Poems can be depressing
this one won't be distressing
I'm looking out my window it's truly a blessing
Green is still on the ground even though the trees are brown
In my house the dryer is the only sound
I'm glad I'm home not home bound
This was short and sweet
And now that the poem is complete
I'm going to kick back in my seat

It's not you, it's the situation
That I've been in time and time again
It hurts knowing I'm putting this on you
Yet my feelings I cannot subdue
Saying sorry, I know is not enough
The situation we're in I know is tough
My heart is broken, I am broken down
I'm hoping that you will stick around
Actions speak louder than words
Expect mine to be obscure
It's not me it's the situation
That I've been in time and time again
I love you til the very end

So uncaring
Why are you staring
Why does it matter what she's wearing
Look at her eyes, see her heart sharing?
Put your shoes away and try on this pair
Then you'll feel the pain of the stare
The pain of rejection, the lack of air
Know that she hurts cause you don't care
Sad but true
I wouldn't want to be you

It's been a long road, my life
Dead ends, twists, accidents, adrenalin
Many mixed signs I used to follow
Mostly ending in a jack knife
I keep going
Nothing will stop me from trying
Signs are now more familiar
My vehicle I am flooring
See the smoke?
And the marks?
I know, they are dark
The breeze I left might be cold, need a coat?
I hope you're buckled in and by my side
On my drive

Cooped up all day
Watching the birds in flight
Jealousy runs through my veins
Thinking about my flesh in sunlight
Crisp fresh air
Wind blowing around my hair
Cheeks cool to the touch but I don't care
I need fresh air
Duty calls
And so I must comply
I think a part of me just wants to die

Pretend is what you'll always be
until you've lost all you have
then real is what you'll see
tired of the *******
**** me!

I want to write but my thoughts are twisted together
I hate this feeling of confusion
my head aches and I have to let it out
but I can't find the words to say
so again I'm sitting empty and lonely
and I just want someone to hold me
nevermind it's pointless, just *******
cause nothing is real anymore
and in my mind I've gone mad
                      DAM MAD
