Guns and knives

March 7th 2008 by nuk in emo poems

It’s fun to play with guns and knives,
Where I no longer have to hide.
I show myself, the mess I am,
Where I let loose all I can.
Where I can say all I want,
Without the taunts,
The names they call me,
Which yes I may be.
They hurt me inside,
And now I cannot hide,
I live in fright,
And in endless spite,
They’re all so scared,
And so they have to compare,
Me with the bad,
So I feel sad.
I try to hold my head up high,
But I still feel I need to die,
I want to cry,
But I can only sigh,
I can see the world,
And the man who sold,
My whole body goes cold,
As I’m strictly told,
I need to be brave; I need to be bold,
Or I’ll still be like this when I’m old.
So now I fold this piece of paper,
Feeling like a crisp thin wafer,
Easily broken,
No credit or token,
And I still haven’t woken,
From the dream,
Where I was part of the team.
And not be left behind,
For them to be nasty or unkind,
To be part of the reality,
To be considered inside sanity,
I just want to have a friend,
Where I can help and help to mend.

It’s fun to play with guns and knives,
And be there just to risk my life,
To put just myself in danger,
With a lethal unfamiliar stranger.
I couldn’t care less,
With the way I dress,
Or the way I look,
But I do with my life that you took.
You say my head is wrong,
And that my heart is badly torn,
You don’t know how wrong you are,
I just want to go so far.
Just so far away from them,
And always be able to defend,
Myself so that I don’t get beated,
So badly and so differently treated.

It’s fun to play with guns and knives,
But the gun that took my friend’s life,
Hangs high upon my wall,
Just to show how she did fall.
She took the bullets out of that gun,
Leaving a note for me and her mum,
It explained how her life had been,
Throughout, but she was just a teen,
With all the people being mean,
But her heart was set and she was so keen,
To leave this world that she had seen.
Disrupted, chaos, dark and gloom,
She took that gun and made it her doom.

No one ever saw it coming,
Because she kept on trying and kept on humming,
She left on a date,
The one that opposed her fate,
On her thirteenth birthday,
The twelfth of May,
All I have left is that gun,
And now I’m thinking how much fun,
It could be
If I were to accidentally have a catastrophe.
To take my life,
With gun or knife.
I do not care which,
I just want to leave the ditch,
That they dropped me in so long ago,
Wishing they hadn’t even thought of me though.
I got myself into this much trouble,
And my head is in such a muddle.
I want to be back, alone in my room
But also locked up with all the other loons.

It’s fun to play with guns and knives,
Where I was and am always forced to strive,
Someone once found in this position,
But I made sure it was only my decision.
With the gun to my head,
Enough had been said,
My shaking finger on the trigger,
The lump in my throat swelling bigger.
He saw the fears in my eyes,
To him this was no surprise,
I had removed my disguise,
Found time to bury the lies,
That had been wrongly placed on my shoulders
And the bullet hit me; I felt my body go colder.
I shot my chest,
And I wasn’t bothered about the mess,
I wanted to feel my best,
Remove myself; I’m the little arrogant pest.
As he held me,
I could hardly see.
Not even past my own nose,
But I saw the red rose,
He had bought for me,
I laid there in his lap,
About to start my eternal nap.
I felt his tears drop to my face,
I had let down the human race,
So I sweetly said,
As he held my head,
‘Please please don’t forget me…
Always remember the way I had to be…’

  16. emo girl

    Your poem rocks! I really wanted to cry.You poem has so much meaning to it. While I was reading it ,I start realizing the pain,the sorrow,you must have went through writting this beautiful poem.

  17. ME...u got a problem with dat?

    wow…wtf…i hate poems…but urs..urs is different…i like it….i love it…keep up the great work…

  18. Rachel

    …It holds alot of meaning what you have written. Its is hard to place all your thoughts into such a little space, trust me, I have tried XP. You wrote in a way, exacty what I wrote…
    Im not telling you to even bother talking to me, cause I know you wont. I have no clue who you are. I just want to say. This poem has a lot of meaning to me. I understood every single word you wrote. I dont know if people saw everything inbetween but in the end, I did and I loved it.

  19. emo lil bitch

    i think i should
    i hate life
    i want to die

  20. Fritz

    wow that was soooo deep and beautiful. Before i read this i had a knife and was going to leave this place behind but your beautiful words stopped me.

  21. Emo_omE

    Wow…..amazing…..seriously. I have one but it’s not very long, doesn’t rhyme, and is nowhere near as good as yours.

    If only…
    If I only had a heart,
    I’d give it all to you.
    If I could only love again,
    It would all be just for you.
    If I were only happy,
    I’d owe it all to you.
    But I don’t,
    I can’t,
    And I’m not,
    All because of her

  22. stacey

    aww so touching

  23. Katy

    i love this poem my mom doesn’t understand me &i’m going to use it to make my life clear to her!!!!!!!!!!thx u it was awesome!!!!thx thx thx thx thx thx thx thx !!!!!!!!!

  24. J4k3~~*

    Stars are at my window
    They look at me with mocking eyes
    I wish I could join them
    Up there in the skies.
    And dress them with shitrs and ties
    And bake them two apple pies.
    But in the end everyone dies.
    But in the end everyone cries.

    The moon looks down on me.
    And hands me some LSD.
    Now I am free.
    So I won’t have to attend P.E.
    Where the twins in 10G
    Taunt me
    Becoz of my canceruss knee.
    Why can’t they let me be!

    I am in the skies.
    Will I dise?
    Or did I actually cut those pies?
    Bringing with me the shits and ties.
    For all the lies.
    They told me in disguys.

    … cryies.

  25. Trishkins

    love it muchly

  26. soly

    this poem is very good i love it i love this part that say:
    It’s fun to play with guns and knives,
    Where I was and am always forced to strive,
    Someone once found in this position,
    But I made sure it was only my decision.
    this poem i think is very good i want to cry

  27. salem krisley

    yes…that is very deep one of the poems i’ve been looking for to tell the story of my life…

    This goes out to all my friends,

    and those I’ve never met.

    Take the time and think it over,

    before you do something you regret.

    I know that life gets tough sometimes,

    and it really gets you down.

    But if you take a minute or two

    and have a look around.

    The world is full of sorrow,

    the world is full of pain.

    If you take your life today,

    you have nothing left to gain.

    So let these feelings go somehow

    and focus on your life.

    Go and find some happiness,

    and stay away from that knife.

    People can be mean sometimes,

    and I know love can hurt.

    But you won’t find happiness,

    buried in the dirt.

    So, hold on to your dreams,

    and love the ones that care.

    Take ahold of your destiny,

    find happiness, if you dare

    (i just thought we need somethingto look at from the rightside)

  39. Mandy

    I love this poem.. it is actually kinda depressing hey i know it may be because it’s an emo poem. but i love it.. it is really cool. and EMO.. i love emo.. haha lol

  40. Lauren

    OMG
    this poem is emotional but so true
    it must of taken you ages to write this,
    you must have loadz of talent and feeling to write sumthin as deep as this,
    i luved readin it x

  41. hello

    ok, I’m impressed. You have talent, and I sense some type of experience as well.

    anyways, to give you an honest criticism, I’d say that although you keep interest throughout, I would recommend trimming it not for size but for quality. I actually find this quite lovely to read through, which is nice, as some some long poems can be a labour to read. I think what I find in your poem is eloquent and unique lines are placed next a few lines that are not as well phrased. whatever, you’re still very good.

    P.S. the title line would make a total rad song lyric. Have you ever tried making this into a song? It would totally work in my imagination

  42. LOZZA

    Ur poem is amazing!!!!!!!
    I read it, i cried and i took the liberty of printing it out and showing it to everybody!

  50. EMO-KITTEN

    all they do is run me away
    so in the dark, i always stay
    i hate that they have me
    locked in this pain
    i hate that they loath me
    and cause me my shame
    but they make me realize
    that i am not the only one
    that there is a family
    of daughters and sons
    that are emo and hated
    and have a way to live
    these emos stay jaded
    with but blood to give
    so why do they hurt us
    why should we care
    why do we try
    why even dare
    to have a heart
    towards those who dispize
    the hair we wear
    our darkened eyes
    so i will ask again
    why should i care
    what we do
    what we dare
    just go to your world
    of color and flowers
    leave us our rags
    bloody hearts and emo hours
    we will go on to our papers
    and write a peom
    of heartless capers

    know this icelandic girl named Disa that writes both poems and storys and here is one of her poems

    Thy head will be my home
    Thy eyes will be my secret
    Thy lips will be my own

    I will die for thy honor
    I will break for thy voice
    I will kill with thy heart
    I will kill for thy kiss.

    For I will do all I can do
    I will tell all I can tell
    With thy kiss, upon my lips.
    I die.”
