I'm in form 6 now, and cause of the new structure, i have a huge exam at the end of the year, so i have to be prepared, bleh, lol
i've made two poems since i last posted. Here they are:
“Free fall”
I saw nothing then.
I looked at the sky,
The abysmal dome of night,
Specked with stars,
But lonely,
And thoughtful.
Then I saw it,
Couldn’t make it out,
At first,
Then it burned brighter,
Only a little,
My eyes focused,
And followed.
Then I saw it,
For what it was,
A bright flare of hope,
It burned brilliantly,
Lighting up the sky,
More radiant than the sun,
But just maybe,
The setting’s to blame,
It was a dark place,
Dark time.
Then I saw it,
Swim up,
Through the dark pool,
Burning its trail,
It’s path,
Burning itself,
(As I was to find)
In me,
In my memory,
(Heh, R.I.P.)
In my heart,
And unfortunately,
In my soul.
And then I saw it,
Oh yes I saw it,
Didn’t miss a second,
I saw it,
I saw it fall,
Fluttering,
In chaos,
It fell,
And fell,
And fell,
And fell,
And drowned,
Like a black veil shrouding it,
It disappeared.
Then I didn’t see it,
It had burnt itself,
My falling star,
(Fallen star)
My suicidal falling star,
Passed the brink of beauty,
And became nothing,
My shooting star,
You shot me,
My heart,
And unfortunately,
My soul.
I looked at the ground,
I looked down,
No point in looking up,
Not anymore,
The sky was empty,
Some saw my star too,
They didn’t feel it though,
Not like me,
They walked away,
Turning their backs,
Fickle fiends,
Did they not remember?
The light it brought?
It’s beauty?
It’s elegance?
No, perhaps not,
‘Tis not their fault,
Fickle Fate,
It’s yours,
Or perhaps,
It didn’t happen,
It did feel unreal,
Like a dream,
The knowing crowd,
Says it is,
Unkown.
But I saw it,
I saw it shine,
(More majestic than the moon)
In the night,
I saw it rise,
Burn,
And drown,
I saw it kill itself,
I saw it fall.

Bless the Breakdown(ROCKING THE SYSTEM)
Call on the crows,
As we’re ready to go,
Let them blacken the sky,
As we all watch them fly,
The dark metaphor,
Screaming at their door,
We’re rocking the system,
So kill the rhythm,
Let this verse be free,
Actually I’ll rhyme,
When I want to,
Forget the meter,
And all the boundaries that limit us,
Let this verse ring through the ears,
Let them all quiver in fear,
We’re rocking the system,
Till it falls.
They can’t stop us now,
It’s all falling down,
We’re breaking all the barriers.
All the walls shall fall
All the dust shall settle,
Then finally it will all be over,
No more chains,
No more struggle,
No more walls,
No more system,
But for now, FoRgEt CoNvEnTiOn, We’Re RoCKING ThE SYStEm TiLL iT falls,
and it SHALL fall.
