Not Today
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I don't think I'll write today.
I just don't think I have it inside me.
The feeling of joy and inspiration are are gone,
And I'm just sitting here.
Alone.
Cold.
I'm tired of feeling this way, day after day.
I just want to feel normal.
I want to feel like I belong.
What happened to the life I once had?
I don't even know who I am any more.
Who is this person that was once me?
Hello?
Where are you?
Why did you leave me?
I don't think I'll write today.

Hate (10w)

Let's just Chill
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I don't understand,
What's the big deal,
Why can't we just keep things chill.
It's worked so far,
Why make this weird,
I'm not looking for that kind of thrill.

Why do you persist,
And nag me so much,
I just don't want to do it.
It's not that I'm embarrassed,
Or don't like you,
It's just not the right fit.

I'm sorry that you don't get it,
That you are so confused,
But it's really not complicated.
We just keep things the same,
Don't worry at all,
And stay unsophisticated.

Isn't this Enough
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Do you really want me,
Or just someone to call your own?
Because I want you bad,
And I hope thats shown.

You keep asking,
To make things "official".
But this relationship,
Is starting to feel superficial.

We are already together,
Isn't that enough.
I don't want to announce it to the world,
I hate that kind stuff.

So I guess I'm saying,
You'll have to choose.
It's me or the title,
One you have to lose.

*We shouldn't measure our love for people by the titles we put on our relationships with them, but by how much we care about them and they care about us.

Last Breath
Mooseman55 Nov 2014
Suffocating from this life,
No air for my soul.
I'm choking on time,
Not one part,
But the whole.

Gasping now,
My lips shutter so.
The darkness is near,
And I see,
I must go.

One final breath,
Is all I can give.
Let the cold take me now,
It's time I die,
So I can live.

Walls
Mooseman55 Nov 2014
These walls, tall walls,
So high above my head,
Come down, come down,
I must see over over you instead.

Hope
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
Hope pours into us as fast as it pours out. It may seem at times an unobtainable sensation, one by which we are addicted. We search far an wide for hope to fall, yet the drought never seems to cease.

No Air
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
Living in the fast lane,
No time to breath,
But how can you survive.
You're suffocating,
Being choked to death,
Your oxygen deprived.

But you mustn't give in,
For you cannot fail,
You do what is expected.
Why they ask,
Why do it for them,
Easy, you want to respected.

Then You think,
Why should I care,
Why waste away my soul.
This is your life to have,
Your time to give,
Stop playing their made up role.

Bliss
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
So wonderful it is,
Oh the bliss you feel.
On top of the world,
It's all so surreal.
The descent you see,
That is my foe.
I think I'll stay high,
And keep this glow.
Don't bring me down,
For I will not fall.
I'm here for good,
That is all.

Circus Act
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Step right up,
Step right up!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Boys and girls.
What you are about to see,
Is truly amazing.
I single man,
Will attempt to live his life,
Without being overwhelmed.
He will try to juggle not only school,
But sports,
His social life,
And many other responsibilities.
Watch now as he does all of this,
While being persecuted by society.

*What you are about to witness should never be tried at home.
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
We wish we were them. They wish they were us.

A Piece of my Heart
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I took a knife,
Cut my heart in two.
I gave a piece away,
I gave a piece to you.

So keep it safe,
And treat it well.
It's in you now,
That's where it dwells.

Swapping Sides
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
The moment I'm brave enough
To think like you,
You start to think
Like I use to.

But why?

How could this have happened?
How did we switch sides?
It all seems so strange to me.
I now fight for your cause,
And you now fight for mine.

Doesn't this battle
Just seem so pointless now?


Or
      Maybe
                   This
                            Is
                             ­   Just
                                        All
             ­                                 In
                             ­                      My
                                                          Head­.

Waves of Time
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
The things I write will no more be remembered then my footprints on the beach; slowly being washed away by the waves of time. But this matters not for I wish to leave behind something more permanent. To change the lives of others and inspire them in all they do. To push people to commit good deeds, and have faith in humanity. To put faith in themselves, and all they can accomplish.

Sink Me
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Your love rushes through me,
Like a river so swift.
I think I'll let the current take me,
Let my body just drift.
No need to try and stay afloat.
I want to drown in you.
I want to sink my boat.

How to Love
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Love like time,
Patient and forever.
Be lasting and true,
And always endeavor.

Love like water,
Deep and clear.
Care for your partner,
And keep them near.

Love like fire,
Passionate and hot.
Be who you are,
Don't be who you're not.

Love like stone,
Heavy and strong.
If you do all of this,
You can't go wrong.

Where is Our Man of Steel
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
We wait for Superman,
Where is he now?
He said he'd be here,
He made a vow.

Our man of steel,
Has let us down.
Now it's up to us,
To save this town.

So let us unite,
And fight together.
Let's fair the storm,
And survive this bad weather.

As time goes by
We start to see,
That Superman
Just wasn't meant to be.

If he wouldn't have left,
We wouldn't have been united.
And our human spirit to live,
Would not have been ignited.

Circle of Life
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
The circle of life,
Spins round and round.
Silently,
Without a sound.

It keeps the balance,
And all things true.
It controls everything,
Except for you.

You have a choice,
To break the chain.
Take forth you life,
Don't live in vein.

It may not be easy,
You mustn't give in.
You don't want to regret,
What could have been.

Popular
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
Who am I but the one in the back,
No to need notice me.
You lead the chants and cheers,
And do not see.
For why bother with us,
We are but lesser.
For you are so popular,
And we are the down dressers.
You own the crowd,
They all love you.
I awkwardly stand,
And keep out of view.
Who am I but the one in the back,
No to need notice me.
If I left no one would care,
And I think you'd agree.
It's all fun for you,
I see you smile so bight.
I hold tears inside,
I don't belong tonight.
But who am I kidding,
I've never fit before.
So why did I think tonight,
Would have had something different in store.

Sitting Heart
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Dust collects on my unused heart,
I don't dare take it off the shelf
For the last time I did,
You tried to smash it to bits,
You only cared about yourself.
So I leave it there,
It never moves anymore.
I have no reason to use it again.
For the last time I did,
All I got in return,
Was heart ache when you slammed the door.

What's Keeping Me?
Mooseman55 Nov 2014
Trade one life for another,
Surrendering my soul.
I don't know if I've given up,
Or just gotten caught in dark hole.

Motivation is gone,
And so is my head.
I'm losing myself again,
I might as well be dead.

Silly you say,
There's so much in life.
I haven't found any,
All I seen is strife.

So why not take myself,
Out of this place.
Really, what's keeping me here,
Lock in this space.

My New Home
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I really need a new home,
My current one is filled with dust and cracks.
You can barely live in it it's so awful.
If I could make a new home I know just how I would build it.
I would start by laying the foundations for new relationships,
Then add a few walls of trust,
Maybe even a few windows for a little perspective.
Next, I'd add some doors of opportunity,
And fill the rooms with books and knowledge.
Finally, I would invite people,
Who always smile and laugh to live with me.
That is the kind of house I want to live in,
Not this old thing.
292 · Aug 2014
If only
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
If only there were more like you,
If only you weren't so far away.
Then maybe we could really be friends,
And I could stop staring at this empty screen.

After the Run
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
My shirt smells bad,
My socks are wet.
I stand on my porch,
Covered in sweat.

My headphones in,
Music blaring.
I slip off the shoes,
That I am wearing.

It's time to relax,
I'm done with my run.
I don't think I'll do that again,
It wasn't fun.

Thank You
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I was promised paradise,
But all I got was broken dreams.
As I pick up the pieces,
You put them back together.
If it weren't for you,
I would have never been fixed.
I wish I could thank you,
For saving my life.

Love Triangle
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Captured by love,
Overwhelmed with passion.
My heart beats fast,
In a drum like fashion.

There is no solution,
I cannot win.
A moral battle,
A battle within.

Who do I choose,
Who's right for me.
There both so perfect,
Can't you see?

I feel so horrid,
Being in this position.
I wish I could fight,
Fight a war of attrition.

But there is no time,
For I must know.
Who will I keep,
And who will go.

Lost and Breathless
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Looked at by many,
And seen by few.
I walk through
The crowd,
In search
Of you.
I may just be
Some boy,
Average in all ways.
But I still need
Your love,
I'm caught
In a daze.
I'm lost when
You leave,
I cannot find
The trail.
I need you
To breathe,
You're the air
I inhale.

As Love Crumbles
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
We were perfect together,
Nothing could split us apart,
And then you left for a while.
When you came back,
Things just weren't the same,
I found it harder to smile.

We use to think the same,
But now we don't,
Why aren't we on the same page?
For now I fear,
That this is our end,
The end of a golden age.

I've tried my best,
To talk to you,
To explain why I am this way.
But you just won't listen,
You don't understand,
Please, I just want you to stay.

I know in my heart,
That if we can't work this out,
We won't last for very long.
But I hope we can,
I pray all the time,
I pray that I am wrong.

So please come back,
Come back to me,
It's time we make this right.
I'm not ready to lose you,
It's not our time.
Our spark we must reignite.

A Few Brave Souls
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
We are the few,
We are the hidden.
We speak the unspoken,
We are the unbroken.

We follow none,
We have free will.
We do what's right,
We are the light.

We speak out for others,
We say only the truth.
We believe in one nation,
We right our own narration.

You Left Me with Holes
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
The moment you left
I knew trouble was coming,
I knew there was going to be
A bumpy road ahead.
And I was right.
Now that your back,
I've tried my best to
Fill in all the holes.
But I just don't know
If I'll have the time.
I do know for certain,
That I want this to work,
I hope our paths will
Once again diverge.

Tomorrow is a New Day
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
As the sunsets,
And ends this day,
I ask myself,
Why things didn't go my way?

What did I do,
To deserve this hurt?
My wounds reopened,
Rubbed in with dirt.

I feel the sting,
Inside my chest.
My hearts on fire,
No time to rest.

But I must sleep,
I must proceed.
For tomorrow is a a new day,
A new day to achieve.

So I close my eyes,
Forget the pain.
I open my window,
And fall asleep to the rain.
Tomorrow is only a day away...
