It is the song the bird memorizes every morning.
It is the movement of an inspired dancer.
The swift movement of fingers on an instrument,
And the beautiful sound that follows it.
It is emotion via colors on a canvas,
Or a melodic rhythm in song.
Is is a visual discussion of something worth
Knowing, learning, and hearing about.
It is a satisfying photo symbolizing life, and love,
And yet, a graphic, detailed piece explaining sin,
Death, and the wrong of human nature.
The release of built up emotions, both positive
And negative, creating something unique that
May only be significant to a single person,
Or able to grasp the attention of the world.
It is usually expressed through agony, and longing.
It is ourselves through a visual metaphor.
It is a spell, that's been cast upon you, that you
Express to others, expanding the impact of this magic.
It is the explanation of your own being.
It can explain your self views, and opinions.
It is something so beautiful, you cannot explain
Or comprehend the meaning unless you've experienced it
Yourself.
It's the realization that we are here to love.
It is deep thoughts coming to you from nowhere
But your own mind, using the one incredible thing
We're given that can unlock anything.
It is the face that we're present, we're
Alive, we are discovering, we are creating, we
Are learning, and we are living.
If that isn't art, then what is it?

Cant afford to pay
attention today;
Concentration Holiday.
Mind's not in the gutter,
It's somewhere in the clouds.
What's a social gathering
without the risk of crowds.

Breaking promises
but that's okay.
It was gonna happen anyway.
Mind's a mess, leading me astray
That's the beauty
of  concentration holiday.

Is there a way to say what I feel without having to hide in strawberry fields.
I look for a way to disguise my cries, with clever language and creative lies.
Despise me if you really care about another mothers terrible heir.
Dare to spare me a little change, I need a sip of something strange.
The taste of nature smelling sweet now signifies I am complete.

I don't mean to say what manages to emerge.
When it comes to gluttony, we always tend to purge.
Scrambling through the dialogue I've logged within my cerebellum cell.
Heaven is a Neverland, this place, a kind of Hell.

Karma usually on my side
Barely took the dragon
Out for a ride.
Never a scientist,
Strictly a botanist,
Goodbye, little anarchist.

I dont want my name
On Hollywood Boulevard,
And I dont want my face
On the TV set.
I dont wanna leave all the people scarred,
When it's time to lay
On my death bed.

Loved by many, respected by all.
Stuck by you, rise and fall.
The name would ring a bell
Through thick and thin,
Heaven and Hell.

The name called out,
And the rise of a beer,
I want you to know..
...I was here.

I dont know where the future lies.
Im just as scared
As the rest of you guys.
I admit it,
I forget it;
The colour
Of sobriety's eyes.
No funeral
When an angel dies.

Why do the heroes
See themselves as the villain?
Why do the demons
Think they save the day by killin?
Where does the day go?
Why doesn't anyone know?

Sayin sorry
For all the wrong reasons.
Lives are changing
In a matter of seasons.
Sick of staring
At my bedrooms padded walls,
But ill be here
When society falls,
And sobriety calls.

Trying to function
Just aint in the cards
When your mind is a mess
And your body in shards.
Feelin lonely
Walking down the boulevard.

Losing loved ones,
Senses dying.
Given wings,
Not meant for flying.
Bonds are broken,
Tears are shed,
Incredible knowledge
Lost in your head.
A pinky promise
Never kept,
Insomniac;
Never slept.
Lives are shattered
Like pain never mattered,
Express your love,
Only flattered.
Blood is spilled,
Unfulfilled,
Love the dumb,
**** the skilled.
Drowning in
A viscous pool;
Life is but
A cruel Jewel.

I dont support any kind of war.
Dont care how important,
Killing evens no score.
Keep the aura as bright as you can,
Take down the rope
From the ceiling fan.

Do anything different,
And we're all mad hatters.
On the inside is what counts
But on the outside
Is what matters.

I'm not a fighter,
Im usually a lover.
Feeling like a foreign spy
Who's about to lose his cover.
But since im just an evil soul
Cause I believe in a moral goal,
I'll throw my penny in the wishing well
And I hope they serve beer in hell.

Sinning till we sleep,
Kids on every street,
Making friends and making love
With everyone we meet.
One with the world
Celebration field,
Feeling triumphant
Without a sword and shield.

Unfamiliar faces
Well known places,
No bat or ball required
To run all the bases.
Not enough hours
In the 24 I got.
It's only illegal
If you get caught.
Face in the grass,
Head in a cloud,
Tell the neighborhood,
It's gonna get loud.

At the hour or morning,
When the sun hits the hills,
Your body's in ruins,
And you've spent your dollar bills.
The night after chaos
Is a day of torture,
After spending a night
In the insanity orchard.
Dont remember it at all,
Dont remember what I said,
I just know it was good,
Till I woke up this morning
Halfway in my bed.

You could say you're
Still a juvenile
All you lies are spread
With a vicious guilty smile
Just wanna stay up late
But it's time for bed

All the boys and girls
Have their own share,
And if I don't get any
Then I'll think it's unfair.
Now I'm gonna throw a fit
So everyone can stare.
When I'm gonna fall asleep
That's when it comes in handy;
Sweet tooth is gonna cry
Unless I get candy.

Gimme some lipstick
And I'll makeup my mind.
Only working part time,
But my nose is to the grind.
Sick scavenger hunt,
Take what I can find.
Your path is in the clouds,
Doesn't mean its the high road.

No reading involved,
But you live between the lines.
You're playing in a field,
Dancing by the landmines..
I've told you a thousand times.

Gonna throw away
The grin today.
Signs of agony
In the words I say.
Rid myself
Of joyous things,
Now a jester
After living like kings.

No use telling a lie
When you're about to cry.
Its only a matter of time,
Until you spill
The reason why.
Lost the trust,
So what's the use?
Unlace my shoes
And tie a noose.

Im not a straight shooter
But I've got a trigger finger.
The feeling of fear,
It loves to linger.
Nothing changes
If nothing changes,
Take control
When it rearranges.
Dont need
The ***** deeds,
Determining
Flowers from weeds.
Taking a walk
In a field of the land mine,
Your head isn't sleepy,
Dont lay it on the line.

Some moments I feel like death
Others I feel reborn.
The days where I feel unbreakable
And the nights when I feel torn.
**** me now or spare my life,
Respirator, butchers knife.
How do I feel when I dont even know
How feeling is supposed to go.
Slowly losing shape of mind
Cant understand my own kind.
Since when does body
Conquer soul
Never, because I believe
In Rock n Roll.
***, drugs, music notes,
Sail together
Like wind and boats.

Death can't be so bad
Cause life ain't always good.
Things won't work
Just like they should,
The negative
From the good.
Losing lovers, friends and foes
It's how the story goes
Coming clean with a fire hose.
Why is everything so confusing
At this point in time
When luck is
Losing.

You put a self portrait
On a pedestal made by you.
Do you see me as a burden
With some modifying to do?
You're so silent
When I say hypocrite,
Maybe make a list for me
Of the crimes that I commit.

If I'm such a sinner
I wont be afraid
To leave this place and everyone,
Sanity stretching thinner.
For I am not the demon
You make me out to be
Give me the word of the
Sad, Sad Seventeen

I hope you're satisfied,
The reason why
I'm dead inside.
Keep your clutter
On your own heap,
Pray the devil my soul to reap

You are someone to hold
and truth be told
you're more than gold.

No matter how the story goes
you'll always have your friends and foes.
Burning bridges kills the future.
Even though I belong in the past,
Turn it up and make it last.

Keep close to those who follow
Mind is overflowing, stomach is hollow.
We sing the days away
Where's the fun if there's no play.

Something in the way you teach me
And find your way to reach me.
Nothing is real, and that's just fine.
Just modifying what's already mine.

You tell me the world can't change,
So don't bother me if I do.
Motionless on the floor
But im okay,
I'm just tired of evil today

Maybe it's all a lie
Especially my reason why.
I'd fight for a cause if it fought for me
Till then, I'm with the galaxy

Who are your heroes?
What kind of spell
Do they put on you?
Better count your zeros.
Cant let something you use
Use you too.
Let me be me, and I'll be fine.
And I'll go back to the road
With laces on the line.

Which direction are you headed?
Cause it's lookin mighty low.
But if I don't lose control,
How else will I ever know?

Not enough nights
I can't remember.
Not enough ink
On my skin.
Not enough knowledge
Laid to waste.
Greeting the things
I once called sin.
Thought I knew it all,
King of the world.
Davey Jones' Locker,
Just a slimey old pearl.

All our idols
Suicidals,
In denials,
Crooked smiles.

When nothing else matters,
Dont even care
When everything you live for
Shatters.
Let the music
Bring about your demise,
When the feelings are false,
The darkness will rise.

I'm gonna be
On TV.
Why won't you believe me?
Restless, alone,
And your life is a mess
All because you wanted to fit
In that red dress.

You said everything was alright.
Here I am, violation tonight.
Eyes so dialated,
Life so mutilated,
Wondering why my soul
Hasn't already faded.

It's time to stop
When your only love
Will send you to hell,
Far from above.

Worst part about pain
Is when you remember when you were fine.
After that you feel like dying,
Gonna walk in the rain
So no one can tell you're crying.

The feeling when you've lost
A thing without a  cost
I'll stay safe underneath the covers
And someone up there must think
We like losing lovers.

The air that I breathe
I no longer share with you
When Im stuck in a rut
And I don't know what to do

A moonlit night
A sunset descends outta sight
You could be alive or dead
You're still living inside my head.

They crush your dreams
To better themselves.
Given the credit
Of Santas elves.
They bar the windows,
And they lock all the doors.
They call the men deliquents,
And they label women ******.
Into this world we're thrown
In a direction without our choice.
Whats the point of speaking
When you havent got a voice.
They sit you row by row,
And they all pretend to care.
But as soon as they know your secret
All they can do is stare.
Art is for the artistans,
And the music is for the gifted.
Dont try, you'll never do it,
Anything but keep you lifted.
Before Im in the coffin
And they hammer the last nail.
I'll get out with good behavior,
And then I'll go back to jail.

If I had a canvas
Id display something you'd never forget.
If I were an artist
Id write to you without a regret.

Only if I could
Then I probably would
Tell you all the things
That make me feel good
I wanna have fun
But I dont know if I should
Let's just say Id love you
Only if I really could.

If I knew the world
Id introduce you
If I knew the languages
I bet Id just confuse you.
Just a lost chicken looking for mother hen.
It I could break the law
Id steal you just for me.
If I were a child
I'd go and climb a tree.
Oh the times when
We were ten.

Couldn't call me Jeckyl
Or Mr. Hyde.
Just something im used to
Day or night.
You wanted a thriller, boy
You're in for a ride.
Don't get scared now;
Stay by my side.

I remember innocent ages.
The book of youth
Torn in many pages.
Always hearing silence,
The sounds that are not real.
Without enhancing love,
How else am I supposed to feel?

Where am I going?
What side of life will I lead?
Beware the river flowing,
That's the last thing we need.

Live and let live,
Grown and learn.
Discover before
You crash and burn.
I dont wanna see
My best man die,
Haunting will happen
In the Drink of an I.

There's a fine line
Between a love
And a habit.
Feeling like Alice
Down the rabbit hole.

Don't ever wait
For the worst to come to you,
For the worst will come
When all backs are turned.
You still don't have a clue,
But announce it the day you've learned.

Don'tcha know when to
Stop
Climb out of the ground
Back to the
Top.
Let innocence be your guide.
Hospital bed,
Completely dead?
You've already died.

The thing about the young blood
Is that it has no age to tell
Weather life has been an angel
Or a creature from a hell.
A hell which we created
Within our deepest fears,
The grass becomes intoxicated
With the alcoholics' tears.
You give up hope,
You long for dope,
Just something for the now.
But to sit and observe,
I haven't the nerve,
And I simply could not allow.

Young Blood, Red Mud.
Nobody seems to care.
Just as messy, just as new
Even demons have troubles too
And nobody seems to care.
Nobody seems to care.

I guess I need to confess that this immaculate mess is mine
I'm blessed with the burden that's so divine
Like growing vines that encase you
Replace who makes you wait two times as long
Rhyme a song, find a **** and hoot it
Life's the ****, so shoot it
Who knew that you would be
So blue doing what you were created for
I hate it more than I love it
Covet not
Pop shove it
Stop taking all the credit
Or I'll edit you out
Embedded in doubt
Have you ever drowned in a drought?
Some people call it the pasties
The way they see me is their own business
I live this particular way
Because it was how I was made
Blame the manufacturer
Mother nature fractured her brain
The rain, it cleanses
Life through new lenses
This world needs a bath
To wash away the senseless
Defenseless against the dark arts
There's hard parts of the head
Starts out red
But it slowly flows from a blood rose to burgundy
Heard it from me
The colour pallet awaiting the paint canvas
**** this train of thought went from Katmandu to Kansas
I cant stand this
How its all jumbled and mumbled together
Whether or not it fits the plot is obsolete
Not so sweet with the transitions as far as the topic goes
It stops it goes
It's hot it's cold
I do not know where these thoughts grow
Though I'm content with whatever the noggin sent
To the mouth hole
Like my vocabulary got a toboggan sled
And rode it to the south pole
Faster than Clark Griswald with his fancy *** sled wax
That tore down the mountain with lightning speed
It's frightening we'd
Do something so unrealistic because we sit
Amidst this oblong box
Listen to these odd, long talks
And say hey, they did it, why cant we
How bad could it be?
National lampoon did it flawlessly.

I thought that he was going to discuss
What the fuss is about
But now, how wide we've strayed
Played his word game
This is an absurd sane
Must be crazy
But it don't phase me
Cause I know one day, you'll have nothing to say
And you'll attempt to paraphrase me
Saves me the head and the heart ache
Taking the time to lay low
In this forsaken day glow
Swim over to Havana
Have a banana with Jose Conseco
Hey go on and on
Like donkey kong
Sing me the donkey song
You know, by blue rodeo?
Oh we go on for days
In this phase of saying whatever comes to mind
Have some of mine
The thought process of this confession
Was nothing but
What?
Merely electricity
Created almost instantly
The consistency as you can see
Is never there but I never care
Ever stare at your own hands when you're not high
I am every single line that my thumb has defined
Deoxyribonucleic acid trip
Hey hey hey that just mean DNA
We can play because of this double helix
I can feel it
So surreal its as though I know myself through code
I could explode and I would be only mathematically scattered
I'm flattered that you might feel bad but you're
Overthinking it
Trust me I know
Because I have the capacity
Not to let me demons show
Its me that goes all this way
Monthly second Sundays
To say whatever the hell I have to
Have a laugh or two
Between these increments of sadness
This attraction to madness
Is tearing me limb from limb
Not being a simpleton
It's not an easy task
Ask me about the weather
And I'll mentally kick your ***
PASS
On to the next subject
Ejected that last *** hat because
He was too plain yogurt
If I could have a super power
It would be a one punch, with no hurt
Just to assert logic and rationality
To take you out of your shoes
And place you in reality
Now that we can free you of your amigo
The ego
Can we go on with this metamorphosis
And realise how **** poor this is
Of course this is not the zenith
To how we live
It's a semi civilized society at best
Dividing and devising
Study for the riot test

Curve your enthusiasm with a lyrical ******
Have em once a day like vitamins
The devil, I'll invite him in
Just to look and see what evil truly wants from me
Haunting me constantly
Cant we see that these demons
Even though they're within us
We cannot let them win us
Thus, Me.
I befriend the deep end
The creatures of the week end
We spend a tremendous part of living
Not forgiving ourselves
For **** we had no control over
I'm ******* over it
No longer sober
For I've felt the weight without a crutch
It's such a heavy head to carry
Variables and hairy situations
Enter the train station
Every single person here needs a brain vacation
Its the moderation that gets me in trouble
Double the dose it goes slower the time
When you're intertwined with cloud nine
I'm proud that I have recognized
What resides inside of me
Leo is the lion
But I have no pride to be
The drunken king of the jungle
Iron fist in a stumble
Mumble something dumb?Full of myself but I can still be humble
Dumbledore's sorting hat would slither me in
To slitheryn
For what consists inside of me
I need something to wither in
Considering the very thing that keeps me here is fear.

So to the wolves, throw me
They'll treat me like Mogli
So rogue, I know there's no home to go to
Though I know where I don't belong
I cannot be wrong
I am crucial to the universe?Believe it till I'm in the hearse
Because the worst is always right there?Don't agree
We don't have a word for good dreams,
Cause all we know are nightmares
And I care about it all
I feel the globe in my dome
Actually the galaxy
Is right inside my iris, see?
He who tries to convince me otherwise
With realise that these teal eyes
Keep me safe inside these surreal lies
Why?
Well to recreate this spoken poem
I think I'm from a broken home.
Not in the aspect that my dad wrecked
What it means to be a father.
I could bring it up, but **** it,
Why should I even bother.
But what I meant to mean is this,
And I ain't trying to diss,
Mom gets involved with a man with money
This life is a joke
And ****, its not funny.
He drinks, he drives, he can't see his greed.
He's the reason Alice Cooper wrote
Only Women Bleed
Needed a way out, maybe an outlet
Out to get out of it, and I'm **** well proud of it
How?
Because I get to portray the way you see me.
I don't manifest the detested specimen I'm in.
In fact, I act according to whatever state your head is in.
I'd rather adapt than have to illustrate where the hate originates.
Open the flood gates and explain why the bud makes me feel great.
I'm not okay, and that's just fine.
I wouldn't ask for another life, I want mine
Cause when you combine
Pain and pleasure
It's something you can't measure
You pass gas and someone acts like you're a national treasure.
Better to be loathed for how you help your head
Than to be loved for every little word you've said.
Instead of getting upset, I just like to get high.
It's more socially appropriate
Opposed to sitting inside to cry.
I'm over it, the sober, it's
No life for me
I'd like to see
The colours that only live inside my fantasized make believe
Why??Because I'm alive, god ******
I can live in moderation
You need to work hard to get that californication
No predestination
I create what I want to know
For it goes to show this
Life is thinking that we know bliss
Robbed of what we long for
As if we don't notice
But it's this ******* that we call self
That calls you a ***** and you don't need no help
Because in the end if you depend upon anyone but you
You're hoping that another soul with get you through
Whatever happens to occur
Sure we all could use assistance
But when it's persistent
Then what
Putt putt putt like the little train
Who couldn't do anything by himself
Who would often complain
Drive everyone insane
Till the coffin's a gain
Hey that aint me.

I'm looking for the middle ground
A happy little place where I can make a little sound
So profoundly wound up
I'd hate to unravel
We all want stability
With the ability to travel
To the far off lands that no man has tampered with
To get the whiff of damp air
That the rains just gave you
It will save you
The grave, dude, is a way that you
Give back to the world
And as your body unfurls,
Your presence does not.
Physically you are distant
But never in thought.
Who you are, and what you do,
Will live on
So live long, as long as you can.
Sell your ****, quit your job and buy yourself a van,
And when you get to the end, lend it to some man
Who truly believes he has nothing more to see.
For this man was you.

This mind set, I've sorry, guessing you've been lured in.
I'll leave you to rest
Of the Blessing and the Burden.

How do I feel?
How do I know?
How can I tell
How this should go?

When should I stop?
When should I start?
When do I realize
When I'm falling apart?

What if I'm right?
What if I'm wrong?
What if I hate
What I've been doing all along?

Where do I turn?
Where do I seek?
Where should I go
Where I'll feel unique?

Why do I question?
Why do I wonder?
Why should I ask
Why my thoughts boom like thunder.

Who do I turn to?
Who do I shun?
Who should I follow
Who has already begun?

Who
What
When
Where
Why and
How?
For life, I'd like some answers now

So close
Somewhere in time.
Your memory
Still in mind.
Are thoughts of me
Hard to find?

Remember me,
And what used to be?
Do you recall
Making me fall
At all?
Or were you playing fetch,
Dumb dog and his ball.
What happened there,
And should I care ?

You spoke to me
Finally,
I've only been waiting
An eternity.
You're not the first one.
And the cycle isn't done.

How could you be so naive.
Thinking the eye would ever leave.
You're being stalked without a trace;
Strangers' job to know your face.

A man reveals we're being watched,
And is followed by a ransom.
They stray your mind with your body,
They hope you're feeling handsome.
But they don't really care, about
If you're healthy, or your hair.
All that really matters is how sly they are,
And how quiet we are.

Trust your leader
Trust your God
Don't ask questions
Simply nod.
Critical thinking
Is a habit
And we just cant have it

Drowning in a sea of lies
In a net, I have been caught.
Everything you know
Is everything you're taught.

When they call your name
To play the killing game
Shoot, don't aim.

I am not a soldier,
And neither are you.
We Are Rats
WAR, its true.

Losing all the inspiration;
The reason why I try.
I need myself a mind vacation;
Don't need a plane to fly.
Here I sit without a clue;
No rhythm and no beat.
Nothing will stick without the glue;
A trick without the treat.

The art without the eisle;
The beauty without the beast.
I never thought I'd lose my mind;
My motives in the least.
Positivity isn't present;
Happiness holiday.
Good vibrations took its toll;
But misery here to stay.
Optimism should've been my friend;
Good fortune was my savior.
Negativity shall bring it to an end;
No matter my behavior.

Perhaps there is a single soul;
To bring me from my demise.
Filling up an empty hole;
From underground i'll rise.
From me to you, lets sail away;
In the tide of your ocean eyes.

Your ego
Is your amigo
The friend saying go fast
In a school zone.
The man that makes you stay out
When you should be at home.
Why dont you take your
E- go, go away.

Life is like a song;
If it has a beat,
It should live on.
Excuse me sir,
Something's wrong.

Let me be free;
Let me learn
Why my people
Should never burn.
What makes you supreme ?
Take away your hope to **** a dream.

Can't even fit
Name to face.
An inhumane
Human race.
Your bones are foreign,
Not yours anymore,
They're somewhere in blood on the floor.
Send you to the devils door.

My will to be
Will live through me

I sometimes wonder
What my demons say,
What they plot, and how they play
Out their schemes, and wicked dreams,
I'm oblivious to the signs;
Careful running on stepping stones,
Some of them are landmines.

They may say

Sleep my child, and when you wake
The world will quake, and souls will shake.
They'll know your name, but they
Wont know the game you play.
You're twisted and tormented,
Living in a hell space,
And the highest form of punishment
Is cloaking through your face.
Hiding all the scars, that surely should appear,
Just so all the people say
His head is surely clear.
He needs no aid, he'd never trade
His life for any other,
He's happy, healthy, fit and fine
All thanks to the mother.

But there are things inside of me
A creature and a cure,
And until my mind sparks sanity,
I keep quiet, till im sure.
That there are things
That speak to me,
And so I sit here, singing,
Quietly.
They're sleeping, and I'd hate for them to wake.

The weight of worlds
crushing me.
Still living
Happily.
At least that's what
They once believed
Cause I never asked
To be relieved.
I'll look myself
In the mirror & say
I think i'll wear
the smile today.

Dont mean to toot my own horn;
To shoot my own ****;
To pop my own corn...
But I believe I need a pat on the back
Cause I'm madder than a hatter
As a matter of fact
Ransacked and back at it
Attack attack get back you animals
Crack you in the mandible
With an upper cut with words
With what you heard
Preferred hermit crab
Dab at home alone
With Joe Peschi
Freshly squeezed ecstacy
In the strawberry field next to me
Resurrecting complexity
In depth perception is the equivalent to *** to me
Get to be **** with what you sputter out
Sssstutter nnnow that I mmmmention it
Leave you hanging like a suspension bridge
Ascension is essentially but a smidge of what it is
To be star
Who we are to a blind man
On this very night can
Divinely define us
Or confine us
But if you combine whats
Up and what's in
You win infinity times
Subliminal criminal
Killing it for a living now
Separate the syllables
Take what you're giving out
Prescription is refillable
Your own medicine
Your *** is what your head is in
We needed Nicky Tesla
**** a Thomas Edison
**** decrepit specimen
Might've made the mess we're in
A little more avoidable
Maybe make it Enjoyable to be from planet earth
The worst dirt pile?I've seen in a while
Squandering potential
Pondering presidential
Candidates made of hate
Divided states of Emergency
Divergency is urgent we
Could be so much more than self importance
Hordes of the masses finally off their *****
And protesting the fact that we aren't but packs of classes
He is me as you are he as you are me and we are all together
Every time
If the weather is fine or not
We got to stop this **** poor metamorphasis
For the better its imperative we live
It's just something that I repeat to me
We cannot add division
If we want to live in peace
Equally.

I've got a purple heart,
I've fought no battles but my own.
I heard the bombs go off
In the uncomfort of my own home.
And when the war was over,
I'd be standing all alone,
Mother in emotional infermory,
Father on the phone.
He'd try and tell me its alright
When it was never okay
Said son, salute yourself
On veterans day.

I  wish that I was a book.
I'd read the ending first,
To see if it all gets better,
Or if everything gets worse.
Happy little tragedy,
That everything I love
Happens to be
Bad for me.
Considered Shakespearian,
Depending on what year I'm in.
Hear me in your head,
I'm something you've read.
Wisdom is sung,
Nonsense is said.

I don't wanna ruin it,
But I edited the part
With you in it,
And now I can lie to the world
About how we met.
Stabbed me in the paperback.
So many pages saved for that.
I gotta say,
You are my favourite regret.

Tossed me away,
Like a tattered novel
On the shelf.
Turning the page,
And I'm on another chapter.
Over heartbreak,
Onto laughter.
An autobiography
Writes itself.

It feels like it's been
An eternity or two
Since I had you.
Intertwined,
Body and mind,
With you know who.

And then it happened,
Like a moment passing by.
At this point in time,
It seemed so divine,
And I don't know why.

I caught her scent;
An aroma emitting intelligence.
4 years later, it makes no sense.
Like a mystic riddle without suspense.

It's hard to smile when I'm told
That everything I love in life somehow determines where I go
When this life expires
And my body retires
Its either God at the pearly gates
Or decades of hell fire?
Everything I do could be considered a sin
The list is never ending ?I dont even know where to begin.
Beers, ****
Need for speed,
?Breeding greed?,
Evil deeds.
People see the world
As some sort of mystery.
We can perfect the future
If we analyze our history.
I know I'm not perfect,
Which brings me that much closer to perfection.
A resurrection
Has a definition of rising from the dead.
Jesus said,
"See this bread??Its my body?Now let me be inside you.
Drink my blood
Do everything as I do."
I told my teacher when I was 7
I don't want to go to heaven.
Begging for your forgiveness,
I will never live this down.
I'll take it to my grave
No matter where it may take me.

Out of all the things in this world to fear,
Most of us are afraid to love.
We feel like we've been set ablaze,
Never to raise from ash,
But we've only felt the burn.
It was your turn.
You were meant to be broken,
Only to prove how durable you are.
A smooth sea does not make the sailor.
So take every last one of those toxic thoughts
Put them all in a box and light a match
Because that is not what you are.
You are the culmination of everything before you,
And everything you endure,
Thus making you the vessel of love.
If the people who created you
No longer reside side by side,
Just remember that the entire universe
Went out of its way to send two souls
Through eventual agony
Just for the opportunity to bring you upon this Earth.
You never asked to be born,
You didn't request to live,
So why would you spend your entire being
Questioning why you're here.
Give yourself a purpose to this world.
They can only guide you, but you,
You are the only person you truly have to listen to.
There is everyone else in this world, and there is you.
You can take everything that you've heard,
The compliments, the ridicule,
The encouragement, the hindrance,
And then how it all effects how you live your life
Is how you choose to react to it.
Prove them all, right and wrong.

This is hardly poetry at all, I know
But I don't care if anyone feels this,
This is how I feel.
When this began, there was no premeditation
As to how the structure of this would go.
I merely pour myself out like a kettle
Onto this digital loose leaf for me.
As time goes on, I'll grow morose
For no apparent reason.
The subconscious haunts us.
The weight of the world,
The burden of childhood,
And the load of adulthood
Will wear your head down
Until your teeth become the remnants of sidewalk chalk,
And when that happens, play hopscotch.
There isn't much in this world to look to,
So you make **** sure that it is you.
You, you bodacious, beautiful being that you are.

Please excuse me,
I am loyal.
I'm a jester,
And you're a royal,
But I'm no fool,
And you are not my queen.

You..
My little liquor drink.
What the **** was I thinking?
Sinking in the sand.
Well I'll be ******.
The lonely hearts club band
Needed a front man.
And me? I'm the poster child.
You're supposed to go wild,
But you lost control,
And you roll like thunder.
Wonder where you've been,
Since we're over my thumb,
Cause you're under my skin.
You continue to crawl
Cause I've been through it all,
And you win when you fall.
Its a sin if you call it a day
When you're halfway there.

That they stare, who really cares?
You dare
To defy me,
Try me on for size?
For shame.
Just a piece of the puzzle,
Was apart of the game,
And I tame no emotion.
Oceans coming in waves.
Break down in case of emergency.
Its urgent we use these electrons
To walk upon the earth.
Energy rebirth.
We curse,
We cry,
At first you die inside,
But you ride it through.

And you..
My little liquor drink.
I refuse to let you be the one
That puts me sick in the sink.

I'm addicted to thinking
That if the universe is bursting,
Then the world is shrinking.
Tinker with what you will.
A stinker with time to ****.
Thats all I was, now send me the bill.
And you
Go down so smooth
On the rocks
More often than not.
I forgot what felt like,
The stuper that cupid
Shoots you with is stupid.
To be concluded..
Just kidding, you did.

You, my little liquor drink
I refuse let you be the one
That puts me sick in the sink.
Slippin the pink;
I played for keeps,
And now this guitar weeps for me gently,
This reality was meant to be.
It sent for me.
I went to see the Oracle,
She said that it was horrible.
Ignore the *******, because
What I was gonna be hit with,
I could slip and slide
And send myself off of the deep end.
If we spend the energy
On what we pretend to be.
You can mend it and mould it,
And then you can hold it.
The coldest of souls
Will stoke up the coals
Because they're supposed to.
Roast you like a pig
Who was raised for bacon.
Wine and dine the swine,
So 69 and switch your line of sight.
Divine is right.
Maybe one day I might care.
Until then I'll send you a letter.
Get better
From Paradise to Nightmare.
No, I don't fight fair.
Tear you to shreds,
Embed it in your head
That you're dead to me.
What you said to me,
Its all been disregarded.
Even thinking that I may be
Broken hearted..
Nope. Only *******.
Ope.. I just farted
Even my behind started
Talking **** about you.✌

Been sending myself
Because I'm supposed to.
I've been summoned somewhere else
And I'm going postal.
Most of the time
My mind is trying to concentrate,
But when it comes to you
There's nothing left to
Contemplate.

I know.. I know
We said that we would take it slowly,
But you know me,
How these thoughts arise.
Split down the middle,
It'll hurt like a *****
Just a little bit,
And baby I apologize.
I am not quite cauterized.

Hold on too tight and
Its a white knuckle love,
But I wanna roll on
So let me just buckle up.
Cause I'm in it till the end,
I wanna be your friend.
Even if this is a dream,
Can we play pretend?

I know.. I know
We said that we would take it slowly,
But you know me,
How these thoughts arise.
Split down the middle,
It'll hurt like a *****
Just a little bit,
And baby I apologize.
I am not quite cauterized.
