Pigs are not vegetarian
Zach Gordon Apr 2013
The pigs are coming
To take me away
To a barred up wonderland
with no escape

I should've ran
When I smelled bacon
Now I'm stuck in a pin
A lonely hungry vegetarian.
I thought it was funny...
Zach Gordon Feb 2013
I can't comprehend what makes you do the things you do.
Starting to wonder if you even knew.
Your perception is ******.
Deception is you.
I'll never understand what makes you move.
You're a fool.

Lied to her face,
You're a ****,
disgrace

Heartless *******, faithless leader
Nothing but a liar and a cheater

You misled then cheated
I can't ******* believe it
Caught in the ties
Of your filthy lies

Caught in the bond
of your ball and chain
Caught in the bond
of your wedding ring

Heartless *******, faithless leader
Nothing but a liar and a cheater
This song is about my cousin's husband who cheated on her while she was pregnant with her twins and in the hospital being nursed so that the babies and herself didn't die....when he cheated on her he also got that chick preggo....then was the icing on the cake of all of the other lies, like for instance saying he was going grocery shopping then going to the ******* and blowing 100 bucks. Hey, dude. *******.

Celibacy
My friends think I'm crazy
Purity
A task hard to achieve

***
It's so blinding
Lust
Always struggling

STDs
I've escaped
Babies
Not on the way

Happy
That I can see
Carefree
Judge me

Fun
Found differently
Waiting
Until I'm married

Injection is Relief
Zach Gordon Mar 2013
Cold floors, and the doors are open
Rushing white coats, we're running
Bright room, and sharpened steel
Stripped down, injection is relief

How could this be?
I finally feel like a human being
This can't be happening.
My life is drenched with disease.

Corrupt
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
I see the way you look at me.
I see the way you look at me.

What will it take for you to see
that we all come from the same corrupted tree.
I'm sick of people looking at me like I'm a freak and judging my every action.  I may look like I'm messed up but that's just because I'm not being fake.  We all mess up, we're all imperfect, we all SIN.  Stop trying to hide it.  Stop judging your brothers and sisters.  START building up one another and helping them get through their problems.  Don't be FAKE.

LIAR
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
The line between what's real and fake is starting to break you.
First breath's stating something
Next breath's contradicting.

And you're always exaggerating
I don't know how to take you seriously.

You've cried wolf one time too much,
now you're acting like you're stuck in a rut.

You want something from me?
I've got nothing to give.
Stop lying you sad *******.

Constantly Striving
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
I never thought I could sink this low
It feels like I'm drowning
In a sea of vanity
What ever happened to me?

Imprisoned by my pride
Searching for the light
Imprisoned by conceitedness
Wanting back my old life

I won't stand for this
This life I can't forget
I won't stand for this
This life I can't forget

I'm saying goodbye to strife
Beginning a new life
Leaving my pride behind me
Striving for humility

Money Hungry Slaves
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
Needed more so you took what you wanted.
Dug yourself into a hole of greed.
Now we're stuck, slaves to money.
What ever happened to the land of the free?

What'd you do?
Thoughts wasting away.
Thanks to you,
We're slaves.

Drinking alone my friend
Sounds familiar doesn't it?
The phones not ringin
Because no one cares
But the grass is greener
In the bottle at the bottom

Right?

Who am I kiddin
No ones listenin
Sittin alone, sippin alone
That's the flow of this poem  

Depressed again. Whatever.
I'm over it and alone
I know this is wack, but it's how I'm feeling.

Never Alone
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
I once thought I knew you.
Guess I was wrong.
Life is full of surprises,
but I never thought.

That you'd be a disappointment,
I turned my back for just one moment.

Now you're gone, never coming back.
But I'm not alone,
Never alone.

Humiliated
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
Stop chasing this fantasy.
If love is what it claims nothing will make it break.
Instead you bend to every word that she says.
To ease the wrath, you're so scared to face.

I guess you're just her little puppet.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
You're molded into something she created.
Left in the dirt, naked and humiliated.

I will never be like you
Consumerist pride and corporate lies
Drowned in greed
Watching the less fortunate bleed

Selfishness, prideful bliss

Drop the act
Before its to late
Destroying humanity
Drivin by your vanity

Smoked out whore.
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
You treat ***
Like a pack of cigs
Get your fix
Off to the streets.

Pack a day
Pack to many.
Ash away
Keep puffing.

Don't waste a second
Lying awake
Without that sweet sensation
Of nicotine between your legs.

Sore throat?
You light another
I warned you
Why'd I bother?

Burned out
Cashed out
Smoked out
*****.

You'll never learn
Until life gets to far.
This may ****, I'm really tired, but I liked it.  Maybe I'm crazy

It's like the world's in denial

All the time that I've wasted
I will never forget

Emotional train wreck

Kelaiah
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

Heart stops beating
Silence is growing
My mind is circling
This world is torturing

Stomach is churning
Body is burning
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief

I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

My soul is crying for peace
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief
This is about my cousin's daughter Kelaiah.  My cousin was one of the largest influences in my life and I love him like a brother.  A month after being born Kelaiah passed away due to a hole in her heart, and it was emotionally hard.  I tried to write this in my cousin's perspective about how I thought he had to have been feeling, but as I kept writing I realized it's how we were all feeling.  We are a family.  One of the people I love most in this world's daughter died after barely getting to know her, and on top of everything seeing how much it hurt him hurt me.  I don't know if this is any good, but I really like it, because it was how I was feeling and still continue to feel.

I can see in your face that's getting old
Same thing different day
Hating life in a way

But your so lost in your ****

Gettin ****** on, **** on, beat on
And it all seems normal
Cause your stuck in a hole
That you've made your home

Since I was a kid
You whispered in my ear
You told me lies

I never wanted my life
To be controlled by your lies

We'll never see eye to eye

Lost Trust

It's easy to have mixed feelings
But it's stuck in my head and I still can't believe it
Several months invested and it feels like it's *******
I wanted truth but all I got was a half assed excuse of something that was never real
I guess these days it's just unheard of to actually feel
Been **** on before, got **** on again
Sometimes life doesn't feel worth it,
Can't wait for the end.
Time after time. Nothing's changed. **** it.

Such a Waste
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
You walk around tryin to fit in
Wanna look nice for all your friends
Living life as a fashion statement
Never sticking up for what you

Wasting all your money on pills and blunt wraps
Going through friends like you go through dime sacks

You're nothing but a waste
Lack of respect for yourself

Lonely and confused
Cause you never had time for the friends you've used

Love Not Lust
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
Is this really what things have come to?
Desperate bodies controlled by desperate minds.
So scared to be alone
Searching for comfort you'll never find.

Stop kidding yourself.
You and I both well know
That in these petty relationships there is no love.

The only reason you keep someone around
Is so you can continue getting off.

Blinded by your filthy bed sheets
Wrapping that bloodstained noose around your neck.
You are your own worst enemy.
I'm sick of people always being in relationships just for ***. It's stupid and you are digging yourself into a lonely hole.

Climbed too high
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
Stop trying to justify your actions.
You know it's ****** up or you wouldn't be hiding.
Running to the deepest corner of your mind
Only to find emptiness and self destruction

You've seen better days
And you've moved mountains
But you climbed to high
And now you're fallin

Get up, get up
This isn't over
Keep trying
I know you can do this.

I will not let my pain get the best of me
I will not let this world defeat me.

No needle can harm me.
No needle can break me.

I've been through thick and thin
Waging war on ****** up consequences.
On top of many other ****** things that have happened in my life, I was also diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12. That's what the "no needle can harm" bit is about, not drugs, but if that's what your struggle is, take it to heart, and don't stop waging war on it.  Honestly isn't my favorite thing I've written. I feel like it's just off I guess. Oh well..

You're a joke.
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
You're not fooling anyone
So smart, don't need school
Babies turned to men
Coming to you for my answers

Do I look cool?
Is my hair right?
Band tees, camo pants
Don't want to be mocked tonight

You're a joke
Following trends
Be yourself
Or you'll never have friends
I love punk/******* music, and the scene is great, but people need to stop trying so hard.  When I joined the scene I was the kid who didn't fit in because I didn't look like everyone else, but that's why they accepted me, because I didn't try. If you fake it, and you do have a lot of friends, they know the fake you, and that **** will come out one day, and you'll be known as the dude or chick who is nothing but a fake. This song is sarcastic towards people like that. BE YOU!

The Outcome
Zach Gordon Sep 2013
Scared to live, scared to die
In one ear but not out the other
Living is dying and dying is living
Said to me from the man with a needle in his vein
Just have another drink, sit back and wash away the pain
The agony's continuing
With a bloodstained history
It's hard to make sense of it
Bile in the sink
Because I can't eat
And there's nothing to purge
Except what's left of me

Sick of apathy.
Zach Gordon Jan 2013
I'm sick of this empty sympathy.
It's the small things that count like the gift you gave me.
Uncle, if you can hear me
I just want to thank you for caring.

It's got everybody feeling sorry for me
but I don't want a ******* pity party
What more can you ask of me?
I'm so ******* sick of apathy.
This is a long paragraph, but it explains a lot about this poem. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was  12 years old.  While sitting in the hospital scared and upset many friends and family came to visit and everyone had the same thing to say, "I'm sorry," but it seemed so apathetic. I remember thinking that I would have rather they just didn't say anything, because I was sick of it. My uncle who died two ears ago from cancer came to visit me and I remember him walked through the doors of the room the hospital had me staying in and he just had a grin on his face and he handed me a bag of sugar-free candy, I didn't even know they made sugar-free candy, and he gave me a hug and said he loved me. That meant the world to me, I'm ******* holding back tears just typing this right now.  Sugar-free candy has these things in them called Sugar Alcohols, which at the time we didn't know what they would do to me.  Turns out that if you aren't used to them they will just give you bad diarrhea.  He didn't know that, and when he found out there was sugar alcohol he immediately felt guilty about it, and on his deathbed I was visiting him for one of the last times and he decided to apologize to me for giving me that candy, because he thought it could have killed me.  Seeing how much pain he was in and he still apologized to me destroyed me, I tried so hard to tell him how much that meant to me, but I couldn't get the words out through crying.  Even if that candy would have killed me, I would have died happy knowing people loved me.  It truly is the thought that counts and I know he was thinking about me. I just pray he knows that. I love and miss that dude and I regret far to often I didn't tell him that.  This poem is just a small amount of what I was feeling that day.

Hope is found in you.

Breaking the promise only made with yourself

Your life is over, you exhausted your time.

POETRY
Zach Gordon Dec 2012
Poetry is not a logic.
It doesn’t always make sense.
It may be written between two lines,
but it is not confined to the lines of your mind.

Poetry is not a world changer,
but it may change your life.
It is not a definition, it’s an art.
The meaning is left for you to decide.

Close your eyes,
if you look you will not see.
Listen to your heart
and follow the beat.

Writing it down just isn’t enough for me.
My words are filled with passion.
A feeling that can’t be seen.
Unless...
I open my mouth and scream.
