Poetry blowout

[Stephen55]

I really love writing poetry, but I hate reading it. I get my ideas from various sources like my music but I hate copying.

Hes some of my favs, that feel relivent to a gay forum, what do you think.


Supermodel


I don't have a perfect body,
I'm no supermodel,
What I can offer,
Takes time to surface.

I can't win a fight, or an argument,
I'm no good at sports,
My body only interests me,
Nobody knows how I feel,
Nobody needs to know.

I can't tell good jokes,
I can't create a presence,
I have to think too hard to succeed,
I'm always defensive.
I'm chemically imbalanced.

How do you do it,
I'm so green eyed,
What you do is inhuman,
Who are you kidding?



Bidding war (My attempt to immitate Coldplay )

I got to tell you something,
We all feel like you,
We all wonder what we'd do,
When its time.

We don't succeed in this social game,
You'll never elevate yourself above the shame,
But you know you'll never be happy,
If you prefer being down.

Don't concern yourself with the human mannequin,
He's as scared of us as we are of him,
He just hides it behind his looks.

You can close the curtains,
Take yourself out a knife,
And make some holes to shine through your life,
Like the brightest thing you've ever seen,
But who'll pull you back from such a dream?
Just you, just you.

Coming out

I know how much you want to wish it away,
And im sorry I had to reveal it to you today,
I can still be the man you always wanted me to be,
But I need to do it in a way thats comfortable for me.

Your going to have to accept that guy I'm with isn't just a close friend,
Your going to have to accept I will have sex with men,
Your going to be scared for me yes I know,
But the world is changing for the better.


Be happy now

Are you feeling lonely,
Down with the blues?
What have they done with the best part of you?
Is everybody with someone but you?
And if you feel your heart get more heavy,
Take a page from the Beatles and let it be,
And if your love life hasn't even begun,
Or maybe your 40 and still living with mum,
Be happy being single.

If the 'one' happened to have a two,
Or they just didn't want to be with you,
If your thinking that life is unfair,
There's one for you with a heart to spare,
Till then be happy being single.

Don't waste time with people not right for you,
Who make you do things you don't want to,
But if your mind is overcome with curiosity,
Only then should you explore and go and see,
Otherwise be happy being single.

And don't you go forgetting,
One day they'll tear through that door,
And they'll adore you so much more,
If you were happy being single.

Heartbreak rhapsody (Bit like Queens)

Hits you like a ton of bricks,
Burns you like a ranchers whip,
Kills your heart twice or more,
Pulls it out,
Shakes it dry,
Don't you just want to die?
My mind could only be a form of stupid,
For believing in a fool like Cupid.
Feelings a spiralling staircase going down,
No sunrise tomorrow the next day, ever.
Cut yourself up from the rest of the world,
Contemplate a trip to the sky,
What pulls you out I'll never know,
Probably the anger though,
Contract the hatred let it go,
Lets the anger flow and flow,
Write a poem send it off,
Cut all connections,
No loss.

I used to think you were the best kind of swell,
now I wish you were in the best kind of hell,
You trifle with my affections,
raise my expectations,
We plan the future change the present,
Make allowances and victories,
For my defeat not yours.

Your blinded by the blazing sun,
Hiding from the tides of our moon,
Your scared of acceptance,
So you preach rejection and pull innocence,

My own words you make me now deplore,
For the one I used to adore, who comforts me, no more,
In my head a face I want to hit, the coward who wont leave,
Your causing me to struggle to eat, to forgive again,
You've wasted a space in my heart,
Mates you say we can restart? fuck you.

With no respect dare you show me,
Just a shattered dream of what could be,
I could be with you in another version,
And to think I could trust you too,
Makes me vomit, pure,
Such thoughts I must now smother,
Why did I consider you above any other?



But soon feeling rushes back to command,
You find yourself able to stand,
You dry your stony eyes with glass,
Another push to the sky at last?

I feel optimistic now that you go,
loves just a game so give it a go,
In future ill seal it more securely,
So my heart wont depart so prematurely.
