This One's for the Emokids
You ask me what I see, what your poetry means to me
You're feeding me clichés that lack no stretch of imagination to see
The clarity of words doesn't show your quickness of mind
And don't think it's poetry cos your last 2 words rhymed
You want to know what truth i read between your lines?
Words of pain, of anguish that pace up and down behind those imprisoned eyes
A prison built of words of fanciful romance and self inflicted grief
And rampant fear of the truth to your imaginary self belief
An age and time of youth so easily self deceived
By anguish, pain and love so wittily constructed or so it's perceived
It lacks honesty and
God's grandeur as such, let not be touched,
Lest man's hand taint. For man doth walk far
And devoutly off the narrow path. Thusly
man doth seek. Already man hast many
Glories discovered and sullied.
Such are the ashes of gold that shine,
Pouring with blood for its vanity.
Thirsty men of science
Give no concession of Thee
And wills Thou defeat
For faith of self alone
Become'st man a god.
A god in man's eyes alone, not more.
Thus commit I to God of All.
Hope today the sky is raining
Raindrops on the window pane
Cos today I'll see another
Broken heart singing its pain
Hope today the clouds are hanging
over me so I'll have shade
Cos I need to be alone to
Make it through this empty day
Hope today will just be over
When the sun will end the day
Cos night'll come and so will dreams
And make this world go away
But now that this day has started
Maybe it's a happy day
The sun is shining through this broken
dusty faded window pane
Quietly,
Listening
Because I don't know what to say
Before you'll look at me
Differently
You'll smile at me
But I know that smile's not just for me
Because she'll show that smile
To everyone she'll meet
indiscriminately
Why
Does she turn
And do what she knows
Won't
Last
God
Help
Her
Help
Me
There's a place that I know,
It's a stone's throw away,
It's a place I go to for some quiet.
Though it's peaceful for sure,
There are voices that call,
Cos the world keeps on dragging me home.
Still I drift in silence. [x3]
It watches the clock,
And it calls to it's slave,
And that slave stares on through the mirror.
There are forks, there are spades,
There are diggers of graves,
There're people falling into the River
Still I drift in silence. [x3]
Cos the voices that call,
If they're right, we're not sure,
But we know that we have to set sail.
We could drown, we could stall,
We may never see the shore,
But it's worth it if
Come, let us go to the fair,
Joy and wonders to behold.
Games to be played? None we'll spare,
But now it stands, rusted, old.
Come, let us go to the park,
Fun and laughter to be had.
Swings! See-saws! We'll play till dark,
BUt now they stand, forlorn, sad.
Mother and Father have not returned,
Does not matter, outside we shall head.
Rain brought joy with which our faces shone,
But now it semes the rain is gone instead.
Such fun we had, a time once upon,
Though fun and games are now lost and gone...
Lack.
Of Something,
Some sort of fulfillment
That doth give life
Meaning, joy and purpose perhaps?
What is it?
Scouring mind and with what?
Experience I have.
DO I?
I need more,
I have not had enough to know
What I search for
Is lost.
Lost?
LOST!?
Lost I ask,
I do not know.
How can I lose what has not yet been found?
NO! It cannot be such that it is lost,
But then what such a THING be
though I do so wait and search?
Search.
Yes, search and wait
And perhaps I might find it...
But mine search does seem so long
Perhaps you will search with me...
I do so wish for company
Just keep running
Dont look back
I have to get away I cant take it anymore.
I can barely move without them knowing.
Theyve been watching me my whole life.
Ive had my freedom taken.
Theyve forced me to do things,
Things that were against my will.
And they may not have even realised it.
If I dont get away Im gonna freak out.
Keep running
Dont slow stop
I have to get away.
They imprisoned me.
The walls that surround me,
Though covered with drapes and carpets,
Pillows and covers suffocate me now.
A sense of security
For the lack of freedom,
I need some space for myself

I lay in my bed. It was getting dark. I stared at the upward and watched the different hues of blue and white spill onto the ceiling. I had been bored the entire day. I didnt really know how much time had passed since I started playing music off the computer. I guessed it had been at least half an hour. I had listened to at least seven songs.
As I watched the ceiling show display its mood swings, I let my mind wander This always seemed to start thinking when I was bored Especially while I listened to music

Orchestral Suite no3, 2 Air
We had arrived somewhat late. The ceremony was about to start. I walked silently along the corridor with my family. We entered the hushed room and seated ourselves in the last row of the hard wooden pews. I shut my eyes and listened to the chimes and miniature cymbals which were in harmony with the chanting. I caught the faint scent of incense, a smell both familiar and unsettling.
The ritualistic melody flowed on as the words were lost upon me, a wellspring of wisdom gone to waste. It stopped abruptly. I looked up and estimated an attendance of 30 people, who were all facing the front of the room. I followed their gazes and came upon

So I was thinking about something someone told me once not that long ago, we were standing together and the sun was shining through the clouds and making beams of light shine down on the city below us. I said it was pretty, he said it was little pieces of heaven shining through to show us hope for when we loose it. At this statement I laughed bitterly and said I dont believe in heaven. That was a few months ago, and I havent seen that boy since then, and I doubt Ill ever see him again, but Id like to think we will always be friends, even if he has already forgotten. He also told me everyone was made of a color, and it
Suffocating
"Tell me now, where do we go?"
On the verge of tears, my breathing quickens as something hits me.
Like something is covering my heart, slowly suffocating it.
I'll die of asphyxiation as I fear that I can not breathe.
I panic. Panic attack.
If what I dream had come true, would I always feel like this?
You'd get away with murder though, because you would never know how addicted I am.
Addicted to disaster.
Addicted to rejection.
Addicted to dreaming.
Addicted to you.
I can't fight it.
No more winning.
Just thinking and falling. Spiralling down as my breath returns to me and fills my lungs once more.
It's bittersweet an

Her life.
is white.
There is no 'go here'.
'go there'. 'this is your problem'.
Her hair is spread out like pumpkin butter.
Her skin is radiantly. white.
Her eyes are purple. But you can't really tell.
The city bustle ignores her because she ignores it
They're not enemies
They just know who they are.
Hanna has trust.
No many people do.
She has trust in herself.
That she needs no one.

It is white.
Hanna prays for a non- photographic life.
I wish I had some faith
It is a beautiful word
I open it up, and in it- I see a road
Wet with rain
With no markings on it
And on each side of the road is color
A greyscaled color
But the grey is not sorrow
The grey is not pain
The grey is faith
The faith hovers the land
It sweeps in the crevices
It blows out our breath
It does not fear what it is
It does not worry what tomorrow will bring
The faith is peace and prosperous
And no town is near the road
And no people live in the town that is not there
The faith is alone
Without an inhabitant for eternity
It flows and watches the land
And knows every blades name

The supposed rocking horse of enigmatic dogma confined within the conditions of society doth cause upon much death and destruction a euphoric anticipation of further extensions of humans in which the conditions so proposed and assumed are then released beyond the bounds of finality and restriction. It is this euphoria and and anticipaton of release of its finality of obviousness that does so draw upon enacting... Never should be forgotten is the joy found within restriction and conditioning, that furthering and breaking of the existence allows a freedom due to the restriction and conditioning of the individual however so expression may be pu
