At first it was completely smooth
Absolutely without a groove
No holes, or nicks, or even dents
With just unscalable segments
This wall was large, sturdy, and strong
Keeping out half of everyone
It had been aged by all of time
Soon, it’s about to break the rhyme
Holes have begun to take form
Not by ice, water, wind, or storm
But by the people left outside
That have been locked away to hide
The brick is now crumbling
And the concrete blocks are tumbling
Handholds continue to show
The holes will continue to grow
Openings are more clear
Even to those on the wall’s rear
Soon, she will start to climb
And end the wall’s horrible crime
So with superhero strength
Along with her ranks
She is climbing up the brick wall
That will bring it to downfall
As she ascends
She starts to see the concrete ends
That have kept her family out
To seek life’s other route
As she reaches the top
The wall’s other people stop
Offer out a hand
So that she can stand
However, lots are still not up
They need to be brought up
They do not have her strength
They can not scale the wall’s length
So the wall must come down
And so everyone from town
Begins to chip away
So the wall won’t stay
It’s a lot of work
That continues to irk
But there are only boulders left
A good kind of theft
Of course there are some I didn’t talk about
That want the wall to continue to sprout
But they lack the power
They had on their tower
And so, the end is close
But there’s more work for those
Who try to make it small
So that she can climb the wall

They took him too early
Leaving us less burly
Leaving us on our own
Feeling too much, alone
It’s the hardest when they are young
It makes the party go unsung
A piece of everybody is gone
Making it too hard to move on
You wish you could have more time
To spend with what was once “mine”
But now he is far away
Cause you could not make him stay
But with any loss
A heavy point comes across
All deaths will come too young
Leaving your life unsung
Enjoy all life while you can
Do not be that type of man
Enjoy them while they are here
When they’re gone, they’re still your dear
Do not shy away
Cause they cannot forever stay
As much as you hope and pray
They could be taken today
They took him too early
Leaving us less burly
Leaving us together
To love and remember

Of course I will help you
That's what I like to do
Just don't leave afterwards
And make these your last words
I will try my best to support you
With whatever I can do
But please just don't take this for granted
Don't make this friendship slanted
There is nothing I won't do for you
But will you do these things for me too?
I do not want to be used
I won't hurt but will be bruised
So I guess I will say it
I can no longer take it
I have simply had enough
I cannot handle your stuff
You've used me as a pillow
I've turned into a grey willow
Cause you never stood me tall
I am always at a fall
Of course I had helped you
It's what people should do
But now, I'm lugging this heft
Cause I was the one who left

The steps of the pyramid continue to rise
The track is gaining and gaining just for my demise
When I first started, I did not know its great size
On top, I'm not sure if there even is a prize
Yet I will continue marching up these steps
There's a long way up but a long way back
And the big boulders continue to stack
My whole world I have with me in my pack
And so strength is something I do not lack
And I will continue up these steps
I have lost my touch of the ground
Yet I know my feet should pound
I know I cannot turn around
Or I will let everyone down
So I will march up these steps
I've slowed, but I'm still fast
Cause I know I will last
Yet the steps are still cast
And half my life has passed
But I will march up
Cause I've got this
Life I can't miss
I can't dismiss
Zenith and bliss
For I will

This is all
I
Will just fall
I
Can't take it
I
Will break it
There is too much pressure
I'm
Feeling under weather
I'm
Now trailing
I'm
Just failing
I can't even exhale
It's
Just inhale
It's
All too wrong
It's
Much too long
Too much is going on
The path
It is gone
The wrath
It's all brawn
Blood bath
Is now drawn
It is too much
I
Have lost my touch
I
Can't tell what's real
I
Am rusted steel
Everything is just hard
Life
Throws these cards
Life
Is the game
Life
Brings the shame
Yet I can work it out
I'm
With low doubt
I'll
Go longer
I'll
Be stronger

I love it
Yes
I love it all
Yes!
My life is complete
When I can spend all my time with it
A treat
When we're never with split
It is my power
It is mine
No one can rob me
It had the roots of an old tree
It will be with me for all of time
All of my friends will agree
It's true I have thought about others
Just brothers
Mothers
No lovers
I will only have one true love
None are above
Or will even come close
This shows
What numbers can compose
All adding up
I've grown up
The stats show
What I think I already know
Life fulfilled
I'm thrilled
And nothing left to subtract
These are words I will never retract
It is my hero
Zero
It's math
I want to enjoy my passion
Fill my life with its distraction

I do not want to see the light
I do not think it is that bright
Cause I think this world is finite
People expect me to believe
But I simply cannot conceive
This golden place I must achieve
People say it will set me free
"But I must learn so I can see"
But I say "I do not agree"
My whole life I have shied away
And the bright light has died away
And those thoughts are aside away
I guess I kind of like the dark
I have fled away in my ark
This gray path is my trademark
I have this first Amendment right
Where I am never dressed in white
I do not want to see the light

Please just walk away
He doesn't want you to stay
That golden look
Highlights your undying smirk
Please don't stay long
You know he isn't that strong
Just your presence
Will rob him his weak pleasence
Watch what you say
He goes to bed during day
Not to sleep, but to think
Not to weep, but on the brink
Please don't say that
Is it cool to call him fat?
Want him to cry
While your mind is up there high?
Please, not okay
When you make him feel that way
That is enough
He will never be that tough
Watch what you do
Not everyone can be you
He has a life
Let it not end with a knife
Please do not play
Your the lion with your prey
Please let him live
I do not want him to die

What should I believe?
How should I perceive?
How should I receive
the ones who deceive?
Both sides like to lie
Where I am the "Bad Guy"
And no one turns an eye
To when bad ones pass by
How can I tell what is true?
Also, what else can I do?
So many thoughts are askew
Please, will there be a breakthrough?
There are too many opposing sides
With these concrete, airy divides
Where the lies need not any guides
And where the devil comes and hides
It has been like this for all of time
Where generations study and mime
Where these acts of maleficence climb
Is there no end to this heinous crime?
My hope is that they will say what is real
When a lie is told, it is a big deal
That they should not stand around, they should kneel
But this is just what I think is ideal
For I just want the wheels to start to spin
And in this long battle, truth will come to win
And the slimy serpent snake will shed its skin
Show off its beauty that was hiding within
I hope I have made my point incredibly clear
And that I have helped you conquer this scary fear
To help yourself, your family, your friends, your dear
To take the great leap onto this empty frontier

I was born different
I believe in science
Yet is it defiance?
Some call it angst
I say it’s strength
You can be different
Your parents can have opinions
Yes you’ve lived in their dominion
But you can do what you want
Don’t let them give you a haunt
I can have a distinct thought
Because I am not their bot
Religion, career, goals
Afterlife, love, friends, souls
I am strong in the way I speak
I am proud that I am unique
No one can put words in my mouth
For example, North, West, East, South
I can make this a short poem
I can make the rhyme scheme open
I can make stanzas parallel
Or make this syllable swell
Or this poem could be longer
Making my words even stronger
This poem has no distinct sound
But isn’t that what makes it pound
Five, five, four, four, four, four
Maybe this stanza will have even more
Is it wrong to take from myself?
Stealing straight from my bookshelf
“Got to think, got to focus”
“Or my life will go unnoticed”
I think it is mostly alright
It’s fine if I take what I write
So what is this poem’s message?
It seems pulled out of a wreckage
Words mismatched, lines have been detached
The focus scratched, but the theme patched?
Here it is
Was no quiz
It can be hard
Life can be scarred
Yes, you were born rare
Show it if you dare

It’s not okay
Cause nothing can repay
What he took from you on that day
Don’t take that loss
Get your point across, cause
Sometimes you have to be the boss
He did the wrong
Yes, the fight might take long
But I know you will win, you’re strong
The world can take
What great things you can make
But now everything is at stake
Leave the backseat
Because you are not weak
Take what is yours, it is unique
It’s not okay
Cause nothing can repay
What he took from you on that day

Some people think I like to eat tomatoes
They say I like all the fruits--that there is true
But to those red shiny fruits--I will always give "no's"
Just a few decades ago, it seemed odd
Everyone stuck with their meats, dairies, and wheats
But the times have changed, enemies abroad, everyone eating the food of their god
I would like to make it clear right now
I love those who eat these with their peas
I have dreamed of the round, vibrant skin--giving out a wow
I would never want to offend
Only to give my love to thereof
And I will promise to always give them a lend, to be their friend
To all those people like me
Who won't eat any veggie
Thank those today with a word of okay so their lives aren't so heavy

Both parties align on either side of the bridge
Now they inch to the center to meet face to face
If they fall, there's a tall, 200 foot ridge
Once they reach the middle, they gain back their haste
They're now yelling, not pleading--like a clown
Wanting what they want, "All else is a waste"
People on the edge yell, "shoot 'em down"
"This is 'Merica! We don't want em"
"Burn this bridge down and let them drown"
A couple screams--Ken and Karen
And one from the crowd steps on
Few will let him be condemned
He says he has a vision
"It's a new kind of bridge"
Holds knife there upon
Not looking, unhinged
Not looking, bows
Rights are infringed
It is now
going
down

I saw a young man die
And I tried not to cry
But that look in his eye
We couldn’t say goodbye
I saw a white woman scream
Of her BLM dream
With a black and white team
Now just running on steam
I saw a strong man kneel
Then they forced him to heel
Couldn’t feel his ideal
Oh now watch them reel
I used to do nothing
Neither huffing, nor puffing, or even discussing
But that there is wrong
It is doing such harm
For being neutral
Is giving the world very, very little

You can speak
It’s alright
You’re not weak
Have no fright
Be joyful
Be proud
Be loyal
Be unbowed
For this is your life
Make it amazing
Forget any strife
Trails-a-blazing
It’s alright to be quiet
I have certainly tried it
Just find a way to be heard
Fly around you free bird
I don’t like to speak, but love to write
If I could, I would do it all night
Cause I have found my voice by my choice
Now rejoice and make your loudest noise
For this is your life
Make it amazing
Forget any strife
Trails-a-blazing
And there should be no pressure
Sometimes your under-weather
Just follow this short advice
Go right now, take back your life
I hope this has helped
You and all yourself
This is my poem
Maybe write your own

How do you know her?
What has she done?
Do you infer,
There is something you have won?
Why do you speak that way?
What did she say?
Trying to be seen,
Do you think it is fun?
What is that look?
Like she is a book?
She’s just eighteen,
And you will have none
Just because you’re older
Maybe even bolder
Does not mean
You can call her your Eileen
Change with the times
Do not lag behind
Know that nothing is easy
Otherwise, you make people uneasy

Would I be friends with myself?
Would it help my mental health?
Would he see me over there?
And give me some of his care?
Or leave like most often else?
Would he like the way I act
When I’m with my friends intact?
Would he see straight right through me
Extremely very quickly?
I give no eye contact, fact
Would he see I try too hard?
When thing are good, I discard
Would he think then it is weak
That I’m never at my peak?
Or would he mend my great shard
Would he catch me if I hide?
Even if there was no guide?
Would he know the words to say
When I do not want to play?
Or just walk and keep his pride?
Would I be friends with myself?
Would it help his mental health?
Would I know the thing to do
If his mind was turning blue?
Would I help him if he’s down?
Would I change his life around?
Or would I leave him alone
If he wants to be at home?
Would I let him win the game?
Or let Ego get the fame?
Would I take a stand against?
Or would I sit on the fence?
Would I help if he buckles?
Help him with all his troubles?
Or would I let him fall down
Cause the ego on my crown?
Would I be my classic self
As if I am with no one else?
Or would I fake my whole life
As I have done my whole life?
