Hey fellow poets!
Well, I'm a slam poet for the most part, but I write regular poetry as well. What's the difference? Well, slam is largely about the performance of the poem and how it is presented. Anyways, I have some poetry that I will not post on here for some personal reasons, but the poetry that I do post is open for reading and comments, actually reads and comments are very welcome! ^_^ So anyways, that's it for now.
PS: For all who don't know or might be paranoid about copywrite stuff, my "face" is Tuomas Holopainen, the lyricist/keyboarder/founder of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. He's my favorite poet and I look up to him very much, hence the reason he's on my poetry page.

MY FAVORITE QUOTES:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
~ Robert Frost : The Road Not Taken ~
"'Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever'"
~ Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) : Bless the Child ~
"Love me before the last petal falls"
~ Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) : Beauty and the Beast ~
"Nothing gold can stay."
~ Robert Lee Frost : Nothing Gold Can Stay ~
"Happiness is just an illusion filled with sadness and confusion."
~ DJ Chuckstr : Broken Hearted ~
"She won't turn around. The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down."
~ Superchick : Stand In the Rain ~
"She won't make a sound. Alone in this fight with herself, and the fears whispering, if she stands she'll fall down. She wants to be found."
~ Superchick : Stand in the Rain ~
"You blame me but it's not fair when you say that I didn't try. I just don't wanna hear it anymore. I swear I never meant to let it die. I just don't care about you anymore. It's not fair when you say that I didn't try, I just don't care about you anymore."
~ Three Days Grace : Let It Die ~
"Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings, so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off."
~ Reliant K : Mood Rings ~
"She said to me that she's so happy, it's depressing, and all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring. If it's drama you want, then look no further. It's like the real world meets Boy Meets World meets Days of our Lives."
~ Reliant K : Mood Rings ~
"She likes you Wednesday, but now it's Friday and she has to wash her hair."
~ Reliant K : Mood Rings ~
"Someone's crying, who though could it be? Someone in this house, that no one seems to see, someone no one seems to hear, except for me. I heard someone crying, maybe it was me."
~ The Secret Garden : I Heard Someone Crying ~
"There's a fire in your eyes and I hope you'll let it burn. There's a scream in your voice and I hope you will be heard. There's a fire in your eyes and I hope you'll let it burn until you're heard, you're heard."
~ The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus : Seventeen Ain't So Sweet ~
"I would recommend that you live with no regrets and even if it seems like the world is crashing on you, you shouldn't let it hold you down, shouldn't hold you back."
~ The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus : Seventeen Ain't So Sweet ~
"You get up and somebody tells you where to go to. When you get there, everybody's telling you what to do. Thank you, it's been another bloody Monday and no one is asking what you wanted anyway."
~ Tokio Hotel : Scream ~
"We learnt to live and then our freedom came to an end. We have to break down this wall. Too young to live a lie, look into my eyes..."
~ Tokio Hotel : Ready, Set, Go! ~
"Runnin' through the monsoon, beyond the world, to the end of time, where the rain won't hurt. Fighting the storm, into the blue and when I lose myself I'll think of you."
~ Tokio Hotel : Monsoon ~
"I scream into the night for you. Don't make it true, don't jump. The lights, they won't guide you through, they're deceiving you, don't jump. Don't let memories go of me and you. The world is down there, out of view. Please, don't jump."
~ Tokio Hotel : Don't Jump ~
"To me you'll be forever sacred. I'm dying, but I know our love will live. Your hand above, like a dove over me. Remember, to me you'll be forever sacred."
~ Tokio Hotel : Sacred ~
"No one knows how you feel, no one there you'd like to see. The day was dark and full of pain. You write 'help' with your own blood 'cause hope is all you've got."
~ Tokio Hotel : By Your Side ~
"Like the rising tide, beating hearts grow but never die. To simplify, I'll stand by your side, close my eyes, hope will never die."
~ Atreyu : When Two Are One (Two Become One) ~
"It's in your head, all the voices mistaken. Shake it up, shake it up, We're all dying in the end."
~ Atreyu : Falling Down ~
"2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, 'Can you help me unravel my latest mistake? I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season.' Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes, like they have any right at all to criticize,
hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason."
~ Anna Nalick : Breathe (2 AM) ~
"'Just a day' he said down to the flask in his fist, 'Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.' Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while but, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it."
~ Anna Nalick : Breathe (2 AM) ~
"No one can find the rewind button, girl, so cradle your head in your hand and breathe, just breathe."
~ Anna Nalick : Breathe (2 AM) ~
"2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song. If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to. And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd, 'cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud and I know that you'll use them, however you want to."
~ Anna Nalick : Breathe (2 AM) ~

I'm sorry if I'm not skinny enough for you to see my ribs
I'm sorry if I'm not pretty enough to be "your girl".
I'm sorry if I'm not tanned enough for you
I'm sorry if I'm not a playboy model so I can't act like a porn star for you.
I'm sorry if I'm weird
I'm sorry that I write about you every day
I'm sorry if I don't have a dream body that turns you on.
I'm sorry if I'm not tall enough.
I'm sorry if I don't have sex with you on the first date.
I'm sorry if I'm annoying
I'm sorry if my hair is not long enough.
I'm sorry that I'm different from those other girls
I'm sorry I won't hang all over you, and be a complete tramp to make you happy.
I'm sorry that I actually care about you
and actually call to see how you're doing.
But most of all...
I'm sorry that most guys can't accept a girl for who they really are.

PONDERISMS:
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Evening news is where they start off by saying "Good evening," and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Something is wrong when you're afraid
To give the homeless people some aid -
I tried so damn hard to Forget you.
That hasn't changed much about our feelings. -
