Roses are red
violets are blue
it's so hard to admit
that I love you

Strawberries are red
blueberries are blue
I wasn't told
that you love me too

What I See

I've been known to
write stories
Instead of moving
Like my bending wrist
Knows just what she's
doing
Reality is there
Smothered under a blanket
Of scribbles and drawings
Some hopeful dreams
I think I made this
More than it was
Meant to be

(Writing
about writing
is so cliche)

But I cling to my words
Like I'm dangling
High up off the ground
Holding tight to the edge of
Serif-fonted letters

I always thought you knew me better.

And I've always tried to see the light
but in doing so
I never saw the darkness
For what it was

Gave it my all another part of me died
Block it out but it starts to leak through
The ones you dislike cross your path
The ppl you around are never there
When you do good no one notices
You make mistakes everyone points out the flaw
The lazy get handed what the hard working deserve more
Where shall I lay my head
The night the lights go out
And who will hold my hand
When I am filled with doubt
And who will dry my tears
So gently, while I weep
And who shall keep me warm at night
Protect me while I sleep
If in this darkness, I am lost
Please stay with me till dawn
For even if the lights go out
I'm never truly gone

Like all days, I wonder.
I wonder what you're thinking.
If you're thinking of me.
If that's a stupid thing to think.

Like all days, I wonder.
I wonder if I stop you.
Stop you from whatever you're doing.
Because the thought of me gave you butterflies.

Like all days, I wonder.
I wonder if I frustrate you.
If you're frustrated that I haven't kept in touch lately.
Maybe we're both too stubborn to start the conversation.

Like all days, I wonder.
I wonder if I make you smile.
From a memory you don't want to forget.
There are so many of those that you could recall.

Like all days, I wonder.
I wonder if I haunt you.
Just as much as you've been haunting me.
We're both ghosts haunting what we hope is still there.

Like all days, you wonder.
You wonder if I wonder about you, too.
If I'm just as flustered with these thoughts as you are.
Maybe we've been sharing these feelings all along.

Like all days, we wonder.

I am a beast,
rugged and grey.
Without mercy,
I hunt my prey.
Hunger I never still,
no matter how much
I ****.
With yellow eyes
I see in the night.
To hunt and ****
all in my sight.
My fangs rip throats
of sheep, cows and
goats.
I run, tear, rip and eat.
Even man to me is only
meat.
When my howl is heard
do not come near,
if to you, your life is dear.

Guys like me are overlooked
I do my best for change
Break the mold so I'm not forgotten and left out
Not sure what to say or do
I'm honest and truthful and get no respect
Give it my all to receive disrespect
Better then those talking
Alway seen as a threat without trying
