    I think it's okay for me to post these in a new thread,yeah?

    Please remember that I'm 16,and I'm not the best poet ever. So don't be overly harsh ;)

    The Sugar Rush Wavers

    I am so much more than you think,
    More than you see,
    Saturated,impregnated with hope,
    A melody deep within,
    it cuts close to the bone,
    but leaves no mark,no gaudy scars.
    I bear no hallmark of yours,
    I'm dancing to it,wondering if you can hear
    that it is my battle cry.
    Or if you even know that right now,
    at this moment in time,
    I am so totally at ease with myself,and I don't need
    You,or anyone.
    Just the melody,my battle cry,
    and poorly healed scars are seared
    only this time,on the bone. Still not as painful when contact is made
    as your teasing hovering.

    I hope it deafens you.

    Broken Promise

    A tentative step towards breaking the tenuous links
    which bound you to it.
    Flexible,agile,yet not so fast
    that you never imagined it could be so easy
    to break free.
    Engulfed by the currents of storm,
    a whistle in the wind calls you home.
    You follow,trusting it,trusting everything,
    Blind and stumbling feel your way around
    Guided only by instinct.
    Or the person you cannot see.
    Learning a new language once again,
    your tongue traces shivers and shadows it once ignored.
    New but familiar.
    And welcoming. It is gone now
    Permanently cast away into another world.
    "Not so happy,yet so much happier," that is you now.
    The weight is off your shoulders,
    and as each tentative step follows the preceding one you gain an understanding,
    A stattering insight
    into the darkness of your own heart.

    Suddenly forgetting your promise.

    The Light

    Her constant attempts to extinguish the light went unnoticed by those around her.
    All were immune to its effect on her.
    She doused it regularly,hoping she could drown it out
    Let it go out slowly,fading away

    She was unaware that they could not see
    This burden which lay heavy on her.
    So they did not know that her desperate pleas for it to falter
    drained her.

    The light was stronger than she ever knew.
    It never wavered,it wasn't fragile
    And almost like the rest of them,but in a completely different way,
    She was immune.

    She was always trying to extinguish the light which shone above her.


    Never once realising it was her.

    Poison Darts

    Strangely unalluring,oddly distracting
    poison darts flitting around
    as leaves of youth spiral down
    leaving no trail.
    This is the place I am from.
    The absence of love leaves a dark abyss
    a Herculean gap between here and there
    where you'd want to be.
    I dust the grass for the wind to carry away
    not wanting to let go of the moisture which slipped through my fingers.
    The sun is different here.
    That warm dense dampness
    enveloping me in thoughts I did not want to dream,
    a constant reminder.
    As the poison darts
    that I was supposed to be frightened of
    pass
    I passively lay down,unafraid.
    They don't pierce me. I am safe.
    I've been out here for years,superficially unharmed,
    profoundly scarred. War medals.
    I wonder now if I can allow myself the luxury of there,
    sweet intoxicating there
    where my only enemy was myself
    and I was for the most part unaware.
    Something is different now.
    Everything.
    Are they ashamed I want to go back?
    Too much change all at once,it aches,
    just as I adapt it's taken away
    but I realise now it's all fear.
    Throw all the poison darts you want,
    they'll never harm me.
    I'll never be afraid again
    of what I am.
    A hybrid. A creature of both here and there.
    Belonging everywhere.

    The Wave

    The water burst forth,wiping out everything in its path.
    Frothing foam surfaced on the sheer tide
    as wave after wave gushed through
    pushing the wooden fragments aside
    as if they were fairy dust.
    We gathered it up as much as we could,
    underestimating its momentum. Fearing I'd be carried away, I gripped on tightly,
    trying to find my way back before the floodgates truly opened.
    I didn't realise that once released,
    everything in its path would be destroyed.
    We tried our best
    but failed.
    Erecting these dams to contain this water was difficult to say the least.
    Engineers and builders,specialists of all kinds were drafted in.
    We were foolish to think that building and maintaining was the tough part.
    The water was unrelenting, tearing down the dam and continuing on,
    a steady line of devastation in its wake.
    Bitter fragments shattered like glass
    catching and distorting the light
    so that it was all illuminated and inscrutable
    leaving a chilling reflection to haunt the sky.

    Yes,we thought we had it hard. But fixing the damage after the onslaught of tears
    was harder than I'd ever imagined.

    :rolleyes:

    Oh,and these are copyrighted by the way,I have them posted both on my Deviantart and my LJ :D
