Another win, another celebration.
Fifteen world championships
That’s inspiration.

But are you ready? For the beast?
Because rumors are swirling
That he’s been released.

Four men are the least of your worries,
Because you’re about to be interrupted
On this golden journey.

You've defeated him once before,
But he is no longer weak.
As he is much stronger
Since he defeated the deadman's streak.

Now he’s coming for you,
And your championship.
It’s not so much another run,
But for the pain he loves to inflict.

So forget Mr. Money in the Bank,
And the four other gladiators.  
Enjoy your title run now, Cena.
Because Brock Lesnar is an annihilator
This poem is about professional wrestler John Cena winning his fifteenth world championship (which is pretty much a big deal) and the obstacles he is rumored to be facing after the next pay per view. I am a HUGE pro wrestling fan and I've been writing a lot of pro wrestling poems lately. I actually don't think this one is that bad.

Hey, Mr. G, remember me? I was the kid in the class with Davey G. And after I moved on to another grade, I continued to visit you so in your memory I wouldn't fade. I just wanted to say, you meant a lot to me, because you were the only teacher that didn't look down on me. You gave me hope, you gave me inspiration. Even though I didn't follow your advice through graduation. But you did a lot for us, and all your other kids. And because you were the cool teacher, the board treated you like spit. But you made school worth going to, you changed all of our lives. We became sort of a family in 5th period, even if all we did was fight. Because of you, I passed and went to the eleventh grade. You did everything you could even though you were underpaid. And let’s not forget what you did for Davey G. He wanted to drop out, I remember those words “Mr. G, you saved me”. Though we didn't exactly follow through, and ended up in bad places, you gave us hope for a minute, you didn't judge our cover, but read through our pages. The day you said they were firing you, I swear I shed a tear. I knew what you were going through, and I felt your fear. I tried everything to save you, but it was too **** late. I remember the goodbye like it was yesterday. I shook your hand the way you taught me to, and we shared a gripping hug. That day was one that surely ******. But not as much as the first day of the next year, when I walked past your class, just to see some teacher yelling at their kids, looking like an ***. But I hope you’re good G, because I think of you a lot. I hope you got a better job, because you deserve another shot. I hope your future students appreciate you as much as I do, and hopefully we cross paths again, because that’d be pretty cool.
a letter to a high school teacher of mine. One of the greatest teachers to ever live.

The sunset glows a golden hue,
Not a white cloud in the sky.
The rain has just passed us
And the wind is waving goodbye.

The storm is still roaring thunder.
Letting us know of its presence.
Thank you for cooling the earth.
The humidity was quite unpleasant.

I stand outside for a smoke,
Feeling the soft cool breeze,
I close my eyes and relax,
I haven’t been this calm in weeks.

As night dawns upon us,
The sun says goodbye.
But beauty isn't gone,
Here comes the night sky.

You’re my father and I strongly dislike you.
I can name a hundred reasons for why I do.
But let’s start with the first, how you treat my mom.
I don’t care who you are, you do that, and you’re gone.
My mom is my life, I love her, and she is my protector.
She always has been since you were never there.
The way you talked to her and the way you treated her.
My entire childhood was an emotional roller coaster.
Spending hours with my mom, who was crying in bed,
All because you couldn't keep a calm head.
Then you’d yell at me when I told you what you did.
I was only looking after my mom, I was only a kid.
That’s all I remember, is you’re verbal abuse.
Always with your big mouth always profuse.
Still to this day, you’re still picking on us.
That’s why I packed and I left your house.
I came back home, where my heart belongs.
To stay here with the parent I love, my mom.

All I am…
Is less the man
Than I used to be.
I crumble more
Every single day.
I have no idea
How to Stop
The decay.
All I am…
Is a wounded soldier
Left on the battlefield,
Left to die left to be killed.
No man left behind?
Motto for the military
Not the motto for life.
“Given up? Here’s a knife”
“**** yourself, because you’re useless”
“Don’t know how to fix yourself you’re clueless”
Says the man in my head every day.
All I am…
Trying to do
Is find my way back.
But confidence, and energy
Is something I greatly lack.
No map, gps, or phone.
I’m out here all alone.
Who Am I?
I don’t know.
All I am…
Is a lost soul.

I remember the first time we said hi
You complimented my shirt
Then said goodbye.
I remember the first day I came over
We went to bed drunk
And woke up hung-over.
I remember the day I asked you out
I remember that smile
I remember that night out.
It was the fourth of July
An oh so magical night.
Before the arguments and before the fights.
I remember thinking how lucky I was
I remember how all night we hugged.
The fireworks shined bright like your eyes,
I had to have been the luckiest guy alive.
I held your hand that entire day,
I remember how the skies turned gray,
But with you by my side,
It was like the sun stilled shined.
That day I made you mine,
I wish, I wish you were still mine.
