Mistakes
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
Mistakes are what everyone is entitled once. but just;
But when you make more, the one thing that fades are your peers and families trust.

You know that you will make more and rarely catastrophic;
But mostly it is stupid and sometimes microscopic.

You say your sorry so sorrowfully that you are depressed;
Because your only shred of nobility just got compressed.

You are finally ready to live again after what you call "the sentence";
Because you know that all is forgotten and all pastance.

Friends
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
Friends are always with you whenever you need;
They guide you and want you to succeed.

When you are down they lend a shoulder;
And they remind you that it is fun to get older.

They are one of the most compassionate people to know;
Aside from your parents who everyday see you grow.

When your in trouble they lend a hand without no if's and's or but's;
Even though you sometimes act like a putz.

You need friends no matter the time or place;
Because they do the best to get you from making a mistake.

So get some, and know what the best feeling feels like which is love I know;
Because they are the one who will make your legacy live on when your past and gone, watching from above or below.

Bored At Home 2
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
You laze around home with no energy because of the heat of summer;
You try so hard to keep cool but with no air conditioning, it's a ******.

There is only 2 weeks till you go back to school for another year to quickly start sailing;
You are now brave enough to study and defeat your fear of failing.

Your friends now show up and you share stories of your summer gone by;
But you are all of a sudden late and to class you fly.

Summer Love
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
Summer love with such a feeling of joy;
Wishing that would be her boy.

The feeling of warmth in your heart;
Hoping again that you will not part.

Emotions and heartbeats are running high and fast;
Could the expectations we have really come at long last?

So try to get to know that special person as much as you need;
Because with the thing that matters is that with hope you will succeed.

Frustration
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
You are angry about the way something happened to go wrong;
For example like you get the hiccups when you are singing a song.

You are thrown in what feels like a world of hatred and despair.
You try to climb out but that just makes you even more angry like the dandruff in your hair.

You have so much anger that you finally explode with such force that snaps cable;
You slam your fist down and you just damaged your night table.

You are surprised that you have such strength in your arm;
But you realize that you did to little good then harm.

So release your anger in the way that is positive and that suits you best;
But for me personally I prefer to give it a rest.

Rejection
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
You say "i love you" to the girl of your dreams;
Even though you sense that it is not all that it seams.


You are battered with the thought that she is not interested in you anymore;
Because something ruined your chances to score.

The feeling of hurt, sorrow, regret and hope come in all in one time;
You still feel like you did some type of crime.

All of a sudden you don't care anymore about him/her anymore;
Because you have found again loves pleasant shore.

Everyday you live like it is your last;
Even though they go by so fast.

You meet your ex and your become friends and that is when you realize what made your relationship end.

Either Way
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
Surround your heart with steel bars and barbed wire;
And you shall not be pained with the proper attire.

But if you find true love and let it fade;
Sorrow will pain't it's shade.

Alienate your heart from all and it shall never break;
Let it love, but if it's lost it shall forever ache.

But keep the heart from finding love and lonesomeness prevails;
For if you close yourself to all your soul shall never sail.

Entomb your heart in the walls of stone and not let it be touched;
Then never have the feeling that we all long for so much.

PANIC
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
You see smoke, you see fire;
You think it was a shorting wire.

In this time of rush you run for everything to stop the blaze;
Before all of the town will see your smokey haze.

Finally a fire crew arrives and your rush turns to hope;
Even it is a total loss that you have to cope.

So here is a message where your day turns into an emergency that is not much fun;
PLEASE DIAL 911!!!
While living with my dad in 2002, his motorhome caught fire while I was out. This describes what happened.
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
One night after drinking with some friends;
Maybe we might talk to each other tomorrow it only depends.

In the car with my friend driving through the muck;
I just realized we got hit by a truck.

All of a sudden i was rushed to the hospital all badly scraped and battered;
My face all ****** and my clothes all tattered.

I remember my mother holding my hand as i gave my last sigh;
I told her i love her and we said goodbye.

I am in heaven right now and inside i feel empty;
Cause life would be a drag without me.
This is dedicated to Danae Dupuis. Who past away by a drunk driver in October of 2000.

The Girl & Boy Part 2
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
The boy who i knew years ago;
Who turned out to be my foe.

Watching me like a perv;
Only an insult i will serve.

I hope he understands the pain he gave not to lightly;
Cause the love i feel for him is only slightly.

I just want to be free and be only friends;
Before our life shortly ends.

The Girl & Boy Part 1
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
The girl who years ago i knew;
Whose memories are very few.

But she is still in my mind all happy and free;
Only her body is all i will see.

The point is that you have to get over your fear;
Before the end draws very near.

It is not easy to make the pain go away;
The only thing to remember is let the love stay.

Bored At Home
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
It is boring to drink alone;
Even when you drink at home.

Nobody to talk to online;
Except your old feline.

Your always admiring your ***;
Even though your girl of your dreams and you are not 3 peas in a pod.

Whatever the case might be;
You can only see.

Why you are snoring;
Cause you know this life is boring.

Western Wind
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
Western wind when will you blow with the rain?
Christ, if my love and I were in my arms in our bed again.

I miss my love there is no doubt;
But at the heavens I scream and shout.

I just want one more night and to see you in the light
Just waiting for you, i'm loosing my fight.

Lady Fortune
Cam McElwee Mar 2016
The lady fortune is both freind and foe;

Was poor now rich as rich as poor also.

She longs for love to be swift and long lasting;

but the days are forever passing.

— The End —
