Oz
So let me set **** straight
And try to illuminate
The essence of beginning
That you culminate
Nice guy?
Terminate
Erradicate
Attempt to dictate
With no knowledge of my state
At any rate
Sweetheart
You're nothing but a game
That thinks it can play
But hey
Sometimes
Deep down we find
Walking that straight line
Is getting a little crooked
Project your actions on to me
Because that's what I'm meant to be
I'm an example of who not to be
What not to see
Take the key
And open your mind
This world spins faster and faster
Hurling toward disaster

You think you hurt me
But you're just an after thought
You think you're pristine
But you're not.
My heart beats
With one girl in mind
And she isn't you
You look on me with disdain
While I smile
And rhyme away my pain

You had a friend in me
But now you've blown it
You think you know me
But you don't know ****

My temper was even

But

No more Mr. nice Steven
Steven Forrester May 2016
Trying to race my mind
It usually wins
My pain comes alive
And so it begins

I'm thinking
Wanna be drinking
Sinking
With an inkling
Of what comes next
I'm flying
And dying
Don't like me?
*******
You're lying
So keep trying
To produce that copious shade

I'm frustrated
Recreated
Into the fray
I'll navigate it
Swipe here
A slash there
I'll gravitate
****
A wink here
The charm there
I radiate it
I always get what I want
Can't negotiate it

I want to live my life
Like the ones in the movies
And I start to think
My life's a parody
Of a tragedy
Deepening my grief

But I'm still alive...

It's a small world
This i know
Its a small world
Where should we go
The earth is spinning
Let it go
Faster we're sinning
How can we grow
The stone is rolling
This is so
No moss expanding
But the river flows
Mountainous peaks above
With valleys down below
Life lingers listlessly
Lamenting in a hollow
Violence in baltimore
A hard pill to swallow
****** of innocents
Loss of innocence
The thunder rolls
A monsoon of mayhem
Malicious and malcontent
Answer this question
Is it worth our sacrament?
You never know who you'll meet
When you jump
Or just plain fall
Because its a small world
After all

The mother of my child
Is the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on
I may not deserve her
But I do have her
Through all the bad I've done
I still feel as if I've won
Some cosmic contest
Of collaborative conquest
But i digress
Should you find
A love like mine
That freezes time
For you
Don't dilly
Or dally
I'm being silly
Life in this valley
Seems livable
When I look at her face
Listen to her voice
Everything is choice
I know it's sappy
And you probably cant stand this
But I just have to say
I love you Candice

Life is tricky
Full of intricacy
If you look at history
It says it best
Love is dangerous
More lethal
Than mustard gas
Utterly noxious
My heart is fractured
Like bone
Rather than muscle
Unsung is my song
My story untold
In the shimmering light
My madness unfolds
I need rest
When did this thing...
Become such a test
My back is breaking
Under the stress
I fight
To no avail
I feel my brain
Becoming a train
Inevitably derailed

Where can start
With an Apollo heart
Where can I run
When chased by the moon and sun
An infinite race
With an Adonis face
A quick pace
In the presence of grace
Like Zeus I am powerful
Like Hades so sorrowful
With the temper of Aries
And as quick a wit as Hermes
I have an appetite so ravenous
Like kronos
And just as Dionysus
My parties are rapturous
So I find it difficult
Despite my piety
I believe I've failed
In finding one single
Equivalent diety
In reference to "the hellopoetry pantheon" (in which I was not included)
Steven Forrester Dec 2013
I'm feeling hyphy
Like I might see
Inside a mirror
To the real me
The free me
Try test me
And you'll see
The mad me
The bad me
Hand me
My drink please
I think its time
to get tipsy
Maybe even flipsy
Your life is swimming
In a **** sea
You don't know ****
See
People wanna beat me
Or be me
Fifty-fifty
So I dry heave
Whenever I think
About
The liars
The haters
The fakers
And takers
Living life like paper
So taper
The **** down
Spin around
We're all bound
By this sound
So lets go down
Light up this town
And paint it red
Remember what I said
You can't be me
You can't beat me
'cause I wanna be
