Caged Bird

Caged
You're to release me.
Not what Bird wants.
Must this place be a trap?
Where is that paradise,
The one you promised
When you opened the door.
Beckoned me in.
You let me taste perfection
Only to tear it away
Without a word.

Wonderland faded
The prison now unveiled.
Bird must know why.
Only wants to know
Where perfection broke,
And how.

Perfection
On to destruction.
The interior disolves
To nothing.

I don't want to be free
Only accepted.
Bird is broken,
Needs a new heart.
Maybe yours?

Please just show me
Either way.
Time is wearing thin
But the scars never will.

Hello to Haiku

If you've read much of my blog, you've realized I enjoy writing poetry. Well, I'm trying out hiaku, so wish me luck!
Rules: 3 lines: The first has five syllables, the second has seven, and the third has five.
Here goes nothing!

Strength will be taken
Only when desire to know
Is willingly lost.

Believing is known
The simplest of concepts,
Yet hardest of acts.

Lacks a beginning,
This life we all keep forging,
Also lacks an end.

We push for success,
All crying out for a change,
Yet scarce few will act.

Life gets to be hard,
We want to quit. At these times
We return to dreams.

Standing as a stone,
True to what I believe in.
I know who to be.


Well, that was fun! :)

If you look around at our mad world and just listen for a while, you will notice that it has it's own rythm, it's own flow... It's own sort of poetry. Even through the pain and the madness, there is a sort of beauty in it.

Lovely Little Poems

Lovely little poems
Buzzing in my head.
They whisper and they giggle
As they hear their bodies read.

I write them when I like
And even when I don't.
I've asked them, please, to free me,
But they tell me that they won't.

Lovely little poems
Dancing 'cross my mind.
They've grown to be a part of me
The piece I couldn't find.

The piece I've carefully hidden
That I scarcely dare bring out;
For words are the fiercest weapons
When they're flung and thrown about.

Lovely little poems
That I must learn to bend.
It's my duty to instruct them
To either bite or to befriend.

Sigh.

Applying for college.

It's madness.

For those of us that are.. er.. not as on top of things as our peers, any way. I just spent the past two and a half hours of my life trying to scramble everything together to apply for BYU-I by the end of tomorrow. Ouch, right?

Eh, not really. It was my own fault.

What I'm trying to say is DON'T PROCRASTINATE! Just don't do it! It's HORRIBLE!

Thank you for reading this underthought and hastily written, yet vitally important message.

The Wall

No escaping
The anguish,
The tears that never cease
To beat against this heart.

No breaking through
The wall.

The one you put up in front of me
Everytime I look at you,
Say your name.

I'm lying here
Broken, bloody,
From hitting that wall
Over
And over again.
I can't break through
But I have to.
Have to obliterate
The space
The empty universes you've spanned
Between you and me.

That space has become
Death
To my heart.
Love thrown away
Shattered across the floor.
A part of my heart
That can never be mine again,
Can never be whole.

I live to see you:
That you're safe,
That you're happy,
To see your smile.

If only it didn't flee
Everytime I showed my face.
My diseased face.

Hope dies
The hole widens
When the dead in your eyes trains upon me.
Killing me again.

So why, Love?
Why do I keep trying,
Beating my bleeding fists against
That wall,
The one too hard to break?
The one that can only be taken down
From the inside.

I don't know,
I know almost nothing!

I've lost all but this truth:
I love you.
And that is all.
