OKay it's kind of a song I wrote a week or so ago, but yeah... lol -Make Believe What does your heart Tell you to do? Do the things that you see Things that you see decieve you? Do the thoughts that you think Thoughts that you think believe you? What does your heart Tell you to do? Do not trust the things you see Let what you believe guide you Soar along the wings of the forgotten And change the world around you Let it go Let it all go Sanctify the burial mound And make believe that they Make believe that they never left you And carry their spirits away Set them free Set them all free Do not trust the things you see Let what you believe guide you Soar along the wings of the forgotten And change the world around you What the eyes see Is only make believe What the ears hear Is only what is near What the eyes see Is only make believe What the eyes see Eyes see Do not trust the things you see Let what you believe guide you Soar along the wings of the forgotten And change the world around you To me, song lyrics = poetry, so this is definitely a form of poetry! I like what I'm reading here, and if you have any more, please don't heistate to share!! I'm so happy we have this love for creativity in common between all of us. ;D

War of Ages
Upon these ashes Of a city so strong Lives were lost Families were torn But upon the alter The people stand strong Refusing to give in Refusing to lose their faith "You can not truly take us" they cried into the hearts of their foes Eye to eye they stand With themselves once again A fight with ones self A fight that never ends And so it begins From the first cry to the last breath The war of ages A war of seeking answers A war to put to rest All of those who did their best To create the answers To the questions that were not yet asked Telling lies by the thousands To glorify a short existance But the people stand strong

lol Thanks oldfriend. Yeah.
Timeless Regret
It's all around you Move it away from here Take it in one more time And maybe finally
You'll see Everything you've done And all the pain you've caused No not this time Not this time You'll see Everything you've done And everything that's broken Not this time He'll save himself this time
You walk this path In the opposite direction Breaking the bond That tied you so close together
Roll your eyes, wave your hand This is a goodbye From the child that you killed Who's last breath passed in the tub you filled
It's all around you Move it away from here Take it in one more time And maybe finally
You'll see Everything you've done And all the pain you've caused No not this time Not this time You'll see Everything you've done And everything that's broken Not this time He'll save himself this time
So take it in See it all around you Take it in one more time Yeah, maybe you'll see it now
It's all around you Move it away from here Take it in one more time And maybe finally you'll see
The face of your single broken child The voice of a lonely hollow soul The silence of a once-strong heartbeat Twisted eyes see no light
You'll see Everything you've done And all the pain you've caused No not this time Not this time You'll see Everything you've done And everything that's broken Not this time He'll save himself this time

Thank you. You're Welcome. ok I'll share another one now: Remember That SongRemember that song of strength and hope, a determination, a melody of perfection, and where the lyre no longer appears, stands a new instrument—what is its name? Does it play a song of sorrow and doubt, or a song of an everlasting strength and hope, or is it silent, like the mouths of those who could’ve changed a moment in time by the simple sound of their own instruments?

Alas this is one of my darker poems....I made this about 5 months ago when I was really down on stuff.
As the world turns dark I fall to my knees A reject of society I beg and plead I just want to be accepted and be at ease I know I'm different and for that I'm teased A reject of society, a monster to myself The sadness within me is so strongly felt I know I'm not pretty and I know I'm not great Will this misery within me be my fate Will I forever be lonley, will I forever be lost The emotions in me are pushed and tossed Never have I felt so alone and cold The lonliness within is taking its toll........
I write because people seem to automatically judge me without even giving me a chance to show myself to them. I'm like a mutant....I'm misunderstood and judged, you know what I mean?

It's important to have an outlet for your emotions. Some paint, some make music, some write poetry....I'm glad you found an outlet. ;D

I'm like a mutant....I'm misunderstood and judged, you know what I mean?I know exactly how you feel. People often judge me and don't give me a chance. They tease me cause I'm fat, saying "guys shouldn't have long hair or wear eyeliner" etc. etc. It's crap. And people wonder why I wear all black. Just know that you're not alone. And your poem is very beautiful. It is clear that it was written from the heart, and that's what I love about it.
