So many misinterpreted metaphors
make me cringe
''are you trying to ruin poetry for everyone''
but I hide my damp eyes behind my fringe
because I mustn't argue and my teachers are never wrong
They sing without a meaning or lyric in their song
we are taught to write what they want to hear
not the truth we feel inside our hopes and fears

But i must turn the other cheek
to get my degree I need..when home I ponder, I weep
because it was the school that killed poetry
for many of my peers..
But all is not lost..wipe away those tears
Grab the pen that feels ethical
the paper that doesn't deceive, doesn't lie
and write a poem that you can feel
you'll get out of school alive

You can’t have my body
If I can’t have your soul
For I want somebody to hold
A heart to warm me when I am cold
Not a connection only skin deep
I want you in me
Just not in that way
I need someone in me
But someone who is here to stay
I’m not just a one night stand
I’ll tell you right up front
But I will be with you for longer
If commitment is what you want
Getting attached is far too easy
And I can’t stay whole
If I give pieces of my heart away
Only for you to soon part ways
So I’m making an offer
It’s here standing tall
If you want a chance to love me
Please give it your all
