Scars InsideWhy is it that I,
Am so afraid to show when I've cried?
Is it because I don't want to look weak,
Or am cringing at the harsh words they might speak?

If tears left scars how many would we have?
For usually we hide whenever we're sad.
Brush them away and paste on a smile.
Say 'I'm okay' when we feel so defiled.

Try to act strong as we crumble inside.
Lock in the sorrow when it won't leave our mind.

Clench our hands and struggle to make it on our own.
So afraid of solitude yet fear not being alone.
If tears left scars how many would cover my face?
Would it make someone want to ease this pain?

I don't want to be a secluded island.

Trying To Let You Go.You've hurt me so bad;
why do I still want you?
Why do I still need you?
I can't let go
of your pretty smile,
of your perfect
imperfection.
I know you've moved on,
you're gone
and you've left me in the dust.
I'm nothing but a mere memory
confined to the depths of your soul.
I'm hanging on by a small thread.
Why can't I let go?

AloneShe hopes and prays
As it all fades away

Her dreams wither and die
Along with their pointless lies

One day, it will be okay
But that day is never today

Get up off the floor
You must continue to endure

This life and this pain
Again and again

Nothing matters anymore
Life is now just a chore

You're worthless, you know it
All this pain, you own it

But they'll never tell
Because you hide in your shell

They won't ever ask
They can't see through your mask

You will suffer and die
Don't even bother to try

Forever disowned
You're always alone

Don't say goodbyeI know your leaving, but tell me your not

Don't say goodbye or I'll be distraught

You know and I know it wasn't meant to be

But just say that tomorrow you'll be there with me

I know the truth, it will cause no confusion

But for now let me hold on to mt frail delusion

Tomorrow I'll miss the touch of your kiss

But lie to me today, because ignorance is bliss

Tell me you'll be there by my side

What ever you do don't say goodbye

Talk about our future that we'll never see

But leave the disappointment, save it for me

We could talk about the love from the days of our youth

We'll talk about anything except for the truth

You've already go

Shut Me OutI come home and call your name.
But silence is the only reply that's made.
My heart beats faster,
As I deny the disaster.
On the table I find the letter written in red ink.
I can't even think.

Its cold here without your breath.
I should be holding you against my chest.
You can only run so far.
Please tell me where you are.

I know I can't fully erase,
The pain on your face.
But please don't shut me out.
I need you now.

The note that you left,
Doesn't explain what's going through my head.
I hold it in fingers gone numb.
I'm still waiting for you to come.

Fall down to my knees.
And to the silence I plead.
Please keep her safe

Fake Smiles for YouI don't understand you
It's as if you're trying your very hardest
to make yourself unhappy
why don't you just try to smile
and stop acting like such a child
.
.
.
Yes, or course
your logic is infallible
I must try my hardest
to make myself miserable
because I absolutely love
feeling completely worthless
there's no other explanation
obviously this depression
the one that is drowning me
must be of my own choosing
I guess I could try to smile
even though every grin
results in more tears
than I care to admit
but if it will ease your guilt
of knowing that perhaps
you are to blame
for the unstable child
hiding inside my he

Stay SealedI'm sitting here smiling.
The suns shining.
Everything is going just right.
But that's when I realize.

Thought I hear your voice down the hallway.
And I look up expecting to see your face.
That's when in comes the rain.
Because I remember you've gone away.

I stare at the chess board waiting for you,
To hurry up and make your move.
I look up and that's when it hits me.
You're not here with me.

I laugh and turn to tell you the joke.
Start to say the words and then they choke.
Because it comes crashing down on me.
That you aren't here to see.

So many things we did together.
How you loved this rainy weather.
I remember that you

ShatteredLike dominoes falling one by one,
You remember all that was done.
Innocence doesn't mean what it did.
Somehow your heart no longer fits,

In the child's body where it should.
He shattered all that once was good.
Little girl only seven years old.
How did he age your young soul?

Demanded what you should never have to give.
Left you to survive and try to live,
With jagged pieces sticking through your chest,
Where your intact spirit used to rest.

In a moment your childhood ended.
But his love was still pretended.
All your dreams crushed beneath the feet,
Of the act that made you incomplete.

You buried all the memories inside,

Chains DisguisedWith unseeing eyes I stare,
At the letter which I've written.
But somehow it seems too much for them to bear.
And I already know it won't be given.

Because sometimes a beautiful fantasy,
That is actually chains disguised,
Is too accepted to be,
Torn from unsuspecting minds.

I harm myself,
So I won't hurt anyone else.
Why burden them with my sorrow?
What good will it do if they know?

But a part of me,
Longs to not live inside this mystery.
But veiled caution, my dearest friend,
Says it safer not to let the lying end.

If the darkness lifts,
And they see my cobwebbed skeletons,
Will their love for me shift,
Will our relationsh

Blackened SkiesShe looks in the mirror but nothing's there.
Brushes the hair from her face,
And can't find the will to care.
That all her dreams have been erased.

Imitated those she believed were spotless.
Crushed the stars to steal their light.
Walked so long through the darkness,
That she didn't see herself start to unwind.

She blows kisses to blackened skies.
And watches poisoned rain fall like pattering feet.
Smiles at the gouges carved in her mind,
Wondering of they make her complete.

How long has she wandered,
Without a course or guide?
For how many years has she pondered,
And not yet found a pattern to life.

Imitated those she believe

Every WordYou laugh and take my hand.
We splash in the waves and run through sand.
I'm smiling and your grin is like a star shining.
So warm and strong like this love's deep binding.
And even though these are just memories,
It feels like you're here with me.

I listen to your favorite songs,
And I almost hear you hum along.
I can feel your fingers brushing my face.
And I know we'll meet again someday.

Big brother I miss the board games we'd play.
The movies we'd watch and the things you'd say.
Until the day I see your face I'll remember your every word.
And even though its painful I know it won't always hurt.

That year was a hard one for u

Bring to LifeOne's scars are not simply disfigurements,
They tell a vivid story written in blood and skin.
Why do people's icy stares never relent,
When this is pain they've never been in?

I know hope is there.
Because its the only reason why,
I held on when no one cared,
And didn't give up inside.

I want to break the surface,
Of the sorrow's hold.
I believe each life has a purpose.
So bring to life my soul.

I don't want to die,
That wasn't the reason this began.
All I desire is to survive,
And get out of this dark land.

I know hope is there.
Because its the only reason why,
I held on when no one cared,
And didn't give up inside.

I wan

SometimesSometimes I feel like,
There's no worth in my life.

Sometimes I start to think,
I'm a ship starting to sink.

Sometimes I scream,
At the girl in the mirror who I see.

I tell her she's not good enough,
Never deserving love.

Slap her and beat her down.
Because all she merits is being driven to the ground.

Sometimes I'll stare at the ceiling,
Trying to silence my feelings.

As the tears fall from the corners of my eyes,
I call her weak and tell her not to cry.

She isn't who I want to be.
But that girl is me.

Sometimes I wish that I,
Could destroy this shell I live inside.

The Other SideYou sit down and look at the white screen.
Time to wipe all your frustration clean.
Smile as you see he's on this time
Now you'll draw a few more lines.
Enjoy making him squirm and writhe.
This is what makes you feel alive.

Do you realize there's a real person on the other side,
Of all those hateful words you spew online?
They aren't invisible people for you to use as a vent.
Causing pain with every message you ever sent.

They have a heart that beats,
That hopes and dreams.
Eyes that open every morning.
They deal with life whether its sunshine or storming.
There's a life on the other side,
Of all those times you just spoke

She is Me.You're distancing yourself again
But I'm afraid she won't be following you this time
She can't 'Forgive and Forget'
She'll forgive because it's the right thing to do
But the scar will remain as a reminder

She doesn't want to be with the people who hurt her
Like you did
She doesn't want to get close to those who don't trust her
Like you do
She doesn't want to be betrayed again

Stop questioning her all the time
Maybe that's the reason she doesn't speak?
Not to get close to anyone
Not to let information leak
Not to have anyone know, what she has become

She's too fragile
Very soon she may break
Yet she still searches for someone

To Me, Music Is...

The percussion is the rain on my windows
The melody is the whistle when the wind blows
The chorus is the chirping of crickets in June
Man, oh man, I love that tune
I dance to the beat of the rain all night
When I hear the wind whistle, I'll be alright
As long as there's music, by nature or freestyle
Any good song always makes me smile

I don't need an iPod or an MP3
Nature's song is fine with me
I just need an honest beat
And friends to dance with in the street
Prosaic singers, heavy synths,
Clichéd lyrics on radio hits
That kind of music doesn't stay true
Every time I hear it, I feel so blue

I'd pick a nightingale's tune

Better Than Me

"Everybody's got a talent"
That's what my papa used to say
"Everybody is unique
In his or her own special way."

"But Papa," I said
"Are you sure about that?
What about me?
What am I good at?"

"Well," he replied
Leaning against the wall
"You can sing, you can draw
You can write, that's best of all."

But Papa is a liar
I can't do all that stuff
When I sing, I'm off key
When I draw, I screw up

When I write? I don't know
It's not exactly talent
I guess I'm pretty good
But I wouldn't say I have it

Everyone's got talent
Everyone but me
Everybody's better
Papa, can't you see?

I'm not good enough
No matter how hard I try
I'm

Perfect Criminal, Closest FriendI knew a boy of age fifteen
The nicest guy I've ever seen
A caring friend, my closest bud
I loved him so, like flesh and blood
We were connected through heart and soul
Without the other, we weren't whole
When we were together, my world was bright
Now that he's gone, I've lost the light

It's more than just another death
Everything crumbled when he left
He stole my laugh, my smile, my joy
He isn't just another boy
To his grave he brought a part
Of me that resided in his heart
My dearest friend, why have you robbed me?
Instead of my smile, wouldn't you prefer money?
A piece of gold, five silver rings
Why do you insist on breakin

Words And Lies

by ~MXFragility, Apr 3, 2012, 6:41:54 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Words on paper, their meanings long gone
Friends and fakers, the difference is none
Promises drowned out, neglected, and rotten
With the sheer stench of lies, it seems I've forgotten
How to gain someone's trust
Or is it just them?
I could never guess with this incessant mayhem
Betrayed, paranoid, and insecure
Everyone's fighting in this nightmarish war

Will a winner emerge?
Only time will tell
But right now everything seems headed straight to hell
I guess that's why they say
"Think before you speak"
'Cause once the damage is done
Our bonds become weak
Everyone's an enemy, a target, if you will
Distrust is something that's become run-of-the-mill

Hands are being dirtied, blood is being shed
The fictions people spout dye this world in red
It's everywhere, truth and lies become one
Don't waste your time hiding, don't even try to run
In reality, words are the only thing with power
Think of all the lies you can tell in an hour
How? You probably think me insane
Lemme stop you there, 'cause your conjecture is inane
Ruminate, ponder, is the picture still opaque?
Give it some thought for your own sake
After all, the pen is mightier than the sword
His actions spoke, but his words roared

I like it it's very reflective of reality and what goes on in the world
It really makes you think which is what I think a good poem should do

I enjoyed this. It is a very well composed and thought-out poem. And I don't normally like poetry that isn't epic (I really love epic poems) or Robert Frost. Magnifico!

One thing, and really, only a grammar freak like me would notice. In the line "Lemme stop you there, 'cause you're conjecture is insane", your use of 'you're' is incorrect. You're is the contraction of you are, and so it doesn't make sense. In context, I'm assuming you meant 'your', indicating that the conjecture belongs to the 'you' of the audience.

If you read it aloud, however, it doesn't matter because they sound the same.

~MXFragility Aug 2, 2012 General Artist

oh didnt notice that there. i'll fix it right now. thanks for pointing that out.

~YumiSmiles May 29, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

The whole poem is great, and i really love your style, but the last line was the one that really resonated, you're really talented.

~MXFragility May 29, 2012 General Artist

thanks and thanks for the watch
