I've Never Wanted To Be A HeroThe spotlight doesn't suit me well
Behind the scenes I'm at my best
We all dream of being super heroes
Though we don't want to take the test

A pool of blood brings me perspective
Each shallow breath drives it all home
When you're actually standing at the scene
The moment doesn't shine like chrome

One cell phone call can save a life
Pure chance can stop a fatality
Heroic evenings can be stumbled upon
Nobody dreams of the reality

Telling the family is one tough task
I'd rather run right through a wall
The shocked tears of loved ones pack a punch
I didn't ask for this at all

In this case the men lived and life went on
They carr

Another Modern TragedyConvenience makes our fingers work
Strange silence binds the tongue
We speak our minds without our mouths
These days it starts so young

Slowly but surely we've grown quiet
Our thoughts spread other ways
Old fashioned talking cramps our style
Texting is the new craze

We ignore eachother for our toys
Then use them when we talk
There's irony in there somewhere
These days its not a shock

Transmitted words leave so much out
We can't text body language
Embrace the modern tragedy
We're too far gone to salvage

Technology makes life much easier
We can't connect without it
Maybe in time we'll change that fact
Somehow I highly doubt

Growing Pains Are Part of LifeYou're not going to grow without the pain
A life without growth is dreadfully mundane
You're a fool if this lie you truly believe
It's a wonder that people can be so naive

Unexpected words can leave scars on the heart
An overload of emotions can rip things apart
Real growth takes place when things are in tatters
How you cope with the stress is what really matters

You are going to get hurt and that is a fact
The best you can do is brace for the impact
Though it hurts at the time experience makes you strong
When you're struggling these lessons will help you along

I'm aware that these words come across very blunt
But if you run and

It All Comes Out In The WashI never thought things would turn out this way
They say I should have seen it coming
I'm tired of sitting here hitting replay
I'll increase the distance as I'm running

My friends say over time the slate becomes clean
They know I've got hard questions to squash
And while my situation is far from pristine
In time it all comes out in the wash

Reality hits me like a punch in the face
My god, I hope it sends her flying
Things don't look so bad as my steps I retrace
It's nice to know I won't be the one crying

Each friend is surprised that I just let it go
Honestly, I'm quite surprised myself
In sticky situations you drown or you grow

The Screaming SilentListen to the screaming silent
Iron eyes will tell the story
Their walls tell tales of love so violent
The guilty ones aren't usually sorry

The life they live is hidden well
As the truth acts like a noose
There are some things men just don't tell
So they endure the abuse

You wouldn't think to look for them
But I know the scars are there
These tiny cracks can break a gem
When it's mentioned people stare

It happens to men of every kind
Even stoic people break
They work so hard to keep us blind
But just how much can they take

Pride keeps the battered underground
On the surface they look fine
They stand up tall when we're around

Buried AliveThe stress of life is bearable
But a plate can only hold so much
Even the strongest foundations crack
This weight breaks every crutch

Each daily worry adds to the pile
They all feed the monster in your head
The voice that whispers in your ear
That mocking laughter under your bed

Over time each day grows strenuous
It seems you live just to survive
You're heart grows heavier every day
This is what it's like to be buried alive

Friends may question your mental health
Hell, you question it every day
But can you bring yourself fall apart
Or will you push them all away

It's a dangerous place to find yourself
When searching for ans

Explosive TendenciesStrange chemicals bubble as emotions mix
Fresh volcanoes are under construction
Pressure words feed the flames as the red time bomb ticks
In good time there will be an eruption

Beneath the calm surface strained patience erodes
Mental claws tear taut restraints asunder
When the tethers are broken the mountain explodes
The resounding roar rains down like thunder

Verbal fire and brimstone smash through fragile walls
When enraged angry flames are sadistic
Vicious red foam bears down as the invader crawls
Looking back this seems quite masochistic

Self inflicted results may give birth to regret
Learning won't help if it's far too late

Suicidal SicknessI carry this note hidden in my pocket
In case my suffering has been erased
Honestly, I hope no one will ever read it
It would mean my battles have gone to waste

Every time I see them it brings me memories
The faces of those who push me through
There are times in life there are too many answers
When only questions provide rescue

They all see the weight holding my heart down
My friends and family pursue my health
It makes me feel warm knowing that they're trying
But there are some things you have to do yourself

I realize it's selfish to end my own life
But I am not sure I can push through the pain
There is a reason I havn't signed

The Romance That Cannot BeDepth is scarce in this shallow world
True romance is hard to find
And I don't mean the romanticized crap
To the truth I'm not so blind

I mean the depth my age group wants to have
But are far to wild to tame
Many get caught up in pointless ties
They play love just like a game

They don't seek the depth my insides crave
So alone I'll have to wait
Maybe I see too deep for my age
My tired heart tears at the gate

Though I see the door I can't walk through
Not until they leave the start
Maybe someday soon they'll all catch up
They'll mature inside their heart

Until then my romance just can't be
No I can't turn back the page
Once y

Musically Inspired FantasyA soothing voice rides on the breeze
It's beauty stirs the heart
The stream of words flows from the mountain
More enchanting then arcane art

Her voice gives birth to fantasy
Grand adventures fill my head
The age of dragons comes to life
Each sunset is bloody red

I can't help but feel drawn far away
Dreams of war and peace intertwine
Unknown lands are slowly brought to life
All born of a voice that is divine

Thunderous clouds attempt to sing along
But her voice cuts through their roar
They harmonize as lightning rains down
And light illuminates my core

Her haunting voice flows amongst the stars
They burn much brighter as she

Watch Out For SparksPassionate flames may leave burn marks
Some pains are hard to sooth
Keep an eye out for dancing sparks
Don't be so quick to move

A couple words could light a fire
The warmth you may not want
If you so choose to light the pyre
Don't let cold memories haunt

So be careful who you select
You might set hearts ablaze
Some past mistakes you can't correct
Sometimes the guilt just stays

If you find that your heart is yearning
Be careful what you say
Your words could leave great bridges burning
Loves not a game to play

Each choice is yours and yours alone
Some fires you may just trash
Don't let your warm heart turn to stone
Those fla

Tug Of WarMany souls have fought the war
Their emotions they have bled
The conscience tears apart the core
Unseen weight now fills my head

Stereotypes don't whisper in my ear
There is no devil on my shoulder
I'm pretty sure no angel will appear
Each tug of war makes me feel older

Two scales sit balanced in my thoughts
Each reality has its reward
It's not so easy to connect the dots
And many options sit unexplored

Eventually I'll have to make a decision
The pros and cons dance in my mind
Sometimes there's no time for precision
And every option is unrefined

The fear of screwing up holds me back
But I can't afford to fight much longer
As

Enjoy The JourneyThe journey, lives daily
Each step your own
Small words set in stone
You don't see, but taste it
Worn steps hold you up
Comfort warms the cup

The future, you chase it
Though you're there you aren't present
To others it's unpleasant
Your dream, it drives you
But you won't get there now
Recognize this somehow

Your adventure, make it yours
For better or worse
Don't watch it's perverse
Looking back, have no regrets
Actually play out your part
Lock memories in your heart

It'd be a shame, if you missed out
Too focused on the road
All five senses erode
So wake up, actually live it
Don't live on autopilot
There's no time to de

Passionate SparksTender thoughts ignite the skin
Red cheeks become a clue
The surface speaks of what's within
Feelings aren't sure what to do

Bright eyes reveal passionate sparks
Shy smiles are not sure
Racing thoughts dissect casual remarks
The suspense is pure torture

Each delicate moment lasts forever
With love there is no map
Every moment shared becomes a treasure
Little words can bridge the gap

Gentle hands want to reach out
The hearts desire is within grasp
Leaps of faith extinguish doubt
Weak hands offer the clasp

Emotions spill out like water
Walled in thoughts are finally shared
As words come out the face grows hotter
In times like

Graveyard TreasuresEach human heart contains a chest
A secret vault of untouched dreams
These bright ambitions give life zest
At least that's how it seems

These stars are there for us to reach
But some choose the moon instead
Sand writings are washed off the beach
Like dreams die when we're dead

Beneath the surface these stars rest
Nobody knows they're there
In life we have to try our best
As the graveyard doesn't share

These treasured dreams just fade away
They can't be brought to life
The living can't share their dismay
And it cuts deep like a knife

These graveyard treasures are long gone
They can't show off their true worth
What could have

Dying To LoveThere once was a day I dying to live
That same day I was dying to breathe
Deep down in my heart I'm still dying to give
In that same way I'd die to receive

There are many things that we'd like to possess
But that one thing we all want is love
Everyone has that someone they'd love to impress
And I've learned that love comes with a shove

It takes you by surprise and explodes upon impact
Then it blasts you straight off to cloud nine
That thing you once doubted you accept as a fact
In your world all the stars will align

And this warm vibrant feeling you're dying to find
Now you search for that key to your heart
You don't know where

Sick Or SaneEverything I built up slowly crumbles away
All the lights in my head have gone out
The poison within numbs my heart to the pain
A tired voice in my head starts to shout

But it just doesn't matter how loud I may scream
After all its all locked in my head
Am I fading away just like all of my dreams
Do I still breathe or am I long dead

Now my tired hands are trembling as I try to push through
Why I'm trying I no longer know
Everything I held dear is now wasting away
Should I hold on or should I let go

Am I sick in the head or is this just me
Honestly I can't tell anymore
What I do understand is that somethings not right

Stereotypical Canadian WinterBeneath pale skies the snowflakes fall
My world they slowly cover
Amongst white trees I feel so small
Cold memories I'll discover

The snow makes noise beneath my feet
Ice winds cut through my clothes
Polar bear pets provide my heat
Wet frost sits on my nose

The wild waves have frozen over
Small streams have turned to ice
Despite the cold I am a rover
Harsh winters are so nice

My wood stove keeps me warm at night
I'll sleep beneath soft furs
The orange flames are my only light
Next to me my cat purrs

The sunrise takes my breath away
Soft pinks will turn to red
Its going to snow again today
I think I'll go back to bed

Fire WomanChase down the woman cloaked in fire
She'll set your heart ablaze
You must pursue what you desire
You've been hooked by her gaze

This fiery beauty won't wait long
She's hitting life full throttle
Her engines always going strong
No time for those who dawdle

If you can catch her you'll impress
She'll race right through your life
Just who you are she will assess
Her flame is free of strife

She's got you burning up inside
You can't explain the heat
Your heart is racing, eyes are wide
She's spicy yet so sweet

That girl shall never settle down
She's hit you like heartburn
Within bright eyes you'd love to drown
Her love you'll

A World Shaking RealizationBeneath the surface a realization rocks your core
You have become the very thing that disgusts you
Over time you have become shallow and fake
So caught up in petty feuds that you lost your way

Bitter tears roll down your face as you lay on your bed
If only you were as genuine as the pain kept inside
Maybe if you work at it you could somehow change
But being a teenage girl isn't very easy these days

Eventually you calm down and begin to write a list
You methodically list all the things that are important to you
Sadly you realize that many of the things listed don't matter
Then you decide that maybe if you try being yourself you'd b

Chasing That Illusive TreasureHow does one find something hidden away
When the one who interferes is themself
Just what can you trust when yourself you betray
Can't move past using actions or stealth

This strange treasure you seek might fill the hole
It's a thing that you'd share with the world
You've got a hunger within like a starved animal
To the winds all your caution you've hurled

But no matter how hard you'd be willing to fight
The one thing you can't defeat is yourself
So until you find a way to bind yourself tight
Well I guess you won't be sharing the wealth

When you finally learn to pull yourself together
Maybe then this strange chest you'll unlock

It Won't Rain Every Day

by ~AzialSilvara, Feb 15, 2011, 7:29:30 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

The fowl weather may suit your mood
Blackened clouds might have their way
When things look bleak we tend to brood
But it won't rain every day

Personal storm clouds block your sight
Every thought you think is blue
Dreary skies hold back the warm suns light
Sometime soon it will get through

If sunlight cuts through mourning skies
It's quite likely more will follow
Rainbows will smile if the sky cries
Brilliant warmth fills hearts so hollow

Biting rain may come back for a while
Jealous storms could hide the sun
Please don't let the raindrops steal your smile
If they do you'll come undone

Though the weather may not match your mood
You can be warmed from within
If you smile then black clouds may brood
Rain can flow down your thick skin

It Won't Rain Every Dayby ~AzialSilvara

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I've had to work the last few days out in the freezing rain, and it hasn't been fun. So I figured I'd take something from that and pour it into making a poem. It doesn't really have anything to do with working in the rain, but I like how it turned out.

I wasn't really too worried about line length in this one. I focused more on rhyming and the words I wanted to work with. I like the message this poem carries too, as it is more positive then the other poems I've been writing lately.

I'd love to know what you think.
