Poetry

Hi, guys... Just thought I'd post a little poem... If you like
it, there's plenty more where that came from. :D
If you don’t do anything, you risk more
Things you’ll never do.
If life was a play,
You’ll have missed your cue.
We live our lives in hiding.
Terrified to let it go
Scared of all the risks
We thrust ourselves below.
Below the freezing water
Away from danger’s path
Afraid to deal with what we fear
Afraid of others’ wrath.
But what we don’t know
Is that, just maybe
Underneath the water
You’ll pay a higher fee
Can’t you see?
You’re drowning in safety!
Being killed by the walls you’ve built.
Don’t you want to be free?
Lift your head from under the water
Take a breath of chilly air
And as you gasp, you’ll realize
You’re already halfway there.
The risks you’ve avoided
All your life
It’s time to meet head on.
Let go of all your strife.
Yes, they’ll be a challenge.
But now you have the breath to face them.
Yes, there will be obstacles
But now you have the chance to erase them.
If you’d stayed under the waves
Blended in with the crowd
You’d have died without a purpose.
It’s time to live out loud.
What’s the meaning in life
If all you do is hide?
If you’d lived your life in secret
You never would have flied
Life has a purpose
It’s time you found it out
The risky part of hiding
Is drowning in your doubt.

Wow, Ellie. (Can I call you Ellie?) This was very inspiring!
Your words are true. I like to think that I am above life's
waves. :)

Yep, You can call me Ellie. XD And thanks!
Feeling... encouraged... at least enough to post another poem.
This one is a little... different?
Mirror image
in reverse
opposite of what is real
Spend too long
in the other world
and you will not know how you feel
Up is down
Down is up
in the darkness there is light
The start's the end
The end is nigh
standing still the same as flight.
And when you die
you are reborn
And where there's birth there's always death
This world will tear your soul apart
until at last
there's nothing left.

This is by a guy named Dominique Belanger. Just came across it
and wanted to share it.
My hands grow numb, they can not feel.
My eyes grow dim, can't tell what's real.
My senses die, now what's the deal.
All I can smell is hate and fear.
The voice of reason I can not hear.
My senses die, I once held dear.
My mouth fills with lies.
And my last sense dies.
Out of darkness, a light did shine.
A new cloud is born, with silver line.
Drums were beating, perfect rhythm and time.
A heart was beating, I know it was mine.
That's when I realized, I'm not very smart.
This entire time, I could feel with my heart.
With my heart's sight.
I could see the light.
With my heart, now I could smell.
The beauty of the world, from which I fell.
With my heart's senses, I could tell.
The place in which I live, is no longer hell.
With my heart's hearing, I could listen to the truth.
With my hearts voice, I could even speak it too.
My heart may cry, but it will never lie.
My heart may feel pain, but that feeling keeps me sane.
My heart may feel sorrow, but I live in the light of tomorrow.
Body and mind, forever intertwined.

Roses are Grey
Violets are Grey
I'm Colorblind.

Never
Her mind is filled with desires
And dreams she'll never achieve.
Her heart is so jam-packed
With love for people who will never love her back.
Her soul is stuffed with places that will never be home
And new landscapes she'll never roam.
But her body is set on staying home and alone
To live a life she never wanted to condone.

Roses are red,
Violets a blue,
My cape is black.
I'm Batman.
