Dieing is easy living is hard
Lifes little lessons can leave you scarred
Why fit in if your born to stand out
Never be quiet if your full of doubt
Looks can be deceiving and friends can be fake
I've learned my lesson dont make my mistake
So if time teaches us life and life teaches time
That's a lesson we all know but some take it light
So love the life you live and live the life you love
Have no regrets when push come to shove
The time running and running right out
I just smiled and looked forward without any doubt
So love hard and live free that what life was meant to be

Can you help me forget?
All the times that I've wept
Over someone who only ever caused me pain
While I wanted his heart
To want mine.
I think about him all the time.

I want someone to hold
Keep my heart from turning cold
Cause its hard when someones hurt your soul

I want someone to hold
And help me forget the lies.
Cause no matter how hard I try
I see his eyes
In my dreams

And I forget.

I forget the fear he made me feel
It feels surreal
He pushed and he swore
I've never felt so scared before.

Scared- of the one I supposedly love?
The one my heart belongs to
This can't be true
I just need to feel something new
Something safe.
Something that won't keep me trapped in a cage
In a cage full of anger and rage
Full of hate.
I am in a state
I never thought I would be in before
I feel pain to the core

I don't want to feel anymore.

So

Can you help me forget?
The times that I've wept
Over the one who keeps my helpless heart on a chain

but

one day

That chain he will hold no longer
For I am growing stronger
Growing bolder
I will not let this soul of gold
Turn cold
For I am strong

but

I need help.

So help me forget
The times that I've wept
And kept these tears and fears deep inside
I don't want to hide
Any longer.
For I am

Stronger.

When a child is born,
A father learns how to cry,
Tears aren't always sad.
why does he
even bother
leaving in
this place,
   his poetry?

minimal to
  non existent
is the
   appreciation
from the
  hes and
the shes.

artistically
   arranged words
do not stir
  the souls of
these folks
      indeed.

but alas,
   i will
continue to
leave you all
    my heart's
     key...

    leave you all
my scars
   and wounds
       that have
never healed.

i have never
   been one to
keep my
     feelings nor
  my heart
concealed.

ignoring my
  gift that i
    share with
you all
        for free...

i won't lie,
    it hurts
sometimes like
      i have been
stung by
  42 bees.

rather....
    41 because
one friend
  reads and
     appreciates
  my
free poetry,
         religiously.

and we all
    know...

who is she.

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!
Traveler Tim
.


Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again
