TRUTH OR DARE (and more) discussion

It's hard for girls like us
We don't know who we trust
Not even the ones we love
'Cause they don't know
Stuck here
Stuck here in these waters
So sick to my stomach
Is anybody there?
Red lights
Red lights in the darkness
Everyone's so heartless
Does anybody care?
It's so hard to explain
With your heart in a cage
Only whisper but you wanna shout
'Cause the second you wake
Too much pressure to take
Every part of you wants to cry out
It's hard for girls like us
We don't know who we trust
Not even the ones we love
'Cause they don't know
Try to numb this pain
'Cause we don't wanna get hurt again
Left alone out in the rain
They don't know
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I don't see beautiful
Staring back at me
Watching, watching my heart bleed out
Trying not to freak out
It's hard for girls like us
We don't know who we trust
Not even the ones we love
'Cause they don't know
Try to numb this pain
'Cause we don't wanna get hurt again
Left alone out in the rain
They don't know
It's hard for us
For girls like us
Girls like us
They don't know
It's hard for us
For girls like us
Girls like us
They don't know
So, oh
And the worst part is
When they smile like this
And it hits me hard
Hits me hard
Tryna play it cool
But inside I'm bruised
And it breaks my heart
Breaks my heart
It's hard for all of us
We don't know who we trust
Not even the ones we love
They don't know
Try to numb this pain
'Cause we don't wanna get hurt again
Left alone out in the rain
They don't know
It's hard for us
For girls like us (girls like us)
Girls like us
They don't know
It's hard for us (oh no)
For girls like us (girls like us)
Girls like us
They don't know

I feel like hip hop
Used to be a voice for the voiceless
And now it's become, at least in the mainstream
A symbol of misogyny, gay panic, fiscal irresponsibility
So I figure
If you can't beat 'em
Join 'em
Hittin' the club up VIP
I got a fake mustache and a fake ID
I look like Wooly Willy
With a really wooly willy
And I bypass the bouncer
Pass by an ex and I flex and bounce her, wowser
Look at all of Bo's hoes
Looking for a ride on Bo's hose
And I spot a little Latino, booty so big call it Oprah's ego
We go to it, through it, she says, "Dios mio mi amigo!"
Pull it out, stick it in your mouth, and I bust in the back of ya
Swallow bitch, there's people starving in Africa!
Single every single day
Do it every single way
Make the single ladies say
Oooh Bo
And if I were gay
Though I swear I'm straight
I'd make them fellas say...
You're an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top
But careful, cherry, 'cause I'm the King of Pop
Pop pop pop goes my weasel
Now ya looking like Jackson Pollock's easel
My suggestion is
You don't blow 'til you know what congestion is
Swallow when you know what digestion is
Follow Bo, the only question is
Have you been splattered before
By the mad-hatter matador?
Cake-batter never more
It don't matter whether you're
Spanish, French, Swedish or Cambodian
I'll slime you so hard you could be on Nickelodeon
Single every single day
Do it every single way
Make the single ladies say
Oooh Bo
And if I were gay,
Though I swear I'm straight
I'd make them fellas say
Oooh Bo
Oh Bo-o, ooh Bo, Bo
A-a-Oooh Bo, Oooh Bo, Oooh Bo
You think that you can handle me?
Girl, don't make me laugh
I said my junk is bipolar
It will split you in half (yea)
And if you're lucky
I might just bring you home
And I'll have you going down
Like you're growin' an extra chromosome
And when you love me
Don't grab me by the buns
'Cause I got a bad case of the ruunnnns
I got the runs
I got the ru-u-u-uuuns
Single every single day
Do it every single way
Make the single ladies say
Oooh Bo
And if I were gay
Though I swear I'm straight
I'd make them fellas say
Oooh Bo
I wanna break it down for ya'll
I came from the streets, with nothin'
Now I'm makin' hit records
For my people still livin' in the streets
Still livin' in poverty, I wanna tell you
I'm doin' this for you
My success is your success
And I know you may be thinkin'
Hey, if you really believe that
Why don't you use some of your money
To help rebuild the neighborhood
Instead of putting spinning rims on a gold jet ski?
And to that I say (uh, chorus is comin' out)
Single every single day
Do it every single way
Make the single ladies say
Oooh Bo
And if I were gay
Though I swear I'm straight
I'd make them fellas say
Ugh Ugh!
You gotta fume like a tuna
I'll smell ya later
I met a fat chick
And fucked her in an elevator
It was wrong on so many levels
It was wrong on so many le-le-le-levels
It was wrong on

RECESS

jacob and emily sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
first came love
then came marriage
then came a stale and empty life
as a result if the societal pressures
to wed which led
to a semi-public affair and a severe
case of alcoholism
mixed with mental illness
followed by a grueling 2-year divorce
that damaged the kids emotionally
and left everyone without
a sense of direction or self-worth.

Half poem half riddle ig, anyway...

Should I stay
Or should I go?
One word
Could change my mind
But the wrong one
I die
A game of hangman
1 word
4 letters
Guess wrong
Someone gets hung
Guess right
You save a life

BFF

Lonely's been my bestest friend
for as long as i remember.
he gets a little clingy,
especially mid-to-late December.
but Lonely's always been there
every single time i've cried.
through all the downs and heartaches,
he's never left my side.
even when i hide away
where no one else can see me,
lonely is my bestest friend
'cause lonely never leaves me

BEST

everyone tells me i deserve better.
i know i deserve better.
but i don't want better.
i want you.

HIDE Aja this one is for you

everyone's asking if i'm okay.
the truth is i'm always feeling this way.
i'm just having a hard time disguising it today.

ANXIETY

there isn't a cause that you could explain,
but i'll claw my way in like a cat in the rain.

i don't pretend to make much sense,
but i'll twist up your nerves like a barbed-wired fence.

if you find yourself without a qualm,
i'll send chills up your spine with my icy palm.

although your whole to-do list is ticked,
i'll set fire to your cheeks like a match to a wick.

no matter the time or the month or the season,
i'll ruin your day without rhyme or reason.

i love these poems so much. not because i relate to them

MATCH

sometimes you need to pick yourself up,
brush yourself off,
take a good long look in the mirror
and ask yourself,
"would i swipe right?"

DEVIATED

these nights are awfully boring
without your awful snoring.

SHH

good things happen when your mind is silent;
thinking has never done me any good.

FLIES

they told me "you'd catch more flies with honey."
but i don't want to catch flies.

i want to kill them.

TEASE

if a guy doesn't answer your texts for three years
does it mean he's not interested
or is he just playing hard to got?
whatever, i don't mind taking it slow.

ARMS

your embrace was once my safety blanket,
swaddled so tight and snug.
encompassed in security,
i could die inside you hug.


your embrace is now a straightjacket,
so tight i can't move.
it's holding me together but
i'll die in a padded room.

GONE

i don't fear death.
i fear the end of all my thoughts and dreams
that will disappear into nothingness when i die.

OCD

i'm not the best at organizing thoughts,
but no ones better at organizing pots.

i'm ineffective at handling stress,
but i'm an expert at handling mess.

life is kinda tough to handle,
but it's a breeze to dust a mantel.

the fear of losing control is mighty,
but at least your closet's clean and tidy.

GIFT

i know it hurt your feelings when i returned what you
called presents
i wish that i could keep them, but they remind me of
your presence.

FATE

if opposites attract my soulmates going to be
funny, easygoing, charming, attractive, exciting,
adventurous, affectionate, amiable. courageous,
intelligent, rational, affable, brave, humble, neat,
well-tempered, patient, polite, confident, sensible,
emotionally stable, and just an all-around gem.

lucky me!

ANSWER

We ask ourselves, from the womb to grave,
What are the secrets to life?
Have we created love to save
Ourselves from the unwavering strife?
Why bare the pain of childbirth
Just to fade and wither away?
Why were we put on this earth
If we aren’t allowed to stay?
Why do we read books and learn
Just to forget when we are dead?
Why is it we so anxiously squirm
Ans await that day with dread?
Furthermore, who put us here?
But more importantly why?
“I’ll live forever!” is insincere,
But alas, we’ll always try.
Some will seek the fountain of youth
To reverse the sign of age.
Some will search for unholy truth
with séance and sage.
Others want the holy grail
Or, maybe, just the quest.
But all of them will surely fail
And expire like the rest.
That is all a myth of course-
Just stories! It’s all a lie!
The secret to life(from a reliable source)
Is simply, just don’t die.

(wikipedia)

LA

You’re gonna miss me every time It rains
In this town that floods from lack of drains.
The storms here are light and very rare
So the city streets are unprepared.
But you and me, we like the water
And the eerie chill that comes thereafter.
So7 when I’m gone, and you’re stuck in traffic
And all the drivers start to panic
‘cause they’re paralyzed by soggy weather.
You’ll feel my absence more than ever.
With every drip and every drop,
You’ll think of me and your heart will stop.
If even only thrice a year.
You’ll hear me purring in your ear.
Like the momentary strike of lightning,
You’ll close your eyes and see me dancing.
I’ll be the ghost you don’t believe in.
I’ll drench your mind in ways not even
Your windshield wipers can sweep clean.
Every time it rains, you’ll remember me.

BULLY

“you bought your coat from the thrift store. How embarrassing!”
“your dad is a garbageman. How embarrassing!”
“you get free lunch from school. How embarrassing!”

“you actually believe that this shit matter. How embarrassing!”

HYPOCRITE

Ever notice how the word “synonym”
Doesn’t have a synonym.

LIVE

Things won’t get better if you’re gone.
You can’t feel relief if you’re a carcass.
If it’s shadows that you’re running from.
Remember that dead eyes only see darkness.

PRANKSTER

God has a sick sense of humor.
He put men and women on this earth,
Then told them not to only coexist, but to reproduce.
He built their body’s to survive on one another,
Yet built their brain to agree on virtually nothing.

Aaaahhhhhh you got us good!

Should I stay
or should I go?
if I went
would anyone know?
Lines up my arm
And down my leg too.
My I’d feel better
If I went up high, and flew.
I feel alone
And in the dark.
I hate this world
It’s left it’s mark.
Should I stay
Or should I go?
Would anyone care?
Would anyone know?

lost

The truth is that I lost you;
That doesn’t mean you’re gone.
When I was small I lost my doll,
But retrieved it from the lost and found.
One time my pet dog ran away
The found his way back home.
I once was lost in a shopping mall
And, though I felt alone,
I knew my dad would find me
Just like he always did.
So “lost” just means “keep looking”
Is what I’ve learned as a kid.
“where’d you see it last”
Is what my mom would always say,
So I’d retrace my steps
And I’d un-lose my stuff that way.


So, yes, I guess I lost you-
But I’ll just keep on trying
To remember where I left you
So I can quit this crying

metaphor

Am I crazy[rhetorical question}
Or does it seem that
You can use your phone as a coaster,
Toss it around like a hacky sack,
Punt it across the street to your buddy
Who then takes it to the train station and lays it on the
Track
For a high-five with the next oncoming locomotive,
Play a game of tennis with it in place of a ball,
Sent it through a washing machine with bricks,
Dance on it in high heels and a puddle of liquor-
And it’s fine.

But the second you drop it half a foot
From your plush bed to your carpet floor
Atop your cashmere rug,

IT SHATTERS

This is a very millennial metaphor
For the human psyche.

stranger

He asked, can I kiss you?
She replied,
I don’t know you that well.

He asked her favorite color.
Come on, she said, you can do better.

So he took it to heart and better he did;
He learned about what she was like as a kid.
He listened to her friends, oh, the stories they’d tell!
He’d talk to her demons and learn them as well.

He became her diary the way he would hold
Ever so dearly the secrets she told.
He knew all the anguish she buried inside.
He’d seen all her scars and the thoughts they implied.

But after a while he stopped asking questions
And forgot the details she’d preciously mentioned.
As time went on, then distance grew
And she found a stranger in the person she knew.

So the day came, as it does so often,
That their love was laid to rest in a coffin.
As they choked on goodbyes, though the bond had been
Broken,
He wanted to leave her with a parting token.

He asked, can I kiss you?
She replied,
I don’t know you that well.

Maybe tomorrow
I'll find the strength to hold my hand
Saying I'll break out
Of all the chains that lock me in my head

But I'd rather sleep away the day
And set off every hand grenade
At least I know that I can feel the pain
And hopefully I'll turn around
And heal the scars that weigh me down
The ones I never show
I've lost control so

Save me, I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner of my mind
Sometimes I set my soul on fire
Trying to find the light
Or anything to bring me back to life

Maybe the places
I go get colorful in time
Cuz all of my world is black and white
But so much better when I close my eyes
I'm tired of being alone
I've lost control so
Save me, I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner of my mind
Sometimes I set my soul on fire
Trying to find the light
Or anything to bring me back to life
Save me I'm a prisoner
All the days are passing me by
Sometimes I set my soul on fire
Trying to find the light
Or anything to bring me back to life

Is it worth the fatal lies
And all of the exhausting fights
I wish I'd find some way to feel alive
And have some kinda peace of mind
No longer be terrified
Of all the sins that keep me up at night

Save me, I'm a prisoner
I'm a prisoner of my mind
Sometimes I set my soul on fire
Trying to find the light
Or anything to bring me back to life
Save me I'm a prisoner
All the days are passing me by
Sometimes I set my soul on fire
Trying to find the light
Or anything to bring me back to life

the last four poems i posted are ones that i wrote

OMG FR?!!! I actually really like them

thank you, the first one only took me like 5 minutes, i did it this morning, the other three were just ones i had laying around, i write poetry sometimes in my spare time.

cool, all I do is sing in my spare time..XD

lol

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me
Can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye
Bye...

If you're reading this
My Mommas sittin there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
Sure wish I
Could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids
I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up boots
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there
To see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and weak
I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this
There's going to come a day
When you'll move on
And find some one else
And that's OK
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Where soldiers live in peace
And angels sing amazing grace
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home

i wrote this one last night


madness

The dizziness
It won’t go away.
It stays for hours,
Sometimes more than a day.
I’ll topple, over and over,
Wishing one day i’d find my four-leaf clover.
But it never came,
Only I to blame.
Before this,
I’d never felt shame.
Now it follows,
Each place I go.
As I move the boat of life
And endlessly roe.
Backbreaking work,
But nobody will know.
About the pain that I feel,
I wish it weren’t real.
It won’t leave me alone,
Feels like I’m tearing out a bone!
Get out of my head!
Get out of my mind!
So touch a knife to your neck,
And leave it all behind.

Barney Parody

I hate him, he hates me, let's hang barney in a tree with a kick and a punch and a bullet to his head, now that purple freak is DEAD! Take him down break his bones, smashed to pieces with great stones, with a crash and a shout, barney falls on the ground, sorry kids on the small playground. I hate you, you hate me, let's get together and kill barney with tanks of water and acid he will drown, barney escapes but he falls down. I hate you, you hate me, let's go out and kill barney with a big shotgun and barney's on the floor, no more purple dinosaur.
