Although denied the truth he'd sought so long,
the soldier gave his gun and sang his song:
"Despondency is not my trade, nor should
it steal my breath away; all that I could,
I'd show 'em all my strength, oh yes I would!

"Now take this gun, prepare yourself to fight.
Now take this blade, to shine against the night.
Now grit your teeth, good sir, now fix your sight --
the trench may be the death of me, but **!
Eyes on the horizon, now, stand and go!"
In absence of volume
hearing becomes easy
listen to nothing
and it will speak
through silence
through walls
through guarded hearts
through defenses
through heartache
louder than it ever was

Should I stay or should I go?
Test my wings or stay at home?

                                
                                            Explore the world I've always dreamed of'
                                             But lose myself in the midst of dreamers?


Opportunities, flying, here and there..
but I'd give them up for you, I swear..
Oh, you and I..
We're always been quite a match,
for you are the bow and I am the arrow you're holding back
ahhhh, weirdd shape poem *** I tried to make it look like an arrow haha..
but no this poem is so relevant, I'm not sure about what sixth form/college I should apply to..

The world is in such a state
of disarray.
People hate each other,
**** for sport,
and burn words of anger and envy into the hearts of their neighbors.
Countries drop bombs,
**** women,
**** children.
Why? We all ask.
It does not start at this scale.
It starts in the hearts
and minds of each one of us.
It starts in our households,
our neighborhoods, and
our communities.
A collaboration of the vibration
from each one of these communities
shows its ugliness and we
all ask why?
We must, as a humanity,
purify our own minds
and our own hearts.
Love your neighbor.
Love your enemy.
Not for what they have done to you,
but for what has been done to them.
The only reason someone hates
is because they have felt
the stinging pain of someone else's hatred.
The only reason they do not love
is because they have not felt
the natural warmth and transcendent power
of love.
So,
love your neighbor,
love your enemy,
and slowly our hearts,
then our communities,
then our countries, and
eventually the world will begin to change.
Each thought and vibration of energy
is like a stone caste into a lake.
The ripple starts small,
but can cause waves on the other shore.
So throw beautiful stones
and leave the ugly ones to rest.

hello
if i'm around to watch
our sun die
and our moon be eaten
take our old photos
scatter them across Saturn's rings
so i can fly down
from my theater in heaven
and remember

our june sun is setting
although i'm starting to think
it had never risen

perhaps our eyes were tricked
and we were only making hopeless wishes
on the moon

Give me adoration
For it is all that I want,
It is all that I need.

What's this?
A letter?
In the form of words written among the page,
You ask me to be yours.

Yours
Whoever thought that a five lettered word
Could be cherished so much,
So desired,
So needed?

I am yours,
You are mine
And all we need now is some Radiohead
And a glass of wine.

Let it out
You have every reason to
For all those times I left you in despair
Now's your opportunity,
Give me what I deserve.

Maybe it's true what they say
That only time can heal our wounds
But time is everlasting,
Does this mean we will never heal?
Troubled thoughts keep passing.

Change
I'm different now, can't you tell?
I spent time
Improving myself, making myself better
So that you and I
Could be together.

Difference
I am not who I used to be
You tell me, things can't be how they were,
A long time ago.

All of this time,
Spent correcting, improving and changing
Turned into such a waste
You don't care for me
You just want to make me feel happy

But tell me,
Does raising my hopes,
Hopes I didn't even know i had,
Make you believe you are giving me
What I deserve?

Not this time.
Time may be ever lasting
But we are against the clocks right now
We never happened.
Nope, never did.
