Best Hopebeautiful Poems


Beautifully Desperate

The sunshine in your eyes gleams of dreams
of past and tomorrow, blinking away the sorrow
of wounded tears spilled these past few years

You always felt that something was missing from your life
was it the countless nights you wish we had
or is it the way I always made you feel that things weren't as bad
Could have been anything or nothing but something of everything
Wish your eyes didn't look so sad

But you're beautiful and amazing
when you're dreaming and stargazing
beyond the houses in your eyes
to bluer looking skies
your hopes telling the sweetest lies

It's a wonderful life with you standing in this field
yearning and churning for a better yield
I guess it's a beautiful thing that you are the way you are
Without you I never would have made it this far

Beautifully Desperate, how do you cling onto what you have
Never understood how you could have been so brave, but glad that you have
sunrise to sunset, dreaming about the friends that you could have met
Always settling for less than the best, but you seemed to have passed the test
Standing with a fist empty of hope, clenched teeth, at the end of your rope
Beautifully Desperate, Beautifully Desperate

But stronger you're stronger than I am

Heartbreak

Cold murder
Fierce cold
That waged war with a fire ball
The thunder claps
The rain smiles
Walking down down memory lane
To those beautiful avenue
Young and beautiful was I,
Free to be me.
Those humble memories I hold with nostalgia
I cherish them more than life
Not long ago,I celebrated my victory
My world nose-dived
I was indeed happy,so glad I made it through
But!...My joy starts to crash
In my very eyes
I must survive,but how would I?
Troubles and confusion the path I only know
Listen,I'm a survivour
I told myself and forged ahead
Burying all hindrances behind,let's go.
Time and time again
I look with tears in my eyes
At the recent happenings
And is as if God is gone
Everything seems black
But,can I still hold on?
My heart is broken
Down and completely out
Well I hoe, hope would arrive soon
And this horrendous nightmare would be over
Only to find out I've been dreaming.

Imagine Me Dead

Just a few hours ago I read your letter 
Explaining to me how you think you’d be better 
Off dead, that your life is no longer worth living 
You say you’ve done things that just aren’t worth forgiving 
The tears that you’ve cried, and the lies that you hide 
How they eat you inside with no one to confide in 
I want you to know that I’ve always been here 
Wanting only to guide you away from your fears 
If you’d only just let me I’d kiss all your tears 
away, you never gave me the chance to be near 
you. So please listen closely my words are sincere 
you would take part of me if you just disappeared 
a big piece of my heart that I could not replace 
along with memories that I could not erase 
like those moments when I brought a smile to your face 
you can NOT convince me that you’ve fallen from grace 
so before you give in take a look at yourself 
not the “you” who’s depended on somebody else 
to feel loved, to feel blessed, to feel beautiful inside 
take a look at the real “you” the one you’ve denied 
cause she’s screaming inside you “please open your eyes!” 
please look past this disguise you’ve created with lies 
there’s a beautiful soul within walls that you’ve built 
out of bricks of low self-esteem, anger, and guilt 
If you’d just let me in I could show you the real you 
with love, unconditional, love that could heal you 
before you listen to that voice in your head 
think of how you would feel if it was me instead 
could you live with yourself if you found me in bed 
with the sheets stained and soaked with the blood that I’ve bled? 
Please remember my face when you start to see red 
When you pick up that blade, just imagine me dead
