Alright, so, I'm actually really nervous about posting this, but, here's something I wrote. Please don't be too harsh if you comment..

[Make Her Real]
Through empty eyes
she stares at all
the world has to offer
with a childlike wonder.

With torn ears
she listens to all
people have to say
as her head begins to spin.

On the tip of her tongue
sit all the words
she has to offer
but refuse to come out.

With scabbed feet
she dances-
she walks-
she runs away.

Another day
and she plugs herself in.
she tilts her head
and is lost again.

She opens the door
and steps outside.
She looks up
at the night sky.

All the stars,
a thousand prying eyes;
all the trees,
waving good bye;
and the wind,
blowing her away.

Once again
she comes to
that same old
new realization.

She spins in circles
where she stands.
She stops and drops
the gun in her hands,
and she runs
for her life.

I think it is well written, especially for someone so young. keep writing.

Nice....don't worry about criticism around here. most people are pretty kind about critiques....if people tell you mean stuff just tell them to post their poetry up and they'll shut up. ha ha lol.

I aboslutely love this...powerful, poignant, beautiful...be proud of your creativity, it's really wonderful.

 

11/12/08 7:49 PM

Wow, thank you so much.

 

11/15/08 11:16 PM

You know, you seem so young for such...frightening words... It's so sad, and yet so touching. It almost sounds like you've been through some times, felt hopeless, alone, an outsider in your own world. That's why it's so sad. Your way with words, with touching on feelings like you have with your writing, to take those feelings and weave such beauty with them, that's touching.

In other words: When can I read more of your work?????

I teared up a bit reading your comment, because yes, I have felt like that quite often, but I've been coming out of it, and I feel like I've been running like hell from what I'm coming out of.
Anyway, thank you very much. =]

Umum.. I guess I'll get to work on something. ha

Over the last few days, when there's nothing to do, I've been writing haikus. They're not fantastic, but they're my first. I hope 5-7-5 is right.
Here they are...

[Fräulein]
Look in the mirror
Gobs of make up on my face
Do I look ok?


[Heim]
Walls close in on me
There is no more room to grow
I can hardly breathe


[NURA]
After everything
Joy now stands triumphantly
Beating down the hurt


[Show Me]
I would love to write
Something happy, full of joy
But I don't know how


[Vater]
Alliteration
Always doing the same things
And now you're drowning

[Feel This]
Suppressed for so long
Finally wakes
Wings spread
Head rises
Lungs gasping

Ready?

I wrote this next one when I was 13. I say that not to impress, but as an excuse for it's potential suckiness. I was proud of it when I wrote it, but.. not so much anymore. But, I've never showed it to anyone, and am curious as to what you all have to say. So, have at it...

[Writing on Black]
Like mother and grandmother
The daughter is drowning in the water
Doesn't seem anyone cares
Like father and grandfather
The son is burning in the fire
Isn't anybody there?
Sometimes it all feels as pointless
As writing on black

Grab hold, grab hold, we'll fly away
For I cannot stand another day
I've tried so hard to teach them a better way
- of peace, of love, of life
But sometimes it seems as pointless
As writing on black

Trying so hard to keep my emotions at bay
But I cannot take another day
- of faking it
Grab hold, grab hold, let's fly away
For this world is as pointless
As writing on black

That's good for anybody, not just a 13 year old.thumbs up

 

11/19/08 12:59 AM

Yeah, it's 5-7-5, and I like your haikus as much as your other poetry! I guess pain really does know no age, does it? I shudder to even attempt to visualize the kind of pain you must've endured. Still, your poetry is moving, and if it is a viable outlet, I say keep writing! Besides, I can't wait to read more!

 

11/19/08 5:36 PM

To me, compared to what other people have gone through, what I've gone through doesn't seem too significant.. I come from a typical broken-home-sad-story-daddy-left kind of thing, you know? Meh..

[Waterfall]
I always sit too close to the edge
Because the water is so lovely
You know I always get lost
And you push me in
And so it begins
Here I go again

On the way down it came to me
I can’t control what happens now
And it took long enough
And I stood back up
And so it begins
Here I go again

As I walked back to Sanity I noticed
That I can do this on my own
And it took long enough
And I fell to my knees
And so it begins
Here I go again

Typical never makes it less painful.
I like Waterfall, by the way!

Something for you to consider:

The Road to Eden by Sean D. Lucas

Leave your burdens by the door
You won't need them anymore
Cast your doubts, allay your fears,
Wipe away your long shed tears.
All you love, all you adore,
Will give you strength to find the door,
Will steady your hand to turn the key
And find sufficient faith to see
Whatever it is that waits for you,
Whoever it is to see you through
A whispered kiss, a delightful sigh,
Something wonderful draws ever nigh,
A vision of freedom, a blissful retreat,
A relaxed stroll down a sunny street,
That leads only to what you desire,
A chance to quench that consuming fire
That's been eating you away so long,
You've finally found a place to belong,
Where you can be welcomed with open arms
To ensure that you are free from harm.
The walk back to Eden is far too protracted
For those little things to keep you so distracted,
So leave those burdens far away,
And release your desire to live for today.

Oh, I love that. And thank you.

[Rainbow Blasphemy]
here i
sit at Your feet
on this
dingy carpet
in this
dark house
i look up at Your
gray face
You are
all i see

but I couldn't see
enough
i am
in Your hands

You call me
princess
why
then
do You
treat me like
this
i jump at Your
every move
what is
Your mood today


I
hang my head and
close my eyes
I
am
alive

I
don't need to
survive

[Luke Warm]
Everything is
just fine and
I'm feeling
ok.
Everyone is
satisfied and
we have just
enough.
Life is going
alright and
I'm wasting
away.

 

11/29/08 11:40 PM

nice stuff in here

 

12/01/08 9:18 PM

^Thank you. =]

[Aftershock]
Wandering through that place again
Wondering what to put my faith in
Saw you standing on the other side
The fog almost makes you look pretty...

Looking at my face in the mirror again
I can't help but notice the changes
All the invisible scars add up
The fog almost makes me look pretty...

Imagination takes hold again
And I nearly lose my mind
I'm slipping back down my fucking mountain
and the fog looks so pretty...

 

12/01/08 8:22 PM

nice.smiling smiley

 

12/02/08 5:41 PM

Waterfall and aftershock are my favorites- all of them are good but those two I really felt. And the flow was perfect. I keep re-reading them smiling smiley Thank you. If it's ok with you I'd like to print them and hang it up - do you sign your work with sunshinegirl?

 

12/02/08 7:03 PM

Thank you very much. No, I don't mind at all if you print them out. I'd be honored. =]
Um, yeah, I guess I sign it with SunshineGirl.

 

12/24/08 4:58 PM

Not sure how I feel about this one...

[Rasierer]
I didn't know what it meant
When you said "forever and always"
I didn't know what it meant
When you said "it's just you and me"

Why do we have to move so fast
If it's "forever and always"
Well don't we have time?
And if it's "just you and me"
It doesn't sound like I have
much of a choice

I didn't know what it meant
When you said you loved me
And I didn't know what the hell it meant
When I said I loved you, too
But I don't think it meant a damn thing
Do you?
And I don't know what that means

I agree.
Considering how difficult it is to find the courage to love and how vulnerable it makes you, it makes sense to be ambivalent at times. Of course, you may not be in love at all, you may just think you are.............lol........being ambivalent.grinning smiley

Well, actually, I'm single, though I am terribly fond of someone at the moment, but it's not about them. lol Whatever, anyway.

^Thank you. =]

Another one I'm not sure about. But, again, whatever.

[oo es es ah]*
I'll do anything
And so much more
I'm your own
Personal whore

You've stripped me down
But why stop there?
Your rejection
Is more than I could bare

Come on over
Do what you will
There's so much more
To be done still

My arbitrary devotion
Is for you to abuse
So come one, come all
To the land of the used



*You just said something in German!

 

12/28/08 8:56 PM

[Uben]
Dark eyes, so bright
My only light
So quiet, your voice
Never by choice

It hurts, how much I miss you
To daydream is all I can do
I want you with me everyday
But I don't know what I'd say
And I dream about you every night
I nearly cry at the false sight

I would love to tell this to you
But I don't know if you feel it, too

12/28/08 8:05 PM

Well, these are both pretty amazing.

It hurts, how much I miss you
To daydream is all I can do
I want you with me everyday
But I don't know what I'd say
And I dream about you every night
I nearly cry at the false sight


Very moving......
