I've seen the world with tired eyes, and yet I wake to each day waiting with hopes of good life.

My mind is dark, But my heart beats with a beaming Red,

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things." ~ T.S. Elliot

Flows and spoken words...

My poems are off the wall like me. I am not conventional and I'm ok with it. Some are dark n some are crazy n silly but each time I write it depends on the journey the unwritten words want to take me. Apologies if I offend. My poems are not about anyone unless I dedicate it. I have more but I'm saving a few for me It's there to enjoy so take what you get from it and be thankful we have words that seem poetic in their own right. Put them together and sometime magic happens

the way I write is different , original I created this style and I call it ~Poetic dialect} enjoy !!! Im half Palestinian and half Russian I fall in love often with knowledge,not seduction love to me is about passion not repercussions every day I imagine loving ever lasting if was the case no more I could ask for !! My giving name is Samer i am a personal social visionary ,a self starter inventive business man. intuitive lucrative an crafty. systematically acting rationally,too respectful & very selective individual, I'm also ridiculed for being original, I got charisma no one can copy, yet with a potty mouth I have no proxy! Im sometimes seductive and foxy, never called a softy yet talkative enough to talk a court into a mockery, yet I completed competition to create A monopoly. I have faster self-control like a master. Patience similar to a burning candle! Not demanding with sincere actions but like a ninja I don't like to much attention if that's the case I'm creating a distracting for my quick extracting,I'm speedy with quick reaction when others Are harassing bit of a jokester, but yet a true leader!! Take a minute and observe how I obligate the opposite of toxic, im a true romantic with aspects too dynamic too dissect! Im not arrogant but reasonably confident, honestly loyalty matters most I promise....

When bad people are caught or found out for doing bad things, people in positions of power are given the job of discipline or punishment. To the bad'ns, the PEOPLE in authority are scary/frightening. The people in authority are to be feared. In my life, no, my life is, the fear I have learned to have. This fear I am telling of is not of any man. This fear is of something much greater. This fear is of a power that is as clear as air to me now and as sure as the sun. This fear is not of anything you may know about. This fear is, simply put, my approach to everything in this world. There is an old book that is also a very good book which states a truth that you can bet your life on. If you like treasure hunts, check out Proverbs 1:7 when you have a Bible handy. Winkey Face. And to quote lil wayne's eyeballs, "Fear God"

Instagram: heyitsjennybear > I'm Jennifer. I'm 20 and in college. I've moved around a lot and lived in many different places. I see beauty in words and in nature. I hope you like the way I string words together to make art.

I'm young but my eyes have lied naked to the world for too long, but i see , I live, gain wisdom, I write, and most of all I learn to love. what you see depicts the difference between you and me but to find the difference we must share. If nothing else my words be my gift to you and your response be your gift to me. And might I add I'm willing to receive.

A deep soul with a good heart. Living life to the fullest and enjoying making and learning from my mistakes. I'm not perfect! I'm just me expressing myself through my poetry!

I have a desire. A desire to fix my life while at the same time fixing others. I'm a wanna-be poet from Kansas City, and I'm still very young. I want to continue to stretch my mind and continue to gain skills at writing. My poetry is mainly about my life and how I cope through, in hopes that I'll help someone else. I prefer deep emotional poetry, such as Edgar Allen Poe, or the best of Shakespeare, I also love Donte. Poetry is an amazing art, and I will always try to be better.

My name is Kamu, but names only stay important in the physical world. I am a writer, a poet, a photographer, and an artist. I am a person in this world, that just wants to contribute to all the creative energy in this world. Hoping that my poems will inspire and positively affect people, to let them wander into the deeper side of their life, to pull out the words from their thoughts, and creatively place them into reality. In my journey through life, I am constantly being awakened into someone else's imagination, and I share my thoughts and reflect upon theirs, being inspired to write from ideas that we have all put out together, sharing the images and emotions that come from our complex human minds. To me, questions are the most important thing of all. The art of questioning all and having theories and trying to fill out the unknown seems to be one of my greatest fascinations. I love thinking about things that stay a mystery in this world. It is what inspires me to write. Writing is a way for me to express in a way that is unavailable in any other form of art, or on a greater scale, life. I hope you enjoy what I am trying to express, and I hope to be inspired by your creativity as well. Thank you.

My name is Kairoh I'm 17 and I'm Irish. I want to share my poetry with other poets not just for good feedback but also for careful criticism. Thank you and I hope you all enjoy my poems and what not. :)

I started writing poetry at a young age, I express my feelings by writing my thoughts. I hope you enjoy, and can relate to my poems.

I am married and a mother of three. Two boys and a girl. My children are everything to me. They inspire me to do better, they are the reason I keep going every single day.

My name is Chrissie and this is my first blog. I wanted one place where i can post my poems for all to see besides my Facebook page. I hope you enjoy my writing.

19. Words speak to me more than art. Although isn't writing art? Pizza and Long walks on the beach. My poetry is here to inspire someone, lighten their day, or for them to enjoy.

I like to think of myself as just another young lady hoping for the future. As a kid, I've always dreamed of becoming something huge and successful. At one point I wanted to become an Astronaut, then a Pediatrician, a movie director, a video game developer, etc... It wasn't until 5th grade that I would completely decide that I want to be famous for my art. I got picked up by CPS in 8th grade; December 17th, 2012. That day, I decided that I wanted to die... But I couldn't. I had my sister to look after. In 2013's summer, I would be placed in Vail to go to Cienega, make friends, and two months later, be forced out of Vail. Sometime in August, I was taken away from my sister and put with a new foster home. From that day and forward, I was also diagnosed with Chronic Depression and signs of suffering from Separation Anxiety. These conditions, when combined, which often happen, render in suicidal tendencies. I promised myself I would run away and hopefully get kidnapped and die on November 13th, 2013. But that same day, I would lay eyes on my biggest crush for the very first time. He had outgrown brown hair and was crying his eyes out. One thing lead to another, & on November 30th, 2013, he would stop in the middle of the hallway to kiss me. I finally found my reason to keep on living. My plans for the future are now completely different. My name is Liz. I am 16 years old. I want to become a designer in the artistic realm, become a published author, and spend most of my time at home to take care of a tiny version of myself and my fiance. There's not a special thing about me, but I can tell you exactly what does make me different: I believe in the power of love and what it can do for us. Some people claim to have seen Jesus. I claim to have seen true love.

My father was of french- English heritage my mother was a afriaans woman. Both my parents died 2013. I grew up in a broken home parents got divorced when I was very young. My father had musical talents as and he wrote poetry, songs. He also played the bongo drums. My talent I got from my dad. My childhood was not an easy one but strength and wisdom came from it. I also have a gift for exploring pain in my poetry for example my latest work " beau tynybres" is about looosing A sloul mate . I also write inspirational articles about various subjects.

I am 17 years old, and I have gone through many things that a 17 year old shouldn't go through. I lost my sister when I was 11 years old, and I lost my uncle when I was 15, and I lost my aunt when I was 15 years old too. My Aunt went through depression and ended up killing herself, and my Uncle was a firefighter and was going on a call and his firetruck flipped over and he died. My other Aunt died of Cancer and so did my Grandpa (who was fighting for 4 long years), and my Cousin had a heart attack. As of right now my Great Aunt has cancer in her ovaries, and my Grandma has breast cancer. I have a big chance on getting cancer too, when I'm older. I found out when I was 14 years old that my whole life was a lie. My moms boyfriend at this time ended up being my biological father and my dad, mom, or my real dad never told me about it. My real father told me out of anger that I was really his child. It took me 3 years to deal with this fact, because of this I have 3 men in my life. I have my daddy (who is the man who raised me and is my best friend), I have my mom (the women who tried her best for me and my many siblings), and I have my biological father (who is now trying and is there for me). I also have 6 brothers and sisters who are there for me when I need them. I went through a lot of depression when I was 10 years old to 15 years old. I use to cut a lot and I haven't in almost 3 years.Everyone says God works in many of different ways and loosing all the people I have makes me wonder about God. But I do go to Church and Youth group and I do know that there's a God, A Heaven, and that Angels are real. My poetry helps me get through all the things that I've gone through. I am a survivor, I have had many terrible things happen in my life, and all the things I just shared with you isn't all of them. I am strong, and I know I can go through any situation no matter how big or small.

Writing has always been a big part of my life. Since I was a child it was so easy for me to write anything. Poetry has always been my passion . I pick up a pen and notebook and will challenge anyone I know to ask me to write something for them. A letter, a story, a hiku, an article. The pen and my thoughts become alive instantly. It has always been my first line of communication. Words are so easy to write and not as easy to say outloud. I can be abstract and remove myself from my element into a world of creativity. I compare it to composing music, painting a beautiful portrait, or sky diving. It can come smoothly, it can be beautiful, and it can be bold and exciting. If I could make a living writing, I most certainly would. What a wonderful release and when the words come to the thoughts I have, they come quickly and vividly. Almost as if it's a flash. I always carry a notebook and pen or use my phone to memo words or thoughts throughout my day. Some of my thoughts are so brilliant and clever, others are dark and mysterious, many are filled with sadness and lonliness. This is part of who I am and the feeling and emotions I have. I am my own muse.

I'm 17 years old with a passion for a wide range of things. My poetry reflects my life experiences and intrests. I love drama, music, fashion, film and art. Tracey Emin is my inspiration I love Larkin for his pure negativity An Education, Thirteen, Stand By Me, We need to talk about Kevin - few favourite films I love Bob Dylan, Jake Bugg, Adele Motorbikes intrest me I'm a huge lover of sharks I have two brothers, two sisters, Tough childhood and teenage years.

The name is, Samantha. The cliche depressed teenage girl, but I am also very much myself. I'm a sixteen year old Junior, at Niangua High School. I've learned love is rough. And if you really love someone you have to suffer a lot. I'm a VERY open minded person. I like to see things from different perspectives before I put my judgement on anything. I take feelings seriously. I have definitely messed up in the past. But as I am getting older, I am trying to make up for those things. I talk A LOT, unless I'm upset, then you won't even know I'm there. I like to write poems, listen to music, and make art. The stuff I write is mostly based on stuff I am currently struggling with, things that are happening in my life, or things that have happen, or that I have struggled with in the past. I take my feedback seriously, so take a few minutes, read my things, and give me some feedback. So, I can fix things, and so I know what to do for the next poems.

I have been broken and fixed. I have loved and lost. I see the world for what I want it to be and hurt at the realization of what it truly is.

My name is Rashawn or Raee. I'm 20 and I'm schizophrenic. I have depression and social anxiety. I have no friends. I stick to myself. Very honest and nice. I'm the best person ever if you stay on my good side. I'm not a mean person. People think because I'm schizophrenic that I'm a bad person. That's not true. I have a voice and I feel like it should be heard. Some of you might not agree with my poems but I highly recommend that you read my poem and understand it before you judge. Ive been writing for about three years now. It is my passion. Thanks.

My life is seen in the poems.
