dignity
Sam Martin Jul 2010
though sandy beaches wave along the empty netted fog
happy days will flutter by
like the careless wings on a butterfly
when you return to me
my sweet dignity

indecision
Sam Martin Jul 2010
Pull my thoughts from a crowded hat
I cant decide on this or that
that or this
touch or kiss
peachy keen or extra bliss
cant play this game
aint' a reigning champ

...so i'll fold my cards and shut up.
this is odd, i usually don't write like this... but i'll take it!
Sam Martin Jul 2010
"I am not of worth."
"I am not revered."
being talentless
is what i've always feared

"This boy
craving release of cluttered thoughts
puts pen to paper
but repeatedly jets out
uncreative inkblots."
I am silhouetted by the face of laughter and joy
all cavorted actions are just a decoy
what i'm thinking is I have no reason
everyone just seems so far
why am I here?
whatever you are.
original poem by Sam Martin

"no one i think is in my tree." -John Lennon

I am sane
Sam Martin Jul 2010
Every night I lie awake

Every night I start to quake

Every night I ache for you

Every night, you know its true

Every night i am insane

a bursting mind, infected pain

I feel want to come to terms

When very night that she confirms

She will calm this rigid boy

On a shady path with no deploy

Now every night i lie awake

but every night there is no pain

No hurt no loss no kind of shame

I lie awake, and i am sane.

better than me
Sam Martin Jul 2010
ah, now I see how you really feel
that fake loving surface is starting to peel
i've tried to be the best, all just for you
and i want you to know
I do all I can do

but you shove it right back
all in my face
and I think I could see me
somewhat replaced
cause I seem to make it worse
when you need someone most
you'd be better off speaking
to a ******* fence post

please dont get me wrong
I love you endlessly
but you seem to deserve
someone better than me.
Nothing fancy at all.
Just to the point.

haiku's are easy

wanted to put a happy read up
hope it gave someone a smilee :)

It's horrible is'nt it?
Sam Martin Jul 2010
Its horrible is'nt it?
when you wake up to a bed
a stable paid roof, upon your sweet head
bundles of clothes, its really the worst
when one of your shirts is'nt matching the first
you cry of your life
you'll never win
but you do not think
of what could've been
i am so weird
you might assume
cause' i live in a house
with only one room
dont wanna go on
cant tell the whole world
it will be in time
unraveled, unfurled
so awake  your tired eye
make a grand cup o' tea
cause the room that i speak of
is a thing called adversity
You dont know what you have until you lose it.

from my point of view
they showed not one sign of budge
these hands seemed so strong
