Poor Man says...
If I had money
Then I would be free...

Rich Man says...
If I had more money
Then more money is what I'd need...

Poor Man says...
If I had a Mansion
Then who could want for more...

Rich Man says...
I have three Mansions
I'm working on my fourth...

Poor Man says...
I'd have all these friends
I'd shower them with much...

Rich Man says...
I have friends
But don't know who to trust...

Poor Man says...
With my money
I would buy happiness...

Rich Man says...
When the money arrived
Is when the happiness left...
I Got Nothing (suicide)

I got nothing
Nothing else inside
Nothing else to speak about
Nothing else to hide

I got nothing
Nothing to call mine
Nothing to make me smile
Nothing to leave behind

I got nothing
Nothing to ease the pain
Nothing to protect me
Nothing to guide the way

I got nothing
Nothing else to give
Nothing else to hope for
Nothing to make me live

I Got Nothing

Carl Joseph Roberts
Just a poem, not how I fee at alll.  Just how I think others feel.

Beautiful silhouettes of palm trees
On a silhouetted cliff
Overlooking the beautiful sunset
With the silhouettes of stars
Appearing in the silhouetted sky
Where the silhouette of a moon
Appears to lighten up
This silhouetted night
A little silhouetted cabin
Sits on a silhouetted island
Brightening up
My silhouetted forever

*~Marian~
Hope you enjoy!!! :) ~<3

You can tell me all you want
that this is really my life,
that I was blessed with such wonderful people
that I would defend to the death,
you can tell me all you want but I will
still find it hard to believe.

I promise you it has nothing to do with the fame,
nothing to do with the spotlights,
nothing to do with the names.

You can tell me this is my life,
but I will always be in this fog,
because if it were all for the fame would
I care to see their true colors? No matter how
dark they may become? Because I find it beautiful,
raw, and I don't think that would come with a self-centered
fame *****.

Yes, I want to change the world.
No, I don't need any form of fame.

You can tell me the rest of my life
that this is my actual reality,
but I will always say that it is too good to be true.
I love you and everyone you have brought into my life. Never give up on your dreams, your clothes, your life. Tell Stef xo from me. Hugs and kisses.

You look at her and think about how she always stares at you with the same eyes
Like she knows something that you don't
Maybe even something you will never know
She has the kind of smile that says
"You don't know me
And you never will"
And it drives you crazy
Makes you feel like squeezing the sides of your head so tight
It eventually snaps under the pressure and evaporates
Into the air surrounding it
Soaring through the physical universe
Until it becomes another entity
So you have no other choice than to love her
How could you not?
But maybe she is just one of those things that looks so sweet and desirable
Until you have it
And you're stuck wondering
Why did I ever want this as much as I did
One of those things where the build up is intense and captivating and you fall in love with the chase until you're let down once you finally get there
But she is too much right now
Much too enticing
Much too alluring
And the thought of having her
Might mean knowing her deepest parts
And keeps you latched on
The mere thought of having her all to yourself
To think if she loved you as much as you love her!
It's addicting
It is too much
And you can't stop
And you can't pull away
And it hurts a little more each day
Because more and more
You feel her pulling away

She is one of those people who lets you get close to her
But ends up hurting you as she tears herself completely off of you
For she always has to disappear
Fade away
And she might reappear
But it will never be the same
And you will never be the same
And she will always be there
Slowly
But surely
Poking away in your mind
Until her memory is hard ingrained into its walls
And you can never forget her
Not even if you tried

hkr
they call it depersonalization
dee-person-nile-zaytion
and it means i did the impossible:
found the switch to turn
everything off
so i can do what feels good
and stay away from what feels bad
and never have any real feelings
about any of it

at all.
when i think of you
i'm not sure i want to be
cured.

It's obvious
It's so desperate to be near you that it has literally become part of you
It has found a way to sneak through and melt into you
And I'm jealous
Because I'm desperate to be near you
I worship your skin as the salt does
Your hair as the sunlight does
Your eyes as the laughter does
But I fear you may notice if I endeavor to be with you in every sense of the word
So I will continue to brood
In partial silence
Forever envious of the salt and sunlight and laughter
