My Crappy Poetry--Page Three
Here it is! At long last! The final page of Crappy Poetry! The last page would've been it, but it only let me put two poems on that one...But this is it! I promise!

Into Your Heart for Good
How can I make myself different from the crowd
when anything I could think of
has already been done?
How can I make myself special in your eyes
so when you look around
you see only me?

How can I show you that I'm the one?
How can I tell you your search is over?
How can I get into your heart for good?

What words could I say that you would remember
and think about me
when I'm gone?
How can I make you look into my eyes
and understand what I mean
and believe?

How can I show you that I'm the one?
How can I tell you your search is over?
How can I get into your heart for good?

How can we find out if this is real
if you won't open your heart
and let me in?
How can I convince you that you can trust me
and that your heart is safe
in my hands?

How can I show you that I'm the one?
How can I tell you your search is over?
How can I get into your heart for good?

To A Shadow
I close my eyes and I am blessed
by the darkness that contains you.
The warm, sweet darkness that
embraces me, welcomes me,
tells me I'm home.
I open my eyes and I am blinded
by the bright light and by the
fear that you're not with me.
I quickly become lost in the
cold, white light and yearn
for the darkness to envelop
me in its warmth once more.
Blowing out the candles one by one,
I am overtaken by the darkness
I have so longed for.
Closing my eyes again,
I allow myself to slip back
into oblivion.
Freedom
I reach out
and touch nothing
I cry out
and hear nothing
in reply

I did this
I did it to myself
I hurt those who cared
and craved the love of those
who didn't.

I beg for forgiveness
I beg to be released
from this prison
that I have built
around myself.

If you forgave me
I could love you
Though I thought
for so long that
I couldn't.

But could it be
that you no longer care
And that I love you
now that you don't
love me?

The knife twists; it's true
My prison grows smaller
And I scream
knowing I missed my chance
for freedom.


Hey, those weren't so bad! At least, I like them... Anyway, now for the post-high school very brief selection.
