Ever since that one journey
You felt extremely close to me
We had so many similarities
Close birthdays, and both Polish
This was only two years ago
Meeting each other and not know
What our future was to soon grow
That we would be in a lovely relationship
That stayed strong there until the end
Break up takes away stress you recommend
Apart and alone we shall have to fend
And so far that is where we stand now
So after all of that, since that young start
You are always my Polish Buddy, in my heart
People probably won't understand this one as much but it's okay. Long story short, this is about Sarah, the girl that I still have feelings for but we aren't together anymore due to cancer and the distance between us. The first "journey" we had is where we met was a band trip with the highschool marching band in 8th grade. We are both short, birthdays a day apart, both last names start with W, and most importantly, we were both Polish. We were literally polar opposites. She was hyper and really crazy and I was laid back and lazy. However, we met again in highschool and talked a lot and got in a relationship. She's battling ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and now lives across the country so we broke up. Yes this upsets me but it was bound to happen in these circumstances. So after all that, to the few that will read this, I hope this clarifies this poem a bit and you also learn a bit about my life. Thanks for reading!

I don't want to go to my prom
That is now a well known fact
However, I still want to go to one
Not my own, I want to go to hers
She is over a thousand miles away
And I want to be by her side that day
I have a brilliant plan lined up for it all
I will contact her school or her mother
Tell them what I am about to tell you
Say I want to fly up there for her prom
Surprise her, she will have no clue
See if I can get a special entrance
Just so I can get one special dance
I will fly there with a group of friends
And hope to make her happy as can be
However, there is only one flaw to my plan
She may not want to see me anymore
As she is currently with another guy
I'm just going to ask if she wants to go
If she says yes, I'll put the plan into action
If she says no, I'll drop it and let her go
I want this plan to occur, it will be perfect
Seeming like it comes out of a love movie
But it will hopefully be real life, my own life
Brett W Mar 2016
I imagine the scenario
What I want to happen
To what actually will occur
Then it all just goes black
Replay, it's all back in my head
I see her smile, so gorgeous
She is crying tears of joy
As she runs into my open arms
Then it goes black once more
Prom, every high schoolers dream
It is now a nightmare and a dream
All at the exact same time
I want to spend it with her
But I no longer exist to her
As she has a new boyfriend
And I sit alone, thinking
The scenario in my head
Replays constantly, it won't stop
Brett W Jul 2015
I may seem like a somber person
Containing only one simple version
Never seen in public the opposite
Only pain and sadness I deposit
In reality, I can be happy, sometimes
Maybe not noticeable in these rhymes
But I can sometimes appear happy
But my happiness is not full of purity
I often will "fake" my happiness
In order to not seem like I'm in distress
It's been quite a while since it's been real
But I'm trying to turn it around like a wheel
I want to be happy as much as possible
To prove that sadness and pain is curable
Brett W Jan 2014
The gentle rain falls down my face
Expressionless, yet full of despair
The rain having a wretched taste
An unwanted experience to share
Hoping the rain washes the misery away
Leaving my world lifeless and dull
As everything is colorless and only grey
It never leaves, leaving me miserable
Oh rain, rain, please leave be alone
It’s difficult to explain how I feel
These feelings, I can’t condone
The pain, the sorrow, seems unreal
Brett W Jun 2014
This poem is more of a rant
If you don't read, that's fine
I just feel like I need to vent
Share the recent life of mine
I don't know where to begin
I'll start at about a week ago
We were in Hawaii, a big win
Love there continued to grow
Yet I also felt down and alone
There's a lot she didn't know
All the times I called her phone
I'm was starting to fall for her
I didn't even see this outcome
I thought I had found my cure
To take me out of my own glum
I can't decide to just go for it all
Or sit back and watch it unfold
I'm always the first to give a call
She called first which was bold
I don't know what to do there
But I have something else to do
I wonder if she will even care
But I could see someone I knew
I haven't seen her in over a year
We had been apart for some time
We were close and our hearts near
But now it's hard to even combine
I kind of want to pay a simple visit
But I'm not if that's her preference
I don't want to strike memory's pit
Especially after our new indifference
She seems to have moved on better
I'm stuck in the happiness of the past
My mind is still stuck in the gutter
I'm looking for just a simple blast
To shake me loose so I can decide
If I want to move on or just to hide
I don't know if I should make a move
Or continue to move with the groove
Im stuck between two tough choices
I'm trying to follow what my heart says
I can only hear many different voices
Each telling me about different ways
Telling me all about any possible end
Telling where my life could possible go
Telling me which decisions to defend
Right now, I'm clueless and I don't know
I don't know which direction to go head
But I'm done for now, after that's all said
Brett W Feb 2015
I see myself in the mirror
I'm young yet full of fear
In my eye is a crusty tear
Of reflecting on my year
Started off in utter pain
And simply ended in vain
I'm left alone and insane
Sitting out alone in the rain
I do not know what to expect
I have new options to select
In all options, there's a defect
But all I can do now is reflect
Reflect on what is now the past
Reflect on what flew by so fast
Twelve bitter months out of grasp
And they sure won't be the last
Brett W Apr 2014
There is so much in my past
That I regret and want back
Time ticks on by way too fast
All these times now remain black
I wish that we would have never met
Maybe I wouldn't feel down today
Maybe death in my life wasn't a threat
But I'm happy to meet you anyway
I regret those last words I said to you
"I'll talk to you tomorrow," that never came
As my love for you consistently grew
I could uncover what was stuck in the rain
I regret what I'm doing right at this moment
Thinking about you but not saying a peep
These thoughts becoming strong and potent
I'm taking baby steps, life is taking a leap
I'm being left behind in the cold and lonely dust
Left alone in my despair and regrets to rust
Brett W Jun 2016
I can sit here, saying your name
Looking at a picture of your face
Or just thinking about your beauty
None of it feels the same anymore
When I was with you, I took it for granted
And now that we are apart, I regret it
I wish I would've shown how much I loved you
I wish I could have done everything better
But I tried, it was a difficult time
Long distance and all, I did what I could
But it still was no where near enough
So now I think of you, your name, your face
And I get emotional, close to a breakdown
But I hold it all back from the world
Because I don't want you to see me this way
I feel like a lonely and miserable monster
I regret ever falling this deeply in love with you
But I don't regret a relationship with you
As it shaped who I became today
Even though I cringe at the sight of myself
I hate how I feel, but I regret nothing now
Brett W Nov 2015
So many pretty girls I know
And I wish I wasn't so lonely
Do I want to ask one out?
I am not really sure right now
There is the cute blonde
She has a great personality
I have known her for many years
But have I waited too long for her?
Then there is the first of 3 brunettes
She has such a lovely smile
And she has wonderful hair
But we don't talk much in person
However, it's nonstop here online
Does she like me but we are both shy?
Then there is the second brunette
It has been on and off with her
Some moments I really like her
Then others I forget she exists
She often will hug me at school
But that really is all there is
Other than when we went to the mall
Is there a connection? Was there ever one?
Then there is the last of the brunettes
We don't really talk much anymore
But it used to be all the time it seemed
For quite some time, I didn't exist to her
But then I crawled back into her life
She has beautiful eyes that see your soul
And that laugh that is just adorable
But I know that I can not have her...
Is this just proof I can't find anyone?
I have decided to just remain single for now
But I feel like loneliness haunts me again
I want to find happiness once more
And it is hard for me to come by now
As a relationship truly makes me happy
But right now, I don't think I can be in one
It's a mix of I'm scared of heartbreak
And maybe there is also some embarrassment
I'll find it one day, but right now I suffer
Is there any other title option?
Brett W Aug 2013
Over the past year and a half
You have been struggling with pain
But despite that pain and sadness
You are fighting with little complain

You show no signs of defeat
Do not show any sign of doubt
Because you have a while until life is complete
Because your time will never run out
This poem I dedicated to my wonderful girlfriend who has been fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for a year and almost 9 months.
Brett W Feb 2016
I am constantly held back in life
From others or even just myself
I tend to hit a barrier fairly often
Where it takes some time to pass
All these restrictions, reoccurring
All the pain, consistent and nonstop
All the feelings, ongoing and unforgiving
And all the love, gone and ripped apart
I can simply just hear her name
And a wall of restriction is built
I can see a picture of her perfect face
And an unconquerable wall is built
All this pain, all this heartbreak
It's restricting me from my goals
From happiness, from future success
I am being held back due to this
And I must break these chains
In order to live happily ever after
Brett W Nov 2013
Despite you being a thousand miles away
You are right next to me here in my heart
But I still wish to feel your presence anyway
And again I can be next to my life’s missing part
I miss you like crazy and I wish you were here
But I’m hoping this long wait will end someday
Even though time’s almost gone, don’t you fear
But I am not fearful even in the slightest way
Brett W Oct 2013
You get on as soon as you’re born
No maximum or minimum height requirement
Your body tenses up and becomes warm
As you get strapped in for the ride of your life
Throughout the many twists and turns
The different amounts of speed and velocity
Leaving small little wrinkles and wind burns
Scarring your body until the very end

Everyone’s ride on this coaster is utterly different
Many different experiences between all individuals
Some of these riders will encounter many hills
While others will experience more corkscrews and spirals
Even though some rides are shorter than others
And although everyone ends the exact same way
Only most people have a calming and soothing finale
At the end of everyone’s ride is the exact same
Finally they come to the end, entering into a dark, quiet valley
A valley that leads them to their final resting point
Brett W Jul 2014
We all have an uncontrolled amount
To be able to make everything okay
Making every single moment count
To that last breath on your last day
For some of us it is in the unknown
Time is and will never be unlimited
At times you'll feel afraid and alone
You can't fear your fears or be timid
You near the end with every moment
Not wasting a moment on nonsense
You can't wonder where it all went
Because it will leave you more tense
We all have a endless ticking clock
It shall never stop or slightly bend
It will continue to move and to rock
Until your heart had reached the end
Brett W Jun 2014
Let the search now commence
Although it started so long ago
If I had enough common sense
I would be confident and know
I'm looking for someone to hold
It's simple and easy as can be
I take all of this advice I am told
Using it just to let myself fly free
I feel pressure holding me down
Keeping me from flying far away
I wish to search out if this town
But that shall begin another day
I'm searching for a heart healer
Not a pretty face to to peer into
Everyday I will be able to hug her
Being the best guy she ever knew
I wish for her soul and heart near
I'm searching for happiness in me
I wish to wash away all inner fear
Of being blinded and unable to see
Unable to see the world as a whole
Blocking away my heart and my soul
This search keeps on moving onward
The only direction to head is forward
Not remembering failures in the past
Finding myself true happiness at last
Brett W Jan 2014
I just want to break down in tears
Waiting after these many years
I thought I had found the one
She wasn’t and now it’s done
I had done all I could for her
All of the difficulties to endure
I always put her before myself
And in the end, it wasn’t enough
It must have been something I said
Or something I sent that she read
But either way, what it was is over
I must move on, finding a new lover
I will have to begin this search again
Hopefully not enduring much pain
Sure taking lightly is highly unlikely
Soon I’ll open my future with a key
I’ll soon to find the girl of my dreams
I’ll do my best to keep her, by any means
Brett W Jul 2015
I finally deleted all your photos
What I do now, no one knows
Those memories were my old foes
Bringing me to new all time lows
It is now over six months later
My state of mind has been greater
It's been shredded by a cheese grater
Now to be buried in it's own crater
My heart has no home to now go
It has been lost with no clear hero
No one to help it heal and to grow
Leaving it out in the open like a doe
My heart is searching for a new friend
As my last two deserted it in the end
My heart needs assistance to mend
Or else it will rot away in the cool sand
Brett W Dec 2015
That wonderful smile
Those pretty brown eyes
The wait has been long
But will end here soon
Not talking for a while
Both saying goodbyes
It all seemed so wrong
But it'll be okay soon
I know I can't promise
And may not keep it
But this is one I will keep
To give you a huge hug
When I see you again
Brett W Dec 2015
BEAUTIFUL
By far the sweetest girl I know
Extremely energetic
Amazing in every single way
Unbelievably strong (mentally and physically)
Trustworthy
Incredible dancer
Faithful and honest
Ugh, another "U"- unique
Loving/caring/sweet/kind
:)
Brett W Jan 2014
I stood there shocked
As if my world stopped
My feelings were blocked
My legs gave up, I dropped
I couldn't believe what occured
I thought it was all a horrendous dream
I knew it was true, it all just was blurred
As I tried to wipe that unwanted memory clean
Brett W May 2014
Going on nightly walks together
Hand in hand, happy as can be
Extremely fair and clear weather
Walking with heads high and free
Going together to the school Prom
Having the best time in our lifetime
Feeling like that is where we belong
Enjoying time when the moon shines
Laughing at every single pointless joke
Talk about al ideas coming to our heads
Going on dates together until I'm broke
Chatting all night while we lie in our beds
This should be us at this very moment
But you left my life fast than you came
And now my life is in constant torment
As my life always has a constant rain
This should be us living the best we can
You're now with you guy from your dreams
I always though I was, but you weren't a fan
Apparently this guy is better by all means
You're happy now; I'm in constant despair
You're constantly smiling; I am now crying
I always thought we were the perfect pair
But that idea is leaving as you're dying
Brett W Aug 2014
It seems to be the simple things
Things that we remember most
All the little unnoticeable dings
As you drive from coast to coast
Going to get frozen yogurt together
It's simple and will be in my memory
Every passing day is getting better
When I see you smile in front of me
I try to create a smile on your face
I do the simplest things to succeed
You can try hard to fly over this place
But simple things is all that you need
Brett W Apr 2016
I wonder about this very often it seems
Why am I always a single and lonely guy?
Apparently I'm sweet and a gentleman
But I am always on the wrong end of it all
Is it because I'm not the most attractive?
Could it just be I don't seem sociable?
Maybe I really am not a true gentleman
But either way, I am single, but I wonder why
I don't enjoy the single life, I truly hate it
I could be much happier if I had a girlfriend
Simple. I honestly am not happy right now
I'm lonely, I want something to do, but no
I am stuck at home playing a stupid game
Just thinking about my ex, and how I was happy
Back in the good days, when I enjoyed life
Now I live each day, dealing with loneliness
Brett W Aug 2014
Death sends you an invitation
You accept half of the whole
It sweeps across the nation
Accomplishing it's only goal
A world full of dark mystery
Something new every night
Darkness is all you can see
Giving any young one a fright
Sleep is a quick taste of death
Replenishing your necessities
It releases creativity underneath
Creating dreams with small keys
Sleep is death where we awake
It is where I mind is most used
It gives back more than we take
And leaves us all less confused
Sleep is something that I fear
I fear I won't wake the next day
The time for us all can be near
It will end in some kind of way
Sleep is death eating our lives
Cutting the time more everyday
Slicing slowly with sharp knives
Until our "sleep" has gone away
I think that sleep is like an open relationship with death
Brett W Mar 2015
The need to wake up early
But I can not sleep at night
My mind is too **** swirly
Full of pain from a harsh bite
A chunk of happiness, gone
The wound not healing soon
I remember them every dawn
Are they remembered by you?
Probably means nothing to you
I stayed up to provide comfort
This is where our bonding grew
Me helping when you are hurt
These nights remain haunting
The pain from before; taunting
It never faded from my head
I feel as if I am now just dead
When I have a full night of sleep
I will be dead in my own grave
I'll sleep once my body is deep
And there is nothing left to save
Sleepless nights haunt me now
And will continue until I'm gone
Brett W Jun 2014
Sometimes I want to curl up in a ball
Just to cry and let the tears flow away
Sometimes I wish to give you a call
Just to realize I can't do it anyway
Sometimes I hope I can just fly home
Just to be told that I am already here
Sometimes I feel so cold and alone
Just to realize I am with no one near
Sometimes I wish to be happy again
Just to realize I can but I just don't try
Sometimes I want to get rid of this pain
Just to see that my tears have gone dry
Sometimes I wish to leave this place
Just to realize I'm stuck for a while
Sometimes I wish I can let my heart race
Just to realize my heart is now in denial
Brett W Jun 2016
We can always be looking
For that destined someone
Some many never find them
Others will often get lucky
It can tough to find them
But it will all pay off eventually
Soulmates are destined to be
You will know when they are found
You will feel an ultimate connection
Feel what they feel almost always
Be able to make each other happy
With just each other's presence
Some pipeline believe in a soulmate
Personally, I don't think so anymore
I thought I found mine at one point
Then she abandoned me like I was nothing
I felt everything I just said above
And she felt the same way to me
But I guess it's not destined to be
Brett W Mar 2015
I feel my chest getting heavy
Like an elephant taking a break
I'm beginning to feel needy
Of finding a girl for my sake
I'm feeling lonely every day
I honestly like someone now
I can't do anything in any way
Because I do not know how
I fear heartbreak once more
I don't want that pain again
Someone I'm starting to adore
And I seem to be going insane
My heart pounds like a drum
My head spins a crazy amount
Like I drank a few bottles of ***
Until I have the guts to ask her out
But I just can't do it anytime soon
Because I'm afraid of one afternoon
That may haunt my life forever
And I can't reach this endeavor
Title from my friend Stacy so credit given to her.
Brett W Jan 2015
We've known each other for a few years
Since then we've shed quite a few tears
We met awkwardly in the boys restroom
During our band-camp lunch around noon
We then quickly became very close friends
And to this day, it hasn't reached it's end
I've been able to trust you since the start
We shared stories close to our dear heart
You shared to me about horrid past stories
And then I shared to you present difficulties
We've talked and shared numerous accounts
We could write sad books in large amounts
Just with the stories we shared to each other
Even though no stories seemed to tie together
Thank you for being such a great friend to me
And hopefully it'll remain as you'll roam free
Keep Brett close to your heart, no matter what
Even if you feel like punching him in the gut
Poem 1 of 2 that I sent to two good friends of mine just to thank them for being there. I've been enduring some tough times recently so that's the reason for the lack of poems. I'll try to get them more often.
Brett W Dec 2013
Through the sickness and cold
You remain strong and bold
Leaving all your friends behind
It’s too much pain combined
Remain strong my darling
Fight until your mind is swirling
Think about the happy moments
Combine happiness from many components
Brett W Jan 2014
There are moments in life
Where you have to sacrifice
All that occurred in the past
Blow it up in one final blast
Step away like it was nothing
However, it used to be everything
But you have to step away
Start this chapter on a fresh day
Where one chapter comes to an end
Another new chapter will begin
It's an ongoing cycle, repeating
Many new steps you take, repeating
If you happen to peer back, defeating
And it continues until death, defeating
Brett W Jul 2014
I don't even know why I'm giving advice
I haven't been able to move on my own
I have nothing left to give as a sacrifice
But I'll share my thoughts with my tone
First you have to forget about your past
This is something I can't even complete
I like to take my time and not go too fast
In the end, I seem to always face defeat
The next step seems to be out of sight
You must cope with any known difficulty
Because at any time in the day or night
You can fall apart in your own captivity
I would say then you must find someone
A special person you can trust with it all
A person able to cheer you up with a pun
Every time you're on the verge of your fall
The last step in my mind is quite obvious
You need someone to fill in your other part
No one that seems devious or mischievous
Someone that can heal your injured heart
Brett W Jul 2016
All of this debate going on
Cops shooting black men
Mass shooting at a gay club
It is all the same, it is killing
I must say this before I start
I apologize for any language
But this is all a load of *******
And it honestly has to stop
When a white man kills a white man
There is no publicity in the ordeal
When a black man kills a black man
There is still no debate going on
But people are dying in these situations
Someone's family member or close friend
Gone, taken away from their life
Then a cop shoots a white man
And there's a little discussion on it
But a cop shoots a black man
And there are riots, marches, but why
All lives should matter in this world
The declaration says all men are equal
So no life is greater than anyone else's
White, Black, Mexican, Asian, Middle Eastern
Straight, gay, lesbian, transgender, ect.
It is all equal to one another, it's 2016
Stop the killing and keep peace and equality
Brett W Jul 2015
Here's a short explanation of my life:
Pages 1-6: building up a new reputation
Having big dreams, as big as a nation
I was just starting out in my early youth
I remember when I first lost a tooth
I thought I was slowly dying away
I thought my body was beginning to decay
But then I realized it was a natural occurrence
I continued my youth with little interference
Pages 6-12: I'm in my late youth stage
I'm ready to be a teen and then the page
I experienced moving and family deceased
I tried to cope with it as the pain decreased
And sure enough it did not happen again
But I was constantly bullied and in pain
At times I didn't want to go to school
But I was as consistent as a Mexican bull
I fought through all the pain and agony
To become as successful as I could be
Pages 13-16: looking at a bigger place
High school. A place filled with disgrace
Middle school seemed like a slow torture
So I hoped that high school would be better
It was, kind of. Freshman year was strange
I was okay, then depressed and out of range
I then met someone that seemed truly special
Possibly my dream girl, we were inseparable
Except, she moved thousands of miles away
We fought through difficulties every day
But it just did not work out at all in the end
I felt as if my heart would never again mend
Until I thought I found someone close to me
I started to like her on a band trip in Hawaii
We dated for a few months but it fell apart
And yet again there was a tear in my heart
I didn't think I could do anything about it
Until I find a key that will properly fit
Page 17: my current place in this story
I still have the right to write about me
I still have many years to look ahead
Until the final days when I end up dead
But I'm only at 17, halfway to 18 now
I have had a disappointing life I think
Two girlfriends, heartbreaks, I slowly sink
Grades starting to slip in every class
As I progress to harder classes to pass
My lips still remain virgins, no gentle touch
I am becoming desperate now, so very much
I want to find someone to love once more
Someone who won't slam the door
My heart has been beaten and slaughtered
I need someone to fix it while it's tattered
I still have a place in my heart for someone
She's thousands of miles away, so far gone
Yes, the first girl I loved, that's the one
I thought that It would work out, but I'm alone
Page ???: I will again find happiness in my life
My story continues with happiness and strife
I will find happiness again some day, I hope
As I have too much pain right now to cope
I need someone now to hold in my open arms
As I am a classy gentleman and mean no harm
I will live my life as long as a block of lead
And will try to remain happy, until I am dead
Probably the longest thing I've wrote (besides essays for school) but this is a poetic explanation of my life. Enjoy, and sorry it's been over 2 months since I've posted anything. To be honest, life has ****** lately but I just am never in the mood to write. Until now. I'm going to post another poem here in a bit that I wrote the other night

I am becoming desperate now, so very much
I want to find someone to love once more
Someone who won't slam the door
My heart has been beaten and slaughtered
I need someone to fix it while it's tattered
I still have a place in my heart for someone
She's thousands of miles away, so far gone
Yes, the first girl I loved, that's the one
I thought that It would work out, but I'm alone
Page 18: I am 18 now. I'm legally an adult. I'm off to college in a few months, done with high school, and I'm ready to take a giant step in life. It's been two years since my heartbreaking situations. Am I okay now? Sadly I am not. I still see her face and a thousand memories flood my mind. I don't think it's possible to move on. I've done all I can think of. Maybe one day it will all settle in the dust and it will all be okay. But in the meantime, I will live another day.
Page ???: I will again find happiness in my life
My story continues with happiness and strife
I will find happiness again some day, I hope
As I have too much pain right now to cope
I need someone now to hold in my open arms
As I am a classy gentleman and mean no harm
I will live my life as long as a block of lead
And will try to remain happy, until I am dead
I wrote this a few years ago and I updated and posted it last year so I'm updating it again and reposting it. The addition is Page 18

The vile feeling stuck inside us all
The evil word that haunts the human race
All people, the short and the tall
Pasting a worried expression on our face
Harming people of all ages
Students studying to the elderly in a nursing home
Sending these people in angry rages
All ending with the feeling of being only alone
Infecting our body in unwanted times
Times where we want to work hard to succeed
But stress and failure are perfect bonds
To make our final work quality drastically deplete

Where should I go
And what shall I do
No one that I know
Loving only a few

I wish to leave this place
Leave far, far away today
No one will miss my face
I have no reason to stay

To hang by my slim neck
Or a bullet through the head
Either way I won't be back
Finally I'll be completely dead
I will say this, I am NOT suicidal. I just decided to write this for some reason. Hope you all like it. Thanks for reading.

As I climb up the treacherous ladder
I feel my heart pump, faster and faster
I feel like that last chance baseball batter
Hoping he doesn’t create a perilous disaster
I peer down once on top as I gulp air into my lungs
I get ready to take the jump I’ve been waiting for
I jump, flipping through the air like loose dog tongues
I hit the water, precisely as planned, satisfied, I head out the door
Just a little random quick write.

I will guide you until you succeed
I will give all necessary knowledge
I will give you all the help you need
To help flourish in life after college
I will teach you all the needed skills
I will assist you when you need help
I will turn all your maybes into wills
To help you believe more in yourself
It is my duty to brighten your future
It a must to push you through it all
It is my job to put you through torture
While I am friendly as you walk the hall
Brett W Jun 2014
It must mean you're never tough
Making you feel inferior to us all
Even if your life is becoming rough
You can't even cry when you fall
Tears can't flood from your eyes
Tears can't escape from your head
Even if family or a close friend dies
You can't cry tears of dense lead
All I wish to do is sit down and cry
I want to forget what others will say
I wish that no one close will ever die
But that won't ever happen anyway
I would sacrifice myself for anyone
No one will waste their tears on me
Once I'm gone my tears will be one
My soul and dignity will be set free

Swords clashing as knights swing
The sharp daggers create an obnoxious ping
The knights are only a small piece of this fight
People fighting for what they think is right

The evolution of war begins with the gun powder
Small particles, creating explosions getting louder
Once gunpowder was used, hand to hand was rare
More national armies used after westernization’s appear

Nowadays, the deadliest weapons ever created
With the nuclear bombings, making populations deflated
Killing off people who are defenseless from these killers
Fighting war for not freedoms as much, but for oil drillers
Just a little poem about war I guess. I just incorporated what I am learning in my AP Euro class and using it in other content. I hope you like it.

Counting down the final days you may have
I think back to the times we spent together
Those few times where we just sat and laughed
To the time when I sent a surprise birthday letter
Not many memories can be reminisced in my mind
Due to the little time we spent together, before you left
I wish that I can put those few memories on rewind
The future memories taken, unwanted theft
I then fast forward to the times we could spend
But those times may never come, be always gone
But I’m currently doing something I sure don’t recommend
That is, the dying days left, to create your final countdown
Having 1-7 months left for my girlfriend to live, I'm doing something I shouldn't really do... Countdown the final days... I push these thoughts to the back of my mind but when I get bored, lonely, or just am not in the best mood, these thoughts attack my already aching mind. She's too young to pass away... and I'm scared... :(

There is a hated beast in the world today
The awareness about this beast is way too low
The amount of species of the best is frightening in every way
But I will try my best to raise this awareness, and that’s my vow

This hated beast effects the most innocent of individuals
Most of these people have never done a wrong in their life
But these people lose their life every single day
Every day, this thoughtless beast stabbing families with a knife

Someday, someone will be strong enough, bright enough
To fend off this beast and to make himself a hero
But he may have saved the future, but the damage has been done
But the goal is to not have these innocent count their days here to zero
Brett W Nov 2013
Of all people that endure most
It’s the innocent who take almost all
The one’s dying while on their post
Serving their country, standing tall
The children suffering on cancer’s fate
Can’t do anything to defend their own
Dying at a quickening and increasing rate
To most, this issue is just something to condone
More must be done to help with these matters
So we could stop those tears from its pitter patters
Brett W Nov 2013
Here sits the this grown man
So strong and powerful
Strong and extremely tan
From working until he’s null
Then here’s the baby child
So sweet and tender, a newborn
Not yet cranky or even wild
Fresh, like a sweater never worn
The man cradles this sleeping youth
Holding it strongly, yet full of comfort
As he looks and sees not one tooth
He smiles, and then the baby wakes with a snort
So, this one is not really going to be good because I always write about my life or something that's somewhat inspirational and this, as you can tell, is neither of those. So if you want, give me some suggestions to possibly fix. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Stay strong little soldier
Don't give up the fight now
Keep you chin up high and proud
Keeping your shoulders broad
Although I am so far away
I am still with you in your heart
I will never leave your side
Even when the time is ****
I will comfort you through conflicts
I will help walk you though life
You are one of my best friends
Whom I want to see happy though strife
Brett W Nov 2013
I miss the simplest things in all of this
Being able to see each other every day
Seeing you smile every day I sure miss
And making that smile appear in any way
Life just isn't the same without you here
It is much less energetic and entertaining
But I know it will not be full of a certain fear
Fear of the possibility of you never returning
Because I want to be able to hold you tight
To tell you that everything’s going to be alright
Brett W Jan 2014
As I look up at the deep blue sky
I can only think of one beautiful girl
I think of the last time we said bye
The one that gave my life a whirl
The one with the big brown eyes
The luscious long dark brown hair
That smile hiding every time she cries
She’s serene and never creates a flare
It feels like forever since I held her hand
Heard that sweet and soothing voice
But now she is far across this great land
But none of this was to be her choice
I can’t wait to finally see her again
But that time is going to have to wait
However, it’s only a matter of when
That time will come where it’s too late
Brett W Aug 2014
It's now over a year later
I have now moved away
I have forgot about her
But this isn't the same

I feel the same as I was
Every other day I lived
Now I'm in all the buzz
The center of attention

She was a dear friend
That was inseparable
That reached the end
When we parted ways

Now I don't feel different
I feeling nothing special
Yet is what I am saying
Cause patience is crucial

This all is new to my life
Moving on from someone
To someone completely new
I now have a brand new you
And this cycle is never done
Until the ending of our strife
First, sorry for not posting for a while, been busy a lot with work.
So, think I have moved on from my ex, Sarah, but there is something different in my current relationship that I didn't feel in mine with Sarah. In a shorter sense, I felt more connected with Sarah. Even though she move 1.5k mikes away and I haven't seen her in about 15 months. I'm just going to let time and my patience create a closer bond between me and my current girlfriend. Thanks for reading and sorry again for not posting (also. I wrote this and I'm exhausted from a long, hard day so hopefully it makes sense)
