You can burn me a thousand times
And I'll keep running back
I suppose I prefer heart burn
Over a heart attack
Cameron Godfrey Aug 2013
Can you hear that bell?
Or is it my mind?
That bell that tells
I'm out of time

Can you hear that bell?
Can you hear that ding?
Can you hear the screams
And the monsters that sing?

Can you hear that bell?
One you can't escape
As a labyrinth appears
Right in front of your face

Can you hear that bell?
Or is it just my mind?
Can I escape
This labyrinth in time?
'twas a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy first week of high school.
Maybe I'll document my entire year like this.
Don't hold me to that.
Cameron Godfrey Oct 2013
Can you capture forever in a box?
Can you ship it to me overnight?
Can you capture eternity and store it
In the shadows where you hide from the light?
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2014
Can you capture forever in a box?
Can you ship it to me overnight?
Can you capture eternity and store it
In the shadows where you hide from the light?

Can you capture forever for me?
Can you wrap it and seal it with a kiss?
'Cause there is time to be spent and memories to be made
That I don't want to miss

Can you build me a shiny time capsule?
And fill it with memories of the past?
If you can't capture forever
At least make those memories last.
Cameron Godfrey Aug 2012
You kept your coat in the cold
You never let me win
Not my knight in shining armor
But the carrier of sin.
If I was stuck up in a castle
A helpless lady in distress
Would you fight a mighty dragon
To save your broken princess?

You treat me like I'm weak
But still you're not there when I fall.
If I really was to break
Would you even mourn at all?

Lucky I am strong
Though you slowly make me weak
But I was built to withstand
Your crap and not to weep.
I'd be there to catch you
If you were in my place
You are not my knight
You're a beautiful mistake

I am not that object that you can throw away
I am not that princess who needs you to save the day

I am not that fragile girl who always lets you win
Because I'm the queen of your castle
And you're the carrier of sin
I am not letting him get his way next time. And I'm not gonna let him beat me at Foosball again, lol.
Cameron Godfrey May 2014
Quiero escribir cartas a tu cuerpo que vive debajo de la tierra
Pero tengo palabras en mi mente que no puedo permitir afuera.

Tengo millones de cosas decir que estan enterrados contigo
No puedo hablarlos a una tumba porque no sería lo mismo

Asi escribo cartas a nadie porque nadie quiere escuchar.
Quizás alguien querra oirme cuando no estoy aquí contar
Cameron Godfrey May 2013
Censor it.
Withhold it.
Nobody wants to know.
Don't ask. don't tell.
Don't spill. Don't show.

Censor it.
Withhold it.
Keep in under locks.
Think it, okay
But say it, do not.

Censor it.
Withhold it.
They don't want your opinion.
Society's your leader.
And you are its minion.

*Don't be its minion
I wrote a poem about cheating on tests and why people do it. But I guess it's wrong to expose that.
I just wanted to show that maybe if people cared more about learning and less about grades we could stop it. Kids cheat because they care more about their grades than they do about learning. That's disgusting, isn't it?
Cameron Godfrey Jun 2012
He didn't say he loved me too
But what had I expected?
He challenged me to kiss him
Challenge accepted.
both of these things actually happened
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
The distance won’t stop you
From tearing me apart
You run around with her
But play with my heart
If I was on the other
Side of the deal
Maybe I’d know
How that girl could feel
But I know how I feel
The feeling of pain
Because I’m just a part
Of your silly cheating game.
Cameron Godfrey Sep 2015
Lake before my eyes
Prickly grass beneath my thighs
The soft sound of geese

Soon I'll go inside
Back to brick walls and cold tiles
But for now I'm free

Lake before my eyes
Green and brown grass and grey skies
Not clean, but still pure

Soon I'm returning
Back to lessons and learning
I'll take what I can

Always I will know
That I've still got miles to go
Before I can sleep
We had class outside today.
Cameron Godfrey Jul 2015
Look me in the eyes
And tell me without lies
That you don't love me too
If you don't love me
Please just set me free
And I'll stop bothering you
If you want to leave
Give me reason to believe
That this is really over
All I ask of you
Is the honest-to-God truth
Please, just give me closure
Cameron Godfrey Jul 2013
"It's a cloud," they tell me, "that's all that it is"
The way a stone is a stone, and a brick is a brick.
"But, see? It's a flower, it's a rose without thorns"
"It's a duck with no bill, it's a dancing unicorn!"
Stratus and Cirrus? They cannot define
These beautiful creatures that dance in the sky
You hide behind reality, what you know to exist
Living through life but only catching a glimpse
Of what life has to offer
Just look at the clouds!
Stories untold that beg to be screamed aloud.
Refusing to tell them is what makes a brick a brick
But sometimes that isn't all that there is!
Look in the sky
Listen to it's tales
For reality is boring
But dreams prevail.
It's a metaphor or something.
The happy ones are never as good.
Cameron Godfrey Sep 2013
There's a certain sort of stillness
In the air
The oxygen is stale
The livelihood's not there
Where did it all go?
What happened to the spirit?
There is terror in the air
But the whole world's too afraid to hear it.
Too busy with their lives
With their work and with their play
Too busy with sweet dreams
To hear the nightmares say:
"Come out, come out, where ever you are
Come out, come out to dance!
Come out, come out, whoever you are
Come out and take a chance"
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy there was no school today.
Day 6 is tomorrow!
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
Completely incomplete
No longer whole
Just trying to get back
The heart that you stole
Entirely broken
And failing to survive
A terrible feeling
That I may not come out alive
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
I don’t know what love is
But my heart says it’s this
My heart says it’s not wrong
But my head says it is.
I can’t help falling
Completely in love
Because you’re the only one
I ever think of
When I see you
There’s no one else I see
If only you’d fall
In love with me
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2012
That day will last forever
the last waking moments spent.
The time we were together,
and the perfect dreams I dreamt.
The conflicting feelings will linger,
I’ll remember you handing my hand.
our interlocking fingers
I’ll remember, those moments were grand.
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2013
Frozen, flaky, fragments
Of forward flashing time
Stellar stars are stupefied
When you beg them to align

For angry angels answer
And angry angels weep
Scribbled constellations
Will sing your soul to sleep
Alliteration what
#napowrimo
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
You’re rude, you’re awful
You’re liked, you’re loved
You always get your way
You’re mean, pathetic
Offensive but praised
And no one will stand up to say
That you don’t deserve
The laughter and praise
You don’t deserve the applause
I don’t deserve to be punished
For trying to help the cause
I may have been wrong
but you were worse
Who would’ve known courage
Could’ve been such a curse.
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
I remember him old and sick
Never lively or free
Now I'm left wondering
If he ever smiled at me
I was only a child
When his life passed away
I can barely remember
The dreadful day
His life was a miracle
Only supposed to last a while
If only I could remember
The way he used to smile.
All the times I have forgotten
All the memory lost
I never thought that crying
Would ever help the cause
But crying is all I can do
For every memory's a blur
All that's left is the picture of
'Daddy's little girl'
Cameron Godfrey Dec 2012
I'll show them respect and I'll do the right thing.
Words of good spirit, I promise I'll bring.
I'll do the good deeds you can no longer do.
I'll be a good person and I'll do it for you.
Every student got his or her own victim to do the right thing for. Everyone has personally spent a day doing the right thing for each person specifically. We're not letting anybody go unnoticed. I got the name Daniel Barden and I'm writing this just for him.
Cameron Godfrey Sep 2012
There's this place called earth I could visit someday, but I'm stuck in a daydream and I like it that way.
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
There's this place called earth I could visit someday,
but I'm stuck in a daydream and I like it that way.

Maybe I'm afraid of a harsh, fatal fall
But when I get off this cloud, I'll visit you all

There's a place on a cloud where I live every day
Please, oh please, don't take it away.
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
I'm drifting asleep, just waiting for him.
Days like this, even the sunshine seems dim.
He'll never respond, he'll never return.
Still I let myself wait, let my heart churn.
I might just collapse from all the heartbreak,
But still just waiting for him keeps me awake.
My mind’s floating away, away with the night,
Missing the days when the sun was so bright.
But I'm drifting asleep, just waiting for him.
Days like this, even the sunshine seems dim.
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
Gone with my sanity
The love that we had
Out with the good
In with the bad
Something has gone
Someone has bled
Someone's alive
And I'm the one dead.
It's become a reoccurring theme in my day to day life; everything is awful.
Cameron Godfrey Sep 2012
There’s a dead end at the end of the road
Where I go on my own to silently implode.
Where I lay on my back in the shade of a tree
Where I set my mind on fire and I set myself free.
Lightning strikes and thunder booms,
I lay in the rain, at my *dead end of doom.
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
Defeat is expected
A necessity of success
But defeat is my shadow
And my life is a mess.
Crying in public
Like I don’t even care
But I cannot help it
The pains everywhere.
I try to conceal it
To keep it inside
But somethings are always there
Somethings you just can’t hide
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
You can't define who I am
You don't know me at all
Maybe you think I'll be fine
So you go and you let me fall
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
All these days of deprivation
From sleep, from dreams, from you
All these days of wishing on stars
Wishes that don’t come true
Waiting for something that will never arrive
Waiting for something unreal
Waiting for my heart to stop crying
Waiting for my wounded mind to heal
All these days of deprivation
From sleep, from dreams, from you
All these days of wishing on stars
Wishes that won’t come true
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
Love is nothing but a disorder of the hypothalamus
But there's no easy cure
I've fallen in love with the broken trust
And I just can't take anymore
I had to look up Hypothalamus for health... I found that. Sorta my awkward inspiration
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
Distracted by you
Can't think of anything else
Hurting other people
Hurting myself
Ignoring the facts
And the real honest truth
Hurting everyone
Because I'm distracted by you
Cameron Godfrey Nov 2012
I love what I do
But the things I don't do
Seem more important than the rest.
I love sleeping and writing and listening to music
And I love doing my best
But when my best has been done
When it's not enough
I don't pass the test
I cry in a ball and I want to start over
Doing my best
I a little bit can't do anything

What even was that sentence
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2013
I'm done with every teacher
The constant reprimand
I'm done with students (creatures!)
I'm done with your commands.

I'm done with angry shouts
And tear that spend the night
I'm done with crying pouts
I'm done with constant fright.
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
Okay. I’m done,
My final word
Until I can fly free,
On the wings of a bird
I’m done with the madness
The pity, The pain
I’m done with the crying
This sorrowful rain.
But most of all, I’m done with you
And hanging on
To your words that aren’t true.
I’m done
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2012
My fingertips are empty, I think I’m fin’lly done,
The day that I’ve been dreading finally has come.
A blank mind that has been wiped, in one single nights rest.
My brain is like a little bird that had to leave the nest.
I guess it is a good thing, that all the past is gone
But why do I feel I need to continue, or just sing one final song.
Sadly, I’m not perfect, so what do you expect?
This is an honest feeling, that I just can’t neglect.
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
I'm not my mistakes
I am not my name
I'm not just another "Cameron"
I'm not the same.

I'm my own person
If you wanted to know,
Why don't you ask me
I'll let it show

I'm not just there
For you to be brutal
Because right here, right now
Your absence is crucial
I need you to go away.
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
Mom, my head hurts
My stomach aches.
Mom, I'm losing it
Mom, can I go late?

Mom, I forgot my homework
I just don't want to fail
Don't make me go back
Mom, I'm feeling frail.

Mom, I've got the chicken pox!
Mom, I have the plague!
Mom, I can't walk
Mom, I broke my leg!

Mommy, mommy
Don't make me go
I'm completely falling apart.
Mom, I refuse to leave
Every where I hurt.

There's no excuse, no reason why
Everything just *****.
I know I need to learn something
I just don't give a ****.

It's not like I'm learning anyway
No answers for which I've yearned
On one hand, I can count
The values that I've learned.
This is all over the place

I'm just sick of getting out of bed and going through hell every day. I haven't learned anything this year. It's just homework and grades and I'm sick of it.
DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK I HATE IT.

God, I'm so childish.
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
Don’t walk away when I’m talking to you
I clearly have something to say
You never stop to think how it makes me feel
When you simply just walk away
Don’t talk to him when I’m talking to you
Is he better or cuter then he is
Don’t you once maybe think that it hurts?
That here is just not where you want to be?
Don’t start to talk then leave ‘cause he arrives
Do you want me to feel like you don’t care?
Just don’t walk away when I’m talking to you
Don’t just walk away ‘cause he’s there.
Cameron Godfrey Jun 2012
I'm just afraid that your vision is blurred
From the idea that I am exactly like her
You tell me I'm pretty
But are you talking about me?
When you imagine my face
Who do you see?
Your intentions are good
But you come across rotten
Do you know who I am
Or have you forgotten?
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
Dreaded and attained, burnt, scarred, and damaged.
He said he'd never hurt me, I thought I could manage.
He never intended the suffering, he never intended the pain.
He didn't know, he'll never see, my crying like the rain.

But I know that he kills me. Damages me inside.
Word cannot begin, not even start to describe.
The pain that I've been feeling, the pain the scars me so.
But what hurts the most is knowing, that he will never know.
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
Dragged by the ankles and kicked while I'm down

Falling
           and
                Falling
                          and
                               Drowning
                                               by
                                                 now

Pushed me into the water, the lava, the hell

Pushing
             and
                  Pushing
                              and
                                   Killing
                                           Myself

Saved by an angel whose touch is a curse

Why
   Couldn't
                They
                        Just
                             ****
                                   Me
                                       First?
Don't worry about me
Cameron Godfrey Sep 2013
I swear one day I'll die
Drowning in tears
And I'll look up from hell
On all of those years
Those years that I hated
I hated my self
Those years that I waited
With my *** on a shelf
I waited for you
I waited for me
I waited to die
And I waited to see
What lurks in the shadows
What dances six feet under
What causes the rain
And the lightning and thunder
Maybe I'll die
Drowning in laughter
And I'll look back from heaven
On a happy ever after
Cameron Godfrey Aug 2013
You are now what you are not
Your good and evil plan
I suppose you are my strongest fear
The fear of the duality of man

Some may call it two faced
You aren't but you can
Be something but my greatest fear
The fear of the duality of man

You once were an angel
Gripping kindness in your hand
But devils walk around you
Enforcing this duality of man
Cameron Godfrey Jan 2014
I'm fresh out of emotions; I'm dying inside
Like something crawled through by pores, through my veins, and it died
I'm weak and I'm withering; I'm dead and I'm cold
I'm falling apart, rusting, growing mold
I'm sick and pathetic and bitter and detached
There's an itch inside of me that can never be scratched
I'm broken and hurting-- Far beyond repair
I'm dying inside
*But I really don't care
Cameron Godfrey Apr 2012
You're tearing a hole in the ozone layer.
The earth is a vampire and you are its slayer.
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
Entirely clueless,
at a loss, drawn a blank.
And everything's wrong,
every move that I make.
Entirely absent
Incoherent in the mind,
Everything's confusing
And I'm always behind.
I'm sick of being the last
Behind all the rest,
*I'm sick of being alone
Cameron Godfrey Jan 2013
Thinking of you as my savior, my hero.
Making it true is dividing by zero.

Error.
Cameron Godfrey Mar 2012
An everlasting darkness is developing around.
The world is spinning endlessly at the constant speed of sound.
Making piercing noise but not hearing a thing
My ears are frozen solid; I can’t hear danger sing.
The everlasting darkness is approaching quick
Coughing from the smokes of hell, making myself sick.
The world once sparkled, but the dark is bleeding through
Heaven’s light's collapsing, all because of you.
Cameron Godfrey Nov 2013
Some things for which I'm grateful always seem to go unmentioned
And I'd like to tell these things to you that clearly deserve attention
I'd like to thank you for the times that I needed your help
The calls you answered every time in sickness and in health
I know it might seem strange to give my thanks for all the struggles
For all the little things for which I managed to get in trouble.
For some reason you accept me and I find that quite absurd
But I'd like to reciprocate and give you my sincere word
That regardless of what you do, regardless of what you say
I'll be there for you no matter what at the end of every day
I'm grateful for you always and I'm grateful this thanksgiving
I'm grateful for my friends that always make my life worth living.
I'm grateful that God blessed the path that I chose to take
The path that led me to meeting you, just a culmination of my mistakes
The mistakes I made, the struggles I faced, and the stupid things I've done
I've lost so many times but finding you means that I won.
I've lost so many people but I've won so many more
And I'm thankful for every open window and every deadlocked door.
Cameron Godfrey Jul 2015
We've always been on the same wavelength
Darling, we're one and the same
I thought that would give me an upper hand
In this stupid love triangle game

We've got the same sense of humor
We're so ******* close that it hurts
I thought that it would be a blessing
But it turns out it has always been a curse

I know you like the back of my hand
I can recite you by memory like a prayer
I cannot avoid these feelings
Somehow they're always there

But you like her. Hell, I like her too
And maybe she is perfect for you
But I cannot believe it true
For I'm stuck to your side like superglue

She's not you and she's not me
She's something else entirely
And maybe that's just what you need
Everything I'll never be
Cameron Godfrey Feb 2013
Nothing's wrong
Nothing's wrong
Everything is fine
It's the same **** answer
Every
*******
Time
