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.

Don't
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Don't tell me that you understand,
Don't say you know how I feel,
Don't pretend that you know what this is like.
You are not me,
And you will never know how I feel.

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.

Dear Parents
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.
Parents just need to give their kids some slack every once in a while. We all mess up, and we all have bad days. WE AREN'T PERFECT!

Darkness
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

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...

Lonely Road
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
I travel this road,
To a place
Unknown,
My destination
Is hope.
It's a lonely path,
With no one
To help.
I'm truly
All alone.

Book of Love
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
As I read
This book,
The story of love,
I wonder why,
we aren't on
The same page.
Have you skip
A chapter,
Or am I just
A slow reader.

Current of Love
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

What is the Right Way
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
You say
Things don't work
This way,
That this
Isn't how
It's suppose to happen.
Who decided
That there was
A right way,
And who decided
This was wrong?
Things happen as they will,
And I believe
We should just go
With the flow.
Don't try to fight it,
Just because you think
We didn't do something
In the right order,
Doesn't mean
It's wrong.
304 · Aug 2014
Monsters
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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 Will Not Rest
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

Limitless
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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!

Pressure
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
You have to be perfect,
You can't make mistakes.
All this work that you do,
You do with high stakes.

So just go ahead,
Try to relax.
What's that you can't,
You'll fall through the cracks.

You have to do it all,
You can't let them down.
Everyone's relying on you,
To be the best all around.
295 · Aug 2014
Awake for You
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

Dreaming
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.
Night-time is the best time.
293 · Aug 2014
The One?
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Is she the one,
The one fore me?
How can I be sure?
Why can't I see?
I know everything about her.
She's honestly the best.
So why am I still considering,
All off the rest?
Shouldn't it be clear,
So easy to know?
Why can't I just live,
And go with the flow.
Instead I fight it,
Afraid to be real.
I'm extremely scared,
To seal the deal.
Why does love have to be so confusing?
287 · Aug 2014
Empty Eyes
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.
287 · Aug 2014
Gone
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Gone for a second,
No worries here.
Gone for a minute,
I have no fear.
Gone for an hour,
It's been a while.
Gone for a week,
I try to hold my smile.
Gone for a month,
It's been so long.
Gone for a year,
What did I do wrong?
Gone for a decade,
I've lost all hope.
Gone forever,
I've learned to cope.
She's not coming back.

Nights With Her
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Down goes
The sun,
Up goes
My heart.
The stars
Light the sky,
But you're all
I see.
I sit with
You now.
On top of
This hill.
You hold
My hand,
And I hold yours.
Let's stay here
Forever.
I never want this moment
To end.

Done Waiting
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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?

Change
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

No Rhymes
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
Poems don't have to rhyme,
Who cares how they sound.
Rhyming can be so restricting,
That's what I've found.

Don't be like Me
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
I tell these stories,
So that you will be smart.
So that you won't live like me,
And completely fall apart.

So listen close,
And hear my voice.
You only get one life,
So make the right choice.

Everyone makes mistakes,
Just don't make the ones I did.
I may seem wise now,
But I was once a dumb kid.

So waste no time,
And turn around.
I believe in you,
You're successes bound.

Stolen Love
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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 bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark bark bark.

The Quakes of Life
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.
For aren't we all troubled

My Mind
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

The Next Day
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

Sorrows of a Tree
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

Goodbye
Mooseman55 Sep 2014
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.

A Race against my Thoughts
Mooseman55 Aug 2014
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.

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.

Beans.
Mooseman55 Mar 2021
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
