Try 2 (Plus & Minus)
Implant a positive thought
dive, worth a shot, try
way of the will
a will, a way, sacrifice, endure pain
if to gain, heartaches rivers
through the storm to obtain
experience, knowledge
mistakes, lessons
steps back, steps forward
listen, observe
follow, lead
knowledge is the key
the mind is the door way
to know, to learn, one must try
open the mind
allow more then positives to sink in
life's lessons derive
from hardships and mistakes

It Is Eye
Escape, to finally escape
To evade or find the strength to make a change
A destiny, this faith, my fate
Stray from a dark cloud
To create foot prints on the road less travelled
There's no one quite like i
am only yet plenty
the many look in the eye
doubts, lies share crocodile tear smile
goodbye through hi
abide by an existence of the norm
sheepish. Relinquish that of which is not I
I, a stand out, not of protocol
alien within the norm
outcast, out-cast
so do I out shine beyond cameras flashing lights
lit up the night sky did I
a beacon of one's own hope
a leader of one's self

Fake Laughs
I've done a lot of good
helped out when I could
treated all individuals as equals
well I try,
still doesn't outweigh the bad
the hearts I've broken
the tears I've caused
the words I never spoke of, yet hoping
one would read my thoughts
to search as I'm lost
My sins haunt
only a shadow of mine
walks aside a grey line
beyond forgiveness
incarcerated beside fake relations
causing all that is and was
real to deplete, replaced
by all that is fake

River
River runs red
eyes see through
a candlelight view
mind to the ledge
The lips speaks with contradictions
the eyes don't lie so I converse with her
she shuts me out, word of mouth
they follow faceless devils
she opens up and the truth is shown
Faceless evil
crowded judgments
silence lethal
Full moon transformation
cry wolf
midnight whispers words of uncertainty
Clouds of disturbance

Friends, Love, Life
In all honesty, you are beautiful
Despite the backlash
Between the mind and that beating drum
Slipped, tripped, fell in
That four letter word
Caved in,
A world of a word which I don't understand
A dramatic change of feelings
Agonizing pain of lovely memories
A friendship changed,
Through the cause of one word
Between two others
To say she's beautiful
Is an understatement
She's beyond a bond
My life's blood
Resonates through her veins
The combination of hers and mine
One, breath of her breath

Do You See Me
Look in my eyes
can you feel the pain that I feel
so many times that I've cried
but can you see, or is it invisible tears i share
as you sleep safe and sound
can you hear my heart beat
fading as I scream out your name
could you be the reason for my pain
or am I the reason for my own
why is it so much easier to put the blame
rather than deal with the shame
forcing a smile, to take the focus off my eyes
you may never know how I truly feel
I wear a mask, as I play a part
yes I've got the world fooled
you may never see the tears that I share
a lonely heart, all smiles, no frowns
my pain is for my eyes only
so only I know, only I will bare.

Lie, Love Me
If I fall, will you catch me?
If I were to drown, will you
dive in after me?
Cpr, will you give me the kiss of life?
What about a tear drop, will you share a few
if I didn't make it?
Could you not lie to me or hurt me,
if I asked to you to tell me the truth?
Could you love me even though you don't
Could you, without false advertising?
A lie in a love, a love in a lie
kill me softly with a gentle lies kiss
lay me on a bed of bricks
long as you lie with me
you could lie to me, blind me
hurt me, back stab, emotionally scar me
long as you tell me you love me,
even if you don't
lie to me to sleeps comfort bed

Vow 2 (Right Words)
I've always been able to
now I don't even know what to do
it's never been a problem before
I've always been able to write about it
talk about it, now that it hit me
I'm somewhat speechless
I put pad to pen, nothing
an empty space on a white page
shouldn't this just write itself?
not a word or a single letter
I know it hit me, I feel it
it hurts yet I like it,
I smile at the sight of it
I've spent days and still on a blank page
it's stupid to say, but I give up
a pen is in rage to silence
to express this, these feelings
no words could describe
nor will I try
the only thing I can say for certain

Adieu
Beauty of a goddess
you truly are
I have searched far and wide
to be by your side
but i do apologize as I take my leave
in my eyes you are the most Beautiful
I would go above and beyond
just to see you happy
unfortunately I can't be what you need
not until I can overcome my demons
if I stay, you'll get hurt
if I don't you'll get hurt
I'd rather you get mad now
then hate me later
as although it hurts now
it would murder me if i was the cause
of the disappearance of your smile
hopefully our paths will cross one day
it may not seem clear right now
but what I'm about to do, I do for you

A Gentle Hour's Nightmare
As I lay my head,
to sleeps comfort bed
The light bringer visits
A gentle hour's nightmare
Beautiful, Friday the thirteenth
Only in my dreams
Nightmare or reality?
Feeling like a night on Elms Street,
Eyes open yet no signs waking up
Clock stops
Noisy sounds, silent
Pins dropping,3am
The numbers triple six pop
Crowded figures suddenly appear
One in particular follows,
Like a shadow of mine
Every step mimicked
Movement to movement,
