Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!
Traveler Tim

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again

I have a secret life
very well hidden
from anyone´s eyes
in the glass coffin
I am lying
waiting
for you
to  never come
Kindred spirits with hearts to repair
Connecting with every story shared
Between the morning star and the crescent moon
We found beauty and strength in the rainy monsoon
With who I am,
That in which I've become.

Be gone
With the meaningless words
Dribbling from my mouth

Be gone
With the empty promises
Escaping with my breath

Be gone
With the anger
That plagues me, I'm a monster inside

Be gone
With my false image
I have no use for something I cannot believe in

Be gone
With me
I have no use for something that does not work as intended
No need for something that wasnt what I was told it should be
Something that holds to value or meaning to me
Give me a new self
Mould me into what it is you want
Break every piece of me and build me up again
I want to be worth you
I want to be worth me

Simply be gone
*With me
I want to run and hide, but how can I hide from myself?
There is no turning the other way and pretending its not there
I cant stand me... I cant change me... I dont want to be me...
I'm just waiting for the day
That you leave me
Left on the ground
Out for the count of three

I'm just waiting for the day
That I become too much for you
Then I guess we'll come to see
Just whose words were true

I'm just waiting for the day
That I can tell you I told you so
When we're apart we'll see
Just how horrible things will go

I'm just waiting for the day
You decide we're better on our own
I don't want to hear you cry
When I pick up the *phone
Broken just enough
To feel empty inside
But still manage a smile

Hurt just enough
To have cried myself asleep
But still got up in the morning

Pain is just enough
To leave my arm burning red
But not cut

Heartbroken just enough
To find no worth in continuing
But remaining strong enough for us both

Everything just enough*
To break my spirit
To break my will
To break my faith
To ruin my happiness
To ruin me
But I keep going with a smile
To smile with the intent of joy...i have forgotten

She wanders,
guided by her lost soul.
She spills arts,
coming from her pure heart;
She writes words no one can understand,
yet she speaks it like it was kept in her mind
for so long, just waiting for someone to find it.
She is a masterpiece of her own,
but she has a heart of stone.

And all of sudden . She changed.        She came back a completely different person.  With A new mindset , A new outlook , A new soul.

The girl that once cared way too much. About everyone & everything.

No longer cared at all.
