My Poems


Violets are blue, but blood is red,
remember me, when I am dead,
for I am going, farewell, goodbye,
no-one to see me except the sky.
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Where I am going I won't see it again
this life is so painful, too painful to bear
but it will be over once I am there.
Bloodstains are spattered over my clothes and my bed,
In 65 seconds, I will be dead.


You need your freedom, but I need my space
Stop breathing my air, Get out of my face,
i don't need you, so leave me alone,
Stop living my life, go get one of your own.


They tried to test my IQ at the age of 4
Wanting to find out my intelligence score
They showed me a picture of a plum and of a pear
And in between them was a teddy bear
They asked me "Which one's different?Which one doesn't belong?"
They taught me that diffferent is wrong.

(I adapted this from a quote off someone famous)

"Life gets Better"

Here we languish
in grief and anguish,
But early sorrow
Shall fade tomorrow:
After the storm the sun shines
bright.
Sweet peace and pleasure
In boundless measure
We know is given
In the gardens of heaven;
And there my hopes yearn
day and night!

Strike me and beat me
Do what you will
How do you intend to break me?
Even if you kill?
Lifeless though my body
My soul will never break
Inside I shan't be broken
Though all my wounds shall ache.

My body racked with pain
My soul will roam free still
You shall never break me
Not even as you kill
Hate can only bind you
But Love can set you free
You need not kill a person
To make yourself like me


I'm still trying to think of a title for this poem!
Any suggestions?


Whatever I do it's insane
I can't look back
I'm locked in the right-hand lane
But on the wrong track
And if ever you were here again
I'd never shed a tear again
If I could hold you one more time
I'd keep you here, you would be mine.

Why did you leave in my time of need?
Why couldn't you have stayed around?
While you're in heaven, on earth it is hell.
Without you, it's like I'm underground.
I need you now, need your sweet kiss.
Need you to hold me, to make my life bliss.
Tears I shed for you a thousand by the day,
I want to join you, but I don't know the way.
Besides on Earth they need me, as I needed you.
And now, I just don't know what to do!




"My friend Nobody"

Nobody loved me,
Nobody cared,
Nobody was my best friend,
Nobody kissed me,
Nobody cried,
Nobody was sad,
When I died.

"Can't go on"

Feels just like a Monday morning,
Just another working day,
Time passes but the day gets longer,
Somehow I must get away!

Is it you? Is it me?
Are we going to someplace we don't want to be?
Can't go up! Can't go down!
It feels just like we're going around and around.

Can't go on like this forever,
We gotta have a change of scene,
But we don't want to have to do it all over,
It's time to go and live the dream.

Is it you? Is it me?
Are we going to someplace we don't want to be?
Can't go up! Can't go down!
It feels just like we're going around and around.

"A wall"

Brick by brick this wall was built
But you try to tear it down
But this wall shall never break
However much you frown.

This wall wasn't built from stone and rock
This wall was built from blood
Blood shed freely, blood shed willingly
The wall will withstand any flood.

To keep this wall standing up
Standing firm and tall
The tears of a thousand children
Are the cement in this wall.

But tears are not always a bad thing
Some of these tears aren't the same
Some of them tears of healing
Some of joy at playing a game.

And blood that is shed in battle
Is much worse than blood willingly spilt
Your swords are stained with red
And blood all the way to the hilt.

Our wall is not made of cowardice
Our wall is made not of fear
Our wall is made of something stronger
To keep you from reaching us here

This wall will not be broken
However much you try
However much blood you shed
Or tears that you may cry.

Our wall shall not be broken.
