Man, looking at Alto's poems reminded me that I had wrote some poetry and saved them on my computer... Leave it to the internet to make me forget I had them.
So, here's some of my poems. This first one is kind of an incomplete poem, kinda made for a song.
...And The Weak Shall Inherit The Earth
We're here in town square,
See the fountain, here before you.
Drop in a quarter and make a wish.
And do what you have to do.
'Cause we're not going to be here,
Yeah, we're all going to be empty space.
No one in this little town,
Even notices we're here anyway.
Nothing in here ever seems right.
Like life lived under a microscope.
Pressed underneath the sheet of glass,
Choking, suffocating, without hope.
And the weak shall inherit the earth
While the men in their ivory houses fall
We, the downtrodden have had enough
The weak shall be taking it all
This next one is the first one I wrote on my WordPad. This one was also made for a song.
A Grim Fairy Tale
Not for you, not for me
Nothing is the way it has to be
All the time you wanted to be free
Is the kind of fate I had to see
All the hours spent
Working towards your own ends
And here I am, broken and bent
And to think I thought you were heaven-sent
Here is my life in an open book
The endless time of mine that you took
All of my desires are now for naught
And I thought that I was the one you sought
Endings of these stories go
'Happily Ever After', but no
This heart of mine I had to show
And you took it away, I feel so low
The lies I always heard you say
You think everything has to go your way
You think that I'd ask you to stay?
Keep talking like that, I just may
Kill you, this time...
In this heart of mine...
Kill you, this time...
In this heart of mine.
And here's the last one for the post. This one's free form.
Depression Jig
I struggle in your arms,
waiting for release
Things never seemed so dim
until I ran into you.
Another line drawn into the sand
Another line on the mirror
Cut into shape by a razor blade
That was my biggest fear.
This time, I will not forget
everyday seems to be made into the same
And the more things I did I regret,
Makes it harder to escape
My soul feels ill
I think I'm dying.
Or maybe that's just
Whenever I'm around you.
So take your pills and your drugs
Maybe you'll wither and die
And leave me to be taken away.
It's you I now defy.
What'chall think?
