I REALLY WANTED TO SAY.I really wanted to say.....

I really wanted to say it's ok.

I really wanted to tell you that everything will be fine.

I really wanted to tell you how strong you are.

That it really is ok that things with him didn't work out for you.

Because it didn't seem to be a healthy relationship anyways.

That it may be for the best.

That you are too good for bullshit.

That who knows maybe somoene else loves you?

I really wanted to give you a hug.

My arms though don't reach states away.

I knew it wasn't the right time........

that you were dealing with so much as am I.

That we had tried before and it didn't work...

SearchingRunning across the cool dark sand
Fleeing to a distant land
Seeking answers I thought I knew
In that world lies the truth
A fury of feet
A giant leap
Nothing will stop me from what I seek
Are you going to try and stop me?Searching10 minutes ago in Free Verse

The PresentWe live in the moment,
Every single one of us.
No matter what we think,
it's not the past,
nor is it the future.

All of it is from our mind,
an illusion we live in,
centuries before
or eons ahead
we crave to be.

This is now,
the present.
Yesterday's tomorrow has come
to be today's today.
We all live it.
Whether we want to or not.The Present17 minutes ago in Free Verse

Beware, BewareBeware, beware
Of the geeky gals,
Beware, beware
Of your pensive pals

Beware, beware
Of the lonely freaks,
They spill unearned love,
Like gas from the leaks

So my dear idol,
What do you do?
You see them down there,
In front of you

There's a plethora of faces,
Out in the crowd,
And so many girls,
Are extremely wowed

They'll crowd you door frame,
With a fancy air,
And try to impress you,
Thinking you care,

But in reality,
You don't know who they are,
Where they came from,
And why they came this far.

They may like your music,
Or your books,
Your artistic creations
Or just your looks

Some of those girls are pretty,
Yet, some are not,

WallsThese walls...
They're grey, these walls. Ice cold to the touch and inpenetrable by any force on Earth. They block all happiness, and all PATHS to happiness. Options suddenly open and close, faster than one can blink their eye. They contain me, force me to stay in the wallowing black ocean of ooze that pulls me further under every day.
"Break out" they say
"Try harder" they say
I throw my body against these walls and just come crashing down with a tattered body.
These walls, they are unbreakable! Telling me to break them is silly. My only solution?
I must climb over them.
And yet.... when I look up, I see nothing but black sky and a seemingly endless mass of grey.
How can I traverse this!
By effort I suppose, so I begin to climb. I often lose grip and tumble downwards, further injuring myself.
Why go on living like this?
Love, happiness, joy.... they are all on the other side of these walls.
These walls... in my head. I can't talk when IWalls41 minutes ago in Free Verse

SocietyStar light
Star bright,
Can you stars even hear me tonight?
Are my wishes ever heard?
Because according to society,
These fairy-tales are absurd.
I'm told not to dream,
To just fall into place,
Like a piece to a puzzle,
Like a school boy in a ball game...Society46 minutes ago in Free Verse

I Wonder Why?Why is there a sky?
Why is there a ground?
Why is there a God?
Why is there a Devil?
Why is there a Heaven?
Why is there an Underworld?
Why do people die?
Why do we need water to survive?
Why do we eat animals to survive?
Why do we eat all of the beautiful plants to survive?
Why do people want to survive?
Why do people feel so strongly about life when thay have never truly experienced it?
Why do people think flowers are pretty?
Why do people think wet dog smells bad?
Why do people have teeth to chew?
Why do we need to go to school?
Why can't all people get along?
Why do only certain people have the right to judge other's?

Movie TheaterWeekend night
we get our tickets
our shoes lightly sticking to the floors.
We sit and wait in a large crowded room
a full house.

The sound of chatter and he smell of popcorn fill the air.
The lights go out
the people stop.
The curtain opens
and lights dance on the screen.
The show has begun.Movie Theater1 hour ago in Free Verse

Call of the Wildi was called away again,
led to the first stretch
of a rugged path that i once
loved to walk-i can hear the murmurs
of the breeze, the hushed welcome
of the gossiping leaves held upright
by the gnarled limbs of trees,
the giggles of the streams
tickled by stones. i need
the chafe of worn-out leather
under my soles, the smell of smoke
clinging to my hair, the feel
of stubble on my legs and
sweat under my armpits. i need
the farmer's tan that comes with
high-necked tee shirts and inefficient
sunscreen, the split hairs frizzing up
my ponytail, the burn of cheap
coffee drank too quickly-
i am going home,
to ragged wood and chipped paint,
to the rising sun,
to campfires,
to everything unglamourous and strange
that makes this life worth going through-
i am going home
into the wild,
and i will never stop
hearing its call.Call of the Wild1 hour ago in Free Verse

Unnoticed poetIm am a poet
but nobody really knows it
I like to write about many things
To woe, or love, or opening wings
I may not be very known
and my poems my be alone
but my poems will still come
like a rhythm on a drum
and hopefuly i will be able to get judge
and get a nice nuge
to the right direction
and they will add my poems to the famous collection
next to the famous writers like edgar allan poe
And my friendship will growUnnoticed poet1 hour ago in Free Verse

EvolutionAs we evolve
We try to make sense
... of everything.
Eliminating mysteries
Discovering secrets
Understanding the truth about humanity.
This causes digression.
We lose trust.
All we have know, gone with the wind,
Only leaving us in our sins. Evolution2 hours ago in Free Verse

Counting SnowflakesLet's count all of the snowflakes, check to see if they're the same
Catch each falling sun on our tongues
Run through rivers of starlight
And give each cloud a name
Can we go back?

And it was a prefect thing, when the snow fell
Like Mother Nature put her finger to her lips, and sung the world to sleep
Breathed her icy breath across the city,
Smoothed out each hill, valley, and corner
Bare trees lay laden with Winter
and even the birds decided they could sleep in

I loved to touch that perfect thing
Be the first to break the spell
Called myself Armstrong, said that my first bootprint in this paradise
Was just as special as his on the moon

There is GoodThere is Good,

There is Evil.

There is Light,

There is Dark.

There is Darkness in the light,

There is Good in the Dark.

The Evil can be Good,

The Light can turn Gray,

But the Great will live on,

Until the better days.

All the Light will burn,

As a fire in the Night,

And the Evil will live on,

Never fazed by the blight.

The light will resurface,

When the time is right,

And the Great will live on,

And bring peace to the Night.

Darkness will consume,

All that’s left of Children’s dreams,

But a hero will come along,

Her light will shine in beams.

A hero she will be,

To all that will be saved,

But to her it seemThere is Good2 hours ago in Free Verse

8Tonight I thought about the past
And everything that it became
By taking everything I have ever known
And then making it it's own

Now, everything I have ever known
Has been concealed,
Destroyed...

InnocenceThe innocence of a child
is what I truly miss
not a care in a world
drama free
the only time you cried was when your parents forced you to do something
now the tears shed
when you think about dying
remember the friends you used to have
now they're gone & changed
I missed the days we would all laugh & have fun
even when our life around us sucked
we never realized it till later
society kills us
we become teenagers & we get hurt
we go through drama
we miss the innocence of being a childInnocence2 hours ago in Free Verse

TruthI saw you in the light today, I saw beyond the mask. And where there should have been a face, there was only black. I saw you in the light today, I saw right through your skin. And where there should have been a heart, there was just a skeleton. I saw you in the light today, I saw into your mouth. And where should have been a tongue all I saw were doubts.Truth2 hours ago in Free Verse

Heavendoes it exist?
is it real?
or is it something people make up to believe so they're not afraid of dying
or maybe they hope to die
& go to a different universe
If it's not real do we just have eternal sleep
or do we come back as a ghost
or something else
so many beliefs
& relgions?
who's to know or say

The Olympic Games of an Insomniacsome people wake at 4 am
brush their teeth and become
what they wanted to be when they grew up.
this is when i fall asleep.

hand me your torch, waker
en route to the bathroom sink
give me your black fire
run to me on your slipper-clad feet
i will carry your burden of vulnerability to nightmares
that you may go live out your dreamsThe Olympic Games of an Insomniac2 hours ago in Free Verse

Anonimowa miloscANONIMOWA MIŁOŚĆ

Anonimowe twarze
Widywane na ulicy
Codziennie
A nawet częściej
Nieznajomy głos
Usłyszany w autobusie
Mówiący:
Dzięki

Przypadkowe spotkanie
Na przejściu dla pieszych
Cześć
Rzucone na poczekaniu
I już wiesz
Że właśnie na nią
Czekałeś cały czas

A potem robisz wszystko
Żeby to nie prysło
Żeby pozostał z tobą jej czar

Wiesz
Że miałeś szczęście w nieszczęściu
Że nigdy nie spotkasz już jej
Lecz
Ciągle masz nadzieję
