Life is not a game
Life is not always the same
Life is not easy
Life is not complete without pain

However...

I've seen people play
I've seen people change
I've seen people strive
I've seen people come alive

But only to in the end to take the same 6ft dive...
We only leave our names on stones and legacies behind for others to continue where our own paths left off...

Im not sure how much I like it here
The lights strung along these walls are more like little blazing suns
and my eyes are unable to adjust to any of them.
The overwhelming taste of frosting makes my nose itch and
I want to go home.
But I cant, because I was brought here and thrown out of hiding.
Like a dog with it's tail beneath his legs I smiled, grinned really, I was grinning like I had gold between my teeth.
And they laughed their fee-fi-fo-fum laugh and I tried to laugh back but,
You know how it goes?
Giants always seem to ****** your breath away.
Maybe its their smell.
In my head I rehearse
Where's the bathroom?
Where's the bathroom?
But in reality I mean
"How do you exit this castle, and are you sure there's no crocodiles in that mote?"
Besides, If you can count the years of my life with candles on a cake then I haven't lived long enough to die here.
And what happens when I blow them all out?
The smoke is giving me a headache, and I can now feel the wrinkles cracking above my flushed cheeks.
Please save me from this fortress of fumblers because
I want to go home.

he's mine.
he always will be
no matter what
even if we're both married to different people
and do different things in our lives
he'll always be mine.

His lips are so soft and he doesn't have a taste
He is pure temptation & I am intrigued
I said "Other people are not medicine"
But he's like a cough syrup you never want to stop taking
And his hands are like bandages to my raw battle wounds
He cannot heal me
He cannot save me
But he can numb my pain
So today I kissed him & I know it was wrong. I felt how wrong it was in my bones, but I let go and I didn't care about consequences & I just kissed him. We kissed and it was nice. We kissed with the sun setting in the background and it was perfect. It was perfect but it was with the wrong person.

Step it up
Step it up to the bars
Break through so I dont break down
Quit asking how long it will take
Start paying attention to the steps as you escape now
That dungeon
Lonely cerebellum
Celebrity status dwelling
Inhaling stale stagnant smoke
A magnetizing choke
As the **** ties tantric knots iside your throat
Thoughts float from the dark
Poke and **** the slot to the key of happiness

Do I regress?*
If I regret my next step
Or do I stay in the night
Crying I wished I'd try
Into a broken mic
Downtrodden eyes
Staring at a life with my body nothing but a reason to build a shadow behind a hollow object

No.
There is a force inside of me
A silent tide in me
Feeding a violent seed
Raising a timeless tree
Etchings proclaiming I'm poetry
Lasting forever
Engrained internally
The grains absorbing the light
The limbs moving towards
The beautiful afternoon rays

You made me happier
Than I've made myself.

Would you have loved if the road was clear
And the end was near
Would you have loved me if not for my flaws and arrogance
Wyould you have loved me if not for my angry jumping pupils
Would you loved me if not for everything i say
Even in my nonsense years
Would you have me flawless and perfect
It is my flaws that drives you mad
And keeps me sane
In love

When you live long enough. When you have encompassed the world.
You will start learning that it's not you, who makes up yourself.

But a sum of everything around you.
Kurt LaVacque Sep 2014
I stress sometimes 
For the dreams Ive missed or left behind, 
The fine line of reality, and or individuality
Never have I ever severed the bridge that binds us together
But you have
My breath, heavily resting upon, her breast
Underlining her eyes, beyond the unseen sky
I wept only for your hands
Intertwined in the time we’ve wasted
Satiated with love and in all the wrong places
She will be loved more than ever
I wept only for her lips
I miss more than just the kisses, she would give
Tapering my heart to a shallow bliss
No longer will I hold you, In my arms I have none

"There's a mark on the calendar of dooms day for everyone. It may happen at different times but it still comes."

He smiled a troubled one. A smile that didnt quit reach his eyes. I didn't know what he meant but He kept inching closer and closer to the edge of the cliff and my nerves were far from calm.

"Get away from the edge,  You'll fall and probably die!"

My heart literally felt like it was going to fall out of my chest. I couldn't move or grab him because both of us were going to fall. But maybe that was a risk I was willing to take. He looked back at me Carelessly,

"I don't want you to die!" I cried out.

"At one point everybody dies silly, I'm just choosing to die now"
Btw- this is not a poem, it's a scene in a story I'm writing on a website called 'Wattpad'.
