This is a compilation of a few of my favorites. They're not that great but in all fairness I stopped writing poetry over 4 years ago and so these are from when I was 11-15


Title: Decisions

We are the decisions we make
the risks we take, we realise too late
wondering is this fate?
Outside pressures and influences are misleading
but everything goes about with a meaning
Every action has a consequence
and creates a new feeling
but is this the right way of dealing
with what is on your mind
Just listen to yourself, you're one of a marvellous kind
and I'm sure you'll find
the decision that is you
Be you.


Title: Omerta

And the Omerta that lies here is black grenate
as tense and notorious as its past tenant
the name ma fia, is just a ledgend
'Twas as good as gold when it
were none so cleansed as the senate
and corruptions part of this marvellous pageant
Omerta keeps strong, as the ledgend
Rests In Peace beneath black grenate


Title: Youth of the Nation
Inspired by Youth of the Nation - POD

We are the youth of the nation
together as one, against dictation
they brainwash us with information
It's a human rights violation

Whatever happened to democracy
the world runs around its economy
everyone is sworn to secrecy
politicians lying is just a frequency

Our education has come to fall
our future generation will take that toll
as our government owns our minds
the unknown is the soul

We are the youth of the nation
The governments future generation
bring your own salvation
take control of your own nation


Title: Boundaries of Privacy

Privacy
Where does the boundary lie
When a young child keeps secrets
Or when a teenager defies

Secrecy
Things that should be told
When a man plans a one night stand
Does it differ from young 'n old

Protection
You never stop protecting the ones you love
but when do you take a step back
when do you let go

Solutions
is an invasion of privacy needed
to protect the ones you love
When should the boundary of privacy, be broken.


Title : Deadly colours
Inspiration: Blue - Eiffel 65

Lil' martin looked around
but everything was blue
the grass was blue the sun was blue
until he saw you

Lil martin looked again
and everything turned green
He spun around and spun around
wondering what it could mean

"I must be dreaming" martin said
and suddenly things changed crimson red
Darkness invaded his sight
He thought he was dying,
and he was right


Title: Public Pressure

The perception of a few
tell me why it matters.
How they talk, how they gossip
Why does it matter
that they think of you
in a certain way.
How was this portrayed
Why does it influence
your feelings and thoughts
Why do you want to paint a pretty picture
we all have our faults
our mistakes, our regrets
and before anyone forgets
we're not the same, you're unique
and him and her and them.
And do not think when
others think badly of you
or despise you
that you're not worth
the seas, the stars, the oceans,
and all the heavens
because you're as good as others
looking through the ancestry
we' re all sisters and brothers
forgotten rivals and/or lovers


Title: Roses II

The dead, blackened, rotten roses
resemble our relationship - ripped to pieces
Though the thorns - so fresh and alive
One ###### of the thumb and I'm deprived
of blood, where my heart used to reside.


Title: Under the veils

When you truly open up your eyes
you dont only see what you see
but you will be able to see what others see
and you within their sight

when you've managed to learn to laugh at
your own lifes misfortunes
and learn to love your sacred enemies
then you've captured your own hidden might

When you've unveiled yourself yo the world
and unburdened yourself with your own limitations
happiness will be your rite.

Nice compilation! My favorites would have to be DECISIONS & ROSES II.

Keep 'em coming!

I love, love Youth of the Nation. It's so true. You should post similar ones to it. I'd very much like to read them.
