hi i love to write poems
I day dream,
when the day's boredome gets me.
No distractions in my day dream.
I day dream during the day.
I sit there not thinking what's important.
Sounds and images can bang on my brain, but I won't answer
until my imagination has ended,
and also my day dream.
Beware Poetry.com IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I totally agree with Ronne. It's a scam. :(
when I saw you, I was afraid to look at you,
when I looked at you, I was afraid to talk to you,
When I talked to you, I was afraid to like you,
When I liked you, I was afraid to kiss you,
When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you,
And now that I love you am afraid to lose you.
Jackie gonzales that is already a poem on the internet! your a fake, poetry is not to make money so don't steal and fake as your own , it comes form the heart, where feelings are shown
I wrote this awhile ago, sorry I know its long :)
a lonely girl sits in a foster home
alone since the age of five
ignored, defeated and all alone
a fragile soul so lucky to be alive
going from foster home to foster home
beaten, hated, and rejected every day
slowly she is dying inside
but her tortured soul lives on another day
an incredible burden this small child holds
this secret she so obsessively hides
she'll tell not a single damn soul
to herself she will solely confide
her father died when she was three
and her mother couldnt take the hurt
so she turned to drugs and drink to numb the pain
and abandoned her; killing her self-worth.
so she sits inside this "home"
this week's tormentor in the other room
he comes raging down the hall
she gets another crippling blow from the broom
"Get up, you little whore!"
he screams and swings again
Echoes of her screaming, "Please, no more!"
slowly the torture comes to an end
shes only nine years old
her body cant take that much
all fucked up inside
cuz she's been pushed around too much
shes left sprawled on the floor
with nothing she can do
her body's too weak to fight
and she knows he knows it too
thats when he does it
shows no mercy during the act
beats her when she tries to resist
no spot on her body left intact
after it all ends
she cant take this shit anymore
she runs toward the kitchen
and pauses as she reaches the door
she wonders if it's worth it
should she end it all right now?
the answer this time was yes
there was just the matter of how
just as she sees the knife
theres a knock at the friont door
Off to another foster home
a poor child in a never-ending war
they arrive at the next home
a family of seven or more
she feels all warm inside
with hopes of an ending to this war
a mom, a dad, four kids and a dog
stare at her with interest
a picture-perfect family through regular eyes
out of all the kids, shes the oldest
things are okay the first week
but thats how things always are
then the beast comes out of its cage
and its just like it was before
Its all routine, now
she's used to the abuse
with every kick or punch
her head falls tighter into a noose
first the screaming starts
then the violence erupts
he finishes with the wife
and moves onto the little ones
he hits them till hes satisfied
and feels better than when he began
he moves onto the next victim
screaming, "take it like a man!"
after he's done with them
hes not quite had enough
he finishes off with the oldest
and with her he's especially rough
this house is just the same
it's no different than the others
a bunch of scared, lonely kids
and an absent or addicted mother
this is the last straw!
she's really gonna do it this time
she sees no point in living
theres just no reason to the rhyme
so she runs into the kitchen
knocks down a younger one in the way
she won't be suffering much longer:
she's gonna end her life today
thats when she sees it
the shiny carving knife from dinner
she dwells one more time on that familiar fear
and buries it somewhere within her
she steps into the room
and picks up the carving knife
she sprints toward the bathroom
intent to end her life
She slides the blade across her wrist
and feels the pain release
blood falls onto the polished white floor
her broken soul seeps out peice by peice
blackness surrounds her pale blue eyes
and she can no longer see
her very existance in this hell she lives
will soon cease to just a memory
happy she made the right decision
she leaves the world in peace
she begins to feel so weak
and falls to her swollen bruised knees
she smiles as her body fails
and it starts to get so cold
shes running toward that beautiful light
death begins to take hold
heyy do u like this i made it my self:
look out your window
you'll see me coming
with laughter from the past
we'll be together at last
and heres another:
why listen
no one
no thing
no sound or were
no reason
I am the giver of life the destroyer
I am the one who they call the Death Dealer
I am Mother Earth's only voice
I am the blood sucker who takes the lifes of the innocent
I am the Wolf Man who hunts the innocent people of Beathmora
I am the leader who you follow
I AM THE DEATH DEALER
I AM THE LIFE GIVER
I AM PRINCE NAUDA SILVER LANC
SON OF NO ONE
LEADER OF THE GLODEN ARMY
I'm pretty sure poetry.com is a scam, almost 100% positive!
UNFORGIVEN....
You know your unforgiven when I hate the things you say
You know your unforgiven when all that's left is to pray
You know your unforgiven when I hate your guts and slime
and you know your unforgiven when I just wish you'd just die..
You would think that unforgiven is just a word
But in reality it is a baron field filled with snow
There is no emptyness in the word unforgiven there is
fullfillment
A chance to start over and relive no strings attached
When some one is unforgiven it is your chance to take your pride and run because your work is officially now done
There's nothig more to say nothing left to do just a tip of the hat and a little SCREW YOu .
But with the word unforgiven also comes closure not that
you were mean but just a push over.
It gives you time to think and time to live
Time to change yourself for the better
Because Now that they're unforgiven your stesses are lifted
Because the word unfogiven is no longer bad it is now the word that you WISH YOU KNEW YOU HAD
Who the hell created this website?!
Their grammar and writing style is rubbish!
You DO NOT write an "I" like this: "i", in the middle of a sentence!
There are many other grammatical errors as well as spelling errors...
More the reason to accuse this website as a SCAM!...
My Poem- Life Is Not A Waiting Room
Lay around and dream of a day that has never come, dream this day a million times, and you will see, that life is not a waiting room, conquer your fears and push forward, through the waves and chains that hold you down, as the sun sets on your journey through the jungle of life, know that you are not alone and many herds of people are in your shoes, bound together your fearsome arms and break through what you are not, life is not a waiting room and so to is your life, don't wait for the dream to come, but wait for the sun to shine over your bloody, blistered eyes
Every time I sneak a peak
he turns around and gives a wink
I blush a bit and to my surprise he comes up and looks into my eyes.
We gaze all day, but he has to go
so he kisses me and its like a show where a girl and boy pretend to love. But in this show its not a lie
every day, and every night I think of him cuase hes my guy.
LITTLE CREAM COLORED KITTY ? Little cream colored kitty you are worth more than gold to me;? A true friend on whom I gladly bestow affection.? Little cream colored kitty you give back in humble adoration, the childlike praise that I freely give to you. Your big beautiful green eyes with eyebrows so long, yet underneath those sleepy eyes, you clearly see, as you patiently wait my touch. Little cream colored kitty you are somthing speacial to love.
Life is a road
I am walking, but I don't know which way to go. I found you, but then we got lost together. I left you then i found myself once more. Now I know where I am going.
What is Life?
Life is a challenge....meet it.
Life is a gift....accept it.
Life is an adventure....dare it.
Life is a sorrow....overcome it.
Life is a tragedy....face it.
Life is a duty....preform it.
Life ia game....play it.
Life is mystery....unfold it.
Life is a song sing it.
Life ia an opportunity....take it.
Life is a journey....complete it.
Life is a promise....fulfill it.
Life is a beauty....praise it.
Life is a struggle....fight it.
Life is a goal....achieve it.
Life is a puzzle....solve it.
Life is love........
love it.
The Brothers of a Football Team
“Click. Clack. Click. Clack." The only sound you heard as the brothers walk together. Each young man is well respected by every member of the team. They go through hell together, so they come to love each other. Without the men surrounding them and protecting them, they are nothing. They all respect one another because... every member walking has felt each others' pain and has helped one another become the man they are now. The Wakefield Bomber football team looks more like a team than any other sport, each member with a hidden identity. Men, I Love you in a way only great football teams and great soldiers can feel. Once this season ends, I will have an empty space in my heart I fear I will never be able to replace.
-WORDS OF WISDOM BY DAVID NANCE
P.S. I wrote this for my boys and posted it up in our locker room. Every time I read it, it means more and more to me... I hope it brings back memories to all adults that had played football in high school.
:) money would be nice too.

the trials they go on.
the tempest still does it toss
with that there is nothing wrong
there would be no fighting the mighty throng
for without them there would be no loss.
No loss to make a stronger man.
No loss to pray to god so grand
and no loss to make your life fun and not so bland.
her letter-
dear baby boy,
i miss you everyday.
i felt the need to write you
& say what i have to say.
you said you love me, i believe you,
you said you trust me, i wont decieve you.
i feel you care the most for me,
i feel the same for you,
head over heels, falling in love,
searching for what to do..
i'll stop writing now
but before i go i have something to say,
darling you are my everything
& i dont want this feeling to go away.
please write me back,
& tell me how you are,
& keep loving me everyday,
hey baby i cant wait to see you,
goodbye until next may..
his letter-
baby girl i miss you
i want to see you so bad
i forgot to kiss you goodbye
& now i wish i had.
i cant wait to come homw
& find your beautiful face
before i start back home,
i'll continue writing everyday.
i really do love you
with all of my heart,
you are everything i breathe for in life,
& i dont want us to part.
dear i have to go
im leaving out to fight
dont forget about me baby
i think about you every night.
i will always love you,
you are my world,
i have to leave now,
write me back baby girl.
a month later-
she recieved a letter in the mail
from the site that he was at
she trembles as she opens it
she reads it & she drops.
she sobs & cries,
for now her love was gone
she reads his letters a thousand times
in hope that he'll still come home.
but hes gone & shes lost,
she will never love again,
she will always love her baby boy,
always until the end.
And then I wonder,
The result of something,
that use to be so pure and meek,
So sudden at a particular speed,
My love, My heart so true indeed,
The vowels we made,
And the time I gave,
The misery I partake,
and the happiness that was faked,
Through it all my heart aced and aced,
time after time,
After every moment that went by,
My heart was catered to you and only you,
Our love was like a bursting rose ready to blossom,
I had no passion………
and no patience ……
for as to my knowledge,
No riddance,
As I think back so long ago,
At the time I cried,
at the time I froze,
It felt like forever,
But it was to long,
How unconsidered you was for my feelings,
And the love that I’d cherished for you,
But I’ve moved on,
So over powered with joy,
But that pain still lies within,
So DEEPLY within
and a new fresh beginning,
Is where my life will hopefully end.!
Valentine
I gave a thousand valentines.A thousand did I say?
I gave a thousand valentines one cold a wintry day.
I didn't sign my name on them because I'm not a nerd.
Because all my valentines are for winter birds.

Ocean of my Life
Many say that they are connected to the Ocean,
weather it be through heritage or a burning desire to concur the un-tamable,
I am connected in my own way,
I look out to the ocean in the early morning,
gray,
forbidding,
covered in a thick haze known as fog,
Not much different then How I feel,
In the afternoon,
when the fog usually lifts,
the see is inviting,
radiating with a energetic glow,
Not much different then How I feel,
at night,
calm and peaceful,
of course,
There is always,
the treat that something will cause a are dear earth to shake,
therefore creating a tsunami,
Crushing everything in its path.
The words that broke me into pieces…
I love you.. but I can’t be with you.
I never experienced a love like this. It all started off with that one kiss. I met you at seneca king, and I honestly thought we were going to be just a fling. But when it came down to it, we were feeling each other more bit by bit. I had relationships in the past, but it didn;t even last. I felt like they didn’t care about me, because they always let me be.
As the months went by, I never knew you were gonna be mine. December 22 is our date, and I felt like you were my soulmate. 7 months flew by so fast, It felt like we were going to last. At the end, I was the girl who left you behind. Neglected you and made you feel so inlove & blinde. I wish I can go back and change how i really was.
I just felt like you were controlling me. But i know you just cared about me so much to let me be. I love you, i really do.
I hope one day, you’ll forgive me too.
it is called magic
the days keep on passing
though the moments go slow,
snow keeps on falling
and tears constant flow,
each day seems to bring a new journey of life,
though these lessons seem bitter
a new cut from the same knife.
these eyes are so tired
each obstacle too tall
my smiles not fading..
cause it never came at all
each day without you
burns more and more
each night alone
hurts worse than before,
i love you so much
it hurts me to move
but this is my shot
i've got some things to prove
i'll show you im strong
that i can make it through
i'll show you i'm worth it
that i'm ready to love you.
i'll be better than ever
if you give me a shot
together forever
i'll give you all that i got.
give me your hand
and i'll show you true love
i'll take you with me
i'll be what you've dreamed of.
i love you today
and i'll love you forever
come with me now
and we'll make it together.
The rage in my life
Is the depth of my heart
The aches
The pain
The rain
That wants to be free
Screaming out free me
Walkin around angry sometimes not knowing why
Praying to God, so he can take it all away
Making away, so the aches, pain and rain can be free
The aches are the things in my life that needs a change
The pain is my wrongfulness killen me inside
The rain is the tear drop I try to hold in
The rage in my life
Is the depth in my heart
Trying to have a breakthrough
In all this hell
"Time stops for no one" got to make every second count for every minute that passes is just another hour down,another day gone, another week gone bye then go the years life passes bye,where has it gone? Tell me! were has it went? it can't be over life's moving to quick.I can't slow it down so I look to the sky, you ask "what am I doing" I am wahtching time fly."time stops for no one" you just can't escape it, who ever said "it's a race against time (to me!) was just time that they wasted.You can't beat something that never goes out of existence,there's a time for everything even the bible mention's. See, God made time before man even exsisted so, to predict the end of time can't be comprehended,for each person who lives there time is all different,so use your time wisely for we all have a limit,time well spent is time well given time stops for no one even after yours has ended.
hi, I'm 15 and here's a poem I felt like sharing.
The Truth
The truth burns under my masquerade
I cry out for help
Silence rings in my ears,
Louder than a thousand voices
I need to know
I need to understand
But no one answers and I am left
Once again confused
Wanting what I can’t have
Hating what is offered to me
No one knows my anguish
No one understands my pain
I hide behind
False modesty
The truth is
Deadly
hope you found it a decent read!
The Girl
Do you see the girl in the corner
Do you see confusion in her eyes
Do you see her speak,
Mouth words of easement to herself
Do you see her pain
Do you see the girl in the hall
Do you see her stumble slightly
Do you see her bite her lip
To keep from crying for no reason
Do you see her sorrow
Do you see the girl in her room
Do you see her writing sad stories
Do you see her wishing
She was the beautiful characters she describes
Do you see her cry
Do you see the girl on the bridge
Do you see her looking at the water
Do you see her shout
Poisonous words at the so-called God
Do you see her jump
Do you see her at all?
Burn up all the remnants of
Our life together; burn our love.
Burn it now, burn it bright,
And let it burn through the night.
Don't stop the fire; let it kill.
Feel the passion, feel the thrill.
You broke me down; I burned us up.
I do not need you. This end's enough.
hi my cousin is 9 and he won 2,000 for a poem he supposedly wrote and when i asked wat it was about he didnt know so i want to win monbey for a poem i have write any one know competitions so i can win money im 13 btw
people is gonna steal your poems if you keep putting them on here its not a bad thing just don't put something your not willing to lose on here.
Wake up in the evening, and go to sleep early morning.
I lay awake in my bed and think about the world,
I think "what if" I don't wake up "what if" the world
ends. But what I should think about is how precious life is,
and how we should embrace the people around us and love everyone,
The world has to much hate we need to erase it, and all become brothers and
sisters as it was ment to be. All the bad things that happen in life are
just another hurdle we have to overcome, and when we do we get stronger.
So live your life be free, give and you will get back, love more, smile more,
and peace will shadow over us all like the sun shinging above.
This is all messed up! It looks like a friggin 2 year old wrote this! This is such an obvious scam!! So, DANGER DANGER SCAM ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I been writing poery since tha fourth grade and i loved it ever since.

Hidden in darkness,scourd by fear,when will this curse soon lead to tears.They try to fight me one by one,they''ll never win i am the chosen one.I have the power the strenth the sight,they try and try to defeat me they never win so they just end up going home and they start to cry,well thats only if they servive...PS in 12
I confirm that poetry.com is a scam. I almost fell a victim to them in 2007 when I was declared the 'Editor's Choice'and told to buy a bound copy of an anthology containing my own poem. Worse still,not a dime was paid for my effort.
He only knows what I went through.Pain is infesting my body and eating off hatrid,love fears it's opponent but fights it's enemy.The sound of revenge pierces the ear and controls the mind but doesn't instruct the soul.The heart sinks for the antagonist one the drops you off for the enemy.I bleed the rage coming from my decaying brain.Holes in my skin represent how many time the unreal being hurt the slow pumping thing they call a heart.I believe I should be dead from loss of skin. I shall kill the blood of the one who makes one last ensition on the body of his children.Spoken from the heart of a pained child.
No matter how hard you try, no one can deny,
There are mean people,
No matter how hard you try no one can deny
They will sting you with their words
Try to drown you in helplessness
And will attempt
to destroy you
And no matter how you try no one can deny
That you don’t feel
That there is no way to escape
That you are trapped
Doomed forever
And no matter how you feel so
There is a way out
Just let your heart
shine
and glow
It will truly show
Who you are,
If you follow your heart
Poem(Rock Bottom)
How stupid I am If you give me a chance how foolishly I let you slip from hands so badly I want to be your man but slowly waiting here for you as your friend but it hurts me so bad that I can't be your friend give me reason just give me another chance to show you and prove to you I'm a better man in my eyes I feel that your listening but my words aren't kicking in I love so why don't you give in
And I never imagined you would make me feel so sad.
I thought that we would last forever,
That you and I would always be together.
But I guess you thought just a little differently,
Maybe thats why you broke up with me,
But for now I will try to smile and pretend nothing is wrong with me.
I know one day this pain and hurt will be gone.
No more hugs not even a goodnight kiss,
holding me close in your arms is something i will truly miss.
The way you always knew what to say to me,
how we used to talk almost everyday,
But now that it's over I have to be strong and hope one day I will be able to move on.
I walked one evening knowing the moon would show more light than the street lamps. A breeze hit me in the face as I closed my eyes thinking it would pick something to enter them. I walked at a pase where my feet hit the ground with no more than the sound of crispy leaves to show a mark of being steped on. Suddenly looking to my left I saw a shadow. I knew what the shadow was and what it wanted but began a to fast walk. As I moved more street lights began to turn on and the shadow was dispeapering I was leaping for joy inside when the I was so close to hitting a lamp. The shadow had stopped, so did I my feet wanted the shadow but my heart knew it was a trick. A trick to hide me and make me invisable not be able to see the light. "Darkness!' I shouted. " I'm not running from you anymore, but I will walk away."
Heyy i made this myself: once a girl named Cristie and her friends were playing truth or dare and it was her turn and her friend said truth or dare and she picked dare and her friend dared her to jump in the lake when she jumped in she said it was really fun until...she stepped on a broken glass bottle she had to get surgery her friend who told her that she should jump in the lake felt really bad and thinked it was just a stupid game and she really felted bad until cristie got out of the Doctors Office.

Hi, John
I'm like amateur poets, thanks
