Angels Requiem• Show poetry

My real name is: Anthony

My poetry I feel is what makes me confront what i'm thinking, like saying why am I thinking this or why do I feel like this, so writing it down makes me understand more of what they mean, so basically my poetry gives me the answers i need to these questions, and to help call out my feelings and emotions to help deal with them.

I have had so many emotional breakdowns that sometimes I feel depressed.

My friends, my poetry, my music and family are the only things in my life that keep me stable.

I play both Acoustic and Electric guitar, and I can play a little bit of Bass.

I'm also a very open minded person which anybody can talk to me about their problems and you'll always have a willing listener.



My Favorite Poets: Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Walter Raleigh, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Geoffry Chaucer, and Christopher Marlowe.

My Most Influential Songs

THURSDAY - "Where The Circle Ends"

Mountain ranges
Morning red bathed ridges
Stab up at the trembling blue horizon
Grey slides lazily off rooftops
Lands on the incandescent ground and dies
A flock of little men touch down on the thin surface of porchlight
Dawn's footsoldiers return to march the twilight across our faces
Skylights ignite and explode
Scattering shards of april around the room
No one even lives here
We're too busy crashin our cars every morning in the same house
Paving the same roads
Unwilling to walk them
And even when we extend ourselves, its only to be included
In a moment that stands still
And so often we don't struggle to improve conditions
We struggle for the right to say "We improved conditions"
And so often we form communities
Only to use them as exclusionary devices
And we forget that somewhere man is beside himself with grief
And somewhere people are calling for teachers
And no one's answering
Somewhere a man stands, walks across the room, and breaks his nose against the door
And somewhere these people are keeping records
And writing a book
For now we can call it "The Book About the Basic Flaw
Or "The Book About the Letter A"
Or "Any Title That a Book About a Man That No One Cares About Might Have"
And as we turn the pages we call out the sounds of nothing
The sounds of a vanishing alphabet
Standing here waiting

LINKIN PARK - "Part Of Me"

Part of me won't go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it so it's senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cause it's part of me
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me
Heard of me the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man that's staring in the mirror through me

(Pre chorus)
Cut myself free willingly,
stop just what's killing me. [4x]

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me.

It can't be frightening if youve never felt it
Once it's been dealt with you feel like youve been touched by something angelic.
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the karma when the problems all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be
And that reason'll last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well.
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if youre willing to
Put a stop to just what's killing you

[pre chorus (4x)]
Cut myself free willingly,
stop just what's killing me.

[chorus]

(alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently
This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away
Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be
Every time I see myself I see theres always something wrong with me)

[chorus (2x)]
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me [2x]
