Expected
Rockie Nov 2014
I'm still expected to turn,
And see your face,
Wherever I am,
Wherever you go,
Wherever you stand,
I'm still expected to think of you,
And what I did,
Reminded each and every day,
Of what I was expected to do,
To not do,
To be the perfect little girl,
Who loved,
Who cleaned,
Who was expected only speak when spoken to,
But what if I was expected to rebel?
To be the bad little girl that society wanted me to be?

Aye
Rockie Nov 2014
Aye
Aye
That one syllable of agreement
Aye
Look at it, isn't it pretty?
Aye
If I died, Mummy, would you cry?
Aye
If you slept, would you dream?
Aye
All in favor of war, say
Aye

Some
Rockie Nov 2014
Some people are pretty
Some people like to rave
Some people aren't pretty
Some like to stay behind
Some people don't like others
Some people like lots of attention
But me?
I like the company
Of
Books,
Music,
Chocolate and Ice-cream,
The far distance memory
Of games
To play
And friends to find
And memories to part with
Some I like to cherish
Some I keep in a frame
Some I'll eventually forget
But some?
I'll hold close to my warm, beating heart

I'm Not Sure
Rockie Oct 2014
I'm not sure about you
I'm not sure about me
I'm not sure about us
I'm not sure about you leaving me
I'm not sure about me staying behind
I'm not sure about us being apart
I'm not sure about you and I being together
I'm not sure about how to say to us;
I'm
Not
Sure

Change
Rockie Oct 2014
Change;
Sometimes for the good;
Sometimes for the bad;
Sometimes for the riots;
Some for you, us, them, and everyone;
Change;
Sometimes for the best.

Grow Up
Rockie Oct 2014
Adults tell us to grow up,
But we don't want to,
We want to stay young,
Stay free,
Not grow old,
And wrinkly,
Like the prunes you see on display,
Adults tell us togrow up,
Stop being immature,
Yet they laugh too,
Act just as *childish

Time
Rockie Oct 2014
They say time will tell;
That it will heal bruises,
And scars,
And emotional pain,
But just time isn't enough,
Pictures, and kisses,
And talks, and music,
And memories
Memories help,
Not time,
Not hugs,
Nor kisses,
But maybe for some,
Those things help,
Memories work best for me.

You
Rockie Oct 2014
You
I have never met someone like you,
Who likes the same music,
And good food too,
Talks and dances and acts and laughs,
Like a child on a sugar rush,
An angered adult playing Candy  Crush,
Or maybe a new born pup,
What I'm trying to say is,
I've never met,
Someone like you.

Silver Lining
Rockie Oct 2014
Roads winding,
Paths intertwining,
There's a silver lining,
For every cloud,
That rains and pours and spits and slurs,
A *** of gold for every rainbow,
A laugh for every joke,
An A to your B,
A leaf for every tree,
A hand for fingers,
And love for every flaw

Untitled
Rockie Oct 2014
Love, hate,
Whisper, dare
Dance, sing,
Kiss, stare
Push, shove,
Pull, it's only fair
Look, shy away,
From that man's lair
You know,
The one with the hair
Kids, jeer,
Point, and lastly *rave

Simple Being
Rockie Oct 2014
I laugh,
I cry,
I sleep,
I weep,
I see,
I hear,
I touch,
I feel,
I eat,
I breathe,
I am,
A simple being

Friendship
Rockie Oct 2014
Through thick and thin,
Broken and unbroken,
Lies, and arguments,
Heartbreak, and heartfelt apologies,
Hugs and bumps along the way,
You can count on shoulders,
To lean on,
To take advice from,
To be loved on,
To be treated,
Like family.

Wake Up
Rockie Oct 2014
If I don't wake up today,
Put me to sleep tomorrow,
If I'm asleep today,
Lay down my sorrow for those who care,
If I never wake up,
Remember my voice as I hummed,
As I comforted,
As I lay you down to rest.

Music
Rockie Oct 2014
Written, sung, and played,
Covered, piano, fingers splayed,
Words that flow, are gentle on the ear,
Ones that bring the eye a tear,
Ones that scream, shout, and cry,
Some people hate,
Others love, and embrace,
What music does,
It calms the heart,
And soothes through the veins,
Pulses to the brain,
And helps to save.

The Road
Rockie Oct 2014
If you were on the road to nowhere,
where would you go?
If you were on the road to somewhere,
would you stay where you are?
If there was no road,
what would you do?
If the road was there,
would you carry on walking?
If the road you walked upon,
was somebody else's,
would you leave?
If the road you took,
leads to the end of yours,
would you bother turning back?
What would YOU do,
if the feet that led you,
took you onto a road,
that you didn't know about?

Creak
Rockie Oct 2014
Stop, the
creak, creak
Listen, to the
creak, creak
Of the silent home, going
creak, creak
Not everything is as it seems,
Hear your steps going
creak, creak
But you're not moving,
creak, creak
What is it?
creak, creak
Anyone there?
creak, creak
You'd expect the
creak, creak
To answer?
creak, creak
Nobody there,
creak, creak
It's an old home,
creak, creak
No it's not
creak, creak
I'm
creak
Going
creak
To
creak
**** you

If
Rockie Oct 2014
If
What if...?
What if we could...?
What if we had to change...?
What if the world needed someone to cry on...?
What if society turned to the misfits and the irreplaceable...?
What if these thoughts swirled and swam and didn't doubt the thinker...?
What if, what if, what if...?

Thicker than Water
Rockie Oct 2014
They say blood is thicker than water,
But what does that really mean?
A poetic line,
A writer's meaning,
A philosophical wisdom,
All because,
Blood is thicker than water.

Watching and Waiting
Rockie Oct 2014
He watched,
She waited,
For the world to say,
'No more wars today'
But that will never happen,
And so,
He carried on watching,
And she carried on waiting.

To Dream
Rockie Oct 2014
What if you were to dream,
And everything was perfect,
Would you wake up,
And think,
'What if I were to dream perfectly again?'

Alpha Wolf
Rockie Oct 2014
The Alpha will call, the omega will join,
Together as one, they sing a song,
All now hunted, because of one fateful calling,
Haunting, yet beautiful, they'll ravage,
They'll break, they'll snap and growl,
Stopping for yet no one,
No one but the Alpha Wolf.

Spoken Words
Rockie Oct 2014
No Spoken Words are needed,
A cup of tea, pen to paper,
finger to keyboard,
I start to write, and words in forms,
That only the reader may understand,
Ever read, ever listen,
To the world that is being whispered into their ear,
May the words being written, produce a whole new world,
And open eyes to the world of unspoken words.

Father's Demise
Rockie Oct 2014
It was all so sudden;

That he carried such heavy burdens;

And nobody knew how grave they were;

Until he passed away;

He left them in his will, you see,

For the whole family tree;

A house, his money, and love;

That's what he left for thee.

Not everybody understands;

But then, what does anyone,

Understand,

About

Her father's death?

Growing Old
Rockie Oct 2014
They grew old,
A story was told,
Of laughter,
Of happiness,
And a story of woe,
But still,
They grew old together,
Loved,
And died.

— The End —
