A Question, Mr. President
Steven Forrester May 2017
Are we dead?
Is this life?
Is it just in my head?
All this strife
All this hate
When the white house
Is the kremlin
Are any of us safe?
It is evident
That our president
Is failing
It is obvious
That he's oblivious
To how obnoxious
He really is
Can we remain
The same
Underneath
This giant name
Who plays our country
Like a game
Bringing on this heavy rain
Every day my mind is strained
Our international face so often stained

But wait you say
Let your anger stay
Let it drift away

Give him a chance

Wait no another

Wait no one more

How long do we have to wait?

How many chances does it take

Until our patience breaks....

A Memory of Me
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Hopeless
Fearless
Useless
And restless
My life is drift wood
Floating silently
Down the river of life
My sliver of strife
Seems silver on sight
Many say I am demented
The right ones see
They see the core of me
I remain tormented
And then I disappear
Instantly
Nothing more than a memory

But I'm Getting There....
Steven Forrester Jan 2018
Thump thump
Bump bump
My head is ******* me up
Take this life
Leave it in dust
Trust
This fear
This anxiety
Got me losing touch
With reality
Ring ring
Swing swing
Wanna know something?
Ask me
Im tired
But inspired
I keep reaching higher
But im too ******* short
Living life against the grain
The sweet **** so seductively smooth
But the pain
The pain is oh so coarse
But i keeping falling into that same gravity
That driving force
Take me away
I scream to the sky
Scarred and scared
Solemnly suited
For silent slumber
Rife with strife
I find my life
Is not where i want it to be

"But im getting there ......."

Life is Confusing
Steven Forrester May 2018
A bleeding heart
With a beating mind
Right from the start
Its hard to find
I keep on searching
Am i ******* blind?
Love me
Or hate me
We're out of time
We're out of place
Quicken pace
Stuck in this race
Theres nothing left
Inside this space
You knock me down
Spit in my face
You hate me now
But i love the taste
My depression dealt
In determination
A detriment
To my salvation
Caught in a loop
Of desperation
Take my breath
My respiration
Im not looking for revenge
Or reparation
My mind is muddled
Mysteriously moving
Marveled by mild
Meticulation
I see you shudder
With anticipation

Life is confusing.......

Lifeless
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Mindless hypocracy
In limited democracy
A feeling of urgency
Judging all that we can see
Pain is a fallacy
And a fantasy
Erratically
We scream
In agony
Inside
I find
I can't deny
Why
I find myself being tortured
Becoming
Mindless
Without a thought
Sightless
In all I've got
Flightless
And weak
At the end I come to realize
I'm lifeless

Broken Mirrors
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
My heart is a mirror
Shattered like glass
I look into my past
and feel the pain
of my life and times
Lost all in one day
Those voices are stirring
My veins are all burning
My muse is gone
My fuse lit
I sing this song
And here i sit
Wondering what if i could change my actions
To cure this fatal attraction
To freeze the motion of this reaction
Decisions
Death
Illusions
No breath
Confusion
Ahead
My vision
Of my corpse lifeless and dead
My heart is a mirror
In which i see my true self
A loneley pathetic man
Who stands alone and grand
Where ocean meets sand
I stare into the glass
Trying to forget my past
Yet i find myself back where i started
Inside this shattered mirror
Of the broken hearted
