For(Gotten) You- A Few Poems

Hey everybody! I know I said I would update 2 days ago with a story update, but some things came up. I will post later today or tomorrow with a Lost Worlds update. This is a For(gotten) You update! I am just going to share a few poems that are in the book.

i stood tall

& strong

musket in my hands

i fought hard

and stayed on

as the cold days rolled by

even as the soldiers numbers

dwindled before my eyes

i lost friends,

comrades

family, sure

but i still stood straight with pride…

’till i lost myself too.

that was the price i paid

for the red white & blue

For the 4th of July, I know it’s sad, but I wanted to tell the importance of the war. I might make a fireworks poem soon that is happier.

________________

we try

to shape ourselves

into the mold

set by society

but

i dont want to be

a doll

made thousands at a time

underpriced

and overloved

sitting on a store shelf

i want

to be original

handmade

because we pay more for those, right?

Inspired by a store’s display of dolls

_______________________

i loved you

with all of my heart

i loved you so much

i was blinded from the start

too happy to see

the cloth you pulled over my eyes

then you shot my heart

and left it there to die

of all the illusions

yours was the worst

because i think it was real at first.

This won 1st place in a WattPad Poetry Contest.

people always say

“don’t rain on my parade”

but right now

i would love some rain

to wash me clean

please,

rain

wash me clean

the lies

are choking me

please,

rain

i need to be clean

once more

This was for a contest, but I took the poem in a different direction then it was supposed to go, so I didn’t submit it.

_________

her smiles seemed

to illuminate the night

but all her smiles

were tricks of the light

Just a random poem I thought of.
