I know what I'm thinking you don't
Agree.
It may not be right but it's right by me
At the moment it's how I feel, how I see...
Just me, right or wrong.

I am another Life, another Mind
Another throbbing heart
At this time.

You say listen, listen I do
I hear no words of wisdom
I' m hearing nothing new.
There was a time
It was everyone else
Now it's Me
Becoming Myself... Important or not.

I am another Life, another mind
Another throbbing heart
At this time.

Another life to be something
Another life to be nothing
Another life to  win or lose
Another life to laugh and cry
Another life to live, to die.

There once was a garden where everything died
Even the birds had flown off to hide
The mighty oaks had lost all their branches
As for the flowers , long ago had they all of their chances

Even the sky turned black as it flew by
Then all of the clouds had to cry and cry
The floods could not wash away the pain
Those who lived there died or went insane

Laughter had been banned years ago
The crow's kaw kaw , was never a show
The only sound that was to be heard
was the wail of the missing violin's words

Under moonlight , by shadowy night
The strings cried blood and tears for sight
Even the moon overcome lost one dusty tear
to the life missing after all of these years .

One day the cry of the music stopped
The last string had now finally popped
The violin laid down in the ground
and there was never again another sound

And years had now gone on by
No one living then was left alive
There had been a revolt or so
Flowers once again started to grow

Trees sprouted out and began to bud
You could once again feel life's gentle nudge
The grass carpeted the woodland floors
and happiness returned to all once more

Now all had forgotten about the violin
But sometimes if you listen to the midnight's wind
You can hear it while it goes about tuning
for all it's sins had now long been forgiven

I so badly seek approval from friends teachers and coaches because I don't feel the approval from my family
So naturally when I don't do well in a class, or I don't do well at a game or meet I feel super down on myself
Death seduces the weak, and ignores the strong. Suicide roams the air like its a new drug. Death is found in every home, and the last adventure I want to take. I grow to find myself growing weak, anticipating death to kiss me in the moonlight. My world has been spinning, only to see the devil is dancing with us all.

so happy
you needed your space
the further I get
from you
the more I feel
part of the human race
Again
Once more with
The general population
Breathing untainted air
Free from your
consummation
once again life is pure
Without your
participation
stay locked away for good this time

“I love you”
Echoes off vacant walls.
She tried waiting for the perfect moment,
To permit the sacred words to fall.
She undoubtedly believed they had ample time.
If only she knew tragic fate would befall.
He’s bleeding out too fast to stop.
“I love…. “  begins to squirm and crawl,
As her lover’s heart deplorably stalls.
If you love someone make sure you let him/her know.  I rather live with embarrassment versus regret.

Each curl of conversation
stills my tongue, half-sentences
stranded in the mire
of biting reason

words silently form
protests, defenses
reasons and intentions

worthless to ears already fed
with the insistent conundrum
accompanying every attempt
at reconciliation.
