He feels but can't cry,
He hurts but can't die;
He's too weak
Or perhaps too strong,
And he's been thirsty for far too long,
He's been trying so very hard,
Though he's been inflicted with many scars;
He feels worthless,
He feels weak,
But of his own feelings
You'll never hear him speak;
He's too good at faking,
So nobody knows
His life consists of fleeting highs
And ever peresistent lows;
But in his life there is a light
That shines brighter than the stars,
Better than any luxury,
Diamonds, TV's or sports cars;
She is beautiful and caring,
Amazing as can be,
Their love is unlike any other,
To his heart she holds the key;
But still no one understands,
Maybe no one ever will,
He trys so hard to do what's right,
He trys hard not to kill,
He knows he is a monster
But fights with his own fate,
Trying hard to get along,
Trying not to hate,
He's fast and strong and handsome,
Perfect as can be,
But the beauty on the outside
Is the only beauty he can see.
~~~~~~~~~~~
You're really not a monster,
I wish that you could see
Everything thing you are inside
And everything you try to be,
I know that you feel weak sometimes
I know that it feels bad
But you're stronger than you think, you know,
So don't be all depressed and sad,
I know who you really are,
And how hard you always try,
You'll always be amazing
As seen through my eye,
You know what is right and wrong
You do what you have to do,
And I hope that you will know
That I will forever admire you.
Author notes
~2~ This is a poem written about Jasper Hale from the Twilight series. I love Jazzy, and I had LOTS of fun writing about his feelings! Personally, I think he's in a lot more pain than he lets on. He can feel other peoples feelings, but he ignores his own and refuses to let other people know. In several insatances it kind of shows. He's very withdrawn, and it's been said how he feels weak, because he's new and it's harder for him. And you get a better looks into his mind in the first chapter of Midnight Sun, and I think this fits. The last few lines, I really, like, because I thinks it's kinda cute (and kinda sad...) that he can only see what he's become on the outside. All the vampires know they look good, because that's part of what they've become. But he can't see what and beautiful caring person he is on the inside...
P.S. And the end part, the other mini-poem, I suppose a lot of you think is from Alice... it could be. But really I wrote it as what I would tell Jazz if he were real. So think of it what you may...

amazing
one of the best poems i have read in a while
i love jasper too -
This was really well written. It's funny how as soon as i'd read the first line i knew suddenly that it was about jasper. How odd is that. Most people write about Edward and Bella. So i'm really glad for the change. Very loving write. Very Nice ways of expressing emotions.
Well done and best of luck in the contests.
Thank you for the amazing write.
Second in my finalist list. for jasper
-
i thought this was about edward at first but it definatly fits jasper. i liked the end part where its how alice sees him. very sweet. great write
-
I love Jasper too. He doesn't get near enough book time, in my opinion. Bravo for portraying him so well. Alice would totally agree with you, I think. Good luck in the contest.

Aw, Jasper. <3 I really liked the first part, especially "He's too weak / Or perhaps too strong, / And he's been thirsty for far too long." The second part wasn't quite as strong, the rhyming sounded a little more forced, but the ending was sweet. Nice job, and good luck!

Oh wow. Amazing. I could see it being from Alice's point of veiw and I had wondered if that was what you had been trying but it didn't sound much like Alice from what I recall. I'm glad to find there are others who love Jasper as much as me and Alice. Great write
