  1. "Right. Right." He looked down at his hands. "I don't have a proper weapon. I had coins, but I lost them all... fighting."
  2. TAAron finally heard. He was there in a flash, though he didn't quite know how it happened. "H-Hello."
  3. ??? TAAron was alone, almost. He didn't really know where he was or what he was doing. He just... waited. For orders, perhaps. He felt nothing. A voice still whispered inside of him. This is not the end for you. Not yet. He didn't know what it meant, or maybe he chose not to. After all, it wasn't Kaos. It was somehow insubstantial, yet not himself. No matter. He would continue to wait.
  4. It gives so many hope
    To see another day.
    But when the nighttime comes and goes,
    The worst comes on display.

    The morning chaos brings,
    The trials and regrets.
    The night brings sweet tranquility,
    The rest and quiet death.

    The burning sun's hot rays
    Will burn and cast in light
    The sorrows and realities,
    Expose me in my fight.

    The dark is my own shield,
    For in its silence I
    May hide from all the piercing pain,
    For I may never cry.

    You call it opportunity,
    I call it nature's gun.
    Its colors are Time's forceful threat,
    I fear the rising sun.

      Thanks for the kind words everyone.

      I'm doing... I don't know. It can be hard to find the words. I guess that's kind of what the poem is for.

      Well that's what poetry is for, isn't it?

  5. I'm waiting for something to happen.

    I broke, now what?

    I don't know what's happening, or what's going to happen.

    I'm not going to let myself go to bed.

    I can't. That'll make it worse.

    Does anyone know?

    This is stupid and its my all my fault anyway, sorry.

      I think its a bit more complicated than that, but thanks anyway.

      Unfortunately, none of my assignments are anything anyone can really help with.

      Sorry, good luck. I hope it gets better :(

      The day has started and where I once felt pain, I feel peace.

      Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I think I can do this

      Maybe…but that voice still whispers

      What if you can’t?

      You know your tendencies

      You know what you will do

      I scream at the voice

      Begging it to go away

      But with each passing second

      It only grows stronger

      On and on it grows

      Leaving me sick to my stomach

      Skewing my view of the world

      Tilting my vision

      Hamstringing my ability to function

      To do anything

      Is there an end?

      Is there a way out?

      And the darkness seeps into my vision

      Obscuring my view of all that was bright and beautiful

      Ending my joy

      Perhaps it’s my fault

      No it was always my fault.

       

      Suddenly a light shines through the dark

      A friend’s radiant smiles falls upon me

      And a little of the darkness begins to fade

      Their hand reaches down

      And I reach up

      My mound of problems looms before

      But with a friend by my side

      I can do it

      Or so I think

      With a friend

      The impossible becomes possible

      The darkness turns to light

      And they can turn my sadness 

      Into laughter

      Joy

      And Excitement

  6. None at all. I guess I just do simple poems with structure on the rigid side, usually AABB or ABAB. Yes, including Mexico and Canada plus some others. I think mechanical. Sharpening can be a pain.
  7. Good morning, good evening,

    Good day and goodbye.

    Did you like the taste of

    This fragment of time?

    You know it keeps spinning

    Like clocks on the wind,

    Like hands keep on twisting

    The spot in my mind.

    The pages don't turn, they

    Move 'round and repeat

    In a pre-ordained dance 

    To the relative beat.

    And then our own perception

    Arranges, aligns,

    Making order, though these days

    I can't seem to find.

    And to each fleeting moment

    A name is assigned.

    Good morning, good evening,

    Good day and goodbye.

      That's an interesting perspective. I don't think it's nothing, literally or figuratively. But there is an element of inevitability.

      "Ruler of Everything" by Tally Hall is a very interesting song about time.

      Ooh I just looked it up and it’s pretty neat. I like the sound and the lyrics are very abstract but in a good at that very clearly paints a picture in your mind. :D

      I like it! Good job!

  9. Myrto looked distracted, and the blow caught him off guard. He cried out, then collapsed, unconcious.
  10. "I stood, doing nothing, and he tried to kill me."
  11. Myrto's voice grew quiet and tense. "He provoked me. He was my enemy."
  12. "I'm not degraded. I'm perfectly fine."
  13. "I... would rather not be taken."
  14. "The other man deserved what he got. This guard still did not-" Myrto cut off suddenly, eyes flashing with insane rage. Then he was back to normal. "-need to attack me."
