ATT POETRY PEOPLE

🙂 it’s nice! Eye-catching, easier to read with the right flow.

Long time, no speak. Hope you’re doing well!

Pretty much things are looking up B”H. though i do not njoy this time of year. And you?

I am amongst the world

Yet I feel all alone

They all hold my hands

But my hands remain cold

To my left or right there is no where to go

Only up to the heavens, or down deep below

And my time left is short

No matter how lonely I may be

I must live as I can

And form who I am ment to be

I will try for the gold

And I will succeed

I will prove them all

Its not how the people who you know act

Its how you act as a friend towards others

aproudbyg- welcome to this thread. That is a powerful emunah, and a great piece of poetry, and a moving message, esp knowing its coming from you. Thanks for sharing it

Looking at truth?

What do I see

A copycat looking back at me

Every move I make it copies

every breath I take it mimicks

What is it I have done to make them feel to bother me so

I get so angry at them

The blood begins to boil in me

The heat rises in my mind

It bothers me so

And as my face begins to redden in anger

I see before me so does the other face

i then relize

I am angry at myself

Hi everyone, came by to wish you all a wonderful yom tov.

Think first

aproudbyg: Nice poetry. Especially like the alone one. Such helplessness yet such optimism. very inspiring. You have a very strong sense of self, keep it up.

saysme: Strong poem, I like it.

Have you ever had the feeling

A miniscule molecule

with no use to society

carried by the Wind

in the cement paved jungle

of tall buildings and cigarette smoke

blown by the Storms

in the great Sahara

A stalk of corn

bashed by the Tornadoes

in the plains of Kansas

a star,

at the mercy of the Black Holes

waiting in anticipation

to suck you in with

no warning.

No warning.

puppy- thank you very much for your kind words, im glad you think it inspiring,if just one person is inspired its worth writing 🙂 and i really like yours,it really captures the emotion one feels at times in a crowd of people or with another person who cares less weather or not your there with them

welcome hahahaha! Glad you enjoy it n hope you will continue to

The Israeli flag stands tall and proud

They will not destroy us although they vowed

To push us into the sea

And make Israel a mere memory

But we are still standing tall

Against our enemies, we will not fall

We will continue to fight for you

You are the land of the Jew

Israel is forever in hearts

It has been this way right from the start

Even though you are so small

We swear that you will never fall

and the rest of the world does not realize

You play a vital role in our daily lives

We cant wait for the day moshiach arrives

To bring us back to our home

So we no longer have to roam

Vogue: that’s the right attitude!

Keep on going!

i used to have the answer

when someone was feeling down

or hell broke loose and no excuse

would change what had occurred.

i used to have just the right line

to brighten up a day

deliver it with charm and wit

i used to have the words.

I used to stay distracted

not be haunted by my head

replaying awkward social talk

or things i shouldve said

i wish i had the answers

that my muse spoke and i heard

forevermore nostalgic for

back when i had the words.

shopping613-im sure its nothing personal.

Smile and laughter

Is what I used to know

Until that faitful day

I had such a blow

I saw you as you were

Doing as you pleased

You felt you would only be hurting yourself

But how could you not relize if you hurt so to me

You made me promise not to tell

To keep their minds at ease you said

I agreed although I knew the truth

You just wanted to be loved and cared

Still time went on

So did the charade

And as the layers of secrets piled on you

It became harder to keep tame

I did not wish to add to your pain

You knew what were doing and the reason why

So all I could do was quietly watch and cry

I so wanted to cry out, to plead to you

To come back and leave your nonsense behind

Because I know of the great pain inside

I knew only to well

Just seeking what all crave once in a while

I wait here for you still

I will always be here when you return

No matter what happens

I know you will always be that person I know inside

Yes you may try to hide it

You may even think all forget

But forever and always ill remember

The amazing person you really are

Living up to my name and posting a poem- yay!

I actually love writing poems and I have a bunch of (IMHO) great ones I’d love to share, but they’re VERY attributable to me.

Actually, think about it this way- this poem is exclusively dedicated to all of my favorite CR peeps. 🙂

(It’s not my best work, cause I’m kind of writing it very extemporaneously, but considering that that’s how I always write poems, Idunno what else I’d be doing…)

i wish i could dance

like a ballerina, pointe shoes

leaping from the golden floorboards

instead of limping, wincing

as i walk

my friends around me leap, twirl

run up and down the stairs

shout behind, “hurry up!”

dance in production, jump up

and cheer

while i run after them

trying to keep up

as pain stabs my knees

and my ankles become sore

and my legs don’t listen

when i tell them to

move an jump and run

should be so simple, no?

instead i dance with my fingertips

as they leap across the keyboard

and letter by letter Art is born

and for that, at least

i don’t feel any pain at all

I look around and I see no souls

But I know they’re still here

Two months gone by without a post

This thread is special better than most

It deserves some life a little spark

I can’t do everything but I can start

Hope you all doing alright dear poetry friends, I know I’ve been out for a while but I

Feel connected to this thread and even have some posts saved on my phone.

think first- welcome back! Or hello on your visit! I know, it’s sad how it died out…

Taom- maybe lost IS a better word. But i call it pain, and sometimes depression. But you are more right, it having lost ones way, the sight of ones goals, the big picture, the purpose of and meaning in ones life. And it’s a feeling I (and some other poets here) have related to or still do. I’m not someone who can advise. There is some amazing advice and direction on pages past of this thread. All i can offer is understanding, care, and to let you know you’re not alone, and someone feels for you. I hope your life makes a tremendous sudden turn upwards and you see and understand how its all for your good, and grow through the struggle

Beautiful style, fkelly. VERY poetic!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks 🙂

This is one that I really like, very personal!

She sits in the dark

Alone

Huddled

Curling herself

Into a small space.

Music on

Loud and beating

Her heart pounding

To the same rhythm.

And her pain

For just a few moments

Is dulled

She cannot feel it

Because the music drowns it out.

And then

She must leave her space

Re-enter the real world

Her pain comes rushing back

With full force.

She trembles

And braces herself

To face the world.
