I'm an artist?
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
I'm not better than anyone here
I'm not higher than you
I'm the same as you, we all have the same lane
We're in this together.

I zoom in my lane
Because i must
For me to break the mold
I got to make my struggles look old
So they can die off and fade away
Making me breathe in peace.
Take off your mask
Take off your blinders
Take off your fallacies
I want the real you
I want everything in the world to be real again.
Everything feels so fake, i want to leave this nightmare
Catch me if you dare
My memory becomes impaired
Thinking about what it used to be.
Stuck in the past, but still looking foward
Hopefully the past will come alive in the past iteration
So easy to hurry
Get everything over with
That i find it hard
To sit back and watch the beauty right in front of me at the moment
Impatient minds are something of the past and the present
But it's more of a enigma
This is a improv poem
As vibrant and vivacious as a brand new totem
My luck feels like a bad game of Texas Hold 'Em
Instead of picking up the cards I fold them
The moon is covered in clouds when I walk out on the porch
Letting my presence sink like a dying torch
I'm not the one who rides on self pity
But I'm the lonely beggar drowning in the city
Barely making it
I can swear to you I'm not faking it
Everything that happens in my life
Should not contuine in my offspring
For they only know unity and peace
Until I send them off into this world
Where people are hanged and ******
For being the ones who want to live freely
As I know times are tough
I must not get my hands too rough
I must make sure the water is just right and my tone is prestine
So they can comprehend why I'm intently serene
So they can remember my words
So that they can swing the sword
With only thier words
For that they can become much more ambitious than other kids in their generation
And seize the hearts of a nation
They could become beloved sensations
That would be my greatest iteration
God bless me for that I've loved
Will bless me with the most beautiful people the Earth could possibly have standing
Taking after their mother
Who is my queen of the kingdom I so want to return to
As life is the opposing men capturing me and keeping me in their cold, lonely, prison.
This poem was done by improv. I really honed my skills at coming up with poems out of the whim. It's a beautiful skill.
I'm the pharaoh that they forget to lock the coffin on
I took all the toilet paper off
And threw it into the ground
Ready to start over
Where you left off
Don't think for a moment
That you can count me out
I'm zero, the possibilities are infinite.
Resurrection is key.
I want everything to be perfect
Not out of people
But everything else
Like $20 per hour jobs at entry level
Always stable economies
Always safe retirement money
Always bright futures
Drugs that don't harm your health
Police who save people instead of aressting them
Technology already at the highest level
Diseases completely eradicated
Long lifespans for everyone
I sound insane, but my wants are very plain when I write them out.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
Only to not have a clue
Where the Indians were actually at.
The body knows what it wants
But what does the mind want?
We shut down or get warnings
But our mind doesn't give us that indication
It just gives us vague reiterations
You write in emergency
But you cause yourself your own problems
Stop saying heavy words to just backpedal on it days later
Quit practicing backpedaling when you're not even a bicyclist.
Humanity argues over the most inept subjects
I'm convinced that we like to converse in circles
And try to tell ourselves we're advancing when we're still arguing over the most irrelevant things to ever grace the earth.
So many people fight over pointless things lol
Being the Academy Sports discount punching bag was so yesterday
I love it when you say I'm not good enough
Because I didn't pay you to be my personal coach
It gives me so much depth in my existence
When so many people who barely knew me tried to slow down the inevitable win
I take a huge step
To be right in front of her
So she's safe and sound
My head is a warzone in itself.
Sometimes there's no victors.
Sometimes there is.
I hate to convince myself that i must confide
A amoeba that's restricting me so i can abide
There's no true purpose in where i hide
And taking unnecessary sides
I just want something tasty on my side
Nothing too dazzling
But that's exactly how i describe myself
And i want to run it away
Not so it can come back another day
I tend to be vociferous
And it irritates me
Why can i have a mind that entices the thought and not berate it?
I feel disjointed, jaded
Far from elated
Somehow my reinforcements become instant vaporization
Nothing adds up to a stimulation
What was i put here for?
To quarrel, to entrench myself with misery?
I need something to distract
Keep me in humble tact
Busy
As a bee
But i don't want to sting
Or the frivolous bling
Why can't i figure it out?
Nobody can for me
As easy as that pleases the ear
I must adhere
To my own belligerent madness
And find some sanity in it
It's a unembellishing feeling.
I originally wasn't intending to be a poet
But I was a wizard and didnt know it
You casted a spell on me that I never could of deflected
But I took all the good it injected
And made the numbers projected.
My juices were flowing like they were supposed to
Into new waters.
Sometimes i get lost in other poet's work
That i forget where i am in the current time frame
Am i inside the poem?
I think so
Don't tell Houston, i have enough problems as it is
Let's pull out a lawn chair and watch the beauty unfold
This is the best moment never told
Until now.
Forget pre-Madonnas
We want to get away from all the self-proposed Shakespeares that think their opinions matter more here
Humanity should rid itself from elitism and stop being insincere
It would put our contributions in the clear.
Don't tell me it's natural
To look at a women inappropriately
To excuse your poor behavior
They're already scared and intimidated by thousands of other men like you
Dehumanizing them in every aspect
It is Man's greatest defect
You should only inspect
Her eyes when you are looking at her
It shouldn't matter if there's a drove of women walking down the street naked
Your eyes are not to wander
Anywhere else
It is the greatest challenge for Man
But you must do all that you can
To be abstinent of flawed desires
She is a human
Not a doll
For you to stare down and wither away one by one
I dream of a day
That a Man can resist every time
That will mean he has won the battle
That Women have been fighting
For what seems like forever
The amount of men teaching their sons
The rudiments of respect
Are far lower
Then it used to be
If I ever have a Son
He will know that he cannot disrespect them as such
Or he'll be ridiculed
In every way
Watch what you say, watch what you do and most importantly
Never make her feel blue
Always make her feel good as new
Regardless if you love her or she's just a friend
Because there are way too many lowlifes that only care about her body and their selfish desires
We need to increase our standards higher
I hope that he will be stating this in flyers
He won't be a liar
Either
When he does wrong
He'll look at her in the eye
And face the assessment he proposed upon himself
Like he should
If he's sincere
She'll love him like no one else ever could
Men are imperfect
So am I
But I challenge myself every day to improvise
On the insights and complaints of women today
And work to help these worries go away
I hope I'm a better man today
Only God knows what I truly deserve
I will preserve
My actions
And hopefully I'll be close to our goal
To be the kind of man I aspire to be.
Smething we all must implement within ourselves. The #metoo movement must be heard.
They may be the spawn of all your uncertainty
But you cannot blame them
But we can blame you for thinking a certain way
Or speaking a certain way
You don't have the right to feel the way you feel
In the land of hypocrisy
We can do one thing
And say the other
Without any chastisement
How dare you exist
How dare you persist
In these deep blue thoughts
Turning into purple
A deep dark crimson peeking out of me
I left it to rot
But it's coming out of the lot
Everyone wants to be a despot
When I just want something to be done
Everything leading up to here was far from fun
But my mind will stay on the run
You can't expect me to not be a hired gun
When I can't even see my own Sun
Due to their constant eclipse
I felt it once before
Let me have another glimpse
Of sudden paradise
Very few moments truly felt genuine
The rest were just bland nothings
Contrived and reaped
It doesn't matter how much I wept
It's just a show to them
Let me get some high quality actors
Since my personal battles were never a factor
In this treacherous journey
To be worth something
Devalue me and retract your stance
I'm letting Lucifer dance
While I stay silent
Nobody ever gives me a chance
To speak
I'm unreasonably weak
In your eyes
While you never brought together an idea of compromise
So the best option for you was to leave me paralyzed
I don't care how your words are stylized
It still holds no meaning to me
I think I saw this coming long ago
I never wanted to come to terms
You're the President that should of never got them
That I should accept this
I'm on a road that only I can understand
While everyone else believes that approaching anything with feral verbalization is the key
Oh, what a hell it is being me

I think I;ve had enough.

This road looks like the endless blackness that you see in those games you stay until midnight playing
You think you can fabricate things but all I'm saying is

You could of done a lot better in a world where I always think I have to be.

These colors lose their appeal because I'm swimming in a depression that shouldn't be real
I'm thankful but resentful that I have to feel
I wish this pain wasn't real
Every moment you implement it to my vital signs

I wish the elation was always alive
And never had to be a victim of contrive
Pin me against the wall
All you want
I'm the peace in this elongated firefight
While I stay awake at night
I find reasons to quell the tensions
That this world has

No matter what a living soul says to me
I have every right to feel this
I have every right to say what is on my mind
Purpose is so hard to find
When you always grind
And they just throw you into a bind
The only person I have is me and Christ
More will suffice

I love who I am
But be cognizant that I'm a man who knows he's by himself
I have accepted it.

The path of legends await
I'm ready to walk

Into the depths of Insulation
I smile with confidence
I know you think I don't have it
But I have everything
Let the universe dictate
Where I should go.
I have returned. Let's see where this takes us.
Insurance companies
Are legalized buissnesses off of your discrepancies
Disguised as normal drivers themselves
Her Father will ask you

"What are your intentions with my Daughter?"

Your one and only answer should be:

Marriage.
International Women’s Day?
Don’t you mean 24/7/365?
That sounds about right
Just making sure you knew
That day was misconstrued
We don’t need a holiday for that
Women being free is a holiday in itself
We don’t need 12 days
We need 365
Because we’re going all year long
And we’re not stopping for anyone
Partners in crime
Without doing any crimes
Somebody to help make these words rhyme
Whoever helps pass these reckless times
Is worth celebrating every day by telling them how much you appreciate them
Because there might be a day that you will longer be able to
Women should be celebrated 365 days a year.
Don't worry about that Interview,
you could always be a worldwide hated dictator.
Lol i hope people get this.
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
Constantly feeling like I belong in a trap
Surrounded by drugs and rap
And people who don't give a crap
How did I turn out alright?
I'm honestly confused
I guess I'm very strong
My persistence seeps through
And it sticks like glue
Where before it came off
Oh have the times have changed
I could of been another drug addict but I won't be
I made the choice to survive and persist
The demons at bay can insist
But I'm Satan's cyst
With the flick of the wrist
I can create enough mist
To make the wind twist
And flourish the oxygen we breathe.
People think it's the love and the ***
The deep emotional vex
That completes the hex
But it's really seeing the piles of paper
That never seem to taper
Get put into print
In a text size that you don't have to squint
A sense of joy and accomplishment
That's why I get so much elation
An old house always getting renovation
Some of us attempt to deconstruct those walls
But we're invincible with the notepad and pen
I have this giant grin on my face
When I write in a cozy place
And meet the quota I set
No matter what response I get
I shall be happy to be able to hike up the word count
And do what I enjoy
That's what makes this all worth it.
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
Isolation should be a crime to the Brain
Seen as a predicament against the Grain,
But it's simplest definition is feeling lower than the Rain,
And i never want to feel this way ever again,
But I've lied to myself before
It's inevitable at one point so there's zero reason to ignore it
But i want to keep it out of my vision,
Where did my shield go?
I stand in my way
You stand in yours
Pick up the pressure
By doing what you love anyway
That's not in the story manual for TV dramas
But who cares?
We're doing what we want
I think that's better than senseless fighting for however long
Years and years of wasted time
But I don't plan on wasting any
Some of the ashes are lovely
Because they deserve to be ashes
I don't want to be that ever again
I stand in my way, but I will not be Ash.
I will move myself out
Like the Moving companies
And find a new destination
To harvest my potential
A Cop who has heard everything in the book
Except this one statement
"I swear to DWI i'm not drunk"
It's a clear example of guiltiness wrapped around incoherent speech from impairment
I can't stop thinking about you (I think you're trying.)
The galaxy may be dying
But we won't be alive to witness that
As long as your galaxy doesn't die, i'm wholeheartedly content
Seeing you completely ravaged is what i deeply resent
I want to be there for your past, future and present.
It's a free nation
But you can't paint your house black
You can't have a water bottle cause there might be a bomb in it
You can't wear hats
You can't wear gorilla suits on a wild-themed dress-up day because you might be a bank robber
You can't run a lemonade stand without a licence
You see a trend here?
Why are you accepting this tomfoolery?
I love my country but this crap bugs me to no end.
It's okay
Guys should be able to marry guys
Girls should be able to marry girls
Guys and Girls can like/marry both
Girls should be able to become guys if they want
Guys should be able to become to girls if they want
I'm a straight white male
Ripping out the clichés in this ****** boring book society has written
The only concern i have is for beastialitists and necrophillacs
Now thats what we should be disgusted with
Those two aren't human
But loving the same gender or both is
You're a beauty and I want to commit
A gorgeous RV and I want to be inside of it
Talk about camping
Forget the old, in with the new
I'd try to cook her beef stew
Cause she's a film and I want to be her crew
Her private assistant
There in an instant
Don't be too distant
I want to make sure you're safe
I try to take down all the wraiths
That try to make you change your faith
I love all of you and I want someone who gets me for me
I'm an emotional guy but that's just another reason why
You should commit too
***** are lit
I hope I can be the best of it
I want you to feel dizzy with pleasure
And dizzy in security and joy
******* isn't everything but we both like it and I want to deliver
No more disatisified women
They go through enough crap
Us guys are here to make them happy after a long day at work and dealing with things when shouldn't have to deal with but society makes them go through it
I'm your biggest fan, girl
I wear you on my chest
Because you own my heart
It beats for you
I wish i could reverse
The cure i accidentally
Placed on you
This tests my waters every time i think about it
I just want you to be remain unscathed
While you continue your life without anymore pain
I'm always relentless on being cognizant with people's feelings
But when i mess up, i guess it's jackpots for Satan.
I'm so sorry
I feel worse than any Saturday morning cartoon villain can ever aspire to be.
This goes to two special people in my life that i hurt in different times of my life. I'm so sorry, it affects me more than you could possibly know.
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?
I would cast a shadow
But you’re already there
I would leave this house
But I’m caught by the style of your hair
I can’t show up out of nowhere, no that wouldn’t be fair
The planet is my lair
Feeling only the swiftness of the air
You’re the reason why a shadow like me would care
I’m just a shadow, who wouldn’t dare
Dare to care
I’m as broken as broken could be as a shadow
The weeping willows are really weeping
Their life is slowly depleting
They can relate to me
We’re falling under
We don’t want be shadows any more
We don’t want a shell
Or something to hide in
We want to be like the rest
The alive
We feel like Spalding in Cast Away
We can’t respond back
We desperately want to
We hear your cries and pain
But were quieter than the uniqueness in the rain
We are screaming your name
But it won’t do any good
Our goose is overcooked
And now we have to sit back and face facts
Opposites attract
But why don’t Shadows?
Because we’re just nothing
Existing in something
The background dancers to this lifeless performance
We’re asking them to throw tomatoes at us
It’s just a given
Nobody wants to be us
Nobody has any recognition for us
That’s why we long for them to
A reason to be celebrated
If we’re not getting attention we want, than we deem ourselves as useless
But we shouldn’t, there isn’t a room for the hopeless
But everyone tells us we’re just shadows
And we won’t amount to anything
It’s so hard for some of us to not believe them
But now they’re no longer retreating from themselves
They’re deeming themselves as victorious
Because they dragged the weak down further
Because they feel like the dirtiest portion of dirt itself
Janitor or CEO
If I want you
I'll do anything to have you
I don't expect it to come easy
The best things in life require work
But you can put the maximum amount of hours down for me
Because I'll put more into you than I'll ever do for me
Girl, you really make me warm
I want my kindness to swarm
Into your perfection
Failures today,
Winners tomorrow.
Make sure you fill up your lungs so you don't get too hollow
This journey has just begun.
“You’re just churning out words”
Isn’t any story you read just a bunch of words?
They just pass the comprehension test
So why do you detest
Such a fast paced style?
Is it cause you wish you could mimic?
Or is it cause you’re not really a writer?
Writers churn out words to feed their families and their spouses or even themselves
Sometimes people enjoy my “churned out words”
In the end, your churned out words will just be at the same starting level as everyone else's and your discouraging comments will flare and vaporize into nothing
As your name stays behind
And mine and the other ones rush ahead
Because their words mind their own business
And don’t seek destruction
They’re aware of the chances
They’re aware of the equality
So why aren’t you?
To the silly ***** who said i don't really write, that i just "churn out words" when all they write is $2 fan fiction that is 8 million in the rankings on Amazon and happens to have only one somewhat successful novel that is only at 70,560ish place. Seriously, don't listen to people who say these stupid things. Be humble and support everyone you like or don't have any preference for, that's what we're on this Earth for. Not this pretentious bullcrap that gets spewed by people who aren't really anything. I hate to be that way but its truth and there's a very good reason why they're in that spot. You can shine and i want you to become big, fellow writers. Honest to God :)
It doesn't make any sense how everything juxtaposes
But i'm a model that makes no poses
I don't want to be an impose
Unless it's dire
Unless someone is in danger
Then i hope i'm not the Lone Ranger
In my efforts and intentions
I hope i get some help
To perpetrate this evil off together
We seem weak now but we can become menacingly powerful against our worst enemies
This means war
Paradise is meant to stay
So try to come my way
You're going to tussle with the wrong people
We'll see the results at the end
I made a mistake once or twice
I know i payed the price
But it shouldn't be from a roll of the dice
But in karmatic waves.
I get what i deserve
You are a forest that must be preserved
But i must have the same treatment as well
I'm sorry for how you fell
But it wasn't in my intentions, you should be able to tell
I will apologize like others yell
And i will accept responsibility when integrity is not well
Because i am a man
And you are a woman
Zero animosity
No grudges.
Just a separation from the moral judges.
It's never easy to part with something you're attached to, but you know you must. It's like the bottom of the ocean, big, black and lonely at the bottom. People would be quick to judge me negatively but my words prove differently along with my future plans to avoid creating another situation like that ever again.
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
All you single ladies only need to know one thing when it comes to advice
It won't be like the Three Blind Mice
You must be kind and gentle
While stern and strong
Before long
You'll have men wanting to be your husband
And you'll have a hard time choosing, they'll be so many
Make sure you pick the one that best fits you
We don't need any more unsatisfied married women in the house anymore
We need some happily married women up in this joint
That's what I like to see
What I would like to be
Is her husband
Come home from the all the nonsense to see that beautiful smile?
Worth it.
Every single time
I won't let her do all the work at home
Time for me to do my part here, too
Sure, I'd love to watch the New York Giants game or play the newest Steam game over laundry and mowing
But I'll be dammed if I let her do all of it when she's tired enough already
These things I think of when we're going steady
If you ask me if I'm willing, I was already ready
To be yours forever more
They'll ask me "Who do you work for?"
And I'll gladly say
"Her."
I'd rather be kind for no reason
Then be a ******* for no reason
I try to wake up bright
But some days I'm just not alright
I have a hard time dealing with my life
But I know it will be just fine
I calm myself through simple joys
I think that's how most of us survive.
I finally stopped playing the role of Kingpin when i jumped out of the bowling alley
Saying hi to all the Sallys
Because they all think i'm pretty nice
Yeah i'm alright
I'm just trying to make this life right
Keeping my moral rope tight
So i don't get too loose
On the grip
Many people let it go a few times in their life
I'm trying to make sure i don't
I'm not sure how i got the inspiration to write this one. I just wrote this one out.
I'm not a Know-IT-All
I just know it all in this category
But i'm blurry on the others
But hey, we can always improve!
Got to keep the train on the rails
Got to keep that truck shipping boxes
No stagnation is allowed around these parts
Only growth and development
