Premium Member In the Company of Alliteration Fixation

While I pondered weak and worn
I'm so weary broken bones.  These
Battered bones could not roam 
Because when bones are busted it's 
Brutally bothersome.  Now look,
Imagine images of imaginary 
Inferior superiority with this fixation.

Simply sample this story.  
With wondrous worldly words
Wendy wondered why Barbra,  Brian 
And Bobby Barrington bounced on
Beds broken by boisterous 
Bouncing.  
At this hour the creative constitutional 
Connection  continued with worth
While comprehension where 
Everybody's effortlessly elated 
Excellently  enthusiastically 
Exercising exultation  etcetera 
Etcetera  etcetera

Dreams

Dreams are made of laughters and smiles
dreams are what encourages that adolescent chlid
dreams that thing we hopelessly chase
dreams are what got us all searching for a
better place dreams can bring fort tears when broken
dreams are what Martin Luther the King spoken
dreams can sometimes over power you to do wrong
but at the same time its the reason why we should all stay strong
most dreams are fantasies we share with eachother
like fairytales we all want to live happily ever after
an individual can achieve a dream
but most of the times it takes a team
it takes more than two
for the dreams of the world becoming a better place
coming through
never give up remember skies the limit
in god we trust in this world of do or die
we shall do what we must
even though we hell bound
we'll keep smiling and leave those who envy to frown

My Letter To God

I'm sitting here restless feeling scared and hopeless
slowly loosing focus from not making progress
i've been trying for so long searching for success
now pain and misery is all thats left
i feel i'm on my last breathe last chance of success
but what to do i got no clue where do i begin
the hassle of living got my head in a spin
losing hope got me drinking broken dreams got me thinking
what am i trying for but still i wont give up
there a star inside there a light that needs shining
i hope the lord will help me as you can see i'm trying
i'm surrounded by broken hearts and death is multiplying
i'm scared no lying only you know my struggle
so only you i can turn to no one else but you
i nightly pray asking you to show me the way
my only wish is better days help me out and show me a way out.
