Emancipation by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Emancipation

There I lie – spreadeagle on the lake I can see everything and what it takes To be normal, to be loved, to be free But way down there, that's me I'm not the prettiest nor the most bright Yet surrounding me is light My hair is bedraggled, soaking wet My eyes are open and my jaw is set I look so peaceful, yet there's screaming The police, and rabid spectators wish they're dreaming I can't save them from their hurt While I lie there, inert That step off the cliff is obscene An act of desperation, so it seems I'm up here, and looking down If they look closer…I didn't drown I was pushed by an act of force By those I loved, of cour

Now or Never by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Now or Never

Peace is an overrated commodity We lie to ourselves, it's not necessity Yet peace of mind is demanded Forcing certain attitudes to be commended. It plays with us, thoughts of being accepted Society pulls our strings leaving us trapped It makes it hard to say the simplest things To be honest, to recognise our strings The aspects that pull us to act the way we do Yet we'll play the game, without a clue Life is a game of winners and losers We are pawns, self-made of posers We jump when we're told, no question But the day we gave in is worth a mention We stopped fighting for individuality Traded it for safety and so-called unity

Borrowed Time by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Borrowed Time

He sits alone His chin tilted, defiant You can hear his call almost a block away “Twenty cents” he cries He’s too proud to take from students Too weak, and so he begs He’ll kick away what’s thrown at him His eyes that have turned to lead His cheeks are red, whipped by the bitter cold The clothes he wears are thin Yet hour by hour, he’ll sit Waiting for someone to throw him a lifeline Those who walk by, tall, ignorant Know not of his pain They are just as bad as those who acknowledge Who tease and taunt and grudgingly extract The silver that glints in the light He’s sore, and though he

Literature

Conflict in Paradise

For every injustice in the world There is second of happiness Name your price. For every murderer, rapist or sleeze There is a lawyer willing to defend Name your price For every growing tree or dying plant There is a building or piece of road Name your price. For every McDonalds, Hungry Jacks or KFC There is a child dying from starvation Name your price For every second of truth There is a dozen lies Name your price For every glimpse of beauty There is an inconceivable darkness Name your price. This is the world we live in, If we will not fight for it, who will? If you are to lie down and give in I ask again: NAME YOUR P

Remember by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Remember

Do you remember the way things used to be? Do you realise what you meant to me? Way back when in a time that was In a time so young and full of cause Do you remember the games we played? Or the sad, tumbling forts we made? The Ninja Turtles, dolls and puppies are gone Does that make what we do now wrong? Can you remember the day we first met? The day of all days this story is set? The colour of the sky, the smell of the air Our memories have been stripped back, bare. Do you remember the fun times we had? The laughter, the tears, when I made you mad? Is it so long, that you have forgotten, Or is our relationship really that rott

Adieu by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Adieu

The cold and bitter winds of late Leave the trademark black sails wait A sudden cold and stillness within An unavoidable torment is to begin Cold as stone, unrelenting light The angels compensate this plight The hands of god, are left inert The fury, the power waiting to exert The moment of truth is now The when, the why-for the how Are all inexplicable details Made just to send you off the rail Should I stay, or should I go A song means more than I know Why argue with what is fate? Down in hell it is no mate. The winds are changing, right then left We are all leaves to be swept Struggle against the winds, the tide Or bend

Unspoken Truth by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Unspoken Truth

Thoughts have been swirling conflicted in my mind Many embarrassing moments So many with you I mighta cried If I'd had the chance it would have all come out My mouth spilling secrets louder than I'd shout. The truth of the unconfirmed the truth all about me My thoughts, opinions and dreams Flowing deeper than the sea But scariest of all truths Is my thoughts revolving around you I try to keep these hidden hoping you have no clue These truths are so unnerving so totally and utterly me It's like unlocking part of my heart Making it difficult to let you see The love reaching beyond earth Radiating out of mine eyes The want

Troubles

I'd like to think life's easy But it's hard and makes me dizzy Keeping up is the hard part When it's really not in your heart I don't know why i do this Maybe it's a hit and miss I laugh when i want to cry I smile when i want to ply I make out it's all a joke When they make fun and and poke But after years of acting I'm sick of re-enacting All the happiness and smiles It's not worth my while If they don't notice when I'm there It's like they really don't care But when I frown or ponder They act like it's a wonder Like they think I'm not me But how can I not be? I've been hiding for so long I think it's now wrong What am

Controversy by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Controversy

Will I, won't I, may I ask? Confusion clouds this simple task SHould I know but one thing Answers set my mind racing My heart, my mind, my kryptonite A raging war set to the right A scrabble game to the left My weakness lies in the cleft A single wave could knock me out I did not know you had such clout Surprise rips through my shaky heart It hurts to say I cannot part You know what's yet to come Like Depp said, "I need some rum" How to do this I do not know THe idea itself has yet to sow They say "its a dare, why worry?" If i do, I apologize, hey, I'm sorry But panic rips through my body Want to help, hey, anybody? I'm on

Love...what of it? by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Love...what of it?

Confusion, confliction, hope and doubt Screaming promises louder than I'd shout Each one more real than the last Making imagery from my past Why give into the screaming mind To fall for cupid you must be blind I've felt love, it wasn't that great Left me confused, deluded, in a state I'd like to gloss over the fact That when in love I cannot act I'm a ditz with a big smile My heart open wider than the Nile I was left weak and vulnerable Not even rejection was tolerable I was blinded by cupids arrow Now i walk straight and narrow See with your eyes and not your heart Then your pain will be not part There will be no pain or gr

Arrows 'desperation' by litcarthoume, literature

Literature

Arrows 'desperation'

Diana goddess of the moon, To you I make this croon For sake of life and death I pray you not wrath For I have been stupid And Shot by Cupid His arrow sliced my heart And now to "him" i cannot part Diana this is not such bliss For FREEDOM I truly miss I only wish that haste Makes not an anger paste For this matter is small And unworthy of your call But Diana, I pray to thee For this is but a plea I need your help, goddess divine Try not to let this problem be mine Life need not be so complicated And I know me you truly hated But this call, this plea Comes deeply from me Help me lose the arrow For I wish not the narrow

My Ether by jsnfwlr, literature

Literature

My Ether

There are many ways to kill a man But none so painful as this: To with-hold from me the treasures of your heart The ether that fuels my existence Its impossible for me to begin each day Without knowing you are at its end I cant contemplate my future without you in it I want you with me, now and always Long have I lived without you in my life Without your smile, which warms me on the coldest night Now however the thought of you by my side Gives me the strength to face each day

Subtle by soosiep, literature

Literature

Subtle

For your safety Being watched from all angles, Surveillance, CC-TV. Controlling your free will While you look on and smile How thoughtful, they're protecting You from far off mythological dangers "HUMANIZED TO TERRORISE" Bin Laden and his cohorts With fresh attacks pre-planned We've gotta step up security You've gotta give up your rights. It's taken way too far, "HOW TO SPOT A TERRORIST" He's assimilated our culture And he's running our country.

Zanarkand

0 min read

You know the place... that place that lived once, that you will always remember but the people around you can only dream about what it may have been like. That's me. I'm like Zanarkand. I don't even understand myself anymore. I know what i was like but i'm not that anymore. Can those who truly know me, believe that I don't give a damn that my hair has split ends or that i don't wear lip gloss anymore? I guess I'm just the ruins now. So cynacal (I can never spell that right) that I can't believe in things, that I just sit back and watch, semi detached. I'm on the formal committee but I don't want to go to the formal. I just don't understan

It's my party and I'll cry if i want to...

0 min read

Song from the eighties or was it the seventies? All i know is it was on the cassette (yes cassette that's how old it is) with leader of the pack, black is black, and coca cobana.... Neway... I'm not really crying.... today i got up at the usual time of 6Am, had a freezing shower, and stepped into a blanket of fog. One good thing about NSW weather? the fact that you can breath and see it condense in the air. And this can occur, like today, all the way up until wat... 10 AM? i miss my mates like crazy, but there's nothing I can physically do about that, not yet anyway, and there's more pressing and distracting matters that occupy my brain wave

Okay. So I've managed to stay of Dev art for about two months. I'm bogged down in back logging, have to learn a terms worth of work, and try to catch some sleep. No I'm not gonna rant and rave anymore, that's it... I've missed everyone here, soo much. And I'm gonna catch up and read, and view everything, just give me some time. I promise. I'm afraid I've missed two major holidays. 1. Christmas 2. New Years And I'm probably gonna forget about the next one coming up: 3. Valentines Day. Soo. I'm gonna give a great big shout out to everyone for x-mas, new years and v-day,  and hope you all had fun, will have fun and will possibly forgive
