Thank you;)

 

Not bad, your poem has a nice flow to it. 

 

 

It feels so long since I've been here

 

Passion of self freedom

 

feel the air glide across my skin as the sun devours the night

never have I ever felt so free to just be

running and running with nothing on my mind

all time disappears

all that is left is the path

my fears and doubts clash with my heart

never stopping I run until they too disappear

in their stead is ambitions that morph to drive

never have I felt so alive

Found my way back here. Been lost for a long time, had many troubles and addictions you could say. I even quit writting because the words just wouldnt come out. I'm back, I am writing again to update even more often than I did when I became this thread. Only one of my poems have been published but I'm shooting for more. I hope all is well altough I know some of the people who left comments in the past are gone. I hope everything is well with them as well.

Goodnight,

ZK

Not all of us have left. I don't know about Frost, but I'm still here, and I can't wait to read what has happened in your world through your words. I've missed your writing.

Nice to hear from you again maia

 

These ones are old but I don't think I uploaded them to here:

 

Home

 

Take me home
where they don't judge
take me home
where they love
when my eyes
are closed
let my heart be
open
let the tears fall
for joy
as I'll finally be
alone
in a place I can call
home...

Should tonight be my last night?
my life is blinking bye fast
the light bulb above me is dull
the cold's trying to creep upon me
I can feel it slowly consuming me
what am I suppose to do?
every corner I take
I meet a knife trying to end my life
my only comfort is the night
the only time when I'm with the stars
I'm struggling, mentally its hard
psychically I could do better
no student left behind
It's on my mind
all the lies we've heard
said as long as we dreamed
our dreams would sprout wings and take flight
but is that really right?
no one prepared us for this fight
back against the wall
stabbing ourselves deep so we don't fall
bleeding through my hands
I can barely stand
looking through these half empty eyes
all I can see the grime and sickness
of the twisted truths from robotic minds
how are we suppose to live?
Its a new world changing every second
will it crash like the markets?
or flourish like the heavens they speak of
fuck that fold all that back


Instead of hate I'll spread love
me and hate have had enough
its a divorce
don't worry I'll get custody
its taken enough away from me
So I will walk away, today is a new day
Now is the moment the past is all a dream
today I meet the real me
today I will continue to fight for my dream
though I now I can't change the world
and I am not twisted enough to sit back watching it burn
So I can inspire you to change
with every line I write
with every word that hits your heart
tearing all the fake shit apart
so you can see the real you
and do what you have to do
in order to find you life
I wont let you lose the fight
I'm not your parents
I wont tell you its wrong or right
I'm not here to control you
I only want to express my mind
and inspire you



you know life is a puzzle
aren't you sick of shuffling it?
Its not new but you never thought all the pieces would be twisted
so help me help you fix all of it
instead of using this hour as my last night
I'll go above all of it, a phoenix rises now
I won't ever go back down
why don't you join me?

 

 

The Sun will Rise, Love

 

Let the sun in
let the shadows out of your heart
feel the light graze your skin
look out into the world
with a smile
stand tall with conviction
Believe with all your might
forget hope it's just a word we use to escape reality
only you can make your life as you want it to be
today is the time for you to shine
grasp what you want and say mine
hold it close to your chest and never let go
but never close your hands to another 
remember to be the difference
do not deny another of the dream you fought to accomplish
instead, be the guiding light for them
so they can pass the torch down to the next
spread happiness not hate, peace and love my friend
wealth is only for a moment, happiness can be everlasting

Its amazing how much I can actually relate to all three of those poems in one way or another, especially Home.

 

I've missed you too, Zero. I'm glad that you're back.

Thank you, glad to be back.

I've never shared these poems before:

Love...What kind?

So sorry I said I love you
I don't think it was true
when you left
my whole being was blue
I missed you
but there was another side to me
that was happy to see you leave
my heart heavy doubitng our love
You saw the real me and believed in me
Got jealous but never doubted me
when I forged a new path
you chose to not go down it with me
lied to me day after day
every conversation left hate swelling inside you
best woman I've ever known
but we were not meant to be
I don't know if I loved you but
you meant the world to me

Treated you like a queen
sure, we fought
might have said things we didn't mean
Yet you always came back to me
Sometimes I still wish we stayed friends
too late, we'll always be ex


What it's About

Heart, mind, love and pain
Tortured yet loved
rich but poor
age raising to closing doors
fading color from carpets
mind falling but the competition is sharping
all the rates of life lead to despair
yes, it's not fair
Everyone claims to care
Change isn't apparent
besides life is being like a game
but no one speaks the truth
nor do they choose to dare
Decaying lives
beyond reach
empty classrooms with no one to teach
upper levels are no better
a piece of paper means nothingg
but a debt to your name
50K's will always have you acting strangea
I try to understand the pain
but there's no one to feel mine
No one reaches to help


Neverr (July 1, 2016)

Wandering in the dark
with an enclosed heart
cracked and stained
with an unreasonsable amount of pain
wrapped in chains
self placed prison
only shadows surround me
no light cracks through
hopelessness drowns in pessimism
Will it never be that I will be free
my soul returned to me
only to be given at the right moment
to the right being
will i start living?
Send me a path of light
i can follow with all my might
for now, my eyes remain
closed embracing the pain
waiting to be forgotten or to be free'd


Live With It

I fear myself
not my mind
but my core
it's screaming in the dark
gripping my emotions
holding my heart tightly
I can't breathe
why does it do this to me?
Slipping through the cracks
everything fading into the black
How can I see through the drama
to stay on track to create my own path
not a single day goes by
where I don't want to cry
introverted shy quiet bizarre wierd
echoes in my mind
theeir words forever taunting me
homicidal and sucicidal thoughts come by so much
they have moved in
I'm drained
is it time to throw it away?
Eyes choke me before they register the real me
it's hard to believe I lasted this long
can't seem to figure out if I'm weak or strong
to keep on keepin on
when will I find the peace I need
please...someone tell me
I'm tired of living with it
I want to discover the solution of the numbness that corrupts...me

[Zero King]

I Can Be Found

 

Darkness surrounds me

encasing me in the darkest

realms of my mind

No concept of time

I drift with my eyes

dull to what surrounds

All I can see is the shadows

of spent time

They flood me as if

to drown me in misery

Shivering..such a vast

coldness consumes me

I can barely breathe

without self-harm being a desire

how good may it feel to 

feel the edge slide 

across my skin

Would only take a second

to finish it...

 

but I toss the knife to the side

No matter how hard it gets

I want to be alive

 

light begins to find it's 

place in my mind

Still lost in this muck

yet deep inside 

I still believe I can be found...

[Zero King]

Something a little different than normal

 

Queen

 

You're gorgeous

taking your time

believing in it

but I'm speechless

Every time we meet

palms sweat, my feet start moving

erratic to a punk beat

How could such a woman

make me so weak?

yet so strong

Calling out to you

won't cause you harm

It's simple..I love you

Join me on this journey

to explore the depths of life

with dual rings

from woman to wife

I don’t hate you

even now through your harsh words
I still love you
curse myself for being so weak
when I close my eyes
I can still hear you
Love the way my name rolls off your tongue
accompanied with love
I’m addicted..
Am I ready to go?
I pretend that what you said didn’t crush me
You were the only one to see me for who I truly am
yet you hurt me with the words others whisper about me about

So cruel, am I
to escape my love for you with lust
I gorge myself on sweetness of others
Not a single one could replace you
in my heart
Afraid to step back into the darkness
as I was engaged with you in the light
These feelings I can’t escape
Back to the wall of my mind
submitting to the devil in me
He doesn’t see the world through roses
Cold to the touch but bewitching with his words
Lost in translation..who am I truly?

The beast with insatiable thirst for velvet folds
The romantic with the gift of the written word
who would give the love of my life the world
A blend of the two
asI never knew I could be so bold
if only I could get rid of the cold
to combine the two to reach the best me
In the end I no longer linger for your return
Just let it burn
no matter how much I hurt..I will never walk back to you
for the last time thank you and I love you
but I don’t have the right to see you or being seen
although you would be in love with the beast
That’s not the complete me
Just wait and you’ll see
you’ll regret the words you spoke when you turned you back to me

It's a Wrap

I keep looking back
wanting to be there again
yet I'm off pretending..
not to care
How I wish we were in bed
head on my chest as I stroke your hair
Guess I'm just not that strong
I still care
But I can't reach you anymore
Love doesn't live there
Instead I must shout to the world
that I don't care and won't ever look back
Director of my own life
it's a wrap when I see you walk past
hand in hand with another
it's then that I realize
I could do so much better
without you by my side pulling me away from who I truly am
I pity him as we'll have to wait and see
how you wreak his heart into two
Just glad it's not me
I am free..I am free

[Zero King]

Dreams

Voice so sweet
she loves me
Finding her coming into my life
when I am in need
as I'm drowing in myself
she grasps my hand
to guide me through the dark
placing her hand over my heart
"Mine"
she whispers with a straight face
She evaporates as she was never truly here
I startle awake to live my fear
of being alone in a house
without the love of living in a home
in bed with the woman of my dreams
all I can do is...continue to breathe

[Zero King]

Cry

The solace I seek under water shines under a rush of air
No window in this place only a mirror to glance upon my face
I dare not to look away, I talk to myself out of my fears
a talk never blinking nor thinking
Straight honesty through and through
My face is stained with tears unseen to another eye
I am a man there are times when I too need to cry
Life isn't unfair nor do I care to share complaints
I show restaint with a smile in the public eye
In my house I stay awake to the wolves at bay
Only in my space can I truly see what's behind this face
Behind this body that most seek to ridicule
Judge me as you will, your gances no longer shake me
It's the naysayers that slay me but it is myself
The biggest threat is inside of me
My actions cause pain to myself
Yet my body won't react to my pain
What a shame
I dismiss the world as I build myself
as others wish to convert me to the grey
a mundane life of ties do not appeal to me
Rather drown in blood than in a sea of cubicles
It's just me in this room
sorting out everything as if a bomb is ticking away
I think back to the woman at the keys
tears staining pages as she sings about worth
I am a man of no faith yet I believe in me
It's a need for me to remember this belief
When my fears approach me not out of hate but as a way
out into the world I so seek
To cry is to not be weak
Sometimes I need to cry to finally breathe
I only need to remind myself to simply be me
and live free
A man walks his own way with his back turned to the world
and his heart open but guarded
Never changing only adapting to a new verison
I am king I will achieve every dream
All I have to do is stop me from converting into a hoodie floating through the halls
I will shoot for the stars, I'll leave this room now
In pursuit of those things with conviction
Goodbye my shelter I need to walk tall towards the sun
On my own two legs

Not all of us have left. I don't know about Frost, but I'm still here, and I can't wait to read what has happened in your world through your words. I've missed your writing.

 

 

You're back, yoho~

 

Hello, if you are still here. Here's a poem I just wrote a few moments ago. 

 

Scream

Quitting pain and rage

trying to tell this page

but my struggle fades

through the night

whispering..my time is near

Barely, hanging on by clinging onto what’s dear

I’m happy..is that what you what to hear?

Well, it’s true…but my vision is blackening

Mouth closed yet I’m struggling my vocal chords

screaming till dawn

when the demons are gone

yet the struggle remains

as cold as a chain in winter

Damn, not a follower or a believer

but a sinner seems to be the label placed inside of me

 

I can hear my heart cracking

as the pain swells feet up

yet I smile

Masochistic?

I’m happy pulling from the small fire of tears

Back to spilling ink, crying..I hate

but love spills onto this page

God knows I missed doing this

writing as if there is nothing to lose

no guilt no shame

no fame only me and a made up name

as fake as a smile on the 6 O’clock news

Here I am doing what I got to do

to write and write until there’s nothing but

a dull blade cutting my heart

until it sparks

Ain’t got no money or aims so no fake parts

I am who I am, you are who you are

 

I’m happy to stain this page with pain

yet growth comes to me as…

I let go.

I have more control over this pen

many nights its cried down lines

leaving ripples in my mind

as I couldn’t see straight

I guess that’s fate

Go through pain to find the motivation to rise

through the punches knocking you around every corner you take

Escaping the coldness that wraps its hands around your neck

squeezing until you release..

in anyway.

Only to remember you can’t drown in rage

or you’ll be the same.

 

Curse me..

knowledge flows through  me as my number rises

life is too precious to be the old you.

Don’t follow this happy fool

although I know that you’ll go through this too.

Hopefully, I can ease the pain

with these words…

I love you.

 

Everything will be alright

only you can walk through the fog

Go now, we don’t have long

until the next attack occurs

fight through the burn.

Embrace the pain

and live true to the desires of  your inner child.

 

I know you can push through

but even if you quit

and vanish into the sky as a fading light

leaving behind memories and words upon a wrinkled page

that someone will wish was elongated as they can’t nor want to say goodbye

to you fool.

 

I’ll still love you, there’ll be no hate

yes, pain will come.

That’s life..

Would rather feel pain than rage

and quit living to sleep or say something I would never mean

if I wasn’t under the spell of regretful rage.

 

Uncork your bottle

and go on..

With no shame or guilt

Live as you always wanted to

until your heart lays dormant crumbling to life.

You will be found

but only you can search for yourself

Look in not out

Open your mouth

and scream……
