American "Live. Laugh. Love. Repeat" :)
Stuck in between the lies and truth...this is where I wait for you. Life spinning uncontrollably I sink...gasping for air I fight with no clue. Things go by so fast adapting to them seems...impossible. I fight with all my might but my opponent is intangible. Left and right I look but there's no one insight I stumble as I run for I fear that there is no light. I'm plagued with these feelings of fear and doubt That I may not be the man I'm expected to be. No that can't be it, how can one expect the unexpected? How can one walk on a path knowing that is it? That this path is what they are meant to be That this path will set them free That this path will surely guide their souls and let them be Free. For what is freedom if we can not speak For what is freedom if we can not see For what is freedom if we can not feel For what is freedom if there is no Truth.

Freedom
Running through the checklist of things to do I can’t help but feel overwhelmed. A breathe of fresh air is what I crave; I’m lost for wards for what I have discovered; I tried so hard to be the role model. Venting is not enough. Engaging in this forbidden dance was something I couldn’t see you doing till you were older. No were to go, no were to hide; Even though I hold you so dear to my heart this action has ripped the death grip I had. Loneliness became a friend; Lingering is nothing but the old memories of what was the good you and now I just see hypocrisy. It drew me in ever so close. Stupid: how could you be so stupid? All these lessons I tried teaching you for nothing! My heart was so big; It’s like I’ve wasted part of my life on you and I can never get it back, I struggle with this. Chanting in the name of love. How can I accept you when the feelings I have are twisted just like your words to me? Aroused by the thought of being loved; Ever mess up you were there to make me regret it, yet your actions are exactly the opposite of your words. Love never felt so cold. Staring into your eyes make me hate you; I resent the connection we have, but I can’t let go. Imagining there’s light at the end; Severing the ties is not enough to make me forget you; our bond is too strong to do that. This pain is too much. Every memory of you is forever engraved on my heart, but I don’t want them just a new heart. Rest in peace; Awaiting for a new start seems impossible after everything you have put us through. Never again will I fall. Drowning us with your overdramatic way has forced us to grow up faster then before. But I hold on to hope; Running away from everything is your downfall; you call me immature but really you’re looking in a mirror. Over the times of deceit. The mirror you fail to look at because you’re too afraid to see yourself for yourself. Holding on to whats left; Examine what your actions have brought onto us but too afraid to accept the consequences. Running of empty words. Now look at this situation we’re in and tell me that you are being mature about it when all you do is run. Outsmarting the twisted thoughts; Must you go on living this way I do not want any part of me to be involved with you. Outwitting the tricky games; Really look deep in your heart and feel the pain I feel and then walk a mile in my shoes and you’ll see. Ending the lies, hurt, and struggle with just one breathe...

Just One Breathe

Would you share a moment with me, over some herbal tea? Take a walk verbally, make a bond certainly cause’ in my hand I bet your hand would fit perfectly. Its like we floatin in space when you flirtin with me, can’t believe the moments we have, don’t wanna move to quick, but honey without you I’d be sick. I’m saying this from the heart best believe it from the start, with you in mah life, I wanna make you mah wife. Don’t think just react it makes it easier in fact, you look better with no make up on I hope you don’t take it wrong. When the sun sets upon your eyes, your beauty becomes disguised hidden in between the feelings of lust and love, I can fall for you with just one shove. Getting swallowed in the waves of commotions I can’t help to feel these emotions, I get lost for for words tryin to describe your curves. Not in a sleezy way because I like how gentleman play, not in such a style to drive these ladies wild, but with such manner and bliss he plants one kiss. Upon the lips of beautiful lady who isn’t so shady, upon the woman with class which any man shouldn’t pass, upon the one with the big dreams which have no seems. With just one kiss he knows he can’t miss, the love of his life that will soon be his wife.

Certainly Thee Most Perfectly
This is the one and only time where Im gonna bust a rhyme, about things that make me smile so you might be here for awhile. This might be lame, but soon I will reveal the one to blame. One thing that brings out these pearly whites, are seeing you in those tights. This isn't for anyone particular, so don't think of some one familiar. Bright colors never seem to fail to put my smile on trial, but just because I like bright colors doesn't mean i'm gay so that thought can hit the hay. Music makes the world go round and round, but music keeps me strapped to the ground. Girls seem to drive my heart into a frenzy, but real women tend to make this heart stir crazy. I might write more stuff like this later so for now you can be a hater. Just writing some things down that make me smile, but next time would you join me for awhile?

Few Things That Make Me Smile :)
Time and time again he fails to please you You tell yourself not again but again seems to happen Why must you go back? Is it his smile? Charm? Looks? Personality? I don't see what you see in him All is see is lies cheats and games Am I too blind to see You come to me for advice an it pains me to see you like this I try hard not to give you a biased reply but how can't I when I see the tears But no matter what I'll be here till the end Supporting you in everything you do Here to catch you when you fall Here to wipe every tear Here for ever fear Until the end I'm here for you

Too Blind to See
I once Lost myself for you Out on a limb reaching for you Viscously fought for your attention Expecting the worse hoping for the best Didn't expect what you brought to the table You walked right through me Over my heart and through the forest you went Used me like a love song I once Made you my all I knew better Shame on me Shame on you Everyone knew Didn't see it coming Yelling for closure Outsmarted by your games Utterly humiliated I once Forgot how to live Evenings alone Lusted for onces touch Told myself never again Alive in the midst of death Living of the old memories Inviting the reaper in for a cup Victory wasn't an option anymore Everlasting joy swallowed in darkness

I once...
Walking down the cold streets of memory lane The warmth slipped through my hands I couldn't help to know that I was the one to blame as I fumbled around for your touch. ThingsrushedbysofastIdidnthavetimeto t h i n k Blinded by once was I took a wrong step You disappeared from me with one blink into the torment of a cold...cold..cold heart. Echoes of the past come to strangle the ghost of you A heart so cold only the brave one can bare Lost and confused I waited for the final cue the sick torments it has within waiting to pounce. Walking down the cold streets of memory lane One day oh cold heart I'll be the brave one for you Always seems to bring the greatest pain but until then I'll be the warmth she needs.

Memory Lane
Head up to the sky the street lights feel like eyes Eyes of the past, present, and future Memories of love, hate, and regrets because I was too shy To shy to make things last, stay, and proceed Feelings of happiness, sorrow, and pain rush through my veins The same very veins that carried blood to my cold heart The heart that once was whole, happy, and big is not broken, sad, and tiny You see it wasn't someone who made my heart the way it was it was the experiences that it went through I've only been alive for nineteen years, but I feel like I've been living for eighty We all go through our temptations and trials some conquered some failed, but what really matters is that we are alive and we can keep our heads up to the sky

Seeing Things Clearly
I've been in this for too long I don't know what has me stuck on this song. My head keeps on tellin me to go for it show her that you can make it rain, but my heart is screamin' please please I don't know how long I can handle your pain! What to do, what to do? The truth hurts but the lies only heal this open wound. On one hand I see pain and strife, but on the other I see a new happy life. I know whats good for me and I know what its gonna take to set me free. I just can't do it. You might be thinkin' "What the hell is this ***** doin? I can feel your pain by just readin your words. Why stay and keep on loosin?" I'll tell you why I stay. I'm too stupid to lead my feelins astray. When I go for some thin, I bring all my being into it. I hold nothin back not willin to quit. It may **** me in the end, but in the end I know i was the one who tried to make things blend. You see. I come to you writing this poem not for a specific person. I don't need someone jumpin to a conclusion and turning this into a car collision. Time heals all, but this heart has been up and down way to many walls...Its time to open up a new page in this story and this chapter will be labled Untitled.
