A Child's Plea
We're all huddled in a small roomHoping and prayingThat the shooter will go awayWe can hear the blast of the guns children screamingAgonizing wailsSmell of death surrounds usWe're all petrifiedOur brains and hearts are racingWe're all waiting for the "all clear"Hoping that this nightmare will endbut it will never end because no one is doing anything to make it endThe world is horriblefor childrenAdults have gone insaneEvery day we live the consequences of their deranged actionsPeople are screaming “lock down"Shelter in placeThe mad gunman continueshis death march unabated Children dying left and rightDoes anyone even care?It certainly doesn’t feel like itIt's enough to make anyone go insaneOur lives had just begunand at any moment they may endBlood soaks the halls and slowlyseeps underneath the classroom doorInsanity and violence are running rampantMore adults are pushing children downthen helping themObviously, it’s everyone for themselvesSuch a shame we had to learn this at sucha young and tender ageStill the gun blast is heardPermanent damage is being doneTo everyone.I’m not sure if it’s betterto live or dieEither way the scars will last foreverStay within us and perhaps one day bring more madness into this worldStill we can hear the blastsit sounds like they are surrounding usLike all the adults are now shooting Sound echos down the hallsThe cries of my fellow classmates are unbearable.I’m 10...and I’ll probably die todayjust because so many adults are filled with rage!

Ghostly Mostly
The figure lay on the cold marble floor Portraits stared vacantly each was expecting more Nothing had been mastered even from these sacred scrolls And the whisper that had silenced us had been heard so long before Seek repentance now for it is just outside these doors All that you refuse to see is what you're searching for What are you doing there hovering above my stairs? Why is that gun in your hand? You died seven years ago Why do you haunt me, so? Your suicide devastated me Now, here you are again to terrify me I hear your voice flowing faintly through the air Whispering: “It’s time, follow me there” I grab my gun and pull the trigger Not at myself but at your ghostly figure I hear your laughter as your form slowly fades from view “I'll be back again,” you say “Back to collect my dues” Clouds are dark The winds are high Cold voices beckoning me to the other side My heart has grown wearyIt strains and torments me with every beatA flash of a temporary lifefrolicking unaware or unconcernedof the impending stormsBeneath monstrous gray clouds set to explodeWhen will it all be extinguished?Who will be left to remember? Perhaps one day there will come a gentle rain that will awaken us from our slumber Cleansing us of all the slime, filth, grime, dust and decay...

The Future of Us
You and I
From the beginning, from the start
Have been drawn together only to be pulled apart
You and I
From the beginning to the end
Have been separated reluctantly, leaving as friends
You and I
We've had good times we've spent
Is it really true that all good things must end?
And so I began thinking, as one does
About the questionable future of us
Day in, day out, without a sound
I've thought about us, and here's what I've found
I've come to the conclusion that though you have to leave today
And although you may forget me, though hopefully you won't, I pray
Maybe, perhaps we can meet again someday
And get to know each other again
You and I

Literature
Love.Hate.
Emotions, feelings created within
The facts the swirl around
I love you,
I hate you,
I can't stand to be around you!
Why do I have to feel this way?
I thought I hated you
With all that's inside my heart
But now I'm wornderin'
Comtemplating why
Why I feel this way around you.
I guess it's irony
Or just chance,
But I'm pretty sure
I'm starting to feel a little something more
Than just hate.
Who knew?
Knew that all the insults spat back and fourth
Would make my heart jump
And my mind tell me to strive to talk to you
Who knew
That right now,
I'd struggle to keep you off my mind.

Dark Side
It's creeping up again
Both in daylight and the dark
Who'll set it off now?  How and when?
Attacks as unpredictable as a shark
The more I hunger, the more I thirst
The more this madness becomes worse and worse
Blinding rage that I can't control
It's gotta get out or it'll swallow me whole!
This is me when you turn off the light
This is the seed which from darkness did sprout
Another side of the smile, silent, out of sight
How do you like me now?!
I want to rip off this mask that's holding me down
All my life I've been thrown around
Kept a straight face and stayed in line
While people around me just cut in and took what's mine
Constant verbal abuse for entertainment
Fostered a deep bitter resentment
All the tears and the anguish that I've never showed
Are building up, restless, about to explode!
This is me when you turn off the light
This is the seed which from darkness did sprout
Another side of the smile, silent, out of sight
How do you like me now?!

Memories
"In pain I'm dying inside"
My poem stands tall line by line
This night shall wait for my tide
The sorrow's empty and all mine.
- I'm fine.
This moment we're at,
It will never come back.
It is time to kiss and pat.
Loving still, stalking the pack.
- memories intact.
This memory's lanes are doom.
All the way to the green moon.
The curtain's poisonous boom
Shall reach me soon, soon.
- in the shallow night's gloom.
"But here I stand with time"
My poem lost in every line.
Here alone I try and whine
I try to reach out for a sign…
- that you were meant to be mine…
…yet it's fine…
…yet it's fine.

Beliefs
What we believe isn’t always true.
People lie.
Think it’s helpful.
But that ends up hurting is more.
 
we sometimes have false beliefs.
Things that can’t be proven true.
Some are dreams, hopes and wishes.
Others are just lies.

Alright then, sorry this is late, but BeautifulAdmiration is the winner of the last contest. This month's theme is lying, and details will be where they always have been. We need admins. It's been said before, but it's true.
With love,
