Fake it
You can’t fake it, to make it;
You can’t fake it, if you want to make it.
If you have got talent, then you will make it;
But whatever you do, when you reach the top, don’t fake it.
Be real kid, just like your heroes did;
You’ve got to feel it and mean what you say.
No you were not too mean, because you said it with meaning;
You were real, you made me believe, so have a nice day.
Fail to live your life the way they want you to;
You have done all you can to be like them,
But they never embraced you.
Say what you mean, you know we can take it;
Do what you can do and make sure you stay true.
You meant what you said and that is what matters;
Say I love you whenever you get the chance
And never look backwards.
Write it with meaning, but don’t be too mean;
Do what you want to do and you will find meaning.

What do I want for yourself?
I want love
I want you to be the strong man and woman
God wants you to be
I want faithfulness
I want you to actually say what you mean
And mean what you say
I want independence
Life does not depend on you
So why depends on it
Want forever
Is that a forbidden word?
Yeah
So don't say it
Just want it lol
Want forgiveness
Like God has forgiven you
So you should forgive yourself
And others who have forgiven you
I want dramas
Make me laugh
Make me cry
But don't make me into a nothing
With your uncarelessness
That means indifferent my friend
Got a word for you
Live
Does it make a difference what you want?
It should
You are calling it to be
So don't fidget
Smudge it
Forget about it
Let it live
What do I want for you?
You guessed it
The title is a question. T.H.
Present Unwrapped
Plan for tomorrow
live for today
the moment redeeming
future caches
Say what you mean
do what you say
the circle enclosing
— truth on display

No worse enemy
than an ex-friend
No better friend

Empty Promises
Caring not much
for what I haven’t seen
Deaf to those voices
still trapped in between
Caring not much
for what I haven’t been
Each promise stays empty
— not kept from within

Can you …
Know
without thinking
Win
without beating
See
without judging
Cry
without pain
Speak
without stricture
Come
without staying
Wish
without hoping
Share
without claim
Hear
without language
Curse
without malice
Hunt
without preying
Rule
without reign
Fly
without plumage
Dance
without music
Love
without taking
Die
— without shame

Me and the wall
Like an imaginary friend when we were a child.
My thoughts bounce off the wall and then get filed.
Mrs. Beasley, Shilo, and Winnie the Pooh.
No matter what you said, they believed it was true.
My wall let's me figure it out with me and God.
And it's funny, but I never end up feeling odd.
And as I sit here amidst all the reflections.
Somewhere inside I'm ok with the recollections.
Having thoughts that no one else interrupts.
Allows time and space where nothing corrupts.
And in the process of sorting through the muck.
Insight and common sense prevails with any luck.
Introverts and extroverts and everything between.
Hopefully, you mean what you say, when you say what you mean.
Cause when this world get's it's way and in your head.
Sometimes, come what may, it's their thoughts instead.
So, hello old friend, it's you and me till the end.
We've travelled many avenues and around the bend.
Somehow I'm ok with the way things turned out.
Reflective perspective has removed most of the doubt.
Be positive today and everyday,
You say what you mean and mean what you say,
Be positive, Be genuine too,
These two go together, to make a better you,
Be positive, keep thinking for yourself
You'll make the right decision, without anybody's help,
Be positive, in everything you do
Be good to others, it will return to you,
Be positive, show others the way,
Better to do more work and far less play,
Be positive and always be strong,
You'll strive to do right with very little wrong,
Be positive, that's the way to live,
Knowing how to love, showing how to give,
Be positive, this is the way to be,
Faith in God to guide you, will provide you, sweet victory!
You'll see!
You never mind
Sign your name in blood, or just give up.
What it is you think you need, will never be enough.
Think for yourself or get some help;
Throw away all of your wealth.
Iron all your clothes; screw it up.
Fashion is not enough to be just.
Say that you care; brush your hair.
Give no help when they need you to be there.
Stay locked inside; go out and hide,
From all the love you never mind.
If it’s enough, then give it up;
Love is just a ball of miss-trust.
Kick it out; hold it close.
Never believe, it’s time to go.
Hold it in; let it out.
Thoughts are never completely in the here and now.
Act on instinct; become extinct.
Pick yourself up or let go and sink.
Open door’s to other worlds.
Close your eyes to all before.
Never say what you mean;
Never say what is not clean.
Life is a dream; reality is only ever fantasy.
Pick a lock to their heart; open up and leave yourself starved.
Carve your names into a tree…
Are you exactly what you wanted to be?

Smile at the world,
Laugh at yourself.
Cry all alone,
Grin like an Elf.
Yawn when you're tired,
Frown when you're sad.
Giggle when you're happy,
Growl when you're mad.
Hum in the morning,
Scream in the night.
Whisper in the dark,
Sing in the light.
Jog for your health,
Dance just for fun.
Walk around the pool,
Bow to the sun.
Shake a friend's hand,
Big hugs for free.
Kiss Grandma's cheek,
Don't tread on me!
Brush twice a day,
Wash behind your ears,
Shampoo your hair,
Avoid soapy tears.
Say what you mean,
Mean what you say.
Die with your honor,
Live your own way.
FIGURE OF SPEECH
Just a figure of speech,
is the going rate today,
To say what you mean,
and not mean what you say.
Promises, promises,
made to all and everyone,
Rock-a-bye America,
til the destruction is done.
Making promises for the vote,
but don’t keep their word,
But the thing that you get,
is not what you heard.
A very fitting speech,
words goodly spoken,
Hearts won by words,
that intend to be broken.
Loudly proclaimed,
from an empty black hole,
just a figure of speech,
By men without souls.
Like Delilah lured the strength
of Samson away,
The fall of America,
is the real game for today.
Write it down
Write it down, write it down,
Write it down when you are really down.
Write it down, write it down,
Write it down, when you are really down.
Or push them down, push them down,
Push those feelings deep, deep down.
If you are feeling worthless,
Write something that is priceless.
Be true to your words and say what you mean
And your words will leap from the paper and into the machine.
The machine that needs feeding, with feelings and thoughts;
Then you shall begin to write your own books.
Your bible of your time, your life in your own words;
Write it because you have to, or you want to, or write it for him or her.
Find a guitar man to sing your songs,
Get them to sing your words and sing along.
Kill the aesthetics, write something that means something.
Do not care about the consequences,
They cannot take offence if they never see it.
Upload your thoughts into the world-wide-web
And watch them drift off into the atmosphere
And change the atmosphere inside someone else’s head.
Make them think about what you write,
Because you know you are right
And maybe with a little insight,
They will agree or disagree;
But they will see the world through your eyes.
You can’t please all the people all the time,
So don’t attempt to please anyone but yourself.
Because your thoughts are right, to you they are correct;
Tell anyone with negative words to go to Hell.
Because this is what you believe;
But knowledge is power, so read and watch T.V.
