Looking up
at the sky.
Listening to seagulls
flying by.

Feel the sand
beneath your feet.
Let yourself relax
Fall into sleep.

Smell the ocean
Beautiful and infinite.
Wishful dreams
of swimming in it

Taste the rays
of a sun gone by
as you lie there
no longer alive.

You doubted me
you laughed at me
claimed that I never could be

A man of worth
A man of values
someone who would amount to anything

But I'll prove you wrong
I will get along
I will be a man worthy of song

Creepy and weird
that's all I ever hear
I smile at you through the insults
acknowledging you as a human being

For you could never understand the depths of my being
The love and affection for the world
My niceties being taken as hostilities
Being taken as perversions of what they really are

So I smile and laugh, day by day
never letting my true self
see the light of day

for no one could understand
what it means to me
to be a man

Wandering the streets,
the road which none meets
the moon my light
my feet guiding me through the night
The stars are my guide
as i am along for the ride
the ride that is life
pushing through the madness
coming out, achieving happiness
As you near the end
you'll know that just around the bend
where your anger dissipates
you will be free to assimilate
the happiness around you
that the stars have guided you to
Please comment and enjoy. :)

He crawls, he falls, then crawls again
Only with purpose can he truly begin.

He struggles to kneel, struggle to feel
The beauty of life, but under life's heel.

He struggles to stand, foot and knee planted on land
He strains against the weight, he begins to understand.

He pushes against life's heel, pushing and pushing, daring to feel
He rises to his feet, overcoming life's hollow heel.

He opens his eyes, taking in the deep blue sky
He straightens his body, not yet trusting his eyes
He takes a deep breath, and lets out a sigh.

His eyes did not lie, he laughed and he cried
For he was finally free, and his heart swelled with pride.

He set out that night, guided by a full moons light
For nothing could stop him, he found his purpose in life.
Please comment :) I will keep writing as I keep thinking of them.

Ive stuck by your side for over a year
Helping you through the places of your fears

I cared for you and took you under my wing
hoping beyond hope that you find the will to sing

Finally the time has come
you opened your wings, the song has begun

you fill the air with your beautiful voice
everyone around listens with rejoice

but now its time for you to leave the nest
Ill always love you, but its for the best.

I hope one day you'll have realized my part
In the act of saving you're heart.

As your life goes on, and i fade from your memory
you'll look back one day and wonder who it was
that saved you from misery.
I apologize for not writing anything in a while. This new poem is something that hits real close to me. comments would be appreciated. If you want a back story just message me.

Squank where did you go

I'm right here jesskimo

Where did we go

No one shall ever know

We run down the street with our hands up high

We don't care we just want to fly

Don"t think about it for too long

All we want is to get along

She is a mystery
Someone with a shrouded history

Someone who I've never really known
But someone I know i can call my own

She is a beacon of light
When I am alone at night

Someone I can talk to
When I have nowhere else to go

She is someone who doesn't criticize
But someone who has kindness in her eyes

When she talks happiness swells
Deep inside my hollow shell

She is the one who never sinks low
She is the one I've never known
