Hero to Villain how

I borrowed a pin
from a friend
heroic fall

but seriously how
you stood for something

you stand still long enough
you can watch the land change
I changed teams without moving
I guess that was still a choice.
mikecccc Sep 2015
I don't care
With genuine feeling
What happens means nothing
They won't **** for apathy
They just won't help
They won't hunt you
In dark alleys
But they will
Turn a blind eye
When your brought down
They don't burn or simmer
Or even stew
They simply do not care
But they will when they
Become the hunted.

A master photograph
shot by a master photographer
hangs on the wall
A thousand mundane words
turned into one haunting frame
though it does appear
to be a tad askew
I think it helps.
mikecccc Mar 2020
the world is burning
what else is new
oh ****
is this
what Billy Joel meant
cause I don't play with matches
A childish thing
to play
with dangerous things
is it kids these days
I should blame
for the state of things.
mikecccc Jun 2016
Will you sing for me
if I **** a goat for you
will you heal me
for two or three
or will you just
stand there a statue
regardless of how much blood
pools at your divine feet.
mikecccc Nov 2015
The cup runeth over
With self loathing
With regret
With hate
And dear creature
I fear there is no room
For even a drop
Of anything else.
mikecccc Apr 2016
Throwing rocks
and damnations  
at the crowd
all because of anger
it's a big crowd
full of all sorts
most were just
swept into the auditorium
but eh dam them to.
mikecccc Feb 2016
I want to read
the secrets you hide
deep in your soul
but your eyes are clear
and your fingers
are very still
so i'll be blunt
you can lie
you could say nothing
though I won't rest
I just want
I just need to know
Are you happy?
mikecccc May 2016
I can't tell
what that gleam
in your eye means
is it madness
or all a joke
I have asked
and your answer
was less than inspiring
times like this
I wonder why I stay
probably curiosity.
mikecccc Oct 2015
pontificating
on what was
I see what you
should have done
it might help
in the future
or I might
just love
my voice too much.
mikecccc Mar 2016
Except when it doesn't
when you draw life
as it should be
not as it is
and we try
to make it reality.
mikecccc Apr 2016
A Scarlet Letter
or something
less obvious
A mark against you
that you know
they will notice
and they will
condemn you.
Probably
mikecccc Mar 2016
Love tis like a brick
You aught not
Bludgeon someone
With it
But instead
Use it to build.
Brick poems yeah
mikecccc Oct 2015
I was told
I should pray
They say it helps
I don't agree
They say the room
That appears empty
Is full of God
Or some such
And I need only speak
But I'm pretty sure
The only one who hears
My prayer is me
And I'm an awful audience.
mikecccc Apr 2016
Mania trapped
in a stuffed animal
and madness leaks out
seems an odd place
to find such things
but it's more common
than you might think.
mikecccc Oct 2015
A cauldron full of hate
seasoned with vinegar
and a drop of scorn
maybe a slice of egotism
boil for a year or so
in solitude and bile
and you'll have
the perfect troll
A golem
of ill will.
mikecccc Sep 2016
I wrote you a letter
but it wouldn't say
what I wanted
So I stabbed it repeatedly
and threw it away.
Ink stains are hard to remove
mikecccc Dec 2015
Floating through
The inky nothingness
So lonely
searching
For a place to call home
I hate to be cruel
But I must ask
That you stay away
From me and
my abode
For you see
I'd rather not get crushed.
mikecccc Nov 2015
I was a different creature
When I came here last
The walls are a different shade
And is it just me
Or is the building smaller
Your still here
Just as you were
Do I look
The same to you.
mikecccc Nov 2015
That's what this is right
If I start to stagger
You'll prop me up
When the world
Is after me
You'll be by my side
My best friend
And confidant
This sounds so romantic
Unless your talking
To a mirror
mikecccc Oct 2015
You see
The weight of the world
Was precariously perched
On Atlas's shoulders
If he were to shrug
The world would fall
Which while leaving Atlas
A great deal lighter
Would also depress him
To no end.
mikecccc Dec 2015
A tiring walk
that gets
kinda awkward
super quickly
going down
memory lane
makes me long
for blackout
boulevard.
mikecccc Nov 2016
A lot of people have died
for the sin
of not watching
where they're going.
mikecccc Mar 2016
shiny pearls
and
oddly shaped rocks
whatever the reason
I find my eyes caught
attempting to decipher
what you have to say
but sometimes
I get it right away
yet still feel compelled
to ponder more.
mikecccc Mar 2016
give the people
what they want
what do they want
truth justice pancakes
peace power
a fair deal
depends on who
and when you ask.
mikecccc Dec 2015
I take issue
With those
Who tell me
What to do
Which no one knows
Since I'm too polite
To mention it
I Just keep it
To myself
And one
Poetry site.
Or two
mikecccc Feb 2016
To die
and leave behind
only enemies
seems a sad
sort of fate
all those years
all that experience
and
you never learned
how to make peace.
mikecccc Nov 2015
The knight runs
To escape the nightmare
They found above
They go ever downward
Through steel hallways
And wood doors
And find much
But never escape.
mikecccc Aug 2016
A lot of unsaid things
we should probably talk
but you know
it's an
uncomfortable subject
and who
but a *******
would choose
discomfort.
another awkward subject
lot of those
mikecccc Dec 2015
they stand so tall
far above me
and honestly
they're only
comparatively tall
I'm tempted
to take an axe to them
bring them down
to my level
but that would be wrong
might be fun
but wrong
so the wise thing
perhaps even
the right thing
is probably just
stay where I am
unless
could I be a giant
could I be
A giant among giants
probably not.
mikecccc Dec 2015
you know
snakes get
a lot of hate
rather unfairly
I dare say
they're just animals
they aren't sin incarnate
and they aren't really satanic
hell Garter snakes
are pretty cute
and the golden lancehead pit viper
has flesh melting venom
which is awesome
or horrifying
or awesomely horrifying
depending on who you ask
Bat
mikecccc Sep 2015
Bat
Hiding in the dark
You can fly so high
But only when
No one is looking.
mikecccc May 2016
sandy shore
A spot to stand
peer out to sea
what lies beyond
I bet Siri knows.
mikecccc Dec 2015
Why do I do
The things that
I do
Because
Just because

Perhaps dear doc
That isn't the truth
Or maybe it is
I fear I can't
Honestly tell you.
mikecccc Mar 2016
Inhale the joy
that's all around
and just be happy
it's like flipin a switch
one second you're blue
the next you're
A small sun
or so it's claimed
personally I tried
and got a headache.
mikecccc May 2021
An Egg
of hope
the last one
for the lucky few
all is lost
most is lost
the last bit is given
an apostle is made.
worth it
some people think so
mikecccc Sep 2016
Great orator
how can you be
so afraid of people
and still so convincing.
By having a good poker face.
mikecccc Apr 2016
Observing
the fast food crowd
A Harried mother
with crazed kids
A geeky dad
with one shy child
A youngish man
with a face full of ink
A young woman
just here for water
and an old couple
they seem happy
the list could go on
A full crowd with little
to nothing to do with each other
I'd like to read their minds.
mikecccc Oct 2015
blood bile
and denial
all a part
of the human experience
same today as
a thousand years ago
we strive for meaning
something deeper
than what we see
and if we don't find
something
than obviously
it was taken
or forsaken.
mikecccc Dec 2015
If you're quiet
people tend to forget
that you're around
which is cool
if you like
to hear gossip
otherwise it's
kinda depressing
and often
annoying.
mikecccc Jun 2015
God loves you
always remember
through war
through famine
through genocide
it's all apart of the plan
and when your all done
you can sit on a cloud
and bask in his awesomeness
or possibly if you waver
burn in flame
but stay positive
your wrathfully loving god
has his eye on you.
mikecccc May 2021
What would it take
to **** A dragon
probably
A **** load of iron
the world may never know
RIP kentaro miura
mikecccc Aug 2015
Ah rage
my dear friend
when things are grim
I turn to you
you fill me to the brim
the world turns red
and when you leave
my problems are solved
albeit temporarily.
mikecccc Mar 2017
like a vampire
in reverse
sans the blood
stakes and
presumably
fear of religious artifacts

you mean normal people

yeah those weirdie's
beware them
they're really loud
dam neighbors
mikecccc Nov 2015
Another year older
Hopefully a little wiser
A little less time
I hope it was spent well
So happy birthday
One more down
Who knows
How many left to go
Have a present.
mikecccc Nov 2016
Death by stampede
all for half priced electronics
should just shop online.
mikecccc Jul 2016
Under the ice
The old gold ruins lie
Haunted by the twisted
So much to loot
For an enterprising traveler.
Also skyrim
mikecccc Jan 2017
I threw a dart
at a board of names
my barber is apparently
the cause of all my pain
was worried it was me
but the dart wouldn't lie
probably.
mikecccc Nov 2015
windows to the soul
is one name
for those orbs
in your skull
but I see nothing
are you empty inside
am I blind
or is that phrase
poetic bull.
mikecccc Nov 2016
Dancing
In the meadow
During a snow storm
Sneezing and freezing
come what may
enjoy the day.
