Art Battle Volume 3 Submission Thread

[The Germanator]

I'll submit this...

West 17th Street

I can’t recall anything in this house
that was very exciting.
The best was maybe the
one time I celebrated New Year’s there,
or watching a good movie,
or sports game on the television.
It was rather lackluster,
and I still think of it that way
most of the time. Maybe it’s because
the days I spent there were Sunday-Tuesday. Not exactly
the days where much fun is going on. There were some confusing times
for me in the house too. The naive times
where dad wasn’t drunk, he was just “acting weird.” I hated it
when he acted weird, but I hate it
even more
because now
I have to call him drunk,
not just weird.

What to choose, what to choose?


I honestly cant decide when it comes to my Poetry, so even though he is in the competition, Im letting Vampyr choose which Poem i am submitting out of these:


----------------------------------Noise and Pain--------------


Words can play a good game,
Noise is all they are,
Im not the one to blame,
Not the one by far,

You dont see it in my eyes,
You cant hear my heart,
You dont know who I am,
You dont know where to start,

Feelings are only pain to me,
Love is just a lie,
You dont know how to see,
I cant say goodbye.



-------------------------Shame---------------------


I grab your picture,
I walk to the door,
I put on my jacket,
My blood hits the floor,

Tears on my face,
My mind is to blame,
My eyes on my feet,
My heart knows no shame,

I think of the thoughts,
I could have acted bigger,
My mind disagrees,
As I pull the trigger.



----------------------Come on Home-----------------




I think the words I wish to say,
I just want them to go away,
Nothing leaves so here I stay,
Its only you that walks away,

I trail closely right behind,
Hopeing that you will not find,
What your looking for and just rewind,
Whats going on and we'll be fine,

But you keep on going the other way,
I lied when I said "go away",
I need to know that your Ok,
Because im not, So here I stay,

I wish I could just turn back time,
Take back all those stupid lines,
I ****ed up now and Im not fine,
You act as if I committed a crime,

Now I only think the words I wish to say,
Instead of them, You go away,
Just you left, So here I stay,
I wish those words just walked away.
