Some poems

[Anji]

ok so a couple of people asked me to post some :oops:

so umm...hope you like them :roll:

There is no reason why
I can’t convey to you
The importance of everything
That you might do
We tend to believe
In this world we’re a blip
This great ocean of life
We’re no more than a drip
But a drip joined with others
Could soon cause a flood
The smallest trickle
Could turn soil to mud
Every step that we take
Makes a mark in the ground
Every penny we make
Will soon make a pound
My message is simple
If you’ve listened at all
The most powerful things
Are often what’s small
Persuaded by passion
Encouraged by time
The knowledge the fact
That I’m still in my prime
Cautioned by fear
Pride catching my fall
Courage pushing me on
Whenever I stall
Sadness will visit
And soon sympathise
Common sense will sort out
The truth from the lies
Wisdom will tell me what I need to do
Motivation will help me to see it all thru
My life is a journey
Never travelled alone
These characteristics will be sure
To set the right tone
The way I dance amuses me
My toes up to my head
I’m not the worlds best dancer
I feel this should be said
I guarantee that you’ll laugh too
when I go instrumental
My legs resemble jelly
The rest stiff as a pencil
You’d think that this would cause me to
Not dance publicly
But when I dance so shamelessly
Others want to join me
Am I a dancing pioneer
Or maybe a trend setter
Or is it that when they dance round me
I make them look much better

Time is up
Patience just blew out
I’ve been holding my tongue
Got loads to shout about
This weight on my shoulders
Getting harder to hold
It’s getting me down
I’m feeling so old
Sometimes I feel like
A dynamite stick
A time bomb and
I’ve just started to tick
I don’t wanna be a fighter no more
I’m battle scarred
Exhausted
And I don’t feel any victory
Was ever worth what it costed
Although hands raised up
I feel so destroyed
Where emotions should be
I feel just a void
So my head hits the pillow
I’m a weeping willow
Music playing in the background
It keeps me mellow
Can’t sleep, sit up
My head in my hands
Hunched over, this feeling?
No one understands

This feeling inside me
Just can’t control, cannot contain
Not choosing,I’m losing
And my soul is wilting
Cannot feel, cannot control my brain
So numbing and dumbing
My naked heart somewhere else it cannot find its home
So confused and misused
So few choices to choose
So many dreams to lose
Violated. Unsure
So insecure

Anji, your poems are great!!!!!:cool::-D
I especially love the lines from "drips": "the most powerful things/are often what's small." So true.

[Anji]

Thanks Val :heart: i cant tell you how nervous it makes me to show them lol This is the first time i've really shown them to anyone :roll:

[Barshy]

I love them :-D

[Jas]

awwwww Anji thanks so much for posting them, they are amazing,awesome,great....i like them!!!:yourock::thumbsup:
my fav are blow out and naked heart!!!:-)

[bloodflowerz]

Anji, you're a natural! These poems are so powerful...some of the lines really really touched me...So true!!! Like "Drip" - adapted to this forum shows how a drip joined with others could soon cause a flood... Like hopefully we'll see a flood of fans on this forum soon!!! :-)
I find "Never Alone" very comforting...it's like an outcry for courage...at least, that's how I understand it.
"The Way I Dance" to my mind could be about anything else also - it doesn't need to be dancing - but the fact that coming out of one's shell is attractive, even if it's because the others then feel less idiotic...powerful thoughts there Anji!
"Blow Out" blew me away...tears in my eyes...no joke... It's like a mirror of these past months where absolutely everything that could go wrong, went wrong... Fantastic writing, Anji!!!
"Naked Heart" seems like a continuation of "Blow Out", or a result thereof. Very very powerful conclusion there, Anji!!!

I love your poetry, Anji!!!!!!!! Thanks for having the guts to post these! They're very personal, so I know how much courage it must've taken to post them here! I for one really really appreciate them! :thankyou: :hugs:

Anji you definately should not be nervous about posting your poems,they are really good,you have a real talent there

[Vivian]

Great Wokr you did!

[Anji]

Thank you so much guys :-D

And thank you for such detailed thoughts Blood :-)

I wanted to see what you guys thought without explaining stuff but it seems you understood perfectly where i was coming from in each :-D

Drips: It's exactly as it says, sometimes it's too easy to say you can't make a difference, but that's exactly how voting works, lots of individuals making one voice and making it heard, but as blood points out it can be applied to alot of things including this forum :-) (nice idea btw ;-) ) I actually wrote that one as a bet, a friend of mine said i could only write a poem if i chose the subject so he gave me 24hrs to write one on not being insignificant, and thats what i came up with, have to admit, i was pretty proud of myself with that :-D

Never alone: basically points out all the stuff inside us that we need to carry on thru life, the good and the bad trying to show they are all important and when you think you are all alone and no one can help you, you find that actually the best person to do that is you, was actually inspired by Mariah Carey's 'Hero'.

The way i dance: Just a bit of fun really lol, came to me one morning when i was driving my bus :-p

Blow out: I'm glad the mood and feeling came accross, i wrote that when i went thru my darkest days, real emotional heartbreaking stuff and all i could do was write, that was my stress relief and my outlet, I'm sorry for anyone who has felt what i felt when i wrote it :-(

Naked Heart: Is actually about love and all the insecurities and anguish that can come with giving someone every part of you, sometimes feeling so strongly that you have no control, it's easy to romanticise and write soppy poems but there is sometimes an element of being unsure and nervous about the road ahead.

Thank you for all your kind words though guys i really appreciate it, and who know maybe inflict some more on you in the future :-p
