Dunno if there's a topic for this or not, but if you write any poetry or songs, post them here. Here's some of my work. It's not very good, but still. <_<

Death Note

Another year older; one more close to death
As the time ticks on I'm brought closer to my last breath
Pain starts to numb; my ears go deaf
The older I get, it seems the less is left

What is it that makes reality so true?
Is it the pain stained in us like a tattoo?
Or the limits of age that we persue
Maybe it's the moments that force us to break through

To wish to die is a wrongness never right
To wake up every day fearing the sun's light
While you try to pry yourself away with all your might
But then you just fade back into a day of night

So why do it; why live a life you don't want?
Or even spend that life bragging; to vaunt
Maybe so your death won't torture and haunt
Just leave your suicide note in an invisible font

Broken

I always pray that tomorrow is better than today
That somehow this pain can be taken away

Pouring alcohol in a cup; feeding my depression
Swallow it up; just another drinking session

The tears keep falling, but no one can see it
Masked by deceit; the smile can't beat it

Everything's alright; on the outside, yes
But on the inside; only a broken mess

Watch the lips of the one you love touch another
Hold the pain inside; don't tell one other

You just want her to feel as happy as can be
Even if it means you're shattered beyond belief

You just hold it inside; nobody needs to dry your tears
But it begins to pile up after so many years

You can't take it; too many tears, too much pain
Every single breath you breathe; you feel more insane

The breathing gets so hard that you begin to suffer and choke
Every gust of wind feels like it's your final stroke

You want happiness to be the main part of her life
But what is there to do when all you're feeling is strife?

It's like you're trapped between what you want and what you need
You want the smile on her face, yet you need to be freed

What is there to do; how can you make it right?
You can't find an answer; you're running out of might

The pain just goes deeper as you try to hold it in
It won't hold anymore; it's bursting through your skin

It's gone all the way; you've suffered the biggest cost
Now you're left a broken man, with all of your love lost

Beautiful Remix

Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has their private World
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me?
I'm reaching out for you

So many people put one another down
Wasting all their time just to make another frown
Saying bullshit just to take away their pride
But we can't stand down; we can never divide
Align ourselves, with our backs to the wall
They can never take us down; we will never fall
If you fall, get back up, don't crawl
No matter what, you must always stand tall
Always on the ball; every shot, you call
You can never let anybody make you feel small
Beauty is skin deep; hate just generates hate
Ignore all that shit; just continue your own fate
Don't let them rush you; just go by your own rate
Don't slip off the ball; go all the way through straight
And when it comes time; bust down through the gate
Don't get pulled down to their level
Stay away; don't get consumed by the devil
Be your own person; don't try to be fake
They'll tear you down, but you can never break
The only voice you gotta listen to is your own
Fuck the bullshit, whenever they bitch and moan
Stay in your own zone; be grown, don't be a clone
When they put you down, just trust you're not alone
You can be so much better than them
Shine so bright, cuz you know you're a gem
Eminem said just stay true to you
Stick to your heart like you're covered in glue
Do what you need to, just to shine through
It's your time to put your mind in view
You're beautiful; just make sure that you know too

Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked; just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked; just stay true to you

My Prayer

Verse 1:
I know I haven't talked to you in so very long
And every time we speak, it's always the same song
I know I don't deserve to have my voice heard
But this isn't about me lord, it's about her
Even after we split up, I still care so much
Thinking so often about her angelic touch
I haven't asked you for many things at all
Please keep her up lord, never let her fall

Bridge:
Dear Lord, I'm on my knees calling you
I need your help, there's no one else to turn to
Please give her a man that's so much better than me
She deserves so much more than what I could ever be
Will you give her my happiness and give me her pain?
Will you give her sunshine, and wash her tears in the rain?
Everyday that she cries bring a smile to her face
Give her a man that can make her heart race

Hook:
Oh lord, please answer my prayer
Try to understand just how much I care
Life without her is like life without air
But as long as she's happy, I just don't care
So please will you answer my prayer?

Verse 2:
I never felt this way before in my life
The pain of losing her was like the might of a knife
Yet still, I can't help but want the best for her
She's a blessing, perfection's what she deserves
Give me all the misery if she can have the bliss
Put her on cloud nine everytime she gets a kiss
Give her a man who will pick her up, whenever she's fallen down
A man who will never let her face be ruined by a frown

Bridge:
Dear Lord, I'm on my knees calling you
I need your help, there's no one else to turn to
Please give her a man that's so much better than me
She deserves so much more than what I could ever be
Will you give her my happiness and give me her pain?
Will you give her sunshine, and wash her tears in the rain?
Everyday that she cries bring a smile to her face
Give her a man that can make her heart race

Hook:
Oh lord, please answer my prayer
Try to understand just how much I care
Life without her is like life without air
But as long as she's happy, I just don't care
So please will you answer my prayer?

Insanity

Thoughts linger in my mind
Insanity reclined
Blood flying faster than bullets
Then play it back; rewind
Stuck in another time
Caught up in all the crime
When brains leak from heads
And souls are filled with grime
A psycho; one of a kind
A heart in his chest; so hard to find
Only thing he leaves behind
Are the bodies with chalk outlines
With the blade that's touched so many souls
Shoved deep in his spine
How dare you try to say that everything is fine?
With posters in his room
Of the body's inside designs
He sees no problem with body parts mangled up
A killer in the mind; drinking blood from a cup
Put the knife to the vein; get sliced and get cut
Take the insides to the outside
Like cracking open a nut
How many seconds can you live without your head?
Better yet; what's on your mind when all you're seeing is red?
The bloodshed covers your bed
He picks up his knife and fork
Time to get fed
Let the blood leak from your head
Savor the taste of being dead
Cannibalistic; a killer with a hunger for life
Or even more, a hunger for others alike
He'll gut you alive
A forceful strike from an over-sharpened spike
With a red liquid leaking on the floor
So many people left tortured and sore
His mind verse the World
The most devastating war
Try to lock yourself away; be free
Don't flee
Cuz he'll hunt you down
No matter how much you plea
Beg for your life
But you'll never be free to see
The future ahead of you
Whatever will you do?
Whenever he's after you it's over
Get ready for your final view
Get ready for your blood to spew
And get ready to do
What you need to
Before your life is through

Give A Little Love Remix

Verse 1:
Trying to figure out where it is that he went.
I don't think he left with pain as his intent.
But still it hurts so bad; emotional torment.
Maybe to this day he feels a sense to resent.
Or at least a sense of guilt to a certain extent.
So hard to make it like I'm covered in cement.
But when lonliness covers the majority percent,
My dad left me; an unfixable dent.

Hook:
I see a light around the corner.
I see a war that ain't over, yeah.
So much life that's unpretty,
But so much beauty you just can't miss.
If you give a little love for every father that walked out,
There's a daddy that loves his child.
Though it seems there's no way out,
But life turns out right if you give a little love.

Verse 2:
I know many others are fatherless throughout time.
It causes many men to live lifes full of crime.
Lives in the gutter; lives full of grime.
Feeling like every step is impossible to climb.
How could he do this to me? Tear me down in my prime.
Not ready for the World; grow up without a dime.
Going around smilin' like everything is fine.
I don't know what to do; I'm on my last life line.

Hook:
I see a light around the corner.
I see a war that ain't over, yeah.
So much life that's unpretty,
But so much beauty you just can't miss.
If you give a little love for every father that walked out,
There's a daddy that loves his child.
Though it seems there's no way out,
But life turns out right if you give a little love.

Verse 3:
I always wonder how my life would be if he was here.
I grew up a screw up every year after year.
If he would've stayed, maybe it could've halted every tear.
Kept my pride up every time I started feeling fear.
One thing I wonder; one thing is still unclear.
Is it my fault? Am I the reason he isn't near?
I pray every night keepin' the hope that God'll hear.
Still lay quiet like the whispers in my ear.

Hook:
I see a light around the corner.
I see a war that ain't over, yeah.
So much life that's unpretty,
But so much beauty you just can't miss.
If you give a little love for every father that walked out,
There's a daddy that loves his child.
Though it seems there's no way out,
But life turns out right if you give a little love.

Angel Remix

Hook:
Girl, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Verse 1:
As dusk turns to dawn and day turns to night,
You're on my mind like it's your spotlight
I never believed in love at first sight,
Until I met you; you took me to new heights
Up on cloud 9; enjoying the new flights
Floating in the air; making me feel light
You could be the princess; I could be the knight
Or I could be the prince; let you handle Snow White

Hook:
Girl, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Verse 2:
You're my best friend; the love of my life
My future wife; with you there's no strife
You make me feel things I've never felt
Just talking to you could make my heart melt
I can't say it doesn't hurt to know you're not mine
Thinking about you with him hurts my soul and mind
But don't worry about me; I'mma be fine
All I need is my bestie; just watchin' her shine

Hook:
Girl, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Verse 3:
I doubt you realize just how much I love you
All the stuff you say, and all the stuff you do
You're my angel; I'm stuck to you like glue
I love you with all of my heart; that much is true
I need you; whether as a friend or more
When I speak to you my heart hits the floor
You're the only one that I adore
I love you so much; forever you'll be mi amor

Hook:
Girl, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel; you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Novocaine Remix

It's like a needle in the vein,
What I sustain to stay sane
Or the red stain pouring like rain
The pain to the head so immense; migraine
But what do I gain?
Flight miles with no need for a plane
Bloodshot eyes with a relaxed brain
They make me refrain from what's inhumane
The Mary Jane and the Cocaine
Send me cruising through an abnormal mental lane
A fake reality for me to feign
Popping champagne as the bottle begins to drain
Sun fades to moon and moon fades to sun
No clue where I am while I'm on the floor lying
Dealers on the corner; all work no fun
Gotta get money cuz I feel like buying
The pain goes away like a life with a gun
Struggle goes away; no longer trying
Convulsing on the floor like an immense stun
Put the lighter up and just keep frying
Injections keep going; one after one
No longer feel like crying
Cuz only when the drugs are done,
Do I feel like dying

I got a stone heart, in my chest
And I can't feel no pain
I'll never love another woman
It's just me and my money
I think I took a shot in the vein
Like Novacaine
Novacaine
Novacaine
Novacaine
Like Novacaine

Unnamed Poem

What's to be done when life is but a mess?
Things go so wrong; happiness turns to stress.

Depression isn't a mood, it becomes a lifestyle.
What was once great is no longer worthwhile.

You need an escape; some way to be set free.
But the only way out is buried under a tree.

Suicide; what could drive a man to go there?
When tears drop and no one answers your prayer.

A missing father, a love lost, a tortured life.
No matter what you do, you're brought back to the knife.

Nothing goes right, no matter what you try to do.
It's just a fading existence dropped in value.

You searched for an answer; a way to make it right.
But there's just emptiness and a fading light.

The liquor numbs you, but only for a short while.
A night of happiness then a morning so vile.

Your wrist is slit; your focus begins to shift.
But then the pain's back like that; so swift.

Happiness dodges you no matter what you try.
You cry, then ask the lord why.

You get no answer, just silence all night.
Anger, depression and confusion unite.

You don't know what to do; how to make it end.
You don't wanna bother, so you can't go to a friend.

You've tried all you can so where do you go now?
Look in the mirror; cock the gun; say ciao.

Friends and family cry as your funeral reaches its end.
Your torture is now over; your soul may finally mend.

I Wanna Be

I wanna be Heaven when you're up in the clouds
I wanna be surrounding you like many crowds
I wanna be the smoke as it enshrouds
I wanna be your voice; soft or loud

I wanna walk the aisle on your wedding day
I wanna be all of the words you say
I wanna be the silly little way you play
I wanna be your ocean, sea and bay

I wanna be the star shining on your face
I wanna be with you no matter the place
I wanna be your hands when you say your grace
I wanna be the one who gives you the chase

I wanna be the light shining in your glow
I wanna be your fingers and your toes
I wanna be your speed whether fast or slow
I wanna be the high to counteract your low

I wanna be everything you love in your life
I wanna be the man calling you my wife
I wanna be the blade on the end of your knife
I wanna be your happiness and end your strife

I wanna be your mouth curved into a smile
I wanna make every single moment worthwhile
I wanna walk your path; mile after mile
I wanna be your essence; your style

I wanna be the enjoyment when you have fun
I wanna forever be your number one
I wanna be your stars, moon and sun
I wanna be the bullets inside your gun

I wanna be whatever you love to do
I wanna be a love so honest and true
I wanna be everything that you view
I just wanna be anything close to you

Story Of A Man

A wise man once said attention is expensive
But it costs to leave your heart broke
Others say that life is such a blesson
But are they really alive; have they truly awoke?
We live to die; a cycle never ending
We hurt and cry; happiness always bending
We can cover the pain but only imagine the mending
And in the end it all comes together, blending
Sure there's happiness and times filled with glee
But it doesn't matter; our life is just a fee
I wanna share a story about a young man
His life isn't the worst but it's not a good plan
His daddy left him; no father in his life
He can't help but blame himself; did he cause his dad's strife?
Then there's this girl; he's known her for a long time
She's an angel to him; beauty in its true prime
She says that she loves him; he says that he loves her back
But the love is different; neither on the same track
Her love is like family, his love is full heart
They haven't seen each other in a while so he falls apart
If only she knew just how he felt from the start
And how her eyes to him are such beauty; such art
As if without those eyes life just doesn't mean a thing
She's the wind; how can he fly without her beneath his wing?
But what's in his heart just doesn't seem to matter
He can't tell her anyway so he just lets the thoughts shatter
She truly is a dime a dozen; one of a kind
So why be with him when there's so much better she could find?
These thoughts combine with others; his head starts to hurt
On the outside he's untouched, uncut; no blood leaking from his shirt
But its like his insides are buried alive; laying deep beneath the dirt
As calm as he remains daily his soul is on red alert.
His future is in doubt; why continue what he hates?
We all die someday, we might as well make our own fates
But at the same time, he can't leave behind all the ones he loves
But he just wants freedom; to fly away from this hell like doves
He questions what to do despite knowing he can't answer it
He can't go back to self-harm; how long can he hide a wrist, slit?
It just seems like sometimes he's his one and only friend
He feels so lonely; unnoticed; never to be a trend
So many emotions are in his mind; all start to blend
I guess he'll just have to stick it out until the end

One of these days I am gonna sit down, read between the lines and decypher the hidden message in these poems! Because I used to be good at that shit Razz

Like I said on twitter, good stuff there. Smile

By the way, are those songs supposed to be raps? Cos I totally rapped them in my head LOL Also, we're all our own worst critics. As long as we enjoy writing and/or use it like therapy, that's all that matters.

And as promised to share, here's something I wrote/recorded a few years ago. ...I forgot what the chords are now though. :/

The Storm
The wind’s picking up again
So hold onto your little skirt
Pin up your pretty hair
And cover your eyes

The storm’s not friendly
But it will leave you in peace
If you listen to what it says
Hear what it tells you

Ooh...

Don’t be afraid, oh little girl
I promise you’ll be okay
Just follow my voice
Hope it guides you

Do you see the dark skies
Look up, it’s all around now
They won’t capture and trap you
They only make a noise

Ooh...

It’s alright, little girl
Light is streaming on your head
Open up your eyes
Go ahead and smell the flowers

Do you see what happened here
The storm has passed on
This world doesn’t seem so bad
Seem so bad after all

Some of them are meant to be rapped, such as Insanity and Novocaine.

I liked your song/poem. It was very good.

Oh and it's a song. Lol
