Sometimes it's better
To not have ever
Even tried
"Never say never"
Should come with a disclaimer
Spread wide

Watch for the tide
Current's make a deadly ride
Try to remember
More people than not have lied
Wrong and right often mingle on the same side
A good person's not even a contender

I wanted so bad to be done with the fight
I no longer cared 'bout who's wrong and who's right

~ Couplet ~
A pair of consecutive lines of poetry that create a complete thought or idea. The lines often have a similar syllabic patterns, called a meter. While most couplets rhyme, not all do.

The word Couplet is French for a "little pair"

I once held hands with a stranger.

I'm not sure if I've ever felt closer
To another human being.

It was innocence.

It was beautiful.

It was a surprise.
You were always my mirror,
And I, merely a reflection,
Of your love, your kindness,
The laughter in your eyes.
mirror, merely... playing
When you cease to fear death,
Nothing will ever scare you.

Start there.
I do not
Fit into any of the groups

I am a color not found on the puzzle
Or maybe visible by the human eye

But I am constantly on the watch
For other wanderers
School has very distinct groups, none of which I fit in to. I try to find others who don't fit--no luck so far.

Even though
The ground is covered in snow
I know if you dig a little deeper
You'll find it to be warm
There are some people I thought I might never end up liking or being friends with, but I only saw the show. Of course, not true with everyone, but nevertheless.
