There are 10 kinds of people in this world,
and binary accounts for them all.

They're happy and sad.
They're ones and zeros.
Villains and heroes.
Villains, yet not all bad.
Despite everything life decides to hurl;
Despite every brick ball of fear
Through the stained glass windows of their minds,
Through it all, they survive.
They're angry and glad.
They're happy and sad.

And in their duality, they're still smiling there
at your sharp hasty words
at your venomous hurt
that you wish so desperately they, too, shared.
Love thy enemy.

Special thanks to Kelley A Vinal for the binary inspiration. You can read her poetry here: http://hellopoetry.com/kelley-a-vinal/

It's pretty solid.

Edit: Holy Daily, Batman! Wow, I'm so honored. Glad you all like it so much! :D
it's lonely at the top
i see it in my mind
i take it it's the same for you
so i won't waste your time

take me to the top
then take me down a step
your ones and onlys come and go
i'll make you half a trap

i want to be your 'something'
possession or a guest
you'll sometimes have your ones
i'll be your second best
around 3/4/10

I do but I don't
I can but I won't
Let you go

I have to honestly ask myself
What is it that I'm holding on to?
Is it just the idea of you?

Maybe this isn't really love
I'm not sure if the feelings I feel
Are a placebo or real

All I know
Is that whenever you come back around
I hold on and don't want to let go
Here I am again,
waiting by the phone.

My whole life
waiting -
for that ring,
there to prove
I'm not in this alone.
"I was really kind about it, I didn't lose my head or anything."
"See.. There's a difference between being nice and being a doormat. You have a tendency to treat others better than you treat yourself."

"You say things to yourself that you would never allow someone to say about another person."

I'm that girl,
the best friend.

Pushed aside
into a box,
waiting for him
to grow tired
of his shiny,
expensive,
new toy.

I'm that girl,
stable,
always available.

Only used
when the new toys
are broken.

I'm that girl,
forever
a best friend and
never
a girlfriend.

Watching from a distance
But so close to touch
Speaking with a tone of affection
But never dare to love
Hurting since I am outside the your box
But inside your life
And yet
I find the loneliness beautiful
As I will forever find you
*My Platonic love

Love
There are so many guys,
who think they're the nice guy,
they think girls only date,
*******.

These 'nice guys' will be friends,
with the girl they like,
they will tell them they care,
every time.

They think they're good friends,
they'll ignore all the signs,
that perhaps the girl isn't,
interested.

They'll declare love for the girl,
only to be 'friendzoned',
then they'll go online and,
complain.

They don't want to be friends,
they wanted love,
unfortunately,
they didn't see the love in friendship.
it hurts for the girl too okay.
What is it that makes you tick?
You sligh fox, always talking so slick.
What is it that makes you so fine?
I spend all day thinking about how to make you mine.
What is it that draws me to you?
You make me feel so high, I can't function at this altitude.
What is it about you that makes me feel?
My illusion of you makes me think this could be real.
Maybe it's the way you aimlessly walk my way.
Maybe it's for the simple fact that your smile can make my day.
Maybe I'm just crazy to actually think,
that I too, can make your heart sink.
Maybe I'm in to deep,
and now I can't help but over think.
I over think your actions and words.
I just can't help it,
This unknown grey area is definatley getting on my nerves.
