No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates
With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

When fear starts to boil over like a forgotten pot.
Seeps into your pores and starts to rot,
Remember to smile.
Said not as an optimist or with any self deprecating sass,
But as a last defense for sanity and a means to save your ass.
Remember... – by Andrew ONeal | added by andrewo.53737

Trying to conglutinate leading to selection
In the process left in suspension
Either by your accent or your complexion
Set aback to the expulsion
Trying to get attention
Apply some make-up to increase attraction
Being pushed away by... – by TIMTEK | added by ifunanya_e

In a perfect life
I would run and stray
Be a girl on the go
"The one that got away"
I'd be on my feet
I would smile and greet
And most importantly
I would be free
I'd sip wine and talk about the hard things in life
In places, with... – by Madison Donzis | added by mdonzis

In quiet shadows, she once was just a name,
A fleeting whisper, a spark without a flame.
Weeks drifted by, her presence merely there,
Yet curiosity stirred a wish to share.
A day, a chance, to see her face to face,
In fleeting hours, found in... – by Brantino | added by brantinoadams

I’m up and I’m down and then I’m clowning
around
I’m so depressed now I’m cutting my flesh
so I can feel the same as I do physically
as I do mentally
Praying for the day, I accidentally caused myself a fatality
I want to escape from this... – by James Carter | added by sineskyle26

The ebb and flow of the tide rises and falls. The twilight darkens, and the call of the curlew can be heard as the sea laps against the damp, brown sands. The traveler Hasten for the town and can see the darkness settle over the town's rooftops and... – by A J C | added by alanswansea18

It's strange how a few short seconds can lead you in a whole new direction,
It alters how you think and act and see your own reflection.
From a single moment on, my life was forever changed,
Like everything I previously knew had suddenly been... – by Jaszmine | added by Jaszminewatts21

Damaged
Full of hurt
Broken pieces
Turn to dust
Left empty handed
No right to abuse
My trust
Dreams, wake me
From my screams
I die a million times
Just to say your names
Running thru my mind
Lost in my thoughts
Left behind, asking why

further
i drift from the human tide
the better i feel.
no noise,
no chaos,
no expectations,
just the silence
of my own skin.
people do too much,
they say too much,
just sleep all day
and forget the day
of the week,
of the year,

i'd rather be an unknown poet
than a celebrity,
lost in the margins
of my own making
where the only fame
is the echo of my name
in the hollow of my chest,
a whispered promise
to the words that haunt me
like a ghost in my mouth
refusing to... – by Joe Strickland | added by JoeStrickland
