College Guy
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
Man oh Man
We’ve had a great run
Glad none of us ended up with a son
We started off confused and dumb
Drunk listening to that big *** bass drum
Not knowing where to get the ***** or bud
Drinking some ****** alcoholic mud
We’ve had plenty of laughs
I could show you the numbers on the graphs
A few weird roommates along the way
But still not hoping for May
Finals ****** even with the addy
Us all guys hoping the girls call us daddy
Graduation came really really fast
I couldn’t have got better friends if I asked
Now it’s not time to say goodbye
Hold your tears don’t cry
It’s just a see ya later
When we’re all greater

Nature vs Manmade
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I saw a flower
So miniscule compared to a tower
But it’s beauty so superior
The tower so inferior
Though a piece of art
Created by someone so smart
But a flower wasn’t designed
Nor created by mankind
Instead a natural piece
It’s life only a temporary lease
Nothing is forever
Nor constant, always an unpredictable endeavor
But that’s the beauty
Nature’s easily attainable duty
The want, the need, to continue on
As we look forward towards the next dawn

Out of Their Comfort Zone
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
Natural Originality
With a crazy mentality
Creates a wicked Individuality

When not attached to any wires
It can spread like a wild fire
And it inspires

For those who aren’t afraid
Will be made
Others will have prayed

That they won’t become just another clone
That they were put out of their comfort zone
And one day these people will be well known

Love is an infestation
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
Your beauty is undeniable
I’ll always be reliable
Starting with your smile
Bright enough from a mile
You’re down to earth
Even past the bottommost spec of dirt
Your mind so pure
Easily the sorrow cure
I must confess
Why I believe I’m blessed
I’m your foundation
And Salvation
From that foundation you arise
From yours so do I
Spiraling beyond that blue sky
After that last faint good bye
It's simple love is an infestation
Uncontrollable and even Endurable through incarceration

It is all on you
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
You must work really hard
To reach the most pristine view
It is all on you

This is Everyone's Job
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
What are people doing?
What are people pursuing?
This senseless violence is sad.
I don’t give a **** if you’re mad.
I don’t care about your race
or if you’ve got a pretty face
I don’t care how much money you make,
because you could easily be fake.
You don’t have the right to oppress,
even if you’re dealing with a huge mess.
There is no reason to hurt someone
What if it was your loved one
Everyone has a duty,
to improve this innocent raw beauty.
Now trust me, it’s worth your time.
I can guarantee, it will improve your prime.
Doing some cause and affect.
You can see your method is incorrect
Just look at history, its not pretty
It’s like a scary deadly city
It’s despicable and gritty
Overpopulated with death and destruction
With no positive construction
Our society is now old
Our society should not be that cold
I'll tell you my goal
It’s to dig us out of this hole
During my lifetime
I want to begin a never ending peacetime
Where we concentrate on science and art
Where we all can have fun taking part

This is everyone's job.

Warm White Sand
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
An atmospheric calm
In the shade under the palms
A refreshing salty sea breeze
The warm white sand of the Florida keys
Gentle waves approach the shore
Probably take a nap till four
Happy hour at five
Stunning! We all arrive
Ready to dance on the stage
We’re living up our golden age
Our feet now tire
We’ll head to the beach campfire

When time runs out
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
What’s going to happen when time runs out?
Will we beg for life as if there was a drought?
Every year goes quicker and quicker.
Please, please slow down the ticker.
Yes the people of my generation are young.
Yes we have we many years on this world among.
So why do the years feel like they’re slipping away.
I really just want everyone to stay

You are amazing
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
You, you and you
Why do you seem blue?
Must I say you’re amazing
Now trust me, I’m not the only one that is praising
You have already beaten the odds
You are alive not from the gods
But you and your strong persistent ancestry
You and them have this unique chemistry
So powerful, that you are alive during the present
Which has so much more value than every cent
Your will makes you capable
Which brings you to a fate that is inescapable
A fate that leads you to greatness
Built from a foundation of moral straightness

Thank you to the Freaks
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I would like say thank you to the freaks
Thank you to those who chose the road not taken.
You are the leaders, the trendsetters.
Even with fear your curiosity was stronger.
It is them that have brought us into the future
It is the mutants that have evolved us.
Through a random mutation we are **** Sapiens
So I say thank you to the freaks
I hope I'm a freak

Lost
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I can easily get lost
Just in my mind
It’s elaborate vibrant and vast
It’s every memory in my past
Filled with my predictions for the future
Goals dreams aspirations too
My worries and fears
All the times I shed a tear
These paths all intertwine
Creating this entangled knot
But somehow I sleep peacefully on a cot
I think it’s because even though I dream
During the day or night
I still have this objective sight

On My Mind
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I need to get something off my chest.
Otherwise it’s going to crush me if I rest.
This maybe my ultimate test
Just like leaving my mother celeste
I must tell you what’s on my mind.
The words are so, so hard to find.
Here’s what I have to say.
I thought about this a lot while I lay.
Now please apologize
Because I know that you can recognize,
What you have done
I know that it’s a lot easier to run
I know that you feel guilt
I know that there is still good that has been built
In your heart there still remains yang
So let’s not end this with a disastrous bang

The dream
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
The dream
To be happy while you flow down the stream
Now this dream isn’t just sitting around
It’s up above on top of this monstrous Mound
And I understand I have to work
Even if it’s sometimes a knee ****
Nothing should be handed over to me
Nature obviously agrees
I want to be my best
And pass my test
The goal is to get high
Not just from that green ***** in the sky
But by natural pride
The feeling you get when you’ve really tried
You take that last advance
You’re drowned in excitement you might even dance
You feel thump-thump
Your heart filled with adrenaline just before a ski jump
You know deserve it
Because of the hours you’ve spent in the pit
Even if you lost your goal
You still gained some heart and soul
But eventually you’ll realize it’s worth the time
So you can keep up improving your prime.

Tomorrow
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
Tomorrow greets us with promise
Said your good friend Thomas
You asked “Why is that?”
Simple we’ll have a good chat
On top of the mountain
We’ll drink from mother earth’s natural fountain
It will be fresh, natural, and cool
A great way to keep our fuel
Then we’ll look at the stars
Point out, our brother Mars
We’ll restore and respect the beauty
Because that is our simple duty
We’ll leave and be calm
The complete utter opposite of an atomic bomb

But I'm willing to help
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I see that you’re alone
In agonizing pain you groan
Now I don’t know the cause
But I’m willing to help for a long pause
You see I’ve been there
Backed up into a corner
The only way out forward
I’ll give you a helping hand
I’ll create a foundation for you to stand
I just ask you do not forget this
You help someone else without a wince
Simply because they need it
I know your action will transmit
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
My love and I,
Stare at the sky.
Trying to grasp
The size we only can gasp.
Thankfully the refreshing spring air
Rushes us with calm care
Now we can finally take in the view
We can watch the clouds pass through
On top of a hill with soft grass
We gently close our eyes and pass

Daily frustration
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I am your biggest enemy
That annoying disruptive archenemy
I am the devil’s advocate
The answer that can’t wait
I am the, what if, that cannot
That heart dropping second thought
I am that itch you can’t reach
That dreaded wedding speech
I am the chair leg that stubs your toe
The dreadful bad hair day photo
I am the daily agonizing frustration
But these moments give me this admiration
To be happy and thankful for those times
That make it worth wild to live a lifetime.

Baffled
Brandon Amberger Dec 2015
I am baffled by your belief
That you actually think you’re just
That you have this idea to become commander in chief
Don’t count my vote; you do not have my trust
Though you’re intelligence is incredible
Which makes it that more ridiculous
Your everyday actions are certainly not credible
What scares me is that you are even meticulous
Because if you are aware of your actions
Then that makes you cruel and unsuitable
I believe that you’ll only care about a small fraction
Since you’re smart you can see the logic is irrefutable
Take a moment to see, how you make people feel
There you will see what you perceive is not real
Brandon Amberger Nov 2015
I am the sun without shade
My presence shall never fade
When I see you cry
I wonder why
What caused you to tear?
My darling you should have no fear
You are under my protection
Your love in me is like a deadly infection
In every cell atom and my soul
I would escape the largest black hole
For you are my heart beat
The sweetest most desirable treat

We shall put on a mask
Brandon Amberger Nov 2015
Everyday we shall put on a mask
To hide the misery of doing our daily task
Instead of being ourselves we will conform
Inside lies the most violent storm
We shall hide from the truth
We have not been ourselves since our youth
We shall not enjoy the childish pleasures
Instead we’ll concentrate on meaningless treasures
When we get to that age
We’ll be disappointed and in rage
That we weren’t gutsy or brave
That we were just a pawn just a slave
offshoot from we wear the mask from Paul Laurence Dunbar

Tip of the iceberg
Brandon Amberger Nov 2015
When I look at you
I see past the tip of the iceberg
For some reason you hide your potential
And I am truly puzzled
I know what you’re meant to be
What you have the potential to be
And it is beautiful
I pray you take a leap of faith
Because I know you will not fall
You will spread your wings
Catch the breeze and sail
Brandon Amberger Nov 2015
When I look into my reflection
I stare at every imperfection
I appear broken, even shattered
All of me in bits and pieces scattered
From the lack of understanding and compassion
These human instincts were once in fashion
Unfortunately greediness, laziness and corruption got hold
Our society became bitter and cold
Where we have this need to conform
Too afraid to practice a passionate art form
Instead we are this predictable bleak gray
Just waiting to die and decay

So I say...
**** THAT! I'm living my life, my way!

It's my time

Yeah, It’s just to think

So I don’t sink
It’s my time

At First Glance
Brandon Amberger Oct 2015
At First Glance

Took one look and I fell in love
Kept looking for her around the club
I was thinking to myself Wow what a dove
Hoping maybe we could smoke a dub
I finally got the ***** to go to talk her  
Nothing could stop me not even a wicked song
Started a conversation found she was a transfer
I was hoping this night would be very long
Got her number and guarded it with my life
The next day I told my friends They asked “what’s the sight”
In my mind hoping some day that she’ll be my wife
I replied “Guys that isn’t right” there was almost a fight
I explained too them this is a sign of fate
I finally called her that afternoon
Praying that she new I wasn’t just trying to mate
I asked her out on the very first day of June
I was so nervous; worried that she might think I’m a fool
She explained to me that she came here for a whole new slate
It turned out that she thought I was cool
  I was thinking to myself she’s my soul mate
Six months went by so fast
I bought a ring my parents thought I was a buffoon
I proposed after a play with an all-star cast
Under the light of a magnificent blue moon
50 years later people asked us how we made it so far
We told them there have been mountains we climbed
Almost all of them gave us scars
Some of them even came ill timed
We pushed on though and knew
Our love is pure and true

Internal Battle
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
An internal battle, that takes a hefty toll
On your friends and yourself goals
The ying the yang
A loud disastrous bang
Caused by irresistible forces colliding
Then a great dividing
Now into the abyss
This time is bliss
Only time to revive
Now feeling even more alive
At last finding balance
And your exceptional talents

The cruise
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
Just reached the summit
The adrenaline building up for the plummet
Strap in to start the cruise
Headphones in, listening to my tunes
Now scanning the powdery terrain
I’m flying like a jet engine plane
Take off on the jump
My knees take the big thump,
Up ahead, there’s the rail
The momentum gives me the power to sail
Almost busting I gain my stability
Now I got my mobility
Carving back and forth
Now at dusk I see my guide north
My ride ending to a near
I get excited for that frosty beer
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
Lately I’ve been in a depression
Too resolve I need a form of expression
I’m upset because of my expectations
These expectations arise many speculations
I wonder if my expectations are too high
All I do is simply rely
On the fact that people will do the right thing
Even if its as simple as pushing someone on a swing
Is that asking too much?
If that’s the case, people have lost their touch.
People need to do things for the right reasons.
Not just during the holy season.
Even in religion doing the right thing is rewarded.
You’ll go too heaven because you believe God has you recorded
That isn’t right, because you should do it without any recognition
Even if it’s against your tradition
My friends say that with these beliefs I will be trampled
But if one person gets a sample
I know that I have been successful
And I will die without being stressful

Twelfth Night
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
Love an uncontrollable force
An infestation
That has no remorse
Can be that best duration
Of your blessed life
Or as piercing
As that diamond in crested knife
No sugar coating it’s fierce
But when it is right
It’s comparable to that twelfth night

Shackles
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
We lay in shackles
While the wood crackles
From the fire that consumes
And engrosses the world with fumes
Of desperation, and pity
A self-destructive species that thinks it’s witty
We look upon the stars
As if the world was a buried jar
With the slippery glass there’s no way out
Just an overwhelming drought
Billy would say we didn’t start it
A common answer that appears to be legit
But isn’t it our duty?
To protect this innocent raw beauty
To uphold the ideals we see fit
Or has the human race quit

The Guide
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
The Guide
As constant as the tide
Holds the light
And uses the sight
Directs us through hell
So you can catch the swell
The Guide pushes us on
Towards the next dawn
Because something awaits
That decides our fates
We’ll ***** we’ll complain
But the guide will help us cope with the pain
The Guide will get us up
Just in time to catch the bus
So we stay on track
And will never let us hold back

Internal Corruption
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
Internal Corruption
A ticking time bomb for a disastrous eruption
An endless tug-of-war
Your mind your body can’t handle this anymore
Swaying back and forth
Back and forth
Near your last gasp
There’s something to grasp
Your last bit of sanity
Like a calm plump manatee
It lays there firm
A foundation now can be set for the long term

A fear of rejection
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
A fear of rejection
Because you believe during further inspection
That there is nothing more
In you just a shallow shore
You pass by everyday
With a swirling heap of gray
Hoping, praying that you’ll find
A person similar to your peace of mind
And you think
Every time you go to your shrink
With 7 billion souls
Your chances have some type of control
And that leaves you
Into a state askew
Just standing back
Looking through a mirror what you lack
Aug 2015 · 368
I stand firm
Brandon Amberger Aug 2015
I stand firm
Until I find someone else to take over my term
Holding up the weight of the world
Above the abyss with my arms curled
A constant evil trying to penetrate
Getting low so that a wave will not excavate
The life that has been created
A new protector has been awaited
A protector doesn’t need perfection
Just has to have a unique affection
For the good and bad souls
Otherwise there will be holes
And thousands of pounds will fall down
Everything will drown
Under the relentless waves
Will lay billions of graves

— The End —
