by 45 members Some poems remind you of someone else. But other poems, they remind you of yourself, as if someone tore a page from your diary. Those are the kinds of poems that will find a home here. The ones that quietly speak to you about who you really are underneath it all.
Please, do not post your own poetry. This collection is for sharing other poet's work that you relate to. Thank you.
Religion. Belief. Faith. Have you ever wondered what it would be like without them? They create a divide. They control people. They scare people. They create monsters People are so blinded by what they've been taught, That they lose all sense of what's wrong or right. They believe that what they're doing is right. Religion is a way for people to justify their actions, All in the name of God. We say to people "Don't take God's name in vain." But that's what people are doing. Using God to justify you taking someone's life Is not showing respect. In fact, I think God would be quite disappointed. Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to humanity. We are human when it greets us, But when it's finished with us, We are no longer people. We are machines. Religion isn't an intelligent way for God To 'communicate' with us. Religion is just an intelligent lie.
I don't mean to offend anyone or anyone's religion. This is just what I think religion has done to the world. I am so sorry if I have offended you in any way. I do not mean to. I have absolutely nothing against people who are religious....except maybe the ones who **** other people because of religion....but those are just technicalities..... :) Don't come after me...
This is quite a sore subject for a lot of people, yet one that is quite popular.
robotic idiots. that is what humans are.
I don't believe in religion, but I do believe in God. But I also kind of don't believe in God because I believe in Science.
She woke alone lying naked her mattress bare except for the lonely echo of her beat-less heart
A calendar void of any dates hung solemnly above her bed Invitations had gradually ceased to arrive no calls no letters no texts found their way in through her damp dark walls
Years of guilt had led to a mountain of unwritten RSVPs as she hid her self-hatred from any that endeavoured to help
Convinced By emptiness Convinced By a colossal
Void
Grown tough Evolved stern Solid Vacuous Dead
Awoken By a softening tenderness that was not of her own She became still Her spirit Her soul Inhaled Exhaled Into her heart
today was different somehow Today she felt the ocean waves whisper to her soul “Come to us and forgive” “Come to us, and forgive yourself”
She felt the warmth from the tiny pebbles beneath her as she connected with nature She found her way back to her heart
It took you long enough To finally realize That I don't like you. Not because you did something Or because you are you, But just because.
When you don't like someone, but you don't have any reason to NOT like them. That feeling you get from a person you don't like. You don't know why. You just don't like them.
