Letter To Myself

Give it up, no time for excuses
A sad man will cry but a broken man uses
His sadness as a reason for why he abuses
Himself and who he loves and they are who he accuses

When things go wrong you can't just run and hide
In this life we can't control we're just along for the ride
You take the good with the bad, all the tears you have cried
you add them all up and they reflect in your stride

But try and stand tall, try and walk even taller
if you're aching to call pick up the phone and call her
If you're striving for knowledge, go out become a scholar
Don't let your folly's in life tighten 'round your neck like a collar 

The one they put around your neck with a tag for return
If you stray too far away and their reality begins to burn
You'll be sent right back and re-taught what they want you to learn
And they'll convince you their acceptance is vital to earn

You can fall in with the crowd, take your place in line
Or you can choose to use your voice, you can choose to shine
A ray of light breaking the dark, peaceful and benign
show the world around you it's not that hard to realign

So get up out of bed, I want only positive today
I want you to let go of your sadness, push the negative away
I want you to appreciate the people, all the ones who've stayed
And thank them every day, they could so easily have strayed

Life is not a chore that slowly we get done
It's as random as our planet floating steady 'round the sun
It's meant to be enjoyed, it's experiences fun
and if your head lays down for good and you are happy, you can rest easy, you have won

My Soldier

My mama, my soldier
my comfort, my shoulder
to cry on, my boulder
I rely on I've told her
 
Nothing can replace the person that created you
someone there to help you no matter what you're going through
 
Someone who formed the person you became
someone who has sheltered you through waves and waves of rain
 
I can't say it enough, I love you with my whole heart
you're there to put me back together every time I fall apart
 
My mama, my soldier
my comfort, my shoulder
to cry on, my boulder
I rely on I've told her
 
Mama I hope I forever make you proud
but you know I'll always test your patience as much as I'm allowed
 
I know that you've forgiven all the stupid **** I've done
and you've dealt with so much stress to ensure my childhood was fun
 
I'm forever grateful for everything you've sacrificed for me
I hope I am that apple that didn't all far from the tree
 
My mama, ya dove you
put no one above you
life might push and shove you
but I'll always love you
 
My mama, my soldier
my comfort, my shoulder
to cry on, my boulder
I rely on I've told her

Day Off

I need a day off
from this irritating cough
i need a day off
from the snickers, smirks and scoffs
I really need a day off
from all these butterflied up moths
 
will I ever get a break
from this sickness, keeping me awake
will I ever get a break
from admitting my mistakes
could I please just get a break
from confusing what is fake 
 
I wish I could get a rest
from this god forsaken test
I wish I could get a rest
from all the weight upon my chest
I wish I could get a rest
from getting myself so depressed
 
but I need to step it up again
to restore my word to what its been
but i need to step it up again
never ceasing my conditionin'
I mean I really need to step it up this time
in my life, my brain, and in my rhyme

Graduation Day

Graduation day, Graduation day
today that is all I hear
but I will not be graduating,
and its this I fear
I'm a simple failure
and this is simply clear
at least in my own eyes
because I know I cannot steer...

...My life in the way I thought that I could
everything in the bag, turns quickly to, knock on wood
and now I'm left observing, the would, the could, the should
thought that I was moving forward, so very still I stood
 
Graduation day, Graduation day
congrats to all of course
I hate to be crude but
stop beating that poor horse
It's already died 
from being beaten with such force
and as you beat the lifeless words 
your eyes show no remorse...
 
...For the sad failures like me
a graduation I will never see
knowing its my own fault still I make a plea
"Graduation day, Graduation day
Please don't forget me."

Good Old Days

The good old days, the good old days
every time we all look back
Leaving out the pain and heartache
everything we'd rather lack

The good old days, the good old days
How they always make me smile
Stopping by just to say hi
every once in a while

The good old days, the good old days
always look back on you fondly,
The times that I loved
That affected me strongly

The good old days, the good old days
How romanticized they are
Or blown out of proportion
Getting taken way to far

The good old days, the good old days
How distorted you can be
All due to this faulty camera
That controls our memory

The good old days, the good old day
I miss you nonetheless
I look back at you often
Though I try not to regress

The good old days, the good old days
I would like to ask you a favor
Keep my pain and heartache tucked away
And for that you'll be my savior

The Good old days, the good old days
I still love to reminisce
Because you did just what you said
Because you stuck to our promise

Meta-Fours

Been writing these rhymes for a while, 
imagination like quail man, keepin that Doug Funnie style

I keep my world in my mind it can't be contained in a file, 
like My Cousin Vinny I blow you away when on trial

I pick on the game all day like I'm Helga Patacki, 
the lines and rhymes work for me you can call them my lackeys

I work hard at what I do you can never say that I'm slacking, 
my words dump sludge on the negative my own version of fracking

When I write down these words I'm telling a story, 
like Sean Astin in Rudy I'm always striving for glory

I'll be in the game old and gray just start callin' me Maury, 
still on the search for a partner you can just call me Dori

Like the hero in Skyrim I'm on my own quest, 
to rid myself of negativity and get this **** off my chest

I still have much to learn and I'm far from the best, 
but if this life is a final I think I'm passin' the test

Together We Will Be

Im sitting thinking of you find I do this all the time
Thought id make something of my thoughts maybe put them in a rhyme
I think of what we are and what we’ll be and what we’re meant to do
All I know for certain is I always think of you

You live in my mind now and I know youre there to stay
I’d be hurt so bad if you just up and went away
So I hold on to the memories and thoughts of you and me
And if you think about me to together we will be

So stay with me inside my mind until I see you standing there
Stay with me in memories til I can run my hands right through your hair
Stay with me in thought until your laying next me
And when you are inside my arms, together we will be

I never want to lose you, I hope I never will
I never thought Id feel this way its amazing to me still
So stick with me through bad times and enjoy with me the good
And ill make sure I treat you like a knight in armor should

I will be there for you no matter what life brings
I swear when I first saw you, you were wearin angel wings
You were sent down here from heaven, to fill my empty soul
You were sent here to me to place my heart within this hole

So stay with me inside my mind until I see you standing there
Stay with me in memories til I can run my hands right through your hair
Stay with me in thought until your laying next me
And when you are inside my arms, together we will be

Soon Ill be there with you as your falling fast asleep
Ill be there to help you as your counting all those sheep
Holding you inside my arms as I drift off in dreams
Oh what perfect future, a future with you seems

So stay with me inside my mind until I see you standing there
Stay with me in memories til I can run my hands right through your hair
Stay with me in thought until your laying next me
And when you are inside my arms, together we will be

Society Won'T Change Me

have you ever let someone make you feel like youre out of place,
see the looks they give like you must be from outerspace,
our society is judgemental where any difference is a disgrace,
pain is felt by so many, society spitting in their face,
 
if you break free from normality they will only throw you away,
become another casualty of a world slipping everyday,
people feelin enough pain inside to choose it better not to stay,
it needs to change.
 
person by person being told what they need to be,
an imaginary standard most think they need to meet,
but when those standards drop all thats left is concrete,
and the people who surround you turn to judgement and deceit,
 
if you are left feeling like you have nowhere else to go
let life plant some motivation i swear that in time it will grow
and with a smile on your face and a newly found glow
take it out into the world and display it, let it show
 
ideally it will be seen and hopefully be spread,
take away the insecurities and bad thoughts in peoples head,
so for once the concience can be clean when they lay down in their bed,
eventually we can pray the misery and guilt can all be shed
 
hope that i can help the process with the poetry i write,
take away the jealousy set me free of all my spite
but can i really make a difference using my pen as my might,
i hope we can all start over, and maybe this time get it right,
until that day i promise: i will not give up on the fight.

Inside Out

Crying on the inside when a smile's all you see
I'm trying very hard but I just can't seem to be me
Someone has taken over and controls my mind and thought
And it seems that this intruder refuses to be fought

Childish ambition mixed with envy mixed with greed
And it seems we need denero in order to succeed
And I'm just adding to the system I can't even help my mind
I can only sit around here just wishing to rewind

Go back before they took me, my emotions and my scenes
Like something you could only see upon the silver screens
I've become an actor trying to play myself
I've become a worry wart about my mental health

I wish that I could fight him and take him by surprise
I wish that I could take my eyes to witness a sunrise
I wish that I could see the beauty wish that I were me again
I wish that I could take me back and my mind I could defend

I know that I sound crazy, I've become okay with that
I just wish that I could catch a break, seems I'm always up to bat
And even if I get a hit there's no way I'll run the bases
Because my mind is clouded, with a million different cases

So I guess I should submit to this takeover of my soul
I guess there is nothing I can do to try and slow your roll
But I will try my hardest, I will not give up
Because I know I can beat the world if I see a half-full cup

Bloody Mary

the blood red-lipped lady, known as the lady of death,
she'll mutilate your body til' you feel your one last breath

she knows just what she's doing, she's smarter than you think,
you'll see her blood stained tools as they're soaking in her sink

the high-heels, you'll hear them coming as you await your nearing doom,
as she has you strapped upon a table in a dark and drafty room

she's a sexy demon doctor with precise and expert cuts,
she does not judge her patients, from the elderly to sluts

she could have been a surgeon but she was meant for darker things
she was meant to create demons out of simple human beings

she creates all of the monsters that haunt us in our dreams
if she has you just stay quite, she feeds off of your screams

now that you've been warned just how gruesome and how scary
you should all stay on the lookout for that red-lipped Bloody Mary
