Old-School poems. I mean, old school poems.

I wrote all of these in high school, and haven't really written poems since. Going through these again makes me think that I sound like I was some emo chick or something, and I wasn't lol I was actually happy for the most part - really!

Your life is a mess;

You wonder what went wrong

You try to forget

But it hasn't been long.

The crying never seems to stop

And the pain never goes away,

You used to be at the top

But now you begin to sway.

You feel so alone;

So empty inside.

What you have shown

Is nothing but your willing to die.

You try so hard to keep going,

But it seems you have no choice.

Your heart begins slowing

And you have no more voice.

All you do now is cry;

All you see now is death;

You begin not to try,

For the world you finally left.

This pain I feel

Deep Inside

Came from something

I could not hide.

It lives within me,

Constantly there,

Making me feel

What I dare not share.

..

This Love I feel

Deep inside,

Those hopes and dreams

Which I strive to hide.

He doesn't know;

He doesn't feel;

He doesn't care

If this is real.
..

This hurt I feel

Deep inside,

Came from days

I thought I'd die.

Where love seemed

So much further away,

And friendship seemed

To remain that day.

..

This love,

This hurt,

This pain I feel,

Are things I know

Have to be real.

But why does love

Cause so much pain?

It makes no sense -

There is no gain.

I got a friendship

I could not keep,

And for that, this

Young girl

Starts to weep.

..

One day this pain

Will go away.

But not today,

Today it will stay.

Shunning pleasures;

Self-denying.

In low spirits

As he grows.

Deeply penitent;

Love is dying.

Feels more sadness

Than he knows.

The icicles so sharp

pierce into my soul

of unconsciousness

in a way that I've 

never felt before.

Deep inside the cave

lies water so deep;

As deep as my eyes -

the color so blue.

Loneliness in my heart

holding tightly to life.

Strongly awaiting

the day when

the leaves on the trees

fly away into the sky.

So hard to concentrate,

darkness envelopes my

sight;

into a sea of nothingness.

I know sometimes you feel down

And I can't help but worry.

I know you don't like to be mothered,

but I care for you anyway.

I wish you could tell me

What you feel deep inside.

You keep so many secrets locked away;

You just don't understand how this is hurting me.

If I could read you,

What would I see?

Would I see an image

Of you and me?

I'll never know, 

Because you'll never tell.

That's what keeps you

Locked in your cell.

Why did you leave me

Without saying goodbye?

I thought we were friends.

And so this is why I worry,

And this is why I care.

But you'll never understand 

Because you will never be there.
