*this poem is untitled*

I'm tire of pretending that nothing is wrong
I'm sick of pretending that I have to be strong
All of them acting like anger's a crime
But everyone has to break sometime
Seems like all this time I've miscalculated
Everything once loved, now is hated
I'm feeling the pain like never before
I'm searching and looking for the cure
Words so powerful I break down and cry
Not wanting to see my life bathed in lies
Feeling so empty and drained of life
Stabbed in the back and the heart with a knife
Feeling the hurt and frustration rising
Turning into what isn't surprising
The pain of it all welling up to be too much
It seems I've finally lost all sense of touch
I'm tired of waiting in the darkness of deceit
My hopes catch like tinder and incinerate in the heat
Continuously searching for what can't be found
All of these ties keep my feet on the ground
Never procuring what I have to find
Feeling imprisoned behind bars in my mind

"GuitARMED and Dangerous"

He'll send you back to school to learn the trade
When it comes to passing, A+ is his grade
With his hat to the side, cool is his visage
He pieces together the LP collage
If his hat's absent, then check for a hood
It's Big Bad Brad making music that's good
Trying to shrink his size just makes you the hater
Trying to steal his power just makes him even greater
He's the B to the R to the A to the D
There is no guitarist as talented as he  
He's got ammunition for every guitar
Your thesis will stay near; his theory will go far
Silver, black, or blue, it's not even about the look
Everyone out there is a worm and he's the hook
You're dropping from charts, now this is a sign
Your aura is fading; you're losing your shine
He's got hot songs while your tracks suck
Brad's got the horseshoe; you're out of luck

The Tables Have Turned

He walks into your town like the newest outlaw
You can't erase him because he's quick on the draw
He'll huff, and he'll puff, and he'll blow you away
Come and get a dose of this skilled vitamin J
You know you can't make tunes like these
Making fans in the states and fans overseas
Coming from all over north, south, east, and west
When it comes to scratching, this man is the best
I know you're shaky when you step up to the plate
You know your crooked ways are about to be set straight
When face-to-face you feel his wrath and it's chilly
He doesn't even need a gold record to smack you silly
He can work turntables with both eyes tightly shut
His edge is razor sharp; all haters receive a cut
Pushing every limit is how he's keeping busy
The world is his new record to spin until it's dizzy
Adding his talents to rock and roll
At this position Mr. Hahn's in control

Percussionist

Teeth bared, not in anger but in effort.
Beating out frustrations and apprehensions
To the rhythm of percision.
Every strike against the resonating surface of the drum
Is another demon released.
Pushing further into the desolate plain of perfection.
It's life or death.
Now or never.
Do it right or don't even bother.
Muscle threaded arms, swift and talented, keep the beat.
And to think, you're the quiet one.

Hybrid Theory

As you rattle off another reason why,
I see that you are one step closer to pushing me away.
All these demons fighting to break through while I'm crawling
On my hands and knees.
I try to runaway,
To find a place for my head,but in the end I'm trapped here with you.
In your arms, I'm forgotten.
I've let all my wounds turn to scars, even the stinging papercut
You sliced my heart with.
Calculating your points of authority, I have realized we don't add up.
You refuse to let me go, free to be by myself.
Im the one to abuse.
But soon you'll find another cure for the itch.
The irritation in you that breeds the want to hurt.

Everyday you seem to fade away.
Everyday you'd hurt me in another way.
You'd always push me out of the way.
All of us know it hurts, but its ok, we've felt worse pain.
It's the end and you can't hurt me in any way, you're weak and I have no feelings.
I just don't think I want to live anymore like I thought I did before.

Thank you for coming to me, to set me free.
If you weren't here, there'd be noone to protect me.
I've lived this life long enough, how I thank you for
giving me a new one. The one I lived before was filled
with pain, hate, and confusion. You've brought me to
my senses. Please take care of me and never hurt me.
I wish I could make you happy and for the sorrow to end.

I will take all your hate-filled thoughts and words and
place them in myself. Then I'll lightly make them out so
they aren't near anyone, not even me, and if that doesn't
make you happy my friend, there is nothing I can do at
all. The way to find hapinnes is to fall.

I help you in everything I can and what do i get in return,
NOTHING. You never return my favors the way i want you to I
give you EVERYTHING. Im just a person, just a toy, just a THING.
I am not your friend, I am not your servant, and you give me
as little as possible for me to SURVIVE. You go to the extremes,
just for me to have enough to get BY. You do all of this and
expect me not to DIE. You always want the worst for ME. You
always say you're my friend, but you know at heart you're my
own worst ENEMY. You think I don't know any of this, but I know
all of this, so I can BE. You think you have me under CONTROL.
But any moment im ready to EXPLODE. You keep trying to beat me,
but I tell you I'm not here to FIGHT. And you still keep attacking
me, like I don't have a RIGHT. When you LEAVE, believe me,
I won't GRIEVE. I hope the best for YOU. I want you to live to be
who you want TO. But please in the process leave me out of THIS.
Please leave me alone and let me have my BLISS. I don't want to
be used by you ANYMORE. I'm not putting up a SHOW. Leave, and
GO!!!!!!!

I feel this eerie feeling passing through me.
To love, be loved and to feel again.
This hate I've had for so long is still not gone.
And somehow it's turned to love again.
But somehow these ramning parts of confusion remain.
I still can't feel enough pain.
This world is suddenly collapsing and my love
and hate are overlapsing.

Remedy

(Poem inspired by Chester)

The darkness falls,the gates have been closed
No escape and I´m caving in again
I lay down, silently waiting for what´s to come
Suddenly the darkness wears thinner as I head
A voice, calling me
I try to ignore it but something in it is just
So persistent, nothing letting me close my eyes and
Flow away
So I get up,stumbling towards it
My walls are inching closer and closer
Panic trickling down my face
But he´s not letting fall down, telling me not to
Give up this fight
I follow in the footsteps of his pain
Shedding my crystal tears to make this path
Shine for me,so I´ll know the way back
To my home
His voice like velvet against my ear
Soft, soothing
Like a hand breaking through the surface
Pulling me safe, nothing can harm me
Just the calmness before the storm
His voice grows into an aggressive
Scream
Waking me with cold shivers
Leaking the pain he carries with him
Everyday, slackening it´s grip
Letting him forget
He feels relazed, letting it take control
This is where he belongs
A healer with words
Bringing remedy to our broken souls

by Akasha

The Face

A pen is found that can write a new identity,
stronger than Soul Calibur you hold much enmity,
i got a 2nd truth and no one knows about it,
its got my same name,the name which means crown it,
I drown it,
in deep thoughts like pain and anger,
dont know which is which but one is a stranger,
when i bleed and get hurt pain is what i feel,
it takes the shape of evil from clowns to slimy eels,
it doesnt stop there it lives in my mind,
everytime i think my braincells it roughly grinds,
the face leaves me without time,
and without a clock my two lives just rewind.

"HERE, IM HERE"

(This poem is about how i feel every night when
im alone and looking to LP is like killing my soul
out of life. Thousands of thanx to Maria)

Hey Linkin Park!
Can you hear me here???
You know, it hurts everytime I see your pictures
Yes, they're killing me
Do you know that I cry every night?
Because Im trying to make jokes, Im trying to tell stories
I'm trying everything, EVERYTHING!
But nobody's listening, even you!
And it hurts, and it's killing, and it's painful
You're there, you're everywhere in my room
But you are so blank, it hurts me!
But you know, I will always love you
Im stupid, Im insane, Im crazy
To love people that hurt me
But somehow, Im addicted to you, it's like ecstacy
I hate myself for this, I hate myself for everything
No, you dont have to feel guilty,
I chose this path and I will accept the consequences
Anyway Linkin Park, thank you for the things you did
Thank you for the happiness everytime I listen to your songs
Thank you for the miseries that caused everytime you're not listening
Thank you for the indescribeable pain when everytime I see your picture
No, I wont regret....

Do you know what Im talking about?
Im no shakespeare to do a poem about them
But I know that somehow they can hear me
Yes, they hear me everytime i cry

(The poem is based on our changes and the world
today the drugs and the anger has tortured this soul...)

rEaNimaTD
his tortured soul ....

  always watching us
always there
here will soon come to realize that he exsisted
he beated out the ashes
crumbled within his soul
which will never return
4 he is always there
watching our every move
waiting 4 that day  to strike
4  the mistakes we made
the changes we did
angered him
he grew weaker by the minute
looking from the firy pits
of his tortured soul
at the world we've become

  lonelness taken in him
as he lays in the darkness
waiting to bloom
hoping that the wounds will go away
and the scars will vanish
and he will break away from
the chains attatched to him
dripping from every sweat and tear
he is the reanimation within us
our changes go through him like
a ray burning his heart and soul
bleeding from each palm
but when he flew away
im misery and pain
from this dark world
no one even realized
that these changes
theses memorys
the reanimatD soul...
was gone...

In My Head

I keep this all in my head
is this all even real
as i sit here in my bed
why do i feel the way i feel
people always ask if im ok
doesn't anything ever last
i wish they would just go away
it all happened so fast
my friends don't seem to care
i need someone to listen to me complain
someone to be there
as i pore out all my pain
hearing both of them scream
why must they act this way
cant this all just be a dream
i wish they would just go away.

No More

I've never felt so ahamed
i cant take anymore
because it was me i blamed
I put myself through all this stress
but i finally realized
it was you that caused the mess
so i walk away
never again
i've got nothing more to say

Just Another Concert

(Inspired by Chester Bennington...)

He grips his mic
He stares out to the crowd
It is packed no doubt
He rears his head back
Standing slightly in awe
He screams as though angels were singing
With every note his pain is felt
With every scream his anger is out
The crowd is put under his spell
He stands with is fist in the air
Saluting the crowd and valiantly stepping off
He has done it again...
As if his arms were extended he has taken in the crowd
No another sound is heard
Yet he still frowns

by Jenna

Linkin Park

the music they sing
 i feel their voice.
 The voice flowing through my beating heart

    now i start to hear
 the songs they write
 it makes me want to break
 away from my world
and now im in theirs

  i dont feel alone,
no, not anymore
i watch them sing,
singing their heart out

   i feel comfort in me
i hear their music again
 but not in a cd of mine
cuz now im with them
in a concert for the first time

Numb

(Inspired by the great Meteora album)

lying my way from you
you ---try to tell me what to do
you ----teach me how to give up-you
you stole my eveerything
my life, my hope, my dream.
I try to be what you wanted me to be
I try to make you proud of me
but you didn't care
you wanted me to fail
but I can't stand it anymore
walk out of the door
and never look back
that's what I have to do
I have to run away from you
You tried to hurt me and now you have succeed in it
you did everything to see me bleeding
you took me not as human being
you said you love me but you were cheating
you were saying lies into my face
now i'm putting you out of the race

CONFUSION

i don't know who i'm
and i don't want to start again
looking for myself out there
i alteady dare
do this       
after so many hours of lonliness
but i'm now here safe in my room
unless i try to start again
but i don't think i'll do this
....
i don't want to be the one
the battle always choose
i don't want to be the one
because i'm so confused
i don't know what's worth fighting for
lose some weight or even more
i said so many things i didn't mean
i even don't know why i scream
nothing is alright-
 tonight!

Smile On My Face

(This poem is about Mike Shinoda)

When I always look at you things become so clear
All the bad dreams shatter with the continuous fear,
When I feel unhappy or weak I've just got to cry
When I see your happy face I wipe the tears goodbye.

Your music shows the value of life it is very strong
You write with your heart such an amazing song,
Papercut is the best its full of energy and power
Your face lights up the world just like a flower.

The rest of the band are so supportive with you
You'll do the same for them I know you will too,
You play the guitar with Brad so well
The records you make really do sell!

Chester sings so well and you write the songs together
You have heavy songs but some as light as a feather,
Joe samples the songs to make them sound loveable
Rob has the beats to make it sound suitable.

Phoenix plays the bass just like a dream
You complete the band and make it into a team,
The way you rap just makes me want to hear more
I turn it up really loud until my ears are sore!

by Kara Rochester

Blood falls off the ceiling
I can't get rid of this feeling
Spiders eat my flesh
my bones are showing through
I can't seem to get away from you
I run down the path
my heart is beating too fast
my blood is frozen cold
my breathing gets heavier with every step that I take
I can't take this anymore
I feel so insecure
I put a dagger against my pain filled heart
here comes the end of the path
And so comes the end of my life
