oy, shoveling through masses and masses (:
of papers today, i've found so many of old poems and essays and the like that i wrote a while back...i'll stick a few up here, but i ask that you don't copy or use them without my permission. thank you!
alright, so back in...february, i believe, my english teacher at the time assigned us this poetry project deal. compiled of 9 different types of poems, and titled "Thoughts from the likes of ME", my project got a 93, i think. here's some of the poems that were in there...
An acrostic:
My Downfall
Just a tiny hint of desire
Envy on its own
About a deep eternal fire
Longing to make its home
Only wanting one small thing
underneath it all
Spitefully it tries to sting
You have made me fall
A recipe poem (i hated writing this one...i'm not all that creative
):
Recipe for Lost Love (and/or Heartbreak)
Take the young hearts of two in love, lightly soaked in conflict.
Place them gently and carefully into a large bowl with room to spare.
Beat with a meat hammer that has been previously dipped in grief until they are mashed completely, with no visible chunks.
Pour in one cup of anger, another of betrayal, and one last of sorrow.
Next, fry in a vat of resentment at 375 degrees (F) until the resentment turns black.
You can tell it's done when the heart mixture has a thick, pink coating of anguish.
Let stand until it turns a dark red, then sprinkle on white slivers of fury.
Finally, slice and serve with a large glass of tears.
Taste the bitterness and distance in the never-to-be-forgotten lost love...
(the reason i despised doing this one is that we were given an outline, and had to fill in the blanks. so, basically, everyone's was the same layout, but with different words. i like coming up with things off the top of my head, and don't like to be told how to write. ugh.)
A voice poem (for this one, we drew words out of a bucket, and mine was anger...here goes...):
My Other Side
I am Anger
My cloud of darkness shifts
I am Anger
This cloud will never lift
I am Anger
I strike fear in children's hearts
I am Anger
I refuse to forever part
I am Anger
I fill you with certain doubt
I am Anger
They're not sure what I'm about
I am Anger
I cause pain and I fight
I am Anger
Beware of my ceaseless bite
I am Anger
I will make you cry
I am Anger
Dont you ever say goodbye
I am Anger...
A headline poem (written with cut-out letters from magazines...it took FOREVER...but this has got to be one of my faves...!):
HELL...
the fire slowly eats away
at my darkened skin
i guess this is the way i'll pay
for all my horrid sins
i never ever meant to do it
i promise and i swear
but HELL will never see me through it
this pain i'll have to bear
...i dont think the others were worthy enough to stick up here...uhm, here are some others that i wrote whenever i got inspired to write...mainly through anger or when i was upset...
this first was just a time when i was bored and feeling a tad creative...just an acrostic of my name
Sarah
Something lies behind her eyes
Always anticipating
Response is sometimes harsh to lies
And tries to be degrating
Hopelessly, she sighs
untitled...and thus most likely still in the works...
I'm sick and tired of living here
This house is not a home
How much more pain shall i endear
Until I'm left alone?
The thoughts, the words, the things they say
Have never been alright
How can i live my life this way
How do they sleep at night?
This life is full of things i hate
people here and there
is there anyone that can relate
to the anguish that i bear?
i think this one is missing a huge chunk in the middle...i need to work on it...i dont like the shift it takes...but here it is anyway
Never Look Back
I refuse to remember
I try not to cry
Inside me a burning ember
Refuses to die
I'm scared of the past
Afraid of things near
Love will never last
Whenever you're here
Inside me it smirks
Like never before
In there it lurks
Behind a closed door
Trying to get out
Never succeeding
Something you doubt
Will never be leading
So never look back
Dont ever look down
Something i lacked
Has finally left town
One more poem before i've got to go eat...
i wrote this out of boredom, and it was published anonymously in the school paper...
The Struggle in My Mind
I thought you were there to guide me
I could've sworn you said you'd care
I know what you have been doing
All the times you've never been there
U thought you said you'd be my friend
Through all times easy and rough
I understand how hard it's been
But honestly, enough is enough
You left me alone in this world of hate
While i gave you my soul and life
I try to understand, but I can't contemplate
Why you caused this conflict and strife
I wonder how you helped me fall
I think of how it stung
To see you throw away it all
And say that I'm too young
I liked the way you looked at me
When it was just you and I
The things you said just recently
Make me wonder why you cant try
You said you'd never ever go
And added you'd never cheat
But now i see it was just a show
With a grand finale-feat
I want to get away from you
To soar so high above
But looking closely now I see
That i have fallen in love
You've caused a struggle in my mind
It's never going to leave
I've ried to leave you way behind
But I have been deceived...
ok, well, that's it for now...more to come later...
Feel free to comment.

A diamond poem(hated this one for the same reason^^):
You:Them
Sweet, Kind,
Laughing, Smiling, Interesting,
Fun, Friendly, Loyal, Awesome,
Backstabbing, Lying, Cheating, Disturbing,
Two-Faced, Darkness...
THEM.

)...and, well, i really like blogging. it's a super great way to just rant and rave about subjects...although most of mine are of me just complaining 
...) i'm attempting to speak Captain Jack to talk like the pirate that is stuck inside his 11 inch bird body. or, what i presume to be a pirate.
