American Nothing really special, I tried writting some poetry during the summer cause I was bored.
It seems numerous. Immeasurable in nature I want so many things I want to be able to sing I want a fling. But right now.... I want to feel a sting. The painful bitter sting of tears Cutting through my eyes Like watching a love one die. I want those hell hot tears that scorch my skin I want those tears that feel like broken glass Cause they are more to me, What you see as water, I see as blood The blood that flows from my eyes, like that of bullet wounds. For that's the pain that my actions have caused. I want to let them loose like a dam on the Victoria falls To break, just for a moment, and let this torrent of emotion to splash against the earth I want to tear the skin from this facade I present To take away the superficial glamor that I use to dazzle friends I want to show the confused mess that I am. I want to show what I am adamant on hiding. I want to show that I am just another piece of **** modeled after what is great in this world If anything, I want to dwell in my own self pity, at least for a moment. But above this, I want to you to see, That your words and feelings affect me woefully and that ultimately My one and only want... Is for you to not hate me.

I want...
First the impact The shock and pain Of the words I can deal with But from these bullet like words A dull ache creeps out Creeping out from my wounded body This ache slowly inches along my frame I feel it corrupting my core. My bones dense with pain My soul clouded by its mask I feel it swell inside of me. It builds up until I feel it in my skin The transformation is complete My being is now of pain, My only feeling is of dull ache My thoughts are this hurt I will have to wait it out I know sometime soon Life’s joys will purge my soul

Words like Bullets
Where am I Where has my world gone? I am left here in the dark A dark with no dawn I am wandering about Without a clue to where I am filled with doubt And yet I dare I dare to dream I dare to walk I dare to find To find the light Will make life shine Never stop the fight Till the light is mine

Looking for light
I’ve been gone too long Only now do I see That everything in life Crowds around me. Where have I been? I know it now I stayed in my mind. Like a worthless cow. It was my castle For that I am sure. But it was a great hassle To keep it secure. ----I was asleep What did I do there? I walked… I walked day by day Till my world turned grey. I stayed in that castle. Protected by my walls. I walked for hours In the countless halls. ----I dreamt Am I still there? I’ve out grown it now. As it is plain to see. Life’s great joys Came to rescue me. The confides of that castle No longer apply I am now life’s great vassal I can now say, Goodbye Goodbye my castle. I have finally changed And with you here Things remain strange. ----I live, thus I change How do I feel now? I feel free I feel for the first time That I can see. But my eyes are not needed. My mind sees the truth. Eyes show us nothing Minds show us proof. My mind shows me things Things that my eyes miss. My mind gives it meaning My eyes just list. Now that I am free. And my mind seems to wander. Past the simple things That I used to ponder No longer am I halted No longer am I slowed. Now my mind transcends Past the unknown It has given me ideas Ideas so old and wise Ideas of those… Who have no eyes. This is how I do decree That I will live my life Till life leaves me. ----I am enlightened

Asleep
How can I describe this feeling? It is me that you’re stealing. Who I worked to be Has gone and left me I’m left with something strange As if it is me who is deranged. This is all new to me It is not as it ought to be. Why do I feel this way? I don’t know what to say I’m lost I’m scared I’m unprepared. This thing that is left disgusts myself I am left here feeling in bad health. All I do is sit and stare And contemplate how life is unfair. Why do I feel this way? I don’t know what to say I feel trapped I have been snapped. All hope I had has been thrashed. The things I have done And all things I found fun They have all left me It is painful to truly see That this feeling will stay. All depending on a day For this was just one. Just one day One day that had been torn away. It has stripped me of almost all To the point that I might fall But as long as you stay this way They will become a regular day. But still I must say They have They did They will Make me feel this way And through it all At the end of the day I still don’t know what to say.

Don't know what to say
It this moment This quick started Long lasting moment I remember where I am I remember who you are I am at home But what home is this I am afraid and angry everyday It’s rare, if ever I enjoy your stays I try to believe That you are well Yet someday I believe I’m stuck in hell The truth is You’re not well You’re not sane In this house I can’t escape the pain It’s hard to act normal When a monster walks about It takes effort Not to scream or shout Cause that’s what this monster thrives on It’s what gives it thrill Nothing can stop it Till your hopes are killed This monster is persistent It believes it is right Maybe that’s the reason Why it never seizes to fight The fights go on and on and on Often into the night Occasionally in the dawn There is no end in sight We’ve woken to it We’ve slept to it We are living through it Sometimes we win But often it’s the other The bleeding hearts of us three brothers Are wounded by our poor other Now I write So I don’t need to fight So I can try to forgive But never shall I forget The things you do in these moments last forever Forever scarring Forever tearing Forever rending The only hearts that care I can never forget these moments Or the things you do Cause in these moments I find I hate you.

In this moment
This is my brother He’s smart, nice, and keen If art took him He’d create a pretty scene If music he did take part He’d compose to touch a heart If writing was his way at hand His works would be finer than grand But he did not choose these He chose another path One with a secret other half Now with my brother There is another This is my monster It’s mean, crass, and rude In essence one ****** dude It’ll cheat, hide, lie It has made us all cry Whenever it’s about My feelings come rushing out It makes me helpless And then mad Then guilty, and sad But when I should rest I feel is depressed. As I lay at night awake Thinking of what that thing partakes A wandering question seeps through my mind A question of the sinister kind When will this monster die? How can this come upon The two people are the same guy The monster I want gone… Is my brother when he’s high.
