Fishie's Thread of Poetry

Cheesy title. I know. So sue me.

For a while I've been writing little pieces of poetry here and there and I finally decided to post my own poetry thread. Do give me your guys' opinions (both good and bad) on what you think of them.

Here's my first two:


Shadow Knight
Shadow Knight, Shadow Knight.....
My shadow comes out to me,
And starts to fight
Taking over and now in control,
I start to change and refuse to console
Into the darkness of the night
I see a reflection of myself in the mirror
With the moonlight lighting up my room,
I look closely
Mad and furious,
I punch it and break it
Flustered and Agitatated,
I break down and cry
The tears finally come out
I just cry and I want to shout

I've been holding this all in
Now I'm letting it all go
I finally let the people I trusted,
I just gave them the right to know
Crying out tears of exhaustion
And my blood pouring out renewability
I just lye down
Pondering and thinking about what I've done

I cry out to myself
Thinking that I really need some help
I see my blade looking torwards me
I stand up and walk towards it
As I'm walking there's this part that's confused
I pick up the blade
I put it back down
And I soon start to frown
Why am I not hurting myself?
Why did I stop myself?
I just.....I just let it go
I put down the blade
I walk to my bed
Alive and not dead
I start to fall asleep
Tired and reliefed
The Shadow Knight fades away
I'm back to myself
And it is time that I stay


Weak and Alone
Weak and alone,
Oh so sad
The thought of delusion
Makes me mad

Persuaded by my thoughts, trapped within my fears
The cloudy atmosphere within, makes me shed no tears
The day is young and so am I
Everytime I smile,
It is just a lie
Clumped by my pain,
Clotted by my inhumane

Weak and Alone
Destructive and Bold
Darkish Heart,
Covered Ice Cold........


What do you guys think?

Fishie dude, it seems that we have more in common than just our names.

Unless you read my mind & have lived my life to write that kind of poetry...

These two pieces cannot be thoroughly understood by everyone, but i do know what you mean.

It's a kiskass "work", even if the title is...o_O....it gives another message. I thought you'd talk about the nature ...

Great work bro. ^_^ I absolutely love your style of poetry! The way you make the lines rhyme, and the way everything flows.....I just feel like I'm floating along while i read it. There are some poems I read where I feel like I'm trying to slide down a rocky road (not the ice cream please), but with yours, I feel like I could fly. XD

The things you write about as well, they're really deep, and could be hard for some to interpret, but I understand them. They're beautiful. Straight from your heart.

I especially love this part:

Quote:
I pick up the blade

Why did I stop myself?
I just.....I just let it go
I put down the blade
I walk to my bed
Alive and not dead
I hope to see many more to come. ^_^

Uh-huh. Cheesy title, but absolutely fantastic writing.

It's quite deep and personal, isn't it? It's brave to post something like that. But really, it's great. Worded beautifully. And the emotion it projects is so strong...

Well done.

Thank you guys for your opinions. I really appreciate it. And yes Froggie, these are personal poems. I've written another one earlier today. This one is about how being an example to people that you're supposed to be a positive influence to but knowing that as a human you've made mistakes and you're being blamed for someone following in your footsteps even though you don't want them too....


No Matter
Everything you do wrong,
I'm blamed for
But to hear that you're copying me,
It straight up hurts to the core

You don't know how I feel,
You don't know what I see
Just back the **** off,
And just let me be

But I don't know what to believe,
Whether if this is an act or something real
No matter how many times you do it,
You will never know how I feel

When I hack away,
I wish the pain would just go away
Slicing through my flesh
I'm wishing that I was laid to rest
However,
Somehow I've been holding my head up
Keeping it all together
Piece by piece
I don't cut for attention
I cut for pleasure
Which is my true intention
But why do you do it?

You said that I was dumb and stupid,
You said that cutting was pathetic
But now that you're doing it
I really don't feel sympathetic

I can't tell what you're doing is fake,
By just knowing how you are,
I know times are tough
But if you look within,
Hope isn't that far

But no matter how much you do it,
The pain will still be there
Even though I am pissed at you
I will always love you and care

What do you guys think about it? (Positive and negative feedback would be nice. )

Like I said in MSN, this is absolutely fantastic. It's just so raw and emotional. Unlike alot of poetry with similar theme to this, it doesn't hide behind metaphor, which is definitely a good thing in this case.

Your writing is also very distinctive. Even if this wasn't in this thread, people would probably be able to tell that it's yours. Amazing, really. Well done.

Once again, it's like you wrote what's in my mind. Or at leasst part of it, if we exclude the cutting part. I'd probably cause a rampage or something like that.

I know what it is like to have everyone blame you even for breathing and for stuff you have nothing to do with. But that's one thing i can't understand; why do we still love them & care so much...

Another good pile o' words from the sea...deep and touching. Way to go.

Well Fishie...its..its just brilliant...its fantastic!

You have well described not only your feelings about some of your life's experience but moreover, your attitude and desire to move on...and that Fishie is golden in my opinion.

Your works were fantastic and i'm glad you notified me of your works....

bravo...

Great works, bro. They have an expressed meaning even to the uninitiated. Stories and sagas of a life expressed in rhyme and verse. Don't ever stop writing, Fishie.

Thank you guys once again for my opinions. I have four different poems I want to post right now, but instead I'll post two since I'm not liking the way the other ones are written. (Some parts of it are kinda just whack. >.<) But here's my other two...

The first one I'm sure that some of you know what this one is about. It explains how I've felt all along when I was with that person....

Afraid
The feelings that I have for you...
Have grown so strong
But something else has grown
Telling me its wrong......
I'm feeling sorry for myself,
What can I say?
I really want to be with you,
But I just cannot stay........

My heart beats for you,
Every second, every minute
But I don't deserve you,
I don't know what to do.....

We're getting closer,
As time flies by,
But if I told you happy being with you,
It would just be a lie......

I'm growing scared,
Afraid of us,
That's why I cannot be with you,
That's why I'm giving up.....

Everything is starting to get serious,
Our love as well,
Its starting to scare me,
Its not hard to tell.......

The way I act, the way I think,
I have to end this,
Faster then a blink,
Quicker then a phink
It has to end.....

Just know that I love you so much,
And just know that I always will,
I'm sorry I have to end this,
I will always love you still.......

Another one I've written has been recently. Its about going out and wanting to reach your goals. Whatever it may be and whatever you want, you just have to.....make or break.

Make or Break
Make it or break it,
Pushing myself up to the top,
Climbing up that ladder,
My body starts to drop.......

Make it or break it,
Holding on real tight,
Not giving up,
I hold on and fight.......

Make it or break it,
Starting to get tough,
No more wanting to fall.
I've had enough......

Make it or break it,
One step at a time,
Wanting to reach it,
The top can be mine.......

Make it or break it,
Bopping to the top,
Climbing back up that ladder,
My body doesn't drop
