Hello poets and songwriters :wave:

The Community Relations team of dA wants to restructure the Literature gallery (and all others).

Lyrics are being changed quite a bit too! Luckily they're asking for our feedback before changing it, so I recommend you comment on the full proposal.

Currently, Lyrics are under Literature > Poetry > [one of the many styles] > Songs & Lyrics. With this change, they would be under Literature > Poetry > Performance > Lyrics. You wouldn't be submitting and browsing them by different themes any longer. And this is true for any type of poetry.

Thoughts? Please comment on the Literature Gallery Restructure Proposal instead of here and join the discussion there :)

Thanks! This is important for our future. :peace:

How would you call it ?
Call it shyness
This trouble I have going towards people
And not looking for acquaintance
 
Call it lazyness
Dragging one's feet, locked in my bubble
Establishing every day more distance
 
Call it fear of mankind
This reason why I can't stand outside
Is not the only one. You stand among them
 
Call it dismay of first kind
This look at me makes want to ride
A comet and fly away from them...

Impressionably Easy
You'll never need me
Just like you'll never want me
Well I don't even need you
I just want to
I've been told that you're not worth it
And I'll tend to believe you
Because the words you spoke in jest
Were the ones that hurt me best
Now this night has opened my eyes
Just like his charm has parted your thighs
Ohhhhhh I'm so impressionably easy
To think that someone so wonderous
would even think to miss me
And when he throws you away
I'll never be your savior
It's been done far too often
I've not the time for you today.
You try blocking me out
Just like I'm blocking you now
You don't need to
you just want to
Now this night has opened my eyes
Just like his charm has parted your thighs
Ohhhhhh I'm so impressionably easy
To think that someone so sensible
could ever do without me

Sometimes
Sometimes I wonder...
wonder how life was first made...how it begun...
Sometimes I imagine...
what would it be like to be loved...to be wanted...
And sometimes i dream and hope and want things to happen
impossible and wonderful things to happen
and no matter how much i dream
and no matter how much i hope and want
they never happen.
Why?
Because life is not a story that we read. We don't just follow along and complain when the story doesn't go our way. Someone else isn't writing the story. We are. And in the end, when our lives are terrible messes...all we have to blame is ourselves, because we didn't rewrite the story.
So life was made. That life decided to be made and it did. it began it's own story.
And to be loved...to be wanted...
It is not something to imagine but rather something to strive for.
We write our own stories.
We are all, in our own ways writers.
Though some of us better than others.

Empty
She's reaching for something
That isn't quite there
She doesn't know what it is yet
And hugs her knees
It's like a shattered dream
That was never dreamt
A lock that never even
Had a set of keys
She's not alone
That's not the word
She has friends; she has family
She's treated quite well
No, the word's empty
Nothing was ever there
A pie that never got it's filling
A story she would never tell
Empty is what she is
Can't do nothing about that
If you don't have a door
You can't ever knock
This feeling inside her
Is it even real?
If she's empty is there
Anything she can feel?
What she's reaching for
It's not a person
It's not an emotion
It isn't even a thing
It will never be found and she'll remain
Empty
Just empty
Empty is what she is
Can't do nothing about that
If you don't have a door
You can't ever knock
This feeling inside her
Is it even real?
If she's empty is there
Anything she can feel?
She's reaching for something
That isn't quite here
She never wants to find what it is

You Never
You were never
Never here
To hold me
And kiss my hair
No, you never
Never showed that you love me
And that you care
You prob'ly didn't
Didn't care
You prob'ly didn't
Didn't care
You prob'ly didn't
Didn't care
You prob'ly didn't care
You never told them
We were a pair
I always loved you
It's not fair
You never loved me
You didn't care
Now I know you didn't
Didn't care
Now I know you didn't
Didn't care
And that this means nothing

i want to hear your footsteps
Footsteps, footprints.
"What is the difference?" you ask me.
"Footprints show you of what was once there . Something that is not necessarily there now.
Something that was, not is.
It can be evidence of a crime, or a constant reminder that someone left.
They bring forward memories, that sometimes long to be forgotten.
Footsteps, however, are made by someone in the present.
A noise that sometimes follows you home.
The noise in the dead of the night, when someone is trying to sneak into bed quietly.
A sound that can bring fear, or safety."
"Which is better?" your smile lights up.
"Footsteps."
"Why?"
"It means I always know you are there."

Off the Top of my Mind
Everything missed once slayed
The never ending cycle of life remade
Turn the page an' you can see that today
everything murky has been washed away
Did you hear?
The day's been remade anew
The past is real, dawg, it's a part of you
Yeah, I see that you stand there dazed an' confused,
but I'm sayin', it's cool, you just got the blues
Yo, off th' toppa my mind, I see visions
Visions of the soul divine, not divisions
It's love encompasses mine, sing holy,
gives angel's their radiant shine, speak slowly
It's like eternity, the lake and the river,
so cool that it's burnin' me, I'm the one to deliver,
Can't you see? Can't you see, hear, or even feel?
By His strikes that he took, we're all made healed
Angels of the highest order
their praises so grand that they shake borders
I'm but a man--
the sky erupts with torrential winds
the heavens rejoice, mortals forgo their sin
How can I get you to see or understand?
This life here is a part of the Master Plan
Greatness awaits you, don't give into th

loose mail
i can sciencespeak through metaphor – jumbled and juxtaposed are
words building the bible between me in my mind. rubber bands
strangle my wrists like hospital bracelets – marking my "identity"
the mere clothing of my iceburg personality;
{roadblocks are just excuses i drown myself in}
and here i am, spilling my guts to you over the phone like loose
mail. paper organs: nerve fibers: thoughts: feelings: & affection
sent in your direction beneath the broken skin of the envelope
stamped with the silhouette of the girl i once was. time zones away
from the place i lived before i met you.
{returntosender please}
my medicated spacesuit of a body wants to cram itself into your
arms, to gut itself into letterform and mail itself to you, because
you are the gravity that always brings me back to the apple core of
things. dead center where the seeds of everything are hiding.
i remember eating fertilizer, hoping my heart would grow stronger,
grow caffeinated clockbeat, until it could race

This is a poem.
This is a poem
For the lovers
For the tweens
For the geeks
And the freaks.
This is a poem
For the unknown
For the people
At their home.
This is a poem
I speak from heart
I heard the voice
It tore me apart.
And I found out
One little thing;
So what if you're a lover,tween,geek,or freak? So what if you're unkown?
You're still you.
That's the best thing you can be.

Trashed
You're gone?
i'm still here
scratching my initials
deep into your dashboard
You're still here... please.
My forsaken name
becomes the strands
and Locks you so cherish
As you toss your hair
and I draw you
on this grayness in front of me
The same way a thirsty throat
draws water from the desert
No, you're not answering my call.
My ears still continue to listen
but I won't pretend
to have glued them on you.
Sweetheart,
we thirst for each other
Simply
for the sake of thirst.
I'm hungry to be
Other than you
starving to be
Individual
and your arms beg me to stay
Demanding my attention
once more
Beeep. Beeep. Bee-
My eyes have
ceased to be scarves
to hold you through the winters
of yourself
I don't distinguish
Anyone
other than you,
(they say
it takes time)
but you didn't crave me
to Ignore the world
I've stayed for so long already...
My voice wasn't meant to be
Sole singer of lullabies
Leave me at peace.
Goodbye.

Ablaze
Dancing on the street
in the middle of the staring crowd
I look stupid, I know
but it makes me feel so proud
this feeling of absolute freedom
I'm hoping against all odds
that you would finally see me
so, yeah, I'm losing my touch
and my frail grip on reality
CHORUS:
In my life there's one thing sure
I'm just your ordinary girl
completely plain and dull
But this music makes me beautiful
yeah, it makes me feel alive
Most of the time
I really don't feel like smiling
but when I'm with you and hear these songs
I'm sure I could rise high, flying
CHORUS x 2
I have a rhythm in my blood
this voice was made to sing
For a moment, forget everything
and let me take you with me
to a world somewhere far above

Demonic Trio
Not quite having parted the womb of your dreams, you find yourself fused with the night.
Habitual, almost as if it's routine, your fingers, they start to recite,
And tearing you back, they trace over the crests to follow the words found in Braille,
Confirming the secrets that they know the best, and reading the fear all too well.
Inscribed near the heart, it translates into "pain" that mingles with senses of "burden",
Bronze droplets (which formed from an unnoticed rain) that never saw dryness since then,
And while one scout feels for the tender excess, another examines the graves,
The hollowed-out cobwebs that march without rest to spoil a youthfulness-crave,
And though your last demon can never be felt (the third in the dread combination),
You know that the youngest imposes on you its' many dark-star constellations.
Its' stellar design sings of wars' aftermath: the bruises from all past mistakes,
The dark hemo-grudges born of desp'rate wrath, the ruining of your blind hate.
The trio

You
You, who caused my depression,
Who fueled my fierce aggression,
Made me go from active to passive.
I dedicate to you these few lines;
I'm sending you these few signs.
You, who made me unhappy,
Who broke me into pieces--
Broke my heart into pieces,
You're the reason for my sorrow,
The reason why I'm below zero.
You, who brought me from color to grayscale,
Who dropped me from heaven straight to hell,
Whom I think about night and day
You're the reason why I fade to gray
Every morning before I go away.
You, who can look at yourself in the mirror
And feel no regret, remorse, or any bitter taste,
I once wished you nothing but the best
And hoped that someday you'd taste
happiness…
But remember, lady luck can bite into
Hurt anyone, next one could be you
So kneel and pray for your future,
When happiness' taste will turn bitter.

Stars
Deafened by the silence
Blinded by the fear
Killed by the roses in the garden
Thorns digging in
Lights are fading fast
Slowly descending, so far down
Her lips still sting from the passion of his kisses
As he fills her head with a thousand silent wishes
All the walls are closing in
All the virtues killed by sin
Walks in the darkness within
Bright stars guiding her back home
The celestial lights
Ghostly apparitions
Moonlight on the fallen snow
Choose what path you will
No time to regret
Your heart knows the way to go
Your lips still sting from the passion of his kisses
As he fills your head with a thousand silent wishes
All the walls are closing in
All the virtues killed by sin
Walk in the darkness within
Bright stars guiding you back home
Flowers slowly turn to dust
Shrivel along with your trust
Evil, rapture pain and lust
Bright stars guiding you back home
Even in this dark cold world
She clung to hope, her wings unfurled
All the walls are closing in
All the virtues killed by sin
Walks

Long Time No News
Can't hear you talk
Can't hear you walk
Can't smell your smell
Or catch my breath
All over this place
That was once our home
Can't hear your voice
Or touch your eyes
The beginning of my demise
Is here, you've been missing for so long
Only you can make me strong
Yes it's been long time no news (since you moved and went away)
I'm still asking myself what did not work between us
You scarred me for life anew (I left you and went away)
The best way to end it was to put distance between us
Can't walk in line
Can't log online
Can't make a call
Yes I fake it all
Just want to fall from this cliff
To see my life pass before my eyes
Can't stay alone
I'm almost gone
Since you have left
I'm almost dead
But you have been missing for so long
What between us went wrong
Yes it's been long time no news (since you moved and went away)
I'm still asking myself what did not work between us
You scarred me for life anew </i>(I left you and went away)</i>
The best way to end it was to put
