I can be there, where you are
Where the right things
Are
Wrong
Where the silence lasts
To
Long
Where the light
Is
Dark
How you always miss
Your
Mark

I can be there
Always cattering to my ego
Refusing to
Let
Go
Harboring anger, keeping my loved one's
In
Danger
Giving all my attention to
A
Stranger
Only thinking of myself, and leaving you
By
Yourself
I can be there, where you are
Only doing me, and leaving
You
Be
Keeping you at bay, while
I
Stray
Keeping everything on the down low
And watch you
Drown
Below
I can be there
Sitting tall and proud, on cloud nine
Not caring if
Your mine
Living in righteousness and fame
Kmowing you will always lose at
My
Game
I can be there, where you are
Smug and crude
Always acting
Rude
Callous and cold
And strike you down when your
Fed up
And
Bold
Walk out like I don't care
And don't give a **** the pain you have
To bare

I can be there, where you are
The girl in school
Who I think on
            often
    I write her poems
                 hardback textbook
        In between paragraphs
                     I lick my finger
turning the page
If I could only tell you
How the secret pencil marks I leave
                   Make me want to scream
She smells so boss
           Like grape bubblegum
                  
I Wrote her tonight
              Slipped the folded note   into her  pocket
        
My heart skips
         As she sits in Economics
Paper cut red
When she found and read
                   The wide rule page
Need: to feel to love to care to give to take
Want: to feel to love to care to give to take
Have: to feel to love to care to give to take
Gone: no feeling no love no caring no giving no taking
you see, my heart is literally breaking.
Love just plain is not real. It's NOT.
Sad :(
He tells me,
He has never seen a sadness
So calm.
He has never tasted a sweet
So bitter.

*Beautiful isn't it.
In dying trees I see rebirth
In a loser I see one who can finish first
In places I've never been
I see places I can get to know
Unknown chapters
Is where my optimism wants to go.

Is it too much
To appreciate the unappreciated
To hold the un-held
To replace pain with love  
And succeed with all cards dealt

I hold dear,
to things too small to see
I believe,
in things too strange to conceive

I place my hands around wounds to heal,
I simply feel for those who cannot feel.

I undergo the struggles within every soul
If only it lead them to their biggest goal

I make the rules to use this plan
I just might be an Optimistic Man
