PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Tranquil waters flow smoothly to a degree.
Down a winding treacherous path that is me.
My life is a delta infested with debris.
I'm salting the wounds as my tears fall free.
The river cleanses all of my insecurities.

White rapids and a barrier lie in the distance.
I'm not giving in, no matter how strong your persistence.
My shield is up and I'm in the state of resistance.
My cracked dam of a heart is leaking distress.
It feels so nice not to need anyone.
It feels so nice to be able to rest.

"I dare you player!"
Just try to get the best of me.
I'd take caution as you approach.
Cause' I'm barbed-wired and blood thirsty.
I bet you think you're the shit.
You act as if you have no regrets.

If you're ignorant,try to scale this brick wall.
Don't be afraid of getting dirty or wet.
No, I'm not looking to be caught when I fall.
Expect to loose more of your blood than sweat.
I'm a brick-house inpenetrable and strong.
You thought you were always so right.
When in truth you were so wrong.

I'm not looking for another distant lover to scold.
I'm not looking for more bittersweet memories to behold.
I'm not looking to get burned by the 3rd degee flame.
I'm not looking to get tied down or be easily tamed.
I'm not looking for something fake in this world so unreal.
I'm not looking for another soul to bandage my scars and to heal.

How can someone so young feel so old?
How can I be so kind with a heart that's so cold?
I'm not looking to get sucked in by anyone's bullshit.
Pencils down, It's time to pass in the tests.
"You've failed because you've fucked up with the best!"
In your eyes I've always knew all I ever needed to know.
Oh baby,can you remember when it started being purely for show?
Trust me I've seen,heard,and said it all too much before.

What is the definition of love?
Is anything ever real anymore?
I've grown exhausted from drowning.
Yet,I still thirst for more.

Staring at the waves I find them so persuading.
I want to plunge head-first into the barren sea.
I find your words so pointless and invading.
This sea is devoid of all life.
Like the emotion that lacks in me.
I'll be laughing as I'm beautifully suffocating.

I'm lost in a shadow of an aquatic void.
The one's I've loved I've destroyed.
I wonder if karma's really a bitch.
Will I enjoy what's coming to me?
I'm washed up on a deserted shore.
My destiny without you looks so pure.

These tranquil waters are so misleading.
Shimmering with half-hearted hopes and dreaming.
Despite the fraud,I find this steam so inspiring.
While submerged my eyes are still bleeding.
With each past turtorus day I've endured.
With each new beckoning night I'll mature.

Now I'm fully aware and I understand.
I don't need any of this sentimental trickery.
I don't need to be holding someone else's hand.
Only when I don't need you,
do you gain a sudden interest in me.
I don't need another human being.
Because aching is believing.

I see life how it really is.
How we're all too eager to please.
How a fire can start with a kiss.
How manipulation can start with a tease.
How our dreams don't come true,
no matter how hard we wish.

I see this life through shades of red.
Its dangerous how we're so easily bled.
I see how we're all diseased.
How quickly a heat can freeze.
In this world we're led to believe,
that it's easier to love than to decieve.
This just seems so backwards to me.

These tranquil waters draw you in.
Like damned mermaids enticing you to swim.
A siren's intoxicating voice or a warm comforting hand.
Taunts you from the shores of this polluted land.
The voices in your head cause you to bolt from the sand.
Without looking before you leap you jump right in.
Seagulls are circling as your death begins.

They'll be clinging to you as your stroking.
They'll be mimicking you as your choking.
They'll be laughing at you as your drowning.
They'll be waving at you as your descending.
They'll be feasting on you as your deteriorating.

These tranquil waters are an inlet to an ocean of misery.
These Tranquil waters are a form of merciless mercy.
