brownie1999 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 A friend of mine and I were talking and he told me I should list some of my poetry on here. I didn't think I could or should because this is about music, or at least I thought it was but he told me to list it in the everything section. So just to shut him up I am listing a few of them. Just kidding!! Diary of a MadmanMornings upon me, the new days begunDown come the shades, to block out the sun...I grab for my pillow, to bury my headSurrounded by covers, in my fortress, called bed...The tick of the clock falls mute upon deaf earsEach second that passes, only adds to my fears...Struggling with demons, that live deep insideTrying to escape them, with no place to hide...Trapped in this madness, inside of my headPlaying back reruns, of things done and said...Shutting out those who have stood by my sideTrying to free me from this dangerous ride...My days are lonely, my nights find no sleepI long for the one, who I just couldn't keep...Memories consume every piece of my heartWanting an end, but not knowing how to start...I've lost myself; I have forgotten how to liveFeeling so empty, I have nothing to give...My life has no meaning, each day like the lastCaught up in this hell, I'm stuck living in my past...Written by:Janine WeberTrue BeautyYou tell me that I’m beautiful, please don’t judge me by my faceLook beyond the gift wrap, into a deeper placeMy face is just a canvas, painted with despairLines etched around my eyes are far beyond repairMy body has been broken and stressed beyond my yearsBattle wounds and surgeon’s scars have caused so many tearsUnwrap this package gently and look inside of meThat’s where you’ll find my beauty lies; it’s there for all to seeI am a beautiful woman, and thinking that is no sinFor I know just where my beauty lies, my beauty is withinWritten by:Janine Weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Geez, now I got the hots for Brownie too! Even though I heard rumors she is sometimes bedridden and one bad day from becoming a serial killer (where did I get those ideas?), her talent shines through!

brownie1999 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Even though I heard rumors she is sometimes bedridden and one bad day from becoming a serial killer (where did I get those ideas?)Well my guess would be that your twisted mind is working overtime! But anyway, I did have a few really tough years, BUT I am far from bedridden and "IF" I ever decide to take up serial killing...YOU will be the first person I look up!

lori Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Brownie, have you ever thought of having your poems published? I think you have a very special talent there, and you should look into it. The beauty within was excellent and I wish people would all look at others in that way. The world would be a much better place and people would not be judged by their looks alone.

brownie1999 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks all!!!! I appreciate the feedback. Lori I have thought about it and I have had people tell me I should try to have some of them published but I wouldnt even know where to begin!

lori Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yea. I like to dabble in a bit of poetry myself, but I don't think mine are good enough, and also, I wouldn't know how to get started with publishing. You ought to ask around though, someone probably knows. Anyone on this site knowledgable about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have printed a copy of it so I can keep it to read whenever I want. Brownie, you have immense talent as a poet! Please try to find a publisher so you can have an avenue to express yourself professionally. You're way to good not to be published! Your talents deserve to be exposed to a large audience!I wish you success!!! Won't it be cool if you catch Eric's attention? He does know a tad about writing & publishing!Kim PS- I hope my printing a copy is ok with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
