You've reached the botton of the barrel now just scraping for luck
Walking around hoping for someone to give a....****..
Digging for smiles but all the wrong ones
Hiding the sorrows from the world you've created
Why hide and keep living life so jaded?
Too easy to fall into a cliche but serious despair
I tried to tell you from the jump, I can and will always be there

Take my heart I'll take your pain
shall you remain in this mundane
Our love moving on a separate axis
Tilt the poles in our favor
For love to once again be savored

A fool could see this from a mile away
Still I let you get close
Your love, like espionage for future endeavors
For me to give out all my love to have it scattered across the walls you built up to keep me out
Still I was outside your solitude of isolation
My fair Juliet, misjudged and ruthless, how I like it
Blinded by mistreatment, I want what's bad for me
Like sugar to your teeth so sweet but risky
I'd fight to suffer the slings and arrows of as they say misfortune with you could never come my way..

No one said anything about sticks and stones

I've worn 1000 different shoes that never fit me
Millions of things I could possibly be
Since the 7th grade I said "I'll be a writer!"
At that moment I my future seemed brighter
I wrote about love and my passion was fire
Never thought I'd be a lover and a fighter  
They told me the sky's the limit and to break the mold
What I'm writing is the story yet to be told
7th grade about 12 or 13 years old I remember
I wrote my first poem in December
My mind and drive never waivered in the years to come
Writing for me was always fun
Dreams that these words would surpass the rays of the sun
The sky's the limit while there's endless room in space
That will give me time and room to chase
The American dream ooo I wanted a taste
First I have to sweep the entire nation
So I started with a pen, pad, and some inspiration
I kept on writing believe I never slowed down
My dreams are not here in my home town
I joined the army when I was 18
You guessed it, in the pursuit of MY American dream
They said the army might make me colder
But as I grew older my mind body and soul grew bolder
Writing became my art even when it seemed
I'd be having more nightmares than dreams
Surrounded by strangers who have never heard of me
I always said what better of a place to be?
To spread my dream with the people I now call family
I would share with them writing, a piece of me for where ever they go
People from all walks of life reading my words all reacting with "woah"
Was the moment I knew MY dream will grow

My love can't be bought, it's priceless
Like the love we think we all deserve
Our happiness seems more like our attention span
Abruptly sidetracked by the power of instant satisfaction
Has any of our new generation experienced love without technology as an aid?
Do we lose hope more easily than conjure some up?
Let me ask you if time was a commodity, would you spend it with me?

You're dead longer than you are alive
Which serves a better purpose?
Insane it might seem but imagine
Like a world with magic and dragons
The impossible on the "other side"
Waiting for out truly vacant imaginations
To store the over flow of what cannot be seen
And continue creating the unthinkable

I was dead the whole time
I watched your life and mine
Couldn't believe it, I thought I was fine
Being happy, considered a crime
"It'll be okay" I'd always chime
Thinking I'm finally in my prime
I can't believe this sour rhyme
Unripe and unpleasant green lime
Silent now my thoughts fade away, mime

I fantasize about you unable to decipher wants from needs

Hello, a simple gesture
Nearly impossible to be friendly without assumption now a days
In a world of paradigms of the opposite *** and this go go go and instant satisfaction induced generation I'd welcome this dissolution from the world we live in today just to taste what reality was meant to be like

Every thing is better when I'm not around
A vice to keep you on the ground
A so called friend needed at a moments notice
In the long run what's the point of all this
Recognize the words of comfort
Say it again to keep me sure
My intentions were good but the time is all wrong
When you come singing that tune
I'll say it's the wrong song

Competing with smiles
All thirty-two contestants
Faceless deception

I took a break to clear my head
But instead
It's only filled with more ideas and passion
It's like my most popular attraction
Is causing a reaction that chains me to write
This is positive because I just might
Have better  ideas in the future to come
So many times I've wanted to write what I thought and just ended up holding my tongue
Because I'm now refined and I promise im fine
Just needed a little time to resonate this rhyme I hope ya'll are still with me

Overlooked as if too good
Too sweet causing cavities
Borrowing glances never getting them back
holding hands, loose, and even lonelier
All you wanted to do was be happy
Chances don't exist for opportunity is everything

Hearts beat for so long
Only when they forget how to
Love has gone missing

They told me nice guys finish last
It's must be true
Can't find the starting line to find my way to you
You dont seem to mind it's almost sick
I often wonder what makes you tic
Mind games like board games call it sorry
Apologizing but doing it anyway but are we?
Sorry...not sorry

Life will drag you along even when you're standing still
A ghost writer told me to take one step and watch
Not life but the waves of the living take you and carry you as your next step
Be cautious of your actions for I have seen it all
Love turn to chaos and turmoil build up within the gentlest of creatures
I am the evil that can be within
But with the life givin and strength provided I give your to wake remember this
The truth is life will go on without you but will you go on without it?

I am an American Soldier
I face challenges less than 1% of the world faces
Courageous, fit to fight, ready to go.
Guns and war are not the only thing we do you know
We learn and progress to better ourselves
To protect those who cannot protect themselves
Not saying they are weak but have other intentions
Freedom is no easily earned but evenly distributed
I am an American soldier and I will fight until I'm DEAD

Hot, like a mirage in the desert
Got me seeing what I want
A soul so warming and nice  
Visions of oasis making me look twice
A splash of water to the face
a refreshing way to clear the space
Between you and I where we lie
To take a step would I pay the price?
Visions of oasis making me look twice

Clouded judgement
Rash behavior
Love be thy name
My heart and savior
Awkward Silence

In the name of LOVE
We do sing
Our words will reach them
Our thoughts will ring
Back in forth do we ponder
Obsessed with LOVE
But for how much longer?

When we hold hands I always keep a tight grip
With in the back of my mind thinking you might dip
I know you wouldn't leave me but that keeps me trying
I love you and I'd be lying
If I said anything else
My love for you is never on a shelf
I take a chapter a day with you and write it down
Our story to be told
Not if but when we're old
And I mean together
And my together is forever
I hope yours is too
I can assume but never speak for you
Except when we have to decide on food
Something about that question you seem to elude
But that's okay my dear there's nothing to fear
So long as you're here
With me
I'll always know what WE want to eat

It's time again it's that Onomatopoeia
Is it a verse is it fire a spicy meatball mama Mia!
Mario warped in those pipes couldn't see ya
Wouldn't wanna be ya look at my sneaker
Nike do it like me I ****** what I want I do t fear ya
Taking it all like I was on my billy and Mandy grim reaper

To love and not be loved that is deception
Wether tis harsher in mind to deceit
Or suffer for someone else's sake
And to hold another down while you're walking 2 steps ahead and try two to the rear
To get away with disrespect and falsehood
Kick someone while your down till you find the next best thing

Getcha fruit on like the color orange
Murderer up inside the house listen for that door hinge
Running scared for your life too close that's that four inch
Mama bear papa too even te little one slurp that porridge

Could I just be a cancer? Just waiting to strike
Taking the ones down with me that would have been Better off
I've not leeched but corrupted them
A process charm and wit can fix but does the opposite
I want your happiness, bottled up
For me to drink out of your decision cup
It's too easy stay far but near
Better off to not see me here...ever?

In the corridors of my mind, I dwell in shadows of fear,
Bound by chains of indecision, moves I dare not steer.
Yearning for paths untrodden, yet fate holds me in its grasp,
Time slips through my fingers, a relentless, fleeting clasp.

Once master of my moments, now a pawn in life's cruel game,
Each wasted breath a currency, spent without acclaim.
No riches to amass, only burdens to stack high,
Ninety-nine unseen troubles, hidden from the naked eye.

Remember when we used to pass notes in class as if what ever shenanigans couldn't wait? Those are the times that I miss when we all wanted to be connected at times
A quick toss of a folded up piece of paper across the room
I hope the teacher didn't see
But now theres no more challenge once phones hit the schools it's just another way for the future to break the rules

Call me old fashioned, typical let it burn in the rain
We keep on doing these same things that causes us pain
Some call it insane others play the game
We all play in different ranges
The fact of the matter is we're all going through changes
Style, diets, and social media
This is the type of crazy they've been feedin ya
So when they tell you everyone changes it's TRUE
In the end the only thing that matters will be YOU

My heart lies on the other side of the world
Though I've never been I can only assume it's amazing
The fact that love can reach anywhere is over my head
Concepts of beauty and understanding we all have them
Some differ from others but we all need love
A picture is not only worth a thousands words
It's also worth a thousand feelings
Sad happy just to show
My heart captivated by an 8x8
And I want the world to know

What is a world without being judged?
Without competition or criticizing?
A world where there is no room for improvement
Everything is set in stone, not perfect just you take what you get and deal with it
Where there is no place to showcase your true potential?
No rhyme or reason to try
Less amazing things happen, maybe even nothing spectacular going on
A place doomed for rebellion, implosion
A stack of cards with no foundation, just ready to cave in
A world without love, or feelings
It all dwindles down without one another
One thing could be missing and change it all
And our society would be a soso-ciety

I'm "going hard" no I'm not alone
Ain't found a place yet to call my home
I'm hungry call me an animal
Looking at humans like a cannibal but I ramble though
leave your thoughts jumbled in your cantaloupe
I've lost hope for the past because it our future
Living in a world among leeches and moochers we call them losers, dead beats and abusers
Funny how beggars can't be choosers
But I write to save the world you see
I may not seem phased   by all this gravity
So let me put this weight on you
What can a no name writer do
Write on brother and sisters
The pen is my weapon
Paper that ammunition
Make an impact on a million lives is the mission
So I take shots here and there daring and dizzy
Put my words on this paper could it be that easy?
Sticking to the grind till they miss me

They call me a fiend all I do is dream in the dark
Looking around, nothing to see..where do I start?
A path is it's darkest without a sense of direction
Even more so without proper affection
Life ain't about the golden arches so you don't gotta love it
One day you'll walk in the planes high in the sky above it
Inside and out in me there's nothing to see
Penetrate my soul with a feeling of glee
Could it be, too far in the dark for we to see
Pardon me, but could this be my dark fantasy
No wait, too much on my plate, it's time to share my leftovers
We're in this mess till it's far from over, push over
Make some room, we might as well be good as dead
But with you by my side clarity is the light inside my head

The simplicity
Unable to be bothered
A locked bathroom does wonders

Look of pure deception never able to appease
Cleo Patra drop a man down to his knees
Hand on hand let the feelings rush
A secret desire an temptation keep it on the hush
A vicious cycle no more like history
You to me to you to me
Write it in the books to commemorate your wasted time and effort look at the mess you made
Now watch as you relapse till the memories fade

Everything happens for a reason
Rags to riches stuck in your head busy dreaming
Yeah I know you see them
Choices and actions form your future
All depends on how you perceive them
Money power and intelligence often missed
We get caught up in the dream we forget to create the scheme
Planning, it's harder than a tomorrow do you want to hangout
People are too busy with this "bangout"
They forget what their lives are even about

Tell me how you feel to you is this grass as green
as the life and actions of you go unseen?
Rags to riches far from fictitious
To the victor go the spoils who is more ambitious?

Rags to sheets, packing heat, wondering where you're gonna get the next eat
Cliche, or dangerously true? It's up to you
See it through and tell me what is there to do
Trapped in the hustle when you lose the grind
Instead of making you're doing time
Spare some change fill your cup
On the corner selling your sell like your don't give a...
Well if my words brought you there you're in the right place
Rags to riches ain't for all but don't we all just want a taste?

I can stand the rain
but cant stand some change
I liked how things were
But that way of thinking is worse
in my bag with the opening zipped up
couldn't breathe
not enough room to hiccup
but broken pieces always get picked up
because they have to
cant go on in life being half you
but I'm going nots like cashew
kicked out the fast food
now bad moves
lead me to add to
the things I've yet to change

What's going to happen when you lead and nobody follows?
You say something with no comment or interaction?
Step left and they all go right
Asleep during the day while all those roam under the light
Afraid to be alone yet silence if your friend
Sunglasses at night just to keep from seeing your shadow
Even you know your ways are sinister
Controlling others unable to control ones self
Minds to play with but never yours
Misery loves company and that's why you adore
Living life full with a glass half empty
Is this as happy as we'll ever be?

Life is all about perception we believe in what we see
So come with me randy let's find the remedy
To all this chaos and animosity
Till the day we live laugh love in harmony
Because you see there ain't no harming me
But until they day out reality becomes a fantasy
Well be here on our grind turning money into the air we breathe
Don't deceive because we agree
Life is not always what it seems stay on them dreams the path will show itself
and by the time we die wed discover  happiness is wealth

Our generation keeps saying live free or die young
before their living has even begun
It's hard to understand if I'm doing either at the moment
Seems like every moment I seize tends to freeze now I own it
My life's like muhammad ali with no feet
Just floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee when I speak
Consider what you just heard to be an intro
To me coming as a poet with new flow

Saying a whole lot we'd never do
Like hey man hit me up and come through
Simpler times like we still in high school
When you're an adult it's like there is a common trend
Where we start is most likely where we end
Customer service like have a good day
In the end we just wanna get paid
Weekends turn to stories of how messed up you are
Then novels about how you didn't go far
21 hit the bar instead of raising it
420 still smoking might as well face it
Mind state same color as a nosebleed
Wired mind figuring out what you need
Reapers lurking might as well concede

Like a brand new toy
All is fair in love and war
Loosely holding hands

Things that never happened
Will always be the worse in my book
From the chances never taken
But the ones I should have took
I looked at you and you didn't look back
We started talking but I lost track
Invited you over you have an excuse
I might be holding your hand, but I'm holding it loose
There was a time I'd look at this life like a noose  
Ready to hang it all up just to call it quits
To stay strong I need you to need me
It's the one thing a blind man or woman could see
This whole time you've been like sand in my hand
The harder I try to hold you the more you slip away

It's hard to stay relevant
That's why I'm running low on friends
I leave myself open for them
But really I do it for me
So I can tell myself I matter
But does it really?
Like a jar you need someone else to open
It's always easier the second time around
When you loosen your grip like the cap of the jar
It's easier to see who your friends are
Take it easy you can't be liked by all
"A friend to all is a friend to no one."
Makes sense, you can't be everyone's friend
You have to pick and choose
In the game of life it's win or lose

Look in the water and see your reflection
All the flaws problems and imperfections
Ripple away, ease your troubled mind
Close your eyes to pass the time

Living life in flashbacks with memories on repeat of the times that we could have had just you and me you say that you miss me and want to be closer but anytime I ask you never come over that's okay another day I said and it's been the same forever inside my head
