The Informal Poetry Contest (Starting 2nd October)

The same turns,
The same claw piercing my heart.
It makes me realize I've been here before.

The same restless feeling,
The same biting cuts.
I don't want to go down this road anymore.

The same hopeless tears,
The same confusing fears.
I'm chained once again to my own misery.

The same selfhating thoughts,
The same dead end.
All this brings is selfdestruction.

I should have never came here.

Wake up,
get out of bed,
and open the curtains.
Greet the day,
with a smile and a wave.

You deserve someone better than me,
You shouldn't burden yourself with looking after this mess.
Try to concentrate on what's really important in life,
This shy heart isn't worth it for your time to invest.

Just go on and leave this all behind.
I don't want to be the one to keep you from your plans.
Cut all these fragile strings between us,
And start following your dreams, the ones that do make sense.

And maybe thirty years from now,
When both our hair has turned grey,
We will meet again with tears in our eyes.
You'll be living happily and I won't understand why.

But for now, just leave me alone,
Because it kills me to watch you walk away.
And I'm so very sorry if this is breaking you too,
But I hope you'll see it at the end of this day.

You deserve better than me...

Let everything fade as you fall into the deep blue sea.
Let the water take your worries, fears and sorrows.
Swim as if you're flying
and reach towards the sky.

Don't worry, everything's going to be alright.
Take a break, you've been swimming against the tide
for far too long now.

Let the water hold you up.
We'll make sure you don't drown.
You can cry if you need to;
We'll take care of you.

Let the ocean cleanse your tears
and wash away all your fears.
Everything's going to be alright.

Take that leap that you've been wanting to take.
We'll catch you if you fall,
but we know you'll soar
higher than you did before.

Don't worry, everything'll be alright.
Just float in the ocean
and let us hold you up.
It's going to be alright.

Once there was someone who,
looked,
saw,
and wished.

And someone heard,
listened,
and granted.

And then the world changed.

The wish wove itself into the world's fabric
and the wisher's 'heart' became the core of the world.
The granter guarded and
watched over the wisher's children.
