Poems and Lyrics

Hey everybody! Today is my poem and lyric day. These are some of my Favorites.

William Shakespeare’s Tenth Sonnet (poem)
For shame ! deny that thou bear’st love to any,
Who for thyself art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many,
But that thou none lovest is more evident ;
For thou art so possess’d with murderous hate
That ‘gainst thyself thou stick’st not to conspire,
Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate
Which to repair should be thy chief desire.
O ! change thy thought, that I may change my mind :
Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love ?
Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind,
Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove :
Make thee another self, for love of me,
That beauty still may live in thine or thee.


Bridge Over Troubled Water
By: Simon and Garfunkel
When you’re weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side,
When times get rough and friends just can’t be found,
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
(Sail on Silver Girl) Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine.
If you need a friend I’m sailing right behind.
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a Bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.









Tears and Rain
By James Blunt
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud.
Instead I’ve found no meaning.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
It’s more than just words: It’s just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind:
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I’m so cold from fear.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same it just keeps me from trouble.
It’s more than just words: It’s just tears and rain.

How Does It Feel
By Avril Lavigne
I’m not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breathe
And I don’t need much of anything
But suddenly

I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly


How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

I am young and I am free
But I get tired and I get weak
I get lost and I can’t sleep
But suddenly, suddenly

How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

Would you comfort me?
Would you cry with me?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

I am small and the world is big
But I’m not afraid of anything

How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel to be
Different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

How does it feel
How does it feel
You’re different from me, different
How does it feel
How does it feel
You’re different from me, different

Sweet Dreams (are made of this) by: Eurythmics

Sweet Dreams are made of this.
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas,
Everybody is looking for something.

Some of them want to use you,
Some of them want to be used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you,
Some of them want to be abused.

Hold your head up, Keep your head up!
Movin’ on.

That is all my fingers can take for now! I just thought of something! UG! I am so dumb (no that is not what I thought of) I could have just found the lyrics on the Internet but no I had to type everything!!!
So what are your fav. Songs or Poems???
