Would I rather be
with someone that feels
cozy and warm,

or someone that
feel like thrill
and fire
and smells like
mint and waterfalls.

I wonder why untried things have a certain charm.
Cecil Miller May 2015
I could not believe my luck
To finally find a friend.
We could have taken on the world together,
I never wanted it to end.

Something had to come along and change it.
I know where we went wrong.
We both wanted to be in the same band,
But we both wrote differents songs.

We broke apart like clashing comets
Falling from out of the sky.
I guess inside I always knew
That I could never be your guy.

It wasn't that I lacked self-confidence.
It was not even that I felt shame.
We understood what the other meant.
But, the thing we wanted was the same.

I would have bet my heart on you.
But I could never live a lie.
For a while there, life was a party,
How the time flew by!

You drifted back into my world,
I was drifting far from mind.
About the time I was fragmenting,
Saturn was about to unwind.

Like a stone, I catapulted into the world.
I ricocheted liked a silver ball.
I was making up for lost time.
I would rise, then I would fall.

The colors melded hotly
As I did crash and burn.
The cynicism came with ease,
With every lesson I did learn.

I settled into my routine.
I cooled as I slowed down.
I looked you up to say hello,
And I miss having you around.

I cannot believe my luck.
That you still are my friend.
Sing your songs and tell me stories,
Like you did way back when.
May 5th, 2015 - I wrote this poem after I connected with a friend from the old days. We called each other by the old names.

I see faces I once knew
With the same eyes,
but differents mantras.
Singing songs of sorrow and success,
With smoke filled mouths.
They gurgle and blow.
Secretly afraid of the iron fist,
Fair weather anarchists.
They dance in the moonlight.
Slow moving bodies twist and shimmer like the water rippling around their bare feet.

j'ai envie de toi d'une façon que tu ne pourra jamais comprendre, comme tu n'as jamais su me comprendre moi
je t'aime d'une force tel celle que je n'ai pas pu accumuler pour te quitter.
tu me manque d'une intensité semblable a celle dont mon coeur bat a chaque fois que pose les yeux sur toi.
je veux t'oublier autant que j'ai besoin de toi.
c'est juste difficile de t'aimer, difficile.. difficile! j'ai enfin trouver les mots parfaits pour expliquer notre relation: difficile, compliquer et presque impossible, mais pourtant rien ni personne peut me rendre plus heureuse ..ou malheureuse. toi et moi on n'est tellement differents, on voit rarement les choses du même perspective, et chaqu'un veux des choses differentes et a d'autres plans que l'autre, ça m'irrite des fois mais c'est aussi une des choses que j'adore chez toi, après tout n'est ce pas que deux opposés s'attirent? mais il y a autant de choses que j'aime chez toi que de choses qui me rendent folle, ces choses ce n'est que dernièrement que j'ai commencer a les remarquer, comme ton insensibilité, ton egoïsme, ta malhonnêteté, et ton inconsideration envers moi, enfaite touts ces défauts tu ne les as qu'avec moi, tellement que des fois
je penses que tu fais certaines choses juste pour me faire mal et si c'est réelement le cas je voudrais te félicité car encore une fois tu as réussis ta quête et eu ce que tu voulais. je me demande tout le temps pourquoi j'insiste a restée a tes côtés et enduré ta crualité envers moi mais je ne trouve jamais de répense apart "parce que je l'aime" mais est-ce suffisant? j'y peux rien, je n'arrive pas a t'oublier, je me suis trop attachée a toi, tu ne peux juste pas imaginé a quel point je t'adore, c'est juste inexpressif ..et j'admets aussi que je ne VEUX pas te laisser partir.. mais ce n'est pas de ma faute, tu a trop bien su comment me pièger et te jouer de moi pour me rendre carrément et complétement acro a toi, et maintenant je suis coincé dans ce piége, ce trou noir qu'est l'amour irréciproque

I'll make a hymn,
A hymn to my sadness,
Prose is my laziest instrument,
To outsource loneliness,
To let melancholy,
That in some point it had its nest on me,
I'll leave my inconformity,
My frustation,
My deepest feeling of denial,
Against all the injustice around me,
Neither by spitting it,
Cursing it,
Or changing it,
Becomes fair.

Where every man or woman has no value,
Where every object becomes value,
Welcome everyone,
To reality,
Where neither being a human could have more value than trash,
Where every objection is opposed by economic power,
Where every opportunity is shorn of those who do not have power,
Low self-esteem,
Constant comparison,
Self-destruction,
Our most solid principles in society,
Where suicidal instinct is a viable way,
While confrontation is brave and impossible,
Where all are dwarfed by those who take opportunities,
Beacuse most of them have opportunities at hand,
Freezing loneliness,
Takes over this city,
Where who gets laid more times,
Is the one who lives better.

Welcome to our society,
Where everything is declining,
Where the future is in the East and even in the north,
Where hope dwells expectation,
Which brings us to want what belongs to others,
To destroy ourselves only for not being enough,
Depend on the covers of social acceptance,
Just to be someone,
Where death,
It is a privilege and a prize at the same time,
For those who know that today,
Our society is the most perfect one,
For the generation born with it,
But not for our future or past.

Souls intertwine and become a new life,
They return to this soiety so different,
But they do not feel the change so sudden and incoherent,
Since the beginning of such children will feel,
But growing they will know,
That society will reject them,
They become marginalized at the same cycle,
Where mad people,
Dreamers,
Gentlemen,
Free thinkers,
The differents,
Will be placed on the corner table,
Where they are to fill leftovers,
Society just give them.

A path I am on
The one I was scared to be on
The one that's a Frost's road
Different as they call it
The one i was taught about in class
(For the sake of literature
I think)

Difference though is omnipresent
(But for the sake of science i think)
Difference is dangerous
Prevented and taught to that
But still so immense in me
Running, I run fast from it
Still those tiny ants
Ride me and creep on my chest
I slap and I recoil
Not realizing they would bite
Just afraid of a possibility
Under influence of tales of history
Where tragedy outnumbers celebration

Difference that is lovely
A dog or a pet I adore
I embrace it on some units
In cases it makes me revolt
Against groups who think differently
**** differently
And I am proud to insult them
Their inheritance of unevidenced values
Suddenly, though, and mostly
I hit headlights
The dog bites my flesh
I am short of arguments
To support my difference
I am short of theorems
To prove what is right
As I shake my peace flag
Weak in doubts of my wrongfullness

Difference leaves me alone
I am disappointed
I am disgusted
By the different crowds
More even by myself
Difference leaves me alone
Not always
But when does
It blows me down
With contempt and longitude
And i wither back to doubts
Beginning like a shower
Taking up, thunderstorm fashion
That 'I must be wrong'

Differents - hated by many
Maybe because they think it is a disease
Maybe it is going to convert them
Maybe they'd feel isolated
Left alone on a planet
Where everyone is on a screen
Screens might be too many
And you lose your owness
In that melancholy
Maybe scared,
The apparent parental foundations
Blown down to dust, now they mean nothing
The social cycles breaking apart
Storms of worry corrode and perforate
Your soul,
I understand its difficult
As I stand wet at the pavement
Staring at my waterlogged road
(I understand)

I was born with this monster
Feeding on my psyche
Leaving me deficit
Leaving me dumb
It taking my advantage
I taking its name
When i have to name my life
In one word
No matter how much
I tried shooing it away
Putting up acts, masquerads
It's impossible to let it go
It is me, the difference
And I feel like everyone is
Only either I am too insistent
For making my difference
So significant
Or I am a fool
That can't get over itself


Pk

It's sad to say
that Keith's writing skills
of which there were many
have passed away
No more little tales
stories
and poems
So many differents parts of his life
to enjoy, and enjoy
like being a 'Gardener'
falling into hedges
without knowing why
Bless him, wherever he may be

be yourself
they say.
it's okay to be yourself
everyone is different.
unique some might say.
each have their own personality.
their own selves

what a bunch of
****.
everyone i've met is eerily the same.
it's the same tone,
same pace
all is
bleak
dull
deafeningly irritating.

where have the passionate, the thoughtful
the mysterious, the brooding
the tortured, the observant
gone?

nothingness

they say we are intelligent
as a species
but i look around
we are only as intelligent
as we make of life
make from life
and
i say
we aren't reaching
the fullest potential
a species,
us can reach.
should reach.

instead of reaching for
mutual respect
of our similar differents,
love
we reach for violence
war
between each other
our brothers and sisters
who breathe the same air
who bleed
the same
we ****
our own kind
instead of mutual respect

so this is why

our different
isn't any different
my different
is no different than
their different

different
is not
different enough.
thoughts and prayers go out to all the tragedies that have occurred over the summer, but also in these last few years. when will it be time for us to accept and move on with life. just respect and love. that's it.
Hatred, runs in my veins,
right here in the chest it pains,
Never was loved too much to feel,
Never did I ever heal.
The scars remain as it is,
as the sky falls down, its a miss,
I am hurt, but you never let me die,
to not believe in you, is my try.
Never saw you in a loving way,
nailed you to death, how could they?
Still you seem to be so alive,
saving me and all of them, at least tell me whats your name ?
Power to hold the universe,
to the good you bless to the bad you curse,
why is it , that they love to pray,
won't do a good deed but expect a good day.
Why is it, that you have ultimate fame?
everyone gives you a different name.
You save some, let a million die,
Why don't you appear up front, aren't you too shy?
What is it that gives them peace to pray,
who are you, and what do you want to save?
don't you see murders and terrorists all around!
The lord, why do you let the bad invade ?
Why is it, that half of the world doesn't believe,
or is it true, that you aren't there !
Its your creation, man and this earth,
why won't a glimpse you'd share?
Almighty, i am not sure of what to think,
to believe or to not, what more life could bring?
more than flowers and birds and all the beautiful things,
and the farmers daughter in the farm who'd sing..
differents cultures religions and all the people you made,
it's beautiful but aren't you afraid ?
what if, if one day it'll all just fade?
will you help us, come down and give us shade ?
I don't believe in you, I'm scared if my trust must be broken,
only a miracle can show them, their minds it'll awaken.
be sure, sweet lord, my word is true,
there is something you need to prove!
zach graham Feb 2019
Have you ever been falsely accused ?
              Well ive been
Ive been falsely accused so amused
By my last ex
the last text she sent
Was “all you  ever wanted was ***”
We are human beings thats just
Something that we can expect
See i should of known better
We went through bad times and
Good weather
i should've responded back
To her and  said “never”
i wish i was Betta. but i wasn’t in that right state
Of mind i tried to give all of my Pick up
Lines but they all DIED
So i cried, so i cried   yeah i might’ve lied once
Or twice but maybe what i needed was
A Man to Man advice thats right
Im Kingzachg of HeartBreaks
We just two different couples
Trying to make out of the same  struggle
But its hard for me to juggle
I remember we used to splash on puddles
Blowing out bubbles, staying out of trouble
And cuddle on a day to day basis
Im just trying to keep my homeostasis
But it doesn’t seem  like she can face it
Im not trying to Chase ****
That's real talk  she Falsely accused
Me of being a cheater
I'm No Chris Brown im No woman beater
Im just trying to treat her
Like no other *****
Did
Shout out to all the ******
That did u *****,
may you find a real *****
Who’s actually sturdy.
I dont think you guys get it
I ******* cheated on a girl
I used to call mine
She was all on the phone
With her friends
Throwing all these differents SiGNs
Im drinking so much hennessy
This ***** getting out of line
Im like the rattlesnake
Stone Cold steve Austin  
Cause that's the bottom line.
Im more like Romeo  
Your more like Juliet
Im a montague
Your just  a  freaking capulet
Were just two genders of different ***
Cause That's my intellect
I expected love to be the same
But she left me for another lame
Im not the type of ***** thats good for playing games
Dont you ever forget the name Kingzachg
The Heart Break Kid is comming out in two weeks
Yes indeed, best believe there’s no I in team
Im doing this for my family best believe sheesh!!!!
this is just some sh^t i was going through had to spill out my emotions on this poem.i did made another poem called falsely accused 2 that leads up of me battling my ex and her boyfriend. you can probably guess if there's going be a third one and yes thats comming in the future and that just basically  just saying where  my mind is at
Do we know why are we living,
Where do we go for our,
Eternal dwelling, I know I'm telling,
You the truth,
Once Knowledge entered my booth,
They say I'm loosing it,
Because I don't believe in *******,
The *****, moving at colossal speeds,
Pass the and f five seed,
Breeds, a new wind of atrocity,
Look at what's behind thee,
Kids is the target,
Adults are the arrows,
And the media is the bow,
Constrictin' our life flow,
All it takes is one blow, one blow,
And you see them crumble slow,
Beware the nation,
On a dead end collapse perhaps,
Y'all forget about nineteen twenty nine,
When you think we was behind,
They were fifty years ahead of time,
Think about it, there was a major event fifty years before that,
Peep the war essence, that's steadily out here testin' and stressin',
The world's a ghetto, wither it's rich middle class to poor,
We all in the same boat, cold.world but differents coats,
Worn like skins stormed, by the pigment that was formed,
We still all bleed red, no matter what the scientist said,
Pay attention twenty twenty nine, gone be that year,
A new taste to blind, the masses with fear,
If I'm gone, just know I'm still here,
For the energy can't be destroyed,
Their will be a new breed of androids,
Intermingling with humans,
Pay attention, to the demolition, man sixth days, and y'all still don't see the plan,
I robots to Oculus in hands, on the heads like a kick stand,
Fadin' us out of reality, in with technology,
And say this is the new god to be, from paper to digital currency,
Gold and silver, is the real commodity,
But don't bother me,
When the streets get filled with chaos,
A Christ like version, coming to cross,
When there's a mention of world peace along comes the beast,
To feast on the wicked souls,
He won't slay he'll just use televisions,and let the images display,
Happy people, paradin' around like it's no tomorrow,
And happiness lives forever, but never,
Forever they'll be confined,
In their own braile minds, of the fortune tellin', the twilight zone

— The End —
