I don't always say much
It's like a slight touch
People go silent when I speak
They listen to me like I'm a freak
Saying whatever I say
That makes everything okay
Giving them peace of mind
Getting me out of any bind

Another song on Pandora that invigorated me

In Time

Things will go my way
I'll have everything I want someday
A house and a car
I won't need to frequent a bar
I'll have a gorgeous wife
We'll have built a wonderful life
Her and I together
These things in this order
House, car, wife, wonderful life and financial freedom

Was listening to a song called In Time on Pandora and I was feeling invigorated so I wrote this poem

Dismay

After all this time
Our lives had been interwine...
'd but you chose to sever it
Leaving me utterly alone
Nothing to keep me warm like an uncovered bone
Left to rot and decay
Feeling nothing but dismay

Another song that made me remember the former friend that stopped talking to me because one of her friends did

End

This life has went SO downhill
All this negativity shrinking away my will
Making me wish I was dead
Take a bullet to the head
Let this life end
Nobody would miss me; not a single friend
You are only wanted when you are useful
Your usefulness drains away and you aren't wanted; no
No one wants you around

You know how certain music evokes certain emotions well Run it up by Marshmello evoked depression from me

Lil thotty

You think you can speak to me like that ***
You best come correct when you talking to me
I thought you were a special lady
I used to think you were a hottie
But naw you just a lil thotty
Step back, get away, you can't come near me
**** was you thinkin' callin' a ***** out
You best watch yoself usin' them CAPS like you is angry

Coworker that I was crushing on rejected my past confession and left me feeling dejected as y'all can see. She said she'd still say hi but now I can only text her if it's job related. So this poem is what I have to say to that.

A celebrity

I see the way you lookin at me
I know, I know, you think I'm pretty
Yea girl I got you in a trance
Trying to pretend you didn't want a glance
I got that face all the ladies love
My height keeps me up and above
Im that tall dark and handsome
Where do you think my confidence comes from?
You can slide up next to me
I'll have time for you when I'm free
Ay girl don't get mad at me
This is what it's like to be a celebrity

This was another attempt at a song/rap.

This Life

Why must bad things happen to good people
Is it because the world chooses to do so?
Everyone says life isn't fair
Some people live it like they just dont care
They treat others with such brutality
Doing whatever they please constantly
They prey on those that trust too much
Doing and saying anything just so they can get a touch
A touch and taste of what they believe is power
Having control over what a person decides to do
Control that takes away
Control that invites strife
All because people treat others so terrible in this life

I know its been quite some time since I posted a poem on here so I thought it high time I did. I have so much I've been going through so y'all can look forward to some pretty dark poems and some about love.
