Shield of 2017
Sam Jan 2017
I walk through the crowded mall, hearing the bustle of the after holiday rush. Everyone is looking for that one deal, or meeting up with their friends one last time before the busyness stirs up again. I, like always, am in my own little world. I see one thing, and my mind goes off on a tangent. Frozen Yogurt!-Oh that reminds me, I'm hungry. When did I eat last? Was it before or after...Oh yeah we met up with Grandma! She was wearing that pretty blue sweater...blue...I had to do something with bl- Then it cycles again. Honestly, I'm pretty used to it, I just kinda deal. I continue to walk, until I reach Hot Topic-my favorite store, of course. So, I go in, shop around. I'm minding my own business...then I hear it. The first note plays and I freeze-I haven't heard this since... anndd we get to the bad part of my mind. The crazy tangents can change my mood in an instant. My mind spins, and it leads to the same place it always does. I just stop and stare. I thought I was done with this-I thought-- Aye-that's where I was mistaken and went wrong. I thought-thinking-thinking is bad, at least in my context. One more thought came into my head...It's 2017.I repeat that over and over again-It's 2017...It's 2017-Why you ask? I'm putting up a shield. Things that happened in 2012, 2014, 2016, etc. They are all behind me. There is no use in holding  a grudge, no use in holding onto the anxieties that worried me then, because I can't physically handle holding onto these. Now, haha, yes-Easier said than done. Because yet again today, I passed a sign, I passed a person, I passed a decoration-and I thought-thought way too much. The thinking I'm doing is not random-I have my reasons, even if those reasons are crazy and insane. Now, some of you may be thinking, Isn't that unhealthy? To block something out of your mind? It will only resurface at a later date and be worse. It's better to face your problem head on, rather than ignoring it. Yes, I've thought about that, and well, it hasn't worked so far...Sooo, I'm thinking everyone has their ways to heal, and I have mine. Maybe one day, I'll be able to listen to that song again. Maybe one day, I'll be able to listen to the  entire album. Baby steps, I continue to move forward. Right now, I put up my Shield of 2017, and continue on my way.

Angering Statements
Sam Nov 2016
"You are so innocent"
"You are so cute when you are angry"
"Oh, shh, you could never hurt anyone"
"You are too nice to do anything bad"
"Awh, look at you trying to be tough"
"Violence and you aren't even remotely related"
"You? Jealous?? But you're life is perfect!!! What more could you ask for???"


oh honey...
You haven't seen anything yet
I hide a side of me, no one is wants to see
Make me jealous, one more time, I dare ya
Hurt my friends, one more time,I dare ya
Break my family, like you've tried, I dare ya
Just if you do, watch your back
Sweet Revenge will be waiting around the corner

Just
You
*Wait
Just little things make me ****** lately.
I know, this isn't good-> I'm afraid I may Ill lash out at the wrong moment. Anger can only be held in for so long....

Fading Faster
Sam Jan 2017
Playing my guitar
the music entangles
in the room around me

Music I try
to spread to you
but it never seems
to reach

This musical bubble
has not been popped
though sometimes I feel
it should be

To stop and think
thinking is usually
bad, yet here
it gives me hope

I think of the saying
I said long ago
to someone who has
a special place
in my heart

I believe in this treasure
because its what
keeps my bubble
from popping

Seven beats
Seven measures
Seven notes
Seven words

Believe in yourself
Believe in who you are
You are you, for a reason

Know you can overcome,
surpass this time
of hardship and darkness

You have the strength
You have the support
to continue forward.

I believe in all of you,
though that may not mean much,
It's the best I can do
for now

I will continue to play my guitar
For you, my friends.
All I can do,
is surround you with
my music.

What I need you to do?
*Don't let the Music within you Fade.
Based upon a poem from a few months ago
Though, this poem reaches to three, rather than one, it still clings to the special meaning it held so long ago.
The structure isn't the best,
but the message is pointed across well i hope.

I'm sorry.

My head travels.

The constant spinning,
The constant cycle.

To analyze is to speculate
To speculate is to hurt
To hurt is to...

Happiness
Sparkling through the body
Excitement
Stretched across the face

Hands
shaking from fear
Mind
whirling with confusion

disappointment
nags at the heart
sadness
resumes it's former place
These emotions probably happened in a span of 1 minute
I guess I just have to take any happiness I can get
but the sadness that overcomes afterwards hurts more than before
...it wasn't for me.

Letter to the Flowers
Sam Dec 2016
No more tangled mess.
Gone are the many days of remorse.
Here lie the final words.

I'm done.
*Goodbye
More of a note-to-self than anything.
It's a gentle(ish) reminder to myself,
to do what i've been telling myself to do
for a long time now. It's time.

My baby
Sam Oct 2016
The little fur ball,
The one who is always excited to see me.
Running, Barking, Playing.

My little brown eyes,
The one who snuggles up to me when I'm sad.
Cuddling, Snuggling, Petting.

My little woof woof,
The one who barks at literally everything, but still makes me laugh.
Jumping, Rolling, Woofing

My pride and joy,
The little ball of fluff that stole my heart five years ago,
with his little woofs,
his sweet little face.

Even though the little nut is so much to handle,
He will forever and always will be,
*my baby

Country Lights
Sam Nov 2016
The smell of sweet honey wisps over.
Golden hue of the autumn evenings filter over the moment.

'Cause you took these two left feet...

Music plays in the trees,
being carried by the warm soft breeze.

And waltzed away with my heart...

Sounds of happiness fall over,
Spinning in the tall chestnut grass.

No, I don't dance, but here I am...

Smiles form, never receding.
Pure joy fills the hearts of many.

Spinning you round and round in circles...

Laughter melts the pain away,
as the warmth of the sun falls behind the barn.

It ain't my style, but I don't care...

Shadows dance in the evening light,
like the twinkling reflection of the stars in her eyes.

I'd do anything with you anywhere...

The country moonlight illuminates the dirt road,
continuing endlessly, like the love stretched between two.

Yes, you got me in the palm of your hand, girl...

Trucks glide under the southern sky,
Kicking up dust through the fields.

'Cause I don't dance...

Laying under the dazzling ***** of fire,
Hand in hand, Heart to Heart.

*No, I don't dance.
Inspired by my Grandma's favorite song

sort of a tribute to her being as awesome as she is <3

Analize
Sam Oct 2016
I read the book,
I wrote the notes and I interpreted.
I came in to school,
and the teacher told me wrong.
I my interpretation was totally off,
even though I had resonable proof for my assumptions.
I just don't see, what others see,

Regretful
Sam Oct 2016
I try, I can't
Everything is heavy all around.
I'm getting lost.
I fall, I stumble
I continue on, like nothing is wrong.
I'm losing.
I stop, I stare
I can't, Not anymore.
I lost.
I was told freshman year, that if I kept working as hard as I did, then I would eventually burn out. I didn't believe the teacher. Well, today, I've hit my point. Right now, I honestly could care less. I regret my decision to not follow what I was told.
Advice to anyone reading: Have balance in your life, I was told to do so, I did not listen. Save yourself while you still have the chance, otherwise before you know it,  it will all feels like nothing.

Knowledge is Power
Sam Mar 2017
It's funny to recall...
how people act,
how people think,
how people change...
People don't change, or rather, they learn.
Some people learn too often, and mold into an image that isn't their own,
Some people never learn, and that's just how they were raised,
Some people learn, but never use that knowledge to expand...
That knowledge is precious, more than any possession.
Sam Oct 2016
We are friends, and will only be friends.
A part of me regrets my decision,
Us as a couple,
We both liked each other,
We kissed, sparks flew.
But, never forget the power that has.
Relationships have the power to grow apart.
Friendships grow strong, harder to break.
I will miss the gibberish, I will miss the hearts.
But in the end, I wont be missing you,
because I will have you,
You will be there when I need you,
You will be there when I fall.
Our friendship has grown forever strong.
I love you mostest
September 14, 2016
I question to myself
why did I ever let things escalate again?
If I hadnt, would I be in the situation Im in now?
Hurting, all I want to do is pick up my phone, call, text do something
But I cant
Nobody allows me to
but god ****** thats all i want to do
I texted her 24/7, I didn't text anyone else that much
my phone feels empty
i feel empty
like a hole was ripped out from me

I break in cycles
the cycles are getting farther apart, and by that i mean more sadness.
The realization is setting in, the fact that she wont ever talk to me again
that i said two weeks, but she meant forever
It hurts so much that expressing it has...no words.

I honestly could care less if you are reading this right now, i know you dont follow me, so thats a lesser chance of you reading this. I needed to vent this out somewhere, and you have always said not to censor

Things can just...happen

I would never purposely do these actions,
because I neither have the effort,
nor care enough, honestly,
But these things that occur
just happen to be extremely satisfying
Little things that make me smile,
Things that make me laugh
I guess you could say that with
Satisfaction, it just kinda

Yellow rays shine through the clouds,
feeling the warmth on the skin.
Daffodils and roses bloom in the garden,
The colors forever held in.

Smiles for miles
Laughter and Joy

Life, Light, Happiness
Brightly shown through.
No saddness, No hurt
A whole other view.

Never have I felt this much happiness,
for someone else.
I love seeing other people happy. This sounds sarcastic, but I'm being dead serious. Especially if I somehow aided in making them happy.
Just knowing of happiness makes me happy

If you're around happy people, you'll find yourself pretty joyful. It's a blessing to have them in my life. :)

The one who I trust for anything,
The one who I tell everything,
The one who knows all,
but never judges me.

The one who trusts me,
The one who has my back,
The one who I am here for,
and doesn't push me away.
The one? Or the many? I cannot choose.

I can't keep up with the bullets flying by me.

Would you even care?

Life
Sam Nov 2016
Life is so fragile.
Even the act of silence can shatter it's very existence.

It wasn't me.
I didn't know her,
but I could have.

It makes me think-what if...

You were gone,
due to my ignorant self,
who hid your harm from the adults.

You were gone,
because I removed the glass,
that protected you from the 100 ft drop.

You were gone,
due to a simple night out,
that caused you to slip back to old habits.

You were gone,
because I wasn't there to help,
and talk you down from the edge.

You were gone,
due to my lack of knowledge,
and misunderstanding of the situation.

You were gone,
because of an accident,
that made you lose control.

What if you were gone

It could have been me picking up the phone,
giving a cheerful hello on the dreary day,
only to have my soul shatter, when the news was given.

It could have been me thinking of what I did wrong,
asking just to hear a voice, a whisper,
something acknowledging existence-Only to be given no answer.

Life is so fragile.
Why must we add to the cracks in the glass of another person's life?
Things happen that force you to reflect deeply and see the big picture.
>"You" is a call to more than one individual<

You out there->If you are reading this, Don't you ever become an angel before it's time, okay?
The ground needs you, the earth needs you, I need you <3.

Would make things so much easier.
I could know what to wish for,
without me being broken in the end.
I could know who to follow,
So I wouldn't go anywhere I didn't want to.
I could know what to do,
In times like this when confusion sets in,
and I don't know if what i'm thinking,
Is correct.
I hate to make myself hopeful,
for things that won't come true.
But I can't shake it off.
I don't know,
I will never know,

Yes probably, But not for sure
I dont know

Mahogany Shadow
Sam Nov 2016
Every move I make,
the shadow lurks in the distance.
The faster I walk,
the faster it follows.

I feel scolding hot passion,
the shadow's warmth surrounds my existence.
Filters of scarlet, ruby, and carmine penetrate my sight,
it's inside, it's taken over.

Possessive cover, my body goes numb,
the shadow's taking me away.
Through the crimson view, I see my feet, my hands,
they move in directions I have no control.


I'm walking towards the noise, the unforgettable noise. It screams. Branches fall, pushing it's wrath closer to my doom. I walk straight. I can't stop, I can't turn around. *I'm walking into a fire, nothing can save me at this point.

Happy Holidays
Sam Dec 2016
You never know what you have, until it's lost.
Enjoy the Holidays, Enjoy every bit of the family, friends, and happiness you can get.
It is something that should be cherished and treasured forever, because it won't last for eternity. Hold onto what you can, let go what you must let go. Some gifts are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared. Others are meant to be kept to yourself. Take time and reflect to see which ones in your life are which. Its a tough decision, but in the end, you will feel so much better. Plus, always remember there are people everywhere that will help wrap your present, whether you want them to just hold the tape, or to walk you through the entire process. The present will get wrapped, and you will be able to wrap on your own someday, but it takes time to learn, to build up strength. Have the courage to ask others to help, they will be overjoyed to help tie the bow. So as you sit by the fireplace this holiday season, take time to take care of yourself, to appreciate the gift of life you have. The gift that was given to you years ago. You are the beautiful shimmering present tied in a red bow that everyone admires under the Christmas Tree. You, are the best thing that could've happened to me. And don't you ever forget that. I love each and every person who is reading this-Never forget your beauty, your happiness, your strength. Whatever you are going through, you can get through. Whatever you are stuck on, it will pass. You have the courage and strength to move on, I know you do.
*I believe in you.
and for all my people out there who don't celebrate Christmas, You are as important, and you can do everything above. I know you can.

Everyone please stay safe and healthy during this holiday season. It can be a time of great happiness, but for others it can cause deep sadness, and can be a major trigger.  Be careful what you say, and watch out for people who look alone, who look upset. To those you will want to show them love and care. Even if you don't know what happened, even if they are a complete stranger, show love, and it can make their day.
You never know what a small smile could do,
it could change their world.

Happy Holidays everyone, I love you all.

Face of the Faceless
Sam Oct 2016
Our minds, our bodies, our souls.
Belittled are we,
Smothered are we,
Crushed are we.

A hot fire melts through our backs,
as the glares burn holes in our minds.
It fuels the fire in our souls,
the rage in our hearts.

Heat rises creating painful burns,
scarring our canvas,
leaving permanent emptiness,
in the hopelessness and despair.

Rage never dissipates.
It grows as it's fed,
adding kindling to the anger,
that blazes inside our body.

It melts us,
It ruins us.
It defaces,

The darkened side, will always stay.

and stand up for who you are.
Don't break yourself down,
It's not worth it.
Trust me, my dear child,

Don't make the mistake I did,
and drown in the waters.

and bruising from the rapids.
Don't let the wall of rocks,

Instead, climb the crumbling wall,

Reactions Spill Over

I read it,
I can’t,
I mean--It’s exactly how I felt with her.
I can’t decide if I should cry out of emotion, or just do nothing.
It is so relatable and so precise.
To me, my feelings, how I felt getting over her.
It found the hole in my heart that wasn’t filled and dug deeper.
I keep re-reading it,
I keep thinking, who,
Who is this she is chasing, while I am chasing her.
It’s an everlasting cycle, the chaser and the chasee
Always wanting what isn’t available
Always wanting what someone else already has their eyes on,
Knowing she is gone.
Gone, can never be caught for your own,
Just out of reach,
So close, but yet,
So far.

Frozen Words
Sam Dec 2016
I think you forgot, one tiny little picture,
I have the power to hold the elixir.
I have the power to be me, for me.
To just be the person I want to be.
Step back, look, at what you've done.
You are the only one, that's left with the gun.
The gun with bullets, that pierce the soul,
with ice cold words, with which you stole.
You stole the happiness, of what we had left,
Leaving everyone with nothing but color bereft.
If black and white is all you see,
then I guess you've never seen the real me.
or the real others, for that matter of fact,
because to you, we are nothing, but abstract.
The rainbow stretches far beyond your eyes,
You'll never make us meet our demise.
Let us be, who we want to be,
Let us see, who we want to see.
I am gay, woe is me,
*I can be, who I want to be.

Memories
Sam Jan 2017
Those wood covered walls, water damaged floors, torn up carpets
hold memories.
That candy wrapper, that's been there for three years,
The office where deep conversations where held early into the morning
The old birch tree which friends and family gathered around
The hill on which children sleigh, speeding down almost to the road

Smoke fills the air with the roaring fireplace,
day in, day out.
until the departure day
the smoke clears, the memories are pushed aside
Bustling, Hustling to rush out

Rushing too fast to enjoy the last moments,
*moments you can never get back.
My family vacations every year at a home in Vermont. I've been going since I was born. My uncle recently decided to sell the place. My parents are also talking about selling the campsite on which ive grown up on every summer. So many memories are from these places. I know, things must change...but I hate change. Why do I have to grow up? I want to keep coming to Vermont, keep going to Faun Lake. The more I grow, the more I am forced to leave behind. I absolutely hate it.

Confirmation is always hard.

Trust me baby,

I promise to you,

Just think of us
together at last,
to help you through
the rough days past.
The time to come
seems so far away, because
I want you in my arms
forever to stay.
My girl, my world
I'm here for you.
I will never get over
my sparkling view.
Your eyes, they shine
like the moon and the stars,
Showing deep lasting love
that is rightfully ours.
They show me the light,
the everlasting thrill,
For I love you my dear
and forever I will.
If you ever forget
just look to the moon,
because baby, don't fret,
it shall be over soon.

Hauntingly Beautiful
Sam Nov 2016
The days still haunt me.
Thoughts pass my mind,
as a ghost travels through the narrow halls.
They won't stop.
The more I block them out,
the more they creep back.
One by one, I push them back,
two by two they travel forward.
Haunting my every image.
Showing up everywhere,
especially at the worst times.
Nobody else believes in ghosts,
so I cannot speak, my mouth stays shut.
I will eventually be able to coexist with the ghosts,
that is the true goal.
However for now,
I sit and wait during the endless possession that lies ahead of me.
Not really sure if this is a good poem,
but things were haunting my brain,
I needed to write
Sam Nov 2016
Mama always said to share.
Share food, share toys
Share kind words.

I did what Mama says.
I shared everything.
I shared my words, my love.

Mama told me to keep sharin'.
I shared my belongings, my life.
I shared my all.

Mama never said anythin' 'bout bein' careful.
Being careful of sharing too much.
That's a thing?

Mama always said to share.
If I give away all of me,
I see smiles on the faces of others.

I did what Mama says.
If I give away all of me,
What parts are left to prosperous?

Mama told me to keep sharin'
All of my puzzle pieces,
Until everyone was happy.

Mama never said anythin' 'bout bein' careful of myself
*Mama never warned me 'bout this
Yes it was intentional

Forgotten
Sam Jan 2017
Left behind,
Dust kicked in my face
as the lights of the pick-up
fade away in the darkness.

Frozen by shock and confusion,
So stiff that tears refuse to flow
under the royal blue sky
pondering on the adjacent events.

Hearing the eerie sounds,
Birds fly overhead following as
beauteous stars stretch above, yet
those lights don't cross my mind.

Touching the rough dirt,
Listening to the wind the
music travels from a distance
too far to make out the tune.

Lost in the wilderness,
No help for miles on end
forced to walk forward
with the world on my chest.

The sun starts to rise,
Feeling the cool breeze of the morning
Purple catches my eye
Dancing in the light.

One, lone flower,
As vibrant as the neon sign
alone in the wilderness,
left behind.

Start Over
Sam Sep 2016
Looking into the distance,
Forever wondering what comes next.
A whole world of possibilities lay ahead,
The only thing that stands in the way is my head,
Telling me what to do, what not to do,
But it makes it very confusing.
"We all want what we ain't got"
So let's enjoy what we have now.
Forget what has happened in the past,
And move forward.
The past can not be changed,
no matter how bad you want it to.
My best advice to you?
Start over, start fresh.
Every year we get this opportunity.
Take advantage of it.
Today, I have mine.

Run

The rush through my veins
The newness of everything around me
The terrifying moments to come,
but comfort and reliance of one
never to give in, never to back down.

*Poem may be revised*
I wrote a poem, 5 months ago today.
A poem I never thought I'd read again, something I put in the archives and never once believed that I'd see it in front of me again.
Here it is, today in my hands. I stare at the screen, because I don't know what else to become of it. To think how far I've come since that was written, to think of where I would be if it had never been inspired.
Emotion is felt in those harsh words, as I glance over them one more time. They speak to present day me, in a way I can't quite put a finger on. It is neither good nor bad, just, a feeling. I can remember being confused when I wrote it, and more so now as I read it. There are some things I guess you just never forget, ya know? The words said to me, will never be forgotten, because those are the words, who bring me to where I am today. The funny thing is, they came from the person you'd last expect, but hey, I have to have somebody to thank, because if those words never passed their lips...
I wouldn't have had the last 5 months.

Apology Accepted?
Sam Sep 2016
I'm sorry.
I wish I hadn't,
because then I wouldn't be this deep.
I'm sorry.
I wish I had,
because then I could see clearer.
I'm sorry.
I wish in general,
because it only leads to confusion.
I'm sorry.
I wished for you,
because it only lead to heartbreak.
I'm sorry.
I let go,
because I now am lost.
I'm sorry.*
I'm sorry.
After realizing I cant change this back to private, please ignore my lil dramatic self.

Forgotten?
Sam Dec 2016
I know I was wrong.
Am I ever going to forget? No.
Still, my mind races, everyday.
In the past, I never saw myself at this point.
Love is strong, Love is powerful,
With anyone, or anything, especially family.
You are the only thing keeping me sane.

Speak, child, Speak.
For I try to help,
with what I do not know.

Tell, brother, Tell.
What I can do,
to stop the pain you feel.

Scream, sister, Scream.
At me for all the things,
I have done you wrong.

Say, dear, Say.
Things to my identity,
So I can hear what is deserved.

Speak, child, Speak.
For I cannot help,
with what I do not know.

Productivity
Sam Oct 2016
All relative.
I do many things,
My head races a mile a minute,
Maybe I'm not productive by society's view,
But I feel as though I am myself.
I am looking after myself and others,
I do things I deem as important.
Society makes everything important,
Why must I rank my priorities?
If only I could handle everything,
Then I could finally stay productive.
