Poetry

I was going through my stuff earlier and I found this poem I wrote a few months ago. I was gonna put it up, but I thought the better of it at the time. Now I want to post it.

Broken Unicorn
I used to be so happy,
Filled with a child's ever-present glow,
But the magician came, and took me away,
And now my rainbow doesn't show.
My horn is crooked,
My heart split in two,
And though my colors are faded,
I still smile for you
Gone is the sparkle that danced in my eyes,
And with each tear that falls,
Another dream dies
The fairies weren't real,
The dragon breathed lies,
And all that remains,
Is the broken unicorn who cries.

Kitty

The cat chased the mouse,
For the mouse was its prey,
But when he caught the small mouse,
The dog chased him away
For the dog hated cats
And so protected the mice
He didn't really care
If the cat thought he was nice
But the cat didn't mean to hurt the mice
He just wanted to play
The mouse was to be loved,
Not torn up and thrown away
But the dog didn't understand
The problem at hand
And the cat went away...
For in the dog's house, he wouldn't stay
He'd find another mouse,
Perhaps another house
But his heart would always be
With the other mouse, you see.

Cold Mind

The snow fades out my vision
The sun is nowhere to be seen
What a way to start off Spring...
But then again, its always been
Powdered, cold and white,
Falling without a care,
Covering the rooftops,
Putting shivers in the air
My nose is red with frostbite
As I slowly step outside,
And find that it is warm...
And that the snow was in my mind
Sometimes before you get worked up
You need to sit back and reflect
So when your mind plays tricks on you,
The lie, you'll be able to detect.

Poetry

More Room

We need more room in the world that we're in...
More room to laugh, more room to love,
Our hearts have been filled, with hatred and despite,
We should be happy, not having to push and shove
We need more room in this broken down place,
To decorate with happiness and renovate,
We need more room to share our smiles
A happier home we can create
We have to try, to get rid of the bad,
To stop yelling and shouting,
To stop getting mad
To learn to work together
More room must be made
And life can be lived happier... not against a depressing blade.

Poetry

Perfection

Everyone wants perfect,

perfect hair, perfect skin,

perfect face, bony thin,

Everyone wants perfect,

But no one wants to try,

Even if they did, most of them would likely die,

The mirror has consuming ways,

Destroying all it sees,

Your mind has awful powers that can bring you to your knees

So don't fall in the deathtrap

That every mirror sets,

It really isn't worth it... and it could result in death,

Poetry

Words

Let the words flow out,
Let the words flow out,
If you don't move,
You'll get it done without a doubt
So let the words pour down,
Like rain in the spring
Let the words pour down,
And you will see what they can bring
I know the words are there
Somewhere in your mind
So please, let them free
If you would be so kind
Because my mind is a cage
And the words are my beast
They always break free
When I need them the least
But they are there
They're uncontrolled
So I close my eyes
And let the dice roll.

Poetry Update

I have decided that, at least for a bit, this site is going to be strictly poetry. That's what I am always posting here anyway, so I have decided to make it official. I'm not saying I won't return to regular blog posts in the future; I just want to focus more on poetry on this blog right now. I am writing regular posts on Mountain Rants daily as well as my Dad and sister, so if you are more into my regular writing you can go check there for 3 new posts each day.
