They say you've gotta go
Look in their eyes and tell 'em no
The world is not your boss
You are not a fool
Do not let them act cool
Pointing out your flaws
You can beat 'em all
Don't let them make you fall
You're the center of the world
Don't let them put you down
Don't show them your frown
You can be supergirl
*Show them

Trying to sleep,
Really, I'm trying
But thinking of you
I can't help crying
Losing the only thing I knew
But I'll never stop
Thinking of you
Do I already have a poem called Thinking of you?
Cameron Godfrey May 2012
You think you're great
You think I'm less
I'm starting to agree,
I have to confess.
You may not care
And I know I can't make you
You've broken me
But I refuse to break you.
You can be mean
But I won't fight back
I'll fight by your side
And myself, I'll attack.

Misplaced punctuation
I don't know where to stop.
Commas run awry
Jumbled up word slop.
I can't find the middle
I can't find the end
There is no flow to your sour words
The sentences don't blend.
I can take your spelling and grammar
Leaving me just a bit confused
But I can't stand your punctuation
Finding commas you should've used.
You're a book that I can't read
You don't make any sense.
The endless run on sentences
And the constant shift in tense.
Your words change their minds
As you do the same.
But it's not the words' fault.
The writer's to blame.

This is a haiku
I don't know what to say
Refrigerator
I don't mean to make fun of haikus, I'm just having a little fun with my poems :P

I burn inside of my mind
I ache inside of my heart
Tears bleed down from my eyes
My hands tremble
I bite my lip
My face goes red
*When I look at you
Cameron Godfrey May 2012
You try to entertain us
But all you do is strain us
We're supposed to believe you
When your words just aren't true

I am not a fighter
My words are my igniters
I will start a fire
Without flame
But I'm not here for lies
So look me in the eyes
and say I'm not a player in your game

I'll deflect your misinformation
And show it to our nation
That I am not a pawn
I'll make it perfectly clear
That that isn't why I'm here
And that we're waking up now
It's our dawn.
