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.

I would like to mulligan the hand life dealt me.

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.

So you say that I'm a bad kid,
That I'm messing everything up.
But I'm not even doing drugs,
Or drinking beer out of a cup.

I'm just trying my best, I promise.
Why don't you listen to me.
The things I do wrong are nothing,
Compared to most kids I see.

I don't understand why something so little,
As forgetting to take out the trash.
Is as bad to as me smoking ****,
And you finding the ash.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the sun.
I wait for the stars,
I wait for my fun.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the clock,
Time slowly ticks on,
Tick tock, tick tock.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

It's almost time,
The darkness is near.
I wait and watch,
The sun disappears.
The sky's ablaze,
Like fire it sneers.
I can wait no long,
Please darkness come here!

Finally it's here,
The darkness is here!
The stars come out to play,
With the moon,
And his friends the planets.
Oh how I wish they could stay!
Darkness don't go,
Please don't go away.

But in good time,
They'll have to leave,
And I'll need wait once more.
I'll have to wait all day,
For the time I truly adore.
I'll wait all day for the darkness,
And after that,
I'll wait some more.

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.

You and me.

You speak as swift as a current,
As you pull me deeper and deeper into your love.
I'm scared I might get pulled out to far.
Maybe I should I just let the water take me.
Maybe before I can breathe again I need to drown.

I fight off these
Monsters,
Thinking they are here
To hurt me.
Little do I know,
That they only
Want to help.
But why?
This is what
I don't understand.
This is what
Confuses me.
For never before
Have I seen
A friendly monster.
Never before
Has one tried
To help me.

I am awake,
I cannot sleep,
For all I can think of is you.
I toss and turn,
But to no prevail,
If only you really knew.

The thought of you,
Has grown in me,
It's taken over my mind.
All I can see,
Is your smiling face,
I truly now am blind.

I will not rest,
Until you're with me,
I have no other choice.
For all I want,
Is to be with you,
And hear your precious voice.

So again I tell you,
I cannot sleep,
For you are all I need.
I will not rest,
Until I find you,
Then my sleep will be freed.

If you believe I have limits,
Then you are the one who is limited, not I.

This world is a blank canvas,
And I stand ready to paint.
I choose my fate,
No one else can, but I.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
My life has some plan.
I haven't planned anything,
And there for you are wrong.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
What I can and cannot do.
I decide that,
And I have decide I can do anything.
This is my life.

I live not for a single person,
Or purpose,
I live because I choose to.
I live.
I choose.
This is my life!

I know I said,
That I had to sleep,
But your on my mind,
And my hearts in a heap.

I'm wide awake,
My thoughts set on you.
I love your smile,
And your laugh too.

So I guess I'll stay,
Awake this night.
But it's because of you,
So that's alright.

As I close my eyes,
I slowly smile,
I know what is to be.
My favorite time,
Of all my life,
Dreaming is what sets me free.

Tied down by nothing,
No limits nor end,
Just my own mind.
I am free to dream,
Anything I like,
Myself I look to find.

I look at the world through empty eyes,
Everything seems so surreal.
It's like I'm watching from a distance,
Trapped inside this body,
I'm not sure what to feel.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.*

Well at least I have two of the three...

I've been holding on for some kind of miracle,
But it seen like it's just time to let go.
No need to waste anymore time,
Wishing for false dreams.
For what is a wish but silent words,
Heard by no one but you.
Why do you think they never come true?

"Look both ways before you cross the street", so the saying goes.
I just wish someone had told me the same thing about life.

Change your mind,
And change the world.
Let your thoughts,
Be unfurled.

Forget about society,
And remember your heart.
Today is the day,
The revolution starts.

For all it takes,
To start a movement.
Is a single person,
Making a good improvement.

Poems don't have to rhyme,
Who cares how they sound.
Rhyming can be so restricting,
That's what I've found.

*Oh wait a minute...

My wallet is empty,
And so is my heart.
You took all I had,
I'm falling apart.

You robbed me of more
Than just my cash.
You stole my soul,
And burned it to ash.

So you're not just a thief,
But an arsonist too.
You set my heart on fire,
And burnt it all the way through.

But sadly for you,
I'll rise up again.
Out of ashes,
A phoenix with no end.

Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bake bark bark bark.
Bark bark,
Bark bark bark.

Bark bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark.
Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark.

Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark.
Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark bark bark.

The shake,
It's pain you see,
Holding me back,
From breaking free.

I carry it,
Traveling with it so,
My shine fades,
A single glow.

I worry now,
I may not survive.
But my life if young,
I have yet to arrive.

Millions of thoughts,
Inside my head.
I'm not sure,
how they can all fit.
They keep piling in,
Like an avalanche.
I take everything in,
And let nothing out.

Do I have a limit?
How much can I hold?

I'm not sure home much longer my walls can stand.

Me: If I fall will you catch me?

The Floor: *Yes

My gosh I'm a mess,
I can't think straight.
What have you done to me,
We only had one date.

I can't stop thinking of you,
It's impossible you see.
This passion that I've found,
It will not leave me.

I just hope,
When it's all said and done,
You don't break my heart,
But that you are the one.

My roots run deep,
I feel so grounded.
But all I want,
Is to be able to fly.

The birds swoop above me,
Almost in a taunt.
I cannot break these ties,
That hold me down.

I push upward,
Trying to soar.
But instead,
I only grow taller.

Tears fall down,
Making puddles so deep.
I'm afraid I might drown in my sorrow.
But what do you care,
You left me for them,
It'll be all over tomorrow.
So I lay here and think,
Where did I go wrong,
Why can't I just fit in.
All I do is worry,
And fall apart,
My life is one big sin.
So let's end it all,
Just make it stop,
I really don't want this now.
I'm sick of this world,
And all it's games,
I've taken all I will allow.
Goodbye cold grace,
You've left me cold,
I should have seen this coming.
I must move on,
My time has come,
It's time that I stop running.

I only sleep so that I can dream of you.

This is society with all it's rules.

Pen in hand,
Words in mind.
The race is on,
My ink runs hot.

My soul spills out,
Onto the page.
I'm winning now,
My thoughts run thin.

But just when I think,
I have it won.
My thoughts flood back,
A million new ones to write.

My hand is cramping,
But I can't give up.
Write faster I say,
But I just simple cannot.

Men of honor,
Men of steel.
I ask for you this hour.
The time has come,
For you to fight,
Do all within your power.

Knights of none,
What I ask of you,
Is to not easily finished.
But please have faith,
Please be strong,
May your courage never diminish.

I send you forth,
To fight this war,
On this day so dark you see.
For if you don't,
My soul will die,
And I will not be free.

With our little bean rings,
those strange little things,
we make a promise of love.
Not unlike “The Rings”,
those wedding things,
Just without the extra

The little bean rings we wrapped around our fingers. Those little strange things, although gone, still linger. Well, perhaps not the bean but

I never knew,
How much a bean,
Could mean to a guy like me.
But then one day,
I saw you there,
In the midst of Batman Alley.

Little bean rings,
Why wear such things?

Well I’ll tell right now, so listen.

When a boy meets a girl,
One he loves

Little bean rings, one of our strange little things, one of many I guess I’d say.

I’ve tried all I can to write a poem about beans. Okay well not about beans exactly, but rather rings made out of beans. Well actually they were made out of strings beans, but that’s not the point. The point is I’m trying to write this poem. So here I am thinking about little bean rings and how much I love this girl and that’s when it hits me, that’s when I realize

Two string beans, grow up to be rings, what an odd life for such a plant.

I love you
