Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dark Poems: 48 of 397

Secrets and silence, hatred and violence, little children running around in circles. And just one more day until I'm dead. Has paradise long committed suicide? And where do all the angels hide? In search of the devil to confide. There's not enough questions asked. And too many checks being cashed. Broken homes, broken bones,...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Inner struggles: 63 of 498

Where is my neutral There are two creatures that sleep under my bed, one is full of life and the other is half dead. There are two clouds that hover over my head,one is bright white and the other reflects sun red. There are two voices repeating all that I've said,one is soft and polite and the other is like lead. There are t...

Cover Girl Please take off the mask i want to see you! Chip away the mold society has placed upon you! I know underneath,there are tears that fall like rain. I know underneath there are scars from all the pain. I know underneath,there is a mind trying to break out. I know underneath,lye's terror,anxiety and doubt. Speak to m...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Life: 30 of 101

I climb the tree, the highest tree , from up here every little speck of you i see. My hands are gripping tight , so tight , i'm looking for a mugging , i'm looking for a fight. I perch like a cat looking to pounce this or perhaps mate that. I carry a stinch of failure and nicotine, i'm ready to break out and make a scene. Yo...
Sports & Recreation > Auto Racing (Other) High speed car racing: Should Daytona and Talladega be banned?: 9 of 30

Ban Daytona and Talladega? Sure, why not? And while you're at it ban rock concerts, football games, baseball games, golf...heck, just ban everything that could be considered frivolous fun! I read this topic and then read some of the responses and I must say thanks to those who voted yes, I needed a good laugh. Does NASCAR "g...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Shame: 14 of 43

You stand there looking in disbelief , you not spitting on me is such relief. Was i once just a high paid attorney , or an archaeologist on his next journey? Did i perhaps teach your children in school or spread the word or the golden rule? Was i the one who advised you of that big trade , any weathered suit will soon ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Broken & lost: 64 of 163

In a land of fat and waste , it's the vial secretions of you that i taste. Cholesterol milkshakes to wash down your mouthful of hypocrisy. Shoving dollar bills up fat asses while another starves overseas! Who has been thrown under the bus . . . "why it's the man with no dimes." With no ashes to ashes or dust to dust . .."why...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Self-reflection: 189 of 458

Today my demons are dead! I beat them upon the head until they all lay dead. I have taken Gods word and engraved it into my heart for his word has been there from the very start.
