I look at the words
lying on the paper
And my heart begins to ache
I tried with much effort
But I see that
they're all fake
Somewhere deep inside
the torment does reside
Sometimes one has to accept
that the truth has arrived
Maybe the time has come
The one you ignored but feared
Every writer faces that day
The end to their
writing careers
I take a deep breath
as I look across field
still dreaming of that masterpiece
that to the masses would appeal
It's still all but willing to escape
But what more can I do
to alleviate the pain
when the words stop
flowing through

I think,
I love you..

But it's better not to tell you,
Not because I'm afraid of rejection,

I just think I can't make you happy,
The way he did..

Light...
There is no light here,
At least not to my knowledge,
I've never been allowed to experience it,
The life I've lived for 17 years,
The people who adopted me 16 1/2 years ago,
It was never a part of my life and they never let it be,
I always went behind their back,
But I still have never experienced it.

I can't see anything,
It seems like I've gone blind,
But I know I haven't,
It is just Dark

Ok so I remembered Halloween was today last night. But when I woke up this morning, I forgot. I got to school dressed like Tom Sawyer (today was dress up as your favorite book character at my school) and everyone was like "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!" I just forgot that it was Halloween again, until my girlfriend said "I love you" like she normally does, For some reason that reminded me that it was Halloween. It is weird, every time a day is important, I always forget, until my girlfriend says something random. Just thinking about this... My memory has gotten so bad over the years and I am only 17. What about when I am in my 50s?? Oh well as long as I have someone that will stay by my side I will be good.

A poet's finest words,
Are the ones he left unsaid.
The words you can only see
By the tears on the paper.
That was all he ever had.
