Destiny

Whirling around us
The colors are all present
Where do you align?

Blue Awakening
To cry out in a new day
Everlasting Hope

Red Star Up Above
Sing out in the sins of old
Tears Fall in Dark Lust

Or stand in silence
Greet and enjoy defiance
No more reliance

There is no such thing
Wrong nor right, Truth and Peace is
Why we still fight on

I wrote this in 5 Haiku poems; however, the fourth technical stanza doesn't count as a Haiku because it rhymes. I like it as it is right now, so I never have gone back to change my error here. I could definitely do a second version in the future though!

Shoulder

Lend me your tear
For there is nothing to fear
Leave it on the shelf
Never doubt yourself
I shall lend you my brave
To you who can save
Now, use that mind
Lend them your kind

Happy Thoughts

I despise this feeling
That doesn't have a sealing
It wants to constantly be singing
And in my head it never stops ringing
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I don't want this cheer
Stop ringing in my ear
You are a blight
That I will never accept as right
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I deserve to die
I want it to just end
To have the ringing mend
I want this life
No matter the strife
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
This is my name
But after all this shame
I deserve to die
And this isn't an ugly lie
It's a beautiful truth
For this one and only youth

Poetry Flies

Let's make some rhymes about a dove.
Did you know they represent love?
If that's so, then do you think it is right
To go ahead and cage that white?
They fly for their part
But little did they know it was over from the start

I wrote this one to define what I my poetry is about.

Shadows VII

Forever I shall remain alone
Forever I shall remain silent
Gifted with light
Greeted by a corrupted darkness
Forever I have suffered
Forever I will learn
Forever I shall remain with you

This is a revision of my first poem. I talked with an english teacher of mine about the original, and she wanted me to be more clear on the message of the poem and play with the words a little. This is what I did.

Shadows

Forever Alone
Forever Silent
Born in the light
Blessed by the darkness
Forever standing with you

This was my first poem I wrote on my own time. I didn't intend for it to be super great poetically. I wanted it to have a super ambiguous meaning. That way, anyone can come up with a meaning for it.

Six Heads to the Future Death

I want to
Leave a message for
My fallen about a
Legacy that brings an end
To all of our pain.
You can see it now, can't you?

Uncover the secret message if you can.
