Who Doesn't Like Poetry?

I don't see how a single person on this earth could actually say they hate poetry. At least somewhere deep down inside there has got to be at least a seed of liking for some form of poetry, even if its not what we normally think of as poetry. I've heard many people say that they don't like poetry or poetry is for the weak. But to be honest most of those people have probably never tried writing for themselves. Idk. Maybe poetry isn't their thing but writing is one of the best ways I've ever found to get what I have to say out rather than keeping it bottled inside. Its on paper or the computer screen in front of you. And even if you never share what you wrote with anyone it makes the world seem brighter and load you carry just a little bit lighter.

Well thats enough of a rant for today I think... How bout you? lol

Anyways. Speaking of poetry, I found a few more older short poems.

Head Games

Fantasized, Dramatized, Reanalyzed

By the mind; Victimized

In the corner timid

Thoughts all too vivid

Love, Hate, Confusion

Is it all an illusion?

The Storm Inside

Storm of emotion

Like a raging ocean

Inside of me

Churning and burning-

     Unceasingly

Some older writings

Hey guys its me again. I was looking through some notebooks and found a couple older poems and figured I would post em on here. Hope my fiancé doesn't mind as these were written after a break-up with a girlfriend long before our engagement. Oh well, I know she has read them before.

Torment


Adrift in a sea of lingering agony
Amusing how no one can see
This outer skin, so thin and frail
These eyes, filled with sorrow so pale
Suppressing emotion; holding the facade
Covering the emptiness of a heart so clawed
By deceit, ripped open once again
Never able to heal the pain
Quietly on the brink of insanity
Living on in endless vanity

Living in Misery


Fear, misery, and doubt
Alone, down, and out
A future, without you, I've dread
So much; left unsaid

Such Dispair-
     Now you're gone
On this nightmare-
     Will there come a dawn?
