I'm feeling entangled, snared by the life.
I can't see to breathe, even though i have the breath to,
I want to become somebody else, even though it's a new year,
I can't help but seem so down, so low.
I don't want to be here, but i need to stay here for them.
them isn't a person who i can feel,
it's the person inside who doesn't want to give up,
i don't have much this year,
just a lot of untangled fear

with the year ending,
i have a confession,
what do i really want in life,
keep me steady, rowing this boat,
down the river, keeping me afloat,
lift me up, reel me in again and again,
keep me up, i am not steady again,
i'm peaking on adrenaline,
down the river, over the ocean,
i don't want to drown today, so
lift me up, keep afloat
don't let me fall down,
patch the holes, in this ship,
that i call home,
make me smile, and make me cheer,
for what i've got to give,
so i can't row myself around this bend,
i want to soar, like the sea birds
don't let me swim with sharks,
until i've spend my all,
don't let me drown again,
and wallow in my tears,
just lift me up, keep me afloat
and keep me rowing down the riverbend
so lift me up, until my untimely end

can i not just get away,
from the looks that you play
I can't help but stare,
as you leave me for them,
what did i do wrong,
friend of mine,
what did i say to hurt you,
was it really my fault,
when you asked me my opinion,
others are different, and so are mine,
what did i do wrong,
friend of mine,
was that day that i left town to see you,
and crashed the car,
i thought we laughed about that,
friend of mine,
what did do wrong,
friend of mine,
what was my crime, against you
was my duties wrong, was i at fault,
what did i do to lose you,
friend of mine,
i thought we would be together forever
friends may end with 'end'
but i don't want it to,
friend of mine,
what can i do,
because whatever i did wrong
i'll make it up to you

I want to fly away, farther than anyone,
quicker than a bullet, in the bright summer sun,
but they keep me down to Earth,
hidden by the atmosphere,
why i can't i fly away with them,
away with my dear,
I keep holding on to a person who is gone,
i keep trying to rekindle what is forever gone,
but if i try then maybe they will come back to me
possibly, only maybe, they will love me

I'm questioning my sanity
questioning me,
questioning why i like this person
I like them for hopes and personality,
not for their looks and beauty,
she likes to dress up as other people,
and go party with her friends,
but i'm always here when she comes back,
and the cycle starts again

Deep inside another level, my character swings a sword
of bravery and hope, death to the dark that scorns us,
while some might run and hide away, from this adventure
I wish to stay and fight another battle, to help save the day
I wear armor of some degree, of steel and golden chivalry,
Walking along a path of stone, untold and unconfined  
as weary as i am, and how sore i am, but can hold me back
as i am a soldier, to fight my own battles and protect those can't
I am a warrior for peace and hope, something i don't know about

I wish i could just let it out, all my fears are just crystalized inside me
My sentences are longer, words shorter, the length doesn't matter
I hold my breathe, take it in, the scene before me happening again
I leave quickly, my heart beating, my fear raising, my hands shaking
I want to forget seeing that, suffering on another's hand, a red spot
On the cheek of someone who wants to forget, I want to forget
I don't want the bonds of society holding me down, nor the words
I don't want the judge to look at me and say "guilty" to my face
I stand in winter, stand in ice, in the frost crawling up, freezing me
To this place I stand, alone and cold, frightened of what's ahead,
I can't go home, as i don't know where it is anymore, i'm alone
I sit on a staircase outside an apartment, sidewalk barren
Cars brushing by, quick and heavy, one step and the end of my story
I don't want to die, but i don't want to live, can't you understand?
And if i ever take that stand, in front of that judge to say my part,
What would i ever say, what would i ever do, if its my crime,
but if it's not my crime entirely, taking the stand as alone as ever,
My partner gone, the room empty, just the judge and me, alone then
So if that judge does look at me and says "innocent", what would i do
Would i just go free, back to plain ,back to normal, and idiotic sayings
I hope not, because, I am guilty as everyone else is, of pain and lies
Blood and sweat, tears strolling down, feeling emotionless,
We have all felt that moment, of all these combined,
My fears are shared by society, shredded by people, laughed at
I'm scared of myself, being myself, look at others with complete truth
So i will never raise my hand, i won't speak or lie or care,
because my fear is just too great, my life is just too small
It's so small, so incomplete, i feel so gone, so alone
Standing on the sidewalk, moving slow and mournful,
reaching the edge, the curve, the *****, the mountain to climb
If i step into the lane, the cars, would i be forgotten, like others
Would i be like the rain that comes down and ,we notice it sure,
But forget what it gives us, would i just be the puddle after
would i be an ad in the newspaper claiming a sad tale,
I'd just be a story to tell to people about the community,
Forgotten like half of history, lied about by people who didn't know
I'd be just a story afterwards, but if i turn and walk down the street
Would i ever succeed at something, make my way to the courthouse
and say to that judge on the podium, "You don't get to decide"
what would happen, to me, to others, to us as people entirely,
And so i walk on, sludging through everyday life, concerned
Yes, i may trip and stay down for a few minutes,
but i will get up and walk on until i get to that courthouse,
And am able to say my piece to the judge
as we all are the problem
and i would say,
"Judge, we are all guilty"
wow look a vent poem thing
