I challenge you!! (YES, YOU!!)

For those who don't know me, I'm Ashlesha (Ash or OS machine if you want to be informal.)
So...I have been writing poetry for the past 5 years. Real-ish poetry I mean.
Anyone can string together words. I invite you to give it a shot!
Alright so, rather than just me posting, I'd really love this to be a sort of group thing.
Like, a poetry collection where people who love poetry can share their poems and feel right at home.
Why Vidarth?
That's the theme.
Unrequited Love.
We have all gone through it once.
And I guess writing about it is deceptively easy.

I don't really know if anyone would like to take up the challenge, but I've never come across such an amazing and active forum of writers. So, I'm just taking the leap...
I'd be delighted to hear from y'all
I know all the writers out there a busy people with their Lives as well as stories...*mummbles* Exams too.
The poetry doesn't have to rhyme. It can be free verse.
Just let the feelings Flow!




The rules:
1) Write some poetry with a unrequited theme.
2) Have fun writing. Feel free to incorporate any point of view or even different flavors like anger, sarcasm, resentment, wistfulness.
3) Post it here.

Simple ain't it?

Like I never knew you...

It's so easy to tell me to move away
Grow up and mend my wicked ways.
But to tell you honestly,
loving you is like an ugly scar
It always stays.

I'm not afraid to face the world.
Have never been, you see.
I'm not afraid to face the hatred in their eyes.
Not their scorn, not their ignorance, nothing.
Nothing could break me.

I used to be that person, you know.

Yesterday morning I woke up alone.
I've always woken up alone in a way.
A lonely person in a room full of people.
People who can't see the beyond my 'heart of stone'

Hiding my truth comes as naturally
As breathing does.
As loving you does.
As loving me did.
And then, I decided to just hold that thought.

Maybe it's all me, like you said.
Pushing everything under this facade
Fake, pretentious behavior.
Good for nothing.
Egoistic, arrogant.
Maybe I deserve everything
(But not you.)

Maybe I was just drunk
Or maybe I made love up in my head.
Maybe I was too optimistic for once in my life.
I should have stayed away instead.


And so I just sit here,
Looking at stars,
Trying to find reasons and answers
And everything in between.
Maybe I should sit here till
Nothing is left of me.

I know I'm cruel
Insensitive. sometimes.
I was taught to be who I am.
If only you could look past my crimes
And see the pain that consumes me.

It drives me, not logic.
Fear and hate and rage.
I see things that can't be mine.
It claws at my insides.
But how would you know?
All I am is a puppet on a stage.

I'm only playing my part
Giving you the license to hate me.
I get pulled in deeper with every breath
Rewarded with lies, greed and misery.

I think I should give up now
I guess you've had enough too.
Tonight I won't wish for 'us'
But for the strength to live
Like I never knew you

awesome poem!!!!
even i write poems n i would love to try a hand at it..
give me some time
RES
UNRES
here's my try:

I hate my face
which turns in your direction
i hate my thoughts
which have so much affection
i hate my legs
as nearer to you they walk
i hate my mouth
as only with you they wish to talk
i hate my lips
which smile foolishly
i hate my mind
which cares for you stupidly
i hate my eyes
which long for you
i hate my heart which loves you true
