Need. Is it love or lust That keeps us going from day to day.... In a world that's so completely centered Around the stereotypical lust for money, Material possessions and a wrecked society, Has there ever been such a thing as love, Pure, innocent love. WHo are we to say That we are in love, who are we to know what love is. How can a world with so much animosity, Be capable of such naivety, such hope. We have long grown up without a chance in life, And try as we might, it's hard to change destiny. So how could you ever know How much I feel for you. I'll never be That girl you've written about, the one you love so much. I

Literature

Smile Down

Smile down on me Once more Make these tears and all those years Slowly melt away You're gone, Yet part of you Still lingers here For those willing to hear, You say, "Don't cry." This power And that love Which will never fade Have made These years bearable. That smile, That hug, that simple question "How are you," I knew That someone cared. Now, I know that THough you're not here You still care And you'll always be there For those who need you. We love you Adam

We Walk By Faith, Not by Sight

“We walk by faith, not by sight….” When I was on my way to Mo Ranch two summers ago, I had no idea what was in store for me. I was unaware of the fact that four days at Mo could completely revolutionize my life in so many ways, but it did. Every year since, my year has revolved around the day when I would arrive there, because each time, I knew that I was going to learn something that would help me become a better person. This year’s verse, 2nd Corinthians 5:7, “We walk by faith, not by sight” struck me as being especially strong. Our Keynote speaker compared this verse to being a trapeze artis

Stony Hearts, Steady Hands by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Stony Hearts, Steady Hands

Stony hearts Steady hands Expressionless A blank face Managed to wipe out Part of the human race What of those Who died Was this random? Were they targets combined? Those of us Who remain Share the burden Recognize the pain Shall we say That we should forget We won't lose sight of it The survivors will not let This image leave Their closed eyes Every night when they sleep They'll see them die And when all is said and done Some books will come out It'll become a statistic We'll forget what this was about Like 9/11, We're supposed to forget Move on, let it live.... Wanna bet? We cannot let These things go We'

My Friend by musicjesuslife, literature

Grace by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Grace

With the elegant delicacy of a newborn angel, she began to dance. No music could be heard for miles around. She was dancing to the beauty of life. Her ivory limbs gently waved in the wind as she twirled around the meadow, her long ebony hair trailing behind her. Joy radiated all around her. She was on top of the world, swaying gently to the music as the grass delicately brushed her feet. Nothing was about to bring her down. This was her passion, her love and her only life. Today was clearly her day and hers alone. Nobody could touch her. All she could do was dance, emitting brilliant rays of happiness over all who saw her.

Invisible to You by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Invisible to You

I'm standing here Against the brick wall You look right at me But you don't see me at all. You see a smile again Not the dashed hopes or fears You can see only my face Not my dreams or inward tears. I shouldn't feel this Why should I care But I do care because When I look around, no one's there. I need you here Close beside me Without you I'm dying Can't you see? Without you, I'm broken I miss you even more I miss the way it was All that we had before. I'm bleeding here All on my own Yolu cut me too deep Straight to the bone.

Words of a Wise Woman by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Words of a Wise Woman

A wise woman once said That all things good must end That all of us bleed red That hatred is a wound to which we must tend Don't you see we're all the same? Where one lives, why does another die? Why must we discriminate by color or name Is our world supported by just one big lie? Listen to her words once more Is this the purpose for which we life What are we really waiting for? Have we given life all we can give? What would happen If we all tried to get along Would our society weaken If we went without hate for too long? Would the world come to an end If we all stopped hating for a while If we all took some time to bend

Savior by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Savior

The chains of humanity are great. They keep us from being as eagles, rising up and taking our place in the sky. Take me away from all this. Let me flourish in your eyes, and hold me closely, dearly, in your heart. Give me nothing more than happiness to lift this burden on my mind. Give me again a new life, pure and whole. Love me for who I am, not who I seem to be like. But do you know the difference? Woe is me.

Leave Me by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Leave Me

Leave me behind But don't ask me to cry I'm past that stage Tears will never again flow Here I sit, brokenhearted No one knows What I feel, what I hear, Or even what I dream I'd have begged you to stay, I loved you so much But you hurt me too badly It'll never come back Leave me be, Get out of my head, You don't belong with me Never again I never want to hear Your voice repeating the words THe one's you never said to my face... Just those three simple words. Leave me alone I didn't ask for this to happen I never saw it coming But it still came. So I'll just buck up, Forget about you And lose myself Lose myself

Left to Die by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Left to Die

Rip out my heart Hide me away Watch me crumble Hear me cry You broke me Took my life away Nothing left to do Except to fly Fly away home Go away to heal Spread your wings Lift off to the sky Up in the air Where are you headed? Away from here Slowly floating by Left for nothing Meant to disappear Filled with despair At his lie Why can't you see My suffering here Tears streamed down Face now dry Its ovwer now Nothing left to do Let me lay here Left to die.

Dancing in the Rain by musicjesuslife, literature

Literature

Dancing in the Rain

Watch the wind blow Listen to the leaves flowing Around your graceful feet. Dance in the rain Bask in the sun Call to the birds in the trees Hold me close Where we stand Where nothing can go wrong Atop our hill We'll watch the sunset Never look away Rise up with The sun, the moon, the stars You, you are brighter than them all Beautiful one, Be my safest place Keep me till the morrow

Can You? by XKurohyouX, literature

The Hood by worldpeas356, literature

Literature

The Hood

He came to class everyday, shrugging past the cliques and laughing crowds. He didn't care what people thought. How they thought he was a hopeless sack under the pulled-high hoodies. How they thought he was past being helped. How some were tempted to show compassion, but fell back as they thought about their reputation. How this left them with guilt and unsureness. He did not care. In fact, he wished for it, cringing when someone made an attempt to get to know him. He pushed them away, letting himself wallow in his own sadness. Afraid of being uncovered. And people stayed away, but still watched, watched, as he threw then undesirous

until i see you by brokenheart4ever, literature

Literature

until i see you

Everything is ok, until I see you. Then it all comes back to me. The love we shared. The long hugs. Now I'm stuck with a broken heart. I don't know why I still care. We were so perfect together. I think I am going to be ok, Until I see you. You swore you loved me. You to this day say you still do. But I feel you are lying. I'm dying when I see you with her. My heart explodes in to pieces. I swear I am ok, until I see you. I see you and my heart drops. My smile fades away. She gives me the evil eye. When it's you following me. I can't sand her. I remember when it was me you wanted. You wanted me to hold. Now it's her. E

If only-Dreaming by PerilousPenguin, literature

Literature

If only-Dreaming

Dreaming of a deeper sleep, And two slow-beating hearts Of drifting shadows, long and deep, And singers on their parts A chorus chants, The evening flows, And safe from earthly harms Another soul finds comfort, In warm and caring arms. And though "If only" never won me any wars, Nor any prizes or awards, It never stopped a cracking heart from breaking, No, never kept the chipping paint from flaking. And on the tattered canvas of my soul A hole is showing where it stole My life away And who can say If ever I'll be whole. For I may never sleep again Or smile the same, But I will always see your eyes When I close mine And i

A reason to start over new

0 min read

It's been so long since I've been on here. I haven't written anything in so long. I'm proud of who I am now. I've grown so much stronger and better. I'm not weak like I used to be. Things are going to be different now. I'm not the same person I was when I wrote all of the other stuff. My writing, when I get back to it, will be stronger and less pathetic before. I'm starting over on here. I've found my reasons. What are yours?

why does this crap always happen to me??

0 min read

So, it seems that I have once again fallen for some random guy with whom I have absolutely no chance in the world. I really don't understand how this keeps happening to me, but it does. Throughout the past four weeks, I've made some really great friends! I've learned to open up a lot, and let loose, enjoy myself around other people. I've had a ton of fun, and once again, fallen for a guy who will never give me the time of day. Mac is pretty freaking amazing. He's smart, funny, easy to be around, and all those other cliche things that all girls secretly want in a boy. (nice, etc.) He's also a really strong Christian, which is pretty importan

Stereotypes

0 min read

so, I was on facebook, and I read some really amazing poetry written by a friend who has been through a lot, and has come through it.  It made me realize several things..  first of all, my poetry needs some work, and secondly, I've honestly had it pretty good in life.....   even though it doesn't feel like it..  I'm gonna try and write some poetry that's not so stereotypical.....  who's with me?!

ur welcome.. i like your quote

Thnx for the watch

Thank for the favorite. Your poetry is interesting; it has good essence. I wish there was a little more articulation, some more clues about the nuance of it, but it seems solid in its concept and execution.

Keep writing and all that. Thanks again.

I think its absolutely hilarious the way you can be perfectly happy one minute, and the next, a flood of past emotion and memory comes at you, and you are suddenly drowning in a world of pain.
