WithinA smile,
A laugh,
A hug.
A façade.

Within

A broken world,
A civil war,
A shattered soul,
Of its own destruction.

But further within

A full heart,
A true smile,
A happy me.
Waiting to shine.

Loving YouShining bright the stars look down
City lights in the distance
Nature's beauty up close
A cool night with a warm breeze
Brushing us as we kiss.
Your head on my shoulder
A beautiful face in the moonlight

Long our journey has been
And longer it will be
But through thick and thin
We both are there
To come back together
On this night

We've aged and we've grown
Since we first came together
We've loved and we've fought
We've struggled and we've glided
But after all this time
We find ourselves together again
Where some may grow apart
We seem to grow closer

A bumpy road
Of mixed emotions and feelings
For one another and for oth

New SpringSo calm…
So cool…
The midnight air of new spring
Refreshes my lungs
As I watch the horizon

The woods just beginning to stir
The birds still quiet
Gentle noises mix
With gentle thoughts

The damp grass between my toes
And the cool rock at my back
Only to join
Clear feelings
And emotions

My strum is carried by the wind
So does the next
And the next
Followed by my quiet voice
Echoing in tune
As I sing to greet the season

My Mind Like A ShadowMy Mind Like A Shadow

Dark in the lightest of places
Visible and not
Ignored and forgotten
But still there
Following
Watching
Waiting
Building, one darkness on another
Growing
Until it overwhelms

There's a reason we're scared of the dark

True LoveI don't know how to tell you this
But...
You aren't just another friend
You mean much more to me
Every time I see you
I just feel...
Happy!
I forget of all the terrible things in life when I'm with you
You make me just want to smile
Just smile and play
As if we were kids again

When I'm around you
I know that everything will be okay
I can always just be myself
And I know that you will never judge me

I just want to let you know....
I love you and I always will!

A Moment of ConnectionI walked alone
On a path followed by few
Gently warmed
By the high risen sun
The sounds of nature soft
Little did they touch my ears
And into my thoughts
Where I remembered her face
Her smile
Bright as the day
Gentle as the breeze

I came to a clearing
Not far from the path lay a field
Low cut grass
A river flow just beyond
It was wide and calm
And in the middle sat but two trees
All alone
Away from the rest

Unlike the forest around
The trees had color
Had beauty
Hugging with branches intertwined
Orange and red leaves kissing
The two trees together
Apart from the rest.

A Cursed ScarJust a scar
Just an accepted part of me
One that cannot be changed
A reminder of what was
And should not be again
But just a reminder?
Just a memory to so easily be left behind?
Not this one
It sometimes is where it shouldn't still be
It still burns
With the fire and pain of what left it
Revealing the others
Visible on the surface
Emanating regret and sorrow
The scar still burns
And what was may still be
Coverable
But sadly unchangeable
At least not alone.

Don't Help AnymoreI'm done
Letting you help
I'm hopeless
I'm gone
You shouldn't have to
Put up with me
You shouldn't have to
Tale the pain
I'm going to break down
Anyone part of the foundation
That helped
When I last fell apart
Will be crushed
Under the weight
And a person can only take so much
So don't help
Don't hurt yourself
Trying to stop me
From hurting me
I'm done
I'm hopeless
I'm gone

What You Do To Me

Imagine your greatest worries just a pebble on the path you walk
Easily forgotten and unnoticed
They bounce around, get pushed aside
And though one may get caught in your shoe,
They seem easier to deal with, temporarily to forever

Imagine your spirits walk high above you
They dance and sing the cheeriest of songs
And the most beautiful
They lift you up by the corners of your mouth
And keep you going

Imagine your head flowing with all your favorite music
Filling your soul with all different feelings
Even the saddest songs seem to keep you up
You walk feeling fresh with the music flowing through you
Like a cool stream that the sun

AngelOpened my locker, saw a note entitled 'To C~'
With my curiosity burning, I proceeded to read...

"Angel,

I know while you're reading this
You must be quite mad at me.
You might want to tear this up
All I ask is hear me out, please.
I know you need an explanation
I have some things to say.
I'm a mess, filled with guilt
But I'm writing to you anyway.

If only you could see me now
See the pain clouding my eyes.
Angel, now that you're not here
The summer sun no longer shines.
Every where I look I see your face
You haunt my dreams every night.
To see you smiling without me
Is such a heart-breaking sight.

I know what I did to you w

ThoughtsI'm so sick of not being perfect
I'm sick of hurting people
I'm tired of doing nothing right
I'm tired of holding back
Let me scream
Let me lash out
Let me show you the other side of me
And try telling me you still know me

Everything confined inside
It builds until I almost burst
My eyes grow heavy
My fingers claw at my arms
Tear out my hair
Twitch for the blade
I hold back
But I can only hold so much

Then I do it again
I screw up
I hurt
I break
And I fall again
Self-loathing is almost a comfort

I often wonder why
Why am I this way
Why am I messed up
Answers won't be found

I'm sick of hating myself
I'm sick of hidin

I Still Love YouI'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I can only try
But it hurts when you get angry
And you don't say why

You look at me in tears
Sometimes you almost shout
The frustration you bring upon me
The anger you bring out

I'm mad because I care
I want nothing more than to see you smile
I just want to help
And believe me
I'll be here a while

When you cry
My eyes tear at the seams
When you're sad
Rain clouds haunt my dreams

But when you laugh or smile
My lips curl up too
You still just make me so happy, I only wish I could express
How much I still love you.

One dayI watched as you cried.
I wondered, "Could this ever be mine?"
I tried and tried.
Yet, every time you denied.
I sat in the corner.
Thinking and listening to songs of rage.
I read a book and skipped to a page.
I came up with a plan,
I called it my last stand.
Yet, when i told my friends,
The called me crazy.
You said the magical words,
and as i do believe,
everything else went hazy.

I was happy.
I couldnt believe it.
Was it a trick?
I still cried at night.
My head filled with thoughts.
The clock going tick, tick
The next morning i shoved my doubt,
I smiled and ran about.
You ignored me though.
Crushing my innocent dream.

They FallYour eyes melted into the sky
as jellyfish illuminate the night,
cosmic bodies, they fall to earth
becoming alien beauties.

Help MeI'm lost in this hollow place
This frame I live in can only hold me up for so long
I'm breaking inside and I'm falling apart
Is no one here to hear my silent cries?
I want to escape from this place
And the only way out isn't a choice
The doors are locked the key is lost
I can't see
The darkness is overwhelming
My only sanctuary is when I have lost myself
Far away on a dirt path leading to nowhere
Where the trees change colors and talk to me
I'm lost
So lost
And there is nothing I can do
This road is going downhill
And I can't seem to run fast enough
I'm falling to fast
And there is no one to catch me
Help me
Help me
I'm

I Still Love You (revised)I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I can only try
But it hurts when you get angry
And you don't explain why

You look at me in tears
N' sometimes you almost shout
The frustration you bring upon me
N' the anger you bring out

I'm mad because I care
I want nothing more than to see you smile
I just want to help
And believe me
I'll be here a while

When you cry
My eyes tear at the seams
When you're sad
Rain clouds haunt my dreams

But when you laugh or smile
My lips curl up too
You still make me so happy
I only wish I could express
How much I love you.

We all make mistakes
We all do things we don't mean
And I forgave you bef

Nightmares and fears. Part 3I wake up
In a battle with my own mind
Trying to cling to the good
The happy
Trying to assure myself
There is something good in me
But of course it's buried
Too deep.

Left with the pain of my nightmare
I wipe the tears from my eyes
But I can't wipe away the fear
Of myself.
Some say I'm strong.
I'll take whatever comes my way,
And stand to support those I care about.
I'll take anything thrown at me,
But I'm not strong;
Don't mistake me for strong,
Cause I can't even stand against myself.

The only salvation I have
Is the reminder of the one
Who made me who I am
And first saved me from all this pain.

Nightmares and fears. Part 2I opened my eyes
To see a former self
Screaming in the space we stood
"go to hell!" "I hate you!"
But there was no one else there.
A reminder
Of what I used to be
A painful reminder
Of darker days.

He fades away and I take a step back
Only to find myself in a pool of blood
My own
I look at my reflection
And watch it rise
Until another me stands there
And screams
Silently
He drives me back
Pure hatred in his eyes
Until I stumble to the ground
And he was gone
But he left his mark.
Scars on my wrists and tears on my face.

Nightmares and fears. Part 1They say you can't feel dreams,
They say nightmares aren't real,
But they're wrong.

Dreams are windows to the subconscious,
Nightmares are reminders of our fears.

When the mind tries to tell us something
In a dream, or a nightmare
We feel it.
Oh, we feel it.

Have you ever woken in tears?
Have you ever been afraid of the truth?
Have you ever been afraid of yourself?

Sometimes nightmares don't just remind us
They make us relive our fears,
And in doing so it strikes us
Emotionally
No matter what the fear
And that emotional pain
Yeah we feel that.

True Immortality

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Dear World,
Hot and cold
Light and dark
Good and bad
Violent and peaceful
Strong and weak
Push and pull
World.
Many walk among you
Many lay deceased
Each and every different from another
All under you, my mother
With the complications of you
World
Where do I stand?
If I were to give you my body
But send my soul away
Would I be forgotten
Or would I be remembered?
Is my mark which stains your soil
Worth merely the memory of friends and family
Or worth the eyes and ears of hundreds
Thousands
Millions
Is my mark to be mortally bound to your beings
Or will it stand immortal among the minds of us all
Oh World
Will I achieve mere forgotteness over time?
Or will my mark achieve immortality?

The words of a lonely soul waiting to be known.

I'm not sure how good this is, I came up with it about 5 minutes ago in the shower... it actually came in a few different idea ways things... this and stuff similar but more talking directly to specific people and stuff.

~Earthbound-Dreaming Jun 4, 2012

This is so powerful. I absolutely loved it....

*AutumnNight714 Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Thank you so much

And Thank you for favoriting

~Earthbound-Dreaming Jun 4, 2012

Not a problem. Thank you for sharing it with us

*AutumnNight714 Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

anytime haha
well anytime I come up with one out of the blue xP

~Earthbound-Dreaming Jun 4, 2012

You said you'd written it in 5 minutes, that's what really blew me away too. Not only was it really good, but you didn't have to think about it, it just sort of bubbled up. I feel motivated to go looking through the rest of your work now. I don't want to seem "stalky" though ha ha

*AutumnNight714 Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

haha go for it, that's what it's there for right?
That's how most of my poetry is written aside from "I still Love you" which took about 15 xP that one I thought about a little, but just to make it rhyme..

~Earthbound-Dreaming Jun 7, 2012

I like it when poems sort of right themselves and you don't think too much on it. It's kind of the raw version of your thoughts and I like that.

*AutumnNight714 Jun 7, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

me too

~xXScreamingOctoberXx Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Wow..... this is such a well-written, deep poem. I often have the same thoughts of how my memory will be immortal, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about that (: You're such an amazing writer, you're lucky ^-^ Great job!

*AutumnNight714 Jun 4, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Thanks!

Yeah, y'know, the anti-social shy as hell child just trying to get somewhere in the world... glad you liked it, and I'm glad too that I'm not the only one.
Honestly I came up with this in like five minutes off a single line uh.. which one? oh " will my memory be immortal among the eyes and ears of this world's beings?" ... that's kinda how most of my poetry forms, from the heart and soul just building off a line or a feeling, and usually comes quick enough. I'm not that great of a writer, but I hope to get better.
