Shadows by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Shadows

Shadows, are you friend or foe? Nagging, is my desire to know, You have planted a seed in my heart, Worked upon me your black art. Should I let you stay, or make you go? The angel on my left says you're vile, While the devil on my right sits and smiles, I don't know who to believe, In half, my soul you have cleaved. I have made my choice, Now the darkness has stolen my voice, Eyes glowing red in the darkness, Controlling my every action like a harness. It's all over now, The show is over, I take a bow, I have lost this war to you; my soul is yours to keep, I never would have expected to pay a price this steep.

My Bad Habit by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

My Bad Habit

You're my bad habit, On you I just can't quit, You're unintentionally addictive, With all your charm and wit. I didn't see it coming, I never had a chance, And now I just can't help myself, Because you've got me in a trance. Your eyes captivate me, In them I remain lost, I swallow whole all the lies you feed me, And continue loving you no matter the cost. I know you're nothing but a bad habit, But still I can't stop, I think of you every minute of every day, Because in my heart, you've set up shop. Just a month past, my heart you stole, Now you're the one thing that can make me whole.

My Dark Angel by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

My Dark Angel

You're my dark angel, your wings black as night, All the wrongs in this world, you try to make right, Darkness is your guide, By the rules, you don't abide, On your lips sits a wicked grin, That makes me think you could be the devil's twin. All the girls, they say you're bad news, You roam around, getting any woman you choose, Your daring attitude and good looks, It's something straight out of the story books, When I saw you there was an instant connection, You had no trouble winning my affection. You and I, we make quite the pair, To you, my soul I'm not afraid to bare, I know you'll protect me from the storm, You'll keep me s

Breaking Free by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Breaking Free

I was not born to live like the rest, All the constrictions and constraints I detest, Society's rules keeping me in check, Like a noose around my neck, I won't follow the herd like a sheep, So I'll take a chance, take a leap, These shackles won't hold me any longer, Because now I'm so much stronger, It's high time I got out of this place, Abandon it for somewhere with a faster pace, The law and me, we've never met eye to eye, They've called me a murderer, a traitor, a spy, That's why I'm leaving here tonight, I'll be gone by morning's light.

This Beast Inside Of Me by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

This Beast Inside Of Me

There's all these voices in my head, They make me want to shoot myself with a bullet of lead, There's all these shadows in the night, They make me wish for daylight, There's all these violent thoughts I think, It's almost enough to drive me to the brink, I think there's something wrong with my mind, It's worse than all the most awful ailments combined, The voices are constantly whispering, My resistance constantly withering, One day I'll give in to this temptation, And do something that will cause eternal damnation, This need to do violence yearns to be unleashed, One day it'll have to be released, And then everyone will finally

Time Bomb by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Time Bomb

From the moment I first saw you I knew, That you were a time bomb and it was only a matter of time before you blew, But I wanted oh so bad to hold your heart in my hands, And I would have you, no matter fate's plans, From the moment I first saw you I knew, That loving you would be a hard thing to do, Because I'd have to find a way to keep you from exploding, To keep our relationship from eroding, From the moment I first saw you I knew, That I was the one for you, Because I'd be by your side through it all, Always there to break your fall.

Don't Mess it Up This Time by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Don't Mess it Up This Time

This is your last chance, You're lucky I even took a backwards glance, We've tried to make this work before, And now once more we fight this war, The grief you've caused me, you'll never know, Where did the good times go? You'd better clean up your act, Or you can get your bags packed, Because I won't put up with this anymore, Being around you is such a chore, But despite this, I'm giving you an opportunity to redeem yourself, I'm putting my hate on a shelf, Think carefully; don't make a mess of this, Or you'll forever find yourself falling into an abyss, Of isolation and self-loathing, On your own words you'll be choking, So

Final Stand by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Final Stand

This is my final stand, This is the last chance I'll have to hold your hand, Today I'll let fate decide the ending to this story, Will I burn out and be forgotten, or go out in a blaze of glory? Whatever happens, I want you to know this, I'm trying to convey all my love for you in this final kiss, And I can't express in words the sorrow I feel, As I leave you alone, and hope you'll heal, I know you're strong enough to move on, You're tough as steel, and beautiful as a swan, Without me you'll be just fine, And maybe we'll meet again one day, if the stars align.

I Comfort Myself by WordOfChen, literature

Literature

I Comfort Myself

With a warm drink, whispering secrets to my own reflection. The struggles that plague me, though none may know, Are only for the ears of my quiet mirror, who smiles Softly, warmly and with care. He tells me, I'm fine I've done well for now and soon I may finally rest. Though the silence continues to press upon me, Weighing upon my soul like an iron crate. Still I find comfort in whispering secrets, If only to my own reflection - holding a warm drink... -Chen Yuan Wen, 17th October 2012

Green Emerald Eyes by Avangelina, literature

Literature

Green Emerald Eyes

His gentle tears were what caught my eye. Walking through the overcrowded street, deep in my own alternate reality, conversing with the clouds, my whispers carried by the wind... I see it. An inch away from the corner of my eye. A glisten, a glisten shining brighter than all the raindrops pitter-pattering on the heads of the heedless folk rushing around me. It was so pure, purer than anything that I had ever laid my eyes on before. It filled my heart with joy, I had to investigate. But the closer I got...the sadder I became. Then I heard...the cries. As I came closer, I realized they weren't just cries, but a desperate plea for help. He

Dangerous by Spuffy12, literature

Literature

Dangerous

I thought that maybe if I could push you far enough away, Maybe I could have saved you from me, & Maybe it wouldn't have ended like it did, With broken hearts and broken bottles laying at our feet. I thought that maybe if I could get you to hate me, Maybe then, I could save you. I thought that maybe if you didn't love me anymore, Things would get better for you. I never thought I'd miss you this much, I never thought that I'd hurt you this much, & I never thought that this would hurt me, too. I never thought it would hurt this much, But I have to do what I have to do, And that means, baby, I can't have you. I'm dangerou

INTO MY THOUGHTS by skaggzy, literature

Literature

INTO MY THOUGHTS

INTO MY THOUGHTS These voices, a thousand different voices in my head, An agonizing attempt to get me to do what they've said, They are the scars on what once was a beautiful mind, But time has long since left any brilliance behind, They are incessant verbalization of fears that taunt me, As well as the unrelenting mistakes that so often haunt me, I am ever so mentally beaten and broken down, Forever shackled to the heavy burdens I must carry around, Trust me, for it is the straight forward truth when I say, You don't want to see through my mind's eye in any way, It's a sickness, a life sucking illness you will come to see, The continuous ci

15-The Devil by SilverWynd, literature

Literature

15-The Devil

Within us all there is a shadow, the darkness of our carnal natures, it reminds us we are human and animal, with cravings, a hunger and thirst for life. Even in the darkest night there shines a light and even the brightest light casts a dark shadow. Those who attempt to oppress the beast in shame and fear deny themselves half of who they are and live in suffering of being only half-alive, those who most suppress the truth of thier nature cast the strongest eye of judgement on others. Even in the darkest night there shines a light and even the brightest light casts a dark shadow. Embrace the beast and face your demon

Je t'aime by Dark-Quill, literature

Literature

Je t'aime

I try to picture your face every time I close my eyes, The beauty, the wonder, the perfection. The cool touch of your skin against mine, As we briefly touch, Before we are torn away again. Even with the imagination I possess, I can't see it. The beauty you have cannot be rivalled by any thought. The wonder you control cannot be recreated by any mind. The perfection you possess cannot be matched by any other. The feeling I get when I see you cannot be merely started on whim. The leap of my heart every time we touch, The way I never want to let go, The worry that crosses my mind every time I walk away, The smile I get when I think

Abuse. by WeStandForSomething, literature

Literature

Abuse.

You once brought me pleasure, but now you bring pain, It tears me up to watch you go to the bottle again and again, There's nothing I can do, but watch as your life goes up in flames, And sit and take it each night as you call me vulgar names. But even though you cause me so much pain, In trying to stay away from you, my efforts are vain, Because I like it when your thorns cut my skin, And you mean so much to me, I don't know where to begin. I just wish you could be like you used to, Kissing me, and taking care of me like you would do, Oh how I miss the time, Before the alcohol ravaged your mind. My life now revolves around you,

My Bio

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the world of poetry, so please understand that these aren't the best examples of the art, but that's why I'm here; I'm really interested in improving my skills, so any tips or suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks!

A BIT ABOUT ME:

I'm 18. Graphic design is my main focus as an artist, and I hope to either become one, or teach graphic design to high school students in the future. However, recently I discovered the world of poetry, and realized that it is really fun and a good way to express yourself, so I created this account in hopes of improving my skills and sharing my work with others.

While I may be new to the world of poetry I have been an avid reader for a long time now. I like to read mostly fantasy series, and some of my favorites are The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks, the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and Talion: Revenant by Michael A. Stackpole. I also love playing video games and listening to music.

MP3 player of choice: iPod Touch

SUMMER IS HERE!

0 min read

This morning I wrote my final high school exam. EVER. WHAT?!?!? Five freaking years of my life, and it's over ALREADY? It was a long ride, but looking back it seems like such a short time ago I was a little naive grade nine who didn't even know how to use Photoshop. :D Not to get all sentimental on you guys or anything, but it is kind of a big thing. But there will be no bells or whistles or streamers to signify this glorious event - I graduated last year and came back for an extra year, so I'm not going to grad, since I did last year. So without all the celebrations it's kind of weird for me. It's just over. That's it. On a happier note, su
