Just want to be free
Shackled to the earth a slave to each breathSustained life with the oxygen in each oneWeighted down with the burden of existingThe stress weighing close to a tonLooking upward to the heavensThough we shouldn't, we still ask whyAre we to remain bound to the earthWhen all we really want is to flyTo break free from this notion of freedomWe're all still trapped and locked up by a chainIts no longer physical but rather materialTo not think so, to me, thats insaneHome of the brave land of the freeAfraid to stand up for whats rightTaking orders to barely have a checkWhy? Dark clouds hover, I just need some lightAlong with that stress there's moreEmotionally I'm basically in a cageIf my love life was a bookI'd have paper cuts from turning each pageStranded with all that I feelAs if on an uncharted island in the seaStarved from the lack of happiness Dehydrated, no love, no rescue, just meImprisoned by my own thoughtsDoubts, self worth, in mirrors I barely like what I seeSeems like my sentence will last foreverCouldn't pay my way out as there is no feeLooking towards the stars wanting just a wishTo wipe the slate clean is my pleaTo let go all things that weigh me downMy wish? I just want to be free

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY Devonte7638
Freestyle about myselfClimbing to the top Every meter I feel like I need to stop Doubting every ounce of my ability Accepting failure as a reality Wanting to float in the sky Afraid to fall, spread wings and fly Beating myself with the same stick Thought drain from me like a tick Just sick and tired of being sick and tired Stressing day to day, nothing desired Giving myself to those who give none back Left carrying the world, my backpack Faced with the biggest mountain Just to be something other than a fountain Sitting here as my tears get wetter Helping other lives get better Needing to strengthen me The peak is all I want to see Thing is I have every single tool I'm just acting like a straight fool Letting my life get out of control Hoping I find something to fill the hole I put into my own chest Maybe that's why I never rest Uncomfortable where I'm sleeping Wasting my talent, my soul is weeping I need to finally wake up Make some moves and shake up Dismiss wha...  |
My JoyI see freedom in her eyes Whether it's the blue sea or the blue skies A comfort deep in my soul Near her I feel whole Becoming lost in her I find A bit of peace and a still mind Nothing can bring me down At this point it becomes hard to frown She's forever ready to make me smile Even if I've been sad for a while Saved me when I didn't think I needed saving Now her light is all that I'm craving She is my ultimate dream Keeping me afloat on life's stream Growing better with time like wine Feeling she was sent by the divine A blessing she is my gift Guiding me back when I drift Loyal to me since I was a boy She is poetry and she is my joy |
SoullessSoulless Blank like i dry canvas How can you exist |
Youth RegretSo young already living with regret As if my life is already set Have the choices I've already made Cause my bright future to fade Seems as though the skies remain black Stressing for light, giving myself a heart attack There has to be more than this Simply alive waiting for death's kiss Killing myself day to day to day Feeling like I just want to run away Just to find a shred of peace Find serenity and sign the lease Drop this life and live my dream Out of nowhere im hit with the beam Beamed up back to reality Everything sets in, pouring out sanity Feeling aa though I'm already in a rut Endless winter surviving off one nut Just wishing it'll be warm Negative thoughts in my mind swarm Were the decisions I made that poor Will I not live for more If given the choice to change, could I Reform the past but should I Was it all meant to be like it was pre-sent To bring me to the present Though it doesn't feel like a gift More like being stuck in a... |
DebtI've given you so much To a point where there is no return You probably don't fully understand So it'll all most likely burn In one of your dark times I gave you a generous loan At first there was no interest That eventually hurt me to the bone You started talking about how you How you owe me one One became two, three, four plus more To a point where about done Time to call your loan in Everything I gave you now foreclosed Until you pay me back with interest Mind fully made up and composed But you'll never give me back What I gave you, my heart The debt will remain Until death does us apart |
Like the flowerMuch like the beginnings of a flower We come into the world without choicePure and without much powerCan't change the start, we have no voiceBuried deep in the warmth of shadeAt the mercy of the world around usAfter time and nourishment the endless night will fadeBrought into the light with a slight fussWe sprout, fresh air, life starts hereTo live under the light of the sunThough nothing at first is clearWell that's only true for one.The flower knew what is was from the seedWe struggle to find meaningful existenceTo simply be apart of the ecosystem is all they needWe'll sell our souls for some type of importanceTo be like a flower with out a careTo know little to no stress To dance with the current of the airTo see the beauty in rain and the sun's caressInstead of breaking my back for the planetThe atlas of those I care forPatie... |
Born with love, filled with hateAt birth we have experinced a form of love Love is the natural emotion Like venom slowly corsing through your vein Finding yourself intolerent of anothers skin Seeds of hate begin to bloom |
why poetry feel deeplyWhy Poetry/Feel Deeply Why poetry? Not my dream as a kidBarely liked to read let alone writeStrayed from the initial path, glad I didThe fall awakened this hidden lightNow i feel deeply the world around meThe landscape inspires the artBeauty is everything is what I seeConnected to it all with words and my heartStill why did it have to be poetryThoughts deeper than snow white's sleepCreativity as vast and unpredictable like the seaThe pen the shepherd the letters become sheepishTo express everything I feel so deeplyAs if everything and everyone is tied to my soulComplex descriptions for things done so simplyYou see a picture of a shirt, I see every holeComing back to poetry, I continue with the whyThe right words become etched in my brainCrafting vessels in which your spirit can flyRunning on my emotions fuel that never drainTrying to un... |

EternityThere is more than one way to love From the ground to the skies aboveAs people differ, loves works the same wayCoexisting yet separate like night and dayAnywho my point is thisTrue love isn't simply based on a kissOr even being togetherAs long as it last foreverLove comes at you from any angleCan cause you brain to tangleConfusing yes but its very clearWhat matters is what you feel in hereBecause I've loved no matter the situationEven if I didn't fit in the equationIf you're in my heartI'll never let you fall apartLove is infinite so there's always some to giveEven if I fade in the background it'll still liveWhether I'm a lover, friend or brother my love has no warrantySo if love you, in whatever way, it'll be for eternity |
