This new young generation
Running every new nation
Creating new modern laws
And showing modern flaws
Here is my honest opinion
Made by my own decision
This generation is a wreck
Like, really, what the heck
People think slacking works
Or it is okay to bully the dorks
Pregnancy at a young age is right
It is okay to have *** every night
This generation is so wrong
I feel like I do not belong
I don't drink or smoke anything
I don't treat people like nothing
This generation is thrown away
I'm just waiting for the break of day
I feel like I do not belong in the present
But in the yesterday far in the distance
There are people like me out there
I just want to leave, I do not care
I want to leave this insane generation
And create my own new delegation
Brett W Feb 2015
I miss all of those deep feelings
Of caring so much for someone
Telling them "I love you so much"
Thinking and dreaming about them
I miss thinking about them all day
Nonstop thoughts drown my head
About how beautiful she is to me
I imagine how other people see us
"They are such a beautiful couple"
"They are so cute together" I imagine
I wish I had all of these feelings back
Sleeping well at night without a fright
Relaxing days go in to peaceful nights
Only if I have all of these feelings back
But, I do still have some of these feelings
They never left my dying heart and soul
I often still think and dream about her
She still haunts me when I tell her to leave
I still have nightmares of you and death
I can't destroy these now unwanted feelings
I only wish now, I had someone else to see
Someone else to call beautiful and sweet
I wish that now, I can find happiness again
And regain all of the lost feelings I once had
I wrote this on the bus going to school this morning so I was a little tired
Brett W Jan 2016
I would like to say thank you
For helping me find myself
For dragging me out of the dark
For giving me a reason to live
You taught me important lessons
Like how to be happy in a relationship
Like how to make others feel truly special
Like how to simply be happy with myself
I was wanting to go see you again
Take time out of school and work
To go up there and see you again
But I won't if you don't want to see me
However, if you want, I can still go
Maybe we could go to prom together
Like we talked about a while ago
If that is still in any interest to you
I really want to keep talking to you
But if you don't feel the same way
I'm not going to change your opinion
We can stop talking for good if you wish
I just want you to know I'm happy for you
And I thank you for all that you did for me
I want to wish you the best in your future
And I hope this is not the last time we talk
Brett W Jul 2014
The truth about me is plain and simple
I'm just a shattered mess in need of help
My heart has been stolen from my body
Locked away and never returned to me
I always have a smile on my hidden face
I hide my true emotions from the world
No one knows how I truly feel in any way
I'm broken in search for a fantastic day
I don't know when this day will show up
Not sure if it will ever appear to my eyes
My life is full of lies that feeds my pain
Losing control, nearly making me insane
The truth is I do it all to myself unwillingly
I feed my body with pain to strengthen it
I'm not physically strong by any means
But I am mentally strong it sure seems
I have no control on my life right now
I'm on a bull losing total control of itself
It's unclear what I'll be able to achieve
To be successful this agony must leave
Maybe the music isn't helping life much
Drug and alcohol references drag me in
I still don't drink or do any kind of drug
I'm the type that just tears away the rug
I don't take my anger out on any others
I take it all out on myself and myself only
I generally don't accept help from anyone
In fear of dragging them in as well alone
I don't like who I am today and that's clear
I want to be the old me once more in life
Maybe this time I can not ***** up again
And then I'll be freed from this hated pain
Brett W Dec 2013
No matter how hard I try
I am never fully satisfied
I never think I've done enough
To help pull you out of the rough
I am doing the best I can
I try hard then it hits the fan
I don't think I'm trying hard
I want to protect you, stand guard
I want to do anything for you
You're close to my heart like few
But the harder I try at all
I always end with a deeper fall
Its 2am when I'm writing this by the way. So, I'm just thinking, I know I'm doing all I possibly can to make my girlfriend happy, but no matter what I do, I still don't feel successful and then I have to try harder the next time. If you don't know my story, here it is. I'm 16, my girlfriend lives 1500 miles away and she has cancer and only has months to live. Thanks for reading.
Brett W Jun 2014
I often tend to wonder why
Why I even think about you
As I look for hope in the sky
I can never find anything new
I could be overly sympathetic
Or just easily be able to forgive
I am simply just really pathetic
I must push to continue to live
I have compassion in my head
Forgiveness is in my cold heart
Without it I'd probably be dead
Never again with a fresh start
Trying to forget your presence
That will forever be incomplete
My mind seems to feel dense
Clearly full of undesirable defeat
Moving on from you is my key
I can't live life remembering you
Although you've really helped me
I must move on to someone new
It's going to be an agonizing ride
Trying to push you out far away
These memories I must now hide
Maybe to see again another day
A necessity finding someone new
Not as easy as it is in my dreams
Not clear when I can forget you
I need someone seal loose seams
I'm not sure who this will soon be
I do not even know where to start
Finding someone to make me happy
Will heal my lonely and cold heart
Brett W Mar 2014
No one will know
When the end will occur
This unknown foe
Will ****** out in a blur
I wish I knew when it’d come
So I can make my last words special
Sing to you in a gentle hum
That I love you and that’s all
I want to pour my heart out
I want to go climb a mountain
And then give out a loud shout
Proving my love to you in the rain
But no one knows when it’ll occur
Snapping out at us in a blinding blur
Ending life whenever it shall choose
Fate always wins, and you shall lose
This was just a little quick write. I wrote it in not even three minutes. I hope you like it.
Brett W Mar 2015
As time passes by
I sulk in my misery
I try hard not to cry
But it destroys me
Losing many tears
My soul is now dry
As over these years
I continuously die
From birth to death
I feel pain repeated
Like I am on ****
Until I am defeated
I fight what I can
And avoid the rest
I am a lonely man
With a heavy chest
I see no end in sight
Life moves too fast
I must rest my soul
To end, good night
I still can't think of a title...
Brett W Sep 2013
I am not talking of the dreams
For what you want to do in your life
The ones that occur in your sleep
But over the past couple of nights
I have encountered unwanted dreams

A few nights ago
I dreamt of being in a plane
Going to see the person I love
And the plane crashed in a horrific manner

Then there is last night’s dream
I drove 1500 miles to see the one I love
And when I arrived, I held her in my arms
And she soon passed away
Sobbing while cradled in my arms

I don’t want these dreams
They’re showing me unwanted ideas
Unwanted predictions of the future
I wish the happy dreams would come back...
The "person I love" has Leukemia and was told she has 6-12 months to live and I would do anything to see her, and in these past dreams, either I have died before I got to her, or I did get to her but she died while in my arms. I hate these dreams...
Brett W Feb 2016
I am always unlucky in life
Always stuck on the bad side
Always feeling all the pain
And always in some discomfort
I am the victim of heartbreak
I am the victim of loneliness
I am the victim of harassment
I do not enjoy being the victim
No one does
Brett W Feb 2016
Visions, dreams, nightmares
They all deal with the brain
All of these images painted
To reflect on what is wanted
Dreaming to become something
Is just a lie, it gives false hope
Chances to succeed are slim
However, they still can be done
Visions are simply just pictures
Nothing more than a simple want
The brain makes you picture a want
However, visions just deceive the eye
Nightmares are an internal fear
Fear of supernatural possibly
Or just fearing life in any aspect
However, nightmares are a necessity
These dreams, visions, and nightmares
All have one thing in common, falsity
They produce a false hope or a fear
Hope of becoming happy, or fearing death
However, these false brain impulses
Just inflict pain in life, and can't be stopped
Brett W Dec 2014
It was on a Wednesday night
I talked to you earlier that day
Getting involved in a relationship
We both knew what was to come
We knew that you were moving
Yet we decided to pursue it all
Even though it seemed wrong
We decided to just get together
We were ready for the challenge
We were going to move forward
As one from miles from the other
Part 2 of 4 in the "My Distant Memories" series
Brett W Sep 2014
I'm clueless at the moment
At what exactly went wrong
I'm unsure of what to do now
Cause feel like I don't belong
You say we can still be friends
Not the first time that was heard
Last time it was a complete joke
Ending in me shattered and hurt  
Now, I don't feel as much pain
It all seems to fly over my head
It still continues to steadily rain
It seems to not stop till I'm dead
I can only assume it was my fault
I did something to turn it all around
I can't waste time wondering why
When I know nothing can be found
I must move on once more in life
And I'm sure it will not be my last
Because life is full of many surprises
Where you can't be living in the past
Well, I'm back to living the single life
Brett W Jan 2016
What if I just walked away
Left everything I love behind
A new start somewhere else
Maybe it will free my soul
What if I just left this cruel world
Would anyone even miss me
Not necessarily take my life
Just isolate myself from mankind
What if I just opened up my life
How I felt, what I felt, who I felt
Just tell everyone my deepest thoughts
Without a single worry about myself
What if I tried being more selfish
Caring only about myself from now on
Making sure I am happy before everyone
But that's not how I want to live life
What if I just changed as a whole
What if I could just change the world
To change my harsh world is a start
Maybe that will result in a better world
Brett W Aug 2013
You are, first of all, the sweetest girl I know
Every single day, no matter how you are feeling
You show care and compassion to others when they’re low
And being able to help someone out of their life that’s slowly peeling
You have that beautiful, brown and silky hair that is striking to the eye
Those big, stunning brown eyes that peer deep into a person, finding their true inside
The inside that no one else even bothers to look for anymore in our time
That wonderful optimistic smile that lights up the room around you
And lastly, your amazing strength when that extra push is needed
I don’t know how you could put up with all of this and not show any pain
I know I couldn't pull of the strength needed to remain and not becoming vain
You truly are an astonishing and wonderful person
And I will promise to do my best to help you remain this strong, and energetic person
I wrote this poem about my wonderful girlfriend who is fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and was told last night (8-30-13) that she only has 6-12 months left to live. This is devastating to me because this is the only person in my life that likes me for the way I am. She is the only one that loves my personality and thinks that I'm not ugly, like what everyone else thinks. Be a fighter Sarah, you mean the world to me. I love you. <3
Brett W Nov 2013
No matter how hard I try
I can’t get you off my mind
It’s something I can’t explain
A certain connection I have to you
It’s something that money can’t buy
Something I don’t wish to leave behind
Can be wonderful or can put you in pain
But I know in my opinionated view
What I’m experiencing is love
Something created from high above
Brett W Dec 2013
A commonly asked question upon the masses
Is what does the word love really mean?
The feelings we get when times passes
When we are with someone close and serene
Those feeling of happiness flowing through our veins
Getting rid of all of the troubles and little pains
The want and desire to be with someone at any moment
Staying with that certain someone, so both remain content
What is love? That's a question I ask myself frequently. So I wrote this poem to try to explain to people, and especially myself, because I think many people have different interpretations of what the word "love" means, and this is my way to explain it.
Brett W Sep 2014
I put together all pros and cons
I consider any new consequences
Through being awake and yawns
I think more on this very decision
At times I wish to ask her something
Then the next I despise the thought
I think about how it can create a ding
Or even a dent in this shifting fault
I wish there's an easy way to decide
Instead of thinking alone while I hide
While the water contributes to a tide
That'll slowly make me reveal my side
Every single day, it is different. With one conflict, my mind can't stay consistent in it's thoughts.
Brett W Dec 2014
It was a hot fall morning
A silent time on the bus
On a trip with the band
And me just sitting alone
You were just watching me
I was bored out of my mind
And then you talked to me
We got to know each other
We found many similarities
And by the end of the day
I had made a new friend
Part 1 of 4 in the "My Distant Memories" series
Brett W Jul 2014
If you ever take a tumble
I will always pull you out
I will search through rubble
If you don't give a shout
When you fall, I'll be there
I will heal any of your injuries
I will heal any scrape or tear
When you fall, I'll have the keys
I will always be there to catch you  
Like no one else was ever able to
With one last thing that I like to call
I am here to catch you when you fall
This is the final poem in my short series of 3. I decided to incorporate the titles of all 3 into one line to wrap it all up
Brett W Nov 2013
As the first flake hits my lips
A cold sensation flows through my veins
Continues all the way to my finger tips
Until they tingle, with little pains
The cold wind tenses up my face
As I bundle up to remain warm
The snow starts to fall at a constant pace
These small flakes meaning no harm
This cold and snowy winter day
Is beautiful in every single way
Brett W Jan 2014
The wind blows swiftly
Whistling free on this night
No resistance shown
Haiku
Brett W Aug 2014
Whenever I am with you
My worries will fly away
Whenever you're in view
It brightens up my day
Any time we are together
I feel like I am able to fly
Everyday I feel lighter
Until we say goodbye
I am relaxed as can be
I dream to touch the sky
When you're by my side
I feel like I will never die
Brett W Dec 2013
Sitting here late at night
I think about you, and I worry
I hope my assumptions are right
And not visions that are blurry
I worry about you everyday
I hope that you’re safe
Worried and afraid in every way
But not losing hope or faith
I hope you’re not feeling sick anymore
But I have a feeling that’s not true
As now the tears in my eyes begin to pour
Dripping down my face, as I worry about you
Brett W Feb 2014
I worry so much about you
Just being simple and clear
I know very little and few
Without you anymore here
I fear all the negative outcomes
I fear the pain you go through
I fear you unhappy and alone
Although none of that fear is new
You may wonder why I still fear
We aren't together, yes I sure know
I do still think this feeling is queer
But there's nowhere for my fear to go
When I try to talk to you, it's to help
But when I do, it seems you no longer care
I know other worries will soon develop
But giving up on you now is not really fair
If you wish to still talk, I am always here
For you are my Polish Buddy, my dear
Brett W Mar 2015
I try hard at all I do
Yet I always fail
I try to pay attention
Yet I still doze off
I try to walk proud
Yet I slouch in pain
I try to be composed
Yet I break down
I feel worthless now
No value left in me
I am a wasted soul
Walking amongst the world
You
Brett W Dec 2013
You
Every single night
I think about your face
So happy and bright
Perfect in all the little ways

So beautiful and sweet
There’s one thing that is right
No matter how far we be
I know you will look beautiful tonight

I think about you every day
Think about us living life
Perfect in every single way
Living free of all the strife

How can I not think of you
It’s impossible to push it aside
Keeping the memories fully through
And not leaving a little detail behind

I love you with all my heart
And that is the full truth
I don’t want to fall apart
Because we’re still in our youth
Brett W Sep 2014
Want to know what I love about you? I love just being around your unique attitude. I love seeing you beautiful face. I love hearing your sweet voice. You are absolutely beautiful Madelyn. If someone tells you otherwise, punch them in the face or tell them they need glasses because they CLEARLY can't tell that you're beautiful. Just kidding, don't punch them or insult them, that's just not nice and I know you're not a mean person. Just be you. Stay the beautiful, amazing and sweet Madelyn that I know and love. Don't change to try to impress me or impress others because you already impress many people, including me. I love everything about you, and most importantly, I love YOU
Sorry for not writing in quite a while, it's not that I don't have ideas or time to write, I just never seem to have the motivation. I know this is not a normal write for me as well. Anyway, I'm just writing this because my girlfriend and I have been trying to make plans all weekend but we never get to do any of it because other things get in the way so I'm putting this in her locker in the morning tomorrow to kind of apologize and tell her how much she means to me right now. I hope you all like it, and I'll try to write more. Sorry again
Brett W Apr 2014
You may have an idea
You may have a thought
But I'm like North Korea
Everything? I think not
You don't know my experience
You don't know my background
My story exceeds your intelligence
The mysteries while I'm not around
You don't know what people say
You don't know how people live
You hear something new everyday
And you have no intelligence to give
So back away from lives other that yours
And learn about yourself before taking tours
Brett W Jan 2014
Thinking about your decision you made
Just the other night, deciding to break up
Hope to see each other had continuously fade
Us both being weary, you saying this is enough
Both of us were constantly over-stressed
I knew the time would come, like it was a past vision
But you are trying to put that stress to its own arrest
And in saying that, to break up, I respect that decision
My girlfriend broke up with me the other day. Not taking it so well right now but she made the right choice
Brett W Apr 2014
It seems like life now is great
Your life consumed by dance
You seem to have a full plate
Seconds will not have a chance
You've posted a few photos
And there's a smile on your face
If it's true or not, nobody knows
It's just sitting perfectly in place
I don't want to intervene anymore
It's your life and I intend to stay out
Ignore all I say and continue to soar
I'm always nearby, just give me a shout
You're happy now it sure seems to be
And if to remain that way, forget about me
Because your living life as a women so free
Flying high above where others cannot see
So, it's been over 5 weeks since I've talked to my ex girlfriend (who I still have feelings for and all). I found out earlier that she's been hiding a lot from me during this period of time and the one that strikes me the most is that she's going to Prom as a sophomore. Yes I'm happy for her because of this because this may be her only chance (due to her having a few months to live because of cancer) but I wish she didn't try to hide it all from me. This poem is telling her that if she's happy without me, then that's perfectly fine and I just have to move on sooner or later. Anyway, sorry for this rant and I hope you enjoyed this quickly put together poem. Have a great day/night
Brett W Dec 2014
You are definitely right
I have to move on now
I'll go to sleep tonight
With a brand new vow
Not to dwell on the past
Focus on what's to come
She will not be the last
I no longer feel numb
Reinvigorated with life
I see with new visions
New ways through strife
Making better decisions
I'm no longer indecisive
I'm thankful for the life hacks
You have shown me to live
Without dealing with setbacks
Now we must no longer talk
Because we must both forget
Well, just I have to now walk
You're already through all of it
Bye
I just talked my ex for the first time in over 9 months and she just told me I have to quit dwelling on the past and focus on the future. So I'm taking her advice and trying again to move on. I honestly feel like a semi truck was just taken off my shoulders
Brett W Feb 2014
It flows freely out from my lips
Like water down a waterfall
Down through the rock tips
A lasting impression on us all
It is a beautiful sound to hear
Soft as a feather on the ground
It’s even sweeter with you near
So all can hear from all around
I say your name to myself everyday
Thinking back to how you speak
I then forget what to exactly say
My voice going numb and very weak
I love the sound of your very name
But each passing day, it brings me shame
Sarah... such a beautiful and captivating name...
Brett W Jan 2014
No matter how it appears
It’s always the same to me
Shining through all the tears
Showing that you’re breaking free
Your smile being clear or mischievous
It still will brightens the room
Being totally innocent or devious
It still erases all my undesirable gloom
No matter what it should mean
It’s always the same in my eyes
Happiness and sadness and in between
Remains the same, from the smiles and cries
No matter what anyone else thinks
I know that it’s beautiful in every way
However, due to the distance and few links
I don’t get to see that smile everyday
I wish to see it sometime soon however
But it really seems totally inevitable
No matter how much someone is clever
They know that now it’s near impossible
Despite us not being together anymore
I wish that I would be yours until the end
But our love is now flying out the door
Telling this story to others, it hard to comprehend

— The End —
