Words can not describe the agony
because agony is not a word
and words do not feel
people feel
people feel agony
because agony came from words
only people can describe agony: they started it
I don't think any thing I write is good, but I have nothing else to do so I do it.

I am not a voice

change my tune

I am a choice

sounding like the afternoon



Kid sitting in the back

head down on the desk

thinkin about some nick nack

I'm not tryin my best



ideas are flowin

all the other kids chatting

the wind outside is blowin

their words combating



like the old do to the young

they just want them to be quiet

they just can't stop their tongue

all they want to do is riot



I exist:

kinda like a tree

something that wants to be free

I just gotta find my need



back to the kid

he makes a few bids

can't find himself

he'll end up on the shelf



In the end

his head is down

ideas used to defend

all is goin to the ground
Just more randomness.

We live in a cycle

my name is Michael

little kid rides a tricycle

while a grown up rides a bicycle

I have a sickle

to my right ventricle

some kid found a nickle

some grown up is being fickle

the red flood starts as a tickle

and ends at a trickle

little kid believes in a miracle

a grown up only sees an obstacle

my name is Michael

We live in a cycle
This wasn't thought out well, but I liked it even if some it is forced and would have to be read with my voice to fit better. Oh well.-----I did make the form fit what I"m talking about though :)

Every thought may have already been thoughten
Every word may have already been spoken
I may be in the pack
I may be out of the pack
The end I form the thoughts
The end I mold the words
I craft them together to be original
I alas have not forgotten(yet)

The garage opens
light floods in
the sky is blue and solid
the ground is black and clear
the bike is white and prefect
strangers ignore it all
the bike is moving
passing my own view
cars keep chasing their own tail
the bike doesn't hesitate
into a white car it goes
the car isn't white, but red
strangers stare at it all
there is no bike of perfection
the ground is also not black, but red
the sky is dark filled with lights
my view is darkness
and the light cannot flood anymore
Every time I ride my bike I wonder if I'll get hit by a car and just maybe I wish I would.

Add effect
synthesize
bring together ones soul
simple rhymes make us fold
leave behind the familiar mold
believe that you're made of gold
this is what my father told
grow to be young not old
the world is  not cold
love can not be sold
life isn't on hold
be the bold
revolutionize
We all blend no matter how different we look we all end the same.

End
Waste away tonight
knife escape my own fate why
tomorrow is not
You don't make it to tomorrow it just is not.
