Shira's Poems sweatdrop Allo all! Well, since I just became active and I sadly don't have enough posts to join the contest yet I thought I'd give it a shot and share my poems. ^^ They aren't much but when I'm stressed out I tend to write...I'd really appreciate feedback if you read them. Critisism is as welcome as comments but please don't be rude or insult my poems because they're all special to me in some way. That's all I ask. Thank you!

Road Leading Nowhere
Do you ever feel like you don't belong?
The world is a road leading nowhere,
With no reason to keep following.
With each day that comes
I wonder if there will ever be 'tomorrow.'
Yet every minute feels like eternity.
What is the use of striving
For something you can never have?
Life is one big mystery.
When the sun rises again,
Do you ever feel lonely?
Like every chance is torn away.
Trust is a feeling hard to understand
When there is so much betrayal.
Is this a reason to keep going?
Would you have the courage
To risk getting hurt again,
When you know how hard you'll fall.
Is getting back up even worth it?
The road never gets easier,
But just seems to stretch even further.
Have you ever felt love,
The true compassion for another soul?
Or is it more than something you could ever describe?
Whenever you feel like the answer
Is at your very fingertipos,
You find yourself at the beginning once again.
That's when you realize
That there never was an end to the road.
Only the choice on how to follow it.
ShiraLi

*claps* I must say I greatly enjoyed reading it. Found nothing wrong except for two spelling mistakes I caught, but who doesn't make a spelling mistake.

Dream Demons
Last night I had a dream of crimson and amber.
I can geel the sweat on my face as I awaken.
There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of them.
The cruel eyes that always watch me in my restless slumer.
Who are you?
You seem so familiar...
My life may seem oridinary, but to me it's anything but.
Nightmares of haunting figues come closer every nigh,
And I can only think how long I have until they reach me.
I feel their claws slashing through me, pouring wine red from every cut.
Please help me!
I think I'm dying...
My friends stare back at me with indifference, walking away.
They think I'm crazy, and my soul is locked up in a forsaken room.
People in white suits try to talk to me and tell me it's not real.
Nobody believes me, and this hellhole continues every day.
I am trapped.
Won't you set me free?
Today I saw a boy who looked at me, and he seemed to see me.
His amber eyes gazed at me knowingly, piercing my soul.
I know him, I'm sure I do, but my memories slip from my hold.
The dreams won't go away, ignoring my silent plea.
Come back.
I know you don't I?
Night approaches again, but this time I have new found hope.
I fight the shadows, trying to escape their silent promise of death.
Then I see him: the amber eyes gaze right through the solid black.
Morning comes without me, but I can't find an exit from this
impossible cliff, I can't find the rope.
My end has come.
My dream demons are here...

Unrequitedly
Even now,
Love is the only word
That can describe
What I feel
For the person
Who knows me best.
But words are like snakes
Twisting themselves
around me heart.
How can I prove
How much you mean to me
When all I have is these.
I could say I'd die for you
But what good is that
When I'm still alive?
All I have is this emotion
That is without limits.
How blind I have been
To not see
That all I have
Is exactly what
I've had all along.
I love you.
Unrequitedly
ShiraLi

Two of the Same
I feel it;
The familiar surge of
anger well up
inside me.
There are
So many things I
Want to say to you
Right now.
Sometimes
It feels like you don't
Understand how you
Hurt me.
I don't know
Whether to cry or scream
My agony into
The silence.
Frustration
Works into my core
While I fight to
Restrain myself.
Because
I know that if I
Hurt you, I'm
No different.
Am I?

In such grieving times I wonder
how the sky can shine so bright
and the flowers bloom so wide.
Fate has left me nothing more
than the remains of a once
inspiring dream.
I look to what is called heaven
and see nothing but endless
shades of grey and the blur
of my broken soul.
The wings that I once used to
fly away with are now tattered
and useless for the means of my escape.
You would think that the world
would notice the pain of its
inhabitants.
But no.
If I look around me everything
is as it should be with their laughter
and their tears.
What justice is this that I must feel
such suffering when the only
troubles they have is themselves.
Perhaps this is not that way to go.
I walked around a corner and for
the first time in many times, I
saw a miracle.
Such beautiful colours
I smiled.

Is Two of The Same a definite vent point for you, or is it just amazing without the aid of raw emotion?
