We all have separate thoughts, 
We wonder about people's plots. 
It's a tough world we're in, 
We all just can't fight off our own sin. 

We must keep going and persevere, 
It's hard though in this world of fear. 
I know  how it feels to be scared, 
But sometimes you can't be prepared

We all need our answers in our lives,
We look around and let out our cries. 
It stays silent but the answer's there
You just need someone who cares. 

Just when you think it's over it not,
You may lose the battle you fought. 
The scene is scary and really sad, 
You may never really feel this bad. 

It's hard for me and that's for sure, 
I don't even know what to fight for. 
For friends or my own pride, 
What's really worth dying inside?

I hate it here in this large universe,
I can't stand living with this curse. 
It's so deadly but you're  just stuck,
I try to run and hide but I'm out if luck. 

I need you here by my side,
Anyone who can get me back pride. 
Nothing lasts forever I promise this, 
I just need to find my sweet bliss. 

We need to stand together as one,
To some the fight will be won.
Keep fighting and you'll meet an end, good or bad you'll find out it depends. 

I'm losing and I can't help it, 
I have fallen in a dark black pit. 
I can't see where I'm going I'm so lost,
I need a light to help me across. 

I love you and need you here, 
You need to help me leave this fear. 
I have a lot to say but I just can't, 
I hear these voices as they just chant

I will soon have my answers I know, 
I need something that I can show. 
People expect things from me, 
I don't know why but I need the key. 

I'll be done soon I can tell
But it's hard when you're living in hell. 
I'll be fine don't you worry, 
The answers are beginning to scurry

This is the end my dear sweet friends
Goodbye to you as this all ends. 
We'll see each other soon I pray, 
But for now I'll be going astray.
Just a little something I did last October.
Dennis Meeker Mar 2014
Make a move
  There is no God
    Can I leave this place?
      Erase my memory from here.

I could leave someday
  Maybe even today
    Go into the eternal light
      Never return from the flight

Floating into the darkness
  Up and down , everywhere around
    So numb, am I alive
      Am I going away or moving in?

                          Am I still alive?



Do you think I am?



                                                 Do I want to be?



Why should I be?



Will I ever get a chance?
  Where do I go?
    Should I chase it?
      Is any of it worth it?

I want to leave
  I need peace
    I'm going to search for it
      I'm going away
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
Heart pounding, like a drum beating heavily inside.
Head spinning, like looking over a mountain edge.
Stomach turning, like you've just eaten bad fish.
Panting, like you've just ran to the edge of the earth and back.
Tiredness, like you've been awake for days.
Nightmares, flooding your dreams like watching memories on video.
Weakness, like you've fallen from the sky onto your knees.
Dizziness, like you're walking through the Sahara Desert.
Boiling temperature, like you're laying under the Death Valley sun.
Anxiety, like you've gone crazy and can't escape a tiny, tiny cell.
Dennis Meeker Mar 2019
Digging a grave forever
Making a bed to lie in
To never wake up
And never pull myself out

Closing my eyes to see the world
Seeing the storms over it
Watching it all burn away
The oceans spilling from my head

There is no solace
It all burns away
Getting hotter every second
Eating away at my brain

The heart decaying
My legs get weaker
Feeling everything until it's gone
The air is numbing

Breaking walls that hide nothing
Burning the bridges of the future
Slamming my head to stop the noise
The silent screams never end

I need a hand to pull me out
But I don't want to go
Nothing good can come from it
The path has been scrubbed away

There is nothing left to lose
But I still want to keep it
Staying in the pit of darkness
An endless hole I've fallen into

I feel like I'm diseased
Poisoned without a cure
Seeing a light that isn't there
There is no point chasing it

I've given myself up
I've let go of everything
There's nothing left
No reason to move
Dennis Meeker Aug 2014
As I have watched the dew satisfy the land
Or the many times you brushed over my hand
I stand amongst the trees in a dreadful fear
Wondering why I try to get so near

The thick fog of morning clouds my mind
The fires of the morning sun light a path I may never find
I spare only a glance away from the wonder
Only when my peace is torn asunder

The entire world and all of its beauty
Can not keep my mind from going off duty
The breath of air and scent of flowers
Can not stop the frightful way my mind cowers
Dennis Meeker Dec 2012
There was such a tragedy today.
An elementary school was broken hearted.
Students were killed and their lives swept away.
It is so sad a thing for all those who departed.

Why would anyone do such an awful deed?
I give such empathy to all those passed.
Does anyone have a good creed?
Those poor children had their lives taken away so fast.

All of the memories of those who are gone,
Will be cherished forever by those they love.
They will never get to have new memories drawn.
I pray for the families and loved ones of those gone above.
My thoughts, prayers, and empathy go out to all of the loved ones of those who were lost today. Nobody should ever have to go through such a tragic and life altering event. It is hard to believe someone would ever want to do such a terrible thing. It hurts all of America and most importantly, anyone who knew those that lost their short-lived lives today. I pray you all can heal soon and for those that were lost, may you rest in peace.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
For as long as I can remember,
There's never been a wonder such as December.
The time where everything seems to happen together,
And all of those walks in the freezing cold weather.

The time of celebration begins as Christ was born,
Or awaiting the new year as the old one is torn.
Where friends get together and make new memories,
And they all share so much of the same energies.

The time where many sit and live out their days,
They feel as they will never make it through the haze.
Where cold storms blow and cause destruction,
For many it will be the ultimate corruption.

What it really is though is much more than this,
It can be a source of sorrow or bliss.
The winding hours of your year,
Will they be spent in more tears?
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
To put in perspective,
You get one shot to make it right.
You get one chance to be effective.
Just one.

You think you get infinity,
But that's where you're wrong.
You need to make it to affinity.
We tend to sit back and wait.

You miss so many chances.
Opportunities leave because you were lazy.
You disregard all the glances.
The glances telling you to go.

Never wait around for things to happen.
You get held down instead of moving.
When you wait, things get misshapen.
I will never wait around again.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
Sometimes I feel bad.
Sometimes I feel rad.
Sometimes I feel amazing.
Sometimes I feel I'm hazing.

But who am I kidding?
I don't even know what I'm saying.
I'm just going on and on feeling so many things.
I don't usually feel strong for long.

I'm happy, I'm happy,
I'm confused, I'm happy,
I'm sad, I'm confused,
I don't know why but I get so ******.

I need to figure things out,
That's without a doubt.
I love my life,
I hate this strife,

Sometimes it hurts like a knife.

I'm stronger now than I ever was,
I guess it's a good help to my cause.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
Sometimes life is hard to survive,
But you have to continue to strive. 
Your strength may seem to fade, 
We may stumble and fall into shade. 

Sometimes we will encounter pain, 
It'll seem so bad as you sit in the rain. 
Pain is a thing meant to keep inside, 
But it may show as we lose our pride. 

We may hate it but pain will stay in us
It doesn't matter if you cry and fuss. 
We all live with it that's what they say
But some live perfect lives every day. 

Life is a game not meant to be fair,
From the time we're born to lost hair. 
Some were created better than me,        
I just wish they weren't set so free. 

I don't know when this will all close, 
I just have to sit and wait I suppose. 
I will fight for everyone sad and live,
It is the most I can do except forgive.
Dennis Meeker Apr 2013
To be free from the strife.
Only one thing left to find.
The essence that comes from the burdened space inside.
The glow of the light that soon dulls do a flicker.

The burden of facing the darkness with no light.
It is so tiring to wander around with no light.
Going nowhere in the right direction.
Having nowhere to go.

Knowing what is to come next is the easy part.
Thinking about what has already happened is the hardest thing of all.
Setting aside the burden the truth bestows upon hate.
The raging inside knowing it is still alive.

Floating around in the darkness.
Staying in the darkness for all of eternity.
Staying alive in the world with nothing left to do.
To find the light and move on to somewhere else.

Finding the freedom and clenching on to it.
Never letting it go.
That is the only thing needed.
"The price of freedom is steep."
Dennis Meeker Aug 2014
Reality is getting hard to bear
I'm not sure what is really there
What I want isn't here
When I open my eyes my nightmares appear

When I close my eyes you're there
I can't help but think it isn't fair
I miss having you to hold
I want you with me even when I'm old

I guess you could say I'm scared
There's never been someone like you who cared
You've done so much for me
And I still don't feel free

I feel so lonely here but I'm not alone
I miss being with you when the stars shone
Everything I do goes back to you
I don't know what else I can do

I don't want to be older
The winters have been colder
If we get separated for years apart
Please don't forget about my part
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
I'm a victim in this violent world.
In this world there's a crazy flow.
It doesn't make any sense.
I really just want to go.

I'll be free from this world.
Free from the pain.
I don't like it here.
I find happiness but it turns to shame.

My anger turns to fears.
My fears turn to tears.
My tears turn to sorrow.
My sorrow bids goodbye to my morrow.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
I know this place.
This dark, horrid place.
This place is nothing but a nightmare.
A nightmare that eats me away.

I go round and round trying to get away.
Each time it's different.
Each time I feel different.
I know how to leave, but I feel at home.

I know it isn't right calling it home,
But where else do I have to go?
Who else can I turn to?
Who can I turn to besides the Dark?

No one cares enough to stay as much.
No one knows me better than it.
Maybe I do belong here.
In this scary nightmarish place.

It can't be true though.
I know someone will get me out.
Someone will keep me from walking right back in.
They will be my hero.

They will never be forgotten.
I will cherish that person forever and ever.
I need a savior to rescue to me.
I can feel them getting closer to me now...
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
To be young is amazing.
Getting older is a sad, but enlightening feeling.
You can do things freely as young kid,
But get a feeling of gratitude by growing up.

Being young and feeling old is a very interesting feeling.
It makes you feel grown up and accepted.
Wanted.
Needed.

Being old and feeling young is interesting.
I haven't gotten old yet, but I'm old enough to know.
I'm not going to like it.
I'd rather be young and wild
Than old and mild.
Dennis Meeker Jan 2013
I know a hero.
I bet you do too.
What is a hero though?
Is it someone who saves people?

Is a hero a person who pulls someone out of a burning building?
Maybe someone who takes the fall for someone else.
It doesn't have to be someone who looks gilding.
It can be a stranger you've never met.

A hero is that someone who doesn't let words bother them.
A person who can go about life in a happy manner.
They can take a problem and break it off like a stem.
They can do anything they want.

And I admire all of you like that.
Dennis Meeker Aug 2014
I don't dream of many things
But I have had one dream for many years
It's the one I wish were real life
Only recently I've thought it may actually be

I've been having a surreal time
It's funny how it never lasts
This time I even knew why
It's as if the universe taunts me

I can never be left alone
I'll be in a worse spot than years ago
There is no place for hope anymore
It's either real or imaginary

It's an answer I'm afraid to know
I can't avoid it much longer
It's been too many years
I can't go on like this

Maybe I shouldn't even try
Maybe the worst is inevitable
My mind is always deceiving me
It is the worst feeling

It keeps me up every night
I only dream while awake
I know I won't make it genuine
My dreams become my worst nightmares
Dennis Meeker Sep 2014
It keeps happening
I can't stop it forever
Eventually I'll return to years ago
You were always able to stop me

You gave me hope
I need something to help
I can't do this alone
I want to do it again

If I'm here I can't be stopped
I can't fight it much longer
I want to put it off forever
It's just so tempting though

I think I'm doing something wrong
I don't want to fail you
I don't want you mad at me
I just feel like I need this

I tried it one night
It was before we were torn apart
I couldn't do it though
I thought of you and stopped

I can't keep doing that
I'm just so angry inside
I need to change
I need you here with me
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
I may not be important to some,
I may be the trauma to others.
I will remain myself at all times. 
I will stop and I will close the shutters.  

I don't know what I'm afraid of
I don't know what is real. 
All I know is that my heart is out,
And everyone closes the seal. 

I'm a victim in this huge world,
I am the dirt people walk over. 
I feel as if I'll be a faint memory, 
I may never get picked as that clover. 

I will walk alone into this place. 
I will not cry as I drown in hate. 
I will beat the world in the end. 
I will shake the pain as it's my fate. 

The world can take me of it wants, 
I don't care I have nothing to lose. 
All I have is sorrows upon pain, 
And the hardest choices to choose. 

Rip my skin from me and tear me up,
Steal my soul and take me away. 
I have nothing to lose,
I promise it's all okay. 

My path is a battle waiting to show,
It's the fight that I reap to the end. 
I'll do what it takes to win,
I'll do whatever I can so I can fend. 

I don't care anymore,
Nothing else matters. 
I'm just a piece of meat,
A soul to be served on evil's platters. 

It doesn't matter because I'm done, 
But I don't want it to be done for. 
I'll keep fighting for what it's worth,
I'll do what it takes to always endure. 

My fate is to lose though. 
I just know it.
My life is irrelevant here. 
I am just playing in this dumb skit. 

Why should I care if they don't return, 
But they fight like I am a toy in here. 
I'm not important in this place. 
I'll just stay and fight all my fear. 

I have so many ways to lose,
I have none to make it to the top. 
I shall find out how hard it is,
How hard it is just be able to stop. 

The promises witnessed broken. 
The times I can't trust anyone. 
So many appear to me. 
So many destroy all of my fun. 

Trust is a funny thing. 
I trust and get beaten down. 
I don't know why I do anymore. 
The damage in me can't be sewn. 

I'll never recover from this damage. 
I'll always be in this cocoon of pain. 
I guess I really can't ever win. 
I will finally at the end be slain.
Dennis Meeker Mar 2019
I'm just a clone in this reality
An empty vessel on the sea
Darkness coming from the light
It never does say very bright

My heart beating like a drum
The faceless enemy making me numb
Feeding the fire that's inside
I guess I can say that I've tried

The haunting walls all around me
Years later and I'm still not free
Free to leave this space for good
All I can do is pull up this hood

Living in a hollow shell
How long, only time will tell
Melting away this wax cocoon
Smiling a hindrance rather than boon

This is not what I need
All I want is to be freed
I am destined to fall
Just to walk down a dark, empty hall

I promise that I will fail
To the dark world I will hail
I will continue try and try
Although I'm not quite sure why

From a young child to a hollow man
I've done all it is that I can
I welcome to my life all the danger
It is a part of me and is no stranger

I'll pay my toll at the gate
I may as well accept this fate
Until I find there's no way through
I'm just waiting in an endless queue
Dennis Meeker Dec 2012
As I watched the stars in the night sky,
I couldn't help but want to fly.
It was much better than wanting to die.
I had a real smile and I didn't know why.

I often wonder who else is looking up at the same stars as me.
Staring into the moonlight.
Who else wants to take flight?
I often get intrigued and want higher so I sit in a tree.

I sometimes sit until the morning.
Until the sun shines up high.
Making it a bright crimson sky.
It's so peaceful and there's no warning.

I can be malleable at times.
I listen to the wind and it's word.
I hear the chirping of the morning birds.
My conscience can be sold with just dimes.

When I finally go to sleep I have dreams.
They turn terrible though.
It brings memories from so long ago.
My nightmares have me breaking at my seams.

I don't even know what reality is anymore.
My head gets so heavy.
The stream of thoughts break through my levee.
My nightmares ruin even those that I adore.

Everything so great seems an illusion.
I can't figure it out.
I feel so stout.
My body finally goes through a reperfusion.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
The madness creeping through my veins. 
The evil lurking through my body. 
Trying to take control once more. 
It'll stop at nothing and win at nothing. 

It can try but it won't succeed. 
It's a battle to be fought forever. 
We all have our battles and we all fight. 
Those who chose to give up will always lose. 

If everyone fought their own battles then there would be less problems. 
If we all were stronger things would be better. 
If we all were respectful less problems would appear. 
If we all got along life would be great. 

We all have different fights inside. 
Different pain that can't heal. 
Pain that can only be fought forever. 
Some pain is to just let go. 

It crawls through you like snakes. 
Slithering through to the core. 
Eating you up until you're weak. 
To have the will and faith is the only way. 

Other people may see your fighting. 
Other people may try to help. 
To some, trying to help means losing sight of their own battle. 
This can be good or bad. 

To scream from the pain as it creeps. 
To cry as the slithering courses on through. 
Others watch and some open up to their battles. 
To some people it causes more battles. 

Passing your pain and leaving it in the night. 
Leave it all behind. 
Be strong. 
Never let it touch you again. 

Scream as it bites at you. 
Throw it away. 
Rip it out of you. 
Fight it, and it will forever be dead in the darkness. 

It wants you to die. 
It's so evil. 
The pain inside won't give up. 
It'll watch you fall away. 

Tear it from your body. 
Leave it for dead. 
Don't let it back in. 
We'll be fine. 

You're body is a home for goodness. 
Bodies have been laid out flat with the victory of evil. 
Some laid out after a life of good. 
Let the pain go away. 

The evil pain in your body is gone. 
Your life is your battleground. 
Your life is yours. 
You life is in your hands.
Dennis Meeker Apr 2013
There is no one else that sticks around like you.
No one knows how to tackle my mind like you do.
It is crazy how well you know me.
If I could only have one friend you would be my only.

I do not know how I gain the courage to open up.
I do not even think about it with other people.
I get a strange feeling of strength around you.
You always help me when I get so blue.

To repay you would be almost unheard of.
I have no clue where to begin.
You give me a sense of security.
One where I know you will not let me stay in obscurity.

The concerned look on your face when I tell you things,
The way you get so empathetic,
It makes me feel like you really care.
You bring me up like I am walking on air.

I have no more respect for anyone else.
You will always be the top of my list.
I think about you whenever I feel like I might lose it.
I remember how you would not let there be another slit.

You do what you have to to make me speak.
You give me a reason to move one.
I wish I could tell you how you bring me to my knees.
And how you see what no one else sees.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
My disposition isn't always a proud one.
The strange world where I can't help but ponder.
I look through and over yonder.
Sometimes it all holds me from my fun.

I struggle with habits.
Some bad and some old.
Sometimes they keep me from being bold.
They keep reminding me of the problems my mid inhabits.

I know I'll get back on track soon.
I have to.
I must stand up and tie my shoe.
I have to break out of this cocoon.

These chains binding me down.
The cold weather freezing me in place.
I always stop and look deep into space.
Soon it'll be time for me to leave this town.

I can not leave if I don't get to work.
I must embrace my dreams.
I have to follow that winding stream.
I have stop act and discontinue to lurk.

My life is in my hands and that's all I know.
I need to get ready for the life ahead.
It's time to start my tread.
Very soon I will go.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
For peace and happiness.
For the world.
For all of the things I can't do.
Will it ever happen?

I want to change things.
I want people to be happy.
I want the world to be at peace.
If everyone wanted peace wouldn't we have it?

Why must people push others around?
Why do things have to happen?
Why do people become so unfortunate?
Why do I only sit and watch?

I wish I knew how to help.
Others.
Myself.
The world.

I want to do something for everyone.
Dennis Meeker Dec 2012
Sometimes I feel like I'm made of glass.
An easily shattered soul ready to break.
I still don't know how much I can take.
I wait for something to happen everyday in class.

I want to learn something.
I need to learn an important life lesson.
After winter I wait through the year as the grass goes cresson.
I think about all the time I spend on nothing.

As this goes on I'm very dull.
I become boring and zoned.
Everyone assumes I'm just calm and toned.
But really I am just feeling null.

I try to build my up my glass walls.
I try to be made of stone.
I want to sit on a nice throne.
Awaiting as it all falls.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
Whether people know it or not,
We all have thoughts of a plot.
A plot so terrible to say,
One that'd be bad to play.
It's our imaginations at best,
The creativity at crest.
The flowing of emotion,
Such a terrible notion.
My imagination is crazy,
Although sometimes it gets a little lazy.
Who wants to go off the deep end?
Well I guess it all depends.
Putting my mind at work is nice.
It makes me feel as cool as ice.
I like going at things I like.
It's like when I take a hike.
When I walk,
I tend to talk.
I talk to myself of course.
It has an incredible force.
It's as if it I talk to the perfect friend.
One who is there.
One who will always care.
I love that person.
Dennis Meeker Aug 2014
As I sit under a moon covered by clouds  
I can't think with my mind being so loud
At times I try my hardest to relax
But it is so hard knowing all of these facts

Maybe the wind can ******* away
To a place in the forest as all the trees sway
To become a part of this beautiful world
After all the times my lip has curled

The path that I choose will be that of aloneness
As I would then live a life feeling hopeless
My dreams show a life I have fought
While reality shows my life is naught
Dennis Meeker Dec 2012
I'm sending in an application.
This will be an indication.
If they accept me I will be happy.
I will go to a wonderful university.

I have wanted to go here for a while.
I will have a lot of work in a pile.
I can't wait to hear back.
I will have my life on track.

I will probably end up in a sob.
I will find a job.
I will grow up soon.
My application will be sent by noon.

I can for sure say I'm nervous.
Before I know it I'll be saying,"at your service!"
I'm scared to move on.
My new life will soon dawn.
Dennis Meeker Mar 2014
My mind will escape
I will be free
Why don't you watch me
I'll go be alone forever

I'm not here anymore
I'm in a dark place
I've escaped
I'm in a dark place

I've fallen away
I'm in madness
My mind is away
I'm in another place

We need away
I'm going away
I'm sick of here
I'm in a better place

This place *****
I need out
I feel trapped
I'm in a dark cave

It's so beautiful here
I love it
I'm in my own world now
It's time to relax

It's time to fall away...
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
I wanna fly.
I wanna be able to touch the sky.
I wish I could soar.
I want nothing more.

I wish I could go through outer space.
I could go at my own pace.
I wouldn't have to rush things.
I could wait and see what the cosmos brings.

I wish I could touch the stars.
The entire universe could be ours.
We could do what we want with ease.
Can we not ruin this please?
Dennis Meeker Mar 2019
At night when you walk in the park
Looking around at the shadows and dark
Feeling a chill run down your spine
Knowing soon all will be fine

The look in your eyes is one that can ****
One of fun and of thrill
Endless joy and excitement awaits
Bringing you into your certain fate

Looking around at shadows and dark
Walking at night only for a lark
Finding your time has come at last
It's now time to forget the past
Dennis Meeker Jul 2015
It is so easy to get angry these days
Especially when my mind is in a haze
I don't wish to be like this
I know that there is something amiss

I enjoy most aspects of my life
Although I am nearing my trife
Hardships come and hardships go
They always say you reap what you sow

I am lazy and full of shame
I really am only to blame
My actions and words are often dumb
So I may as well just **** my thumb

I have no dreams or aspirations
I only desire a long vacation
To move to a place far far away
Where I may look at the trees every day

Never to worry about money or fame
I would extinguish this screaming flame
My life now begins with me
I only wish that I could flee
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
The wind is blowing so hard.
The trees sway, standing strong.
The leaves get blown away,
as they are just minions in this large world.
The sun is still shining,
leading the way.
The sun shines,
showing the path to the great light.
The wind blows,
knocking on my window.
The wind is trying to get to me,
to talk to me.
The wind is pushing the leaves,
taking them through the light.
The wind is a part of nature,
a part of this world.
However violent this world is,
we all need a boost.
We all need a wind to carry us.
To carry us to a place we belong.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
This person,
Creature,
This, thing in me.
What is it?

This is not me.
This is not who I am.
It's not who I want to be.
Why is it in me?

Can I ever be free?

I will let go of everything soon enough.
It can happen.
Of course it can.
When will I be able to?

I will destroy this monster.
I will be new.
No, I will be me.
I will return to myself.

When can I be back again?
Dennis Meeker Apr 2019
I have something to say
I don't know if I'm okay
All I know is that I tried today
I just want to go out and play

I'm floating in a river
So cold I'm starting to shiver
Drowning down in the swell
Feels like I'm getting pulled to hell

Never know what's going on
All I know is soon it'll be gone
Yelling quietly to those around
Maybe I don't want to be found

Nobody heard me scream today
I'm not sure if I'll be okay
I don't know if I tried today
All I want is it to go away
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
I've got a lot to get ready for.
I'm going to be going off soon.
I have college next year.
The end is beginning to loom.

High school will come to an end.
I can't believe it's almost done.
People I've know since I was a child,
The ones with which I've had so much fun.

Senior year came so fast.
It doesn't seem like this is real.
A surreal picture in my mind.
But my life time likes to steal.

The real world will hit me hard.
I'm not ready for it that's for sure.
I still wish I had more years with these people.
It's going to be a lot to endure.

I remember elementary school.
The fun times on the playground.
The shenanigans we all got into.
The time to end it has come around.

*I will miss everyone I've grown up with since I was 4 years old
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
Ah, my paradise
As the Earth flies through the stars
I lay back with it.
Dennis Meeker Jan 2013
A stranger is a person.
They're fighting something on the inside.
Just like you they do good things.
Just like you they make mistakes.

A stranger walking down the street.
They could save your life someday.
They could end your life someday.
You never know what could happen.

A stranger could be dying inside.
They could need someone to confide.
A slight hint of kindness could change their life.
If you do something nice you could be friends.

What if that stranger is someone who will change you?
What if that stranger is the one you need?
You may never know.
What if you ruin their day?

A random hello or shove could change your life.
Don't take them for granted.  
Strangers may control your life.
A stranger is a person too.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
THANKS
To everyone,
Happy thanksgiving.
And I hope you all get to see loved ones.
Never take the things you appreciate for granted.
K...ites are cool...
Sorry I lost my train of thought.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
It's been a while since I've had you.
That sweet taste.
You stick with me like paste.
You freeze me in an instant.

You're cold to your core.
You go away so quickly.
I'm craving you so bad.
You're the best I've ever had.

Oh cookies n' cream ice cream, I want you right now.
Dennis Meeker Apr 2013
I feel horrible at times.
Like I'm a terrible person.
Maybe I am.
I try so hard to be who I want.  
It's been so long since I could.
I don't know who I am.
I'm lost in what the world wants me to be.
Who I am isn't who I want to be.
I hate change,
But I have to be the change.
Dennis Meeker Mar 2013
The changes in my life are crazy.
My vision is getting hazy.
I turned eighteen.
I had a realization.

I can no longer just allow myself to lounge.
I have so many plans to scrounge.
One mistake could be the end.
On my conscience my life depends.

My glass walls are fooling no one.
They can see right through them.
I've been thinking a lot.
I have been hollow and full of absolutely nothing.

Confused is an understatement.
Stressed is a great term.
Crazy my way.
I don't care about things.

Do I actually care?
I tell myself not to.
I live life without a care anymore.
I've been happier than ever.

The confusion is the worst.
It's getting hard to take.
It's so difficult to move on blindly.
My path is a choice.

I choose what I am doing now.
I choose to write for my life.
I choose to be myself.
My choice worries me.
Dennis Meeker Jul 2014
It has been raining all day
My mind is fogged by thick clouds of gray
I don't know where I am going
I have always lived without ever knowing

Soon I will be away again
I won't need to come back for my friend
I don't know how long I'll be gone
Until then I'll continue staying awake until dawn

My eyes can barely see anymore
My heart continues to sink to the floor
I want to be alone these days
That way I won't need to see that murderous gaze
Dennis Meeker Dec 2016
As I press on the fog is thicker,
I can't see as it's getting denser.
Where I will end up i don't know,
but I'm starting to feel tenser.

As the mist settles down and I can see,
I just can't help but wonder if I'm free.
That's all I've ever wanted,
But all I get is to be haunted.

I'm getting scared for what might take place,
As I'm trapped in this tiny hellish space.
I want to venture and find a new life,
So I can be set free from all this strife.

The clouds form into a storm,
Like the way everything takes a new form.
It's very ominous in this sky,
You could even say one could cry.

The thunder strikes and let's a loud roar,
But what is the strike really meant for?
The thunder is loud and makes it hard to hear,
And you'll wonder what you're doing here.

In the end after all the damage is done,
You start to think that storm has just won.
The storm has laid heavy burdens inside,
And you wonder if you may have died.

You know you need a new beginning,
But you never wanted such a terrible ending.
Why did all of this have to go on,
Maybe it was to make you be gone.

It may not ever be fair,
But what should be will never be there.
Who will make sure you're alright,
And make sure you don't take you're final flight?

You want to go and see that great Man,
But you wonder if you ever can.
But that is quite alright,
So don't worry about you're plight.

A second chance may await you very soon,
And you'll always be looking at the same moon.
As bad as it had seemed to be,
The storm really had set you free.

Say goodbye to this cruel place,
For maybe you'll beat it in the end of the race.
Don't turn around just keep going on,
Because one day it might just be gone.

Until the next time this is your last farewell,
Say goodbye as you leave this hell.

The way the stars shine bright.
They are mostly all dead stars.
The light shining after all these years.
Still shining for everyone to see.

I can not help but to wonder,
Will my light stay shining when I am gone?
Will people still talk about me for many years?
I hope they see the good that I see in the stars.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
The pain. 
The agony. 
The tenseness of your body. 
The rage. 

Everything inside is burning. 
Everything raging inside. 
Everything out of control. 
Everything inside is chaos. 

Your body is mad. 
Your body is crazy. 
Your body is weak. 
Your body is terrified. 

To cry alone. 
To lay alone. 
To pray alone. 
To die alone. 

Rage going crazy. 
Rage is on fire. 
Rage is mad. 
Rage is taking over. 

Bliss is sweet. 
Bliss is perfect. 
Bliss is rare. 
Bliss is fleeting. 

Fear is hateful. 
Fear is terrible. 
Fear is common. 
Fear is there. 

Weakness taking over. 
Weakness fighting for you. 
Weakness dying inside you. 
Weakness is you. 

Fighting inside consumes you. 
Fighting outside loathes you. 
Fighting everywhere reaps you. 
Fighting is you. 

Failure isn't an option. 
Failure is a path. 
Failure is in us all. 
Failure is imminent. 

Leadership is in us all. 
Leadership is dangerous. 
Leadership is for a good soul. 
Leadership isn't meant for all. 

Goodness is a great thing. 
Goodness is an uncommon thing. 
Goodness is hard to find.  
Goodness is easy to make. 

Brokenness is my thing. 
Brokenness makes you stronger. 
Brokenness builds you up. 
Brokenness defines us all. 

Happiness is so amazing. 
Happiness makes us better. 
Happiness makes us wake up. 
Happiness is all we need. 

Love is a wondrous being. 
Love is only a rarity. 
Love will fill your soul with goodness. 
Love can make the worst the best. 

For us all we shall be happy. 
We will all be respectful. 
We will all be happy. 
We will all fail. 

The key is to accept some defeats. 
The key is to be all you can be. 
The key is to disperse from bad. 
The key is to embrace the greatness.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
There once was a kid named Me
Who ran off with my conscience and the key.
The key to my soul,
Without mercy he stole,
Now I'm stuck and cannot break free.
Dennis Meeker Nov 2012
We were there for each other,
That's how we made our way. 
That long summer, 
That ended in dismay. 

It's not fair what had happened,
I didn't even know. 
It's like you disappeared. 
I didn't know where to go. 

Months later I found you,
I found you once more. 
I found my friend,
The one that I adore. 

You left again,
I wasn't as scared. 
I knew that I wasn't alone. 
I knew you cared. 

No one was there for me,
Not like you. 
You were the greatest, 
And I was there for you too. 

Yet again you left, 
But this time I knew. 
You taught me so much. 
I knew what I had to do. 

I still adore everything about you. 
I always will. 
You're such a talent, 
It leaves my mind in a thrill. 

You occasionally come back now. 
Not as much as I want, but why complain?
I have nowhere to go.
I have nothing more to gain. 

I still struggle with some things. 
I'd like you're help sometimes. 
You always knew what to say. 
Now all I can do is make up rhymes.
Dennis Meeker Dec 2012
You used to accept anyone as your own.
You seemed so nice.
You're funny, caring, friendly.
You also turned so conceited.

And you have been around so long.
Making a name for yourself.
Coming and going in this place.
You got taken down by other forces.

And lastly, you were different than them.
So sweet.
The sweetest and strongest person ever.
Always there,

For a while...

Together it was a battle.
A battle of friendship.
A battle of those who do not trust each other.
A battle to be won by no one.

The aimless direction they walk.
For what reason they keep moving on I do not know.
They did it to themselves.
The ones who were on a road to nowhere.

You are lost in yourself.
And you let the forces of nature take you down.
And then there's you,
You who had forgotten and given up on promises.

The end of the walk already came.
They kept on going.
They went below the bottom.
They never even looked around.

They walked straight into the dark.
They walked without even noticing.
In a weird trance they just kept walking.
Right by me as I came out of the dark.
