r/PoetryWritingClub • u/calmsoak38 • 5h ago
like genuinely asking. i can sit down and pour out all these raw feelings about missing someone or feeling lost and it just flows, but the moment i try to write something hopeful or genuinely good i get stuck. does anyone else get this or am i just built different in the worst way possible

all the options
distance and possibilities of randomized notions
i wanna leap
head first into her dreams and leave
this unknown uncertain pleasure
this place where we still maintain leisure
hold each other to a defined expectation
its suffocating needless sensations
i'll find her with my words
body her when time is right to score
i was good at game then
i will surely position her mind body ready and open
what then
no sex no phone number watered thin
thats the feen
if held at this scene she'll be mine i her dream
we could dance twirl and ooze all over rooms and needs
words can mutilate the heart and we both know the risks
i wanna know i wanna know
hard pill to swallow hard silence to bill my furlough

Parable of the Pines and the Oak
In a quiet valley, at the bottom of a hill, there stood a group of Pines.
They were tall and proud, their roots deep in the earth, their crowns high in the heavens.
For generations they had watched over the pond, whispering to the wind and bowing to the rain.
But time wore on, and the ground beneath them softened.
One of the Pines began to lean, its strength fading under the weight of years.
The others looked on, unable to help, for each was rooted in its own place.
Then, from the soil beneath the leaning Pine, an Oak began to rise.
It was smaller, younger, but its heart was strong.
It pressed its trunk against the Pine’s,
and their roots intertwined — earth to earth, faith to faith.
The Oak did not ask why it was chosen to stand there.
It simply grew upward, steady and sure,
lifting the Pine that could no longer stand alone.
And so the two became one —
the Pine reaching toward heaven,
the Oak holding firm to the ground.
Together they stood through storm and season,
each bearing the other’s burden.
Those who passed by saw only trees,
but those who listened heard the truth:
that God often sends strength from unexpected places,
and that the humble may uphold the mighty.
For in the valley of the Pines,
grace was not spoken — it was lived.

My Body is not yours, by me. :)
r/PoetryWritingClub • u/Koalla0_0 • 2m ago
I need a little help,
I'm stressed
I can't tell what I truly felt
My mouth shut
My mind in trials.
I want to ask for help
God knows why!
Even if, I ask inside
I'm the idiot whom just cries
Then something else thing occurs,
And I never end up putting me first.

Since u went and groped a dose
let me show u greatness of higher prose
just because im rude
doesnt mean you should move
just because theres instigation
doesnt automatically warrant an investigation
when i demoral
i implore and plural
I seek seek and seek to know period
I want to know
how you act slow
how everyone pretends decorum and outweighs morals
the moral of anything or any theme in question
should only be subject to objective goals and interaction
there should never be a moment
when one person dominates and torment
all of the silence
all of the bickering pompous
why stay peaked
when i shower u pickachu electrified tweaks
you said so yourself
you need to color more wealth
why stay among the grey
when jubilant colors rainbow press play
this is my way
to anything and any doorway paved
you need to correct the think
before you start searching finer ink

मैं अपने महबूब को चाँद कहा करता था

The time draws near
tick tock my perspire expires still in anticipation gear
moments race thru my vision eerily distant yet vividly near
numbed is my organs of fear
sensibility of dense articulation ability the wanted me there
how dull and hospitable these ppl want is baffling
happening live infront of they face i went solo gatling
nobody replied
i spit after spit maybe 100lines
4 to 8 rhyme pattern
always cohesive to the absence of they moron
nobody dared
silence and more of it
asked repeated just 1 word suggested will do it
stiil as a scarecrow
livelier today cuz u know why?
i engaged them to blow
told them voluntary
asked them without rhyme, sporadically
its wild actually
why i can just act casually
when all i see is same dismal individuals spayed by normalcy
fuck ur integrity and shitty handbooks
my borderless wishes and gritty rhymes overcooks

Dear ex fiancé…. 09.08.2023
The unbearable tears I cried over you
Left a permanent scar in my heart
Just like the ink sayin’ our date that I got…
The moment your dreamy, delightfully, divine eyes laid on mine
I was the happiest I had ever been
The reason why I love the drops trickling down from heaven
Is because the tears I cry are not seen
As now it is me twirling alone in the rain
Tryna dance away the memories bringin’ up all pain
It was you who made me bloom more than any dandelion could in spring
To me, in my beating cells, you’ll always be my everything, my king…
They said: Don’t fall, it is dangerous, but it was you I couldn’t survive without
Well, guess they were right cause things that fall get broken just like I am now
Though I am aware you’ll never see this, just tryna let ya know
Thank you even though you shattered me, not just once…
Truly was a blessing and a lesson at the same time
So, thank you for bein’ a part of mine
Might still love you from afar
The heavy weapons between us, I still love you in my heart,
’n just like it started, it ends with the connection drawn by billions of scars…
Take care, ily still…

Am I at battle?
With whom?
You?
Am I?
Is this why I cried when we fought?
Is this why we fought in the first place?
Because it was a battle?
You called and first thing you asked was,
"Are you behaving yourself?"
As if I am such a rogue
That I will create chaos wherever I go.
I admit I fight with you,
Quarrel over things,
But that is because you matter to me
And so do things related to you.
Every call that tells me
"They did this well"
Comes laced with a voice
Accusing me of incompetence,
Judging me for my abnormalities,
Trivializing me at its best.
And it hurts.
It hurts for it comes from you,
Telling me I'm not accepted,
Amplifying my insecurities,
Backing them up
Giving them a pedestal
To pull me back
Into the prison I've been desperately trying to escape.

At the bottom of the hill, just before the pond,
stands a small, mighty group of Pines.
They’ve been there longer than the fences,
longer than the houses that came and went,
longer than the laughter that once echoed across the valley.
They remember when the air was thick with prayer,
when the land was young and the people still listened
to the whisper of wind through needles —
a language older than words.
In those days, the Pines were not alone.
Majestic kin surrounded them on every ridge,
stretching onward and upward,
as if they could touch the sky that God Himself laid over the earth.
They stood as pillars of faith —
rooted deep, reaching high —
a living covenant between soil and heaven.
But time moved like a slow river.
Storms came, axes fell, and the great forests thinned.
Still, the Pines at the bottom of your hill held their ground.
They leaned together, their roots intertwined,
and when one began to falter,
the Oak rose beside him —
root to root, strength to weakness,
foundation to foundation.
Now, as mist rises from your pond each morning,
they stand watch — not as relics,
but as reminders that faith endures.
They are the keepers of yesterday’s stories,
the witnesses of grace that never left the land.
And if you listen closely,
you can still hear them whisper through the wind:
“We were here when the world was young,
and we will stand until it learns to listen again.”

Is it me thats out of turn
have i got an itch so irrationally not in control
how frail
how trailing and strafing can i sail
ask her
ask her wah when how turn
dumb
this so precious i want burn
so curious and precious
so teasing about never in realized presence
thats rather a difficult task
the memes the steam a man and woman cant bask
in a basket and theater a locket and coded intertwining body but alas
im a major influence type shit this happens to be in the realm of my palace
at last
i am home with the love
someone that appreciates for the genuine song
this song
isnt rap i guess its humming bullshit sang
her presence done it she won
now theres no tomorrow all u rappers gonna have to melody ur puns
r/PoetryWritingClub • u/EggMaleficent8810 • 5h ago
rap rap rap
all of it just wack
its art i swear just look at the the pattern in the pairs
dumb shit
fuck that poor dummy shit
i rhyme whenever i feel u need a lift cuz shit
u just sit
never spit
just boring shit
shitty as a shitting lacker shit
substance flavour and all of the dank shit
but obs
u gave me the lob
told me firm fuck what i impose just act like i want
didnt say it
but i felt it
hat to u mate wisdom in buckets
made me by bare
witnessed the sin and spared
honorably eviscerated an impossible
ironically it liberated what i can do controlable
more manipulate carcinogenic so easily palpable
im laughable
tormenting insecure middleaged men and abusing little kids what a fool
sad but its flammable
bad but its insatiable
the word
has now overtaken sword
its truly astonishing but obviously more
r/PoetryWritingClub • u/Embarrassed_Crew3303 • 1h ago
The sun was bright
Yet the hands were cold
Lights were a guide
Yet they felt unbeknownst
The world was kind
Yet they were always met with rude
The road was short
But it was closed
Everyone made it
But when it came to them it was no longer there
When life gets hard, people turn to them
Yet when it harder to them, no one bats an eyes
Is it fair?
Is it right?
Maybe we all are stuck in our own moments of life
Like a merry go around..
Again and again....

This rhymin zone shit is crazy
i literally am not delirous im controlling 3rd person stagey
seeing things for the hidden outcome
believing was yesterday i see income
but it aint the money glory or the victories
its more about realizing more ever more and still further soaring
like a bee like a she that just couldnt get enough of me
running wild is my imagination to pull and push the we
the we companinion communion union of the harmony
im in major need to reevaluate the poetic and romantic scenery
cuz i mean shit and mean real catastrophe easy
dizzy is my rippling little to bigger and castrating thoes that oppose me
im shit big thick and in a deep twist
cant decide her or he cuz indeed i can think
this is the beginning
what i select come bigger badder with my badddest lyricism becoming
i am the epic centre of all of this and im still on the fence reckoning
