QuietlyRemembering

"Every day that I live, Solitary, Confined to my own self, My own thoughts, My own mind and my own desires. Every second breathing another breath, Crying another tear, Forgetting the last second's pain..."

"I no longer will wait for you by the seldom opened door, I know so painfully now you won't be knocking there anymore. It's been so long since I heard your laugh, Or made you smile... I'm starting to b..."

"I know you don't want to hear it,I know you don't really care,You know how much I believed in you,But you never believed in me.I know you see me crying,I know you hear the words I say,I can feel that ..."

"I wonder right now under the great willow tree, I hide from the pain that I have bestowed upon myself. I pretend that you haven't left me at all, But instead you're really standing right next to me, T..."

"Sometimes I just wish yesterday never happened.I wish the sun never rose,The moon never set,The stars never stopped shining.Sometimes I wish today never came.I wish that right now, in the darkness of ..."

"Constantly you tell me you hate me, It rings in my head every night before i sleep, Echos in my dreams, But I'm here to tell you I don't care anymore. I don't care what you think or who you're with. E..."

"Outside it's raining, But inside it storms, The shouts and the violence, Muting the laughter, Never giving way to happiness. Is this how I'm supposed to live? Supposed to feel every day that I live? I..."

"How am I supposed to feel? Feel as I open the door to my room and walk down the blinding hall, The light glaring a heavenly white towards my dark, drowned eyes. I listen to the rain fall steadily upon..."

"I have been with allpoetry for but a little time but I have read so many wonderful poems from many wonderful people. With all my heart I wish you guys would recosider but I can see now that there i..."

"I never really knew how to tell you how much you mean to me. From the first day I say you staring at me through crystal aqua eyes, The most pleasant smile resting on such a beautiful face I knew you w..."

"Heh.... It's almost funny, The monotony in my life, The repetition of daily conflits and decisons, Screaming, The once in a while throwing of such valuable items and overly expressed feelings being ha..."

"It's such a beautiful day, The magnificent leaves of brown, red, yellow, and orange swirl around in a small tornado, Perhaps the most beautiful thing life has to offer, Perhaps the only thing life has..."

"What only a few words can describe: Somewhere along the creation of a dream land of peace called life, The entrance of darkness crept in, consuming all that was once good. Though life is what one mak..."

"With shaky hands I wake up every morning, Drenched in sweat. I know I was up this night, for my wet footsteps left their signature for all to see, I don't try to remember, It's not worth it. I've hea..."

"I can almost see my breath in the fall air, Inbetween a bitter cold and warm spring breeze. I wish I could lay here longer upon the cool ground, Staring up at a wonderful sky, Feeling the warmth of th..."

"Im sick of all those people who tell me how to live my life, Tell me how to be free. I hate those people who base their lives on religion, When all religion does is produce hate and destruction. Don't..."

"I am no longer worthy of being who I am, It is too high a caste for me to sustain, For I am but nothing in the largest chunk of nothing that has ever existed. I remember once a long time ago when I th..."

"Sometimes in my dreams I go to this place I love so much, No words can be said that can describe this place except your smooth, sweet thouch. I remember when once all I needed was the security of know..."

"My Only Teddy Bear (Part 2.. Teddy Bearing Gift.) It may have been the best day of my life, The only day dedicated to loving and nothing less. I thought it would be forever, You told me it would be f..."

"This anxiety, it eats away at my heart, Devours my life and chains to the wall the soul I never attained. My heart pounds too fast to control, I breath for every second I live only 20 seconds too fast..."

"I do it for the thrill I know I will one day have, I do it for the life I one day dream to live. I hope to no longer feel pain, To no longer put up with people's cruel comments and oversized egos, Or ..."

"Poetry has no shape, No form. It follows no patterns, Doesn't have a turn signal for when it turns, It moves on it's own. It has a mind of it's own. Poetry is not something you can be taught, It must..."

"70 years have gone by so fast, I look back and wonder what has happened to that boy with the dark brown hair to the point of deep ebony, The boy with deep azure eyes? His hair has faded; it no longer..."

"You think you're so special huh? You're nothing but a dumb son of a bitch, Who can't talk unless it's yelling, Who can't reason unless you get your way. You think I'm gonna look up to someone like you..."

"The sky outside is dark to my eyes, The moon, it pierces through the night, The stars, they shine as if they have never shinned so bright before. The clouds, they dare not dethrone the moon, It's bri..."

"We lie on the frozen, crystallized tundra, down in the field of hope and dreams And stare so intently upon the sky with our hopes set high. Our dreams are uplifted from the vibes of the powdery white..."

"Sometimes I just don't understand why I must wake up every morning, And walk away from the happiness of my bed, The silence and calmness of even the most restless of sleeps. All that matters is that I..."

"I wish you could see what I see,Watching you everyday destroy yourself,Destroy the people around you.I wish you could understand what I tell you,But you cannot,You choose to ignore...You choose to wal..."

"Some people would suggest that I didn't care, But they are the same ones who know nothing about caring at all. Some people would suggest I'm rude, And if rude is needing my own space, My own time, My ..."

"It's as if I'm somebody else, Somebody I never knew. I look in the mirror and there is nothing but opaque eyes and a plastic smile, Forgiving, yet fearful. Everyday brings something new, Usually nothi..."

"I thought it was okay,I thought I was through with it for the rest of my life.I tried so hard to avoid it,To ignore it when it happened to my friends.I tried so hard to run from it,Thinking I have def..."

"Today I cried for the first time in so long. It was sacred just to feel the salty tear glide down my cheek and cascade down to the floor, Where it shattered and ricoched endlessly It seems everything ..."

"It's been a cold night and I have left my jacket at home, I never thought I'd ever become a component of the cold. Sheltered from happiness, I never really knew what it was like to feel real light, An..."

"I know more than anything that the air outside is cold, The bitter wind nips at my lips, And my breath soothes the night sky. I know more than anything I will have to return one day, I can't hide from..."

"It seems every day I feel worse than the day before, Whether I couldn't sleep the night before, Or I was up every 5 minutes coughing. I long for the day I feel sick, Relieved of all sickness and pain,..."

"I've never been face to face with an enemy in the middle of a deadly world war, Or fought besides millions of friends who are now among the dead, But I do know what it's like to hate, And I know what ..."

"So you say I'm your friend but you walk away, So you say you care but you only talk about 'me' So you say you love me but you don't even know the meaning. So you say you know me but you don't know shi..."

"I remember when we could just sit around outside, The sun hidden behind the fluffy grayness of the clouds, Casting a false sparkle upon a forged ground. I remember when taking a walk down a forgotten..."

"Many years ago we would run and play hide-and-go-seek, Or swim in the pool until we shrivled up and fainted from exhaustion. Many years ago we would play mindless games like follow the leader, Or hold..."

"The air outside is freezing cold and I await the walking signal on the corner of the desolate downtown street. A car or so passes by until a tall, dark man walks up to me, And in his muffled voice, Br..."
