Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inner struggles: 5 of 498

NO END IN SIGHT When will the madness stop, I just want it to end; I have been on life's roller coaster, as far back as I can remember when. I tell myself each year, I will make this year my best; Just when I think my fortunes have changed, it turns out to be an empty chest. Up and down, sometimes I feel like I'm on a see-sa...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Ending a relationship: 3 of 282

A DARK CLOUD Love is unpredictable, wasn't meant to end this way; When you walked into my life, it was a special day. Ending a relationship, it's so hard to do; We used to be so close, there was nobody like you. Wish things were different, wish I could go back in time; Maybe I could fix what's wrong and you would still be mi...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I dare you: 2 of 127

DARK AND MYSTERIOUS Dark and mysterious, you like to follow; When I take a drink, you even swallow. No matter how fast I walk, you match my every stride; Sometimes you are short, sometimes you are wide. I raise my hands, so do you; Mimic me, that's all you do. Never seen your face, but I know who you are; You are always with...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Politics: 3 of 174

AGENDA DRIVEN Lied into war, committing moral crimes; But seldom do politicians, ever do the time. Would lie to their mothers, just to get a vote; Some of them, are just big jokes. Forget the party, just more of the same; Some of them, have no shame. I'd be dreaming, if I ever heard the truth; Controlling the agenda, that's ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nighttime blues: 3 of 146

FRUSTRATION I am tired, but I cannot sleep; I close my eyes, I even count sheep. My body is aching; I need a nap; Yet my adrenaline is alive, I'm going to snap. I can't remember, the last time I slept; With this insomnia, so frustrated I never before felt. I feel like a zombie, like the walking dead; Feel so wired, even in b...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Enemies: 3 of 127

RIVALS Two foes, enemies to the end; Now rivals, when once were friends. Driven by envy, with an equally stubborn pride; Fighting over a prize, their hatred will collide. Fueled to compete, no matter the cost; Deep down, they knew it was a mutual loss. Looking in the mirror, they were haunted with shame; Sacrificed frie...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Prisoner of the world: 3 of 121

END OF DAYS Locked inside,the boundaries of my room; Outside of it's confinements, I fear doom. The end of the world, I fear soon; Anger & devastation, in no time it will swoon. A prisoner of the world, entrapment looms; My mind overcome, with the sounds of boom. Preparing for the end, my plans I groom; If I had a shuttl...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Describe yourself: 7 of 269

NOT PERFECT Straight forward and precise; Overall though, I think I am nice. To those less fortunate, I like to give; Helping my fellow man, that's how I like to live. Creative, imaginative and smart; Forgiving, understanding with a big heart. Thinking outside the box, is how my mind clicks; Treating people fair, not about t...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Children: 5 of 178

A MAGICAL TROLL Once upon a time, there lived a troll; With magical powers, could turn rocks into gold. Born a dwarf, but stands tall; With a wink of his eye, he created water falls. Hiding a dark secret, cast by a spell; Promised a witch, he would never tell. As long as he obeyed, the lucky charms he could keep; If he cross...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lost souls: 5 of 159

INTO DARKNESS Our hearts beat, but our souls are lost; Our blood is warm, yet we are as cold as frost. We are not shepherds, we have lost our way; People drift further, each and every day. Sharing good fortunes, that we refuse to do; Getting richer, being a fat cat that is you. Creating misery, we have no shame; All we care ...
