I am a yo-yo
Going up and down
Sometimes I reach the sky
Sometimes I hit the ground
Then the string breaks!
Once you feel that tiny
almost non existing
sensation
of freedom and inspiration
in your chest and soul,

you're happy.

Fulfill those small
streams of creativity

and you're truly happy.
You've never changed
And your unfathomable number of wrongs
have never changed intentions.

Do you wish that I in return,
Solicit faithlessness?

So you may feel
As if I'm really not as high as the matured stars,
But a stick in the childish mud,
like you?

Tell me why would I want
To ever change my intentions.
Created this in 'Adopt a Metaphor'.
It really isn't as hard as it seems if you pair yourself up with a goodie.
Very useful and fun, a great idea!
She rested a hand on my shoulder and smiled,
"Nice guys finish last."
My ****** expression remained the same while taking in
what left her tongue as her smile and hand soon left me.
She's going back to the other guy.
The 'bad boy'.
The kind of guy who won't consider her first,
the kind of guy who won't share how he's feeling first,
the kind of guy who lied to her, saying she was his first.
My shoulder, still warm from her hand, shrugs.
It, and the rest of me, know. I'm the guy who touches her the deepest,
I'm the guy who will do anything to see her warm, comforting smile,
I'm the guy who will wait for the bad boy to break her heart.
I'm the 'nice guy'.
She may come to me lastly, but in her heart,
I will finish first.
You see the red brick road, the lines and rows,
The dreadful woes, and droves of cracks,
It's not bound to last.
It's like a viral attack.

When the lights go down, It's a quiet town, no one else around.

The stretch of stone, lined with trees,
The ground gives way and buckles your knees.
All while the wood explodes, leaving you bruised to the bone.

Don't know why you're here, suppose to face your fears.

The shattered sky, falls and cries,
The weight of life, takes you by surprise,
Gives you burdened eyes.

You sit there stunned, all kinds of blood.

Love calls out, makes you hear it's name,
When you know where to go,
And find your way,
It seems so clear, so hard to stay.

Start taking strides, and your strength arrives.

It's not an easy street,
It's just the way to be.

I am one
In a sea of a thousand
I swim among myself
Because I cannot go on
Pretending to be
Some one I am not
They ask us to morph
Our beliefs to fit theirs
With no care of how we
Feel
Only of how they can gain
From our blood sweat and tears
How they can take
From us
But never give
Its a one way street with them
And they won't stop at the
Lights
Because they don't mean a thing to
Them
Our rules don't apply to them
Because in some way
That I cannot see
They are above us
If I could raise my voice
Above the uproar
I would ask how
How they think they can push us down
Why they think we deserve less
Is it because we make less?
Now how is it our fault
When work is bad
And gas is through the roof
My mom is barely home
She comes home with bleeding fingers
Only to make just enough to pay the bills
I know she hurts
And she thinks of leaving
Everyday
But I'll be the one
To stand for my mother
When she's to weak
I'll speak for her
When she can't
I'll be her eyes
When hers won't see
I'll lead her from this world
Of this trumps this
To one that could care less
If you can afford to waste money
On things that mean nothing
Things that are expendable
That can be replaced
I'll live for a world of peace
Where differences make us smile
Where love is for anyone
Where we all respect each other
