BeautyBeauty isn't what's on TV,
Beauty isn't what's in magazines.
Beauty isn't starving yourself,
Beauty isn't degrading your health.
Beauty isn't tall and lean,
Beauty doesn't go by society's means.
Beauty isn't makeup caked on your face,
Beauty shouldn't be a desirable craze.
Beauty can be on the inside too,
Beautiful is me and you.

FadingLosing hope in everything,
Don't care what the future brings.
We're all gonna die anyways,
Why not tomorrow, why not today?

Tell me the reason, my purpose in life,
Tell me, why not suicide?
Give me reasons why I should live,
If I took my life, could you forgive?

I'm sorry, I know you thought I was stronger,
But I told you I can't take it any longer.
You told me these things, I told you I'm not,
I tried, I fought, again I lost.

This battle with myself, I've had enough,
Endured so much, depression's tough.
Battling addiction of self-harm too,
You have no idea what I've gone through.

I wanted to tell you.. So many times I'd trie

Say GoodbyeThat feeling;
a weight upon your chest.
A punch that
sends you reeling,
like the suff'ring
you're concealing...

Do you know what it's like
to stand out in the cold?
Do you know what it's like
to have no one to hold?

When you're alone in a crowd;
oh how you'd like to scream aloud,
but from your throat there comes no sound.
This fire rages inside,
but there's no one in which to confide.
You feel lost without a guide,
so give in and say goodbye!

You're watchin' from the outside lookin' in.
They're laughin',
reveling in hate and sin.
And you're knockin'
but still no answer there has been.

You fall to your knees in the pourin

. . .A blade down the wrist,
A tear down the cheek
And you say she is weak

An empty heart
Lost in the darkest night
As she losses her will to fight

Blood pools beneath her
But the pain she doesn't feel
These scares will never heal

A soul is lost
It's cries for help ignored
Now forever lost in a casket made of board

Forgetful MeI've forgotten who I am
Like a shadow in the night
Lost in an ocean of darkness
Until someone shines the light

Can you please help me search?
For a forgotten past
I long to be myself again
This is happening all too fast

I've forgotten who I am
Like a light in a deep mist
I’m too far out of reach
Yet I’m still within your midst

Can you please rescue me?
Bring back life to a dead mind
The doctors say it's all over
We're running out of time

I've forgotten who I am
Or how you used to feel
Your touch is now replaced
With a pain that's all too real

Can you please help me remember?
Tell me how, why or when
Then I can finally be at p

Maybe ifMaybe if I drink
People will talk to me
Even if it's just because
I know a guy
Who would buy beer for them
Because we're still to young

Maybe If I stole
People will hang out with me
Even if its just because
They know I would take anything
If It meant
They we're my 'friends'

Maybe if I dressed different
People will know my name
Even if its just because
They heard I was easy
From a boy who's name
I never heard

Maybe if I smoke
People will notice me
Even if its just because
The smell of my leather jacket
That I snatched from the thrift store

Maybe if I changed
People will like me
Even if its not the real me
and it's for all the wrong reas

Listening to love songsI've listened to all the songs
Hummed to all the rhymes
Danced to every beat
Now I have something that is mine
But I don't know what to do
There's so much left to lose

They can find someone who loves
Better than I do
So many others who can express
Someone who can prove
That they love them more than I
Watch as life just flies by

I want to say I love them
More than any being
There must be someone elsewhere
That will treat them better than me
But they want to stay by my side
Nowhere else for me to hide

I've fallen too deep into their eyes
Now I crave their little smiles
Feel their sadness and their grief
For them, I'd walk t

ScarsPlease don't hide
Your gorgeous arms covered with marks
From anguish.

Please don't hide
Your beautiful legs covered with stripes
From agony.

I see those scars and feel pity.
They make me want to be like a loving father
Kissing a child's wound to make it better,
To make the pain go away;
And then engulf you in a loving embrace
So you won't feel alone.

Everyone has issues,
Everyone has scars.
Some are clear as a summer's day,
Some are deep in the abyss of the mind.
I'm no exception.

I want to find them
And heal them.

So I can heal you.

What do you see?When you look into my eyes
What do you see?

When you speak my name
When you pull me close
Are you really that broken?
So you no longer feel the love I give
The affection I show
Or the hope my eyes try to be

Come over here now
Stop hiding
Tell me your truth
Show me those tears
And I'll tell you my truth
Show you my fears
I'll tell you about a girl
A girl who found hope in the most hopeless boy
Let me wipe the dripping sorrow of your cheeks
as I figure out what you need right now
Let me be the first person ever to be there for you
I'll tell you this story,
I'm sure you will appreciate it
the girl is cute and boy so strong

Why.. Seriously why live?Why live, when you are going to leave no marks behind it?
A friend of mine has once said that if you are not remembered after you pass away, you never existed.
This is very true. Out of all the population that have lived today, not even a percentage of it are remembered or recorded in papers.
Most of us, therefore, are forgotten.
Our population today is 5% of the total population that have lived until this date.
How many of us will be remembered by our future children and future generations?
And if remembered, what will be remembered by those people?
Our names? Our belongings such as wealth and properties?
I want to say that some of us are trapped in the dilemma of thinking about this bothering question: why live.
But I want to tell many of you that we are here to do great things.
Not many of us believe in God/s or other things. But remember that you are here, breathing and doing what your brain and instinct tells you to do. You live because there is a reason. T

A World of ColorIf I could fall so deep
within my sleep,
I'd dream of fantasies
where all is bright,
even through the night
with colors of neon green.
And under the emerald sky
that lingers high,
I'd dip into the blue
where mermaids sway
and little fishes play
until the break of noon.
Then in the fields
where red fruits yield,
I'd climb the golden trees
and feel all the love
of heaven above
as I fly into the breeze.
Then later on
when it reaches dawn,
I'd dance under the sun
that gently beams
and shines upon my dreams
and moves me forever on.

Save MeI am lost deep within
Cannot find my way out
Silently crying in despair
I can hear only echoes
Of my unheard pleads

My voice is slowly fading
This sore throat failing me
Eyes cannot see through
Where did the light go

I feel my blood pouring
Running down my body
As I tremble weakly
Pain is holding me awake

They left me all alone
Trapped me down here
In the bitter cold
Freezing ice under me
It's slowly...
Making me numb

Save me
I'm dying

Save me with your love

Art is like CuttingArt is like cutting.

It takes a lot of
Emotion and Motivation
To do it and it makes
You feel alive.

Both can become a hobby, yet,
Both are challenging.

Until they turn into a feeling
And you just do them automatically
To Feel Something.

Till they don't hurt you anymore,
And you do them out of passion.

Scars might fade,
But art saves.

World's virtuesLet me go
I feel abused
Disowned
Misused
Like an illusion
A part of a dream
A toy from your collection
In a wicked playground

It's time to part
Go away
Grow up and leave your toys
Here in this place
You're not a disgrace, young man
In your face I see perfection
You just did what had to be done
And if things went wrong
Well, that's how it was meant to be all along
Just go your way

Tell me now
What have you done
You stand stronger now
You see further up
The dreams you have take you higher
Grow wings, young man
Don't be afraid to be a boy
The one who made me feel abused
Disowned
Misused
And made an illusion out of me
Pursue your dreams, young

Inspirational loveI have nothing to write about
I'm all written out
No emotions left to feel
No goal to fulfill
There is just emptiness inside
Should I write about that?

My mind is wondering
My muse is asleep
Memories still lingering
And I want them to keep

But still, I'm lack of the words
Lack of ideas and decent thoughts
Emotions are frozen in the stillness
It's not right, it feels like an illness

My lovely ghost will you show up?
Will you give that feeling to write about?
Give me that sensation of being alive
Just a moment to see you in front of my eyes

I'll be waiting for my ghost to come back
My muse, my inspiration, everything I lack

Only Eyes Can TellBehind your eyes
Are all the lies
The screams and the cries
The lows and the highs

I see the pain
Hiding behind the baby blue
You think you're insane
And that nobody has a clue

Your eyes are transparent
I can see inside your head
That you think there's something inherent
Wrong; so you think you should be dead

You're eyes once so vibrant
are now dull and gray
you wanna smile but you can't
you wanna go, but you have to stay

You're scared of what's ahead
but you're sick of what's behind
You wish you could be dead
but you already are in your mind

Nothing matters
as your world shatters
piece by piece
life will cease

Oh Dear TedOh dear ted
Why did you leave me
I can't believe your dead
It all happened so fast

The day I met you
I trusted you from the start
But I didn't see in you
What you saw in me

One second I didn't know you
The next you were intimate
Your love was unlike no other
Even though it was conditional

You meant to me
The world
You were my life
You took over my soul

Still your in my thoughts
Day and night, inbetween
I loved you like a father
And not as a lover

Yet…………

After your death
I felt as though
I lost my father
And, strangely, the man of my dreams

I loved you
Although mixed in which way
The one so sad

ObsessionI've become what I hate
and that, will decide my fate
but I am who I am
and nobody gives a damn
in reality it's all misconception
so this is my question
and I will instigate
until I create
a logical reason
for such a dark season
but if only I could describe
the point in being alive
"life's not fair''
or so they declare
repeatedly I stare
at this ghastly nightmare
this entity I call life
this thing rife, with strife

Nothing to loseIn the midst of it all
In the pandemonium I fall
I stumble and I crawl
I'm beaten and I'm raw

Crawling around
Eyes wide shut
Groping the ground
Wrists bloody and cut

My head's spinning round and round
Feels like I've been drowned
Dead on the inside
All my tears left, cried

I don't know myself anymore
I'm broken down to my core
Nothing left to give
No reason to live

There's nowhere to go but up
There's nothing left to do
But fill my empty cup
This I know is true

There's nothing to lose
When you're already dead
There's no point in going backwards
When you can always move ahead

Throw away the old
And pick up the new
Tu

NewAs the butterfly flutters in the rain
we look at our lives and the pain
like a stake shoved into our hearts
waiting for the blood to stop and the healing to start

a brand new day comes about
the sun is out and the birds shout
a new beginning for those who are unsure
and new life for those once impure

for all who seek, they will find
hope for their day, and peace for their mind
just trust in Him, and he'll let you see
all that's in store, for your eternity.

My tragic deathThe walls are closing in
The pendulum sways in sin
It's difficult to inhale
My body goes numb, my skin, pale

My body sweats profusely
My faith lynched loosely
My mind whirls to the second hand
My heart's pounding, an all drum band

There are people loitering
On my life, there's bartering
I shriek, but no one is listening
The blade swipes my stomach, blood and innards glistening

And this is the story of my tragic death
How no one would save me from my last breath
Not in the body, but in the mind
It's interesting how the mind, may wind

Human Nature

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

We're born
We die
We're torn
We cry

A door opens wide
A door closes shut
Opportunities slide
We don't make the cut

We stumble
We crawl
We're humble
We fall

We fear
We overcome
We steer
We succumb

We crave
We let go
We save
We owe

We take care
We forget
We stare
We've met

All in all
We're children of the earth
We rise and we fall
Beginning at birth

so true!!!

Wow, I love this poem. It's breathtaking and has stunning wording, I like the message and meaning that is conveys.

*TaintedRose8156 Jan 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you!! I come from the belief that we are all the same, just in different ways. We all experience the same emotions, but our stories are different.

~Tameless-Love Jan 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I think that you have an amazing way with words, I personally feel that you're extremely talented, and I hope that you'll continue on with writing, especially pieces that inspire and help others, as I'm sure you could do a stunning and inspiring job. I usually just skim through the writings of people here, and in general, but nothing really catches my eye or holds any emotion. . but yours does. I really enjoy your writings, and hope that you'll post more soon.
