I'm odd because I can't even.
I wanna witness... The energetic synergy within the city limits Pulsing with adrenaline as yesmen do business With mysterious gentlemen in worn and weathered tenements Indifferent of the minutemen surrounding the premises. A genesis and exodus of textbook corruption Eruptions of Congressmen abruptly interrupting The voice of the denizens; citizens distrusting The integrity of every legislation made in history And the mystery surrounding all those slimy politicians Discussing their envisionments and policies like madmen Disgusting in their ways, protecting church and state, In the government we pray: Amen.

I Wanna Witness...
I'm sorry, my dear. I try not to miss you, but it's hard. I feel discarded even though that wasn't the case. You ended our partnership by completely justifiable terms, And you are the most wonderful person I could've met, But I can't move on even though you felt I'd be happier doing so, Instead of waiting for you to readjust your life When the truth is I'd be happier waiting. I'm sorry, my dear. I'd like to apologize; you're still on my mind nearly every hour. You're an intruder of my thoughts, but welcome in my arms. You sit in silence in my subconscious, As it yells to you to answer, to assure me that you still love me. And it drives me insane, because I know you still do. What I don't know is if you still want me or not, But I know that I want you way too much. I'm sorry, my dear. I don't know where to go from here. I'm not sure if I should fight for you, or if I should go completely. I'm leaning towards a compromise to be casual with you, But I'm unsure if that would do me more harm than good. I never understood what bitterness and jealousy was Until I loved you, and I found myself finding other men vile Merely for sharing a common passion: you. I'm sorry, my dear. I should leave well enough alone. Perhaps it is better for us to be apart, But I just don't see it yet. But all I can see in the future is you or a void of confusion and emptiness, So you can see why I'm having such a hard time picking the latter. I know I should live in the moment and not the past. But the past was the happiest time of my life. I'm sorry, my dear. I wish I could make you understand.

Flashback to a few months ago, When the apple of my eye began to cry About how I never tried to make a move with her And why I couldn't break out of the prison of my paranoia-ridden mind But she still supported me thoroughly through and through So, to repay her for her thoughtful kindness I finally made my move. My heart raced and kept pace with my purest of emotions Time slowed from seconds to minutes My movement became ever so minute As I leaned closer and closer I felt an attraction Almost magnetic And I couldn't pull away from her lips It was magical Disaster averted, no tragedy Had taken advantage of me that day

My First Kiss
From the time When I first met you online It gave me butterflies; anxiety To think of when I'd meet you in real life And when I did, it made me happy Just to know that you would love me And in this song, I'll say the same My heart is warm I hope it never ends And I'm glad to have you As my best friend You're lovable In every single way And if we're far apart I'll find a way to stay By your side Close your eyes Just take a second of your time To think back to when we met We didn't know how far we'd come But here we are right now And to think, what we have been through I'd prefer to say I love you But I think *there's so much more* to say My heart is warm I hope it never ends And I'm glad to have you As my best friend You're lovable In every single way And if we're far apart I'll find a way to stay By your side

By Your Side
I feel trapped in this world, with no way to escape I tap upon the glass of my subconscious mind But they echo no more from my room of confinement And instead they vanish. **** and leave me behind I've thought this over thoroughly but never had the gall To step down to that crooked slab of asphalt underneath Instead, these thoughts, they bounce around and cause a chain reaction That exposes daily reasoning as a sword without its sheath The sheath; a sense of normalcy, not elsewhere to be found Overcome by spikes in temper, putting ties in danger Of whom I love and whom I ultimately care about Suddenly and unbeknownst to me, becoming strangers Depression dulls the blade's sharp edge Where confidence had once been rested Anxiety loosens the hilt with doubt Rendering potential nigh ineffective Hatred of person in all past events Where regret is an outlying feature of memory Hesitance an outlying feature of future And behind is left a feeling of agony To top it all off, there's the constant harassment Where progress in peace achieved is a minimal Where the freedom of speech is abused as a right By these sadists of mankind, true message subliminal *Sticks and stones may break my bones But words will never hurt me* Was the biggest lie ever told to children As they cut deep psychologically But no matter how down in the dumps I become I never give up and I strive for the best So when I finally get to stare Death in the face I can welcome him warmly with a gentle caress

I oftentimes realize my inability To speak outright about my personality I oftentimes don't know where to start Which leads to a brain **** Of catastrophic proportions And unable to contort my words into sentences I simply give up, the subject unfinished Because of this tragic disability in my speech I feel that my way of expression is weak And the many things I want to say About anything in general comes back to stay In my mind, in my brain, in my train of thought And entails to derail from the tracks The entrails staining the grass But when I get behind a keyboard My ideas become fluently versed Almost rehearsed And I search for a chat That'll cover a vat Of subjects at the bat The words flow from my brain Through my veins To my heart To my arms And out of my fingers and onto the screen Where, for once, I can clearly read What I wanted to say And smile with glee As I finally make My testimony

Stuttering
Love is not a contest It's unlike any congress In which both parties throw in their two cents To dismiss a common nuisance Of who loves who more or even less Love should be of equal parties A bond so resilient, bright, and hearty One body halved and separated Leaving two figures devastated Until they find each other's heartbeats Love should never be about triumphing It's about two souls intertwining It's about sharing each others toils In hopes to knot their mortal coils And to be blessed by fate and timing In short, love is too sacred and fragile a view To argue about who loves who more: me or you.

Love is Not a Contest
There's both pros and cons to being a boy with a heart of gold. You see, gold is a malleable material; it's easy to mold. I'd give anything, everything just for somebody to love, So I roll the dice; compromise. I guess that isn't enough. So when the love of my life rears her ugly head, and I'd rather be dead instead of single. I made the best of a bad situation but I never saw the worst in people. There's both pros and cons to being a boy with a mind of stone. You see, it's easy to shut out the world, but I feel so alone. I'd do anything, anything, just for somebody who cares. I can't point the blame, what a shame. I guess that it's only fair. So when a new opportunity comes around the corner, I'm unfortunately not able to mingle, 'Cause I make the worst of the best situations, and I never seem to take to the best of people. But there's no pros, only cons, for being afraid to love, 'Cause you'll sit back and cherish those moments from Heavens above. And there's no pros, only cons, to shutting out those who care. 'Cause maybe you'll realize that life wasn't being unfair. There's no pros, only cons when you don't know the pros, So you think that they're gone, but no one can know. I hope you can see how I stay optimistic. Just take it from me: The hopeless romantic. So when the love of my life turns her pretty face, and she smiles so gracefully walking down the steeple. I'll make the most of what life has to offer, when I finally meet the best of people.
