The Judge
Why
Why do you stay,
when all I bring you is pain.
What is left for you here?
What do you have to gain?

I have taken everything from you,
all your hopes and dreams.
I have taken most from you,
including that smile that gleams.

I don't understand why you stay.
You refuse to leave my side.
I will ruin you eventually.
And deep down I've already died.

So why do you insist?
Why do you wish to stay.
You know what will happen.
The end is all you delay.

I see now.
I know why you won't leave.
It's because deep down inside you.
You still believe.

You think I'm able to be saved.
You think you know me like a glove.
I want what you want too.
I want to know I'm loved.

But nothing I know can be stopped.
I am on the edge of insanity.
I will end my pain.
I will save your vanity.

It isn't you

8:31PM

It's someone else.
Interesting
       how
       we understand
   the
same thing
                 differently
    But still
                Get it right.

We are none truly alone,
I've written of this before
I shall write of our souls
And the invisible chains, once more

We are all connected,
By these universal chains
From the beggar on the corner,
To the broker squandering gains

We are seven billion shades,
Different shades of the same hue
From me here in my mountains,
Across the earth to you

Whether you're a dancer,
Stepping to a tune
Or a night fisherman,
Gathering food, under the moon

These universal chains,
They bind us each together
That's what the universe wanted,
And so it is forever

Each time you defame,
Your fellow human across the way
You're defaming part of yourself,
So be careful what you say

This is how its been since the beginning
This is how it is until the end
Be kind to each other,
Remember we're all akin
Oh wow! Thank you my fellow poets. Thank you for reading and liking my words.<3

Some want to be remembered
for their touchdown record.
Some want to be remembered
for their body count.
Some want to be remembered
for their brilliance.
But I want to be remembered
for my kindness.
I will admit, I look back and remember the boy who always scored the touchdowns that always made our student section roar and fill with happiness.
I will admit, I look back and remember the girls who told funny, yet repulsive stories about their adventures of sleeping with random guys.
I will admit, I look back and remember the brainiacs and how they could make something as minuscule as a piece of gum a deep conversation starter.
But I will also admit, that looking back they have no significance to me.
Looking back, I remember the people who were kind above all else, I think of those people more frequently and hope they are doing well.
I remember those people and admire them for staying positive in a world so hopeless and full of hate and negativity.
I remember those people and feel a little less alone and know that they would be there if I called.
I wonder if those people are out in the world right now, spreading even more positivity and making others feel a little less insignificant.
I aspire to be remembered by kindness.
