P.S. Fantasia Should Not Have Won...Diana Should have!

[vegan_chick]

She turned away
scared and numb
there was no reason to stay
so she started to run

She felt no sadness
only fear, lonliness, and despair,
emptiness and helplessness
but she didn't really care

about tommorow or yesterday
she just wanted to get away

to run away forever
to hide from the world
rather than suffer this endeavor
she'd leave the life she knew for good

and as she was running
she couldn't help but think
so she stopped to ponder
and take a drink

and as she took out her bottle
out came instead
a picture of her parents
gone, deceased, dead

This didn't have to happen, she thought
If only the people that hit them had been taught
that DUI
costs a life or two
theyd've been more careful
if only they knew

So she spent her life
spreading the word
and she remembered her parents
and that inspired her

And she thinks of the lives
that could be saved
and she thinks of the difference
that she has made
and now she is glad
that she didn't run away

Okay those were all really good Lissa. But they were all kind of on sad topics. Anyways most poems and songs are on sad topics, uplifting topics, or topics most people really shouldn't talk about.
I think you' ve inspired me to write a poem. I'm going to try to write a good one.

I have some more happy ones at school if you want them I can post them but that's only if you want them. Otherwise I won't waste my time saving them on to a disk Hee Hee Here's another one ^__^


Always and Never
By: Melissa Paquin

I never liked you in the first place
I never to your see the stars with you
I always have loved the stars

I never have flown on a star
I always have loved your hair
I never liked you in the first place

I always have loved you
I never have seen your face before
I always have loved the stars

I never got to say I love you
I always got to see you
I never liked you in the first place

I always loved your lips
I never liked the sun
I always have loved the stars

I always have loved you
I always have loved to read
I never liked you in the first place
I always have loved the stars

Duncan. Love is where you stop saying I and start saying We. Anyways, I think people really enjoy love poems and stories and movies because they imagine themselves that way. Seriously don't you really think about it after you read a novel?

[Aurora]

hmm... your styles are all very different than mine. ^^

...makes you wonder
what's real
what's not.
you stare at her
at him
at them
you've known them forever
(or so it seems)
and yet
what's real?
doesn't seem like I know anything
about him
her
you
do I?
are you the person I think you are
or just another masquerade?
am I the person you think I am?
or am I too, another masquerade?
who are we
really?

Hmm... And here's one just written on the spot... inspired mostly by something Alastair told me once...

Look down
What do you see?
Space
the ground looks so far away...
So far away...
what would it feel like
to jump?
and know
you don't have to worry anymore
care anymore
cry anymore
in that last half-inch.
you can close your eyes
sigh
and say goodbye.

...we were talking about the grand canyon at the time...

Hmm, Alastair-kun writes awesome stuff. I've read a couple of his love poems... they're complete opposites, but they're beautiful... part of the appeal is that he wrote them in french.

And so you know- Poetry.com is like a huge scam. they do everything they say they do, but it means nothing.

[Duncan]
