I write a ton of poems when I feel depressed or excited and it helps me deal woth my emotions. The majority of the following poems were written during times when I was really depressed. Keep that in mind as you read.

Poem(Many of my poems are nameless):
Is pain and hate
When you don't know how you feel
Is it confusion or truth?
Do you kneel
On the ground
Looking for the truth that decieved you?

Is pain just another word
For that we do not understand
Is hate just when you don't know what to say
To another man

When things are dark and gloomy
Do you just mope around
I know I certainly am that way
Until you are found?

I just wish that life would be
A walk in the park
That anyone can see
But since life shows us hurt
Just be honest to me.

Boku no Yumi(The song is in Japanese, I have the Romanji and the English in paraenthesis):
Naze desu sorre ka(Why is it that?)
Are sae itsu watashi wa(Even when I)
Desu ato baka(Am such a fool)
Boku dowasure(I forget for a moment)
Ishiki desu shitashii(Everything that is close to me)

Bakkin, boku mankitsu(Fine, I have had enough of)
Korera heki de watashi no kontan(Of these lies in my soul)
All I want is love(All I want is love)

Hanashiromu ken nashini koikokoro(I feel without a blooming love)
De watashi(For myself)
Masaka kan desu kisei(I can never be complete)
Boku desu baka(I am a fool)
Higan desu anou gomen nesai(All I want to do is say sorry)

Watashi kirai wagami(I hate myself)
Motte watashi no muchi(Because my ignorance)
Ageta ken'o sunawachi izen(Brought up a hate that before)
Desu boku no kasou(Was my imagination)
Boku no yumi desu ato usoppachi(My once dream is a downright lie)
Dzuki boku(To myself)

Is it wrong?(Is it wrong)
Kirai watashi(To ahte myself)
Jin boku mottainai kokushibyou(Don't I deserve as much as death)
Soshite goubatsu(And eternal punishment punishment)
Kongo yo, tentei ken YOU(From society, God and you)

Shannen Froita:
Shanen Froita
Shanen Froita
Shanen Froita
Happiness at other's expense
WHy does it seem
Why my joy is emense
Somone is sad
I took what is their's
What they shyould've had

Regret is a word that means
You have done things that are wrong
All is not what it seems
I still love you and think of you all night long

I know that I made some mistakes
You may never forgive me
I've changed for the worse
And I can no longer balance my chi
Because of the one I chose
You have left me

Shanen Froita
Shanen Froita
Shanen Froita
That is me
I am the one who always hurts
He who he loves
Just for hapiness
Why am I the one in pain?
If Shanen Froita is me

Shanen Froita
What a piece of crap
All I have to do is be who I used to be
Instead of who I am
And Shanen Froita
Means nothing to me.

Haiku:
The fish are singing

Their only silent song

Swiming gracefully

Wave of Death:
It's a wicked wave
Crushing all in it's path
And flowing crashing on a cave
Although somehow
It makes me laugh
Beauty and flame
Destroying all
And yet so tame
Like an elegant killer

It's the wrath of gods
And yet their pleasant reward
With the power of lords
The wave finally shall no longer
Foward

Another Japanese Poem(English in parenthesis):
Watashi no Shinji fukai de boku no gaihi
Tsubasa anna desu kega
Tenma satsugai boku
Takurami sotte dare watashi ren'ai za mottomo
Boku ketsubou hae
Dakedo iie
Watashi wa desu hitobito
Nie tenshi wa desu koko
Dakedo naze yakan
Watashi nozomi dzuki himei
Ka
(My needle has pierced my skin
Wings that are broken
A Devil attacking me
Betray by who I love the most
I want to fly
But never
I am human
There is no angle here
But why at night
Do I want to scream?)

Gotoku ato tenshi de makai
Naishi ato akuma de tentou
Watashi wa desu tsunei nei ichibu
Boku desu tanshin
Boku kirai watashi
Tameni eisei
(Like an angle in hell
Or a demon in heaven
I am never fitting in
I am alone
I hate myself
For Eternity)

Feelings:
I wanna cry
It's been in me for so long
I wanna die
But it hurts to try
I wanna fly
But wings are broken

People say that there is worse
And that I can live
But as I write this verse
Memories begin to seeth

I feel a pain more than comprehension
Even if some have felt worse
It is a pain that only I may bare
But it seems an endless stair

Every step becomes harder and harder to reach
Every point to rest becomes fewer and few
I can no longer carry these heavy loads
I feel like I'm dying

My dreams have been tormented
By our future
Ever since I was a little boy
Terrors came to my eyes and pain I felt alive
Scar to my face at night were always there
When I woke up in the morning I use to stare

There those who take advantage of my passions
Break me up inside
Take advantage of my actions
Break me up inside

My god o' blessed
Where has thy faith gone
I am torn between love and faith
In a battle forlorn
Shall I choose and loose
Or loose not to choose
I shall never win
So I shall call this...
Fin

Let me Scream:
You act, you know me
Like your my friend
But I know it's all lie
That it's just a joke
A hoax in your eye
A hoax in your mind

I know it's not true
That my thoughts bend into lies
You won't let me scream
Why do you follow me?
Is it so hard to lead your own path
And never cross the way

Don't act like you care
I don't want you to share
Why are you tormenting me?
False friendships, without a hope
Just leave me to scream
As it would seem, you hate me
As it would seem, I see the shadow
As it would seem, We have always been in a battle
As it would seem, You destroyed me

Now just let me be
As it would seem.

Inspired:
I know of my past.
The choices I made
the future held before me
And yet in vein

I know what I have done
Mistakes I made.
But please let me live.
Live on my shame.

My heart aches with the pain of my lies
I feel remorse on the sky
My soul burns alone in the shadows
Of our shadows we stand

I shall not leave till I die
Don't ask why
I will stand and stay strong
Till the day I die

I wonder around the city,
Some may feel pity
But I will not stop
Stop and fall down, stand high
Until the day I die.

ANother Japanese One:
Tenshi no shukumei
Ikusa anata no akuma
Hi-ro naimentki teiku hishou
Watashi wa dekiagari desu

Tenchi… take your wings and fly.
Tsubasa de yami
Menkyo za hikari dzuki raikou
Ken chiyu sono kega na chusshin

Watashi wa desu bo-n motte sono ichi-ikusen yumi
Boku wa desu bo-n nashini anata no ren'ai
Dakedo nara temae desu koigokoro touhou ura
Iie... Anata dearouhhitotsudomo watashi aisuru
Anata wa watashi no tenchi desu
Maro no seizon wa atsui otaku no kokoro
Watashi no kokoro wa otaku desu


I want to be free
Boku oideninaru
Akuba wa motomu
Boku no akan na yumi
Okagede watashi wa
Yumewomiru dekiru

And that translations is:
Angel’s Fate
Fight your inner-devil
Hero awaken from sleep
I am ready

Angel… take your wings and fly.
Wings of darkness
Grab the light
And touch your broken heart.

I was born with one-thousand dreams
I was born without your love
But maybe if you would love me
No... You could never love me…
You are my angel
It is your destiny
You are my destiny

I want to be free
I wish to be free
From this curse
My hopeless dream
And thanks to you
I can dream

I was born with one-thousand dreams
I was born without your love
But maybe if you would love me
No... You could never love me…
You are my angel
It is your destiny
You are my destiny

Finally, I am I:
I am I
What am I?
Am I an illusion?
Dream..
Am I forged from your dream?
Or am I forged from your hate?
Am I but an appirition of myself?
What am I?
Why am I?
I am I
Who am I but I?
Is it normal to be not myself?
Am I who people tell me I am?
Or who I am within myself?
Am I the child of generations of man?
Or the child of those before me?
Do I wear a mask of hate and prejeduce?
Or is my mask of love and joy?
Does my mask exist at all?
Or am I forged from my own hate?
Am I the fool of scoiety?
Or am I the fool of one man?
Myself...

Dark and cryptic one-liners do not make poetry. As fun as it may have been to write, it's not near as fun to read. Then again, I've never even attempted poetry, so, I'll just leave now.

Well, I would like to note, there are no one liners.

Tsu-chan wrote:Well, I would like to note, there are no one liners.

There are lots of disconnected ideas and circular statements.

And

Boku desu baka(I am a fool)

Are you sure that's accurate?

I wrote it when I was learning the proper grammar is:

Boku wa baka desu.

But I can't change it now.

My turn!!!!



Waking up is the hardest thing to do
You couldn't ask me to write for you
I think it's time to go through
I wanna say i'm with you

And i guess, what i'll say
Is I don't like, you anyway
And I'll go down that road
That i found such a bore

And I'll walk around for hours
And you'll see i'm into flowers
When your done and bored of me
Maybe finally you'll see

And I guess, I could say
Is I don't mind it anyway
And i'll run outta town
And get away from this place
~~~~~~~~

Gone:
My thoughts are just like a daisy
Idea's fall from the main thing
Could I ever be released
No

I cry for my lost one
I walk in the hot sun
I need you to feel complete
Yeah

As a traveler I have become one
With the cold moon and hot sun
I've lost all things I perceived as fun
I need you and me to be as one

Let me stay here one time
I'll think in the meantime
Of how foolish I have been
Oh

Please don't leave me baby
I can't quite explain it
But if you stay I think you'll see
Me
~~~~~~~

Jello:
I seem to see it
When I close my eyes
I just cant seem
to open them again

For Everything, You've ever done
This is for you, the only one who has
shown a care, for me, at least I think
but what do I know
What do I know

AH~~~!!!!

I fucking hate it, I can't take it
Gotta get out of this place
For all it's done, I'm gonna melt

I'm gonna release
I'm wanna relax
I've gotta rehab
~~~~~~~~


Meep Moop.....

Can I stay here
Can I play here
Can I live here
I wanna be here

If I could sing here
I woulda been here
But it all depends now
On what you see here

I gotta stay here
I gotta play here
I need to live here
I gotta be here

What do you see here
Do you see me here
Do you find love here
Or someone else here
~~~~~~~~

Random 2:
Run OUT!
RUN NOW!
Even if you can't find the way

GET REAL
GET FREE
For In the world there is no need

And if you ever paid to get In
And if you ever needed to get rid
Of somthing burried deep inside
Just run it around
It'll go in time
~~~~~~~~~

Random 1:
A mistake of reality
I don't care, what you say to me
I found it hard, it's hard to breath
I'm a mistake, of reality

I'm going fucking crazy
Here with out you
I can't take the presure
Need to wrap my arms around you

Don't you think your funny
When you do me like that
And then you turn around and
Fucking stab me in the back
~~~~~~~

Sammael:
I feel alone, and I unloved
I need to feel, I need to touch
I wanna do things that I shouldn't do
I can't get a grasp on my libido

Come on, it's one more time tonight
I can't stop, even though it feels unright
Hello, can you say my name
Hello, that's no, i'm not quite sane

I've been here since the day dawned
Always watching but frowned upon
I need to laugh and get to
The point
Of it all
Dont' you see
It isn't me
~~~~~~~~~

Sand:
I have sand in my hair
But I don't really care
You make me feel calm, and under control
I like this feeling, it's so unknown
I can't help but think that its you
That makes me feel like me

I can't complain
And I can't quite say
That I ever have felt like this before
It's such a day
And we still play
But it's real, and I can't complain

I look at the stars
And it's so nice
That I can be here with you
Tonight
~~~~~~


Hmm...I should start a band...

WEll, you're better then me.

Well. I didn't write this post. Deleted.

The poem isn't bad... Poems don't need to rhyme or have rythem to be good. They just need meaning. And in this meaning, it obtains a beuty in itself.

Tsu-chan wrote:The poem isn't bad... Poems don't need to rhyme or have rythem to be good. They just need meaning. And in this meaning, it obtains a beuty in itself.

No, they do need a metre. And solid imagery. And literary devices. Otherwise they do not fit the definition of a poem.

po·em ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pm)
n.
A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme.

An ideal poem would be able to incorporate all of these elements, but even a work in progress should include some of them.

So, yeah, writing poetry is actually a very intricate process.

A poem is an emotion. A definition cannot rightfully describe what those feelings are. Poems can be beutidul without those things, even if those things make it sounds better.

Well then it's just a piece of proseful text...but really if you like it then that's all that maters.

Deleted.

Uh... thanks... but your poems are good, Zugzwang... It may not have ryhme. But it has rythem and prase and a meaning. So I like your poem.
