My rather silly try at poetry

The titel says it all :)

[poetryorsmth]

Staring at the clock It's barley nine Are you living Or just waiting for time to die?

[poetryorsmth]

I know I'm young Probably dumb But my mind is rotten And the future forgotten

[poetryorsmth]

Everything is fine

Reality is creeping in Like a blinding, clear slimy little thing The world is dripping, showily fading Shut your eyes tight Pray the sun isn't about to rise

Why do I have to wake up? Don't you know our world is fucked? So just let me rest a little why Enjoying this little lie

Staring at the clock It's barley nine Are you living Or just waiting for time to die?

I don't want to get up Can't you see our world is fucked So just leave me here to die Enjoying my little lie

everything is fine Everything is fine

A chance?

This is a chance Or that's what I've been told All the stress, pain and sorrow will pay of Right in the line is the only place your life will have any worth

But nothing is guaranteed except for mankind's greed Money doesn't buy happiness, but we swear this isn't pointless I don't know why I believe them May because I need someone to believe in And I'm pretty sure doesn't remember my name

So I come back everyday just to get my grades One day I'll go to work only to get paid Still wondering if this is actually a chance or just another golden cage

Where have you gone?

Head empty, dark, nothing I can't see you anymore Yet I can still hear your knock at the door From back when we were four Now I'm eighteen and question what this is for?

Drinking cheap whine, pretending we're fine Rebelling against everything we find Listening to angry music all day Hoping it'll drown out the sorrows of yesterday

Where have you gone? Will you ever return? Am I ment to look for you in the dark Or was I ment to bring a flashlight at the start?

Where have you gone? Please just return It's hard to go on When everytime I reach out, there's nothing to be found

[poetryorsmth]

Tell me am I ahead or running late? Because if I'm right where I belong Why do I still feel alone?

[poetryorsmth]

A queer feeling

When you take my hand The sky is clear again Never knew it could be like this I don't wanna be his

Can't believe this is friendship Doesn't seem like anyone else's I don't want your pleasantries Darling I need your lips

[poetryorsmth]

Feels like everyone got a solid plan But mine was written into sand The tides are coming in I'm surviving by the skin of my teeth.

[poetryorsmth]

I just wanna run away I just want to listen to music all day Let the sound drown out the sorrow of yesterday

When you grown up You'll be working all day You'll be working to get paid You'll be working towards a future that has been erased

I'm just a narcotic nonconformer A burned out kid Trying to deal with all the shit that's been thrown at me.

[poetryorsmth]

Barley even notice totally out of focus Like a view out of a moving car Never quite clear always too far I want you touch But I don't even know the sound of your laugh Never quite enough

[poetryorsmth]

The world doesn't care about me Still I'm supposed to change everything

[poetryorsmth]

Morning sun

It's a shame, it's a shame you ended up in this place It's a shame it's a shame you think you're unable to change Because the sun will rise again I don't know how I don't know when But if you take life one step at a time I promise one day you'll be able to see the morning sun shine

[poetryorsmth]

It's a shame

We are waiting for the next news Because their pain is just a another story to us The next thing will come along And we'll forget their sorrows.

I know it's wrong, but im desensitized to the point of apathy Casually betting on the next tragedy

Because at the end of the day we're all save in our house Yet we still feel the need to be loud Doing the bare minimum to rid us off this guilt Not knowing what any of this means

It's too hard to care about the world all the time So we just close our eyes and pretend every thing is fine

And we'll say it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame the world is this way. Yet none of us are willing to change

It's a shame it's a shame its a shame the world is this way, still we all stay the same

Fame

The silence lays thick in the air tonight It's getting deafeningly loud I can never escape these doubts How am I supposed to believe everything is alright?

David is singing in the background I wish I could inspire a crowd Maybe then I would be found But instead I drown in the sounds

I'm never satisfied enough to stay I wish I could burn bright Instead I silently fade away But I'm terrified of the spotlight

It wouldn't kill me to try now and then I don't know why I can't just get it right Feels like running out of time It's inevitable that every song must end

Not part of the poem: This turned out sadder than I thought I swear that I am in fact fine and just a dramatic bitch... Just felt the need to clarify this here.

Music and politics

Don't trust the people on TV: They'll sell you a dream, but limit all your own ideas. Don't turn on the news: There's no point, it's all the same anyway. We've all heard the tale of people not agreeing before. Humanities biggest downfall seems to be our massive egos.

I'm just wondering if they don't know, that even though they might not life to see what the future holds, they're still creating the world in which they're kids will have to grow old.

But I'm done sulking. Because if I give up I am not better than all of the people who don't seem to care enough. I know times are rough and the world might be fucked, but I will still start to sing a song. And if you sing along. At the very least we don't have to be alone.

[poetryorsmth]

Maybe we should all stop waiting for live to begin and instead start living.

Staring out the window Asking what is this for? But it's all the same Such a boring game Wish I could restart And reach for the stars
