		you are all missing the one quality that makes it true teen angst poetry. every poem should end with the line,"i hate my parent". otherwise you are all spot on.
	 
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them. 
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

		I wrote this back in May. I'm not really particularly happy with it other than a few lines. And the message. It's kind of weird. I don't ever write like this either. It the typical poetic style. Usually when I need to write, I end up just writing whatever is in my mind.
 
 
 
 
 what if everyone you knew turned their back.
 tempted to cry but just felt a lack.
 stood around wanting more.
 feeling cheated, feeling sore.
 you felt you did so much good.
 you felt you did it all right.
 you sat alone each and every night.
 realize that everyone you knew was just a glimpse,
 of what you thought you knew.
 who could tell.
 who knew.
 that they all were better for not knowing you.
 so as you lay there,
 cold.
 dead.
 you now know that everyone really never knew you.

		I haven't written anything in almost a year now. I actually recently, just this week to be exact. I started thinking of writing and had a few ideas, i just wrote this after I read this post. It's nothing great but just an idea I been pondering a couple days and wrote it down without really thinking. So don't be to critical I know I can do better.
 A Single Rose In hell
 
 In the bowels of darkness
 Lay a single shred of hope
 To prove it was not meaningless
 To never give up hope
 
 A single rose grows in hell
 Brimming with all its beauty
 Locked inside a closed cell
 To protect it for its duty
 
 Yet why in such agony
 Would a flower choose to grow?
 Perhaps it was its delicasy
 And power to let love flow
 
 For if in hell could grow a rose
 And plant itself so deep
 Then hope would it give to those
 And never let them weep
 
 And if such beauty could defy
 The unbounded trials of hell
 Then never will the reliance decay
 Of the countless souls who
 See a single rose grow in hell

		Not a huge fan of poetry, but I have read some stuff, like Yeat's The Falconer, that were pretty cool.  And I'm really impressed by what I've seen here. Gonzo, if that's off the top of your head, I can only imagine what happens when you put effort into it.  And Spit, have you found a band to perform any of your songs yet? 
 I've had so many ideas for stories, but just never had the time or commitment to write any of them.  Guess you could call "Famous Author" a fall-back career. :lol:

		4-5-02
 all of this life is a dream that i can see beyond, taking it in stride, i'm not one to flee
 my pain is an illusion
 conjured up from within me. covering up the truth that cries…
 let me out
 let me out
 i suppress the pain with your words which cut through my brain and take hold of my heart. my seemingly endless nights blending into even longer days which can only be quelled by the addiction called you.

		good stuff VG, maymay and gonzo 
heres some more (yes i know i stole 2 lines from lennon in this one    )....
 
we met and sparks were many 
new lust turned to love turns to complacency 
time takes its toll on fantasy 
life is what happens 
when your busy making other plans 
what once was new has now grown rough 
new friends to lovers to old friends 
what once was pleasure is now commonplace 
i find my pleasure in others now 
what might have been 
what was 
goodbye

		close to Maymay's but written last summer:
 
 Why can't life be a dream
 oh, to only exist in someone's
 warped imagination
 a reason for this cruel joke
 of a life, to live
 in someone's subconscious mind
 when they wake I'll be gone...
 
 WAKE UP!
 but they hit snooze
 again
 stuck here..
 can't break away
 won't fade away
 to a more tranquil
 plane of existence
 
 oh yeah, and then I can shoot
 my parents :lol:

		It's Friday night and she's on her back, Screaming and grunting,
 Like the two head Yack.
 
 Put it in her mouth or in her ass,
 Then kick her out the door,
 Cause you got no class.

		Restless bodies stir and swirl.Moonlight slashes through the night ink
 And finds...
 
 A memory
 Not from one, but many
 That cried out against something,
 Anything,
 And faded into the darkness
 Found only in
 
 A memory.
