Regular poetry thread
Regular poetry thread (because I'm tired of not editing my poems)
This is exactly what it sounds like! A thread to post poetry. I'm excited to read all of your work!

I hope I can forget you.
Forget all we got through together--
The soaring emotions
And falling lows
And laughs and tears
We shared,
Those beautiful colours.
All the secrets and surprises
And softness and warmth
As we kept each other out of the cold
And out of the reach of a cruel world.
'Lord, I hope I can forget.' I say,
A bitter smile upon my lips.
I know it's impossible,
I've never forgotten a moment of this life,
But I can still desperately try.

Argument (I don't think it's very good- let me know what you think!)
I have found my true love!
There is no such thing
I feel I could fly from above
Boy, where are your wings?
Her smile is crafty as the cougar
You are blinded by her light
She is cradled by the stars
So she causes the night
Her soul is a lion, wild and untamed
She'll rip out your heart and enjoy it
She won't go by labels, she's free and unnamed
Unlike you who will perfectly fit
The conforms of society and everything in it
You aren't the right one for her
Your life will pass by in an unfocused blur
She is destined for better things
It is she who shall be gifted her wings
And you will stand right here and watch her soar
But-
Enough! I won't discuss this anymore.

what i wish i could say
--
why are you talking to me
i don't even know your name
please don't call me out
can't you tell i'm antisocial?
can we have this conversation never?
i didn't mean that as a joke, you know, it's true-
you're annoying and loud and i don't like how close you are and the pandemic is still around, hello
ever heard of social distancing?
maybe i should tape a sign to my face: "warning. introvert. highly dangerous."
maybe i should cover myself in toxic waste or just toxic vibes, will you understand?
also? i know you're like, my friend's friend, but.
i kind of hate you
and i want to be alone right now, thank you, please go away-
please go away
please go away
pleasegoaway
pleasegoaway

idk how much i like this one; i wrote it in like 5 seconds XD
~~
please admit i love you
and that i appreciate you
and that you deserve it.
please admit that you're kind
and that you're creative
and that you're smart
and please admit i love you.
please stop making me blush
and stop giving me too many compliments
because you're so genuine that it kills me
you don't understand why i-
please admit i love you.
i suppose quoting one direction wouldn't help
even though i'm willing to admit they
do, in fact, have a song that goes perfectly
to the soundtrack of your life:
"You Don't Know You're Beautiful"
please admit
that your poem was just as good as mine
that you are a kind person and it's not wrong for you to admit it
that being kind is not a thing most people do the way you do
please admit
that i love you.

The boundries stop me
From going to far.
They are easy to break
But I cannot so they become bars.
I wish I could go,
I tried before,
But it's impossible.
So I must ignore.
Yes, before I tried to break free,
But I could never to it
Because the shaped me
So I would fear doing it.
I hated them for it
Giving me fears,
But still it didn't change,
IT's been this way for years.
I still can leave alone,
Though I left them long ago.
They still trap me within the bounds
Even so.
What do you all think?
(November 3, 2021 - 6:57 am)
Two hearts, welded together
Two souls, bound eternally
Two heads, but I then must wonder
Will really they love each other
For an eternity?
Who can say-ay-ay~
What will last forever?
Who can say-ay-ay~
Those feelings aren't to be fleeting?
Who can say~
It was always meant to be?
Because before it happens
It's only but a 'maybe.'
~~~~~~~~~~
A new song a just wrote! :)

salty rivers pouring down your cheeks
oceans of mystery hidden in your eyes
you take my hand and lean into the stars
and i know this is goodbye
(November 3, 2021 - 2:43 pm)
Wow, that sounds so cool and satisfyingly sad! I love the magical language you use!

0.1 in a Million
Is it possible
To be alone
In a world of a thousand?
To speak up when you have the courage,
But never be heard?
Is it possible
To be in the dark
In a galaxy of stars?
To try to count for something,
But always be outshined?
No matter what I try
My words come out a whisper
When they’re everything to me,
To my pride.
Am I just a cent in a hundred dollars?
My thoughts argue no
But what does it matter?
I’m part of a thousand
And I’m alone.

It feels old, stale
Tastes like bitterness faded
And grey bland-ity;
It smells like foggy skies
And dreary days,
Filled with mind-numbing ringing
In a vast abyss of smudged silence.

I am posting a poem. A poem. After I only got an honerable mention. If I hadn't got that, I would quit poetry for good.
I lost track of my time
Soon it was time to go
But I fought back
And stayed low
until they left.
They kept calling me
They who were gone
I stay because of my mother
Who calls me and makes me drawn
to her.
I see them everyday
Following me around,
The spirits that visit me
But I hide, remaining unfound
and forgotten.
Today I visit
Those who call
For they must be lonely
Beneath their graves with words scrawed
across the top.
I decide to follow
My mother to
Where ever she has gone
So she doesn't misconstrue
and think I have abandoned her.
What do you guys think? Also, admin, do you write poetry?
No, I don't write it, but I enjoy reading poetry. And I'm very impressed by the ones posted on Chatterbox and entered in our Cricket League contests.

Pancake, there's no reason to be hurt that you got an honorable mention. I did too! It doesn't mean your poems are bad. I know it's disappointing not to win, but try to focus on what Jaybells said in the judging about your poem. Even when you don't get first, entering those contests means you get lots of good feedback. Also, you've only entered.... 2 rounds right? Almost nobody wins on their second try, let alone their first. Just keep on trying! But don't give up every time you're not number 1. Because when you do (and you will) win, it makes it all that much sweeter.
(November 5, 2021 - 7:28 am)
Yeah, I know. I'm glad I got an Honerale mention, i'm just sad that I didn't win.
