If Youre Happy
If you're happy
I'm happy
I can't ask for any more
I tend to be the most frugal person in the room
But that's just who I am
I just want you to be happy cause of me
Girl, I know you have been trying to fend off the gargoyles inside your soul
But I'm here to help
Be happy for me
I want to see that smile
It cures my anger and sadness
And it lightens up the most brimming room.

Captain Of My Own Ship
It's hard being perfect in a world where it's physically impossible when everybody being flawed
Don't expect me to be your Jack's Mannequin
I have my flaws and i'm proud to be human
I wouldn't want to be someone who never has a defect at all
I want to come off as human and real for others
My ship usually sinks daily
But i'm the Captain so i got this
Or it will be a mental Lusitania
Causing me to prepare for war
Towards my conflicting thoughts
I won't wait like President Wilson
Action will be called upon
But i won't waste a second
I'm keeping this ship above water
My passengers will be safe
It's all on my shoulders
Keep your cannons holstered
We don't want this to really happen
Send your youth back home
They didn't want this.
I sure in hell didn't either.

Provider
Switch over to a new provider
They all turn you off  in the same way anyways
Can't you cut the poor and disadvantaged some slack?
Money doesn't grow on trees you know!
Just a thought.
Suicide isn't something to take lightly
Cultivates my train of thought daily and nightly
More than most people can understand
I'm a little too much i suppose
But i'd rather be too much but not enough
I have a big heart and i think it's getting bigger
It might conquer my entire body
If so, so be it.
I want to emulate the past heroes who have saved lives
They're my spirit animals
Who happen to be people
Breathing flesh now receded into paradise.
Don't quicken the process of fleeting away by making a rash decision for one bad day or event that pushed you  little harder than you expected.
There's so much to build upon
Make sure you're the one still building upon it.

Reading Wills
The soldiers who fight for our country
Have a harder job than we ever will
They're getting tired of reading the other wills
Most people would run for the hills
When a bullet gets close to them
But this is another day in the office for them
Merely a realistic training session
But there are no takebacks or redos.
It's all real.
This court can't appeal
Just sit in silence
Silence is harmonic and hellish simatenously
Too hard to explain
The Military is tough work. Hardest job there is. Harder than anything I will ever do.

Heart Throb
If i could be a heartthrob or a heart-breaker
I'd be a heartthrob.
A pretty simple choice
Because i hate breaking a girl's heart
I actually care unlike certain men
But i'm not the only one of my kind
We're amass
You just have to look for us.
Going the extra mile
To pursue us.

Owe It To Yourself
You're giving up
I won't let you
I'm relentless in my conversational skills
You won't no matter what
You can keep pushing me away
But i will not give up on you, because you owe it to yourself to achieve better.
I'd rather keep running this imaginary marathon going
Because the pulse just keeps getting stronger
And i don't get this feeling often
So i'd rather keep up with you until the moments notice
Forget about the tropes that keep us on the rope
I gave the Television all the soap it wanted
Now it's running it's operas
And i'm running the marathon
For something
For something i'm unsure of
For someone?
Whatever it is, it's better than Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
TV rots your brain
I favor going against the grain
No offense guys
But keeping up in Marathons is much healthier
The water companies will thank you
Why should they not?
Thanks for not letting me rot
Whatever it is
Whoever you are
I'd keep up with you.
Weirdest poem I've ever written. Good.

Holler Days
Happy Holidays

and happy make her holler days

Spreading the holiday cheer

By being naughty this year

That's what Santa feared the most.
Lol i had to. Too funny.
Giving thanks
Was the common practice
This time of year
But all she felt was the coming of tears
It's only been a couple Of years
But it's felt much longer.

Every second seems like a century without you..
And these colorful walls seems like a perfect cage for my daydreams.. There you are setting us the Christmas tree..

Her distraught fears has left me more hollow than ghostly possible
Do Spirits ever get this low?
I just want her to know
That i'm still here, living breathing
But i can never say a word
Or else the rest of the Ghosts would take me away.. To a far distant place.
Most people are with their families and i'm with the dead
Just try to get that inside your head
Heart heavy with love but seeping with dread
I just wished we were able to be wed
Before i took my last breath Of human air.
I know how much you deeply care, But this life wasn't meant to be lukewarm or fair..
It was meant to test my strengths And watch me fall apart because i care
Or maybe it's something else..
I just wish i was there for you During the jolly times
Every tear you cry
I cry.

Cry..
Only silent cries are left.
You are not here next to me..
It's killing me..
I'm dead.
So I decided to leave this cage..
And like all those time before I decided to take a Walk on the pavements,
It's raining and I'm heading toward the storm.
purposely, I have left my umbrella at your place.
Because someone told me it's easy to hide those tears in rain.
So won't you hold me now, Like all those time before?
Who do you think you are leaving all those scars on my soul?
Won't you even see me, won't you even call my name?
Stop playing all the crazy games.
Leaving myself at your stone I always wish I could lay deep in there with you in that wooden box.
A collaboration poem i wrote with a very talented poet. Look her up on poetfreak if you can.

So Precious (Holiday Anthem)
You want to be with someone so precious
You'd  have them under your Christmas tree, wrapped in present wrap
Or as a guest to the notorious Thanksgiving table.

Bring them home.

Same Cone
American girls
Japanese girls
Brazilian girls
Maltese girls
Russian girls
Swedish girls
German girls

What's not to like? Races are like ice cream flavors, we all got different shades but we're on the same cone.
All of us have Sins we must atone
For our ancestors and are earlier lives
I just want to spread peace and pretend like our countries didn't fight wars in the past
Don't get me wrong, i won't forget history
But i don't plan on repeating it

Unity is like cotton candy, and i'm going to eat all of it. Everyone deserves that soft feeling inside their bones.
All races are equal. Period.

Most kids
Are afraid
To tell

They're gay
But if they
Decided to
Come out
I'd say

"Why in the ******* did you tell me sooner?"
A little experimental poem i did basically summing up my response lol.

Opposites Abound
I thought about a wave crashing up instead of down
A tank-top wedding
A beach filled with more sand than water
A star that looked like an octagon
And a lollipop shaped like a square
Can there be a universe like that somewhere?

Stone Cold Boredom
Stone cold boredom
Is a cocoon that you desperately want to be set free from.

Stone cold boredom
Gets in the way too much.

Stone cold boredom
Finds way too many ways to include itself

Stone cold boredom
Gets rougher and rougher by the minute

How do we expect to get rid of it?

The Pace
The pace was too fast
So i just slowed it down
Giving you a chance to breath
We're not hedgehogs with red shoes
We're human beings
Take it down a notch for a day or two
Inconsistent pace isn't always bad
Give it time to rest.
I'm a stepping stone that was stepped a few hundred too many times
You have to forgot about implementing Jewels on me
I want to be a pedestal
Something that's seen as higher
Because i'm more than your lyre of heavy weight objects
We're all worth more than what we think
But every now and then i don't think
And that's my my biggest vice
If Miami was even paying attention.

A Fish In Your Ocean
Seventy percent of the world is covered in  large oceans
Enough to create millions of bottles of potions
To heal  the sick and amend the unstable
I'd gladly sit in the same table
As you
I'd gladly be a fish
In your ocean

Try me
I'm a little rough around the edges
But if you're thinking about it, you might as well.
Don't really know how this one came out.

I Wonder?
Many of my poems are as short as the words deviously written on the bathroom walls
But my thoughts are longer than any yard stick you can buy at a department store.
Facts are stranger than fiction
So is the expensive tuition.
Thirteen years of free education
Then a sudden fee.
I wonder?

Friends Come And Go?
Seconds pass by
Thoughts come and go
Many people have friends who do
And i have to say the exact same for myself
A discouraging thought to come back into my mind
But i know many things can be fixed
So i'll try to repair the House that once stood here
It can be revived like your teammates in the little portable game player we use to play on as kids.

Align The Stars
I like to align my Stars like you like to brush your hair in the morning
I like to bury my problems like people bury the dead during mourning
I'm sorry to hear that your misery is morphing
I wish i could trap it with a jar
But i'm just a man
I can just try to let it die with my words of empowerment
I work day and night on myself
Using the right words
Cause half the time it's not the right ones
I'll keep trying
Regardless of how many people tell me i know exactly how to speak.
There's always room for improvement.
I like to align my Stars just right
Keep your dreams tight.
Put your hands up
If you're wanting things you can't control to finally change for the better
Put your hands up
If you're wanting something more out of this rock
Put your hands up
If you're tired of being victimized
Put your hands up
If you're tired of being treated like your nothing
Put your hands up
For those who don't have hands
Put your hands up
For those who don't have legs
Put your hands up
For those who don't have Mothers and Fathers
Put your hands up
For the hungry
Put your hands up
For the suffering
Put your hands up
For the poor
Put your hands up
If you're cognizant that your problems are just a tiny fraction of a molten galaxy-share your pain with the rest.
It's a great way to make sure unity survives

Butterflies Becoming Moths
I'm kind of tired of seeing the pretty butterflies becoming moths because the executives tell them to be
The suit and tie looks dapper and nice until they tell you to dance nearly naked in front of thousands of people for profit
I hate to burst the bubbles you blew but i wouldn't point it out if it wasn't true
I don't wear masks unless it's on Halloween
You can find the security blanket in my words
And can feel the true emotion from them

I wish someone would of told me that earlier
I would of told the actual ones i was so they could laugh at me
I'm just a soul trying to improve on the ordinary lines that normally come out
I'm not your Prince bragging about being a King
I'm just the by passer that gives a thumb up to the man making his very own ring for his woman

Public Friend
Everybody is looking for the Public Enemy
But what about a Public Friend?
They've been left under the pouring rain
Holding back bitterness and disdain
Trying to see the greatness again
Everyone needs a friend when the treatment is due.
There are no flukes or mistakes
Just luck and miracles.
And a push of dedication to not quit on someone.

I'd do anything to cease the issues in this very land.

One Out Of Every Six
One out every six women in America
Has been ***** or part of an attempted ****
And i constantly wish that the facts weren't true
Because this is just so awful beyond words
I want to take a shower at the thought of this
The fact that this is so prevalent it blows my fuse
It's incredibly difficult to do so
But this is so severe and disgusting that it does it very easily
We must take the steps for an immediate change
Because i don't want the thought to cross my mind ever again.
I hate the word just as much
I hate the act
I hate the common occurrence
How could you do such an atrocious thing?
It's hard containing my anger. I hate to remind people of such a morbid topic but i feel it needs to be said and not enough Men speak up about this i feel.

Reconnecting Strings
I get tired of a lot of things
But i don't get tired of reconnecting heart strings
With my words
And i don't get tired of helping the broken become fixed
That's what i'm mostly fixated on.
Helping the wounded heal and the runners steal
To third base and to home
Not away from it.
I'm on a writing roll tonight.
If you're OCD,
You're going to hate this poem.

Because it's not what you're used to
and it can be infuriating

I know where i'm going and i'm laughing in enjoyment.
I wish i could take some comedians out of sheer unemployment
And take damaged soldiers out of deployment
But you know that drill already
We're just trying to keep the Earth's rotation steady
But i'm up for going steady
If that's what you want

We're all about want
I'm all about yours
Trying to coordinate each constellation
Is like arguing with a woman
You won't  get the result you were looking for
It's beautiful in the tension
And it has it's suspension
But it's infinite
Meaning it will go on forever
So just try not to.

I never liked arguing
I know i won't later on
Your passion and support is all i need
That's what i look for the most
Someone who doesn't see me as some sort of ghost
Or lifeless party host
But someone that means the air they breathe
I get tired of my mistakes
But to know someone will try to help me prevent them

Is what i like
There has been a couple of people who tried
But i pushed them off the deep end
And i'm terribly sorry for that
Zero fault on you and all for me
I say that with a smile
Because it feels good to be honest with myself

You think it would be a brain-dead thing to master
But it only seems that way
I know from experience
Trust me, I've been there.

My trails go in multiple angles
Just like my nature
But if you're crazy enough to stick around
You'll get a warm welcome
You'll know how to feel special
If you never have before, i'll be the first to show you

I mean every word
With full fledged honesty
I wouldn't say useless, empty words
That's inept and not worth it.

If you're confident in yourself
Girl, you should work it
I heavily value strong traits such as that
You're going to turn all my bumps in my chest flat
And make me enamored just like that
The flick of the switch
No more wishing i would with other male persons.
To get a chance
That's why most men do a celebration dance

Consistently catching me in a trance
I got more lovely words than France
Okay, maybe not
But the ambition doesn't vanish
I'll still try
To keep you mine

Time is precious
So are you
If Time was a woman she would be in disgust
That it's not her in your shoes
You brought your sparkly ones?
Just making all the check marks, are you?

Champions aren't limited to sports
I can assure you.

Let me try to blow your mind some more
I got the wooden logs, do you have the s'mores?
I'll say what i can do better
At this camp fire
It will be like a rite of passage for hire
But you already know, and that's what makes it better
The exact way to be a trendsetter
A human go-getter
That's how i roll, the rocks might get annoyed though.
