RuinsWe thought that it would last forever,
Praising it would never break,
Now all you see are crumbled stones
Where all past strength today seems fake.

Once our dream of glory had come true,
When this place was filled with life,
The streets were full of laughter
And the houses full of golden light.

Now where formerly we lived and loved
Time has faded all our traces,
And the earth reclaimed what once we took,
While humankind forgot our faces.

But look carefully, search with all your heart,
And you might find a trace of past:
A shard of metal, a piece of stone,
The ruin of a home that lasts.

And faded memory will be remembered,
The

MasksWith big smiles she greeted her friends,
Drowning in the crowd of people.
How many claimed to be her loved ones?
Hundreds? Thousands? She lost count long ago.

They welcomed her with jokes and laughter,
and she replied with hugs and kisses,
Pretending not to see the cracks in their masks
Or the lies in their voices.

She knew they were hiding something,
She heard the whispers behind her back,
Saw the greed behind their smiles,
And sensed their hatred long ago.

And every day she felt another part
Of her soul breaking away.

At night she tried to fix it,
Trying to reattach the broken pieces,
But as the time went by she realized
T

I Can TryI can listen to everything you have to say
And try my best to make you feel better
Make the difficult times easier for you

I can hold you close and make everything else disappear
Let you take out your anger and frustration
Promise not to go anywhere

I can tell you I won't leave you when things start to fall apart
But that doesn't mean you would do the same
When things start to get hard

I can love you with all of my heart
Miss you so much it hurts to breathe
But that won't make you come back
Make you want to be with me

I can try to convince myself that there's someone else out there for me
That you don't still own my heart

NumbWhat is this feeling?

I don't understand.

I want to explain

But I don't think I can.

Is it really true?

Am I turning this numb?

It just can't be!

I must feel some!

Why is this happening?

Why can't I feel?

Is this all just a dream

Or is all of this real?

Someone please tell me.

Please help me feel.

I'm so tired of feeling numb.

I just wanna heal.

The pain, the sorrow,

The joy, the tears.

Yes! I want all of them!

Even all the fears!

I'm so wanting,

Longing to feel again.

This curse is so haunting,

It's like a dead end.

So, if I were you,

Be glad you can feel.

Be thankful you're not numb.

At least you are real.

I KnowI know that you need space
Time away from everything
So you can find your place

I know that you still think about me
Some small thing we used to do may trigger a memory
Remind you of how things used to be

I know that you still care
You're good at hiding how you feel
But maybe something is still there

I know there are a lot of things you don't know
Life can be overwhelming
I'm sure you'll go far, though

I also know that you will always have a special place in my heart
We might not be together
Friendship may be a good place to start

A Mother's HateWhat am I to do?
Other than silently scream,
Crying tears poisoned by your hate,
And holding my hands so tight my fingers ache?

What am I to do?
When you twist my words to make them disrespectful,
When you claim I'm stupid and naïve, retarded and clueless,
And the only blood-sister I have spits out your own insults as she pleases?

What am I to do?
Other than hide online and secretly write my thoughts,
Shaking my head and staring off into space,
Standing there as you rant on and on….and on….?

What am I to do?
When you tell me you want me out,
And that you can't wait until the world ruins me?
Ruins me until I turn

It gets betterIt might not have been your day,
With the sky above turned all gray.
You might ask yourself why?
Sometimes it feels like you slightly die.

You carry this secret with you,
It might make you feel a bit blue.
You don't dare to tell another person,
Fearing your image might worsen.

Fearing of what they might think,
Fearing they might leave you in a blink
Thinking what you will say
When you will tell your parents you're gay

But the actual feeling when you tell,
Even if it might feel slightly like hell.
You know that you are now free,
And you know it will get better,
on that you can trust me.

DystopiaDirty water,
corrupted laughter,
cracked dreams,
and broken seams.

Cries in the night
as life becomes a fight
there's just no more light.

Men are trying,
women are running
children are crying
people are dying.

Let's go, he whispered.
I-It's dangerous, she stuttered.
But we can't just stay, they uttered.

Chaos roams the streets
and blood's on the ground like treats.

Dystopia never ends
as society bends.
Life shall be dystopia
and never a utopia.

The Racial EquationThe Racial Equation.

We are all born from the same =.

÷ by colour, shade and tone.

X by the errors of the past.

Only +'s to the difficulty life today.

Kela lewis-morin

then he wavedhis fingers are harp strings,
tall blades of grass, cowering with a breeze,
a howl escaping them.
the notes with the wind curve across dunes,
mountainous joints curl with each pull,

sand escapes through protective eyelashes,
spreading its wings, gritty feathers,
enveloping a woman,
wearing time on her face like a veil,

she imagines the rugged strings
vibrating against her satin fingers
are the throats of songbirds,
cut from their beaks.

her tears and soft sobs write songs for the harp
he left near a window from which she
saw him smile to her for the last time.

Oh! There Goes My HeartTap, tap go my feet
To the rhythm of this beat.

Step-step, up and down,
Twirling, leaping; where's my gown?

Clap-clap, side to side,
Let's go; I'm ready to glide.

Front, back goes the dance
I'm lost in Fairytale's trance.

Oh! There goes my heart;
The dance caused it to depart.

Well, masked prince, take care,
My heart is yours, sweet and fair.

A Letter to YouI hate this confusion,
And I can't figure it out
Figure out why I can't pull myself out of this rut

I want to say it is all your fault,
But yet I want to say it's mine,
And I just don't know,
And I hate it so much
It fills me with this outraged anger
The kind that tempts you to put your fist through a wall

I feel like because of you I can never like or love another
Or however you want to put it,
But I don't have that desire to be you
Because of all I went through with you,
And it just seemed like I never had a chance to begin with

You raised me up and basically told me that I did have a chance,
And then you dropped me and that

Invisible ChildWith arrogant strides they walk along the streets,
Stopping only to gaze at one of
These over-expensive dresses,
Or a necklace made of shining jewels,
Or to buy a sugar cake.

Never once do their eyes meet
The eyes of the little boy
Leaning against the wall of a shop,
Lost in the shadows, huddled in his coat
Covered in holes, trying to fight the cold.

Should they ever face in his direction,
They avert their gazes, some disgusted,
Some a little embarrassed maybe.
But not a word of greeting is said
To the invisible child.

With a sigh he looks down at his hat,
Placed carefully in front of him,
A silent plea for a spare coin,
Unh

I Was WrongMaybe I was wrong
You don't need me
That's why you left

I'm the one that needs you

I don't feel the need to change myself to make you want me again
If who I am isn't good enough, then maybe I'm better off alone

I wish things could go back to being like they were
Me and you
Fitting perfectly together
Letting everything disappear

I know I'm young
People tell me I'll find someone else
Someone better
That I'll love again
But I don't know if I can be that open with anyone other than you
I'm too guarded
And besides
I have trouble seeing myself with anyone but
You

I know how to be strong and that I shouldn't let one relationship

RebirthThe ravage comes to plea defeat,
Pride's old throne, an empty seat.
Once inked paper now found bare,
As my muse's whispers now turn rare.

Questions sent to looming corners,
Treading blindly to tear down barriers.
I must look like the losing warrior,
Thrust in battle without an armor.

Inspirations seeped from dry wells,
Like squeezing flame from a million hells.
The spill of flow embedded in night,
My soul's sanctuary trapped in fright.

The stars of hope flicker far,
Watching me grovel in this hour.
A fool I was to deafly pretend,
A blank canvas would never descend.

Yet in these spells of solid bind,
Are plenty gold and treasu

Invincible

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

They say that I can't last much longer,
Grinning as I scream in pain
And laughing as I gasp for air.
But they won't reach their goal.

"Daddy, you'll be back, won't you?"
Her words still echo in my head,
A piece of happiness I keep within.
"Of course, my angel. Sooner than you'd think."

Darkness embraces my consciousness,
And every breath becomes a struggle,
But still I hear her worried voice.
"Promise?" she asks. "Promise." I answer.

And as I lie here on the floor,
Beaten, bloody, and alone,
I feel my heart beating in my chest,
Fighting to fulfill my promise.

"But how can you know?" she calls
As I'm halfway out the door.
I smile as I bend down to hug her.
"for you I'll be invincible."

And though my world is made of pain,
And my blood seems caught on fire,
I draw one breath after another,
And know that I'll return alive.
