Right now in school, we are doing poetry. I have come up with a few poems, and I want to see what you can come up or have come up with! I'm excited to see the results.

I have a few, but these are some of them.
Trenches
Here I am, deep in the ground
With blood and sweat and tears all around
Sadness and death in the air around me
Gunshots screaming like jet planes in an action scene
The cries of their wives from the worst call of their life
But that is the future, the present is time
Bombs dropping all over the place
Soldiers bodies lifeless from their dreadful fate
The screams, the cries, the booms, the bangs
Make me wonder why I joined this horrendous fate
Why did this happen because one man shot dead
And millions more in the future that laid ahead
But then I remember that the world is at stake
So I must protect it with all of my faith

Yeah that one was pretty bad, I just came up with it this morning. Here is another one:
Glass
Tears are shards of glass
They come from something broken
If you touch them, they will hurt
And they will break you too
You can try to fix it
With the fixing tape
But that will never truly heal it
For there will always be scars
Tears are shards of glass
They come from something broken
If you touch them, they will hurt
And they will break you too
You can try to fix it
With the fixing tape
But that will never truly heal it
For there will always be scars
Again not that good as I came up with it a few days ago.
Here is my second to last one:
Free
I feel as if trapped in a box
That's taped shut and put inside a vault
But then I see a crack of light
And I reach for it with all my might
I finally grasp it
And I feel free
Like a horse in a stable let out to run wild
I see the color
In all of this darkness
Which starts to spread
Until everything shines bright with life
Life seems much brighter than it used to be
For I finally feel free
I feel as if trapped in a box
That's taped shut and put inside a vault
But then I see a crack of light
And I reach for it with all my might
I finally grasp it
And I feel free
Like a horse in a stable let out to run wild
I see the color
In all of this darkness
Which starts to spread
Until everything shines bright with life
Life seems much brighter than it used to be
For I finally feel free
OK again I came up with most of that on the spot so I'm sorry if it's bad.
Here is the last one:
The Sadness of Life
Here I am, trapped in a world
Where power over people
But here I am, stuck in this world that is so impossible to survive
Here in this world
Where wealth matters more than life
Sometimes I wish that
I could just jump off the bridge
Sometimes I wish that
I could be up there with all the gods
All I had to eat today
Was a bowl of soup and bread
And sometimes I don't even eat
Because I think I'll be better off dead
But then I remember
"Hey, I'll get through this"
And think of life better
And then I remember
"Oh, I'm on this bridge"
And the life fades out of my eyes
Where power over people
But here I am, stuck in this world that is so impossible to survive
Here in this world
Where wealth matters more than life
Sometimes I wish that
I could just jump off the bridge
Sometimes I wish that
I could be up there with all the gods
All I had to eat today
Was a bowl of soup and bread
And sometimes I don't even eat
Because I think I'll be better off dead
But then I remember
"Hey, I'll get through this"
And think of life better
And then I remember
"Oh, I'm on this bridge"
And the life fades out of my eyes
Ok there's a bonus one
Flame
The flame and embers are like the sun
They bring peace and life
And then they explode
The souls of the distressed scream like sirens
For they will be trapped to burn in the fire
The ghosts will haunt this scene forever
And their screams can be heard with a fever
The sickness these souls have to face every day
Is more than any virus can ever say
For they will be trapped here forever
To burn in the fire
The flame and embers are like the sun
They bring peace and life
And then they explode
The souls of the distressed scream like sirens
For they will be trapped to burn in the fire
The ghosts will haunt this scene forever
And their screams can be heard with a fever
The sickness these souls have to face every day
Is more than any virus can ever say
For they will be trapped here forever
To burn in the fire
OK I'm done now depression from this should be gone now. Sorry you had to sit through this.

Where you are meant to be, wrote this about 3 yrs ago
Where you are meant to be
The air whispers around you.
Quiet and loud.
Strong and silent
Broken and beautiful.
The air speaks this of you.
Quiet and loud.
Strong and silent
Broken and beautiful.
The air speaks this of you.
Tears fall like shattered glass
Your hopes and dreams a song
The air tells me this.
This is where you belong.
Your hopes and dreams a song
The air tells me this.
This is where you belong.
In clouds of light
In seas of expectations
You are an island of purity
Your outstretched hand crushing these lies
And sneaking me possibility
In seas of expectations
You are an island of purity
Your outstretched hand crushing these lies
And sneaking me possibility
The nightcrawlers want that love of yours’
They want to destroy it with ease
But they don't know of your powerful light
Its purity crushing all things evil
They want to destroy it with ease
But they don't know of your powerful light
Its purity crushing all things evil
The air speaks child
Dont forget its sound
It shivers and shouts
And brings things about
Both evil and good
The air is good child
For it is one.
Dont forget its sound
It shivers and shouts
And brings things about
Both evil and good
The air is good child
For it is one.
