In the Fray (school)
hours, hours yes they fly by
so far away, so high in the sky
i just cannot reach
any of my dreams and there is a breach
in consciousness and rhyme
and this gap may last for all time
in the middle of the test
taking a crazy exam with little food and little rest
they think i am crazy now
maybe not done asking the question how
and why?
why o why do i write am i high? or something
or on drugs? nay and no i say
quite frankly, no not today,
never
it seems like such a useless endeavor
to forget one's problems in a such a way
therefore i run far away
from such things as i take my test
the bell rings yay done

Cold As It Goes By
my o my
another day gone by
one more out the window
one more out the door
one time left to hit the floor
and find this time it is no show
this is real
no need to squeal
you have felt the pain
you have known since your life began to wain
black figure dashing out of the house
bodies with blood and one dead mouse
something that just got in
the way...... black and red... here
and there almost everywhere
like retribution for a sin
something has happened now
they on the outside may only ask the witness how
but he is dead
before they even came with lead

The Chronicles of A New Day part 3 Now I'm Coming Now I'm Running
Running... running pant... pant... running to where?
sometimes i forget... sometimes i don't care
as i run and run i seem to get closer to you
and you get closer to me too
i run even though you are there pursuing more
with your piercing eyes and beautiful
run... run...
I am not done
I am trying to get away or closer maybe just away
for a day
trying to hide
my feelings as i stumble, slip and slide
suppressing....
my feelings....
Hw much more can they take
before they break
and before they are on more
when i no longer blush as my heart begins to soar for you soar
its easier to run then to deal
easier to run farther, then face whats real

Today i tell her
I stand on the side lines as another yesterday goes by
thinking that i will tell her profess my love today and fly in the sky
I shout to the heavens in my solitude who i love
yet i keep this dove
dove of love in this cage and i won't let it fly
i can't let these feelings out lest she not feel the same and i die
does that i mean i don't love her enough to take the risk
someone tell me please not with a song nor a disk
tell me through a comment
i need some help if i want correct deportment
My sweet i need you and one yesterday will be the day
that you say yes or no and i say ok
but thats where my life changes one yesterday we will kiss
and the snake that devil won't be around to hiss!

Believe The Hype
Often I find myself saying what I do not believe
The kind of words that hang in the air, they do not leave
I say things until they sound true
Until I have the guts to see them through
When I say I will do, it means I can't do
Not yet, I need to ready my heart for them too
Although it is mere hype
Empty words, I still find them necessary to psyche
Myself out so that I can do what I long and fear
To do, I speak of going somewhere else, because I don't like here
But it is not others whom I say this for I need to hear
I need to hear it
It may sound empty now, but you best
Believe this hype, for me it is a test
For my soul and I am a man of my word
Even if for now it is just hype, just some hype you've heard

Rawr
rawr means im in a fight
rawr means ive stopped my flight
rawr means im not sure whats right
who do i fight when i yell rawr
its me.....under your star
if you still care....
if you dare to understand
rawr means i fight me
fight me to the death do it so willingly!
black and blue as i continue to fight myself
its been months of war
war of the mind war of the body war of the soul i am now something to abhor!
rawr....i feel like im losing.... i mean look at me im writing poetry

rawr rawr i will fight until, ive rust
gone and died one side
will win this not a chide!
this is war i must fight myself i cannot condone this
rawr RAWR RAWR! ! ! ! ! !

The Chronicles of A Dark Heart Part 22 The Death Of Feelings
Numb
Is something quite dumb
Something I don't want
Something that will haunt
Mind and soul
And wear out the sole
Of life
Such a run
How fun
Fey imbroglio
Never again shall I grow
With alacrity nor joy
I will just sit there, remembering how I'm senseless and used like a toy
I can feel life begin again in vain,
I'll ruin it the same way with a different girl, go through the same pain
For making my heart numb is the only way i know to retain
Some sanity
For you and for me
As i chronicles this endeavor
That is life amidst my dark heart

The Chronicles of a Criss Crossed and Broken Heart part 1 The Beginning
It started.... long ago with one time
before i was skilled in writing, poetry, and rhyme
before pain
was real, before life began to ever think of the possibility it could begin to wain
before advanced darkness
before i even thought to caress
anyone anywhere
before i... i did dare
to love before i began to care
about girls they were... just friends nothing more existed... just right
before i had love at first sight
when i still could stand upright
when i was not blinded by love when i could see!
when i was just kid just a young little youth
before i became like someone else
a stranger to myself
that goes back year after year
but if i got that far and don't stay here
how could i wrte this or anything else.

Adversity
Sometimes it's the trial that makes us grow
The hard times when I really know
It's when time keeps us apart
That I know I'm in your heart
Every time we don't talk for awhile
I have the biggest smile
Because talking again is the sweetest relief
My consolation before He returns like a thief
It's when our relationship whatever it may be
Is tested by time and distance... that's when it's real to me
The longer we're apart the more I want you
The farther we're apart the more I feel you
I'm not sure if this is love, but I know no other
Not sure if this is love or just a cover
But when adversity attacks- that's when my love grows strong
That's when I know this will last long
Adversity makes our love, last a lifetime.

50 Times
5o times i have wailed
as if i have been impaled
now i can see
that its really me
lying on a stick and rope yet this is just a dream a horrid one dang you rope
dirty and devoid of hope
dead with festering wounds and cut
caught in a blood soiled rut
a trench i dug for myself now i lie in it myself
and the trap i laid and put my heart out to shrivel on shelf i now lie in both
o the fey imbroglio namely life so fey
forgive me if i inveigh
in verse and rhyme
but i do such things all the time
more then the fifty deaths imparted unto to me
yes seven, some deaths i accepted happily...
(God saved me from this rut and this living torture and i no longer die a single death nor did i ever actually died i fooled myself)
