Yes you heard me I hated this toy I hated it with a passion That was fastened To my chest with seat belts And burned onto my heart With a hot branding iron This toy was a teddy bear One of teddy roosevelt's passions With a patent owned by a name I'll never know Given to kids who are just beginning to grow So that they have something to talk to To let everything flow My brother named him sgt.grizzly And he was always busy Telling this little teddy The secrets of his life I kid you not He told this bear his world He entrusted and unfurled Everything to this inanimate Object that couldn't even answer back By now you're trying to figure out Exactly why I hate a thing That I don't even own Well when that thing sits on the throne Of a brother you wish you'd known you'll Understand Because everytime my brother and I fought He brought up this stupid teddy bear And how it did things I did not How it listened to him And didn't try to advise him and it sickened me What disgusted me more than this Was the fact that he told a toy More about himself Than I will ever know in a lifetime He told it secrets I've been trying to learn Since the beginning of his time He gave that toy more of his heart Than I have ever seen in him within the 13 yrs I've spent with him And while he threw at me nothing but ****** and pins He gave this toy an inside look on his many opinions And while he tested me constantly He gave his stupid teddy A degree in justinology The study of my brother a study in which I wish I wasn't struggling While my brother threw me worksheets Sgt grizzly got a free pass Even though he did nothing in class Justin let him pass With an A While I struggled to hold a D While i fought hard He handed grizzly a security card And as far as I was concerned All he ever did was put me on blast I'll admit it I was actually a little jealous I still am at times That a stupid toy Managed to know more about a boy Who I spent majority of my life living with than me And honestly it was insulting Everytime grizzly got lost I was the first to blame Just because I was cursing and speaking negatively whenever I spoke that dreaded name Honestly I have never before admitted This to anyone After all being mad at a toy Isn't the best way for a teenage boy To be seen but oh boy I’ve lost the will to keep this in So I'm simply going to sit down And write about the hate I have For this little stupid toy

The only toy I've ever hated
Yes you heard me I hated this toy I hated it with a passion That was fastened To my chest with seat belts And burned onto my heart With a hot branding iron This toy was a teddy bear One of teddy roosevelt's passions With a patent owned by a name I'll never know Given to kids who are just beginning to grow So that they have something to talk to To let everything flow My brother named him sgt.grizzly And he was always busy Telling this little teddy The secrets of his life I kid you not He told this bear his world He entrusted and unfurled Everything to this inanimate Object that couldn't even answer back By now you're trying to figure out Exactly why I hate a thing That I don't even own Well when that thing sits on the throne Of a brother you wish you'd known you'll Understand Because everytime my brother and I fought He brought up this stupid teddy bear And how it did things I did not How it listened to him And didn't try to advise him and it sickened me What disgusted me more than this Was the fact that he told a toy More about himself Than I will ever know in a lifetime He told it secrets I've been trying to learn Since the beginning of his time He gave that toy more of his heart Than I have ever seen in him within the 13 yrs I've spent with him And while he threw at me nothing but ****** and pins He gave this toy an inside look on his many opinions And while he tested me constantly He gave his stupid teddy A degree in justinology The study of my brother a study in which I wish I wasn't struggling While my brother threw me worksheets Sgt grizzly got a free pass Even though he did nothing in class Justin let him pass With an A While I struggled to hold a D While i fought hard He handed grizzly a security card And as far as I was concerned All he ever did was put me on blast I'll admit it I was actually a little jealous I still am at times That a stupid toy Managed to know more about a boy Who I spent majority of my life living with than me And honestly it was insulting Everytime grizzly got lost I was the first to blame Just because I was cursing and speaking negatively whenever I spoke that dreaded name Honestly I have never before admitted This to anyone After all being mad at a toy Isn't the best way for a teenage boy To be seen but oh boy I’ve lost the will to keep this in So I'm simply going to sit down And write about the hate I have For this little stupid toy

Where there was once peace Now there is malice Where there was once calm Now there is only reason to form a fist Instead of extending my palm I have tried so hard to sit and let it pass To watch and to wait like the ghost of Christmas past But slowly it seems in my waiting the situation only gets worse And I'm coming to believe that this straw I've reached is my last I cannot seem to keep peace in my own room The specific portion of my home where me, myself and I were able to coexist And that was good enough I now have to add a fourth person to that list That despite my efforts to believe he does what he does out of love, all I ever see is him doing things for his personal benefit No eye has seen and no ear has heard The sheer suffering I have lived with since his arrival, seeing as for the most part I have kept it a secret from the rest of the herd I was always taught that you can't wait for the world to solve your problems so I didn't, I took angers bait Because I tried so hard to shake away the pain In every other way that would keep the rest of the herd unaware Compromise never seemed to suffice I gave him an inch and he took a thousand miles Talking never worked, reason never worked It seemed talking to the heard never worked Everything I tried didn't work so I gave him his inch But that wasn't enough, so he took a yard And I said I can live with it Then he took another yard And I ****** it up and dealt with it Then he took a mile and though it shook me I tried to just live with it Because in my mind There was and is nothing I could do To end his advance or at least ease the pain Because everything I tried ended up amounting to cow poo So I'd **** it up And try to live with it But the more I ****** it up The more he'd push buttons and ask for it The more rope I gave him The more he demanded of it And the little I did to push him back Only strengthened his resolve to go for it I would put my foot down and he'd tear that down And I would just take it And turn my situational frown Upside down Because in my mind, it would all be over soon, and things would calm down But then a month passed And then another, and another And slowly my dealings with my brother Got worse and worse Ad he collected more and more dirt To throw on my head And when I ask why he kept on his advances He replied you have your strength now I want and advantage And when I handed him compromises what I got from him was something that in my brain sounded like this I will settle for nothing less Then your complete and utter obedience Because no matter what you did for me In times past I will never accept it when you say you love me so your useless I will treat you like you're worthless Because that's how you treat me Because the amount of good you do for me Will never compare to the bad things I will not even consider your good works Or your peaceful intentions I want you to hurt like I hurt And feel my pain which was your creation You are the architect of my suffering So now I shall the be the devil that makes yours Because it's only ever fair when I win If I don't win the whole systems rigged And instead of solving my own problems I'll enslave you, make you fix in And then call you worthless in the process Yes, I'm supposed to believe this is false And it's true when they come I am told to banish these thoughts Because I'm supposed to believe he does these things out of love But there is no love in being treated like a slave I've fought for him more than I've fought against him Burned my pockets to save him and never used a cent to hurt him I've have tried to be a bridge before a hindrance Tried hard to build his character and confidence Tried to advise him that he doesn't fall into the hole I once did and yet every time we fight all he ever says to me Is I hate you I can't stand the sight of you And you're human yes it's true But no man can fail the way you do You never do enough You'll never be enough You're a failure and you **** To everything you build I say ewww yuck And no matter what you do for me You'll never do enough to please me Because you're a worthless slave whose Only real place is in miseries cave I want the absolute worst for you And I wish you the worst of luck in the dreams you wish to pursue Support I will not give to you Love I will not show you And when you die and no one mourns you I won't even give you the honor of going to your funeral This is what I hear every day and night Evil glares and constant dares to bring on my doom Millions of attempts to put me in my doom This is all I hear Caged In my own room

Where there was once peace Now there is malice Where there was once calm Now there is only reason to form a fist Instead of extending my palm I have tried so hard to sit and let it pass To watch and to wait like the ghost of Christmas past But slowly it seems in my waiting the situation only gets worse And I'm coming to believe that this straw I've reached is my last I cannot seem to keep peace in my own room The specific portion of my home where me, myself and I were able to coexist And that was good enough I now have to add a fourth person to that list That despite my efforts to believe he does what he does out of love, all I ever see is him doing things for his personal benefit No eye has seen and no ear has heard The sheer suffering I have lived with since his arrival, seeing as for the most part I have kept it a secret from the rest of the herd I was always taught that you can't wait for the world to solve your problems so I didn't, I took angers bait Because I tried so hard to shake away the pain In every other way that would keep the rest of the herd unaware Compromise never seemed to suffice I gave him an inch and he took a thousand miles Talking never worked, reason never worked It seemed talking to the heard never worked Everything I tried didn't work so I gave him his inch But that wasn't enough, so he took a yard And I said I can live with it Then he took another yard And I ****** it up and dealt with it Then he took a mile and though it shook me I tried to just live with it Because in my mind There was and is nothing I could do To end his advance or at least ease the pain Because everything I tried ended up amounting to cow poo So I'd **** it up And try to live with it But the more I ****** it up The more he'd push buttons and ask for it The more rope I gave him The more he demanded of it And the little I did to push him back Only strengthened his resolve to go for it I would put my foot down and he'd tear that down And I would just take it And turn my situational frown Upside down Because in my mind, it would all be over soon, and things would calm down But then a month passed And then another, and another And slowly my dealings with my brother Got worse and worse Ad he collected more and more dirt To throw on my head And when I ask why he kept on his advances He replied you have your strength now I want and advantage And when I handed him compromises what I got from him was something that in my brain sounded like this I will settle for nothing less Then your complete and utter obedience Because no matter what you did for me In times past I will never accept it when you say you love me so your useless I will treat you like you're worthless Because that's how you treat me Because the amount of good you do for me Will never compare to the bad things I will not even consider your good works Or your peaceful intentions I want you to hurt like I hurt And feel my pain which was your creation You are the architect of my suffering So now I shall the be the devil that makes yours Because it's only ever fair when I win If I don't win the whole systems rigged And instead of solving my own problems I'll enslave you, make you fix in And then call you worthless in the process Yes, I'm supposed to believe this is false And it's true when they come I am told to banish these thoughts Because I'm supposed to believe he does these things out of love But there is no love in being treated like a slave I've fought for him more than I've fought against him Burned my pockets to save him and never used a cent to hurt him I've have tried to be a bridge before a hindrance Tried hard to build his character and confidence Tried to advise him that he doesn't fall into the hole I once did and yet every time we fight all he ever says to me Is I hate you I can't stand the sight of you And you're human yes it's true But no man can fail the way you do You never do enough You'll never be enough You're a failure and you **** To everything you build I say ewww yuck And no matter what you do for me You'll never do enough to please me Because you're a worthless slave whose Only real place is in miseries cave I want the absolute worst for you And I wish you the worst of luck in the dreams you wish to pursue Support I will not give to you Love I will not show you And when you die and no one mourns you I won't even give you the honor of going to your funeral This is what I hear every day and night Evil glares and constant dares to bring on my doom Millions of attempts to put me in my doom This is all I hear Caged In my own room

An alarm sounds, to get you out of bed Though you want to sleep more instead Then you remember this is it the last day And that sparks a change in your head You get up you get dressed Some put on their best But you could honestly care less If you looked like the rest because there soon Shall be no more tests Yes my friends, it's the last day of school You've made your memories You've shared your testimonies And proved that in the end you rule You get on a bus one last time Or get in a car you've just bought And take the last drive there Maybe for the last time in your lifetime You get to those double doors The ones you walked through every day Pushing other kids out of your way Because you had to get to class To finally finish the movie you were watching wasn't it episode 4 of star wars An hour or so later a bell tolls You and your friends go to the commons To pull a last minute prank on those poor souls Filling the whole school with toilet rolls We exchange little memories Which we keep in the treasuries Of our hearts because truly How can we forget this year's novelties The principal gives his kids a final goodbye And we begin to scream and cry For some of those kids this is the last bye They'll ever say so they say it with a bittersweet sigh We stand together one last time Like the spartan 300 at wartime Like family in springtime Preparing for what is to be the summertime The last bell tolls and the fat lady sings Her last song all the bittersweet joy it brings Because despite all the big exams and things We're still gonna miss this place Though the door still swings Bye bye old year, hello summertime Until next year's gloom Sunshine and rainbows Until school once again takes our down time

Patience, the mother of wisdom The bricks of a kingdom She and revenge work in tandem For only patient silence beckons revenge to come Patient men, some call them spies Many refer to them as watchful eyes Keeping record of the times And reading between the lines The thing about a patient man is He waits, and as he waits he watches As he watches and he learns And he keeps record of what he learns The thing about a patient man who learns Is that you never know what they know Can't comprehend the possibility of them Knowing all the wrong you've done though It's quite possible they know and will show Show whom you ask Well the world, unless you do their task For you see you can't stop the patient man from finding your well hidden plan Because in the end you're sloppy past Will always reveal itself to the patient man The patient man, knowing what he knows Could potentially rule the world if he chose Because with the right ammunition he could make his foes Comply to his wishes despite their moans and groans For if that patient mans foes don’t foes comply They may surely die For not only their sins, but also their lies For your sins will be revealed eventually, though hide them you may try Truth be told of the patient man He is not a perfect man And must in the end stand Trial for the sins he planned For a planned sin is still a sin For one to come up with the very notion To break the law and commit treason Can take some things from you in the final destination And so people of the earth be mindful For the patient man learns a handful From those who plan and spill a mouthful In the wrong place, us patient men see you as a fool To expose your sins to the very people Who could use it to stifle Any resistance to whatever rule They impose, or rat you out just because they are cruel For patients is the mother of wisdom And though the queen of boredom Births revenge in her womb And leads her enemies to their doom

What is desperation A hunger, a longing A need for a new beginning A call for reconciliation Is it the worst thing in life Well that depends on your said desperation Is it a desperation to hold a loving hand Or is it a desperation to use a deadly knife Is it to love or to hate To equalize or discriminate To live life or to test fate To throw away, or appreciate Some desperations lead to good things Others reap the seeds of death Be careful of your desperations For they determine life's blessings

Desperation
Is it worth it, a question many ask me Is it worth living, worth fighting Worth trying, because we're all dying Is it worth being who you were born to be When the world hates you No one cares about you When you're alone and scared And no one's there to help you through The answer is yes Why is that you may wonder With all of this weight on your shoulders Think for a moment take a guess If you don't figure it out The reason you stand up Is because you are meant to rise up You're blessings so many none can count If you die, you give all of that up Is it worth losing the chance to be More than what the world see’s To end the hurt that fills your cup You are worth so much more Than this world will ever know And your testimony will help another grow Will you stunt them because you're sore You hold hearts in your hand People with dreams to be great Are you willing to hurt them Just because you fell in the sand Is it worth it, to hurt anyone who cares About whether you live or die Who are connected to you soul and mind To do what will bring them tears If you say yes, then you're selfish After all that's what suicide is An act of selfishness Is that your obsession, your fetish If you say no, then it's worth living It's worth trying, it's worth fighting It's worth staying on earth But most of all, it's worth giving All I ask that you try it Think of your future rather than your test Know that you're a cut above the rest Most of all, know that you are worth it

Why is it that you pick up your book and read That's what a young woman once asked me What is so good, so perfect, about that book Why does it put in you such an aching need My answer was as simple as this My fair lady, there are many reasons Why I read as much as I do Partly I read because books bring bliss I also read to gain knowledge Whether it be about myths or about sickness About the unusual nature of man Or simply reading up on my future college I read to gain wisdom Whether I learn about love Or how light beats darkness Or simply how to rule my kingdom I read because it makes me human It helps me understand emotion It even makes me feel them I learn how to use my gifts, however superhuman I read because it gives me hope That love can last forever, that I can overcome That life isn't hopeless, that all problems Have a solution, no matter their scope That light beats darkness, that we are givers That test become testimonies, that I'm invincible That men become legends, who fight like Spartans That scars become blessings, that flow like rivers That we can rival titans, beat sickness, find love **** demons, destroy dementors, beat sickness Protect humanity, transcend reality, run freely Escape captivity and tyranny, this we rise above Where one says books are an escape from reality A thing to run to when you're down and lonely i believe that it's not an escape from real life It's a guide to a better life, someone gave to me So if you have a question about why I read Here is my answer to you my friend I read to overcome the trials in my life I read so that I know how to lead

Full of ups and downs Filthy roads turn coats Broken dreams still trying to float And dark plots with scary sounds With all of that life is still worth living Your faith is still worth keeping Your life is still worth saving Your light is still worth freely giving Now you may be wondering Why I say what I, do what I do Believe these things to be true That life with all it's quirks, is worth living The answer is as simple as this Your life has just as many good moments As it has scary thoughts and bad omens And in the end, your trials give you bliss Test are in life to give you strength In the end you grow, your soul shines You begin to see light in darkness And, you make a legacy of infinite length You have to understand that life Is full of moments where your faith Is tested by the world's wraiths Who are put there to give us infinite strife Its full of imperfection, and quirks But it also has something called friendship It has family and it has relationship Knowing this, you can laugh at earth's jerks One more thing you must remember when Life knocks you down to the floor When troubles break you down to your core When people's imperfection burns your skin For every bit of darkness, there is a light For every broken dream, one stands For every loner, a man waits with open hands In wrong, someone wants to help make it right

Life
What is idiocracy The endless mediocrity The infinite stupidity Or the hatred of the minority It's been said that the majority Of the human race is filled Matter fact built in the hands Of complete and utter idiocracy Whether it be one's self adoration Or our unusual alcoholic addiction It could be our misplaced affection For hateful racism and segregation Why is it that we fools Constantly break the rules We set in order to protect our jewels Eliminate wars blood filled pools We work so hard to find A way around the quote blind Ideology of being a kind Human being, this truth you bind What ever happened to equality The value of humanity Being able to find much beauty In the world despite its pure insanity
