VballChick074• Show poetry

I am a 17 year old Junior from Indiana. My name is *Lauren*. I like to write poetry all the time. I express everything that is happening in my own life. Which is mostly all the stuff that comes from being in high school. From \love\ to \friends\ to \family\, and all the crap in between. Most of my poetry is about _love_ or _darkness_ as you can tell. I just dont have alot of good things in my life, so i write exactly how i feel.

Now dont let my poetry scare you off or anything, cause there are some good things in my life. Like my friends...I dont know what I would do w/o them. My \mother\ as well..I've learned so much from her. But I just enjoy writing  about the bads things in life...it makes me feel better when i can vent. So I hope you can relate to it!  

I also love to listen to _*music*_. Just like writing poetry, listening to music really helps me through some tough times. Especially these bands, who's lyrics kept me going these past years...

The _Taste of Chaos_ was \awesome\! I love my two best friends that i went with....gena and rachel! I dont know what I'd do w/o you two. Can't wait till our next concert!

I went to Ozzfest 2005! BUT it wasn't as great as I thought it would be, o well. I went with someone who used to be very special to me...but now I hate him. He is no longer a part of my life and for that...I am *glad!

My Dearest Jeff,
I couldn't sleep last night because I know
that it's over between us .
I'm not bitter any more, because I know what
we had was \real\. And if, in some distant place
in the future, we see each other in our new
lives, I'll smile at you with joy, and remember
how we spent a _summer_ beneath the trees, \learning
from each other and growing in love.
\ The best love is the kind that weakens the soul,
and makes us reach for more. That plants a fire
in our hearts, and brings peace to our minds, and
that's what you had given me. That's what I'd hoped
to give to you forever. You were my *first true love*.
Thank you for all the great memories I'll lock in
my heart forever.
\Goodbye...\


i am alive
i will \never\ run away
places inside
my heart screams inside with pride
once i cried
now i wipe away the tears
\once i died
now i'm alive\ ~ Korn

-Here I am \screaming\ for attention
Hoping to get good reception
I wonder if you notice me
Or when I walk past
You feel a breeze
-You seem secure
To me, a blur
Maybe it's the way I feel
The way I fall \head over heal\
But since I'm too shy
You sometimes pass me by
-\My words get caught
\Closing my mouth so it doesn't drop
I wish I could atleast say " Hi "
So I can say I tried
\If I'm a foot away
Will you think about me throughout the day?\
If I laugh
Will you turn to look?
Or will you ignore my glances
And just judge me like a book? ~ Friend

Sometimes I remember the \darkness of my past\
\Bringing back these memories\ I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and \never looking back\
\And never moving forward\ so there'd never be a past ~ Linkin Park

When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though you are close to me
You're still so distant / \And\ \I can't bring you back\ ~ Linkin Park

You love the way i look at you
While taking pleasure in the \awful\ things you put me through
You take away if i give in
\My life\
\My pride is broken\ ~ Linkin Park

If we cut out the bad, well then we'd have nothing left ~ The Used

With my foot on your neck
I finally have you...right where I want you ~ The Used

No matter where life takes me too
A part of me will \always\ be with you ~ ?

I will forgive but I won't forget
And I hope you know you've lost my respect ~ Papa Roach

Her feelings she \hides\.
Her \dreams\ she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's \fallen\ behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
\She's all over the place\. ~ Avril Lavigne

I was reminded of you today
So I've written this out to say
That sometimes, some things are better left alone ~ Motograter

I hear voices deep within me
Finding out I'm not so strong
Sometimes I don't think so clearly
Get the feeling something's wrong ~ Motograter

\On the surface I seem normal
\Everything's as it should be
Farther down though I'm so \ugly\
Something you wont _ever_ see ~ Motograter

Being scared doesn't mean you are weak.
It means you are smart enough not to go into deep water when you don't know how to swim all that well. ~ My new friend Sarah!!! Thanks so much for helping me!




*Enjoy!*
