Persona
James Lator Dec 2018
Life is a party!
A party of disguise
A party filled with pity
A party of the unknown

After a while with a confidant
You may chose to forget fault
Fall for desire
And remove your mask
But be quick to use a flask

Because life is a party!
A party of disguise
And if you're not wary.
you may just find,
that a confidant is not a mirror in a mask

Spectacle
James Lator May 2020
I once showed my mother good grades,
she smiled proudly and praised me to death.
I once dressed nicely to go on a date,
I acted like a gentleman and she was impressed.

I once smiled sweetly at my brother when he was in pain,
he quickly forgave me for punching his face.

I once paid good money for some simple aids,
my grades went up without wasting one breath.
I once asked out a girl that I hate,
popped her cherry without a thought to invest.

Why do I do it? Why leave such a stain?
Cause an ugly show has more beauty than an honest disgrace.

Hero
James Lator Dec 2018
Strong, dauntless, smart, and handsome
anyone can be a hero!
Unless you are born weak, afraid, dumb or loathsome
you can only be a zero.

Truth
James Lator Dec 2018
Humans are a fake,
A fake can't see the truth.
Humans can't see the truth!
Alas seekers won't break.

Even though it's elusive
seekers will reach for it.
Even though it's evasive
seekers will chase after it.

Truth can never be found
hidden beneath a fake's thousand lies.
But truth will not be drowned
As seekers pull ten thousand truths to challenge in a rise.

Truth will never fall apart...
So long as seekers keep it in the heart.

Imposibilities
James Lator Dec 2018
Day without night,
Shadow without light,
Life without air,
Pay that is fair.

You never cease to please
Even when you make a point to disappoint
