Life
that k Oct 2013
it's time to get my act together
I need to get out from under the weather
I find that I'm alone
Facing this world all on my own

I don't know who I am
I've been breaking away from my fam.
I feel like a fly on the wall
being there but missing it all

I try to let down this outer shell
Who I truly am no one can tell
Trying to be great has a big cost
And through it all I seem to be lost

My "friend" calls me weird
And that had been the one thing I feared
All I am is heavily broken
Each day becoming more outspoken
I wrote this in junior high, the first real poem I had ever written. It showed me that I had talent and that I could maybe be a writer, I realized that I actually liked writing and I had a very supportive teacher who showed me that I could.  It was about the time that the spot I'm in right now started. It marks a chapter of my life that I have not yet finished, and it is still relevant. This will always be an important composition of mine. Enjoy :)

I dare you
that k Oct 2013
I dare you to stand outside my window
I dare you told hold me and never let go
I dare you to sneak out in the middle of the night
I dare you to make all these messed up things right
I dare you to give us a chance
I dare you to ask me to dance
I dare you to get to know me
I dare you to call us a we
I dare you to act like we did when we here kids
I dare you to bring out all the things I hid
I dare you to find out the thoughts of my soul
I dare you to give me your coat when I'm cold
I dare you to beguile her
I dare you to tell her what we were
I dare you to talk to me; say those hidden words
I dare you to make all this pain feel like a blur
I dare you to love me with all your heart
I dare you to make this fire start
Boy lost in translation, he's with her now. I'll get him back. Hearts attached but pulled apart.

— The End —
