Unlike dreams
Joseph B McKenna Sep 2014
Unlike the dreams we wish we're real,
Reality always bites you in the ***,
It's one dreams that can keep a person whole,
But one without dreams is empty,
This emptiness lies within the soul,
Where one has lost all hope in these dreams they once held,
A child that doesn't strive for what they want to be,
Becomes a person slowly broken from the inside out,
Emptiness of the soul leaves a void,
A void from which your fears soon,
Soon begin controlling your actions,
Bending from what you once wanted to be,
To be the person who fears failure in their dreams,
Soon in their hearts to be blackened,

Love in Vain
Joseph B McKenna Sep 2014
One of the hardest things in life,
Is to love one that doesn't not love you,
You want to forget,
You want to stray from a thought of her,
Being with anyone on thee than you,
It's a painful burden for ones so young,
Young as I only 16,
Something I think no one person,
Should endure other than me,
I've learned to live with this burden,
Over 4 long years I've learned,
That she will never love the one that is me,
Think that this could be true love,
Was a weary mistake of a young boy,
Who at the time was just wondering,
Wondering what love could be,
This had soon learned of emotion,
But never had anyone seen,
Through a mask of flesh and blood,
Lie a soul that is shattered and broken, by the heart that once held it whole,
