Well.. I'm glad to see a section for poetry.. anyways, without getting to into it, I will put my two favorites at your disposal. Statue The statue cried somber blood It burned the crows resting at its feet And they flew away, with a trail of smoke The injured boy ran And leaped off the cliff To fall into a devoid dream The roads are paved in ice The parade walks over the frozen corpse Each step boring holes Suicidal winds crawl through the city The city is sinking into the festering worms below And the rain falls The statue remains in the ghost city Surrounded by ruins and flaming homes Waiting to be torn down by a hoard of crows ------------------------------------------------------- Crying Hearts Make Eyes Blind Tears soak a bloody rag On a tender homes basement The weeper blinded to the caring hearts Fingers, reaching to the light Scarred by sleeping thoughts Plunging into the bottom of a well Full of suicidal notes How to live in a burning house With burning children vommiting dust The caring hearts bonded with barbed wire The weeper declines the free wine The weeper neglects love The weepers tears boil their eyes ------------------------------------------------------- Hope I've been enlightening..

Decided to add this one, for your reading pleasure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buried in Desolate Rain A joyous city full of love Holds a basement full of pain Small beams of mocking light crack into the room Inside, alone and cold Strapped in a poisoned cage, in a poisoned straight jacket, dying of hunger. Bountiful fruits outside the cage Protected by electric bars Lonely tears fall Suffering and eating off ashes Struggling to dream Happy bridges collapsing Stranded in a dying forest Living off rotten fruit Full of worms Sickly and diseased Comfortable in a tender grave Left with a hateful mirror Lonely tears fall -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope I've been enlightening

Why do I always seem to hear sad and depressing poems on forums? Its come to a point where I question their actual value. I'm not saying that these poems have no meaning, because I'm sure that they mean something to you, but they've become so cliche. Sorry if this offends anyone.

Well, think of it this way: Would you rather read a happy poem about some asshole in love or something? I wouldn't. Screw love, man. There's little emotion in most happy poetry (other than happiness, which I can't let myself believe really exists). Poetry is a very personal thing. It's raw, uncensored, unconditional emotion. It comes from a split second in your soul and makes its way to the paper. It may not be something that you believe in, or even something that you feel for more than a second, but it's a valid emotion and poetry is a great outlet. You won't see my poetry up here (or anywhere else) for that reason... it's very raw and would scare, offend, and probably hurt you all. It's already gotten me into enough trouble with the people I love. So no more sharing for me. My poetry stays in the depths of my hard drive, thus you don't ever have to read my dark, cliched words. I admire those who can share their words with the world, no matter how dark or depressing. It takes a lot of balls to show the world such a privately creative side of your mind, whether the poem is personal to you or not. Life sucks. Love sucks even more. Happiness sucks as much as love because those two bastards usually go hand in hand. Hope is the biggest sucker of them all. Welcome to human existance. Sorry if it's become cliche, but that's life, and it's gotten to the point where I question the value of life everyday. And no, I'm not offended. It takes way more than that to offend me.
