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?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. This is one thing I love so much about poetry...look at the connections we can make as human beings through it... ;D When I made this thread, this was what I was hoping for. ;D ok, here's another one I found: A Dream it Takes The path was made by those who care not of the way in which the other travels it. Not once a thought; not even but a whit, for in these minds a void instead of love has found a way to change itself to greed, despite words that may have or have not been spoken by those who claim to be our kin but only come to us in times of need. They will consume all we have; all we are, then send us on our way and in our shame, and dare to point the finger as to blame, When all we offer are wide-open arms. If only bells could ring a sound to change this world into a world of holding hands, where each and every soul, side by side, stands. A dream it takes for this to be arranged.

I've gotten three poems published (through various internet contests) I'll have to go get the books their in and type them, but I am lazy right now. *Modified* Here is the one that I got published through poetry.com: Just DreamDo you dare to dream, Past the realm of realty? To let your mind wander, Your spirit soar, Across the vast expanse, Of space and time. To reach beyond, All possible limits, Into the world of imagination, So lies the dreamer's fate. The dreamer's course lay uncharted. For freedom allows the dreamer, To do what the dreamer does best, Just dream. Hey Jubilee how do you publish your poems on Poetry.com?? thx. Nice poem by the way. Everyone here inspired me to write a poem like 20 minutes ago....it came out better than I expected and it symbolizes a person I truely loved. So thank you all, specially Oldfriend

Just Us
I see you Shrouded in fog Your eyes Piercing the mist Wading Through the murky waters I wait Under the willow tree
Our hearts beat as one Remembering the lies that we told I can see it in the air I can see that the room is still closed Our hearts beat as one Remembering the lies that we told I can see it in the air A whisper of love into deafened ears
Like a phoenix Your heart is reborn The answers soar above us Just out of reach The church bells ring And carry away our troubles It's just us here It's just us here tonight

Here's my newest one. (I promised I'd write one, didn't I? ) I don't want to be tied down Forced to choose between your views Of right and wrong Good and bad I don't want to have to choose Stuck in an alleigance If I choose Then it's all over You've made up your mind You think you know me No matter if I change No matter what side of me I choose to show today You won't care Because you've made up your mind A puppet, forevermore On strings Pulled by the hand No thank you I'll just sit back And watch you crumble All sense of identity lost But I'll never choose

It was acutally inspired by X-men. ;D I was sitting in class (not paying attention), when I was thinking about some of the characters' struggles in choosing a side. (ex. wolvie, pyro, etc.) Storm X, just go to www.poetry.com, and choose one of the contests to enter.

WOW! I've been gone for only a few days and more people have joined...cool beans. ;D
New one (well, maybe not so new but here it is). It's a short one.
Sonnet:
If mortal beauty stops a passionate flame Completely, it did not come down altogether From Heaven with the soul; It's human will.
But if, Love, it moves on, it jeers your name, Seeking another God, fearful no longer You'll come to grapple with a prey so vile
Until nothing is left, but dust and earth Mixed in with the soil of Gaea's skin In her Womb, rebirth but a flicker.
And from darkness you go. To something new, Life in full circle Until next Spring, a new sprout spring forth.

I think all of them are great personally I agree. So who's everyone's favorite poets? Some that come to mind for me are Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Whitman. How about you guys? ;D
