Oddworld Forums - Your Poems

Sander sent me the url to an old Love Poems thread yesterday, and it was quite interesting reading. So in this thread I want people to post their own poems, whatever the genre. ^_^

Special Needs

I have special needs
what do you see?
A child without a future,
A mental poverty.

I have special needs
what can you do?
Don't give me medicine,
All I need is you.

I have special needs
is it fate?
That at home and school,
It's me they hate.

I have special needs
why can't I understand?
Why does daddy hit
me with his hands?

I've got special needs
lying dead against the door,
Mummy won't stop crying,
Daddy won't hit no more.

The shell

If you should ask
Someone what they feel,
They would tell you
What you see is not real.

The shell you see,
Is old and fake,
They only smile
They want to break.

They would say
They're secretly sad,
They hate themselves
They're always bad.

They cut themselves
And waste away,
Untill finally
They die one day.

If you should ask
Me what I feel,
I would tell you
What you see is real.

The shell you see,
Is happy and light,
Nothing to love,
But always right.

I will say
I'm secretly bored,
With the world today,
I have no lord.

I sing and dance,
And bounce around,
No problems or cares
Or pain I've found.

If you still should ask
Me what I feel,
I would tell you
What you see is not real.

Heart of Ice

How can you say you love me,
And reject me this way,
You only said I was amazing
and you loved me yesterday,
Now your friend told you,
How I feel inside,
I want to end this life of mine,
Caught in a web of lies,
Why do you think so little,
Of me that you use,
Blackmail to gain when,
It's my love you'll lose,
Never say never,
Or try to apologize,
My tears can see you,
Without your disguise,
When you get this,
I'll already have died,
So here's to you, And the,
Heart of Ice you tried to hide.
