise, but I didn't see the financial catastrophe 

I'm out of state with parents who can't pay. 

Will I return? I cannot say. 

Right now we're just living.

Day. To. Day 

Not a day goes by as to wondering if you are finally proud of me, Daddy.

You're still alive but you feel dead to me inside, do you feel it too Daddy?

I cry, I scream, I kick, I shout. I wonder if you hear this when you're alone.

Do you feel the pain that builds inside of me Daddy?

You once claimed I was your little princess but my tiara is crumbing Daddy.

Broken dreams and memories are all I remember you by.

Do you remember the note you wrote me, Daddy?

"I promise I'll always be there for my sugarfoot. Love, Daddy"

Where are you now?

You were the same one to make me smile now I can't wipe the frown away Daddy.

I hope you can still hear my voice calling for you Daddy.

 I pray to God that the alcohol hasn't drowned all the sound out.

I want to spin around like I use to and you would be standing there for me Daddy.

I miss the days where drinking wasn't habit and you were still here for me Daddy.

I hope you know that I have glue to put my tiara back together again.

I want you to know that no matter where you are or what type of pain this has caused for me, I will always be Daddy's little sugarfoot.

this was lifechanging woohoo

No, it has to be your own poem.

“As he spoke of understanding, I looked up and saw the rainbow leap with flames of many colors over me.”

-Black Elk

Blending

Everyone is a color.

Some are vibrant hues,

Others, dull tints.

Some colors clash,

Others match in harmony.

But no two colors are the same.

We may put on a mask

Of a color we want to be,

But our own color

Always shows through in the end.

But our colors change over time

They become brighter or darken

With the people who touch us

The places we go,

And the things that change in the world.

Our past, our present, and our future

All affect our color.

All of the specks and spots and tones and shades add up.

But the spectrum of colors

Is a beautiful picture.

When we learn to blend

With the colors around us,

We can make a beautiful rainbow.

-Hannah Nourie

Deep in the water I shiver in fear,

In a cold dark place that no one can hear.

I shiver and shiver in lots of fear.

Suffering and suffering,

but no one is near.

I sink in the bottom

of a big dark place

Thinking of myself

as a big discrace.

I used to be someone good.

 I used to be someone who had it all together.

What if what I used to be...

Was nothing really at all.

What if all that mess of everything,

Is what defines myself as me?

What if I, myself am nothing?

 How can I live in a world

where I don’t even know myself.

It’s then that we’re truly alone

If we don’t even have ourself.

What Do I stand for,

What do I believe,

What does my life mean,

And do I believe in me?

Where does my truth lie?

What I like or  in what I feel?

What If I know none of that?

Does that mean I’m nothing?

Am I something?

Am I anything real?

I look in the mirror,

I ask “is that really me?”

 I don’t recognize myself

Or even remember my name

I’ve forgotten what makes me, me.

 Overthinking.

I am myself!

Even if that means nothing

To nobody else.

I’ve lived my life,

Even if I can’t remember,

Or explain the reasons well.

People call me by name

And I answer.

So that is me.

I don’t need to know

All the answers right now.

I am something better,

Than I see in the mirror.

Not by means of vanity,

But by substance,

By emotion!

I ask “What kind of person

Can I believe in?”

I will tell myself,

“I can believe in me.

Even if no one else.”
