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 ~

hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever'"

"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."

"She likes you Wednesday, but now it's Friday and she has to wash her hair."
~ Reliant K : Mood Rings ~

"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."

"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."

I'm only human. The same blood, the same cells. The same God, the same Hell. The same life, the same love."
~ Tokio Hotel : Hey You ~

"Is there anybody laughing to kill the pain? Is there anybody screamin' the silence away? Just open your jaded eyes."
~ Tokio Hotel : Zoom Into Me ~

"I feel lost in myself - there's an alien in me. Who are you? Who am I? Blood is all I see, the words in the mirror are makin' me shiver."
~ Tokio Hotel : Alien ~

"I'll scream 'till I'm bleeding and I will crush through the ceiling. No, you don't know what I'm feeling and that I'm dying - trying, trying...I've analyzed everything, anything that you do. I am physically, metally over-obsessed with you. I'm such a sad, sad sight. It's such a cold, cold night..."

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 never thought they'd get me, these pictures in my head. Lying in my bed, these whips make me bleed."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Lovesongs (They Kill Me) ~

"I don't need no fakes around me, all I want is you to be with me. Here I am. All these words have lost their meaning. I just hope you hear my silent scream. I still hear the distant voices spreading rumors and lies. I took you to my darkest places, so far away from the skies."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Silent Scream ~

"I don't believe in miracles - I never did. Nothing ever happens here, so sick of it. I told you, I need to get myself into something new."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Forever or Never ~

"I don't believe in fairytales - too cynical. Everybody stop and stare - I let it go. I told you, I need to stick out. I just can't be like you. Sent myself to outer space - a better place. Gotta win the human race."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Forever or Never ~

"I'm sick and tired of this so-called life, without room to breathe. I toss and turn in my bed all night. Am I the only one who finds no peace? What are you waiting for?"
~ Cinema Bizarre : Escape to the Stars ~

"I've always been the one to speak my mind - strove against the stream. Take on the system or leave it behind and you will find a new reality. What are you waiting for?"
~ Cinema Bizarre : Escape to the Stars ~

"After the rain I still see heaven crying. After the rain I still feel no relief. 'Cause everything we used to be and used to feel, it all becomes so frightening real, after the rain. Rainbow skies turned to grey ever since we lost our smile. Innocence gone astray since the day we said goodbye."
~ Cinema Bizarre : After the Rain ~

"Miss independent, you've got everything you need to make it on your own."
~ Cinema Bizarre : She Waits For Me ~

"I'm putting pressure on my wounds to stop the bleeding but I'm passing out. Can't ask me back or make me better you're the devil and you bring me down."
~ Cinema Bizarre : She Waits For Me ~

"Everyday I just dream away to another world. Everyday I can see people all around look at me. I know what they're thinking. 'He's such a lonely rider.' 'He's such an outsider.'"
~ Cinema Bizarre : Don't Believe ~

"We have been told there's only one way to go, but we live different lives. Dreams to unfold, like a kaleidoscope, reflecting hundred skies. No hiding, no faking, this life can be amazing. You want it, you need it, beware - it's so contagious. Call it strange, this is the way we are. Far beyond your dreams. Break your chains, open your mind for more, see what it's like to be the way we are. We are so high, we dance on the edge of the sky - where no one dares to go. Flashes of light tell us the time is right to blow your mind once more."
~ Cinema Bizarre : The Way We Are ~

"I'm a punk, I'm a sinner. I'm lost new beginner. I'm a threat to myself, I'm a get Armageddon. I'm a freak, I'm a liar. I'm a flirt, I deny that I'm not good then I mess it up. And sometimes I feel like I'm only one. No wonder why I've become so dumb...I'm a bit suicidal, I'm my own worst rival. Trainwreck, white trash, freak, maniac, psycho. I'm a trouble-making rebel, made a deal with the devil. I'm way past ever coming back."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Dysfunctional Family ~

"Close your eyes, it's all pretend. Let them know you're Heavensent."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Heavensent ~

"Will you take what's left of me? Reanimate my trust in fate. Angel in disguise - you save my soul, but you make my heart go blind. My devils rage inside - just can't let go
'cause it feels so right. You make my heart go blind."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Angel in Disguise ~

"I'm so afraid of being cold just to cope with Society."
~ Cinema Bizarre : Angel in Disguise ~

"This is the silent place, where everybody looks the same. This is the silent place, where people speak but cannot hear. This is the silent place, where millions die and no one cares. This is the silent place. This is the world that we have built. This is the silent place, a place to face the agony. This is the silent place. A place for you but not for me...This is the silent place, where everybody speaks the same. This is the silent place, where people stare but cannot see."
~ Cinema Bizarre : The Silent Place ~

(SO SHOOT ME, I LOVE CINEMA BIZARRE AND TOKIO HOTEL AND THEIR LYRICS...more than what is probably healthy...eheh.)

The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails.

92% of American teens today would die if Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister said it wasn’t cool to breathe anymore. If you’re part of the 8% that would be laughing their butts off, put this in your profile.

"I'm Sorry"
I'm sorry if I don't meet your standards
I'm sorry if I'm not a "bunny"
I'm sorry if my boobs aren't big enough to "satisfy" your needs.
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.
