But the blood of the covenant is
Thicker than the water
Of the womb.t h i s
Thanks for noticing that. It’s actually the original version of ‘blood is thicker than water’ but people shortened it and changed the meaning. I’ve been wanting to use it for a while.
Right, I got that. It's so beautiful. I want it tattooed on my forehead.
Okay here's a thing, but keep in mind that it's probably triggering
Oh yesssss! I saw this one in the Creative Writing chat. I love~ it!
Ahh thank you!
(I wish I was good at poetry. I look at my stuff and think "oh. well, this is crap.")
(aack i know the feeling my friend everyone is like so great at it and then I try to write and it just bleh)
The thing about wars is,
Nobody wins
If victory is the absence of loss.
The thing about love is,
Everyone sins
But you can’t run away from the cost.
Untitled
I shake in fear
that you'll be gone,
but I never do
anything to
stop it.
I want to say
that it's okay,
but I'm too scared
to be seen
as the
bad guy.
I should have known.
Why didn't I know
that passenger planes
get shot down too?
Why do you have to go?
You don't need to go
and trap me in this
Déjà vu.
I can remove the tape
from my fragile bones.
I will fall before you
just to let you know
That I…
I'm nothing but a bystander.
(Here ya go, just another crappy poem from Nie [or whatever you call me].)
(woa that is amazing, especially like the line spacing thing….i dont quiteee understand what it is about though? maybe im just dense) (ooook ik i have not been on in ages but here is one thing i did last night)
I'm not ill or diseased.
I'm not stressed or distressed.
To put it bluntly,
I just feel like dying.
I don't hurt myself because everyone else does it!
I don't bleed because I'm upset,
I bleed because I don't feel upset,
And I think that I deserve to.
This is not some brain malfunction or scientific disorder
I don't do this out of some instinctive coping mechanism
Because my life's going fucking dandy
I'd just prefer to lead it
I am bathed in a flood of emotions and colors
Laughing, crying, shouting, whispering
And my monotone gray has no place in it
I can't find my face in the crystal reflections
The shaking hand of a robot is simply trying to become human,
The lump in my throat is simply my speakers malfunctioning
If I pull out the wires, perhaps I can paint my arms vermilion
And pass as rainbow?
"Don't buy into all that stuff," you said
"I love you," you insisted, as if that was a problem
Then you told me you were not going to leave me alone, and that you were going to drag everyone into my life
And you walked away, to get the spray paint
(I wrote a thing!!)
We Are Poets
We are poets
We are writers
We look at the stars
And see people
We see thoughts
And we make them ours.
We are dreamers
We are searchers
We’re looking for the why
Or sometimes for
A way to leave
So find us in the sky.
I have written a poem because i was mad at my mother, you can probably tell,,,
F Word WarningI Came From You
I came from you
But that doesn’t mean
I’m yours.
You try to hold on
But I’m like sand between
Your fingers.
Because I have a mind
And you can’t control it
So fuck you.
And no matter what I say
No matter if I love you
I don’t want you.
Your binding requirements that
Even filter my breathing
like a tomb.
But the blood of the covenant is
Thicker than the water
Of the womb.
This hit me so hard, it's amazing.

Aw, thanks. Glad someone relates.
…school assignment said to make a poem involving words that make you think of the color white.
You got this idea in the bleached-out bathroom:
You could be a cloud.
Atoms never disappear - sheets from a hospital bed could later be the wedding gown of a new bride.
So you could one day float up and away into the fog of daydreams.
And join the ghosts of angels.
Just take one innocent step.
Feel the teeth of the cold hard ground.
And you'll be taken to some hospital,
And there will be papers rustling and ashen voices,
But it will be too late and your bones will be wrapped up in a casket,
And you will fade into a snowy-white storm cloud.
(Ooo, I like it!)
I Tried
I tried to write a love song
The notes are sounding dull.
I tried to write a sad song
About resisting dying’s pull.
I tried to write a happy tune
But nothing’s seeming real
I tried to fly with someone’s balloon
I tried so hard to feel.
They said,
Open up they said
Talk more they said
Laugh, smile, be happier they said
Do it, just try
Like it was so damn easy
Like I just wasn't trying already
As if I was the problem
Am I?
My kind sisters, you always make me laugh.
Older or younger, we stand strong through all.
One likes dolls, one likes games, one likes giraffes.
I have so many, I love all of y’all.
Sister one, two, three, brother number one.
You all are smart, but so am I, haha!
We always like to have a ton of fun.
Sometimes we fight, and y’all say blah blah blah.
But no matter what, we love each other.
Sisters are great sometimes, other times not.
I love each one, just like I love Mother.
I have never given it so much thought.
I am glad to have sisters, I love them.
This is the end of a heartfelt poem.

Its a sonnet
(It's a really sweet poem.)

I don't know what exact situation of yours this was about, but it brought me back to a lot of my own in the most beautiful way.
I love it.
"Stay Back"
I put a spoiler on it because some people may not be comfortable with a word used in it.

This has feelings I love it. I can relate.
(Thanks.)

Thanks so much! I’m actually thinking about submitting to the Young Georgia Authors Competition. Think I should?
Go for it, man! There's no harm in trying.
Alright! When I get back to school tomorrow, I’ll tell the teacher who is in charge of that that I’m going to submit that. Thanks for the encouragement!
No problem!
