RJ's Official poe+ry Pos+

[+ RJ]

Well, I figured I needed a real official one so that I could stop making a ton of separate threads.
Here goes. I'm going to be double posting, most likely...

I never said it was a compliment
When I told you
That you made me laugh
Hey I laugh at a lot of things
And mostly, it's just for show
I prefer when they don't notice
That I am not all right
It's better off that way
When I don't get in the way
To me, you're just the glitter
The kind that falls off easily
A fake shine
A fake personality
And it rubs off so easily
What's underneath is something ugly
Just mud and cardboard,
Cuts and stains
I hope I left a few scars on you
I know that you don't resent them though;
You wear them like a tattoo
And somehow it seems proud
Well I don't care if you don't
Just so long as they remind you why
I left those marks there
It makes me happy to see you
When you walk by me
The blood's dried up and washed away,
But the cuts are just as apparent
It was my last gift to you
The gift that lasts forever
I hope it hurt like Hell
And I hope you still feel the burn
I still feel it when I think of you
But it doesn't hurt as bad,
Now it's almost pleasant
A sort of satisfaction that you made me stronger
It kills me to thank you,
But I have to admit you did make me
So much stronger
I like to think of it as your last gift to me
So thank you
For making me hate you

[That one's kind of crap, but....]

[Randy]

It's a lot angier than some of your others, I wouldn't say it was crappy, but it's not a good as some of your others. It's still pretty good though! ^^ Thanks for sharin'.

Oh, I know. Well, it's about someone who..... well, you know. We don't exactly....

Everything I hate about you
You're too needy, you always cling
I don't have any breathing space
You're hippocritical, and over-critical
Your only hobby is complaining
You like to pretend that life sucks
Shut your mouth, I've had worse days
Do you even know what pain means?
Didn't think so
You're too self-absorbed
Your low self esteem is sucking me in
There's hardly even an excuse
You tell too many lies
So people will feel sorry for you
You use people for social advantage
I don't admire people like that
Entertained by fucking with people's lives
You think it's funny?
When people hate themselves
so much they want to die?
You're sick, there's something wrong
Something's missing inside you
You always act like a whore
Love is just a game to you,
it doesn't really exist
It's all about bragging to your "friends"
Let's see how long you can play with him
Maybe he'll last longer than the others
You just want someone to kiss you,
to love you, to miss you
They're all playing you too
You're just part of their game
I hate it how you can't let me be happy
Though I love how you hate it
when I'm happy
You can't put a sentence together by yourself
You have a pathetic way
of trying to be friends.
Amusing, though, how you think I like you
Your attitude is trasy
You try too hard to be someone else
You're a dirty coward
But my final complaint
is that I have to be civil
I can't say it to your face
For the sake of someone else,
I have to pretend you mean something to me
You can't even tell how i despise you
And that's the worst part

It's so far out there,
The sun and the moon and the stars.
Here we are sitting under the night
Contemplating the distance of Mars.
Balanced on the brink
Of space and time and life itself,
It's impossible to understand
The world when compared to myself.


Soon a simple thing like a smile
Will be rare and hard to find.
All the complex things in life
Will be simply left behind.
When you pull the flesh from bone,
It shows you what's inside;
And what we have's not much to show
Just bare and thin and white.


I'm here to hand you good advice
If it helps me out I won't think twice
I know you're here to stab my back
It's honesty you've always lacked
Forget the things I've said before
We're friends in theory nothing more.


Barren and cold. A wasteland.
Behind your gray eyes, the love has gone away.
There is no shine, no sign of life is betrayed by the blank dullness.
Almost as if you are a part of the wind, like you could be taken away with it.
You belong somewhere else, in another state of being.
The soul that once inhabited your body is already gone away.
Sheets of rain hit the windows, but you'd rather stand outside and let it soak into your clothes. Let the thinder reside within your rib cage, with your heart where they become one.

too long for me to read without getting bored XD sorry

[+ RJ]

Lol they're all different poems...

[Randy]

Your latest one is pretty good, I really like the first paragraph, but I think you need to seriously condense your last one, it's completely out of sink with the rest of the poem. But I think it flowed nicely without being sing-song-like and it was well written. ^^

[+ RJ]

OMG okay once again, they're not the same poem they're all different ones! I don't do stanzas.

[Randy]

Is that directed at me? Because I knew that, I was making a comment about the latest poem added, not thinking they were all the same one! Sorry if I gave that impression... Need to work on my communication skills. xD

[+ RJ]

Oh. Well it was aimed at you, but not directly. A general aim. Like a sprinkler going off, rather than a watergun.

[Randy]

Oh.... *is slightly confused* Okay... Well, I did know that they were separate poems. *nods* ^^ xD
