Do you guys write poetry... share some if you do..!
Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you guys write poetry, i personally do and i recently wrote this one that i wanted to share with you guys
Its called "Can't Seem To Fit"
and its dedicated to one of my best friends
Everyone just has be the same
Difference becomes a played out game
Back-stabbers, decievers lies and more
It's all a life of pain and sore
Nations rising and famiies dying
Racism flowing and youth start lying,
Too many tears shed onto this world
So much bloodshed on a ground so cold
Love turns into worthless lust
Money and treasures become a must
People plan things that aren't meant to be
They do it by force to make themselves free
You can't even tell which ones are the good
The meaning of life is not understood
They end up ignoring and stepping back
They have a mind, but a heart they lack
People think different is always weird
They don't understand unique isn't feared
Nothing should be feared except the Lord
For he takes pleasure in those who follow what are told
This world is insane, This world is mean
It's all a big hysterical scene
Stray away and be who your are
Pray for heavenly pleasures on a gleaming stare
This world has done nothing but hurt
Even I am made of its dirt
But I, My essence don't belong to it
God made me unique so i wouldn't fit!
lots of my friends didnt get the part where it says even i am made of its dirt, its refering to God when he creted adam from the dust of the ground and since we are all decendants we too are made of the dirt of the world etc. and i needed something to ryhmn lol SO i HOPE YOU GUYS WILL ENJOY.. send some ifyou guys write
take care and god bless you all

i LUV poems but i can't write any!
God Bless You
pray4me
Feels like just yesterday
I was happy, young and bright
Not once then I thought
Things would turn out this way
I never even dreamed I would be in this state
I never once thought that this would be me now
If only you could see me now
What would you say
What happened to me
How did this even happen
How could I even think this way
Never once did I think I would come out this way
Lord help me I am in need of you
Reach out with your hand and guide me
Touch my heart and give me peace
Strengthen me to get me through these times
All these tears, all the sorrow will be wiped away
And I will emerge through the darkness and the fear
All I ask is for you to please help me
Now all I want to do is cry
Cry for the days that have gone
Weep for the innocence that was lost
Never to be found again
I try to get away
I struggle through the bonds of fire
That are holding me down
Weighing me down till I can’t even breathe
I when I was about to give up
When I was sure there was no hope
When all my screams of anguish and all my pleas had gone to waste
You appeared
Like a light at the end of a tunnel
You gave me hope you gave me strength to go on
And when I broke free
I turned to collapse at your feet Lord
But you pulled me up
Embraced me like your own
And you wiped away all my tears and pain
You held me tightly never to let me go
best friends are the greatest
they always stay by your side
no matter what they keep you safe
and never leave you until you die
crosses, being a child of God
the best religion
keep your faith up
greatest CHRISTIAN

to survive in my city
where there's no democracy
muslim natives are originally saudi arabian
will never let us live in harmony
invading, not to let off the hook the raping,
its just among we, people who strive
its a necessity
20,psycho-twisted and hard as led,
always keep a shank by my bed
for the next to trip
this is for my christian brothers, we always stand tall
bene suave, african born, muslims must be gone
My Lord Jesus Christ,
Where do I begin?
I’m a completely lost soul,
Full of shame and sin
Everyday I keep wondering,
Where are you in my life?
What are my values?
What am I to live for and strive?
O Lord I keep searching
As a mother searches for her child,
But the more I search,
The more questions are compiled
What am I to do Lord?
I’m stuck in a pit.
Am I really your beloved child?
Do I honestly deserve it?
The questions keep arising,
And my heart burns with intense flame.
Why me O Lord?
Are things ever going to be the same?
My ears are open to your words;
My heart shines with your love.
But how much longer do I wait,
To feel your presence from above?
Lord grant me the grace and strength,
Of which you possess,
Before I take control,
And turn my life into a mess
Your love is so tender,
So compassionate, so pure,
Your love for all of us,
Is always our cure
But still I lose sight,
Of your divinity and highness;
I’m irritated and struck,
That I’m not feeling your guidance
Lord God I need you,
So please stay by my side;
Don’t allow me to sin
Because my life you will decide
But in a world like this,
One must ask…
Who are the real believers?
And what is their ultimate task?
And yet another question emerges.
Why won’t God help his believers?
But the true question is…
Are they honest receivers?
I should be the last to judge,
To curse and to complain,
Because this mentality of mine,
Is not giving me spiritual gain
I can honestly say,
I’m not worthy of your mercy.
But I’m a true believer,
And I’m affirming your prophecy
With your hands nailed,
And on your head a crown of thorns,
That was the day,
Salvation for me was born
I thank you father,
For bringing your only Son,
So that me, a true believer,
Will be ready when You come
And here I am Lord,
Doing the best I can do.
I pray, read the Bible,
And I worship You
But that’s still not enough,
I haven’t given my all.
What does it take,
For me to answer your call?
There’s so much potential,
So many opportunities you bring.
So how do I know what’s right?
How am I to know the moral thing?
Lord please grant me wisdom,
Serenity, and understanding,
Because I can hear your voice,
But I cant deal with what you’re demanding
It is my sinful acts,
That have parted me from You,
I was living my life as a lie,
And yet the whole time you knew
So I guess the only thing left,
For a youth like me to do,
Is to persistently have faith,
And walk in the image of You
Although I’m sure its hard,
I will likely succeed,
Because through you I move mountains,
Even with faith as a mustard seed
My Lord, if that’s all you need,
Then that’s a right fit,
Because I am a Christian by your death,
“So be it”
[center]HYMN
by Edgar Allan poe
At morn–at noon–at twilight dim-
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and woe–in good and ill-
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee;
Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine![/center]
hope u like it
That was a magnificent poem, I love Edgar Allen Poe's Poems, and btw, we can all share poems it can make us think about how our life is going, and like Christ4Life said, "Share your own"
Forever,
Coptic Servent
Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?[/center]
lol here is another one but the next one will be one of mine ;D
he was an orphan, shortly after his foster parents died, his wife died, and he became an alchoholic. its a very sad story but he was very talented
[center]Annabel Lee
Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!–that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling–my darling–my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.[/center]

[center]Noises
Ah the noises never cease
Silence yet will break
Confusion has a longer lease
Than my lonely heart can take
I hold my head up, lest I break
I laugh and smile, yet so fake
Is my joy, my happiness, I ache
inside I burn, I hurt…I love

Why Not The Open Door?
I look around,
Then ask myself,
"Who is really always there for me?"
So sad cause I can't really answer myself...
Everyone is too busy,
Everyone has their own lives,
No one is to be trusted,
No one can handle what I've got inside...
When upset,
I automatically cry for help,
But all the doors suddenly shut,
So I stay in my room and cry to myself...
The is one door that is always opened,
But for some reason I don't seem to knock on it,
It's wide open,
Waiting for me to come in,
But I always seem to run to the closed doors...
Then I ask myself,
"Why not the open door?"
But so sad,
I can't answer myself...
Why not the open door?
Why not where I'm always welcome?
Why not where I can find comfort?
Then I ask myself again,
Why not to my Lord?

What Have We Done?
The world's so beautiful,
But the sky is so gray,
What have we done?
Children playing outside,
But scared so deeply,
What have we done?
I ask, What have we done?
Hiding the pain,
Afrade to trust,
What have we done?
Stollen innocents,
From a child so young,
What have we done?
The sun used to shine,
But now its full of crime,
What have we done?
What have we done to our lives?
What have we done to our world?

here is some of my poetry ..
u guys might like theres some in there about god . and the orthodox deacons .
" i Church "
by anthony tadros ( tonyhabibi )
Come to me with your repentant heart ,
you should have known i was the only answer from the start,
a place where lions bow down to lambs ,
no judgement will be forethought of any man ,
an alter where gods love is abundant and free,
i swear ill show u heaven if you just come to me ,
the last commandment i give 2 thee ,
love the lord with your heart now come embrace your eternity .
===========
+ ANGEL MICHAEL +
Ive Been Watching 4 a thousand years ,
sitting in the highest heaven sharpening my spear ,
I sit patiently waiting for the order 2 swoop down and announce with with my golden trumpet " THE NEW JERUSALEM IS HERE "
, it will be at this moment the deamons will shake and realize that their DEATH is Near .
I WILL INJECT MY WEAPON OF CHOICE INTO THEIR EVIL SPIRITS AND WATCH THEIR BLOOD POUR OUT AND THEIR BLIND EYES BURST , AND THE DEMONS TEARS WILL BE THE LAST ...TO BE RECORDED ON EARTH .
by ANTHONY TADROS *( TONYHABIBI )*
============
Why eye sin and veil my mouth ,
By Anthony Tadros
Why eye sin ? That’s similar to asking why a tornadoe spins ,
A natural act which god gives permission to ,
But contradicts your human self when ur asked to go to a confession or two .
“ ARE YOU FOR REAL ?” the devil in me starts trying
my thornes bleed out , and I begin to clear my shoulders off ,
and at this moment the angel in me starts crying .
I snap back to my temporary reality
and its my turn to sip a spoon of blood which filled naturally
the deacons be4 drank happily even almost rapidly
I open my mouth , close my eyes and taste the lamb of god ,
Next I veil my lips forming an inner kiss
with a white cloth that represents my desired inner bliss
I press my face so tight
Hopeing the devil wont push the lamb from my throat to my sight
The blood is swallowed and it runs down my heart
Infecting my vunerable inner parts
i walk backwords outside returning to my start
, from fear of eyes I move rather swiftly ,
I stand in line , chanting psalm 150
Knowing full well how my heart is filthy
the devil opens in my mouth and begins to reign
Why do I put myself through this pain
every Sunday i get insane
I cant confess ,
its been 3 years , my sins wont memorize with my brain
Humblness is seldom , my ego is set on forced fame .
Money and popularity in this world is my inner hearts only aim
But every Sunday my throat burns with this john the baptist attitude type flame
I wonder to the moon why my peers don’t feel the same ?
I cant blame god that he forgot me , my own mama forgets my name
Never went to church , id rather see a soccer game
But shouldn’t god be happy that takeing his blood and body ,
I mean COME ON ! IM his child , im not just ANYBODY
I DID NOT come this time to repent , but to remember why I attend
In this unorthodox poem I have no final messages ,
but rather a first , Think of my thoughts and sins and my crying out bursts, while I remind you of your desire to see god
but failure to see the honor of a church which every Sunday serves a taste of heaven on earth .
ok this is one of my nut so happy poems.. enjoy :)
Flash Backs
'Your confused"
A voice Howells at me,
While taking a stab,
And injuring me severely...
I gave it time,
So it healed,
But with out finding the offender...
'Your never going to change"
Another screamed at me,
While knocking me down,
And injuring me deeply...
i gave it time,
So it pealed,
Leaving a scar of anger and sadness...
"Leave me alone"
A "friend" says to me,
While shooting an arrow,
Straight in my heart,
It did more damage this time...
Peacing so deeply,
And such sever pain...
This one will take a while,
Until then,
I'll still be in denial...
My friends wouldn't cause me so much pain,
I made them do it,
I'm the one to blame...
C.A.P. ;)
dont be shy....stand out, take a risk... you've got nothing to loose... ;) :)
Why God made nature?
To remind us of Him
So we don't forget Him.
He made the sunset
To make sure it relaxes you
It reminds us that even when the sun goes down
It always comes back.
It also shows you that
Even though you sin
God will always try to get you back
He'll wait for us no matter what.
He tries to make you remember Him
How do you think rain came about
The rain was His tears
Because you're always too busy for Him.
When we have had a very rough day
He knows how that feels
He goes through it every day
For this reason He gave us a breeze.
It was His heavy breathing and sigh
For He wants you to know that---
He's there for you,
And we still don't pay attention to Him .
Sometimes we leave Him
And sometimes we come back
But He's always waiting for you
With His arms open wide.
