It's a long road From cradle to the grave Who carries the load Will vary with age Going from a crawl to a run Early joy of simple things Then the fight for diamond rings Tales of lust Stories of love Moments of faith World full of hate Some are lucky Stunning to behold Others get different roles Your heart will beat until it stops Just like the steps along the road Born into this world Small and new Not much at first for you to do Nurtured to survive Designed to grow Every moment increases what you know Not sure what you love or you hate You only know when you feel safe A little time You can move yourself Waddling around exploring your little world As you develop you start to judge Play is natural and questions abound Finally steady on your feet Starting to complain about everything seen Now you meet others who start to judge you New emotions running all amok Many lose their self worth here and get stuck Body changing hit rapid now Chemical explosions, brains rewiring Attraction
A sharp biting winding Modeling all into something smooth As it shifts the contour adjusts Making curves in new places that line up The pressure is steady The direction keeps changing Beating and twisting Till they all start to look the same
Show me your words I will show you mine Reading your poems all the time You know who are when I write to you Sometimes I think they are for me when I read them too It does not matter if I am wrong or right Just knowing that I enjoy reading what you write The troubles you state The heart you expose The expressions you make I appreciate those Sharing right back My life turned to words Old moments transformed Secrets to reach The eyes and the souls Of those who feel no one else could understand So show me your words and I will show you mine
Next time it will be right Right and happy every night Every night will be filled with glee Glee because they appreciate me Appreciate me because I will accept them Accept them because love will make me Love will make me because Next time it will be Be every night Every night filled Filled because Because love Love I don't think I am ready for next time yet
Maybe I'm a little bit crazy Maybe I am just outright nuts Maybe I just some something before anyone else does Playing in the school yard Sitting around the class Hearing your voice I feel in love fast You always had eyes for any other guy And the way you shined dimmed everyone else Your stamped in my soul and will stay till my grave You hate me for loving you and I can never be saved Maybe I'm a little bit crazy Maybe I am just outright nuts Maybe I just some something before anyone else does Time moved on by We brushed again and again My feelings never changed Never will yours To me you define beauty To you I define gross Time cut out the middle man And I hate myself most Maybe I'm a little bit crazy Maybe I am just outright nuts Maybe I just some something before anyone else does Decades later You are famous as hell I'm still just gross I'll take your hate to my grave and you will never know
Hear my words Read between the lines Please look deep Help Find me I am lost in your eyes Drowning in your soul It feels like forever And you don't even know Hear my words Read between the lines Please look deep Help Find me You have passed me by Trusted me as friend They are all so perfect the ones you do see I'm right here look to me Hear my words Read between the lines Please look deep Help Find me No one will ever see Your beauty like me I am the one who shares your soul How could you not know Hear my words Read between the lines Please look deep Help Find me I'll buy you a ring I'll build you a home We'll fill it with laugher I'll wipe away your tears So please be brave And look at me You know the truth Take the risk and let yourself find me
I sit here staring at a pen, wondering what words I can get out of it. A sort of magic wand that can transform anything locked in my soul It can make flowers bloom or die, new lives of any age on a whim Love stories both sweet and cruel can flow through it The pen can move anything, create anything we let flow out of us
Imprinting is nature's cruelest trick when it does not go both ways It strikes like venom from a light fast snake you saw just a moment to late The curse of a one-way imprint poisons every breath and every step The brightest of the pack and ugliness in the fur so aware each thought throbs with that ichor Overachieving and avoiding any sort of competition at the same time Boasting and jumping to show his quick mind, showing off to distract from his pain Imprinting seems like it will be for life and the biggest reason the ugly dog looks forward to the end

numbness of my eyes
that creeping tiredness
where the tears flow
and I can't seem to wake
why?
too many hours up the following morning
and a dream that I can't make any sense of
so I'm not shaking that moment
and the void touches me deeply
so my eyes are screeching completely
yet somehow I'll continue
although my needs
aren't quite
what I need
at the moment
She sits at her desk
Her headphones in,
The world shut out.
She bleeds for others
As words fly from
Her mind to her fingertips.
She stares at the screen,
At every little comment,
The good and the painful.
She forms her emotions
Into books and poems
To throw away the hurt.
She's a writer,
And her best weapons
Are her mind and her pen.

Literature
the invisible wounds of war
home is so different when you're
standing behind the wall;
i wonder of the people who
live/will live in that house now as i
stand yonder on the neighbor's
yard,
my face illuminated in a yellow
light.
i wonder if they'd listen to my winding
stories; the nights i'd scream
back at my parents as they screamed
at each other -
the tornadoes and storms that ripped
through the back yard, leaving us untouched
but devastating others -
the christmas and easter mornings, good
times and bad, dreams and heartbreak
and so much cigarette smoke staining
the walls and my lungs.
(we were a good american family with
good american values and traditions,

I feel alone.
Seperate from others.
Suffering from a broken heart.
I cry.
I have friends.
They care for me.
But their too busy with their lives.
Am I selfish?
I stand in the highwall not caring.
I watch my life pass by in blurrs.
Turning my head just looking around.
I bleed.
My heart bleeds.
I feel so alone.
I watch people hug and kiss.
I want.
I try to get noticed.
I scream at the top of my lungs.
No one notices.
I fall.
I curl up in fetal position in the middle of the floor.
I tug my hair gently to see if I'm still alive.
I claw at my skin to bleed more.
I disappear.
My life keeps on going.
But I dont.
I walk like
I find myself in need of the free therapy writing poetry provides me once again.
The muse of one side of my brain whispering to the other is too loud to pass up.
Anyone that still bothers to read them I hope they bring some level of enjoyment or at l...
