I smile
But not due to cheer.
I smile
To hide my fear.

I hope never to make the same mistake again.
Living with the knowledge that I am no farther away from him.
Him being the me that I once was.
I see him in the mirror,
I hear his voice when I speak.
We even have the same mannerism
When we lay our head
Or sit down to eat.
I can run but it never will far.
He's my shadows
He's always there
Somewhat like a childhood scar.
I can tear and I can scratch
But my scars only remain after that.
Daily trials seem to feed his purpose
But newfound wisdom defeats his resurface

I am stronger than you

McDonalds didn't make you fat
You did that! Guns didn't magically fly in mid air and pop you in the ***! You did not accidentally cheat on your significant other
You don't trip and fall into the arms of another! Your race is not accountable for your big mistakes, Obama is not responsible for your electric bill nor is the Muslim population for the many killed. Pets don't have the natural instinct to behave it's lousy owners who don't know how to keep an animal trained.
Please stop with these pathetic blames and grow a brain.
PS: the top sentence refers to people who sue McDonald's for making them fat when they had the choice not to eat there!

I can't sing
I don't dance
But I can make these words
Prance across this page
And soothe you with melodious rhymes of my life at a glance.

I'll never be Trey
but I can write poems into Songz
I'm not soulful like Gladys
But I write these poem to be someone's shining Knight
I'm a spur of the moment poet
Nothing more and probably less
I'll never be the greatest
But I'm glad I got these words off my chest.

I can float like a butterfly
And sting like a bee
But growing up I realized
I'm kinda good looking
So fighting really wasn't for me.
I'm 6 foot 3
Can dunk and dribble a ball
But I have a bad knee
So I'm just another guy that's tall.

So for now your stuck with my poems
At least until I find something better to do
But I have to stop somewhere
So I'll end it with this.
I think you're all way better poets than me
But I won't give up til you all
Know I Exist
Just writing because I have nothing better to do at work

She calls me crazy
I guess me and her
Are more alike than
She will ever know

I was raised to be a man
I was raised to be strong
I was raised to know how to admit when I'm wrong

I was raised to be a man by a mother of six
She worked four jobs
Never saw her sleep
Smoked cigarettes
I was under the impression,
She never got sick.

I was raised to be strong
But never knew what that was.
I've beat bigger, stronger and faster people
Just because.
Tolerated all kinds of pains,
Been locked up more times than I can count.
Made a beautiful little girl
And that's the only thing,
That made me as strong as I am now.

I was raised to know how to admit when I'm wrong
Anything I've ever done I never regret,
Change tunes or sing a different song.

I'm proud of who my mother raised,
And my daughter perfected.
So I write these poems to show the world where I'm headed.
A simple thank you to the ladies in my life

I don't want to be
Just a friend
But you,
Yeah you.
You've friend zoned me,
Not once or twice
But it seems to happen,
Again and again.

So I can't listen anymore,
I can't be that friend.
I care for your problems,
Just not when they always start with him.

Yeah, I'm a little bitter,
Because I know I'd do you better.
But every time you have a problem,
You bring it my way.
How black clouds precede bad weather.

So you've run out of time
And I'm just that fickle.
I've found someone else;
But my heart will always yearn for you.
Just a little.

P.S.
No it won't,
won't even feel a tickle.
But since I'm gone
Have fun,
Becoming best friends with
A Damp Pillow.
