Long Running the race Poems

Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life, 
Preparing for this day of strife 
To say my goodbye's
To your love-me-not lies
Oh well, oh well
I'm not saying farewell
Where do you dwell?
In...

Feeling like a freak, unleashing dumb foolishness while drunk on rum
My noggin is full of negativity and positivity mixed together

I am relieved, yet grieved like no other
Darkness took you away from me cruelly
Now, the light led you back to life thankfully

You were extremely lost, alone and cold in...

Helplessly calling
Helplessly falling
Falling into place
Running this race

Fall leaves on the ground
They make no single sound
I'm bound to see the other side
You're my one and only beautiful bride

Bite the bullet
Bite the bullet
See right through it
See right...

Hey what did I miss?
Do I owe you something,
that every time I make a move in life you react?
Do I owe you success?
That every time I drown, making bad decisions
You recognize,

Judging like an expert.

I called it hell 
From the huge imposing prison like doors
To the doom like toll of the bell
Everyday the same
Running for the school bus
Full of uncivilized Wild kids
Being pushed and shoved
Countless kids...

A race from the police

A race from poverty, drugs and abuse
A race within our race against our own kind, to...

The Girl
I know a girl,
With a smile that could
Melt stone into silk.
She sits in the front, ahead of me,
In my class, making me wonder what would
Happen if I could go forward, so she could see.
Because...

Slowly our pride fades away
Like a smoke entwined with the air
Rots and decaying dreams
Sends waves of pity upon our soul.

We were drafted like soldiers-
Into the four walls of a classroom
Watching as our destiny was being...

She is so exquisite
Even without make-up on her face
She is exceptional
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has...

The Construct of an Essence Forming

Collaborative custodians of remuneration for the poor
Commemorative symposiums on humans need for wanting more
Symbols of ancient mystery drawn upon cave walls
Thimbles of fragrant misery born from what a man recalls

Your time to shine 
Get in place 
Stand in line 
You'll...

My mind runs like a wolf
I try to slow it down,
pace myself.
But it's set on winning the race,
the race no-one started.

The race no-one else is running,
and yet my mind still demands a challenge
Creating competition for...
