When Everything Is Quiet
No sound
No drama
No nonsense
Submerge in water
No anger
No chaos
Just solitude
Keep life simple
Turn off the news
In one ear and out the other
I like peace and quiet
A man of very few words
Disconnected from society
Turn off the noise
No electronics
No conflict
Confined
Darkness is mine
Creative writings
When everything is quiet
When writing poetry, I’m alive.
No matter how much I say to get your homework done- it seems to go in one ear and out the other
My minds kinda blank
My heart just slowly sank.
I can't think straight
It's not even too late.
It's like a fever dream
Nothing is as it seems.
I'm just going through the motions
It's like i've been hit by a potion.
I don't know what I'm doing
Everything is just moving.
I want to do something productive
But my phone and bed are so addictive.
The words of everyone goes in one ear and out the other
My own mind likes to smother.
I'm in the huge forest of nothingness
I hate the feeling of worthlessness....
Just because I don't agree with you
This is what you decide to do
Shove your frown into my personal space
And start screaming in my face
Time has changed the way things are
People think they have the right to go too far
Back in the day I'll tell you what I'd do
Get in my face and I'd beat the hell out of you
But it doesn't pay anymore to lose my temper
And bring you to your knees and make you whimper
Because these days all I would do is fight
To make the idiots today do what is right
So spare me in my twilight years
Of all your whining, your hurt and your fake tears
I don't care what you say anymore brother
Your words go in one ear and out the other
R-umors that have been flying
O-pen your ears to listen;
S-tay silent about the report,
E-valuate the events that happen.
A-ugust twenty-ninth Tuesday,
N-ews is heard to discern;
G-et your sense in truth,
E-arnestly dissect to
L-earn.
L-et not the gossip spread
E-verywhere in the air;
R-apid noise must go
I-n one ear and out the
O-ther.
Real is no longer the topic of conversation
Searching for the genuine and authentic
Lost within traditional lies
My generation has made me almost vomit, I am quite sick
Copying the moves of the next man
Original thoughts have been abandoned
For to be original is to be unpopular
Unfortunately, this is where the wheel of fortune has landed
Bad has became good
Confused actions are the norm in this twisted affair
Vultures lurk and prey on the weak
These sneaky snakes have overshadowed the biggest bear
Animalistic ideology for many
Trustworthiness is no more than a word
The lexicon of the public has shifted dramatically
Advice is to be spoken but not heard
In one ear and out the other
Words have little power to those who are deaf
The world has become quite foul
Players are now taking shots at the refs
How Are You
By Elton Camp
When a casual acquaintance asks, “How are you”
You needn’t be concerned that you answer true
Even if you actually look and feel as bad as hell
The correct response is, “I am doing very well.”
Don’t any accounting of your many ills begin
It’s a statement with no question mark at the end
Even if you should begin to recount all your woes
In one ear and out the other is where it all goes
Even if you should say, “I am very nearly dead,”
“I’m fine too,” is most likely what’ll then be said
For people very rarely will listen to what we say
They try to be polite, but to escape without delay
If you doubt that what I say is actually correct
Just stop mid-sentence and see if they will detect
Why should should I even deal when I'm dealt a bad hand every time? Why apologize when
I'ts going in one ear and out the other? Why say the words I love you when I'ts only
temporary? Why choose to stay when eventually your going to walk away? Why begin to
care when you know it will end just as quick as it begin? Why get angry at me again about
something you was never over in the first place? Why listen to what I say when you know
I'ts doesn't matter to you anyways?Why try to fix something that's been damaged from the
door?
"CURIOUSITY KILLED THE CAT" BUT MY SPIRIT DIED A LONG TIME AGO.......
Letting Go
My Love For you!
I’ll just drowned the sorrow,
Along With the lost words,
Lost meaning and of hope,
It’s so easy to give up something,
Cause it’s so hard to secede,
I wanted you there,
I wanted you here with me,
But never is what I always got,
I’m sorry,
You knew about this,
I’m so sorry I’ve ever felt this way,
These words I say wont matter,
They’ll just go in one ear and out the other anyways,
MY LOVE FOR YOU,
It runs so deep,
It scares me,
I want to get it out,
Erase You,
For if I had never met,
It’s driving me insane,
I know I can Get passed this,
Cause I'm tough enough too,
It's Okay I'll Just Forget About you!!!,
Somehow At Least,
I'll go to Bed and Try to sleep,
My LOve FOr YOU,
It wont matter if I weep,
Would you stand there,
Cold as morning,
Laughing at me?,
Or would you,
Walk on by,
Saying Nothing,
No Reply?,
MY Love For You,
Once Shined,
Now the Light is slowly diming,
I pull close,
You Push away,
I just wish you would have listend,
To the things I never got to say.

"Careful who you call your friends and the company you keep, Rachelle."
Those words I her throughout the years of growing up from my mother.
Never did I take her words of wisdom to acknowledgement.
My eyes roll in the back of my head "she don't know what she's talkin bout."
In one ear and out the other is how it always went.
Sitting in the police station not anticipating my mother's arrival.
My so called "friend" framed me for a crime that wasn't my doing.
