THE POEMS
"The Secret Life Of Children" によって Contestant Number 1
The kids are hunched over fires
Laughter licking it’s way along the ground
And up the crumbling walls
Faded marks of war smeared beneath eyes
Rosy cheeks, dry, cracked lips
Dirt sits comfortably beneath bitten fingernails
Bony arms and legs jutting out
In primitive, animal, angles
The kids see everything
Crouched behind the bushes
With their shining eyes and willing ears
Adult secrets no longer whispered behind closed doors
But declared as undeniable, unremarkable truths
Gathering in worn, forgotten lots
Creating cities made of talk, and touch, and joy
Seeing all but seen によって few
The kids disperse
Mother’s calls crawl along the breeze
Urging weary soldiers home
Wordless goodbyes, a wave, and a nod
Feet thumping along paths and pavement
Carrying them from battle, from play, from companions
Cleaned and dressed, sent to bed
Left to dream of glorious tomorrows

Lord of the Dance? によって Contestant Number 2
His costume glitters with sequins and jewels
His dancing shoes glisten and shine
The 音楽 begins as his dancers dance in,
Feet tapping in rhythmic line
He waits for his cue in the shadows and smiles
He’s hearing the roar of the crowd
The sound of cheers is sweet in his ears
They call to him, clear and loud
(But what is he left with,
When the applause dies away and the cheering ceases?
What is he left with?)
The spotlight dazzles his eyes as he enters
The audience screams out his name
And then with a leap and a blurring of feet
He dances as wild as a flame
He’s the 星, つ星 of his show, this spectacle grand
The stage is his world without end
A vast expanse on which to dance
Where Magic and Realism blend
(But what is he left with,
When the dance is no もっと見る and the stage is bare?
What is he left with?)
The grand finale now draws to a close
A standing ovation at last!
They shout for more, “Encore! Encore!”
So he grants to them one final dance
Then he flashes a smile and blows them a kiss
He lifts his arms high, he bows
Drunk on fame and the praise of his name
He basks in what fortune allows
(But what is he left with,
When the thrill passes and the glory fades?
What is he left with?)
He flirts with the ladies, poses for cameras
And waves at the crowd of his fans
Autographs here and contracts there
And for the 次 program, he plans
But the spark in his eyes is empty and false
And his soul remains unsatisfied
He can't fill his desire または kindle true fire
Despite every wonder he’s tried.
(For what is he left with,
When everyone leaves and loneliness surrounds him?
What is he left with?)
He has chosen ファン over true friendship.
Fleeting thrills over everlasting joy.
Greedy ambition over genuine fire.
Stardom over servanthood.
Arrogance over humility.
Lust over love.
He refuses to admit it...but in his ハート, 心 of hearts, he knows.
There is an aching emptiness which he cannot fill.
For he would rather be the lord of the dance
Than to serve the Lord of the Dance.

Our World によって Contestant Number 4
あなた turn on the TV and what do あなた see?
Another bomb in Iraq, another hurricane in the Caribbean Sea.
Children are dying, houses are flooded.
People just stare, all of them cold-blooded.
Another 火災, 火 in California, another tsunami swept the coast of Bali.
Another attack in India, another dead child in Mali.
While あなた stare at the screen and eat your food,
Isn’t your feast a little bit rude?
Breaking news announce the civil war in Sudan.
Tell me, Presidents, Ministers, what is your plan?
“Free Tibet” banners are burned on the beach.
Tell me, what happened to the freedom of speech?
Radars will be put in Poland and the Czech Republic,
Dear officials, do あなた care to know the opinion of the public?
Cuban news try to hide distress
Whatever happened to the freedom of press?
The world is dying, poverty on every street,
Yet あなた walk around with Gucci on your feet.
People have no 食 または water,
Every 秒 a mother loses a daughter.
As the deadly clock ticks by
People around the world die.
How can あなた sleep knowing your aid
Could’ve saved another person from Death’s blade…?

Vanilla Wings によって Contestant Number 5
I stood and watched the feathers,
As they'd fall tender to my ears
Falling like an Angel
Who had nothing left to fear
Drowning in the silence of
The roaring of the tide
And none of them could surface
Their wings had all been tied
I had a word with God today
Of 天使 and their kin
Of feathers and weathered dreams
Of children and their sins
How frequently I listened to
The 天使 when they cried
As they'd fallen from their clouds
And had no wings to fly
I had a word with God today
But he didn't know my name
When I asked him why he said,
"Everybody looks the same"
I couldn't help but notice
Him standing in the sand
And when I reached out for him
He wouldnt take my hand
I went to see my God today
To have a word again
To have him soothe my fears away
But he wouldn't let me in
He was buried in the feathers
Of all the 天使 that were fell
So I told him I was leaving,
And that I wish him well
Then I took a wingless dive into
The brand new world below
To 登録する all the Angels
that had fallen long ago
But when I saw あなた standing
With my halo in your hand
My gaze had all been stolen
As I fast approached the land
Your beauty like an Angel
Who had never seen the sky
A beauty without compare
To these Angelic eyes
I watched あなた stand there waiting
With my wings laid at your feet
I could only pray to God above
That あなた were there for me
I fell into your arms that day
With nothing left to fear
I melted into your embrace
As あなた wiped at all my tears
あなた led me to a different heaven
One I couldn't find above.
あなた took me deep into your world,
then wrapped me in your love.
I had a word with God today
About all the things he's done
Of all that he's created
You're my お気に入り one.
He told me he was glad to
Finally see me smile
He told me was glad that
あなた made everything worthwhile.

Cycles によって Contestant Number 6
As one 星, つ星 dies
Another is born
As one civilization crumbles
Another is born
As one life ends
Another begins
So goes the endless cycle
Of life,death and rebirth

Deliberately Delirious によって Contestant Number 7
Deliberate applause for each moment left for a pause, i purposefully do not applaud.
They raise their fists; clenched at each wrist, pointing at my deliberate ploy to topple their 雲, クラウド like a toy.
I hear the screams in the background, oh Gaza, with its deliberate beat thumping in my mind like all of our bad dreams; 画像 of hope wrestle with deliberately distorted beliefs encased in dope.
I open my eyes to see what i am shown, and then deliberately close them to my own wise thoughts, free from these thieves.
The 日付 is written, the time is clocked, history is made today at four o'clock, as i deliberately run, not walk, through those doors made of rock.
Discrimination is not a fabrication to be deliberately littered with empty fruitless words that only aspire to fruition.
And so i too clench my fists, stamp my feet, and dance to the tune of rebellion, happily whistling as their 雲, クラウド topples down in a 雲, クラウド of dust.

Best フレンズ turned Strangers によって Contestant Number 9
She was a girl with a lifetime of experiences
He was a boy who had been through a tough time too
They grew up together
Best フレンズ forever
That was the promise they made
A promise that would soon fade
As tragedy struck the younger of the two
The little boy’s mom got sick and went away
They ロスト touch with each other
She found the words too hard to say
Years later they met again
Mere glances across a crowded room
She was too afraid to speak
He was too shocked to move
They ストール, 盗んだ glances at each other all night
Both too afraid to speak
But never losing sight
Of the one they thought they would never again meet
When the night was over
And both had gone there separate ways
In the end both too afraid
To speak the truth
And end their silly charade
They thought of each other
Both with a tear in their eyes
Wondering if things could have been different
Had they both not decided to hide

My private intervention によって Contestant Number 10
The other girls are going to the mall,
I have no energy to.
I act differently,
but this drug has a weird affect.
When I look in the mirror,
I don't look back.
It's someone else,
not me.
I tell everyone I'll stop soon,
I know I won't.
It's a habit,
That's all,
but It's more,
and I'll suffer.
When finally I've realized what has happend to me,
it"ll be too late.
I always thought this addiction was temporary,
turns out I was wrong,
I should've never looked into your eyes,
but now your my drug, and I need help.

The Mask によって Contestant Number 11
Some hearts are strong, made of steel,
On the right path forever.
Some are weak and eas’ly turned,
Like the down または heather.
The problem is, what あなた see,
Isn’t always what’s inside.
Strong behind a mask of weak,
Isn’t hard to find.
It is the weak masked,
As strong, that causes fear.
The person inside,
May not be in the mir’r.
So, 登録する me now my fairy friends,
If フレンズ あなた be,
And let us all remove our masks,
Of fear and uncertainty.
For where I’m taking you,
There are no masks.
あなた are seen for what,
あなた truly are.
In this realm, evil,
Ugliness binds, and
The pure of ハート, 心 from,
Inside to outside shine.
How do あなた know,
This is true?
Well, I’m afraid,
It’s up to you.
Choose to believe me, if あなた will.
If not, I will be here still.
Waiting for the next,
To extend their hand,
And 登録する me in this,
Magical land.

Have あなた ever lived my life,
Spent one 分 in my shoes?
If あなた haven't, then tell me why
あなた judge me as あなた do.

Barely Noticed によって Contestant Number 14
Life is an iPod
The different melodies, the ups and the downs
Changes in tempo
Every song and every experience differs a little from the next.
Start with the tinkling bells,
Meaningless lyrics;
Soothing sounds of early childhood.
Everything is simple;
Repetition
A song for young ears
One song flows into the next
Changing subtly, barely noticed.
The words begin to gather もっと見る depth;
The beat becomes a little faster,
A little louder
As time passes the 音楽 picks up strength,
The tempo increases
The melody weaves patterns
In and out of the rhythm
The cycle repeats.
Until finally the volume lowers
Ears re-adjust
The 音楽 becomes less irregular, settles into a pattern.
Life moves on
One song running its full length before another begins
No skipping around
The 音楽 becomes softer
Softer
It fades into the background
It slows
Almost to stop as work
As life
Carries on;
The lyrics tattooed inside the brain
Thinking is no longer required
The 音楽 slips to the back of the mind.
Forgotten,
For now
Retirement doesn’t block out the music,
It brings it forward.
Nothing else on the mind,
音楽 pushes its way back in;
Taking on a different shape
In songs heard a thousand times,
Suddenly there comes new meaning.
The 音楽 gets louder,
Complicated
Beautiful
音楽 pounds until the red light flashes,
The iPod’s battery wears down.
The volume gets softer;
Preserving energy
Until finally
The energy is gone
The 音楽 has run its course.

Apart によって Contestant Number 15
She said, “If I didn’t know your name,
“I’d call あなた home.”
When he touches her hand, it is not butterflies
that make her ashamed of her chipped nail polish,
and she has no inclination of heaven または angels…
Between the secret glances…
In the negative 宇宙 before they touch…
In the hidden limbo between Midnight and Morning…
It simply Is.
But then, Sunday screams quick as lightening
She's shattered in shambles (feed the fire)
His hunt is hindered, haplessly haunted (point of no return)
によって lullabies of a cartoon masquerade
“I 愛 you”
And as I do
I 愛 to lie to you
A man can learn that a woman is a dungeon
in which he’d be glad to drown.
And a woman can learn that a man is a hero
who will always let her down.
“Don’t be afraid, Daddy’s coming home,”
As soon as the alcohol rots my bones.
Her 草 can’t be greener if I scorch it black
And then, it won’t grow back again.
This is the lament of the ugly duckling
Who never became a swan
This is the revenge of the ugly duckling
Who always played the pawn
… But in the negatives of Polaroids, you’ll still remain the same…

Expressions によって Contestant Number 16
This is the happiest I've ever been
To be here today in joy and light
To shine in glory though not all mine
I've never been so happy in my life
I aknowledge those who brought me here
You, あなた and not forgetting the best, You.
I 愛 that あなた 愛 me enough to be here
To give me this so I can smile again
I'll never forget the way it is
または was または could ever be
I will always remember this bouquet
My favourite お花 in all of springs glory
I'm poor and doomed, dried and dead
But always, I know you'll be my listening ear
The shoulder to lean, the hand to help
Now I'm sure,
This is the happiest I've ever been

Lingering, whispering によって Contestant Number 18
Inevitable
my eyes glisten,
as hatred rests in my gaze.
I’m staring at shadows,
whispering your name,
while burning tears scar my face.
Even with only anger left, I doubt,
for I hate you,
because of what あなた are…
so much もっと見る than I.
But I stay silent,
watching you, and あなた alone, from far.
You’re chained to my heart,
but even so, these 苦い words on my tongue
make me deny.
And they make me wonder,
make me wonder
why.
Vengeance makes me strong,
keeps me alive
Yet this “love” breaks my soul, so I close my eyes.
But I’ll have to open them once again,
and the trail will linger,
even if the tears will dry.

Love and Light によって Contestant Number 19
Darkness
it stands resolutely at the edge of our minds
constantly it stays, causing doubt and hatred
we must fight the darkness
fight with our souls
あなた are not alone in the battle
light must prevail
believe with your whole heart
in the goodness of men
for that is the only way
to fight the battle
We must brighten the world
but what to do it with?
what do we, mere mortal men
have to battle darkness?
We have the greatest thing
no shadow could overcome,
Light must battle dark.
the greatest weapon we have,
is love
So fight the battle
fight for the right side
wield the right sword
Fight for 愛 and light

Don't Plagiarized によって Contestant Number 20
If あなた want to create a poem
あなた must learn もっと見る words about English.

Don't take the writings from other else,
But Don't Plagiarized!

Love によって Contestant Number 24
I'm tired of being your booty call;
the one あなた call when no one cares
I'm tired of feeling the way I feel,
so I'm going to take my self out of the game.
and watch from the sidelines
Cause whats the point in playing the game if your gonna loose....... like i do.
I'll always be here to cheer あなた on;
I'll even shed tear just because your gone.
Inside I'm hurting;
and I know あなた are too...
I'm sorry it had to end this way;
but maybe in another life we could play the same game,
and win everytime...
but for now all I'm going to say is bye,
I'll see あなた 次 time.

Carving Angels によって Contestant Number 25
Above me, with my head on the grass,
I thought I saw eyes peer down at me,
Golden によって nature and clear as glass.
Tragic as the battle of the Bismarck sea
Did we meet,
With her hand in mine and a smile open wide.
Inside me, where my ハート, 心 lay still,
I felt her image rest within me,
Warm with ease and dressed to kill.
Engraved in my mind were her words
She spoke quietly,
Promising to bring me to that unknown place.
Beneath me, where the ground sunk away,
The 草 had yet to touch her feet,
Agile and pale like a liquid diamond display.
Forgotten were the days I dreamed of seeing
Slowly fade to black,
As she blinded me with her sun
And buried me in her clouds.

My Angel によって Contestant Number 26
The beauty of an エンジェル sweet
Did fall from heaven above
And toward some beautiful pearly feet
Came gliding like a dove
But oh this girl on 上, ページのトップへ of which
The エンジェル did descend
Did indeed have quite the itch
Upon a river to wend
And so she went and bought a boat
To take her on her way
She stepped aboard and was afloat,
then glided from the bay.
A fellow traveler did she meet
A’stranded in a pond
And with her beauty oh so sweet,
She saved him with her wand
Upon her joyous face a smile
Of never ending cheer
Evoked from old and hidden files
Bright eyes devoid of fear
And so was every 日 aboard
The angel’s elusive ship
A bigger, grander, もっと見る magical reward
Than on any other trip
He prayed that He could ride with her
for many moments more,
and find a way to dine with her
and talk of 愛 and lore
Because upon one fateful night
She made this poor boy soar
And now I live just for the sight
Of あなた outside my door.

The Unfinished Story (Based on a true story) によって Contestant Number 27
He found himself lost, not taking credits for his acts,
he had denied the truth, the evidence, the facts.
Everyone had seen it and so did he,
but out of all the things, this wasn't where he wanted to be.
He didn't wanna talk, didn't want to confess,
but this only had made him もっと見る of a mess.
All those sleepless nights, tossing and turning,
It took him a while, before he was learning.
This was something he couldn't avoid, something he truly couldn't surpass,
he had never realized, he was falling so fast.
愛 is where he would plunge, deeper and deeper every day,
but realizing who he was loving, only put him to dismay.
Somehow this had changed him, もっと見る than あなた would think,
he was headed for a breakdown, right at the brink.
She was already in love, someone else had her heart,
except this wasn't the only thing that seemed to tear him apart.
They were best friends, and that's how they would remain,
that's how it would always be, and all the pain would he sustain.
What had made things もっと見る worse than needed, was something that made his surrender, that raised his white flag, that left him defeated.
She left her place where they had met, leaving him in solitary,
forcing him to 移動する on, give up, onward with his life would he carry.
He could not let this go, not her, not now,
so he spends his nights, thinking, what do I do, and how?
Then one night, light was shined on the circumstances,
it all came in a whisper, it showed him his chances.
He's making it now, his wounds are mending,
but there's something in my gut, something bad it is sending.
He's moving on, fairly well, but all within the process,
he's losing himself and every day, there is always a little less.
I'm hoping she'll come back soon, cause this story isn't done,
for the good guys still have not yet won.

I am what I am によって Contestant Number 28
I am a lonely girl, sitting on the side walk
Pushing あなた away when it’s time to talk
I am the teacher’s student, staring into space
Not sure that being here is worth the waist
I am the walls surrounding you, grace and all
Hoping I wouldn’t fall while あなた were gone
I am the sky above you, and in my haste
Forgot what I truly was, turn dark again
Forget that I am a true color, honest blue
または at least what those below me said
I am the words あなた say, dark and true
Knowing eventually I’ll get it too
I am a path in the night, dead ahead
Trying hard to forget the hurtful words あなた said
I am the fading letters on your keyboard
Knowing, eventually, I’ll get back up again
I am the days of your life, both long and short
For reasons only あなた and I know
I am the silence heard between your words
So sure that the tables will never turn
I am the lump inside your throat
あなた feel when あなた want to say ‘no’
To all the sins あなた were a victim of
And know あなた are so dumb to think
That when the thought of it disappeared
So would the memory
I am the word hanging in the air
That ‘Goodbye’ we’re both so reluctant to share
We cannot leave until it’s said
I am this fear, so hurt and raw
Knowing this blow would make あなた fall
Hoping against hope that it wouldn’t
And, under your intense scrutiny
I am all I could possibly ever be.

My Grandmother. によって Contestant Number 30
The greatest realisation hit,
when her lover had departed.
The truth could now be hid no more,
Confusion, anger and fear.
Confusion lead to pain and weakness,
Anger spurted tears,
The fear of which we all did live with,
slowly, resolutley,
sent daggers to our hearts.
The choice was left for us to make,
the biggest... it hurt.
Although at first, unendurable,
Time made us ロスト for words.
No need to be confused it seemed,
The pain had settled down,
But best of all, the anger,
reduced, deducted, gone?
And again, all seemed well.
Ourselves forgot, mistake involved,
that age cannot be thwarted.
A simple, true and honest fact,
That makes a mark on all.
No warning, preperation,
We were prehaps asleep.
But newly resurected came,
Consusion, anger, fear.
I went one 日 to visit,
She was no longer there.
I call it luck,
She was alive,
A struggle to survive.
Months were spent,
In the confides of a hospital bed,
A weakness overheld us,
Waiting.. the time we waited.
Was it luck again?
That enabled her to leave.
または deservation, determination?
We were pesamistic,
We thought her gone,
Forever, we regarded,
That those three words would haunt us.
Confusion, anger, fear.
Impossible, irrecovable.
We never though she'd walk again.
We didn't think she'd eat.
How did the strength find it's way?
where, did it live?
I think I know an answer,
She had it all along.
The strongest woman I will know,
A remarkable thing,
I could never have immagined.
We were blessed,
why? I do not know.
I know it's not forever,
And so I always keep in mind,
whilst enjoying her strength and her kind.
That age cannot be thwarted,
And we all in turn will die.

Confessions of a Rock によって Contestant Number 31
I sit here, unmoving, in this lovely dull park.
The passersby react to me as they might the
homeless: they may glance at me when they think I am not
looking...
but I am forever looking.
It is not impolite for me to stare.
I see imperfections, acts that they wish to hide:
The garbage tossed casually into the water,
the exchange of money and white powder
between strangers,
and one night, even the loss of innocence...
and life.
Her screams will haunt me forever.
But of all the ugliness that takes place here,
beauty surrounds it and, while the seasons change,
I remain the same.
And at the end of the 日 I am content to be
just a statue
on a pedestal
in a park.

The Woods によって Contestant Number 33
Twilight approaching
Walking, falling, indefinitely toward an unreachable perfection
Light coming and going, there is no hope
Pushed in the Dark Woods, stumbling, grabbing straws
Heartedly falling, no where to go, no one to see, laying there
Hopeless, timeless, immutable, staying down.
Suddenly, leering, Silver Smiles, glowing, creating their own light, I fall
"Follow," hopeless, timeless I rise to a new horizon, a new dimension, a better reality
In standing here, I sink deeper into Reality there, I follow.
I follow my teachers, darker and darker into the woods, deeper and deeper I trust.
The trees climb the sky, killing the moon, higher, higher until my guides are invisible
Unable to see the light from those smiles, I trip, stumble and grabbing pine needles, I fall
Hopeless, timeless I lay in my new grave; No self, no point, nothing felt
Swaying like a reed によって a river's bank, an angelic like beauty boasting three heads
Emitting yet a brighter light than my 前 guides
"Lead me," says my new found hope, "Lead me"
Walking we descend deeper into this forest
My left foot passing my right foot, quicker, still quicker, my beauty and I run
Chasing nothing, no one chasing.
Deeper, colder, blacker the darkness of this forest drowns my follower
She my light and now no more; no hope, hopeless
I sit, thinking nothing, not thinking.
Around me the owl, the wolf, the mountain lion, hunting in these darkened, ancient woods
Searching for survival they are, I cannot resist the instinct to stay, hopelessly.
Thicker, ubiquitous now, the dark has swallowed me
Hopeless, timeless, immutable; I sit
No self, no point, nothing felt; sitting
Chasing nothing, no one chasing; staying
Thinking nothing, not thinking; sinking
Then, driven によって Gravity I am pushed down through the forest floor, through a canal
Light peering: changing, ticking, singing; Light
Burning my eyes, a familiar, distant Reality, the woods buried therein.
Dawn has broke

Oh Herald! によって Contestant Number 34
Oh Herald! speak so that I may speak again
For in silence my ハート, 心 yearns for him.
The emptiness blinds my vision with tears,
And I fear my weakness he still hears.
Oh Messenger of my soul please make haste.
I have no もっと見る sorrow for hatred to waste.
His words are the motive for his murderous deeds,
And with his witty retorts, my 愛 painfully bleeds.
Oh, divine Savior please give me relief.
Please severe my incredibly hopeless belief.
または if thoust cannot end the feelings inside,
Take out my heart, and my soul may あなた hide.
For to 愛 a mortal the way mortals do
Is surely the worst torture that Heaven can do.
Oh, come now and offer me a remedy!
To ease my worries and set my 愛 free.
In silence his voice resounds through space,
And in stillness I can see only his face.
So Lord of Justice, take these feelings away,
And no longer in 愛 with shall I stay.

Freckles and Teardrops によって Contestant Number 35
see your tearstains on your face
Your mind...it seems out of place
Heard your plan to hurt yourself
So I picked up this paper from the bookshelf
I started to write
I wrote in despite
of the darkness lurking inside me
Suicide isn't a solution
Don't consider it an option
I'm your friend, you'll find
that あなた don't have to feel confined
It doesn't have to end this way
Please don't go away...
I've been there
just know...that I care...

Pie, so sweet and savoury on my tongue,

I know my happiness is about to begin.

I am the Driver によって Contestant Number 37
‘Does that make it zero-risk? No. Is life without risk interesting? No.’ Wing Commander Andrew Green
A thousand miles per hour- land speed record.
The wind rushes through my hair as I find I can’t afford
to stop this whirlwind of a life. They’ll be
fast cars and superstars. The fee
of admission あなた ask. A supersonic engine.
Bloodhound によって name, bloodhound によって nature. I follow
the scent of a human frame. I’m on an Apollo
mission. But then I take off only to find
that, untrue to myself, I have become blind
to reality. And I 愛 it?
Right now I’m in first place- here I plan to stay.
No competition. Bluebird, Thunderbold, Railton, out of my
way.
But make no mistake, once I reach terminal velocity
I know, I will start to slow. So I’m gonna
polish my own titanium. For now.

Sisters Forever によって Contestant Number 38
I could never live without my sister
That I can’t deny
あなた bring joy to my life when you’re によって my side
When you’re gone it feels like my world has been destroyed
Together we fill our lives with laugher
Our memories will last forever and ever
No matter if we argue
または get in stupid fights
We 愛 each other from the heart
Best フレンズ for life
Just always remember
I’ll 愛 あなた forever
Because we’re
Sisters forever

Untitled によって Contestant Number 39
One 日
Centuries from now
They will find our bodies
Long since dead,
Long since forgotten
Buried together
Under the same blue sky,
Under the same green 草
And when they find our bodies
They won't know what colour our skin was
our BONES（ボーンズ）-骨は語る- are grey
They won't know if we were beautiful
our faces will rot
They won't know if we were thin または fat
our flesh will not remain
They won't know in which gods we found our faith
they will not know our minds
And when they find our bodies
Our petty wars and hollow causes
will exist only as the tales of a distant time,
Our fleeting words of hope and fear
will be ロスト to the earth and the rising sea,
And all the things that forced us
to draw lines,
to fight eachother,
to stand apart,
Shall fade to dust
And the centuries past
will unite us.

09 Bonnie and Clyde によって Contestant Number 40
I sit here and think
About Bonnie and Clyde
And i cant help myself
I want that life
The running and robbing
And 愛 they one had
The rush of the 時
The feeling of bad
The crossing the lines
From state to state
Sometimes theyd try
But it was to late
They had chosen that life
Til the 日 that they died
And i cant help but want
That very same life
It must have been funn
At least for a while
The things that theyd done
Were not very wise
But they had there gunns
And 愛 with blind eyes
I hope that one 日
I will find my right guy
Robbing banks または Shopping Sprees
One 日 hell be all mine
The 愛 that they had
Was unique indeed
It was the kind
The one that i need
So i say once もっと見る
That one 日 i will
Have adventure, romance, and why
Because one 日 well be
The 次 Bonnie and Clyde

If I Were... によって Contestant Number 41
If I were a paintbrush of splendour,
I would create a painting so brilliant
With splashes of hate brightened によって love,
With dashes of joy darkened によって misery,
And with an endless turmoil of every feeling, every thought,
And memories forgotten.
If I were an ominous 雲, クラウド of approaching danger,
I would splay a net of warning
To the ones who cringe from hurt
And test the resilience of the fine thread
That balances the life of those who resist.
If I were the precise, focused eyes of a predator,
I would pick out the absonant lopes of an antelope
That strings a twine of discordance
Through the rhythmic flow
Of the galloping of an agitated herd.
If I were the breath of the Winter Queen,
I would arouse a storm so bitter
That the very being of life is chilled to the core,
Until all within my reach
Has felt winter’s wrath.
If I were hate,
I would rip the brittle structure of the world
Into wretched shards of envy, lose, hate,
And 愛 for the pain of others.
If I were the chimes of crystal bells,
I would empty my cup of music
Onto the clouds that hover just above,
So that the music, so sweet to the ears,
Can rain down in a phantom storm.

An Abridged Version Of
The One With The Poem によって Contestant Number 42
So フレンズ begun and it began with a bang
Chandler made jokes and Phoebe sang,
Ross was glum whilst Rachel was free
Well if あなた escaped Barry, wouldn't あなた be?
Monica had relationships but they ended badly
Joey had auditions but never got parts, sadly.
Phoebe found a thumb but never knew her Dad,
She hardly saw her sister but for that she was glad
Ross and Rachel got it on and Chandler was still funny,
But then Eddie moved in and he wasn't a happy bunny
Monica found Richard and Joey got a new job too
But he missed Chandler, well wouldn't you?!
Whilst Phoebe found her brother Rachel found the list,
Ross was devastated, but of course there was a twist
Richard didn't want kids, and a prom video was to be found,
Ross was Rachel's lobster, it was smiles and kisses all round
When Monica ロスト Richard, Janice came onto the scene
But Chandler found her annoying, her laugh was just obscene!
The フレンズ played Football and Rachel was made to 'go long'
Phoebe sang Smelly Cat and so it was her signature song
Monica worked as a chef as Ross and Rachel took a break,
He tried to keep his drunken night a secret, of course for Rachel's sake
But it proved the wrong thing to do as Rachel found out anyway,
He tried his best but to no avail, Ross didn't know what to say
Chandler finally dumped Janice, no もっと見る 'bing-a-ling',
Whilst he, Monica and Joey were freaked によって a jellyfish sting
Rachel moved on as Ross found Emily and got set to wed,
But at the alter it was not Emily's name but Rachel's that he said
When they got together, Monica and Chandler surprised us all,
The gang went out to Vegas whilst Joey made a call
He didn't want them to know he hadn't got the part,
The フレンズ found out anyway, and helped him make a fresh start
Chandler tricked Monica, and a proposal was what he did,
She happily accepted, their 次 step was a kid!
Phoebe made クッキー but the recipe was not her own,
Monica found out they were Nestle's and boy, did she moan.
Then came the time for Mon and Chan's special day,
Chandler got cold feet but he got there anyway
Rachel had a secret that was to be revealed there and then,
She was pregnant, and needed to tell Ross but didn't know when
Ross was shocked but was happy he had a sister for Ben,
Joey too had a secret, he loved Rachel (like most men!)
Rachel was flattered but wanted to remain friends,
She then had a baby as her and Ross made amends
As the holiday ended Ross found out about the kiss,
He pretended he was fine but it was something he couldn't dismiss
Joey and Rachel stayed フレンズ and Phoebe married fast
Whilst Monica and Chandler found a baby they could adopt at last
Rachel was offered a job but it was too far away
How could she leave Ross, could he not persuade her to stay?
She left for the plane but he raced to bring her back
She couldn't do it and boarded the plane, she thought she was back on track
Monica and Chandler had brought the twins home,
While a sad Ross just wanted to be alone
A voice message told him Rachel wanted to get off the plane,
And as the door swung open it was Rachel that came
So there it was as Monica and Chandler got set to leave,
They had all spent ten years together, it was hard to believe
Tears and sadness followed as they put their keys on the side,
As they left the apartment, knowing they'd made an impact worldwide.

THE POEMS
"The Secret Life Of Children" によって Contestant Number 1
The kids are hunched over fires
Laughter licking it’s way along the ground
And up the crumbling walls
Faded marks of war smeared beneath eyes
Rosy cheeks, dry, cracked lips
Dirt sits comfortably beneath bitten fingernails
Bony arms and legs jutting out
In primitive, animal, angles
The kids see everything
Crouched behind the bushes
With their shining eyes and willing ears
Adult secrets no longer whispered behind closed doors
But declared as undeniable, unremarkable truths
Gathering in worn, forgotten lots
Creating cities made of talk, and touch, and joy
Seeing all but seen によって few
The kids disperse
Mother’s calls crawl along the breeze
Urging weary soldiers home
Wordless goodbyes, a wave, and a nod
Feet thumping along paths and pavement
Carrying them from battle, from play, from companions
Cleaned and dressed, sent to bed
Left to dream of glorious tomorrows

Lord of the Dance? によって Contestant Number 2
His costume glitters with sequins and jewels
His dancing shoes glisten and shine
The 音楽 begins as his dancers dance in,
Feet tapping in rhythmic line
He waits for his cue in the shadows and smiles
He’s hearing the roar of the crowd
The sound of cheers is sweet in his ears
They call to him, clear and loud
(But what is he left with,
When the applause dies away and the cheering ceases?
What is he left with?)
The spotlight dazzles his eyes as he enters
The audience screams out his name
And then with a leap and a blurring of feet
He dances as wild as a flame
He’s the 星, つ星 of his show, this spectacle grand
The stage is his world without end
A vast expanse on which to dance
Where Magic and Realism blend
(But what is he left with,
When the dance is no もっと見る and the stage is bare?
What is he left with?)
The grand finale now draws to a close
A standing ovation at last!
They shout for more, “Encore! Encore!”
So he grants to them one final dance
Then he flashes a smile and blows them a kiss
He lifts his arms high, he bows
Drunk on fame and the praise of his name
He basks in what fortune allows
(But what is he left with,
When the thrill passes and the glory fades?
What is he left with?)
He flirts with the ladies, poses for cameras
And waves at the crowd of his fans
Autographs here and contracts there
And for the 次 program, he plans
But the spark in his eyes is empty and false
And his soul remains unsatisfied
He can't fill his desire または kindle true fire
Despite every wonder he’s tried.
(For what is he left with,
When everyone leaves and loneliness surrounds him?
What is he left with?)
He has chosen ファン over true friendship.
Fleeting thrills over everlasting joy.
Greedy ambition over genuine fire.
Stardom over servanthood.
Arrogance over humility.
Lust over love.
He refuses to admit it...but in his ハート, 心 of hearts, he knows.
There is an aching emptiness which he cannot fill.
For he would rather be the lord of the dance
Than to serve the Lord of the Dance.

Our World によって Contestant Number 4
あなた turn on the TV and what do あなた see?
Another bomb in Iraq, another hurricane in the Caribbean Sea.
Children are dying, houses are flooded.
People just stare, all of them cold-blooded.
Another 火災, 火 in California, another tsunami swept the coast of Bali.
Another attack in India, another dead child in Mali.
While あなた stare at the screen and eat your food,
Isn’t your feast a little bit rude?
Breaking news announce the civil war in Sudan.
Tell me, Presidents, Ministers, what is your plan?
“Free Tibet” banners are burned on the beach.
Tell me, what happened to the freedom of speech?
Radars will be put in Poland and the Czech Republic,
Dear officials, do あなた care to know the opinion of the public?
Cuban news try to hide distress
Whatever happened to the freedom of press?
The world is dying, poverty on every street,
Yet あなた walk around with Gucci on your feet.
People have no 食 または water,
Every 秒 a mother loses a daughter.
As the deadly clock ticks by
People around the world die.
How can あなた sleep knowing your aid
Could’ve saved another person from Death’s blade…?

Vanilla Wings によって Contestant Number 5
I stood and watched the feathers,
As they'd fall tender to my ears
Falling like an Angel
Who had nothing left to fear
Drowning in the silence of
The roaring of the tide
And none of them could surface
Their wings had all been tied
I had a word with God today
Of 天使 and their kin
Of feathers and weathered dreams
Of children and their sins
How frequently I listened to
The 天使 when they cried
As they'd fallen from their clouds
And had no wings to fly
I had a word with God today
But he didn't know my name
When I asked him why he said,
"Everybody looks the same"
I couldn't help but notice
Him standing in the sand
And when I reached out for him
He wouldnt take my hand
I went to see my God today
To have a word again
To have him soothe my fears away
But he wouldn't let me in
He was buried in the feathers
Of all the 天使 that were fell
So I told him I was leaving,
And that I wish him well
Then I took a wingless dive into
The brand new world below
To 登録する all the Angels
that had fallen long ago
But when I saw あなた standing
With my halo in your hand
My gaze had all been stolen
As I fast approached the land
Your beauty like an Angel
Who had never seen the sky
A beauty without compare
To these Angelic eyes
I watched あなた stand there waiting
With my wings laid at your feet
I could only pray to God above
That あなた were there for me
I fell into your arms that day
With nothing left to fear
I melted into your embrace
As あなた wiped at all my tears
あなた led me to a different heaven
One I couldn't find above.
あなた took me deep into your world,
then wrapped me in your love.
I had a word with God today
About all the things he's done
Of all that he's created
You're my お気に入り one.
He told me he was glad to
Finally see me smile
He told me was glad that
あなた made everything worthwhile.

Deliberately Delirious によって Contestant Number 7
Deliberate applause for each moment left for a pause, i purposefully do not applaud.
They raise their fists; clenched at each wrist, pointing at my deliberate ploy to topple their 雲, クラウド like a toy.
I hear the screams in the background, oh Gaza, with its deliberate beat thumping in my mind like all of our bad dreams; 画像 of hope wrestle with deliberately distorted beliefs encased in dope.
I open my eyes to see what i am shown, and then deliberately close them to my own wise thoughts, free from these thieves.
The 日付 is written, the time is clocked, history is made today at four o'clock, as i deliberately run, not walk, through those doors made of rock.
Discrimination is not a fabrication to be deliberately littered with empty fruitless words that only aspire to fruition.
And so i too clench my fists, stamp my feet, and dance to the tune of rebellion, happily whistling as their 雲, クラウド topples down in a 雲, クラウド of dust.

Best フレンズ turned Strangers によって Contestant Number 9
She was a girl with a lifetime of experiences
He was a boy who had been through a tough time too
They grew up together
Best フレンズ forever
That was the promise they made
A promise that would soon fade
As tragedy struck the younger of the two
The little boy’s mom got sick and went away
They ロスト touch with each other
She found the words too hard to say
Years later they met again
Mere glances across a crowded room
She was too afraid to speak
He was too shocked to move
They ストール, 盗んだ glances at each other all night
Both too afraid to speak
But never losing sight
Of the one they thought they would never again meet
When the night was over
And both had gone there separate ways
In the end both too afraid
To speak the truth
And end their silly charade
They thought of each other
Both with a tear in their eyes
Wondering if things could have been different
Had they both not decided to hide

My private intervention によって Contestant Number 10
The other girls are going to the mall,
I have no energy to.
I act differently,
but this drug has a weird affect.
When I look in the mirror,
I don't look back.
It's someone else,
not me.
I tell everyone I'll stop soon,
I know I won't.
It's a habit,
That's all,
but It's more,
and I'll suffer.
When finally I've realized what has happend to me,
it"ll be too late.
I always thought this addiction was temporary,
turns out I was wrong,
I should've never looked into your eyes,
but now your my drug, and I need help.

The Mask によって Contestant Number 11
Some hearts are strong, made of steel,
On the right path forever.
Some are weak and eas’ly turned,
Like the down または heather.
The problem is, what あなた see,
Isn’t always what’s inside.
Strong behind a mask of weak,

It is the weak masked,
As strong, that causes fear.

May not be in the mir’r.
So, 登録する me now my fairy friends,

And let us all remove our masks,
Of fear and uncertainty.
For where I’m taking you,
There are no masks.

In this realm, evil,
Ugliness binds, and
The pure of ハート, 心 from,
Inside to outside shine.
How do あなた know,
This is true?
Well, I’m afraid,
It’s up to you.
Choose to believe me, if あなた will.
If not, I will be here still.
Waiting for the next,
To extend their hand,
And 登録する me in this,
Magical land.

Barely Noticed によって Contestant Number 14
Life is an iPod
The different melodies, the ups and the downs
Changes in tempo
Every song and every experience differs a little from the next.
Start with the tinkling bells,
Meaningless lyrics;
Soothing sounds of early childhood.
Everything is simple;
Repetition
A song for young ears
One song flows into the next
Changing subtly, barely noticed.
The words begin to gather もっと見る depth;
The beat becomes a little faster,
A little louder
As time passes the 音楽 picks up strength,
The tempo increases
The melody weaves patterns
In and out of the rhythm
The cycle repeats.
Until finally the volume lowers
Ears re-adjust
The 音楽 becomes less irregular, settles into a pattern.
Life moves on
One song running its full length before another begins
No skipping around
The 音楽 becomes softer
Softer
It fades into the background
It slows
Almost to stop as work
As life
Carries on;
The lyrics tattooed inside the brain
Thinking is no longer required
The 音楽 slips to the back of the mind.
Forgotten,
For now
Retirement doesn’t block out the music,
It brings it forward.
Nothing else on the mind,
音楽 pushes its way back in;
Taking on a different shape
In songs heard a thousand times,
Suddenly there comes new meaning.
The 音楽 gets louder,
Complicated
Beautiful
音楽 pounds until the red light flashes,
The iPod’s battery wears down.
The volume gets softer;
Preserving energy
Until finally
The energy is gone
The 音楽 has run its course.

Apart によって Contestant Number 15
She said, “If I didn’t know your name,
“I’d call あなた home.”
When he touches her hand, it is not butterflies
that make her ashamed of her chipped nail polish,
and she has no inclination of heaven または angels…
Between the secret glances…
In the negative 宇宙 before they touch…
In the hidden limbo between Midnight and Morning…
It simply Is.
But then, Sunday screams quick as lightening
She's shattered in shambles (feed the fire)
His hunt is hindered, haplessly haunted (point of no return)
によって lullabies of a cartoon masquerade
“I 愛 you”
And as I do
I 愛 to lie to you
A man can learn that a woman is a dungeon
in which he’d be glad to drown.
And a woman can learn that a man is a hero
who will always let her down.
“Don’t be afraid, Daddy’s coming home,”
As soon as the alcohol rots my bones.
Her 草 can’t be greener if I scorch it black
And then, it won’t grow back again.
This is the lament of the ugly duckling
Who never became a swan
This is the revenge of the ugly duckling
Who always played the pawn
… But in the negatives of Polaroids, you’ll still remain the same…

Inevitable
my eyes glisten,
as hatred rests in my gaze.
I’m staring at shadows,
whispering your name,
while burning tears scar my face.
Even with only anger left, I doubt,
for I hate you,
because of what あなた are…
so much もっと見る than I.
But I stay silent,
watching you, and あなた alone, from far.
You’re chained to my heart,
but even so, these 苦い words on my tongue
make me deny.
And they make me wonder,
make me wonder
why.
Vengeance makes me strong,
keeps me alive
Yet this “love” breaks my soul, so I close my eyes.
But I’ll have to open them once again,
and the trail will linger,
even if the tears will dry.

it stands resolutely at the edge of our minds
constantly it stays, causing doubt and hatred

We must brighten the world
but what to do it with?
what do we, mere mortal men

Light must battle dark.
the greatest weapon we have,
is love
So fight the battle

Don't Plagiarized によって Contestant Number 20
If あなた want to create a poem
あなた must learn もっと見る words about English.
Don't make similar like famous Shakesphere,

Why? によって Contestant Number 21
Why didn't あなた come when I called you?
Why didn't あなた hold my hand every night?
Why didn't あなた キッス me in the moonlight?
Why did't あなた invite me over sometimes?
Why? Why didn't you? Why?
I used to 愛 あなた
becase あなた use to care about me!
Why didn't あなた care about me anymore?
Why? Just Why?

Tomorrow によって Contestant Number 22
Yesterday I was happy,
Today not so.
Yesterday Iwas in Heaven
Today the devil has me in a chokehold.
Yesterday I went to the doctor,
Today I got the results,
Today I found out it was terminal.
Yesterday I was happy.

Love によって Contestant Number 24
I'm tired of being your booty call;
the one あなた call when no one cares
I'm tired of feeling the way I feel,
so I'm going to take my self out of the game.
and watch from the sidelines
Cause whats the point in playing the game if your gonna loose....... like i do.
I'll always be here to cheer あなた on;
I'll even shed tear just because your gone.
Inside I'm hurting;
and I know あなた are too...
I'm sorry it had to end this way;
but maybe in another life we could play the same game,
and win everytime...
but for now all I'm going to say is bye,
I'll see あなた 次 time.

Carving Angels によって Contestant Number 25
Above me, with my head on the grass,
I thought I saw eyes peer down at me,
Golden によって nature and clear as glass.
Tragic as the battle of the Bismarck sea
Did we meet,
With her hand in mine and a smile open wide.
Inside me, where my ハート, 心 lay still,
I felt her image rest within me,
Warm with ease and dressed to kill.
Engraved in my mind were her words
She spoke quietly,
Promising to bring me to that unknown place.
Beneath me, where the ground sunk away,
The 草 had yet to touch her feet,
Agile and pale like a liquid diamond display.
Forgotten were the days I dreamed of seeing
Slowly fade to black,
As she blinded me with her sun
And buried me in her clouds.

My Angel によって Contestant Number 26
The beauty of an エンジェル sweet
Did fall from heaven above
And toward some beautiful pearly feet
Came gliding like a dove
But oh this girl on 上, ページのトップへ of which
The エンジェル did descend
Did indeed have quite the itch
Upon a river to wend
And so she went and bought a boat
To take her on her way
She stepped aboard and was afloat,
then glided from the bay.
A fellow traveler did she meet
A’stranded in a pond
And with her beauty oh so sweet,
She saved him with her wand
Upon her joyous face a smile
Of never ending cheer
Evoked from old and hidden files
Bright eyes devoid of fear
And so was every 日 aboard
The angel’s elusive ship
A bigger, grander, もっと見る magical reward
Than on any other trip
He prayed that He could ride with her
for many moments more,
and find a way to dine with her
and talk of 愛 and lore
Because upon one fateful night
She made this poor boy soar
And now I live just for the sight
Of あなた outside my door.

The Unfinished Story (Based on a true story) によって Contestant Number 27
He found himself lost, not taking credits for his acts,
he had denied the truth, the evidence, the facts.
Everyone had seen it and so did he,
but out of all the things, this wasn't where he wanted to be.
He didn't wanna talk, didn't want to confess,
but this only had made him もっと見る of a mess.
All those sleepless nights, tossing and turning,
It took him a while, before he was learning.
This was something he couldn't avoid, something he truly couldn't surpass,
he had never realized, he was falling so fast.
愛 is where he would plunge, deeper and deeper every day,
but realizing who he was loving, only put him to dismay.
Somehow this had changed him, もっと見る than あなた would think,
he was headed for a breakdown, right at the brink.
She was already in love, someone else had her heart,
except this wasn't the only thing that seemed to tear him apart.
They were best friends, and that's how they would remain,
that's how it would always be, and all the pain would he sustain.
What had made things もっと見る worse than needed, was something that made his surrender, that raised his white flag, that left him defeated.
She left her place where they had met, leaving him in solitary,
forcing him to 移動する on, give up, onward with his life would he carry.
He could not let this go, not her, not now,
so he spends his nights, thinking, what do I do, and how?
Then one night, light was shined on the circumstances,
it all came in a whisper, it showed him his chances.
He's making it now, his wounds are mending,
but there's something in my gut, something bad it is sending.
He's moving on, fairly well, but all within the process,
he's losing himself and every day, there is always a little less.
I'm hoping she'll come back soon, cause this story isn't done,
for the good guys still have not yet won.

I am what I am によって Contestant Number 28
I am a lonely girl, sitting on the side walk
Pushing あなた away when it’s time to talk
I am the teacher’s student, staring into space
Not sure that being here is worth the waist
I am the walls surrounding you, grace and all
Hoping I wouldn’t fall while あなた were gone
I am the sky above you, and in my haste
Forgot what I truly was, turn dark again
Forget that I am a true color, honest blue
または at least what those below me said
I am the words あなた say, dark and true
Knowing eventually I’ll get it too
I am a path in the night, dead ahead
Trying hard to forget the hurtful words あなた said
I am the fading letters on your keyboard
Knowing, eventually, I’ll get back up again
I am the days of your life, both long and short
For reasons only あなた and I know
I am the silence heard between your words
So sure that the tables will never turn
I am the lump inside your throat
あなた feel when あなた want to say ‘no’
To all the sins あなた were a victim of
And know あなた are so dumb to think
That when the thought of it disappeared
So would the memory
I am the word hanging in the air
That ‘Goodbye’ we’re both so reluctant to share
We cannot leave until it’s said
I am this fear, so hurt and raw
Knowing this blow would make あなた fall
Hoping against hope that it wouldn’t
And, under your intense scrutiny
I am all I could possibly ever be.

My Grandmother. によって Contestant Number 30
The greatest realisation hit,
when her lover had departed.
The truth could now be hid no more,
Confusion, anger and fear.
Confusion lead to pain and weakness,
Anger spurted tears,
The fear of which we all did live with,
slowly, resolutley,
sent daggers to our hearts.
The choice was left for us to make,
the biggest... it hurt.
Although at first, unendurable,
Time made us ロスト for words.
No need to be confused it seemed,
The pain had settled down,
But best of all, the anger,
reduced, deducted, gone?
And again, all seemed well.
Ourselves forgot, mistake involved,
that age cannot be thwarted.
A simple, true and honest fact,
That makes a mark on all.
No warning, preperation,
We were prehaps asleep.
But newly resurected came,
Consusion, anger, fear.
I went one 日 to visit,
She was no longer there.
I call it luck,
She was alive,
A struggle to survive.
Months were spent,
In the confides of a hospital bed,
A weakness overheld us,
Waiting.. the time we waited.
Was it luck again?
That enabled her to leave.
または deservation, determination?
We were pesamistic,
We thought her gone,
Forever, we regarded,
That those three words would haunt us.
Confusion, anger, fear.
Impossible, irrecovable.
We never though she'd walk again.
We didn't think she'd eat.
How did the strength find it's way?
where, did it live?
I think I know an answer,
She had it all along.
The strongest woman I will know,
A remarkable thing,
I could never have immagined.
We were blessed,
why? I do not know.
I know it's not forever,
And so I always keep in mind,
whilst enjoying her strength and her kind.
That age cannot be thwarted,
And we all in turn will die.

Confessions of a Rock によって Contestant Number 31
I sit here, unmoving, in this lovely dull park.
The passersby react to me as they might the
homeless: they may glance at me when they think I am not
looking...
but I am forever looking.
It is not impolite for me to stare.
I see imperfections, acts that they wish to hide:
The garbage tossed casually into the water,
the exchange of money and white powder
between strangers,
and one night, even the loss of innocence...
and life.
Her screams will haunt me forever.
But of all the ugliness that takes place here,
beauty surrounds it and, while the seasons change,
I remain the same.
And at the end of the 日 I am content to be
just a statue
on a pedestal
in a park.

My True Family によって Contestant Number 32
I 愛 my フレンズ like they are my family.
The guys annoying like bros,
But they dis whatever guy hurt my feelings.
The girls are truly supportive,
Like the the sisters I wish I had.
They are my true family all in all.
We get in trouble together,
Talk about things with each other
That we wouldn't say to anyone else.
We are together whenever we are able,
Supporting each other when needed.
They are my true family all in all.
We try our best not to hurt each other.
We 愛 each other just the way we are.
We usually enjoy each other's company.
We make each other laugh, smile and happy.
We try to cheer each other up when one is sad.
They are my true family all in all.
This is my true family:
Andrew, Lily, Heather, Aaron, Lexus,
Joey, Nicole, Alannah, Tony, Ihab, Keifer,
Greg, Rhea and last but certainly not least
Austin.
These are my フレンズ and my true family.

The Woods によって Contestant Number 33
Twilight approaching
Walking, falling, indefinitely toward an unreachable perfection
Light coming and going, there is no hope
Pushed in the Dark Woods, stumbling, grabbing straws
Heartedly falling, no where to go, no one to see, laying there
Hopeless, timeless, immutable, staying down.
Suddenly, leering, Silver Smiles, glowing, creating their own light, I fall
"Follow," hopeless, timeless I rise to a new horizon, a new dimension, a better reality
In standing here, I sink deeper into Reality there, I follow.
I follow my teachers, darker and darker into the woods, deeper and deeper I trust.
The trees climb the sky, killing the moon, higher, higher until my guides are invisible
Unable to see the light from those smiles, I trip, stumble and grabbing pine needles, I fall
Hopeless, timeless I lay in my new grave; No self, no point, nothing felt
Swaying like a reed によって a river's bank, an angelic like beauty boasting three heads
Emitting yet a brighter light than my 前 guides
"Lead me," says my new found hope, "Lead me"
Walking we descend deeper into this forest
My left foot passing my right foot, quicker, still quicker, my beauty and I run
Chasing nothing, no one chasing.
Deeper, colder, blacker the darkness of this forest drowns my follower
She my light and now no more; no hope, hopeless
I sit, thinking nothing, not thinking.
Around me the owl, the wolf, the mountain lion, hunting in these darkened, ancient woods
Searching for survival they are, I cannot resist the instinct to stay, hopelessly.
Thicker, ubiquitous now, the dark has swallowed me
Hopeless, timeless, immutable; I sit
No self, no point, nothing felt; sitting
Chasing nothing, no one chasing; staying
Thinking nothing, not thinking; sinking
Then, driven によって Gravity I am pushed down through the forest floor, through a canal
Light peering: changing, ticking, singing; Light
Burning my eyes, a familiar, distant Reality, the woods buried therein.
Dawn has broke

Oh Herald! によって Contestant Number 34
Oh Herald! speak so that I may speak again
For in silence my ハート, 心 yearns for him.
The emptiness blinds my vision with tears,
And I fear my weakness he still hears.
Oh Messenger of my soul please make haste.
I have no もっと見る sorrow for hatred to waste.
His words are the motive for his murderous deeds,
And with his witty retorts, my 愛 painfully bleeds.
Oh, divine Savior please give me relief.
Please severe my incredibly hopeless belief.
または if thoust cannot end the feelings inside,
Take out my heart, and my soul may あなた hide.
For to 愛 a mortal the way mortals do
Is surely the worst torture that Heaven can do.
Oh, come now and offer me a remedy!
To ease my worries and set my 愛 free.
In silence his voice resounds through space,
And in stillness I can see only his face.
So Lord of Justice, take these feelings away,
And no longer in 愛 with shall I stay.

Freckles and Teardrops によって Contestant Number 35
see your tearstains on your face
Your mind...it seems out of place
Heard your plan to hurt yourself
So I picked up this paper from the bookshelf
I started to write
I wrote in despite
of the darkness lurking inside me
Suicide isn't a solution
Don't consider it an option
I'm your friend, you'll find
that あなた don't have to feel confined
It doesn't have to end this way
Please don't go away...
I've been there
just know...that I care...

My ode to pie. によって Contestant Number 36
Pie, so sweet and savoury on my tongue,
あなた can make good of any 日 gone wrong.
Whether it's チェリー または peach,
あなた could even make Blagoyevich feel unimpeached.
Once my fork cuts into your crispy skin,
I know my happiness is about to begin.

I am the Driver によって Contestant Number 37
‘Does that make it zero-risk? No. Is life without risk interesting? No.’ Wing Commander Andrew Green
A thousand miles per hour- land speed record.
The wind rushes through my hair as I find I can’t afford
to stop this whirlwind of a life. They’ll be
fast cars and superstars. The fee
of admission あなた ask. A supersonic engine.
Bloodhound によって name, bloodhound によって nature. I follow
the scent of a human frame. I’m on an Apollo
mission. But then I take off only to find
that, untrue to myself, I have become blind
to reality. And I 愛 it?
Right now I’m in first place- here I plan to stay.
No competition. Bluebird, Thunderbold, Railton, out of my
way.
But make no mistake, once I reach terminal velocity
I know, I will start to slow. So I’m gonna
polish my own titanium. For now.

Sisters Forever によって Contestant Number 38
I could never live without my sister
That I can’t deny
あなた bring joy to my life when you’re によって my side
When you’re gone it feels like my world has been destroyed
Together we fill our lives with laugher
Our memories will last forever and ever
No matter if we argue
または get in stupid fights
We 愛 each other from the heart
Best フレンズ for life
Just always remember
I’ll 愛 あなた forever
Because we’re
Sisters forever
Poet's Note: This poem is dedicated to my sis Laura.

Untitled によって Contestant Number 39
One 日
Centuries from now
They will find our bodies
Long since dead,
Long since forgotten
Buried together
Under the same blue sky,
Under the same green 草
And when they find our bodies
They won't know what colour our skin was
our BONES（ボーンズ）-骨は語る- are grey
They won't know if we were beautiful
our faces will rot
They won't know if we were thin または fat
our flesh will not remain
They won't know in which gods we found our faith
they will not know our minds
And when they find our bodies
Our petty wars and hollow causes
will exist only as the tales of a distant time,
Our fleeting words of hope and fear
will be ロスト to the earth and the rising sea,
And all the things that forced us
to draw lines,
to fight eachother,
to stand apart,
Shall fade to dust
And the centuries past
will unite us.

09 Bonnie and Clyde によって Contestant Number 40
I sit here and think
About Bonnie and Clyde
And i cant help myself
I want that life
The running and robbing
And 愛 they one had
The rush of the 時
The feeling of bad
The crossing the lines
From state to state
Sometimes theyd try
But it was to late
They had chosen that life
Til the 日 that they died
And i cant help but want
That very same life
It must have been funn
At least for a while
The things that theyd done
Were not very wise
But they had there gunns
And 愛 with blind eyes
I hope that one 日
I will find my right guy
Robbing banks または Shopping Sprees
One 日 hell be all mine
The 愛 that they had
Was unique indeed
It was the kind
The one that i need
So i say once もっと見る
That one 日 i will
Have adventure, romance, and why
Because one 日 well be
The 次 Bonnie and Clyde

If I Were... によって Contestant Number 41
If I were a paintbrush of splendour,
I would create a painting so brilliant
With splashes of hate brightened によって love,
With dashes of joy darkened によって misery,
And with an endless turmoil of every feeling, every thought,
And memories forgotten.
If I were an ominous 雲, クラウド of approaching danger,
I would splay a net of warning
To the ones who cringe from hurt
And test the resilience of the fine thread
That balances the life of those who resist.
If I were the precise, focused eyes of a predator,
I would pick out the absonant lopes of an antelope
That strings a twine of discordance
Through the rhythmic flow
Of the galloping of an agitated herd.
If I were the breath of the Winter Queen,
I would arouse a storm so bitter
That the very being of life is chilled to the core,
Until all within my reach
Has felt winter’s wrath.
If I were hate,
I would rip the brittle structure of the world
Into wretched shards of envy, lose, hate,
And 愛 for the pain of others.
If I were the chimes of crystal bells,
I would empty my cup of music
Onto the clouds that hover just above,
So that the music, so sweet to the ears,
Can rain down in a phantom storm.

An Abridged Version Of
The One With The Poem によって Contestant Number 42
So フレンズ begun and it began with a bang
Chandler made jokes and Phoebe sang,
Ross was glum whilst Rachel was free
Well if あなた escaped Barry, wouldn't あなた be?
Monica had relationships but they ended badly
Joey had auditions but never got parts, sadly.
Phoebe found a thumb but never knew her Dad,
She hardly saw her sister but for that she was glad
Ross and Rachel got it on and Chandler was still funny,
But then Eddie moved in and he wasn't a happy bunny
Monica found Richard and Joey got a new job too
But he missed Chandler, well wouldn't you?!
Whilst Phoebe found her brother Rachel found the list,
Ross was devastated, but of course there was a twist
Richard didn't want kids, and a prom video was to be found,
Ross was Rachel's lobster, it was smiles and kisses all round
When Monica ロスト Richard, Janice came onto the scene
But Chandler found her annoying, her laugh was just obscene!
The フレンズ played Football and Rachel was made to 'go long'
Phoebe sang Smelly Cat and so it was her signature song
Monica worked as a chef as Ross and Rachel took a break,
He tried to keep his drunken night a secret, of course for Rachel's sake
But it proved the wrong thing to do as Rachel found out anyway,
He tried his best but to no avail, Ross didn't know what to say
Chandler finally dumped Janice, no もっと見る 'bing-a-ling',
Whilst he, Monica and Joey were freaked によって a jellyfish sting
Rachel moved on as Ross found Emily and got set to wed,
But at the alter it was not Emily's name but Rachel's that he said
When they got together, Monica and Chandler surprised us all,
The gang went out to Vegas whilst Joey made a call
He didn't want them to know he hadn't got the part,
The フレンズ found out anyway, and helped him make a fresh start
Chandler tricked Monica, and a proposal was what he did,
She happily accepted, their 次 step was a kid!
Phoebe made クッキー but the recipe was not her own,
Monica found out they were Nestle's and boy, did she moan.
Then came the time for Mon and Chan's special day,
Chandler got cold feet but he got there anyway
Rachel had a secret that was to be revealed there and then,
She was pregnant, and needed to tell Ross but didn't know when
Ross was shocked but was happy he had a sister for Ben,
Joey too had a secret, he loved Rachel (like most men!)
Rachel was flattered but wanted to remain friends,
She then had a baby as her and Ross made amends
As the holiday ended Ross found out about the kiss,
He pretended he was fine but it was something he couldn't dismiss
Joey and Rachel stayed フレンズ and Phoebe married fast
Whilst Monica and Chandler found a baby they could adopt at last
Rachel was offered a job but it was too far away
How could she leave Ross, could he not persuade her to stay?
She left for the plane but he raced to bring her back
She couldn't do it and boarded the plane, she thought she was back on track
Monica and Chandler had brought the twins home,
While a sad Ross just wanted to be alone
A voice message told him Rachel wanted to get off the plane,
And as the door swung open it was Rachel that came
So there it was as Monica and Chandler got set to leave,
They had all spent ten years together, it was hard to believe
Tears and sadness followed as they put their keys on the side,
As they left the apartment, knowing they'd made an impact worldwide.

The cigarette drags
Inhaling the toxins
Fills me with doubts
Around me the rain drips
And drops
So morose, so morose
Even if it kills me
The time of my life
4444, Desperata Ave.
it can put the ハート, 心 at ease または under strain
and as that word to each other we spoke
it made our hearts complete and not broke
a feeling unlike any other i felt
as あなた heavenly eyes made my ハート, 心 melt
あなた were always the one, i could tell
cause from the moment i saw あなた in 愛 i fell
the words to describe あなた a poet can never posses
あなた were always the one that was hard to impress
あなた wanted もっと見る than 詩 and お花 could give
because only on true 愛 your ハート, 心 could live
to capture my ハート, 心 for あなた it only took
one moment one smile and one unforgettable look

A family who lives on a boat
Doesn’t want land but water to float.
Sometimes afraid to sink down
Of many holes they have around.
All what’s left is hope and faith.
A girl on the ボート is very sick,
But the thoughtless father’s brain never gave a kick.
Never thought about what would happen,
That’s why they’re ロスト with a big reason.
All what’s left is 35 feet of rope and faith.
Believing in your heart,
There is a big feeling where to start
Never give it up nor never have enough.
あなた know what あなた want,
あなた know some things that あなた can’t have.
All what’s left is hope and faith.
Doesn’t want land but water to float.
Sometimes afraid to sink down
