All of these poems are original poems written by me. Please do not post here until I get this thread set up. Thank you. Also, please do not steal any poems. It's against the law and why would you sink that low anyway? You can't be that desperate. If you want to use a line from my poem, or anything, let me know and I will probablt let you. Just ask first. Thanks. I will also post a bit of my novel here. In short segments. Hopefully you guys will like it. Comments and crtiquing is greatly appriciated.
With much luff and luck to those aspiring writters out there,
~Jessi
(Just to let you know, I like to change the color of my font, so don't be alarmed if it's steel blue one day, and violet the next. *wink* )

This is a longer poem of mine. When I originally wrote it, it turned out to be 8 pages long! You don't have to read it all, but read some. It repeats itself in some parts, but it's one of my best poems. Please feel free to comment on it all you like. But please, no bashing.
Live To Die: Wanting and Knowing, Loving and Having
I can see it in your eyes
Waiting to come alive
Wishing it were simple
Coming into the skies
Now in the hazy distance
I can see you clearly
Hoping for a miracle
But knowing none will come
Wishing something to happen
At the same time, knowing nothing will
Living lie
While telling the truth
Cant explain why
But still having faith
When there's none left to pass around
Living up to expectations
Willing to go through
All the pain
And heartaches that pass me by
Longing to hear the voice
Of someone near to me
Hoping there’s a way
To make them see
That I’m in no mood
Wondering why
But will always know the answer
Wishing they could hear me
Knowing they never will
Receiving the right information
And thinking that it’s wrong
Never will I know
What is the truth
And what is deceiving
They thought to explain
What was what or what was pain
Never thought of asking you
Even though I know the truth
Will someone tell me what’s going on
I’ve lived here way too long
In the darkness and shadows
Of all of them
Needing an explanation why
We live to die
Asking for a reason why we cry
Loving to attention we get
When we shall pour our souls out
Wanting to know why
But already know why
Asking the questions
Marveling the answer’s
Urging myself to do my best
But wanting you to do the rest
Loving but not being loved
Really bites it big time
Wishing and hoping for more to come
Knowing that it’s junk
Waiting for the funk
That will never come
The twitching eye
On the wall
That watched
Through it all
Hoping never to be found
Knowing that it will
Wishing to be seen
By all that is near
Hoping and believing
Wishing and praying
Wondering and marveling
Whys it’s there
Looking at you
Knowing what is fake
And what is true
You cant know everything
The say it’s a sin
But wondering why
God knows all
Cant live a full life
Until life itself is full
Wondering, marveling
Praying, believing
Wanting to know why
We live to die
Wondering what to contemplate
Contemplating what to wonder
Looking at the village
Down yonder
Laughing as they do
Singing as they do
If we are all the same
Then why are we different
Wanting to be loved
Loving to be wanted
Waiting for the answer
Pondering the question
Asking to know why
We live to die
Watching them
With their little games
Tricking children
Into what they know is wrong
Don't know why were here
The only good explanation
That is near
Is that
We live to die
Loving why I am the way I am
Wishing to be herd
Longing to be loved
That's why
We all have the same question:
Why do we live?
I’m asking you now
Not knowing the answer
But wishing I did
Cant stop thinking
Why I wrote what I wrote
Living to die
Living to die
Is like
Dieing to live
Dieing to live
Cant stop wondering why
I want to know the answer
Wishing that I did
Pondering why
We live to die
And die to live
Seeing me crippled
Is not what I wish to be
Withering away
In front of a mirror
Watching time stand still
While the hours fly by
Making no sense
Is sense in the making
That's why I want
To know why
We love to die
Were inspired to be ourselves
But what do ourselves aspire to be
Who knows
No one knows
But when we do know
We will finally know what its like
to die
It shouldn't be bad
It shouldn't be sad
But face it
We all know its not easy
To go through
What we all want to go through
Because if we didn't
It would be a cliche
Wanting everything
That's waiting to happen
Knowing that we shouldn't
Makes it all the more fun
To want what we cant
Wanting to be noticed
In a forbidden city
Helps us appreciate
What we have
And what we don't
Loving, wanting
Its all the same
Knowing, pondering
What can it mean?
They all have great lives
But greed gets in the way
Of what really matters
But there is one thing we must remember
The ship must always sail away
Because in time we will learn
Why we live to die
Wanting to know why we hallucinate
Our love for others
Love is just a thing we want
Nothing more
Nothing less
I have one last question
to ask.....
Do we live to die
Or
Die to live?

In Your Eyes
A need to be perfect in your eyes
Never being good enough, no matter how many tries
A feeling of being needed is all I want
This feeling inside, it will always haunt
No matter what I do, you'll always turn me away
Nothing I'll ever do, nothing I'll ever say
Can change your sick way of thinking
Endlessley deeper into the depths of darkness, I am sinking
This sick, torturous feelingis holding me back
Your heart is dripping, oozing with black
There is something hidden in my demented mind
Something you know is there, but will never find
Unnoticed have been my pleads and my cries
A need to be perfect, if only in your eyes
This poem was written for no particular reason. Just got bored one day.

Time Ran Out
They would never let us be together
I should have known
That it wouldn't work.
I left to go find something
To see why it chose me
And not you, or even them.
I left in a hurry and forgot my emotions
And I left them with you.
I stumbled and fell
Then I forgot about you.
It seems that half of me is dark
The other half : Light.
I hurt you so much
Can you forgive me
And hold me in your arms?
Then you came searching for me,
Whether it was their orders
Or from your own accord,
I knew somewhere in my non-existent heart
That you missed me.
You were angry
That I forgot about you.
But that didn't stop you, did it?
In the end, you died,
Saving the other me,
granting me passage.
Light and Dark now live together.
And always, somewhere in their hearts,
They are thinking of you.
This poem was written for a couple characters in a video game called Kingdom Hearts II. If you can guess the characters, I will love forever!!!

OMG, I am in love with your poetry. Everyone last one of them is amazing. I was wondering if I can quote the line "Were inspired to be ourselves But what do ourselves aspire to be". It's just so beautiful.
