I tried

I tried to it good,
great, or excellent,
tho it was hated, but
At least I tried

I tried to bring them
up, but they just punched
me down, again, but
At least I tried

I tried to make it right,
I tried to stop the fight,
I didn't bring success, but
At least I tried

At least I tried

Swellness, goodness,
happiness

They're things I can
not see, they're invisible
to me and my eyes

All I see is sadness,
loss, and sorrow, things
people wouldn't borrow

No one's there to bring me
up, no one to bring me joy

This is my life
This is not actually my life
James Nov 2018
I want to stay
strong, through
all this winter

But you ***** my
strength making
want to fly away

You took it like a
bandit, when you
picked it like a rose
thorn

You said I was fine,
that is not your
decision, this is
my decision

From now on I,
make my own
decisions, because
you pricked me like
a rose thorn

You pricked me like
a rose thorn
This never actually happened, I just a good topic for an emotional poem.
War
James Nov 2018
War
Away from pain,
freedom gain
Awaken war,  
lost all gain

War, brings sore,
and gore, right to
poor, and door

Glory write story,
thought to be
illusory, negotiatory,
or fraud

Tho see glory happened
after the end of story
James Nov 2018
There's always things
that need to be done,
before I can get some
sleep

I need to do homework,
I need to write essays
I need to finish schoolwork

But, I need to sleep, I want
to sleep, sleep is all I want
or need

I need to sleep,
I want to sleep,
Sleep will help
me not be tired

With sleep, we do
great things, even
more good things
happen

When you get to sleep
When you get to sleep
This is a poem, not a protest for less homework.
