This was a poem that I wrote for my Creative Writing class and it's pretty much the only one out of 5 that I'm really geeked about. I've decided that writing poetry is just not my thing...I think I'm better with lyrics. Who knows...regardlesss, here is the peom.

Streets

Somewhere in the fragments of the Mind

Lost.
A four letter word
Existing only from an absence
Lost.
No where to go
Wandering feet lead astray to these familiar streets
Lost.
Longing to go back to everything comfortable, secure, understood
I’m searching through this distance
Lost.
Pleading for some resolution
In this tangled web of confusion
Lost.

But I can’t find the answer
There’s no voice in this darkness.
Silence.

Fear.
A four letter word
Existing only from an absence
Fear.
No where to go
Except these familiar streets once again
Fear.
Longing to go back to everything comfortable, secure, understood
I’m clinging to the past
Fear.
Screaming for protection
From this terrifying darkness
Fear.

This crippling disease
Leads me to my knees
on these memorized streets.
I hear an answer
A voice cries out in the darkness.
Listen.

Find Me in the shadows of your Heart

Corner.

I told myself this is all a bad dream
it will all soon be over
Pull the covers over your face again
it will all dissappear

But memories circle in my head
repeating what was said
So I stumble out of bed
and wish it all would end

I've told myself this is all about me
you're just not good enough
Look at the figure staring back at you
it was all because of you

And memories circle in my head
reminding me what I said
So I crumple to the ground
fighting accusations in my head

If only you were prettier, skinnier
If only you were just like her
If only you were greater at, more like that
If only you had said those words

If only, if only ( x)

Yeah the memories circle in my head
repeating what went wrong
Oh my heart is screaming
if only you could just go back

I've told myself all of these wasted things
would make my dreams come true
But I've painted myself into a pretty little black and wasted
Corner.
