I say I'm a man
They say I'm underage
Does that make me a boy?
What is it that make them men?
So often I see greatness in expression
They say its real but I say its talk without action
I've learned to learn these things harder then others
My life is filled with compassion for others
I only fear that the reaction of others
Will smother me and the things that I mother
All the things these people have love for
Not loving there own mothers or fathers
So many fathers without children rather
Most of these children are without fathers
These men don't take care of they're flesh
Only using the 24 hours God gave them for themselves
So let my childhood pass me so I can show these men
That I've found in the few real men around me
They think of only my age and not of my brain
Trying to relate their lives to that of my own
Making my life out of experiences they've experienced
This is the mistake they've made not knowing
The things I know so many mistakes
Tho, I've learned from the ones I've made
These men aren't men through actions
That's the fact that I know

Unique
Different from the rest
They're more than slightly upset
That my thoughts can't
Be viewed on their television set
You have your doubts
So go, put my words to the test
My knowledge, Truth
Thicker than any bullet proof vest
Stuck in the present
But I've already moved to the next
I find that they are
Vexed by complex ideas of life
It stresses us all
Tho, with the right plan we stand
We never fall
Not failing to achieve our aspirations
So aspire
Look forward to things that won't pass
Gun's and Butter
Butter melts away, but Guns Last

Life grabs hold of me,
Hoping to control me,
To keep me down,
Keep me on the ground.
Gravity is my enemy
Tho, this love is my friend.

This struggle, this grind
This pull on my mind,
Stress and Tension find me
Can I avoid them this time?

I push with my actions,
Taking action in my life
Striving to evade
Those who pursue me
Working to lift this weight
This weight that is life
The pressures of life

I can feel your thoughts,
You can read mines
Intimately, caressing
Each others mines,

We lose ourselves,
Lost in past emotions,
Old flames that flickered
Until they diminished,
Listening to whispers
That promised forever
Screaming and shouting
"We couldn't last forever!"

Yes our words say it all
Most don't comprehend
Tho, you understand it all
These lines numb our pain
Not ******* or novacane
The things we could never say.
Lust, love, heartbreak, and pain

Present to me your words
So I can know if your
What I'm looking for
Try to decipher
The code that lies
Beneath my words.
My heart is hidden
Deep within the verbs.

Feel Winters pain
Cold Winter nights
Bone chilling breeze
Heartaches Hard times

Turn off the lights
Trip into your mind
Think about the thoughts
You thought you left behind

Summer colors fade
Spring flowers never bloom
Seasons you await seem to meet their doom

So Fall into Winter
Your numb once again
The ice on your cheeks
The snow left on your hands.

The trees are naked. The flowers are gone
You cannot forget what things once was
You can't forget your Summer love

Distance
The space that is holding us back.
The thing keeping my hand from caressing your back.
These roadways, highways, and freeways
Blocking my way to you
I need to make my way to you.

Distance
This is the problem
Love I believe it to be the answer.
Tho, the solution to the problem
Raises a question
That needs to be answered.
How far does love go?

Distance
What is love in distance?
Would I measure it in miles or inches?
How much love does it take to get to you?
Does love matter if the distance is to great to get to you?

Distance
I don't like this distance
Tho, I'll travel the farthest distance.
Just to give you a give a kiss
Can you feel the love don't resist it.

Distance
Love knows no distance
If I were on Venus
You were on Saturn
We'd meet on Mars
The distance wouldn't matter

Distance
It takes time to travel
Tho, I think we could go the distance.
When I said I love you I meant it.
I know you felt the love
Just try not to feel the distance.

I strive to be that nice guy she needs.
Waiting for her to spend those summer days
And all those cold winter nights with me.
Hoping that the guys that drive her crazy
Drive her right to me
Man she's right for me  
Hopefully my wife to be
If only I knew the time, place, or the date
That she planned on giving her life to me.
