The choices we make
plat Oct 2022
I'm not sure what it is
Maybe I inherited it
That whatever choice I make
It seems it was set by fate
Long ago before I was aware
Of the choices that would plague

Perhaps I made a choice last night
In a moment that was insignificant
It seemed at the time the obvious choice to make
But somehow now it comes back
And I don't know why

It keeps me up
Not by worry and anxiety
But by consequence
That I was destined to make a choice
And that I would be awake
Regardless of the choice I made

We've not left
plat Nov 2020
We are all the same
Human nature stays forever
Greed, pity, jealousy

What brings a man to **** another man
When is it that enough is enough

Have We yet changed
From the dukes and kings of yore

What is enough for one man
What will be enough for one man
What ever was enough for one man

Times have yet changed
From the time of thinkers
And the times of sticks and stones
We can put a man on the moon quite easily
But its human nature to fall

What makes We different from Them
From the animals around
Because We build machines
Because We destroy the world
and one another.
Seriously **** life.

Life
Seems        to
Take me      in circles
Nothing        makes any sense
Until it comes back around again
And slowly, bit by bit, one at a time
the pieces fall                into place
It all comes       back around
Life                  seems to
Take           me in
Circles

Winter
plat Mar 2020
Here I sit in my chair
Having cut off all my hair
Feeling the wind on my mind
But not a breeze I can find

I sit and think about the cold
The grey sky
And the days of old
How I wished the winter would go by
But maybe here it stays for all these days
And after it’s all done, and I’ll leave feeling fairly high
But how I wish the winter would go by
Does it all have a meaning, or do some things just happen?

All the people
plat Mar 2020
It would take more than words to describe what I hate
But I shall try

I hate
All the people
Who think they have an issue
And blame everyone else
Lord knows they cant be wrong

I hate
All the people
Who are the best
Who are quick to name their achievements
To show you their degree
But where did that get you?
I'd rather be an idiot than be as arrogant as you

I hate
All the people
Who think they've the worse life imaginable
When they live off their daddy's money and their mommy's love
But the girl down the street has a prettier dress
By all means let me help you
With a swift kick in the ***

I hate
All the people
Who think others care about them
Who cry when they get yelled at
Who think their feelings matter
God forbid someone cross them
Or look at them funny
But when it comes to me or the other kid across the street
Go ahead
Say what you want
Do what you want
They don't matter

I hate all the people
Who like what is popular
They follow the crowd like a mindless sheep
And all the people who think that because they listen to old music
Or read old books
And all those who were born in the wrong generation
They're just a big a sheep as the others
If not even worse
Because they put thought into which group they followed

I love
All the people
Who aren't afraid to say sorry
Who aren't afraid to be in between
Who truly don't care what people think
They don't care if they give off a popular vibe
Or if the stoners like them
Or if the "real" 90s kids like them
Because who gives a ****
They wear what they want
A mirror can **** their ****
I applaud them
For not being ****** in to the propaganda
They think for themselves
i wrote this forever ago i guess its time to put it up

Stages

5 stages of grief
5 stages of hell

1: You tear my arms off
2: You tear my legs off
3: You tear my head off
4: You tear my heart out
5: Rinse and repeat

You take my arms
and You take my legs
You take my mind
and You take my head
You leave me with eternal dread

Birds In The Sky
plat Apr 2019
How I wish to be
As free as the birds in the sky
Or the fish in the sea
So I wouldn't have to be stressed
Or depressed
About things that don't matter
But here I stand
In the wind
Letting my teeth chatter
Playing a game I won't win
Watching a movie that doesn't seem to end
Left to think
About the things deep within
And I learned I wish to be free
Like the birds in the sky
Or the fish in the sea

plat Mar 2019
Boy, it's been a while
But it's not all bad, being away
I went home
Thought it'd be a nice day
Sure it was
But from there, I'd still rather be away
Right here
Here, I'd rather stay

But I can't help but thinking
Should I?

God, you're bipolar
One day you can't get away from me
The next day you can't get away from me sooner
What am I to you?
You say you love me, that you care
But you wouldn't touch me with a 10 ft pole
What am I to you?
Is a hug too much to ask?
One day I'm angels food cake
The next, I'm chopped liver
God you're bipolar

Two Faced
plat Feb 2019
What a two faced
World we live in
Too short for some things
But too long for most
Too competitive to be humble
But too sensitive to boast
So bright during the day
And night too
We help the world, or so we say
But I really ask: who?
There is love and hate
Over the same thing
From the same person
In the same spring
But never once
Can something have it all
That would go against nature
But it would be quite a ball
Is there anything in life without two sides.

What do I deserve.
plat Feb 2019
Sometimes I sit and stare
At the kids over there
Eating whatever they can
They don't deserve that
But do I deserve this
I have everything in the world
Yet I cry
What have I to cry for
A lost puppy
A child
A social issue
While they're over there
While I sit and stare
Maybe I deserve
Oppression
Maybe I deserve
Depression
Maybe I deserve
Pain

Where am i.
God, i hope nowhere.
Just ******* leave me
Jump out a car head first.
Be roadkill.
I'll be nowhere, then.
But here i am.
Wasting my life.
What little there is to waste.
Just end it all.
Leave it all.
That way, i'll be nowhere.
In nowhere land.
Listening to no one man.
Where a hundred voices can call out.
But none make sounds.
Because there's nothing to hear.
God, can i just be nowhere.
Why can't i.

Always
plat Feb 2019
There's always something good to say about a dead person
No one walks to the casket and says
I hated you
Only I love you
I miss you

Being alive
Is full of hate
Full of stress
Overrated
Being alive is what destroys the world
Being alive has caused all the problems, and yet its so highly anticipated

Soda bottle

Shake me up
Shake me up
But don’t open me
Shake me up
Shake me up
But don’t come near me

Watch the bubbles fizz inside
Building up preasure
Until I explode
Throwing glass far and wide.

Or open me
Gently take off my cap
A little spritz of air
And joy
From here to there

But often times
A bottle is used once
Or never at all
Boy, what a shame
Not to be drank
But thrown at a wall

Light years
plat Jan 2019
It feels
Like it’s been years
Since you’ve stepped up
Off your heels
To kiss me
Since you’ve reached up
Into the sky
To hug me

But now
You’re light years away
A fear long ago
But reality today
It feels like you’re
Light years away
It’s hard to be away from someone you love. Yet the farther I am the more I love.

For the demons of the night
Have come over me
So I must bid you farewell

Between metal and flesh
But here I am again

I don't want the choice
You took me in
Though others won't
But left me dry
Like others did
Maybe you're not so wrong
I'd do the same thing
I might as well stay here
Because it doesn't look like I have anywhere else nere

Fall into an abyss
A love having denied a kiss
A kiss which I will miss

Not wanting to live like this
Meeting life with clenched fists
Regretting every being like this

An existence which
I do not condone
It's hard bothering to even pick up a pen

Talk, and laugh, joke about me
But coming for you I will be
I am the monster under your bed
The nightmare in your head
Take one last look around
All you hold sacred
Is just another reason for me to fight
Look and stare
Look and stare
The last thing you'll do
Is stare at me tonight

Focus on something else
Don't look
Don't listen
Don't heed to their notions
That is forbidden
Any love for it
You must keep hidden
Kick it under the bed with quick motions

Why must I hide
I don't want much
Maybe one ride
It really isn't that bad
Even if it is
It won't turn me to their side
Please don't make me hide

Stop saying that
You're wrong
You can't ever
You're not strong
You can't ever
They don't even belong

But what is so bad
Maybe we're wrong
And they can't prove themselves
Because we won't listen
Maybe I don't need to be strong
Maybe we are but lying to ourselves
And the evil
Is on our own shelves

It is a dreary day
And it seems
Like always you will be the hunters prey

But you must take that beating

Sometimes you must put up with the storm
Because a desert comes from no rain
Where all life the sun had since slain

What does real mean?

Some say real
Is what you see
Some say
It's what you feel
Like a man down on one knee

Some say real
Real does not exist
That if we really open our eyes
All we see is a cloudy mist
And it's there we go when we meet out demise

I wonder
What does real mean
Is it what we see
What we feel
Or something else
Right under our heel?

Poetry
plat Nov 2018
Poetry
Is not your most common sight
But the most unusual delight

Some poetry
Comes and goes
In neat little rows

Others yet
Scramble it's
Words

Some poems
Aren't what they seem
Others say exactly what they mean

Some poets
Are archaeologists
Digging for the remnant of a long lost being

Some poets
Are photographers
Taking in what is seen

Not all poems
Though
Have rhythm
And flow

But all poems
Are in their boats
Sent here by their authors
To run the ships
And tend to the goats
And be what they be
And do what they do
Poetry is whatever it is to you
Not my best work, I feel. A friend of mine said he didn't like poetry, or poets, that they're all arrogant and pretentious, little does he know. I made this to show what poetry is and isn't, and how it's both. It really is whatever you want it to be, and it by far is not one exact thing, and cant ever be wrong.

What do I do
To make you cry
What do I do
To make you feel like you should die
How did I
Make you meet your demise

I'm the one who has to pick up the pieces
I'm the one who has to carry you around
But now
I'm the one who gets stomped into the ground?

I sit here
Day by day
Doing nothing wrong
In my chair is where I stay
But here's all the flashing lights and sirens
Bells and whistles here and there
From the ocean up to the highlands
A spotlight with such a glare

And I ask myself
What did I do
To make you cry
And does that mean
That I deserve to die?
Another chance, is all I ask from you.

Am I so
Connected to my past

I wish I were a fly
So in a few days time
I wouldn’t have to try
To forget
And to regret
The unforgettable

My life feels
Like a battle ground
Where two waring countries
Have long since met
And I ask myself
Why
Do I have to try?

Hey you
plat Nov 2018
Hey you
Mr. Beelzebub
Only the buzzing keeping you company
Don't give up
Because no one understands you
But come along with me
And show them whats wrong with me
Hey you
Mr. Yahweh
Your cries will not be heard tonight
For today
The fallen have given up their plight

Look inside you
No one understands you
But I do
Today is the day that mountains fall
Forever in the history books we will be
Pick up the phone and answer your call
So come along and show them whats wrong with me
This is not anti-God, or pro-Satan, but quite the opposite really, it's about the ones who are oppressed and fallen, and made to be fake demons, going against the ones who in arrogance and ignorance make themselves think they're a god in the world. Thank you for sharing you time with me I hope you enjoyed and got something from this poem.

Was my day
Far away
Until I exhausted my stay
But that was long ago
And far away
And as I see again
Things have changed
I begin to realized
How I yearn for a place
That what long ago
And far away
And now
Maybe it should stay that way
Some are new some are old, these are silver those are gold.

From warm bodies long lost to time
And those who leave not
Find an open door

The room will be no more
