The Hole

I am all alone in this dark hole.
I sit and wait to be liberated.
But all the more I scream and yell
that I wish to be heavily sedated.

I am not myself anymore.
The beasts have made me something so vile.
I see the path I have taken,
and I cry all the while.

I see the things that I have done,
that put me in this dismal place.
And when I look at the muddy pool of water on the ground
I can barely recognize my own saddened weather worn face.

It has been blackened by the lies
and has been aged by the pain.
If I could go back I would
and I would do it over again.

I would shun the beasts that lured me here,
with their promises of love and happiness.
I would take a candle next time I went in the dark,
so I could really see which road is best.

But alas I can't change what has happened.
I can not revisit the past.
I can not sew up the wounds I have scourged
and I can not go back and wait for the beasts to take off their masks.

This was my most precious gift.
The life I was given on my very first day.
Why was I so foolish?
Why did I just waste it away?


Ok this poem is sort of about peer pressure and sort of about wasting your life doing things that are foolish or self destructive. The "beasts" are people in your life that try to get you to do things that you know are wrong whether that be morally or legally and the hole is the guilt and shame you can feel after you do those things.

Allegory

An allegory is a poem that uses a metaphor to talk about something. Allegories use symbolism to talk about something else. They are really neat because someone could interpret them anyway they wanted and each poem could mean something different to each person who reads it.

Dog days

So its Friday once again. And my dogs are still pretty crazy. Katy got a bath yesterday. Everything looked like it was ready to go then I realized, I didn't have a cup! I was searching frantically in my bathroom but it was of no avail.I couldn't leave the bathroom because Katy hates water and will jump out so I decided to get creative. My mouth wash bottle was pretty much empty, like only about two ounces empty so I dashed into my room,which is connected tp my bathroom so she was never put of sight, and grabbed a pair of scissors. I washed it out very well so she didn't get any alcohol residue on her skin and cut off the top nzzle of the bottle. And with my luck it worked very well. It was three times the size of a normal cup so she was clean in half the time it normally takes. Now she is clean and smells like vanilla( we only use dog shampoo on our dogs. I didn't use the shampoo we use on her. Its actually oatmeal shampoo for dogs that smells like vanilla.).

Mike Posner

Ok so this is his most famous song right now that has been released. Its called Cooler Then Me. I really like it but I guess we each have our own taste in music. It does have one swear word in it so if that offends you don't watch the video. It is only said once or twice and its nothing my grandmother wouldn't say so. I hope you enjoy it. And I do have the video with the lyrics because this is a poetry blog so those are pretty important. Enjoy!

Ode to mistakes

I know I made a mistake today.

but I really hope you understand.

I really didnt want to do this to you.

It wasn't like it was planned.

I'm not a perfect person,

but I know you are the same.

So why are we playing these games

always looking for someone to blame.

So why not blame the humanity

that resides within us all.

How about that

to take the fall.

I'm sincerely sorry if your hurt,

but I am human just like you.

So at the end of the day just let everything go.

What else can you really do?

New Poetry

So in the waje of my writers block, I have decided to explore some newer more modern forms of poetry, one being song lyrics. Many people consider that art right? well it is kind of like poetry in the since that it rhymes and has a set structure. So maybe until I get out of this block I can feature a new song every day. Maybe a specific artist every week. Well this week I have decided to pick Mike Posner. Everyone is calling him the new Justin Timberlake, but no one ca beat Justin so. He is sort of new to the scene but already has some really goosd stuff recorded. The song I picked today is called Please Don't Go. I have no idea what album it is from all I know is that I really like it. I have the link below so check it out.
