Whatever I say on here is either going to sound exactly like everyone else's. But not everyone is the same, right? So here goes nothing; Ever sinse first grade I've been writing poetry, just a passion I picked up on I guess. I'm no Shakespear but I enjoy what I do. I'm not going to say much because I don't think that anyone will actually take the time to read this. Writing is just my way of coping and getting through things. / / I don't post everything on here though so check out "http://tolivetowrite.blogspot.com" and tell me what you think? Please and thank you.
Solitary, Deserted, Isolated, Abandoned
They all mean the same thing
They all come with the same thoughts
The same feelings as well.
But what I cannot quite fathom is this:
There are hundreds of people
They’re everywhere
All around me
All the time
But if that holds true
Then why do I feel
Alone?

As I lay down on the warm pavement
I gaze up at the sky
And I begin to wait.
The cool nightly breeze whispers in my ear
A sweet little song
And I wait.
The thunder is booming and rumbling along
A muted drum up above
And I wait.
The lightning streaking across the open sky
A light to guide the stars
And I wait.
Then from the sky falls one small drop
Landing on my cheek
I close my eyes and smile.
I am at peace.

And I just keep screaming
Chase, Chase get up!
Chase the truck is moving!
Chase Get Up!
Yet he lays there motionless.
As if he wants to go
As if he doesn't care
Does he?
Should I let him go?
It is his choice.
Do I let him know?
I can't tell him now.
But what will happen if I don't?
Chase!

Before you do it
Come take my hand
We're going for a walk.
I know just what you're going to do
And I think we need to talk.
We'll go left
Or we'll go right
The choice is up to you.
Our path depends on only one thing
How do you see you?
The path you choose
Is left
So that's the way we'll go.
It's a path of feeling worthless
Just so that you know.
Right now
I need to show you
What you're going to miss.
If you choose to give up now
And give in to the devil's kiss.
Look right there
That's your family
They're at your first preformance.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've given up on dance.
Over there
You'll see your grandparents
They're holding your new guitar.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've given up who you are.
To you're right
You'll see a guy
He wants to ask you out.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've picked a different route.
I would go on
But I won't say more
I think you understand.
Now I want you to answer me this
Do you still want your life to end?
See I was right
Listen to me
This is a better way.
You're heading in a new direction now
So I've got one last thing to say.
Whipe the blood
Off of your hand
And put the blade away.
Your life is worth more than you think
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Remember me when you’ve really ******* up
Remember me when your life gets rough
Remember me when you feel alone
Remember that I’m right by the phone.
Forget me when you’ve met someone else
Forget what I’ve said, because none of it helps
Forget that now my heart is shattered
Forget me because I do not matter
Remember that I do not need you
Forget how we were stuck like glue
Remember that I have moved on
Forget me because, I’m already gone.

From my mind, come a million thoughts
Some are memorable
Some are regrettable.
When the thoughts are good, they’re great
But they only seem to ever last for a moment.
When the thoughts are bad, they’re indescribable
And they seem to take control.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words
So try to picture this.
A guy and a girl so perfectly matched
Their bond is just simply bliss.
While standing hand in hand
With smiles stretched so wide
You can see a connection between them
Something that is deep inside.
As they look into each others eyes
They see more than just a face
They see who they really are together
And they are in a safer place.
You can see a description of feelings
Though it’s not written on a page
It’s a description full of truth
And grows with them as they age.
This picture is quite significant
Though I don’t think you can deduce
That this picture could be your future some day
But I’ll leave that up to you.

The pattern never seems to change
Back and Forth, Back and Forth
I’m going in a constant circle
Like clock work
No new paths
Just one track
The same track as always.
He likes me, he likes me not
Tick, Tock
He likes me, he likes me not
Tick, Tock.

I can still hear her
Through hushed whispers of the wind
Her voice and her laugh.
Thinking of her now
I dare not shed any tears
I hold them all in.
I can still hear her
Through the ripples of the tide
Her voice and her laugh
For I must be strong
I must act like I am fine
I’m perfectly fine.
I can still hear her
Through the rustle of the trees
Her voice and her laugh
Wishing she were here
But knowing she can’t come back
Causes me to break.

A cloud has been hanging over my head
One of dark and dreadful traits
I thought that I was happy now
But sadness my subconscious creates.
Everything was going great
Now something is going wrong
And though I’ve always been told that life is short
It’s never felt so long.
So many feelings are coming back
And I don’t know what to do
I just want to push all these feelings away
But that’s hard when they’re pulling you.
