Sarah's songs/poems

i voted! YAY!! lol

YAY! hehehe.

The votes are totaled on Sunday.

Oooooooo! lol

I came in 3rd out of 4th.
I got a little banner thingy I put in my profile, too xD

This weeks promt is a little hard, but I like this poem more than the first one.

the promt;

"Flat on my back, I stared straight up at the magnificent firmament, glorying in the time I was making, in how far I had come from sad Bear Mountain after all, and tingling with kicks at the thought of what lay ahead of me in Denver - whatever, whatever it would be. And Mississippi Gene began to sing a song. He sang it in a melodious, quiet voice, with a river accent, and it was simple, just 'I got a purty little girl, she's sweet six-teen, she's the purti-est thing you ever seen,' repeating it with other lines thrown in, all concerning how far he'd been and how he wished he could go back to her but he done lost her.
I said, 'Gene, that's the prettiest song.'
'It's the sweetest I know,' he said with a smile.
'I hope you get where you're going, and be happy when you do'
'I always make out and move along, one way or the other.'"

--

Maybe a cowboy,
Or a lost, lost loner,
Just a man who carries a tune.

And he sings that song,
To pass the time,
So the days fly by so soon.

The song for a lover?
Perhaps a sister,
A girl with a beauty of bloom.

Mountains and hills,
Stretching afar,
And as we move closer, they seem to loom.

He will walk away,
And go to his girl,
One of these days, I assume.

And on this day, I'll watch him leave,
Just moving along,
As he sings that simple song.

oooooo goood! i love it! and i love the prompt too.

thanx =]
you should do something for it. we need more people in it anyway. that would be cool. =]

hehehe

I got second place this time! Yayyyy!

For this weeks INO poem promt:


Wasted Away

Like an empty body bag,
You lay against the wall and sag.
Another night, another drag,
Another day for you to waste away.

You're too weak to cry and plead,
You yearn for freedom - it's all you need.
Another night your mascara bleeds,
Another day for you to waste away.

You smell like cheap champagne.
An aroma they can't burn away.
Picking scabs and watching them bleed.
Your clothes are ripped and torn, my baby.

May the Lord stay with you, child.
For your blood is running wild.

Like a full body bag,
I watch your body sag.
Another night, another drag.
The day you wasted away.

OMG..........

May the lord stay with you child, For your blood is running wild

That line is amazing. I was just like O_o when i read it =D

one of my new favorites Sarah! Hope you get first

Waaaaaaaay late, bue thanks! =]
There were only enough votes to place 1st, and someone else one. Her's was way good though.

I wrote a song about my Gerard and Lyn-Z fan fic. It will most likely appear in it some point in time.

Behind the Wheel With You (Bleak)

Driving on and on until we reach the end;
The end of the world.
I'll stay inside this car with you,
And leave everything else behind.

The heat is broke and the ac is shot.
The seats are ripped and the radio's off.

If what I'm saying is just not enough,
And if the circumstances choose to bleed away,
We'll just fight through all the tough times,
And drive through our memories,
I'm behind the wheel with you.

Everything I thought I knew disappears,
And I'm left with you.
Jumping over subway turnstiles,
And throttling the fucking ignition.

The heat is broke and the ac is shot.
The seats are ripped and the radio's off.
But I could care less about our atmosphere.
I'm as good as gold as long as you're here.

If what I'm saying is just not enough,
And if the circumstances choose to bleed away,
We'll just fight through all the tough times,
And drive through our memories,
I'm behind the wheel with you.

You gave me hope when the tunnel was bleak and dark.
You opened my eyes so I could see how beautiful you are.
And if we don't survive this never-ending wild road.
At least I'll die knowing I was never alone.

And now we're running on empty.
And now our hope is, oh, so bleak.
Money has never been a problem,
And now it's our worst enemy.

If what I'm saying is just not enough,
And if the circumstances choose to bleed away,
We'll just fight through all the tough times,
And drive through our memories,
I'm behind the wheel with you.

You gave me hope when the tunnel was bleak and dark.
You opened my eyes so I could see how beautiful you are.
And if we don't survive this never-ending wild road.
At least I'll die knowing I was never alone.

And now we're running on empty.
And now our hope is, oh, so bleak.
Money has never been a problem,
And now it's our worst enemy.

Other songs/poems:

From Blue to Black

This thorn rips through my fingertips,
And blackens my blood inside.
The water in my body turns to stone,
While my heart is pumping white.

My stomach fizzes and burns,
Then explodes without warning.
The sky goes from blue to black,
And steals my precious morning.

Hungover and left in a daze.
My vomit on the bathroom floor.
My head is constantly throbbing,
And I can't take this anymore.

Fill the void with anything,
Just take this drink from me.
Vodka dreams topped with misery,
It stretches as far as I see.

Static filling my hollow brain,
And tears roll down my face.
The sky goes from blue to black,
And I can't take this anymore.

Screwdriver

It enters my bloodstream and teases my mind,
Like taking candy from a baby.
A cheap shot and dirty tactics.
Screwdrivers and ridiculous antics.
It twists it's way through my body,
Like a worm digging through the dirt.
Unbelievable feelings;
Screwdriving my feelings.

I thought I was smarter, I thought I was better,
Than to waste my life away.
Is it just the pressure, or am I a liar,
Lying my way through life?
Lying my way through life?

It enters my stomach and fucks up my mind,
Like having body fluids sucked right out of you.
Picking a scab that won't stop bleeding.
Screwdrivers and always deceiving.
It twists it's way through my body,
Like a worm digging through the dirt,
Can you feel this feelings?
Screwdriving these feelings.

I thought I was smarter, I thought I was better,
Than to waste my life away.
Is it just the pressure, or am I a liar,
Lying my way through life?
Lying my way through life?

Revenge is sweet,
When you see the lasting effects.
My brain is beat,
And my body's burning from the heat.
Revenge is sweet,
When you see the lasting effects.
My brain is beat,
And my body's burning from the heat.

I thought I was smarter, I thought I was better,
Than to waste my life away.
Is it just the pressure, or am I a liar,
Lying my way through life?
Lying my way through life?

Best Friends

You've been keeping secrets from me,
And I'm reaching in and pulling out,
All the truth I've given you to hold.
My face is pale and lined with worry.
As I'm ripping your black heart into tiny pieces,
But it has no effect on you.
You're just too cold.

You follow me wherever I go,
And talk about anything just to hear your own damn voice.
I want to punch your face in.
I want to punch your face in.
I try to prove to you and myself.
That the only person I'll ever need is myself.
I am such a damn good liar.
I am such a damn good liar.

I kept my faith stored in the back of my soul.
It collected dust and shattered after 4 damn years.
All the trust I gave you to hold - I want it back.
I'm pale with worry,
And my heart ios falling to such little pieces.
My pain has no effect on you.
You're just too cold.

You follow me wherever I go,
And talk about anything just to hear your own damn voice.
I want to punch your face in.
I want to punch your face in.
I try to prove to you and myself.
That the only person I'll ever need is myself.
I am such a damn good liar.
I am such a damn good liar.

Best friends.
Best fucking friends.
Friends till the end.
Is this what I deserve?
All I ever did was love you.
Was that so wrong?

All the trust I gave you to hold - I want it back.

You follow me wherever I go,
And talk about anything just to hear your own damn voice.
I want to punch your face in.
I want to punch your face in.
I try to prove to you and myself.
That the only person I'll ever need is myself.
I am such a damn good liar.
I am such a damn good liar.

Grandma

It's been 1 month and 6 long days.
And I don't know how many weeks have passed by,
That I don't think about you.
That I don't miss you.

I miss you,
I miss you,
And this never gets any easier,
I miss you,
I miss you,
You're 6 feets underground, but, I swear,
I'm sitting right next to you.

It's been 2 months and 4 long days,
And I don't know how much more my heart can take,
During such a difficult time.
Such a painful time.

I miss you,
I miss you,
And this never gets any easier,
I miss you,
I miss you,
You're 6 feets underground, but, I swear,
I'm sitting right next to you.

Your white hair, ragged and in your face.
Bible by your side, while your heart jumps out of place.
Your son comes to say goodbye,
Such a painful time.

It's been 4 months and 3 long days.
It never gets easier, no matter what they say.
The storm rolls past,
And I'm left to face the fact,
Grandma's gone.

I miss you,
I miss you,
And this never gets any easier,
I miss you,
I miss you,
You're 6 feets underground, but, I swear,
That I'll always remember you.

Just realized the poetry challenge entries for ImNotOkay.net are due today, so I wrote this with no time to spare, and sent it in. The theme was simply "Coincidence", so I took a stab at it.


What a Coincidence

I see her,
You see her,
What a coincidence.

As if I never lived,
As if I'm as thin as air,
Like evanescence.

As if I'm a twin of a ghost,
As if I'm carrying a hoax,
Like you don't have permission,
To talk to an appirition.

You see, she left you all alone,
Not following the tone,
Of fake truth you say through your teeth.

She's smarter than you,
She's smarter than me,
Because I fell for your trick last week.

What a coincidence,
That like evanescence,
She vanished from you and me.

She won't believe what you say,
So your all alone today,
Just like me today,
What a coincidence.

i loved it sarah!

i hope you get 1st place =D

thanks =)
i'll tell you when the results are in.

It Would Be Nice To Have a Life


It would be nice to have a life.
To have friends to hang out with.
But I'll just do what I always do,
Just sit on my fucking ass.

And I feel like no one understands,
And I know they probably don't.
They just can't comprehend,
How someone could live like this.

It would be nice to have a life.
To have something to do during the day.
But I know I'll rot away instead,
Just lose all my sanity.

And I feel like no one cares at all,
And I know they probably don't.
They just don't understand,
How someone could live like this.

It would be nice to have a life,
To have accomplished something great.
But I know that's not for me,
Just simply not for me.

And I feel like tearing my insides out,
And I know I probably will.
No one could understand,
How much somebody can hate themself.

It would be nice to have a life,
I guess I'm just gonna have to try,
Get off my ass and stick my foot out,
And walk away from this.

And I know it'll be a lot of work,
And I know I could always fall.
But I'm in it to win it now,
There's no turning back now.
There's no turning back now.

oohhh, i love it sarah =D

Aimed and Took Shot

fire at will,
fire away.
aim and take shot,
and take me out today.

lying on the pavement,
shot in the face,
aimed and took shot,
and you're gone without a trace.

face down and swollen,
blood pouring out.
aimed and took shot,
all i hear is shouts.

deceased and happy,
gone without a worry,
aim and take shot,
and don't feel sorry.

coffin and a casket,
flowers in a basket,
funeral for a nobody,
so they all together trash it.

gone forever,
in not heaven nor hell,
aimed and took shot,
and you did it well.

everyone's happier now,
see their pretty smiles,
aimed and took shot,
and i'll be here for a while.

everyone's happier now,
hear their screaming laughter,
and the story ends,
with a happily ever after.
