Advice from the... meh I just wanna write a poem

Yeah, cruddy title I know. But it works. Newest poems at the bottom.

So, I figured I should put a little "warning" on here in case anyone reads this :) I just want everyone to know that not all the poems I write on here are exactly how I'm feeling! Sometimes I just get a cool idea and I write about it, while other times what I say is what's going on with me at the time. I personally like having a little mystery so I'm not going to specifically say which are which, but just so you all know! Thanks for reading this!

1.
Write it down.
Take a note.
Read aloud.
See what you wrote.

***

2.
Writing a poem is somewhat arduous.
Finding words that rhyme.
But though sometimes it may be strenuous,
It's always worth your time.

***

3. (Warning, the end of this poem is lame. Sorry.)
Do they care for what I am?
Do they see the truth in me?
Because it feels as though my words are frivolous,
As though no one can see.
That what I've got is meant for them
To test, to poke, to prod.
To figure out
And then they'll find
That this is no facade*.

I want to get a point across.
To write something that lingers.
I want to make a masterpiece,
Let beauty flow from my fingers.
I want to write a piece of work
That's truly worth your while.
I want to ask for just an inch,
And really take a mile.
I want to live a life that's free
Where people see the good.
I want to sing out in the open,
Not just say I should.
And 'cause I've asked so very much
I'll finish now with this:
Appreciate who and what you have
And strive for utter bliss.

*(fuh-saw-d)

To find a word that rhymes with purple

I really couldn't say.

'Cause purple rhymes with nuthin' see.

Alone does purple play.

***

5.

You, Sir, make me very mad,

I don't know what to say.

Being nice to me is not so hard

You should try it out some day.

Jerk.

6.

The Month of Orange and Purple*

This poem doesn't rhyme.

Well I guess, it kind of does.

For while the title is a rhyme-less mess,

The rest of it doesn't rhyme either.

*the words 'month' 'orange' and 'purple' don't rhyme with anything. So it's funny. haha.

***

7. (for homework)

I have to write a poem

In which a word repeats.

A word repeats.

A word repeats.

A word repeats repeats.

A poem I must write

one that repeats a word.

Repeats a word.

Repeats a word.

Repeats a word a word.

The poem that is writ here

tells a message that is this:

A word repeats

Repeats a word

These words repeat these words.

Sometimes class is really hard

And I don't learn a thing.

At times

I don't 

Even want 

To see what the day may bring.

I leave the class

And walk a bit.

I try to hide my tears.

But in the end

I'm crying hard,

I cannot stop my fears.

What if I

Can never learn?

What if I am hopeless?

What if like

An old tv,

I'm broken and remote-less?

As though there is

No way to change

My channel

Or

My fate.

I think these thoughts 

As I walk to class.

From crying,

I am late.

***

9.

I don't know
Why I cry
Every.
Single.
Day.

I can't explain
What makes me grieve
And mourn
The time
Away.

I pray to God

And ask Him please

To put

My tears

At bay.

He leans in close

And whispers soft

Fear not.

I am

Yahweh.

  ***

10. 
I get so mad.

I don't know why

I wish that I could stop

Myself from yelling at my mom

And glaring at my pop.

At times they don't do anything

(I said I can't explain)

Yet I react

So horridly

(I can't help but complain)

They don't deserve my anger.

They don't deserve my rage.

So I will write my madness out

And leave it on the page.

***

11.

It's time for bed

I have to go

To sleep now,

It is late.

I'd like to stay up longer

But tomorrow cannot wait.

So I will lay my head down

And for hours be sedate.

Till the sun comes up

To greet the sky

And play at Heaven's gate.

***

12. (for homework)

These lines I'm writing out
Are poetic yet obscure.
They have no rhyme or rhythm
They're caught up in suspense,
Waiting to be paired
With their perfect rhythmic brother.

***

13.

Save me from my shame untold.

Take my heart

And make it bold.

Hear my voice

Please answer me.

Tell me Lord

That I am free.

***

14.

God above please hear my prayer

I am crying out to you.

Lord I know your heart is fair.

Help me see your love is true.

***

15.

Hear my voice so full of worship

To the Lord,

My God,

My King.

I love you God

Of earth and heaven.

Hear me now,

To you I sing.

***

16.

Good days come and pass,

But bad days stop all time.

They bring about

Tears of spite

They darken every rhyme.

I hate bad days

They ruin me,

They take from me my joy.

And sweep away all thoughts of peace

With their malicious ploy.

***

17.

Today has been a rough one,

It brought me to my brink.

It kept me from all bubbly laugh

And caused my love to drink.

My heart is drunk, my voice is sunk,

Alas, it cannot swim.

I'm broken, I'm unspoken,

And my spirit has gone dim.

***



18.

I cannot find the words to say,

The ones to set things right.

The English language

Falls away

And leaves me with

"We might."

We might succeed

We might work out

We just might carry on.

But deep inside

The words that occupy me are:

"You're wrong."

***

19.

I want to show you

That I care,

Though I am here

And you are there.

We've made a mess

Of what we've been

Yet we both know

We cannot win.

***

 20.

The facts are there,

We studied them,

And found they'd never break

And so we made another way

To fix our new mistake.

We set aflame our problems

And watched them melt away.

Their ashes fell upon the dirt
And mixed in with the clay.

Then when the smoke had settled,

And the air was once more clear,

We stood there standing hand in hand,

Forgetting all our fear.

***

21.

I'd isolate myself and sit for hours if I could

Paying little mind to the things I know I should.

I'm slowly losing interest,

I feel misunderstood.

If I could fix these problems in a heartbeat then I would.

***

22.

If I could tell one word

That would explain what I am feeling,

I would call it out aloud

My heart the world revealing.

***

23.

You want for me to come to you

Least that is what you said.

But if I were to go there

Then do tell me,
Would we wed?

For I won't give my heart away

To those who'll leave it dead.

So take a risk

And leave your home.

Come here to me instead.

***

24.

Why do they say

I'm what they like

When truly they are lying.

His heart will always be with her

So what's the use in trying?

I'm sick of waiting 'round for him

To find what I'm implying.

So I will leave

And try to stop

My trusting heart from dying.

***

25.

I didn't mean to hurt you

Didn't mean to lead you on.

Thought that I was being careful

But i guess that I thought wrong.

I'm sorry.

***

26.

I won't play second fiddle

To the one who left him then.

I'll never be his rebound girl

I won't do that again.

***

27.

I've waited for the time to come

When I would see life clearly.

I've spent my time

Awaiting it 

And craving it severely.

I didn't know 

What it would bring

Or what it would be like.

But I did know 

That it would cause

My fear to take a hike.

And when alas

The time had come

That all had been made clear,

I saw the Lord upon His throne,

Abolishing my fear.

***

28.
There's no way to explain it.
There's nothing I can say.
The world moves on without me.
I cannot leave this day.

I'm trapped within it's barriers
There's no way to get out.
And no one seems to hear me
When I yell and scream and shout.

***

29.

I have spoken every word

And I have used up every letter.

I bought out every sentence,

Just to live life as a debtor.

***

30. (I know... this one doesn't really rhyme... My bad)
I
Hate
Hate
Hate
Hate
HATE
That feeling you get when you know you're losing a friend.

***

31.

I miss you.

And I can't make sense
Of how

Or why

Or what 

Makes me miss someone so dearly

Till I feel it in my gut.

And it wouldn't be so baffling

Had it been another time.

For I haven't anyone to miss...

It seems to be that I'm

All alone down here.

Just missing you,

You, whom I've never met.
And though I know it sounds impossible,
I cannot seem to let

This empty feeling leave my bones.
Once hollow to the core,
Now they're filled up with this loneliness,
They're always craving more.

More to fill the void,
To calm the sorrow
That's daily growing deeper.
"You need someone to call your own,
Go find yourself a keeper."

They all tell me that companionship
Is really what I'm wanting.
"You should find a boy", they tell me.
But their words feel simply taunting.

I don't need another person
Who simply wants an acclamation.
I need the one and only God above,
Who deserves my adoration.

And with His love and kindness
I no longer feel alone.
He welcomes me with open arms,
And claims me as His own.

***

32.

It's a giddy, happy, fuzzy feeling, 

Knowing someone likes you.

You cannot help but smile

At the mention of their name. 

It's a fuzzy, happy, giddy feeling
That bubbles all around you.
And constantly reminds you that
You'll never be the same.

***

33.

It seems I've lost that feeling

That happy little glow.

I never thought I'd end it,

But who was I to know.

These things don't always last long

Sometimes they come and go.

So I'll
Ask

If we

Can talk awhile,

And let

My feelings

Show.

***

34.

You brighten my day.

You light up my life.

I pray for the day

That you call me your wife.

I've saved up my love.

I've locked up my heart.

For all of the years

That we were apart.

I've waited for you.

And cried many nights.

I knew that my temper

Would cause many fights.

I have my own setbacks.

Please know that is true.

I'm angry, 

I'm scared,

I'm no good for you.

But if you love me, 

My dear,

And offer a smile,

I'll stay by your side.

Every inch, 

Every mile.

I'll love you and keep you

So close to my heart.

We'll live our lives together

Until death do us part.

***

35.

She can feel the love between them.

She can hear it in his voice.

She can see it when he looks at her.

She never had a choice.

There are types of love 

She never knew 

Until they came about.

And now she has

To choose the love

That doesn't bring her doubt.

***

37.

My mind is like a battlefield.

With loud,

And fight,

And anger.

Oh please do not disrupt me.

With fear,

You'll be

In danger.

***

38.

The boy was young

The girl was sweet

And their love made

The sun speak.

And their love grew

And life broke forth,

A child

Who'll make

Your knees weak.

***

39.

She's a set of stairs

And they fall for her.

In her banister

They're caught.

They walk her steps

As they capture her

With their eyes

And with their thought.

She slips them up,

She bruises them,

But hate her

They cannot.

Because she brought them here

To where they are,

On the floor

They truly

Sought.

***

40.

She craves his touch,
He craves her scent
Of passion all over his clothes.

She says "Let's be friends, because I can't commit"
He believes her.
But no. DO NOT TRUST HER.
Because what he doesn't know is that
She can't commit to a boy who is hurting
While she still looks for a cure.

Yes and she craves his touch
Just to fill up the void
Of the one who gave up on her.
But she cannot hurt him.
No she won't shut him down.
As he opens up to her.

So they live in a moment
In a dark parking lot
That some would call wrong but they call adventure.
And for that moment he is hers and she is his
And in that moment they are each other.

And though she won't give it all she'll give just enough
To make her not sleep and not eat anymore.
And he'll live on his days always believing that
"She can't commit."
As she bolts the door
To her heart.

***

41.

Please forgive me.

For it appears that my emotions have 

Spilled from my eyes again

***

42.

I breathe you in

And hold my heart

As all of you

Consumes me.

I keep that breath,

I dare not breathe.

Because 'we' is what I

Should be.

***

43.

Why is it that

Young and love

Are thought with such

Disdain?

As though there is 

No chance or way

For that love to

Remain.

And people frown

Upon all love

That their minds can't 

Explain.

Yet young's a love

That all minds hope

They one day may

Attain.

***

44.
I may not need you
But that will not stop me
From gripping your hand
And leading you on.
