Not telling those you love
THE TRUTH
is like

STRIKING THEM BLIND

Think about it.

Fact is,
hear this true
it's not me
it's *you
When they ask how you are

lie

Lie

and

LIE

Some more
It's sad how I think this way of dealing with life is encouraged. People don't really open up to each other and I think it's cause they don't believe others will listen or help but I hope we will all keep the faith and tell people how we really feel if we need to
She did not find the grim
in falling apart. For
every time she found herself
to be broken, she knew
she was brutally remaking
herself, and collapsing
to be reborn like a
rioting star; haunting the
dark sky.

Aren't you getting tired
of your bitter ways?
Tired of complaining about
everything,
and never looking
the other way?

Isn't it getting old
to find yourself with no friends?
To look at your life
and think,
"What's wrong with them!?"

Is it the least bit alarming...
you love nothing you see?

The truth can be disarming,
but please consider
it from me.

There is no sense
in harming
yourself,
this isn't
how you
have
to be.

If you want love
you have to give it,
you have to
*set
yourself
free.
it's far easier to love
much harder to hate.
Don’t tell me I am crazy
Cause I know war is wrong
And the American war machine
Is to **** strong

Don’t tell me I am crazy
Cause capitalism doesn’t work
The free market isn’t free
Cause any system that celebrates greed
Will eat itself alive and take
The poor and imagined middle class with it

Don’t tell me I am crazy
Cause I know religion harms us all
Phony leaders and cloud kingdoms
Keep us from seeking the truth
Keep us from speaking the truth
Ties up our youth
Binding them in the chains of ignorance
Not the liberation
Of curiosity and information

Don’t tell me I am crazy
When the crazy one is you
Most of the world is crazy like that to
But hold on to your hat
Cause I am bringing you the truth

I’m not crazy and you don’t have to be
I’m not a prisoner and the prison confining you
That chains that keep binding you
Are easily removed in the pursuit of truth
Burns like my tears,
hurts like my thoughts,
dies like your honesty.
a woman
appreciates a man
that can penetrate
her mind
deeper than her body.
I feel forgotten
Like a second choice
The follower
Wishing I could be others
Those with new clothes
The nice shoes
Feeling abandoned
Trusting no one
Because no one understands
Just me
Dealing with my life
Alone.
I wrotethis poem reflecting on my deep true feelings respect the fact that I was brave and open enough to do this.
