Me VS. You
Tyler Hutchens Oct 2009
I’ve created this man and I don’t know what to do.
He’s changed what people think and that’s including you.
He is not who I am but yet he is me.
Doesn’t know what to do, doesn’t know what to be.
He does what I do but doesn’t feel how I feel.
Caused a scar in my life he does not know how to heal.
Where did he come from, and why is he here?
What does he live for, and what does he fear?
Even I don’t know and his choice is my choice.
He says things I’d never say, yet he uses my voice.
When I go to sleep it’s me and just me, Tyler.
Then when I wake up he’s back, like someone re-lit the fire.
I just wish he would stop, want him to go away.
Yet no matter what I do he says he’s here to stay.
T.Hutch what are you doing, controlling my lifestyle.
Why do I feel like you’re gonna be here a long while?
But at the same time is this really going on?
Or is it just an excuse because reality isn’t holding on?
Am I two people, or think in two different ways?
Do I have an alter ego that switches on between days?
Someone please help and tell me what’s wrong.
Why is my heart weak, yet when he comes it’s so strong.
One minute I’ll cry the next minute I’m furious.
Is it because I’m switching through people, to find the answer I’m curious.
Taking control of my thoughts, actions, eventually my soul.
Certain areas he controls, but soon he’ll have my life as a whole.
I need to stop him before he goes too far.
Because you cannot let someone else determine who you are.
He says this, yet I think that.
When his heart races, my heartbeat is flat.
Never are we both out, one is always hiding.
Yet sometimes I just don’t know which one of us is deciding.
Who is more dominant, me or him?
Which one of us has last say as the day turns dim?
Will I ever know, or will it even matter?
I need to find out soon, or watch my life just shatter.
The answer will come whether it’s now or in a million years.
I can’t stress it now or my eyes will shed a million tears.
So on this epic battle, of me versus you.
I’m just going to try my hardest, to find out which is true.

Maybe
Tyler Hutchens Oct 2009
Why I never got to say good-bye to my homie
Now I go to sleep feeling that god owe me
People that never do no wrong get the short end of the deal
Why couldn't've Reggie known he would of ate his last meal
I wonder if people really understand the way that I feel
Sitting at home wondering if i'll ever heal
I know other peoples problems are bigger than mine
But I will deal with the hardships over the time
But until then I'ma hold my head up real high
Cause I know there are people watching over me as i look into the sky
But you need to know that for ever tear that's came from my eye
There's been a smile behind it to come right by
When my time on earth comes to an end
That I'll be remembered from family to friend
That no matter what I was there to transcend
So for fallen family, friends and peers
Let them teach us to discard our fears
And live our life to the point of tears
Because your future may be less than years
So listen closely with both ears
And know that when a chance appears
Whether it's through hate or love
You'll overcome and climb above
To see tomorrow bright and shining
And learn that every moment is defining
But then again, but then again
You need to know, that every now and then
There will be some bumps in this rocky road
And then comes times where you'll be slowed
But it's not who you are that defines what you do
So if you say that then think this through
That it's what you do that defines who you are, and that's true

Do it All
Tyler Hutchens Oct 2009
I love everything about me, everything I am

Doesn't matter what I can't do, I love everything I can

I'll show you a real life, so come and take my hand

I'll guide you through the real, and show you all the fake

I'll let you know when it's a dream, and let you know when you're awake

I'll start you at the bottom, and take you to the top

I'll teach you when to jump, and show you when to stop

I'll build an elevator to heaven, and lock the doors that lead to hell

I'll expose all of the lies, when the truth comes I will tell

Because I am one of the greatest, that you will ever see

And I am just one person, that you can NEVER be

When The Time Comes
Tyler Hutchens Oct 2009
Amazing, you are the everlasting definition.
I can look at you over and over, it’s an infatuating repetition.
Your beauty is more addicting than anything I’ve ever seen.
You’re the very best of all the best is what I’m telling you I mean.
You can bring my smile out just by being on my mind.
Some girls come a dime a dozen, but you are one of a kind.
Never change a thing about you; you are just perfect how you are.
In the blackest of the night, you are that single shining star.
On a scale of one to ten, I can say you’re off the chart.
But I’m sure that you have known that ever since the very start.
But now I’m telling you the door is open, so just walk in and take my heart.
You aren’t just something for me to look at; you are a priceless work of art.
You can tell me this and tell me that.
Tell me lies and tell me fact.
No matter what my ears are open.
Let’s run away you’ll say, I’m hoping.
Let’s travel the world and see new sights.
Cross new borders and reach new heights.
We’ll forget the days and enjoy the nights.
But just in case you didn’t hear, once again let’s run away.
And if not now, and if not then there’s one more thing that I must say.
I’ll be right here, waiting on you, for time to being that special day.

True Thought
Tyler Hutchens Oct 2009
Sleepless night, all these thoughts on my mind

Thinking about the past as my memories rewind

They say things happen for a reason, but I don't believe that

Some say there's a silver lining, I wish that I could see that

I've seen people be the hero; I wish I could be that

Who says there's a limit to what a man can do

As long as you take advantage of everything they hand you

You have to be yourself to the point where they can't stand you

Get away with everything this way they can't reprimand you

Be all you can be and don't let no one stop you

Don't believe all the people who tell you that they've got you

Never trust too many people only who you got to

If you're trusting just two people it's time for you to drop two

'Cause the minute that you turn your back they act like they forgot you

In the end most people will just follow where the tide goes

But to prove to everyone your sane, your emotions you must hide those

You can always tell when someone's fake if you know it like how I know

You will always make the right decision if you go about it like how I go

Some say that the sky's the limit; well it's time to let the sky go

Live life like you'll live forever; we all know we will die though

'Cause dying with a smile is better than living with a frown

If you're always crying when life gets tough, your face will surely drown

So give yourself a red paintbrush and run about the town

And when you reach your house again, go to bed and say

"I am glad today I made the choice to live my life this way."

Now with my heart upon my sleeve, and emotions on display

I'll tell you that this is me and I am here to stay

— The End —
