Suffocate me with your wishes,
burn me with your pride.
Love me with your wicked,
curse me with your eyes.
Shush,
can you hear them?
thud, thud, thudding from across the room?
They're
coming
for
me.
I swear through closed fists and breath through patched lungs.
The metal feels cold against my skin.
Temptation is calling,
can you hear them?
scream, scream, screaming from across the room?
They're
getting
closer.
I think im getting scared.
Other than that I read and write a lot. Mostly poetry and short stories. I was working on a novel for a while, but my hard drive crashed and I lost 14 chapters. School has kept me super busy lately, but I've been trying to write more. Most of my poems are about romance, and the rest are a mixture of emo-ness and just writing about daily events. I started writing when I was very little. I think about first grade. Writing has always been my outlet. A lot of people in my family are writers, so it just sorta happened.
Found this community on one of those plug communities, among the sea of posts about clothes and jewelry for sale, RPGs, and fanfiction. Just seemed to catch my eye. Hopefully it will grow. I love meeting new people. =)
Oh, and I'm a vegetarian! Dunno why I felt like adding that.
;D
I guess I'll post something right now.
I'll start with my poem, The Fire of Problems.
Millions of problems ignite in front of dispassionate eyes.
The flames of downfall burn brightly before the human race.
Billions of stares blankly misinterpret all that has gone wrong.
Some try to put out the flames, but without compassion, they are insurmountable.
All together we must smother the flames of suffering.
We must ban together, realizing the fire was our own creation.
Through hate,opression,and greed, we have ignited our hope to overcome.
Someday this fire must stop growing.
Someday, we shall put out the flsmes.
Someday all will be firefighters- working together to end the pain.
If anyone actually reads this, please critique :)
Ok, so I'm hoping that my introduction can sort of help as a guidline for people to post introductions. It doesn't have to be exactly like this, just as long as it gets across whatever you want to say.
My name is Nessa, and my Live Journal is
My other interests include the Beatles and the Monkees. I'm absolutely OBSESSED!
I started writing poetry about... 6 years ago (man, I can't believe it's been that long!) when my dad died. Most of my poems are sorta based on that. So if you're not into sad poems, I'm sorry, that's how I write 'em most of the time.
And so, that's about it from me. I hope you enjoy this community!
Oh, and if you want, check out my videos! I'm only gonna post two, the third one is a tad embarassing I believe.....
^^ Ok, now let's analyze this to help to serve as a model for the future.
Basically your post should...
1. Introduce yourself. You don't have to use your real name, just use your username if you want.
2. Tell a little about yourself. your interests, your hobbies, etc. Whatever you feel comfortable sharing.
3. Tell about your writing, Maybe when you started, who started you in writing, what kind of writing you like to do, etc. This is a poetry community, but as long as you like to write, you're fine with me :).
4. Add anything else you want to say.
AND it'd be super awesome if you could say how you found this community. That would totally help me out. :)
- Current Music:Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?- The Monkees
- Current Location:my rooooom :)
In order to explain this community, I believe I should post exactly what I wrote in the "About" section of the User Info...
Here's the story. I love poetry, and in my search for a community to post my poetry in, they all seemed a little... intimidating. There were TONS of members, and I, being knew to livejournal, wasn't sure if I was supposed to just jump in and post, or say something about myself first.
So, I decided to create this community! Trust me, don't be intimidated about joining. I think I'm practically the least intimidating person on the planet.
If you do join, please introduce yourself with a post, and then you can go poetry crazy!
As this community is just getting started, If you want to join, leave me a comment on this post. I'll post an entry about myself && all, and then you can post one about you. :)
