DECISIONS
They split the path before me
Daring me to venture either way
Neither wrong Neither right
But the choice changes life
forever.
Do you jump off the cliff's edge,
Faith as your guidance, only to
Break across the jagged rocks?
Or do you take the HIGH road,
Ignoring the cliff's call, only to
Regret not exploring those uncharted waters?
It's just another game of
Russian Roulette
We hope to God that Lady Luck's
On our side,
Though we still wish to feel
The bullet's s t i n g
Ups
and
Downs
Lefts and Rights
We experience them all;
All at Chance's
w h i m
Controlled like a puppet
On crooked strings
Fueled by the desire
to succeed
d e c i s i o n s
They split the path before me
Daring me to venture either way
The risk is HIGH, my luck is LOW
I'll take the plunge and change my life
forever.
Literature
Silence
All I want is the words from your lips,
though I don't know how they'll come out.
Will you scream and shout,
or whisper in my ear.
I want to know,
I need to know.
Are the feelings returned.
Or will I be scorned from the words.
I'm falling,
falling so fast.
Will you save me,
or leave me in the past.
The silence goes on,
and I have my answer.
I see it in your eyes,
the way your lips quiver,
afraid to tell me.
But I already know.
The answer is no.
I stop falling, I've hit the ground.
I'm broken.
No longer can I hear her voice,
no longer can I hear her sound.
Literature
Astrological
I have lost myself to
Venus & Mars,
tangled in their mismatched limbs.
Just dream dust & shattered prayers
begging for a new set of skin
(she can't remember where she orbits).
Pluck these fractured wings;
the Sun & Moon no longer ache
to see me fly in their luster.
Literature
I wish...
I wish I was a monster
So I could be kind
And break the stereotypes.
I wish I was colored
So I could respect people
And break the stereotypes.
I wish I was a man
So I could be kind to women
And break the stereotypes.
I wish I had male friends
So we could all be..
Just friends
And break the stereotypes.
I wish I had autism
So I could prove that autism,
Does NOT mean "dumb".
And I could break the stereotypes.
I wish I could change the world.
But sometimes, you can't break a stereotype.
Only stereotypes, can break you.

This is a very unique style of displaying your talent for writing literature like this. Personally, I like to write poetry in a more traditional format and am exploring different options, and I believe that your form of writing poetry is very unique.
I like how you put emphasis on certain words to carry your message over for the other readers to understand.
One of the other points I liked in your poem was the fact that you brought back the first stanza albeit with a different line, yet the impact was there.
I encourage you to explore your options more, because upon reading this, I could see the potential for you. Keep up the good work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
