Post subject: | My poetry (and a few lyrics) |
Right, I've been wriing quite a lot of poetry recently. I find it helps me get my feelings down and express them, and I've dropped Art in school for my own Art. Well, here they are. The Falcon Wings spread, I soar How air from Human roads taking me skyward My perfect eyes drink in the sights Look, a mouse. There! I dive, wings flattened against my body Talons ready, I capture the prey Settling, I eat The life of the mouse now mine Keeping me alive for another day The Vampire - a Teaching Poem Keep one eye open, ever aware Be alert at the slightest move If you see, stand extra still Do not let them catch you Bite you, they will Their venom filling your system Changing you, your system now alien No longer Human, as you are now The hunger pangs, they'll consume The desire for blood, ever present Overwhelming, you'll try to resist But it'll be there, nagging away at you till you fail Of an antidote, we tried to find But the tech has gone, we cannot do it Live with it, you will try But estrange yourself from society, you must The Dragonrider My hands on scale, my knees on too I feel the mighty Dragon beneath me, bearing us Skyward The rush of exhilaration drowns out all thoughts Till we are soaring, Terra below us We swerve to the right, coming round in a tight circle All worries forgotten in the moment Nothing can touch us, we are invincible Anything that tries, a cinder Hanging there, beneath Heaven and Earth Peace at last That moment Free Your Mind What must I do, to free your mind? Tell me please, for I cannot do it I can equip me with the tools, but you must make the choice The Red Pill or the Blue? Your mind is trapped, held by the Matrix of Society If you step out of line, then Agents will come You'll be classed as mental, and hauled off Such is the cost of freedom Only you can make the choice, you still have free will Act, deny your programming Be who you are, not who they want you to be Only you can choose. Make the choice. So what do you all think? I've got a lot more where that came from, including Lyrics for a song and a poetic dialogue. |

Glad you liked it. Here are more: Rise up and Seize What has happened to us? Where has the urge to explore gone? We’ve let ourselves be bound, we’re not meant to live like this, My entire being screams ‘Escape!’ Society crushes me, tries squeezing me out of myself I will not let them! The drive to survive is strong, I cannot let them win. It is hard, but I shall not give in Though everyone may fall away, I shall stand Alone if I must Tyranny cannot be permitted, and I can’t permit it Though it is difficult, I’ll struggle on Regroup! Resiste! Do not let them win! Return to yourselves, rediscover who you are Oppressed since the day you were born, now is the time to seize your freedom. See it all What’s up with you, why do you hate the truth? What makes it so painful to bear? Is it that it destroys your paradigm, makes everything new? Please tell me, for I do not know My mind, it cannot comprehend you You try telling me to see the bigger picture, while you can’t see yourself Then I do, and it all becomes so clear But I can’t pull your eyes from the small section that interests you Let go, tear your eyes from it, Let your mind appreciate it all Do not focus on one small part, drink it in, Then you shall see the truth, and be free Can’t you see? WHY! Can’t you see who I am? Is it not plain to your eyes? I know myself better than you do. Where were you when my neurons developed? Can you see every thought, every memory, every experience of mine? Stop pretending, start asking, Treat me like I’m Hnau, do not judge, You cannot Grok me. Until you do so, you lack Empathy, Face it, and don’t pretend. My mind cannot be fathomed by yours, Just as I cannot fathom yours. I can’t see anything from your point of view, Because I’m not you. Can’t you face it? You’re wrong Seek the truth, see the truth Be free. (Hnau is a Malacandran term from C.S. Lewis which covers all sentient/sapient beings; Grok is another SF term which means to understand fully) Curist-Me Poetic Dialogue (Curist): What’s wrong with you? You have a disease You need a cure, you need fixing Your mind does not work right Here, let me help (Me): No, I don’t need help I don’t need a cure I’m fine as I am My mind works as it is, just differently to yours (Curist): You know, you won’t function in society as you are You’ll go to an Institution You won’t be able survive outside of one Unless… you let us help (Me): It’s part of who I am, it doesn’t need changing To change it would be to change me Have you considered the possibility that society’s flawed? Maybe you’re working for the wrong side (Curist): What about the others? Those who aren’t as able as you? You would have them suffer, locked away for their life They, unlike you, are low functioning You’d have their parents suffer (Me): Those allegations are false I don’t want anyone to suffer I’m okay with deleting negatives But leave the positives alone I Have Emotions - Lyrics Let your anger flow Straight from your heart, through the keyboard to the page Just write it out So that everyone may know how you feel So I do, and here it is My thoughts exactly, well maybe not I tried telling you it, but you didn’t listen No-one ever listens to me I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it I’m old enough now, I’ve seen the truth I don’t need your hand anymore I can make my own decisions; you don’t need to make them for me They affect me, so let me decide There are signs that times are changing Still, the wind changes slowly While it does, I still suffer I want to spread my sail and catch the winds of change [Fading away] I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it I can cope with change, despite your protestations I have emotions, despite your protestations I can cope on my own; you don’t need to hold me now I don’t need your acceptance, yet I request it [/fading away] The Lyrics may change; it's a song afterall. I'm working out a melody to it, and I'll probably post the notes when I have the tune. |

All I can say is that all your poems are really good, I dont have a favourite becuase they are all great! The Falcon one was good, and the matrix one and the dialogue one, the lyric one sounds like it should go with a Linkin Park song (great), and I like all the ones that address society and human emotions, brilliant! |

Well, I don't consider them particularly great, but that's because I'm comparing them to the other great poets here. About the lyrics: I know they sound like Linkin Park. I can imagine Chester singing them. My mum thinks I should publish them. Don't know how to do that though. |

Well, they whine a lot, though... I've got a lot of stories, but nearly all of them aren't finished. I've got one I need to finish writing the last... page or so? |

A song of Dragonrider What's up with this place? (provisional title) Everything's dying here Everyone's lying here Nothing is new here Why can't anyone see? This place is driving me insane Everything here is the same Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain I'm losing it all, losing it all... Trying to make you see Trying to make you listen to me You're so deadened to it, you don't feel it You're trying to make me fit it This place is driving me insane Everything here is the same Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain I'm losing it all, losing it all... An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind But the child of the blind will not be blind themselves This whole society needs a cornea transplant To give you back your sight, then maybe you will see This place is driving me insane Everything here is the same Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain I'm losing it all, losing it all... This place is driving me insane Everything here is the same Monotonous, boring, it's acting like a drain I'm losing it all, losing it all... That's it as it is at the moment. No tune,and the lyrics aren't totally finished. I still need to do the finishing touches. |

We should start a band. I can play the drum(ming on countertops) and you can do (air) guitar. |
