Red, Black, and Blue

Roses are red

My heart is blue

It's only this way

'Cause I choose it to be

 

I hate it when

Someone makes a promise

And they never keep it

 

I hate it when someone

Makes me want to promise something

I hate it so much

Because I'm only human

And I might not always keep the promise

 

I hate it when people

Compare me to some other girl

They act like I'll end up like her

As if I don't have a say in anything

 

I hate a lot of things

But I also love so many things

I say things I don't mean

I always regret everything

 

That's why in my point of view

Roses are red

Love is dead

And my heart is always blue

[It's my favorite color anyways.]

 

Don't ask me if I'm okay

'Cause if you really know me

You'd know exactly what I'd say

 

I'd say

'I'm fine. I'm better off alone.'

 

I know I'm not okay

But what can I say?

I really don't want you to worry

I just keep saying that

Things are okay the way they are

 

I want to change so many things

But what can I do or say?

I'm just one girl

And no one ever listens to me anyways

 

I love so many things

That I don't want to change

But people change things anyways

 

Like I said before

Just me, one girl

I can't change anything

No not alone

 

I hate how we always have so many wars

With other countries

Why can't we  ALL be friends?

 

So in this small town

I'm just one girl

I can't change a thing

 

So if in my eyes

This is how I see things

How do YOU see things?

 

'Cause I hate

How our country has so many wars

I hate how

Lots of people are homeless

 

I hate lots of things

That I can't change

 

Roses are red, white, pink

But my heart will always be the same

My heart is blue

 

'Cause I hate how everyday people die

I hate even saying goodbye

 

I hate how there are so many wars

Why can't we just all get along?

 

Forever will there be so many things

That I want to change

But I'm just a girl

I can't do anything

 

But don't give up

If we all work together

We can change anything

Things are only impossible

If you believe that it is

 

Anything is possible

Maybe even one day

My heart won't be blue

 

Maybe one day we can stop world hunger

There's so many things we can change

But you have to really try.

Sometimes less is more. Just my opinion. If it were me, I would take a good look at this poem and cut out what is really not necessary. There are lots of things that are of value here, but I think you can cut it down, and have it be even more meaningful.

A very good poem. Your wishes are the hope of many. We live in a world where the money is make off war and guns. I believe the economy of this world must change for peace and taking care of all people can happen. The poem was outstanding. Thank you.

Interesting concept I really like it. It's creative lol people wonder where i come up with things i wonder where you come up with things lol...Really nice job....Love it it's beautiful imagery. Sometimes when dating it's best to be unsure of things so you can learn, but not be stupid so you end up getting hurt. :D

[NXT Eoin]

This is amazingly beautiful. I think it's not your best but, I really enjoyed the emotion that you put into this poem. It's a good way to let out your emotions. (My favorite color is blue too) ;) Keep it up and you can be an author one day.
