Okay, so I found my poetry folder from years and years and years ago. I found myself going through some of it, cringing at most of it (how depressed was I back then?! I hope I wasn’t that emotional in person!) but found a few funny/interesting pieces that I wasn’t too embarrassed to share. Well, the writing of them is probably shit, but I thought the concepts/direction I was coming from were quite interesting. So I’ll post some up for you to read/laugh at
When The World Ends
Tortured rain clouds, the bitter smell of burning flesh
Char grilled civilisation, and the end still fresh
Bring on self-destruction – by the way humans act
Cheating, lying, scheming, it’s a fearful fact
When the world ends, what will we hear?
The human cries of regretful fear
We were given time to change our ways
Crossed our fingers through each lie that stays
Now look at us, the stupid fools
Wading around through forgotten pools
Of flooding lies where we try to stay
Afloat through each sickening day
Pumped up on things we wish to see
Blind to the facts, to the things that be
Living in a dream, where the world is our own
No turning back, to the future we roam
When the world ends, what will we fear?
The human cries we dread to hear
The regretful cries of the unchanged
Where we crossed our fingers – we are the ones to blame
Look at us now, dead and gone
Roaming the earth, can you see what’s wrong?
Like hollow shells, no self-restraint
Our beautiful world, we love to taint…
(I’d like to at this point make note of my desperation to get words that rhymed, haha).
Lovers Sonnet
You gently run your fingers down my spine
Of lovers poems to which you are mine
Tracing out lovers words only I know
Trusting you in places others daren’t go
You turn me gently and I trust your will
My dainty mouth you so easily seal
You caress my skin with your lovers kiss
You stroke my hair as my heart goes a miss
I gaze in your eyes, so gentle and warm
You make me feel like I had just been born
Softly we fall into each others arms
Drowning each other in mystical charms
I had never felt something quite like this
As together we share the lovers bliss
(This next one sort of reads like a seriously shit song)
Prince Charming
His love is your deepest desire
Your soul yearns for his touch
You’ve never felt this way about someone
It’s him you want so much
His attraction is your appeal
Your heart flutters when he’s seen
A smile imprinted on your heart
Being with him is your dream
But does he know you’re the one?
The hidden princess who’s on the run?
He is your Prince Charming
Perfect in every way
He understands the things others don’t
And knows all the right things to say
But what if you’re not his Cinderella?
And you wont have your love returned?
Will you try and fit the glass slipper?
Or leave your wish unearned?
His presence makes you quiet
But you love that he is near
Taking notice of your existence
Each moment you hold dear
His conversations make you quiver
As you love he noticed you
But then you’re just like the next girl
That he is talking too
But does he know you’re the one?
The hidden princess who’s on the run?
He is your Prince Charming
Perfect in every way
He understands the things others don’t
And knows all the right things to say
But what if you’re not his Cinderella?
And you wont have your love returned?
Will you try and fit the glass slipper?
Or leave your wish unearned?
The glass slipper just wasn’t adequate
It’s a story that was destined to fail
Pretty ember girl so delightfully quaint
Prince Charming was only ever a fairy tale…
That’s as much as I’m going to post, everything else was just too embarrassing! I can’t believe some of the stuff I wrote, I felt so sorry for myself. Are all grotty, “goth” teenagers like that? Why was I so miserable?! :S Woops!
