Transparent
They speak with such hostility towards my goals
But they're just simply non believers
I stand on top of my sentences with promise and I don't play games
Despite me having a hard time speaking
I come off as slow but I'm simply moving too fast
For someone who is in complete denial of what I have to say
I take pity on those I have hurt
Because I wish I was able to be the only one who was hurt
Too many scratches inside my soul
The Angels couldn't recruit me to protect their threshold until I healed my wounds
But the heart resides and looks for shelter
Two actions at once
I'm a man trying to revert the dagger that I didn't see coming
This blockade of sadness is forthcoming
I must subsidize my qualms and dry my palms
I have too much soot on my hands
I must clean myself before I can be transparent again

Glow Sticks
We interrupt this program
To tell you that your madness is showing
Lighten up on the glow stick purchases
You're scaring the children

Handprint
I'm the handprint you find placed on a door window in a horror film
Trying to run away and get out
The lights flicker like my thoughts
Like all the imaginary things I bought
Of scenarios that never happened
Of what should of
And what didn't
I'm not brain dead
But I'm barely undead
I'm a morbid painting with hidden doves
Open the cage, I'll show you
What I really am
Madness tightened with sanity
My thinking process is a silent rocking chair
Spooky like Batman's lair
I never really liked bats
I'm still trying to figure out why Ozzy Osbourne bit into one
That's the king of darkness right there
My favorite card is the king
Because everyone deserves to feel like one
I'm a king plumetting in my own approval ratings
Because she should of been my queen

In the Box
I'm the love letter you keep in your box until you open twenty years later
And you say "wow" every time
Except those words are tattooed on your heart
And you don't really need the letter
But it's there anyways

Twenty-Fourth Script
It feels like me and you are the only two in the room
And I just sweep it up like a broom
The world around us is just a bunch of extras in this mental movie
I'm someone who makes sure you won't lose me
I didn't hire any actors, because we're the only two main characters
This is already the twenty fourth script

Soft Spoken Scribbles
She was a soft spoken lass
Who was dedicated in the arts and had a heart made out of pure brass
Sitting in a hard chair in class
She scribbled her name and waited for the time to pass
So she could make her move fast
At the right moment after class
The other girl got up to turn in her work when the bell rang
And she put the note on her desk
And zoomed out
Nervous as can be
The note said
"I'm a girl. Is it normal that I like girls.?"
She questioned its author and put it in her pocket, curious.
Little did she know it was someone she was next to everyday
But never acknolwedged her existence
She couldn't blame this girl's persistence
She scouted the school to search for this girl
Eventually she found out
And she thought it would be better to try to make this work
As love can't hurt

Need Feminism
We need feminism
Because nobody puts a baby in the corner and forces it to leave it's creator
Or have Santa's Elves only make half of the toys
It may seem decent but it's all a ploy
A life is worth being equally enjoyed
Regardless of what gender you are
Staying at home was so last century
Let's show the world how amazing women are
Equality for all

Amarylis Lost In Winter
I'm that amaryllis that was left in the winter
I have no guidance or wisdom from Master Splinter
Just my pedals falling away
As you slowly erode me
You have no knowledge of this secret intentsion
My mind feels like it's in a mental detention
With so much thinking
You'd think my boats would be sinking
But they wait
To set sail and let me prevail
Avoiding the monsoons and treacherous hail
I would sail through the entire world
To do this over again

Colonge
A man who wears colonge
Has his scent to atone
Sometime out of need to not feel alone
Or just for the idea of smelling good
The cheap dollar store brand still works
You can't judge a man by his dollar, but his effort.

Feet On The Ground
My feet will stay on the ground
My humbleness will not be gone in the lost and found
It'll still be there when I come around
I take pride in listening to the sound
Of what could be in the crowd
I'll read my thoughts out loud
So I no longer look like a bird who couldn't get out of the clouds
Deer caught in the headlights
That's me with my passion
That's the way it goes
No vibes of empowerment over others
Or vast superiority
Because I took out all the mental soroitys
And told them to shove it
And added new ones instead
Like a kool aid drink that used to be basic water
Same nourishment
Different taste

Never Needed It
I never had a chance
Because I never needed it
I should of had a deal
Because my emotions don't want be in a steal
Its got to be real
Or it's nothing at all

Giving a Visit
I'm going to have to give Mr Rodgers a visit
This is my neighborhood now
Carrying on from the beginning
To make a lost soul into believing they should be winning
Nothing is more infectious than grinning
But the worst part is our sinning
Don't worry, there's enough time for the taxes
The only loan to you is my advice
And not a single dime is taken
Because I'm not mistaken
I don't do things the same way
I'm an Airplane with Ferris Wheels on it

Stick
You stick to me
Like tangled headphones
And Elmer's Glue
Without the rest of the area knowing a clue
From the reflection of my eyes
To the very bottom of my shoes
You're a good reason why I'm this heartfelt
I'm no hunter who kills Leopards for their pelt
But I hunt the darkest words in my soul
And I find the nearest ashes
To start again
Since you wanted to know a new me

Nourishment
You're the tree that has been growing

Love Classic
This song is what you won't finish singing
Why don't you wanna
Be the next Enhueduanna
This work is what I hope that gives your vision a glimpse of sauna
To what people say about marijuana
Read and uplift yourself
We're stuck with ourselves forever
We just need another ounce of charisma
To keep the world at its pace
Your amount of kind words puts a big hole in the phone books
Making my heart go out of pace
Love is the classic
Let's see how long they can keep the parks Jurassic
It wont be too long before I eventually see
What love can really do for me

Smallest Violin
Would it be so ideal
To have you back into my life again
Unfortunately I messed up on my part
Therefore I must deal with the consequences
No need for the smallest violin

I Just Will
Dreaming in my mind
All those flashing lights and me waving my hand
Waking up to stardom with my friends
Who can be called the Justice League of Awesome
I hope DC doesn't get ******
But we don't like to be dismissed
We want to excel in this brutal world
And I'm trying to find a way to succeed and its making my head swirl
"That's never going to happen"
"Impossible"
I could keep thinking of the responses as I laugh
Show and Tell is going to need some million dollar commercials
I don't need to hope
I just will
Plain and simple
Not even the odds are going to stop me
I'm a blockade of optimism
This isn't a euphemism
Even though I enjoy living in those
You better drink before you spit fire out of the hose
Because that's the way it goes
Friend or Foe
Ride or die
No more dreaming and thinking of what it could be and ask why
No more watching paint dry
All the doubt's are going to be the fish that fry
I will
I can tell into the future without being physically able
The Fortune Tellers are going to be out of work
After my first few chapters of this story are told
Behold
The perfect poem describing my attitude. I'm not Jesus or anything, just a man wanting to be famous and enlighten the world with my work. I want to inspire the world and create awesome things  with my friends and live life to my full potential. I have no idea how it will happen but I know it will. Anyone can be famous or become legendary. Nobody can stop you. Nobody is better than you. Rise up and begin your path. You're awesome and you won't give up in life.

Scissors
You took the Scissors
And cut me out completely
You wanted to forget the day you meeted me
On a tide you didn't want to be in front of
Who could of blamed you?
Nobody should of put shame on you
You did what a normal person would
Be upset

You make the jewels on the imaginary ring look like crap

I'll pause

Gothic Western
The black, white and the Grey
Sounds like a Gothic cliche
Automatically people want to run away
When they see those colors being worn by a individual
They're definitely the opposite of subliminal
To judge them is stereotypical
If you ask me, we can arrange a miscible
To embrace morbid unity
To make a deal with the past
Where lives were ended by a speedy gun blast
The good, bad and the ugly
Was the old school Black,white and grey

Connection
Some people's days are made with big parties at the end of the night
But mine are made when you look at me
Even if it's the most plain, boring look in the world
The fact your irises made a connection with mine
Is what keeps me up at night

Sweetness in the Sugar
You put a whole new taste to sugar
Those candy commercials couldn't label the sweetness of you
***** Wonka is drinking himself to sleep
Because you're the superior type of candy when I put you into words
I don't sweet talk to get something
I sweet talk cause its honestly true
Your precensce sticks to me like glue
All those books with Mary Sues
Unrealistically describes you
All the food in the fridge is expired
But not my love for you

I forgot to put tape on their mouths
We can tie them up together

Three Hundred Dollar Candles
These three hundred dollar candles on this table
Are challenging their value over me
Sorry I'm not specially scented
I'm speaking to a candle, I must be heavily demented
I don't belong in this Italian Restaurant
I might challenge their romanticness
Polish and prestine
Just a toast for Christine
I'm not the biggest spender for tiny appiitizers

Forever
A little backnote confession
Silent but wanting it to be heard
I don't want to be a nobody
Or somebody unknown throughout his life
I want to to be remembered for centuries
Come drown these doubted words with me
I'll pay for the drink
Let's sooth the fire at the start
So it doesn't get awkward
I'm not better than Mozart or the guy you see it at the Subway restaurant
But I want to be someone who impacts the world
I want something about me to give warmth inside a woman's bones
Where she can't see herself with any other man
Because I'm an open folder that was opened on the wrong page
And I want you to know that my fears are your future problems
And I don't want that
I just want to be a man who is remembered forever
For the world and your world
Ahead of immortality, you're the most important
Making you happy is what removes the dirt from my skin
And cleanse itself instantly
You're the reason I'm not piling up on candy at a Dollar Tree
I just want you to feel independent and free
And satisfied with me
I want that chance for you to be happy
Because you're looking for a certain man
And I just want to fit that criteria

Kinda Crazy
I'm kinda Crazy
Kinda shy
Kinda artistic
Kinda fun
Kinda spontenous
But im a new bag of sugar
Mix it up into the mess
So you can let the light digest
I'm hard to fully understand and fully congest
But that's what is so fun
Take the chest and run
Run with my heart and protect it
Never let it slip away
Or become dismembered into an oblivion
You are my protector
I am yours
We're all faced with this contempt
But we have to avoid the  forcoming tempest
When you hurt me, I know you never truly meant it
So fragile, just like me

So Many Lives
The thought of you
Sticks inside my head
Like invisible glue
If it was a quiet place, I'd be all over you
Too bad life is so short

To become immortal through time
But I'm only human
I wish I could do more than any man has ever dreamt of before

Alice's Grave
Visiting Alice's Grave
There was nothing more than her life to save
She was the most brave
She was the good game you wanted to save
That dependent person to rely on
The shoulder to cry on
She was the kindest and most caring friend a human can ask for
She would see the rain and watch it pour
Smiling and dancing with a yellow jacket
She put on a Darth Vader helmet during one of her birthdays
She invented the term "wild card"
You could never predict her
She left behind a legacy
And a Best friend
Who was there until the end
Who she thought was a friend when she was alive
Was something more
Something she accidentally ignored
Roseyln loved her, but never told her
Now her life is under a carved boulder
This is a fictional story. Nobody named Alice died. This was written to portray a tragic heartbreak for a character and never revealing her true orientation to her friend.

I Promised You a Rosegarden
I promised you a rose garden
It was beautiful from the day it started
But it died down in the winter
To come back in the spring
Coming back full of life
Kind of like you everytime
You don't say never
You are relentless
I promised you a rose garden
Because I can't just say what I feel
I must show it through the end of time

Ferguson
One small decision
Has left us in terror
With flames in the sky and bullets going into our hearts
This city is falling apart
The reporters are speaking in shock
As they hear sounds of the booming glocks
The angry and selfish have caused chaos in the stores
Tears and sadness is apparent in their faces
Completely still
Stuck
Whispering HELP ME
HELP US
The police are standing in valiant honor
Trying to hold the pain
The horror
That has surcumbed to this beautiful city
They shout the taunts and words to guilt
While fake blood is being spillt
Bringing the racial issues into play
Much to unity's dismay
We will never surrender to violence unless provoked
Peaceful protestors are the lone light
In this raging battle
To save justice
They want body cameras in the future
But I think they should have them now
We must learn our lesson
This is another Rodney King disaster
The United States is never used to this
So we are scared
I pray for the innocents
They never asked for this
The peaceful protesters earn my respect
They emulate the right way to fight
They are willing to stay up all night
To stand for something
Not looting and breaking into buildings
Those are the examples of the demons within us
The peaceful ones are concerned about police militarization
But they need to survive too
Against the ones who misuse the Guy Fawkes Masks
They stand in fear
Shivering in the cold
As the Seasons Greetings sign hangs in the mist by the tear gas
When will this pass?
Help us find peace
And leave none deceased
STAND.
NO
MORE
GREED.
ONLY
SELF
DEFENSE.
PEACE.
In the wake of Ferguson's treacherous riots.
