Well hi there! My name is Nelson Torres and I'm 16 years old, I started writing when I was in 8th grade I believe, I am now in 11th and still interested in becoming a writer. I just wanted to get my poems out and see what people think of them, so don't mind criticizing, I can take the heat and I want it so I can improve. I know I'm not that great but I'm still on my way to learning, I hope you enjoy the poems I have shared with you guys and always remember to comment and tell me what you think :) .
Hopelessly hoping that hope will come along.
How about you close your eyes an realize it's not all out to get you,
Because what you believe, what you think, is the most real to you.
It doesn't matter if you're dead or alive,
...
Shame, came, popping pain pills,
For some reason forgetting seems to bring thrills.
And even though we're killing our own brain cells;
"it's better to be locked than alive and well".
...
We all watch as her body's getting stripped
Pulled her from her roots and saw her ivory get ripped.
Such beauty was made, looked upon the eyes of destruction
Stolen from her temple for our silly mass production.
...
You politicians are so sick
Because all the information that you pick
Just brings fear into another's eyes.
You play it like a game
...
Whatever, I won't cry I won't reap,
I just fail to see why my recognition was breached.
Judging is inevitable, that I understand,
But that doesn't give you an excuse to hurt another for loving a man.
