For You

If I have to,
I will wait
More than a thousand years
Just for you.

If I have to,
I will watch you
And catch you
When you fall.
And take the blame.
Just for you.

If I have to,
I will give you what you need
Be it someone else,
Or myself.
I will, just for you.

I would give you up,
If you want.
I would stay with you
For eternity
Just for you.

You ask me why
I’d sacrifice
Myself to you.

I would wait all my life,
For you to come to me
But even then,
I’d let you go
Because I can, and I will.
Because I love you.

*cries from joy* that was beautiful!!!!

Hmm. That's a little bit of an understatement.

what would you say about it???

What it’s Like

You can’t know.
This pain I feel.
But I will try
To explain it for you.

You are here
At the base of a mountain.
This mountain is life.
And there are chains on you,
Pulling you back.
This is called peer pressure.

And while you struggle
To climb this mountain,
There is a beautiful thing
That flies by your face.

It blinds you,
Kills you
And awakes you.
And you fall in love with it.

You try to chase this perfect thing
But the chains hold you back.
The mountain shakes with depression
And it thrown you off its face.

You fall into a dark abyss
Named sadness
As you remember the name
Of this perfect thing
That saved you soul
And ruined it.

So all you can do
Is let the tide of pain
Wash over you
And wait for this perfect thing
To come flying back again.

Yet you know
That you fear
If it ever will return
If it ever will come back to you.

you are absolutely a spectacular writer.

Thanks. go on! post some poem of your own! I can't be just the only poster!

no i'm really bad at writing anything!!! especially poems....

haha! You should have seen my earlier stories. Oh god save me....>.< Just try!

they were probably fine!!!! they would probably still be good just not as good as the ones you write now. no i don't think so...... they would probably scare people away.

One of the comments I remember, posted after one of my favorite earlier ones, was

"Yay illiteracy! ^_^"

Litterally, thats what they said. Try.

wow, lol. i don't know........ only if other people try to.

I did. so go on. pwease?

Haha. *joins in* Yeah, go Dreamer!! You can do it!! *jumps back into corner* I do not exist! You cannot see me....

sure...... *slowly backs away* nope i'm not even going to try. i suck at writing.

*pulls out brain notepad* *flips through memories/pages* *cough*

"Girl saves friend from falling off her bike, without even touching friend. Girl has strange dream of falling, and falls into a completely blank place. There's nothing. All withe around her. She almost dies, but a cute guy saves her from falling. Stop your falling word, "stopia". "

That's only the beginning. You should have seen the actual writing of it. Now that I have embarrassed myself, in front of many people, will you write a poem? Please, it would do me much honor.

that's funny!!!

*blushes, but smiles* None of us are really born great. And if you really want to know something worse, my spelling was horrible. This was two years ago as well. Now, I think I'm a TON better. But go on! Try! Please?

that's true but i didn't grow up great either....... so you can just amaze us with your fantastic writing skills.

*blush* Well I...heh heh, I'm not amazing... Just try, please. Really. Dont make me get on my knees. I dislocated my knee cap, it'll be painful. And my mom will take away my computer cause she will think I'm not exercising the muscles enough. T_T

ya you are!! don't pretend you're not!!! ouch, that sucks.

Haha. C'mon. Just try it. I mean, seriously. I actually... might... make one too.... *cough*(short)

you should. you're a pretty good writer yourself.

*jumps in randomly* Hey there! I'll right a poem. *backs away* But only if you post one first!

Writer. Not poeter. Or whatever poet-writer people are called... Poets! That's it! I'm a writer, not a poet.
