Alright its time for me to put my poetry on display. I write new ones occasionallly so keep coming back for more. heres what I have so far.

MY HOBBIES
My name is Amber Snaith
My favorite animal is a snake
I love to read and draw
So stand back and watch with awe
runescape its my favorite game
watch me cause these boys some pain
I have nothing better to do
than to be on here with you

SOMEONE
roses are red
violets are blue
sometimes i wish i was dead
i get so filled with dread
what do you do when life is sad?
what do you do when life is bad?
how do you stop the tears?
even after many years?
its like they'll never end
and then around another bend
you see a shred of light
someone to help you with your plight
hes so sad
and yet so glad
how can I say no
and not let my emotions go
just when i thought they were gone
these feelings make me long
to be with you
how do I tell you?
how do I make you see?
how much I need you and you need me?
what do I say?
yea or neigh
why does life have to be so annoying
why cant it be enjoying
why do I have to yearn
for somthing I didnt earn
how do I make these feelings end?
Why cant I twist or bend?
why does this happen to me?
why cant cupid just let me be?
i love you so much baby
if only you could see

FRIENDS

friends are supposed to be there
no matter what and no matter where
there supposed to help you out
and keep you from being sad
in fact there supposed to make you glad
but it seems that all my friends are jerks
and it seems that they all betray me sometime
Misty was sweet and we were friends for eight years
before she left me (literally ran away) and brought me to tears
my cousin katy I loved her so
we were raised together for 18 years
and she also brought me to tears
and then my good friend who I trusted so much
desides to call me names behind my back
maybe he should think before he yacks
I dont deserve any of these things that have happened to me
I would do anything to help a friend and make them happy
but no matter what it seems that all they want is to be so sappy

SETH
o my dear adopted baby boy
how sorry I am for things ive done
I only hope and pray we are still one
I love you so much my darling son
all I want is to make you proud
to stand with me even in a crowd
I want to show you how much I love you
I want you to see
how much you mean to me
I understand you cant be my man
I totally see that you and me
will never stand a chance to be
but please my baby boy whom I love
please understand that what I see
is for you to be the best you can be
all I do is to help
all I try is for you
now promise to always be true
cause you know I will
always be true to you

ABC'S OF DERRICK
A face as cute as flowers
Because i always know i
Can count on him for anything
Depending on the situation
Everything will be alright
Finally someone to help me
Get my life straightened out
Happiness surrounds him
I cant see how I lived without
Jack is not his name nor is it tim
Keeping me happy and outta trouble
Living life to the fullest
Mr derrick is the best
No one can best him at being a freind
Only my wonderful boyfriend sean even comes close
Perhaps tonys around there also
Quit staring cause your never gonna take him from me
Run as fast as you can and he will still be here with me
So totally wonderful
Totally awsomly cool
Until the world explodes and we are dead we will remain
Very good freinds
We will be here together friends forever
Xplain exactly how you will tear us apart
Y cant you understand the connection we share
Zoooooooooooooos are a fun place to go

LOSS

like my heart breaking in two
is the loss of a freind like you
when I feel the unbearable pain
its like im dying over and over again
the awful unending stress
of losing someone you love best
twice I have had this happen to me
why do all the assholes choose to be
the ones I come to love the most
im crying so hard I cant see this screen to post
o tony how could you do this to me?
why didnt you see?
I love you so much and I need you to be
Right here close to me
I cant bear to be without you
Just remember you will always be my boo
The one I love the most
until the day im a ghost
I love you tony and everything about you
when the day comes you need me remember who
will always and forever be here
to wipe away all your tears.
You think that I woulda learned my lesson
when this happened with Kevin
Sometimes I can be so stupid
but everytime I get hit by cupid
and eventually the arrow he shot
breaks through and pierces my heart
causing this to happen
my open wound to reopen
and at this rate it will never heal
and I will never be happy enough to jump around with zeal

WHY?
Why do my friends always leave me?
Why do guys always want me?
Why is it that im always depressed?
Why is it that my life is such a mess?
Why cant people just see?
Why cant people understand me?
Why do I have to put up with idiots treating me bad?
Why do I have to put up wtih people not understanding me?
Why cant I feel the love?
Why cant I get away from the pressure?
Why is it I have to deal with everyone not appreciating me?
Why is it I have to deal with life being like it is?
Why cant you guys see?
Why cant you understand?
I gotta have sean.
Hes my man.
I need him so bad.
He makes me so happy/
Please dont take him away from me.

MY LIFE

I was raised as no one should have to be
At the age when most kids are watching tv
I spent my time reading books
I never did worry much about looks
When I was ten my parents divorced
And at that age I considered it the worst
At sixteen I moved in with my dad
I thought it was the best idea I ever had
I discovered the internet and as you all know
with the internet comes stuff that shouldnt even flow
through a sixteen year old innocent girls head
Half that stuff made me go brain dead
I met this guy named Kevin
And when I was with him it was like I was in heaven
I spent all night on that computer
Hoping that he would find me cuter and cuter
But alas that friendship couldnt last
He turned me into a complete outcast
"I never wanna see you again"
is the end of that before it even began
When I turned eighteen I met Chris
He never once tried to diss
but alas on our sixth month anniversery of marriage
he tried to kill me and I ended up like a baby in a carriage
I had to relearn everything and get my life back
but hey this is what happens when you get stabbed in the back
Now I am twenty and A lot ive learned
except for one thing that will always get my burned
I have adopted a son named seth and to me he can do no wrong
but like a chinese man banging on a gong
everyone else can see the things he does and how he acts
just like a very spoiled siamese cat
I am head over heels for my freind sean
His parents say that this is wrong
they have forbid us to ever speak
not once a month not once a week
so I sit here in my embarrassing shame
not understanding why i chose to play this game
The feeling of not being with him are unbearable
but as long as I have tony I know its repairable
Tony is my boyfriend now
and he would treat me good even if I looked like a cow
Tony loves me so incredibly much
and I cant wait for the day when I can touch
the wedding ring I know will be
on his finger and of course on me
so my friends as you can see
life is terrible to me
it can cause you agonizing pain
but if you give it a chance it will make it go away again
trust in your heart and you will see
just how wonderful love can be
At times youll wanna die
or stuff your face with pie
but dont worry to much
and do not clutch
your heart to your chest and keep it close
give it to someone you trust the most.

WHAT TO DO?
I love this guy his name is Tony.
Hes the best and makes me happy
Hes sweet and loves me to
in fact i seriously consider him my boo
WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO

Theres another guy that I love
His parents think hes sent from above
Because of them we cant even talk
So I hope and pray and look and gawk
WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO

I want them both and im not sure what to do
To make them both my boo
There both so sweet and kind to me
And all I want is to make them happy
WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO

For now Tony is my boyfreind
and Im happier than when we were just freinds
But sad days is the day when I see sean again
Cause then ill worry about what to say
How to I tell him what do i say?

WORRIES
When your worried about the people you love
Its like you look down from above
and watch them as they make mistakes
and only hope they get some breaks
so why do you love people in the first place
when all that happens is heartbreak
i loose all those that I truly want
and then i feel like a stupid cunt
as i watch them all wind up hurt
because they all act like a stupid jerk

A DREAM
Last night as I lay in bed sleeping
I had an interesting dream creeping
It was very confusing
somewhat horrifying
I went to Iowa to visit my boyfriend Tony.
All was going well to begin with
I pulled up to his house and knocked on the door
And when I finally saw him there went my breath
I immediatly gave him a hug and kiss
He of course replied with the same
but then just to make it confusing
The love of my life Sean comes strolling up the lane
He stands next to me
Puts his hand in mine
And omg what do I see
But him proposing marriage..............to me
Now what do I do and what do I say?
I stand there confused and a little bit dazed
Tony immediatly pushes sean away
"No you cant do this" I heard him scream
I fall down to the ground not sure what to do
As consiousness slowly leaves me until im totally confused
I wake up in a bed and next to me my boo
My teddy bear tonys hugging me tight
Crying silent tears
I sit up and pull him into my lap
Smileing a little as hes so happy
Im waiting for him to clap
I kiss him on the lips
Hold him close to me
And silently pray that
This is the right place to be
I woke up at that time to look at my phone
Looks like his cousin mike
Has called me to wake me up for work
Now mike I do like
Hes always there for me
As ive said before
I hope this is the right place to be
o please my teddy bear tony dont push me out the door.

THE BREAKUP
Working hard at my hotel
I call up my man and what the hell
Hes acting like a total jerk
Hes being so mean to me at work
I got pissed off and told him off
had to get offf my phone before my boss
caught me on there
Omg I cant bear
I call up his cousin mike
Who you all know I like
Well he asked me out
What was that about?
I love mike so much and he makes me happy
I only hope its the right place to be
Hes so sweet and his dads nice to
I only hope he will be like my boo
I love tony so much and it killed me to leave
but please im not gonna be treated like a pile of leaves
You may not jump on me or kick me around
till Im broken and dead on the ground
I wont put up with it I tell you now
My o my how did this happen how o how?
I have went through three guys in two weeks
Its kinda sad how bad habits keep
I only hope me and mike will work out
Please o please tell me what this relationship is about
I love you mike my dearest friend
When you enter a room the sun comes in
Your sweet and kind and never mean
In fact Ive never realized just how much you mean
to me my dearest one
now to you I will willingly come
I only hope that life turns out well
And that we will work out as well

LIFE UPDATED
endless joy fills my heart
as I imagine life with you
O baby lets not part
I cant be without you
Promise to be here for me always my darling
I want to hold you
Feel your hands in mine carressing
I want you
Please baby stay with me and I promise all happiness will be had
I need you
And I will make you very very glad

LOST

Theres this guy who I love very much.
I got mad at him for somthing he did
and because of that weve lost touch
What do you do when this love you have wont die?
How do you make him understand you still care very very much
He used to be so sweet and kind
And now its like he just dosent give a fuck
I miss him so much and it breaks my heart to be without
And I dont know how to get him back

LIFE BACK ON TRACK
Theres this close friend of mine
we dated for a while
we got into a huge fight and broke up
and stoped talking for a while
and now once again weve become freinds
hopefully it wont end for a while
I love tony so incredibly much
I only hope it will last for a while
I want him and me to be best friends forever
please tony stay here for me always

STILL THE SAME
Why hasent he changed?
Why is he still the same?
Why cant he see how much he means to me?
Why dont he understand how much i want to be?
Why is it that he cant get a clue?
Why does he think its all a game?
Why cant he grow up?
Why must it all stay the same?
Why must I hide my feelings from him?
Why dont he understand me?

DEFIANCE
pushing him away as hard as they can
all these people who are chasing off my friend
they dont want us to be together
dont want us to hope
they dont want us to love each other
how how how do we cope?
our love grows stronger every day
and chases our blues far away
it keeps us strong and together more
it makes you sad to see the score
o love dont let them suceed
dont bend dont heed
let them try all they want but please dont let them do it
dont let them make us fight
dont let them make us hate
keep strong together with me
and very very soon you will see
here we will stay strong and safe
here we will be together forever
i love you so much and you know this is true
so please o please dont let them push you

ME

Sometimes when life get you down
it leaves you with nothing but a frown
How do you fix the mood
that has accured from several dudes
Why cant people just understand
that you cant be like your man
You have your own style and your own ways
and you need to express them in different ways
Your who you are and not like them
you cant become a lemming
You have to show what you are like
even if it isent well liked
I am the person that I am
I act the way that ive been taught
This is me and the person ive always been
And I will be like this to the end
I dont forgive and i dont forget
I love you dear one and remember it
I will always be here for you hun
just like we are one
Im sorry if i sometimes dont agree
with every thing you say or see
But lovey I am me
and ALWAYS WILL BE
thats JUST ME!!!!

THE PAIN
When you love someone who dosent care
How do you make the pain go away?
What happens when you want that person to see
Just how much you care about them?
Sometimes the pain you feel
Increases with every passing moment
You just want them to understand
That you think about them
You want them safe from harm
You want them happy
And yet you have another delima
What if your with someone else?
And you cant leave them

ITS WRONG
no matter what i do
its wrong
no matter what i say
its wrong
no matter how hard i try
its wrong
i cant do anything and get it right
im always wrong
I just want to get it right so bad and i cant

SADNESS AND SORROW
The pain I feel is worse than anything. I dont think pain could hurt anymore if it wanted to. This is the last time I plan on doing this. I will not apologize nor will I bend to the will of another. I will take charge. I will show him whose boss. I will not break and I will not bend. I will be the one who will win. You cant beat me and you cant best me. I am the one who shall be laughing while your in pain and hurting. I will not frown nor will I stop smiling. I will walk around with a grin on my face and get on with my life. Tony you shall not make me beg again and never again will you be on my mind. I will always love you but I will not let you control me anymore. I am in charge and here I am proving it. Tonight the spell will take effect and I wont think of you ever again cause I am strong and I am tall and you know what fuck you fuck you all.

MY FRIEND
Friends are the world to me
Some leave me
Others ignore me
A few abuse me
But one has stood by me through it all
Hes never left me alone
Supported me through everything
To me that friend is the best one ive ever had
Hes always there for me
He talks to me
Cheers me up
I love him so much
If only he would understand just how much he means to me
Without his conversation every week I would have no reason to look forward to the weekends
I love you and I promise I will be here for you forever

CANT HURT ME
I may be sad as hell
I may be upset
I may have lost my best friend in the whole world
But at least im here
I wont kill myself
I wont cry
I wont let him hurt me this time
I am in control
I am in charge
Like hell hes gonna hurt me again
I have dealt with it before and I will again
YOU CANT HURT ME!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT AGAIN
walking down the halls in school today
somthing i was hoping would never happen again occured
i saw him..........
walking out the door from class
why did this have to happen
why must fate torture me like so
why did he have to get out of class at that exact time
why did i have to go down the hall right then
why didnt he say anything to me
why didnt he see me
Am i invisable again
as invisable as this tear that made its ways down my cheek
no one notices
no one cares
theres no point anymore

COMPLICATED LOVE
O friend of mine
how wonderful are you
you mean the world to me
as i know i mean to you
theres somthing i wish you to know
but i dont know how to go
about telling you how it is
so heres my response to that feeling i have
I THINK IM FALLING IN LOVE
with how wonderful you are
your so important to me
I feel the pain of not being around you
i feel the sorrow of you not being here
god how do i do this
.....im in love with you.......
or at least getting there

PEOPLE IN MY LIFE
I deleted someone from my mind forever
I dont remember him or who he was but i do know i loved him
and hes gone
another has come into my life
hes stolen a special spot in my heart
and he will forever reside there
my adopted brother is still there
I still love him more than anything
and he knows i will be here for him always

WHY?
Why did i have to remember?
why did he come back?
how could they do this to me?
I dont want these thoughts back
*cries* all i had was my sorrow and my hate
but now my heart feels warm towards you once again

AN EPIPHANY

He comes to me in my dreams
He just wont leave me be
How do I make the memorys of when we first met
Disappear as fast as a jet
The tears well up
And I feel all alone
I sit up in bed
And cry so hard it hurts
I sit here and think to the god i worship
Why must i endure this trial you have set before me
Why do I have to cry and be sad
Why cant I just be glad
Back to me comes this thought
And its hard to admit but I know its true
I will never ever be happy without you........
Tony I cant live through the pain of losing you
Please come back to my life again
and just be my friend.

SAM
O friend of mine
your so sweet and kind
I love spending time with you and talking to you
your wonderful in how you act
so sweet and great
together this clan will be the best
and we will beat all the rest
I have faith in you and me
we will rule all of runescape both of us
everyone will bow to us and we are to be so happy
I love you and you love me
and forever bestest friends we shall be

i like them. this is me being picky, but maybe you could make them a little looser? like some of them seem a little awkward. but still really good. :)

hehe thanks a lot. they are the way I express my feelings. So I kinda write whatever comes to mind. there not planned out or anything.

O:!
:c
This one touched me. T~T

First... I can't really say anything about seeing as they're just "therapy poetry" and not really true poetry. I know when you read that you won't understand what I mean by it, but there's just too much for me to go through and correct on ALL of you poems and really, I'm interested in getting into another argument on how "therapy poems" are not real poetry.

Just believe me when I say it. ;)


As far as your feelings go, they're a fairly okay look into your life, i suppose.

I didnt post them to get critiqued. I posted them cuz I love writing poems. Ive had a lot of people who say that they can relate to specific poems I write and it helps them also Its how I express my feelings.

Do tell me though wat is therapy poetry? Im quite interested.

Please tell me you're not starting an arugement... I'm in no mood really...

Therapy poetry is exactly what you said yours were -- simply your feelings and they're just for you. Yes, people can realte to them because they're simple and used basically to get something off your chest. There's no real imagery being used or any poetic device other than in the ABC poem. I was quite suprised you used a real form. For instance in the poem "Why" where you ask all those questions; that's not a very good way of writing because your reader doesn't have the answers and you're obviosly not supplying them. The point of a poem is, yes, to express your feelings but not in such a.. how do I put it... like you just copied it outta your journal and threw in line breaks. Does that make any sense? If not, I can try to explain it better.

perfect sence and I dont argue. I talk in a rational manner. I am an adult not some child. I appreciate your opinion. I beilieve that everyone reserves the right to them. Personally I just write poems for fun not professionaly. therefore I dont see why it has to have a style or a specific structure. to me that is not fun.
