    Aight bois, @Husky wanted a serious poem, so I made this in about 20 minutes, and I only had to google 2 words :cool:

    Death is inevitable
    But for it to be equitable
    We must be executable
    For our lives to be beautiful

    Our limits and expectations
    Become our innovations
    We need more convenience
    For our lives to be tolerable

    But how many lives must suffer at our expense?
    How can we not see
    that we’re being too dense

    The earth has limitations
    And we can’t expect innovations
    When there are no people left.

    Burn down acres of trees
    Drown all the fish in the sea
    Tear apart our atmosphere
    And our consciences is clear

    Breathe in some carbon emissions
    Eat our Monsanto decisions
    Inject a cow with some 'roids
    So mom can feed her and her boys

    We must devise a good pace
    Or we might just have to embrace
    To decease and lay waste
    Leaving nothing in place.

    Here is some beautiful music to listen to while you read: It wasn't really much inspiration to this piece, but regardless it's good to have a tone to a poem in order to put you into a better mood to listen to it with.

    Untitled 2.

    I wonder where time goes. I think about it a lot.
    I think about a lot of things. I am a man of science after all.

    I think about you a lot. I didn't see you much, but
    I think about the memories we spent.

    You were only 3 years old when you left us for a better place.
    You traveled there in a beautiful pink carriage I am told.

    So much to ask.

    How are you doing? It's been a year since we last talked, or maybe was it two? Time sure does fly in college
    doing science. Don't worry I haven't hurt myself with any chemicals yet.

    What's it like up there? Have you made any new friends? Fellow princesses maybe?
    You were obsessed with Sofia the First, your favorite show. I'm sure there's plenty of it where you are, non stop.

    Mom and Dad are as good as they will be. They lost the crown gem of their household after all.
    Dad still blames himself for everything, but I reassure him he did his best that faithful day.

    They still talk about you a lot at parties when I see them. Christmas. Your birthday, the whole nine yards.
    There's even a giant poster that sits there watching over the rest of the household whenever I go there. All of your friends at school made it for them.

    It's hard for them to move on. They still hurt thinking of all the times they've spent watching over you and caring for you, but
    one day, that pain will fade, and they will never stop forgetting what you have done for them in your short life.

    I still wonder why you were taken away from us so soon. I spent a lot of this spring break catching up
    with thoughts of you.

    Even if right now I am not able to see you, through death will I be able to one day see you again.
    I'll make sure we can play princess up there for as long as you want. I promise.

    For now, I'll just have to live it.

    Ross.

    Here is a sonnet I made for English class my senior year of high school. It uses iambic pentameter. (I also was kinda being cheeky towards the teacher.)

    I have found myself being rather bored
    Macbeth doth put my patience to the test
    and Brave New World makes me go 'Oh my Ford'
    It's so monotonous I need a rest
    Apparently I lack motivation
    I don't believe that is the cause for it
    In truth I think I need a vacation
    I don't want to be here and yet I sit
    In my seat thinking of where I could be
    Perhaps on an island relaxing on
    the beach underneath a coconut tree
    not worrying about where the time's gone
    The present is pregnant with the future
    I am I and it'll be okay I'm sure

    (Brownie points to whoever knows what philosopher said which line.)

    Haven't posted a poem in a while so I will post one.

    Why Do I Feel Insecure?

    Every day.
    Hour.
    Minute.
    Second.
    I feel insecure.

    No matter how many friends I have
    No matter how well I do in school
    No matter how happy I am
    I feel insecure.

    I can’t talk about my problems
    I can’t be open
    I can’t trust others
    Because I feel insecure.

    And why?
    Why do I feel like this
    Why do I isolate myself
    Why do I have this pain

    Is it my trust issues
    Is it afraid of being hurt
    Is it just not feeling good enough

    I don’t know exactly why
    And maybe I never will

    All I know is that
    This black hole In my heart
    Will never cure

    Because every happiness
    Becomes a sadness

    No matter how hard I try
    No matter what I do
    I will never be truly happy

    With that said
    This is my goodbye

    Poetry is gay,
    yet here I lay -
    Words combined, letter by letter,
    perhaps, at the end, I might feel better.

    Innocent people die in war,
    others live and know not what for.
    I sit in peace; getting my hours for the day,
    all the while I waste away.

    But is it really so bad?
    Does it make you sad?
    That this was all for one thing:
    heck you all, chicken wing.
    Please don't be too critical, this is the first poem I've made that I shared publicly :cry:
    I didn't pay attention in poetry class..

    Every day
    You wake up
    You shower
    You get dressed
    You go to school
    You come home
    You do homework
    You eat dinner
    You go up to your room
    You go to sleep
    Repeat

    However
    People don’t see what happens
    Between closed doors and walls
    No one knows the truth about your life

    No one may never know

    About the abuse
    From your parents
    That cause you to be scared
    Of any adult figure in your life
    Especially males
    Because of your father’s iron fist
    Smashing into you
    Women
    Because of the constant
    Drinking
    Screaming
    Yelling
    From your mother

    No one may never know

    About the scars and fresh cuts
    Underneath your sweater
    That you self-inflicted on yourself
    With whatever you could find
    Sometimes a knife
    A pair of scissors
    A razor blade
    Even a pair of keys
    All because of the pain inside

    No one may never know

    About the bullying at school
    Where people call you a slut
    Over a silly makeout session in the bathroom
    Over pictures that have the wrong context
    Where people call you fat
    Over the fact that you gained a couple pounds
    Over the summer
    Where people write things in your locker
    Where they have the audacity to say
    Kill yourself


    No one may never know

    About how you have zero friends
    Over some silly rumors at school
    They want to be liked as much as you do
    So they leave you

    At this point you are left with nothing
    No family
    No friends
    Not even some self-esteem for yourself
    Everything gone

    One night
    You say it’s enough
    You walk upstairs
    After dinner
    Put on a beautiful light blue dress
    Clean your room to perfection
    Walk into the bathroom
    And stare

    You ask yourself
    “Why me?
    What did I do to deserve this much pain?
    Why does my life suck?
    Why won’t anyone love me?”

    At that moment
    You look down
    Into the sink
    And say I’m sorry
    Then you look back up
    Wipe the tears off your face
    Pick up the knife
    And you start to cut
    Even though the metal is so cold
    As it pierces your skin

    You scramble after about
    7 cuts on each arm
    For a pill bottle
    You open the bottle
    And down all the pills inside

    You start to fall backwards
    Then you hit the ground
    You start to drift out of consciousness
    Then you stop breathing
    Your heart stops beating
    Your brain stops to function

    You feel free
    But you still feel empty
    But you still feel lonely

    You start to ask yourself
    “Was this all worth it?”

    But a person like you
    Can only take so much pain
    But you also forgot that there is
    Help everywhere

    So now you live in this empty void
    But you are suddenly happier
    Because you don’t have to deal with shit
    Anymore

    You say,
    “Heaven will always take care of me.”
    Then you drift off into the sunset
    Free.
